Think It Over.

For seven years Theodore Roosevelt was president of the United States. His party was in power in senate and house. There was no war between the white house and congress. Ever}’ recommendation Roosevelt made was favorably acted upon. Every good law he could think of he had it in his power to have passed. What new legislation has he advocated now the republican party would Dot willingly have passed? What new ideas has he that the republicans would not have willingly put in their platform? Think this over, you progressives? Ask yourselves these questions. And you democrats, ask yourselves why you think of voting for the untried and uncertain Wilson instead of for the tried and certain Taft? The more you study the matter the more convinced you will become that whatever your politics it is to your interest, and the interest of the nation, to vote for the re-election of William H Taft

Farmer Is In Doubt

tA farmer of near Knightstown has a philosophy all his own for the political conditions that prevail now With the election of a democratic president threatened and a panic impending, he has begun to prepare for the worst. He has sold his farm near Knightstown, and has rented one in northern Rush county to await the results of the election and its effects on business. “I bought a good farm at $l5O an acre, and I have paid for it with ninecent hogs, nine-cent cattle and seven-ty-cent corn during the good republican times,” said the farmer. “I have sold my farm at a good price, and I am going to keep my money until I see whether the good republican times are to continue or the democratic panic is to ensue. I don’t care about paying $l5O per acre for a farm now and have to pay it out with thirty-cent corn, four-cent hogs and cattle. You can readily see why.”—Logansport Journal.

Wilson on Pensions.

In his book, “Epochs of American History—Division and Reunion,” Governor Woodrow Wilson says, on page 297: "The other leading questions of these years were the granting of pensions and the regulation of immigration. Congress has hastened from one lavish vote to another in providing pensions for the soldiers who had fought in the eivil war until at length generosity had passed into folly.” go many children are working in the onion fields near Laotto that the Opening of schools has been postponed until September' 24th. h-

FAMOUS CORNET SOLOIST

JOHN DOLAN, OF NEW YORK.

Mr. Dolan is famous over America as a cornetist and heads the long list of soloists who will play with the Patrick Conway band of New York, which will give afternoon and evening concerts at the Indiana State Fair.

DISPLAYS FOR WOMEN

RICH EXHIBITS FOR THESE LOYAL FRIENDS OF STATE FAIR. Band Concerts, Parades, Great Show of Needlework, Decorated China, Pictures, Table Luxuries For Week of Sept. 2. There are thousands of Hoosler women who make Indiana State Fair week their vacation time, laying aside home work for a pleasure trip to the exposition, not only to enjoy the entertainment that is offered there, but to gather up ideas which they can apply to their affairs at home. To these women the exposition is a source of rest and refreshment as well as education and inspiration. For nearly sixty years the women of Indiana have been constant in their loyalty and attendance upon the fair, and, in anticipation of the feminine visitors coming to the exposition during the week of Sept. 2, the management is preparing a great feast of enjoyment for them. It is difficult to single out .any one division of the exposition and say that it is most attractive to the women. They are to be found in crowds in all portions of the grounds. They enjoy the band concerts, the races, the fruit, flower, poultry, dairy, horse and other shows. They swarm through the "midway,” with its carnival shows, thousands of women line the route of the live stock parades through the fair grounds. But if there are one or two points where the women concentrate most of their interest it is in the fine arts building and around thtVhow of table luxuries in Horticultural hall. The Indiana fair has become far famed for Its displays of decorated china and needlework. It is doubtful if any exposition annually held in America can rival the Indiana fair in those two lines of feminine taste and industry. The show of needlework is very wide in variety, ranging from old-fashioned quilts, such as the grandmothers of other days patiently patched and stitched, to the “last word” in infants’ wear, shawls of today’s creation, and fancy work of many kinds which grace the modern home. The show of china comes from the gifted hands of the best Indiana artists, who are without superiors in their especial line. Pictures In oils, water colors and photography, leather and brass work, and other lines of artistic endeavor as followed by talented women go to enrich the fine arts exposition of the Indiana fair. There is every promise that this division of the exposition will, as it does every year, crowd the big building assigned to it to overflowing. Indiana women who are highly gifted in the culinary art are, through their displays of table luxuries, always in evidence at the Indiana fair, and will be again at the coming exposition. The Hoosler women who send their jellies, Jams, breads and eakes, spiced fruits and candies, long ago won distinction at the state fair as genuine artists, and there is always very sharp rivalry for the prise ribbons that are awarded at the Hoosler exposition, as well as great crowds of women to see these products of the Heosier kitchens. The total prise awards offered in the fine arts and table luxury departments of the coming fair amount to ovqr $1,900. " > The entries to all classes of the state fair close on August 17. This early date is necessary that an Immense amount of clerical work may be completed by the secretary- The award book must be made up, the live stock entries must be classified, a catalogue of nearly 100 pages must be printed, all of this work to be done before the fair opens on Sept 2.*

