RATE regulation will come. •Some of it has already come. Some of it has come from the railroads themselves: more oi it has come through the inlluence of railroad commissions, and still more of it will come through additional laws on the subject. It is desirable that these laws come from the national legislature, for the reason that then the requirements will be uniform throughout. the different states.
WHAT is news?'' is a question that is very difficult to answer. Here is an illustration: There is probably not a farmer in the world that raises sheep but has time after time been followed by one or more lambs for 2, 3, -5 or 10 minutes. When the plebian lamb follows the average man it is not a matter of news— but the ether day 2 lambs followed J. J. Van Alen, who married into the Astor family, and Immediately the 'event' was celebrated in the Xew York newspapers in o00 or 400 words. On his own merits Mr. Van Alen might not be worth two lines of an obituary following a soap advertisement, but because he is worth several millions of dollars and married an Astor. not even an infant sheep can smell his coat tail without the facts being set forth in the New York prints under attractive headlines.
floating Down River.
At nine o'clock this morning Hayes Thomas and Ernest Faussett, of Fortville, started to row down White River from Anderson to the Ohio. They had spent some time preparing their boat, and had everything in shape ior their long trip. The}' started from the Ninth street .'bridge just as the clock struck nine, determined to make the trip downstream in as enjoyable •manner as possible.
They have about three hundred miles to make, and plenty -of time in which to do it. On "the way they will' camp^just when and where they please, and can get plenty of everything necessary at the towns they pass. They vvill^be gone about a month.—Anderson News, Aug. a.
Another Big Sale.
The Star Store's great special sale commenced this morning as announced, Many bargains are being offered in order to reduce the stock and make room for fall stock. Several extra clerics were secured' in order to wait upon the people who are taking advantage of the reductiou of prices offered by this popular store.* The sale will continue for several days or until the articles advertised are exhausted.
Still a Movin'.
The following from the Otterbein Sun refers to our old friend, "Fix" Winters, who was a compositor on this paper until last in a W in formerly compositor on the Sun, was visiting friends in Otterbein Sunday.''
We are prepared to furnish see cream and ices to church festivals and similar entertainments at the most reasonable prices.

and

BATTLEFIELD ORATIONS.
the
A Great Deul of Fiction About ItecordiHl Mnrtinl Sjieeolie*. Somebody once ask-.'d the Duke of Wellington if speeches on the battlefield were really made as reported and what was their effect. The duke said, "What effect on the whole army eau be made by a speech since you cannot conveniently make it heard by more than a thousand men standing about you7" Then the duke was asked if It were not the fact that Napoleon delivered some rather notable orations on the field. The duke would not have It. "The proclamations you read of in the French army were much more seen In the papers than by the soldiers—they were meant for Paris." It was all right, the duke agreed, to address a regiment upon presenting it with colors and that sort of thing. On the whole, French troops might be more Impressed by a speech than the English. who in the duke's Waterloo army were, he declared, "the scum of the earth, who had all enlisted for drink." The French, with their system of conscription, had a fair sprinkling of all classes. comments a writer, ''all these martial obiter dicta which our histories treasure up for us were for the most part: never spoken at all. The 'last words' of dying men and the speeches made on the battlefield or The deck of an admiral's tiagship are not to be regarded as liming been actually uttered. The famous 'Up. guards, and at 'em!' accredited to Wellington at Waterloo, w.is never spoken. Wellington himself denied it."
SELLING GOODS.

When a customer comes in. don't, whatever you do. drag yourself out of the chair as though you were disturbed from a rest, but jump up and greet her or him as though you were really glad to wait on them. Act so they will ask for you the next time they come to the store. The salesman who is constantly being asked for by customers never has to worry about a Job.
Don't be stiff and act. or feel as though you were far the mental superior of the customer. If you do, no sale will result.

A Stevenson St or?.
A book on Stevenson tells of a speech he made at a gathering of Scotchmen In Samoa. He said: "I cannot say why we arc proud to be Scotsmen, but the fact remains that we are. It is not that our laud is sunny like these tropical isles, and its climate is not even lovely. Scotland's history contains little that is not disgusting to people of humane feelings. That long brawl which is called Scottish history contains scarcely one object that Scots have patience with." The address drew tears to the eyes of a (Jerman who had gone to the meeting violently prejudiced against Stevenson. No sooner had the speaker finished than the meeting proceeded to clasp hands and sing "Auld Lang Syne."
"Oh, yes, he's quite an enthusiast. Ho goes in for things in real earnest." "Yes, if some one were to send hirn on a wild goose chase he'd speak of himself afterward as a sportsman."— Philadelphia Press.

The August Smart Set.
Mrs. Burton Harrison's name has always been identified with particularly entertaining fiction and for many years she has not given us so capital a piece of work as "The Carlyles,'' the long novel which opens the August number ol The Smart Set. It is by far her most important story, and is a distinct dejKirture from her former novels. The scenes are lakFin and around Richmond, during the stirring days of
1S(55,
and the
introduction of several historical events adds greatly to the interest of a splendid dramatic love story. No novelist dealing with the Civil War period has succeeded in creating a more realistic atmosphere or characters more convincing.
Richard Le Gallienne, who is, perhaps, one of the most in teresting figures in contemporary literature contributes to this number an idylic story wherein his delicate art is revealed at its best. "The Butterfly of Dreams'" is the fanciful title he has chosen, and as a mere weaving together of exquisite words the story is incomparable. Eliza4Lines. beth Jordan, well known through her tales of child life, writes another delightfully humorous story called "We Save Evelina May."' "The Good Man'' by Edna Kenton is a powerful psychological study of a woman who wearies of the petty tyranny of her unsympathetic band.
