THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

IN THE PLANTING SEASON.

For Good Reason* He Was Bury. ——lag the Seed en Masse. T S. P. Hood, of the department of agriculture, with good prospects of success is trying to beat the JapanWin. camphor trust by raising camphor groves in Florida. ▲t a dinner In Huntington that celebrated an unusually fine dlftillation of camphor leaves, Mr. Hood, the gnest of honor, told an agricultural story, a story that should appeal to all suburbanites. “One beautiful spring morning," he began, "a suburbanite looked suspiciously over his hedge and said to his neighbor:. I ‘Hey, what the deuce are you burying in that hole there?’ "The neighbor laughed—ra harsh, bitter laugh. “ ‘Oh.’ he said, Tm Just replanting Borne of my nasturtium seeds, that’s all.’ “ ‘Nasturtium seeds?’ shouted the first man angrily. ‘lt looks more like one of my Buff Leghorn hens.’ " ‘Oh, that’s all ‘right,* the other retorted. ‘The seeds ’are inside.’ ”

From Prayer to Laughter.

A revival meeting was in progress and Sister Jones was called upon for testimony, according to the -Cleve--land Leader. Being meek and humble, she said: ‘‘l do not feel as tho I should stancl here and give testimony. I have been a transgressor lor a good many years and have only recently seen the light, I believe that my place is In a dark corner behind the door.” Brother Smith was next called upon for his testimony and, following the example set by Sister Jones, said: "I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years, and I do not think it would be fitting for me to stand before this assembly as a model. I t&ihk my placeTa 'Behind' tfieT (Toor, in a dark corner with Sister Jones.” And he wondered why the meeting was convulsed vrith the laughter of those who came up to pray.

; Henry’s Answer.

Senator Foraker was talking in Xenia, 0., about a political opponent. “I shall answer him,” said the senator, smiling, ‘‘and I fear that my answer will be as satisfying, as unpleasantly satisfying as the elderly husband’s was. “You know, there was an elderly husband to whom his wife said one day: i- _ ' /; “ 'Henry, It’s a world of trouble, and life Is very uncertain. But promise me, if I be taken away, that you ' will never marry that horrid Mary Simmons!’ “ fl can easily promise you that,' Henry replied. ‘She refused m* three times when I was a much bandseiner man than I am today.’ ’’

It Had Been a Rough Passage.

Jacob Hope, the head of Philadelphia’s famous phonograph school for parrots, said the other day: "There are worse things than a swearing parrot, and one was brought over on a German boat last month. His owner, a sailor, swore that this traveled bird knew no profanity, and a lady bought him. "But she had to bring him to me. The parrot, though he didn’t swear, had evidently spent .most of his time on shipboard in the ladies’ saloon, for what he would do was this: —•—-—; —*— L -—•• ■- "For hours at a time he would choke and gasp and hiccough as If he’d never stop, and then he’d slug out feebly, ‘Steward—bucket.’ ”

Promptly Settled.

Two officers once appeared before Gustavus Adolphus of Swedan to ask his permission to fight a duel, as one had grievously toßulted the other. "Certainly, my friends," said the king. "I will be present myself at the encounter.” On the day appointed Gustavus Adolphus appeared on the scene, accompanied by a sinister looking person, who proved to be the public executioner.. Pointing to the two combatants, the king said:. ■ "Yon see these two ipen? Immediately after their duel you will behead the survivor.” The two officers shook hands on the spot.—Pele-Mele.

A Good Guide.

Governor Vardanian of Mississippi, to the course of an address to Jackson, repeated a pithy saying of the famous Bishop Wllborforce. "Bishop Wllberforce,” he said, “was out driving one day when a man on horseback stopped him, and. thinking to have a Joke, asked: “ ‘Excuse me, bishop,’ but could yon tell me the road to Heaven?’ “ ‘Certainly, sir,’ the bishop answered. Tarn to the right, and keep straight on.’"

Ante vs. Woman.