One Moonlight Night

By DONALD ALLEN

(Copyright, IMS, by Associated latent? Fran. There was no particular excitement when the Hon. John Watkins and his son James arrived at the mountain resort on an August day. The Hon. John was sixty-five years old and rich and a widower. His son was twenty years old and confiding and fat. But for the son’s confiding nature It would not have been known to all the guests within three days that the governor, meaning his old man, was on the lookout tot a second wife, and he wanted a young one at thatr The Hon. John neither denied nor confirmed the story. He simply looked about like a man who wonld marry If he found the right woman. There were mammas who secured introductions to him when they heard of his wealth, and there were a very few daughters who looked at him from afar off and wondered if they wanted another grandpa. It was when the Widow Savage arrived that the flutter began. She was fair and forty. She had the independent toss of the head that goes with widowhood after the first year. She had little ways with her eyes and mouth that made all the other women jealous the very first day. Of course, the stupid men simply looked upon her as a widow, but it was her own sex that unmasked her. When one of them said: “That widow has come here to catch a man!” all repeated it in chorus. , - , There were plenty of young people at the resort. Some widows, as soon as hearing that the Hon. John was wife-hunting, would have gone manhunting in. return. The Widow Savage didn’t. She eluded him. She didn’t coddle the fat son, as some women did. She forced father and son to keep their distance and selected only after three or four days. Her victim was a young man. He had already tangled himself up with a blue-eyed girl a year younger, but that fact did not sway the widow the least bit. When she got ready to appropriate him she did so. The blue-eyed girl made a very poor attempt to show the people she

He Began to Tell Her His Life History

didn’t care, and then it was noticed that the Hon. John was giving her all his attention. They sat together and walked together and talked together, and the fat son saw things and took his father to task by saying: “Now, goV, don’t make a fool of yourself. That girl won’t make a mammy for me. Why don’t you go for the widow?” "James, the widow is blase,” was the reply. “The second time a woman marries she marries for money. She marries to boss the resort. She marries hoping her husband will soon get off the earth and give her a third show.” “But she’s a staver, gov. Fine looker, and what a walk ehe has on her! If you are elected to congress next year what a team you’d make!” “But the Widow Savage, James, has almost snubbed me. I will confess that I had an eye on her for a day or two, but she is cold and distant—cold and distant She may argue that I would outlive her.” But, as if to prove that the Hon. John’s diagnosis was all wrong, the Widow Savage threw herself in his way the very next day and was most entertaining. The noee of Miss Blue Eyes was out of Joint again. Her second flirtation was spoiled by the widow. Her eyes flashed with apger, and when the Hon. John asked her to sit in one of the grottoes she coldly declined. "Forget her, governor, and go for the widow ” was the advloe of James, who didn’t do any flirting but kept his eyes open. ' "Blase, James —blase! Blase and hrtful! She’d twist me around her finger like a string. I will toy with her now and then, but my mind is made up on Miss Smith. In fact, I have already talked love to her and led her to expect a proposal." Miss Smith was walking by herself in the hotel grounds. She was thinking of widows as she walked—one widow in particular. Hiss Smith was classed ’way up at the head of smart, good-looking girls, and she had been humiliated. She bit her lip and gritted her teeth and felt the

