THE lecture of Dr. Bryan president of the State University was the first of tbe season and marks the dignity of a number of literary treats that will be oilered to our people.

~F AT last it seems as if the pub. lie is to be relieved of the nauseating stream of putrid filth that has flowed from the courts during the Taggart trial by granting somebody a divorce. Decent people will be glad to know that sensational headlines have run out of slush in one more case.

TWENTY-NINE years ago tbe Farmers Insurance Company of this county was organized. That it is in a splendid condition today is, creditable to its managers. Benton L. Barrett, the secretary and. treasurer, is deserving of honorable mention for his untiring work in behalf of the organization.

THE Horse Thief Detective Association will have to sit up and take notice, for when a man can run a livery stable a number of months in the^'heart of the city of Muncie before he is detected, he must be a smooth citizen or the detectives are sleeping on their opportunities.

THERL. is an inmate of the county infirmary whodoes nothing but care for the ducks. He has a large flock of them and dr'ves them into a house every night, which he calls a jail./'./

THE King of Italy has gone to be scene of the recent earthquake. It is hoped that a look at the stricken sufferers upon the sacred person of His Majesty, will banish all the distress of the distressed victims of the disaster.

THE sermons preached Sun day by Rev. Stranahan, the new pastor of the Friends church, show the young msnister to be a man of excellent thought and clear delivery. He is as yet a comparative stranger amon* our people, and deserves to be given a cordial welcome.

FORMER Governor Durbin has gone actively into tbe manufacture of paper boxes at Anderjson. At a recent meeting of tbe Sefton Paper Box company J. W. Sefton was elected president and former Governor Durbin, vice president. It is said be will make his future home in

Anderson.

It is arranged that all Red Men who can go to Indianapolis Tuesday to work for C. A. Robinson the candidate of Wenonah Tribe for Great Junior Sagamore shall leave here not later than the 6:45 car. Those who can go on the early car^ are requested to do so All Past SaIcheuis and chief's degree members are requested to go.

WHILE lecturing in Chicago recently, Dr. G. Hirsh made a statement that will surprise many. He said that the Jewish people were of old a farming people, but that they had been driven from their lands. This may have been true, but thefe are very few Jews in America who are farmers. There is a community of Jews who are arm-i ers in Wabash county, this state, and wtiile they are few in number, they are prosperous.

"Her Fatal Sin': headed by the prominent young emotional actress Anna Hamilton, will be the attraction at the Opera House on Tuesda}' night, Oct. 17, presented here just as seen in all the larger cities of the country, with the same elaborate and marvelous stage settings and all the same features that has made this play so famous. The story is of tbe ambition of "Carmen," a beautiful Spanish street singer of San Antonio, Texas, whose endeavor to gain wealth brings about her undoing, told in a delightful manner, entirely free from any trace of suggestiveness, with absolutely nothing to offend the most critical. It is especially a play for the ladies, although it appeals to everybody and the most blase theatre goer finds in it a story so interesting that it holds the closest

attention to the drop of the final curtain. During the Boston engagement of the company last season, the Shakesperian Club, one of the most /exclusive women's clubs in that city, attended the performance in a body.

The November "Smart Set"

His Grace the Duke of Argyil (brother-in-law of Edward vn.) contributes to the November number of The Smart Set along poem entitled "The Three Little Africanders which is delightfully homorous. The ventures of royality into literature are always interesting, and this contribution by His Grace will be read by everyone. The Countess of Winchelsea is also represented in this issue by a short poem of distinct-merit. "The Game and the Candle," by a new writer of great promise, Francis Davidge, is the novelette which opens the November number. It presents a fine picture of modern Njew York society, and the plot, hinging upon the marriage of a young man of wealth and sta tion to a girl almost wholly lacking in culture, is engrossing. The author's pen is delightfully epigrammatic and satirical, and she knows thorough^ the life of which she writes.