Redd—" Did you over stop to think how much an automobile Is Uke a wlfet" Greene—" Expensive to keep, do yon mean?” t “Yes; bat a fellow never can tell whether he’s going to be able to ' manage one until ho.owns one."

A Genuine Test.

' “That man la bo honeot he wouldn't steal a pin,** said the ad&lrlng friend. “I never thought much at the,pin tort.” answered Miss Cayenne. "Try him with an umbrella! " —Phlladal-

MANY PROGRESSIVES BACK IN THE RANKS

Men Who Supported Roosevelt Are Now Active in Promoting Cause of the G. O. P. Indianapolis, Ind., July 21.—One of the interesting features of the series of conferences at republican state headquarters last week between State Chairman Hays and the county chairmen was, the large number of former progressives who were active in the organization work. . Edgar D. Bush, of Salem, who is making an active fight from one end of the district to the other, as the republican nominee for congress, was a supporter of the candidacy of ■Col. Roosevelt in 1912. Aaron Rasor, of Warsaw, was a

progressive in 1912 but he is now chairman of the Kosciusko county republican organization. Ben F. McCready, of Connersville, was one of the prominent progressive leaders in the sixth district in 1912 but he is now the active chairman of the Fayette county republican committee. One of the prominent figures in the republican conference Wednesday was Walter S. Montgomery, of Shelbyville. In 1912 Mt. Montgomery,. through hLs.papeiytoeSb.elhyville Republican, was a progressive leader of his congressional district. This year Mr. Montgomery and his paper are active in the advancement of the interests the republican party. He is now a member of the executive committee of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association, 1 Charles E. Edwards, of Hendricks county, was a progressive worker in 1912. He is now chairman of toe Hendricks county republican committee, and as sttch was a participant in Thursday’s conference. J.

was one of toe stronga«t supix>rters of Roosevelt in western Indiana in 1912, was prominent in. Friday’s conference of republican workers. Jas. L. Wilson was prominent as a progressive in the (fifth district in 1912. He is now toe republican nominee for toe legislature in day coqrity. Ralph V. Sollit, of Peru, was a progressive in 1912. He is now the republican nominee for the legislature in Miami coftnty. W. F. Klee, of Indianapolis, who made speeches in eastern In’diana - in 1912 under the direction of the progressive state committee, was a participant in the republican conference Thursday. (Mr, Klee will make republican speeches in Indiana this fall. A number of other former progressives took part in perfecting plans for the republican organization work in toe state. The former progressives are finding that the plank in toe recent republican party platform regarding party management means just exactly what it says—that every member of the party has an equal share in its direction and responsibilities.

Bryan Defends Colombian Treaty.

A statement was issued the first of the week by Secretary of State Bryan, defending the course of the administration as to the pending .treaty with Colombia. He reminds the country that this administration came in finding an existing estrangement between this country and Colombia which dated, hack thirteen years. It was not necessary to discuss the events that caused the estrangement. Also he calls attention to the tact that Colombia had insisted upon arbitration, which toe United States (had refused. Now, he argues, “our nation being muteh the larger and having refused to arbitrate, takes upon itself the responsibility of doing justice to Colombia.” Further, the secretary says that no one will deny that Colombia has “sustained great financial loss in toe separation of Panama from her.” Prior to the separation we had offered to pay $10,000,000 and $250,000 a year for 700 years for toe canal rights. This did not take into account the actual loss off the .territory, of Panama. As for the expression of regret, which had excited so much unfavorable comment, he said that this was almost identical with the statement made by Minister Du Bois during the Taft administration in proposing a similar financial settlement. In conclusion the Bryan statement says: "The ratification at the Colombian treaty will restore the friendly relations which for a century preceding 1913 existed between Colombia and the United States. It also will enable Colombia and Panama to settle their differences and deal with each other on a neighborly basis. More than that, it will give prestige to .the United States .throughout Spanish America. This nation can afford to he just; even more It can afford to he generous in . the settling of disputes, especially when by its generosity it ean increase the friendliness of the many millions of Central and South Americans with whom our relations become daily more intimate.”