tears start as she sauntered. Her mother had said it didn’t matter in the least, but it did matter. It mattered just the difference between victory and defeat, and —and— —— And then the Widow Savage suddenly appeared and took her arm and walked her up the path to the Outlook, and vAen they were seated on the rocks she softly said: “I am not your enemy, but - your friend. You don’t wish to marry that old man, Uo y®u?" . —- “Mercy, no!” was the reply, as Miss Smith forgot her desire for revenge. “Well, I do.” “But yon—yon got' Prank away from me.” “And I’m going to give him back. I was just using him as a means to and end. I called him a booby a moment ago, and ’ he’ll be on his knees to you tomorrow. The Hon. John is to be my next husband.” "But how —how do you work things so?” “By being a widow. Now, listen to me.” The evening came on with a full, clear moon. The moon so worked on the sentimental nature of the Hon. John, as well as the surrounding corn crop, that he Invited Miss Smith to wander with him. To his great Joy she accepted his arm. They walked as far as Seal Rock and then sat down and gazed at the moon. Porpoise Rock, Fish Rock and Whale Rock also were near at hand. After the silence had lasted four or five minutes the Hon. John cleared his throat. The noise set the frogs in the pond a-plping. After another interval he took Miss Smith’s hand in his. There came a third Interval, then he began to tell her his life history. It was a sad one. It was full of step-fathers and step-mothers and boils and colic and kicks from cows that cared not for hie forlorn condition. He had married and not been happy, and lost his wife and not been happy over that, and for years and years had lived a lonely life with only a fat son to cheer him. He was rich, but lonely. He was rich, but he yearned. He wanted a fireside with a cat and a wife. He wanted to come home after a hard day’s work tn seeing the district leaders of the Tenth ward and have some one call him hubby. At intervals of about a foot, as marked off on a tape measure, Miss Smith sighed and cuddled, but that was all. As the Hon. John brought his story dowp to date and his voice broke and he had to use his handkerchief to wipe away the scalding tears. Miss Smith’s own handkerchief got away from her and the night breeze carried it to Porpoise Rock. She twisted away her hand and ran after it and even disappeared behind the rock for an instant. She had returned and taken her seat again and surrendered her hand by the time the Hon. John had chased the tear away and was ready to say: “And now, love, it is for you to say whether this lonely life shall continue or not.” The hand he held squeezed his. "I have loved you since the first moment I saw you.” A harder squeeze. “And I ask you to be my wife.” “I will, John!” “By thunder, it’s the widow!” exclaimed the Hon. John, as he scrambled to hls feet. . “And we’ll say a month from today if that will please you!” The Hon. John hurried away to the hotel to consult his fat son.' “She’s got you tight, gov, and you’ll have to go through with it,” was the information extended. “Putup Job, but breach of promise and all that If you don’t stand by your word. Splendid looker! Splendid dresser! Superb walker! Say, parent, you Just missed making an ass of yourself. Get a move on you!” And the Hon. John did, and they say he has never regretted It.

Writing With invisible Ink.

There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each other unknown to even the persons before whose eyes the very letter 1b held. For Instance, new milk may be used as ink. When dried this is invisible, but if coal dust or soot be scattered upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon Juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the characters written with the first two become black or brown, and the latter green. And when the paper becomes cool the wilting disappears, leaving the paper blank again. Two good invisible inks are made by saltpeter dissolved in water, and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved In Srater.

Tiny Mouse Spoils Drama.

The hero kicked at the mouse and it ran off the stage and Jumped into the orchestra. Thereupon five hundred women, on seeing the cause of the interruption of the drama, stampeded for the doors. In the rush Mrs. A. Blake was injured. The mouse escaped.

Music will be one of the choicest popular attractions at the Indiana State Fair, which opens at Indianapolis on Labor Day, Sept. 2.

Soprano and instrumental soloists will be features In all of the concerts, which will be heard morning, afternoon and night. The stellar attraction in the way of concerts will be given by Patrick Conway and his band, of New York, an organization that has never played In Indiana. Conway is regarded as the successor of P. S. Gilmore, the pioneer band master of America, who won his reputation as a bandsman by gathering up the best talent of the country and developing them into a concert organization of highest merit.

Sinoe then the band has been heard for six years at Young’s Pier, Atlantic City; five seasons at Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia; three seasons at Oakland, Cal.; six seasons at Rivervlew Park, Chicago.

The soprano soloist will be Miss Josephine Dunfee, who has been soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra, who has been popular as a soprano In music festivals In many cities, has won fame in many grand operas, and has been on the stage with DeWolf Hopper in his light opera productions. The band and Miss Dunfee will be heard In the Coliseum each afternoon and evening of the fair, giving popular programs at each concert. The Indianapolis Military Band, which has played at the Indiana fair for twenty years, began its career there with fifteen men and at the comfair will have forty musicians. With this band for the first time will appear a soprano soloist—Miss Anna Woodward of Chicago, rated as the premier of all band soloists of the middle west She has been a prominent factor in Important musical events hi a number of cities and has been heard In Indianapolis theaters, where she won much favor.