CARTON'S FIRST FARE

By JAMES ANDERSON

For the third time a coachman called on Carton to move along that

Carton looked down into the face of an exceedingly pretty girl and flashed a glance at the cars ahead. In an instant he comprehended the situation. “Dollar an hour,” he said gruffly, touching his leather cap with what he congratulated himself was a good Imitation of'a chauffeur’s salute. “I shall want you about three hours,” she said simply, and waited while he sprang down and opened the door in the back of the tonneau. In another moment they were speeding up the street. “Turn down the next street to 274,” she ordered, and obediently Carton drew up. “I want to send my mother out for a drive,” she Baid sweetly. “Give her a good view of the city and keep the rest for yourself.” • She ran up the steps, while Carton stared blankly at the five-dollar hill she had thrust Into his hand. A few moments later down the steps came one of the most eccentric figures he had ever seen. Her clothes bore the stamp of-seasons gone before.

She fixed herself comfortably to the seat, and with a querulous “Don’t go *too fast, young man,” they started. It was torture to Hugh to skim through- the residential district with this old figure to the tonneau, and more than one surprised glance followed the automobile and the oddly assorted pair. Even the hope of being able to wto the old lady’s favor vanished when after several attemp’ts to engage her in conversation she leaned forward and in her high-pitched voice said: “It's no use to talk to me young man; I’m deaf and I wish you would not turn round; you make me nervous; yon can’t see where you are going.” He heaved a sigh of relief when at last he deposited her before her own door and was free to escape. It was late when he entered the Howells’ drawing-room that evening. The butler was just announcing dinner and there was barely time to make hurried greeting to hiß hostess and offer his arm to hie companion for the dinner. Before each plate on the long table stood a characteristic favor and the laughter was long and loud when he picked up the tiny silver and gilt cigarette holder fashioned in the form

of an automobile that stood at hifc plate. The laughter became a shriek when on lifting the lid he discovered a five-dollar bill in stage money. As bravely as he could, he faced the storm of laughter and jeering remarks which followed, but not until he caught sight of Howell at the other end of the table, fairly convulsed with mirth, did he discover the secret of bis undoing, for beside the joker, red and unsmiling, was his fare of the morning. When they had all returned to the drawing-room balm was poured upon his wounded feelings, for the girl came up to him.

“I want to apologize to you, Mr. Carton,” she said bravely, “for my Innocent complicity in the Joke my cousin haß played upon you. “I am Mabel Norton, Fred’s cousin, and it was he who pointed yon out to me and recommended you as the most careful of the public drivers. I assure you that I had no idea that he was playing a joke upon you.” "It is all right,” said Carton. “I was playing a joke npon you, you see. 1 had no business to do it, but —well,” he went on, lamely, “I thought that maybe—after a while—l might be able to tell you that you were my guest and not my fare, anyway—perhaps— well, I hope your mother enjoyed the ride.”

“Oh, that is what they are laughing at. You see, my mother was not at home when I got back, and I sent my old nurse for a ride It was the fact that you had been trapped into taking her that made them think it so funny.” From an inner recesß of Ills cardcase Carton drew forth a five-dollar bill, wrapped in tissue piper. “At any rate,” he said gravely, “I hope you will let me return this.” “You have surely earned it,” she said, flushing slightly as she saw .the care he had taken of It T do —da. not want It” * > “Won’t you exchange It” he said boldly, for that roee?" *- She unfastened the blossom she was wearing to her hair. With Infinite care he folded it In the tissue paper and placed it where the hiß had been. “I feel like an extortioner,” he said simply, but there was that to tee tone which spoke volumes.

others might drive up to the curb tod with a mattered expression of disgust at the length of time it took Fred Howell to select a cigar Hugh Carton ran his automobile across the street and fell to line behind two other cars drawn up beside the square. He did not notice that the others 'belonged to a sightseeing company until a musical voice inquired