Kate Jordan is one of the best short story writers in the country To the November Smart Set she contributes what is undoubtedly her finest piece ot work, under the alluring title, "Unseen of Men." James Huneker is the author of another striking story of France, called "The Tragic Wall," whfEh is remarkable for its originality of theme JJand its technique. Eda Kenton's "Charlotte" is powerfully psycholagic, and Ellis Parker Butler, whose name is fast becoming identified with the best American humor, tells a laughable story in "Mrs. Madden's Golden /Wedding." Arthur Bartlett Maurice contributes a detective story which is^equally as fine as any of the famous Sherlock Holmes tales. It is called "The Harvey Chase Documents." Guy Bolton, Pomona Penrin and others also tell interesting stories, and there is one in French, as usual. The essay is from the pen of Douglas Story entitled "The Significance of Small Talk. Verse is scattered through the pages from poets as well "known as Ella Wheeler Wilcox, John Kendrick Bangs, Frank Dempster Sherman and Theodosia, Garrison.

Tbe November Smart Set is a remarkable gathering of the literary brains of two continents.

New Order to Train Men

An order has been issued to trainmen of the Panhandle that will work a revolution in the make-up of passenger trains for this time on. This order is to the effect that in future, baggage cars must be put into the train next to the engine, and that uuder no consideration will passengers coaches or^any other cars where any number of human beings are carried be put next to the engine. |i

This is an order, the direct outgrowth of the experience of railroading'up'to this time, and it is believed will result in the aggregate of saving ^hundreds of lives everyjfyear ^in^gwreck fatalities. It has been observed that in wrecks the jfront cars are always the most seriously damaged, and in "these front cars the loss of life is greatest. This experience has brough^the order to place the baggage cars next to the engine the observation also having been made^that when a car^is full offbaggage it is difficult to entirely! wreck, and the practically solid™ car acts as a buffer for the remainder ot the train, and^the wreck is not nearly so serious as it is under other conditions. What will happen to the baggagemen in these cars is not taken"into consideration and forms rather a humorous side to the matter, not, however, humorous to the baggageman himself, but he is only one or two, and stands a fair sho^N?f getting out alive if the train goes to pieces.

An Improvised Boat

[Original.]

Hector Zaldo, a young Cuban revolutionist, gave tbe Spanish government more trouble than any other one man. Just where he would turn up next or what damage he would do to the oppressors of Cuba nobody knew. He liad friends to help him and his own resources were remarkable. For ingenuity in devising methods he was a wonder. There is no knowing how long he might have kept out of the clutches of his enemies had not his love for Maria Morales caused him to act indiscreetly. During a vi*it to her while her father's ihacienda was surrounded by the Spanish forces llector was captured. He would have been executed, but he was so popular among the Cubans that the captain general to whom his case was referred concluded to imprison him oil one of the islands in the archipelago de los C.'.n irrejs.

Ho was permitted to receive letters, though thoy wt-re all read before being given to hnn. Maria succeeded in saying forbkkleu things to him by writing them in iemon juice. Hector, who had arranged rhe matter with her before his departure, would heat her letters, whereupon the words written wiih the juice, previously invisible, would appear in a dark brown.

It was not long before the lovers were planning an escape. Hector's prison, being surrounded by water, was not carefully guarded, and the prisoners were at times permitted to roam at will on the few acres the island contained. He knew that if he could procure a boat he could arrange with Maria to meet him on the ocean in some sort of craft by which he could be taken out of harm's way. But the prison officials knew this as well as he. and no boat was permitted on or to approach the island except such as belonged to themselves. "You are very resourceful," wrote Maria. "Can't you improvise a boat?" '-"What can I make one out of?" replied Hector.

One day as Maria was heating one of her lover's letters she was delighted to see words appear asking her to have a vessel just without the line over which boats were not permitted to approach the island, and directly to the west. The craft was to be in position on a certain nijght and await smooth water. "How provoking!" the girl pouted. "Why couldn't he have told me what kind of a boat he would use?" The a cold shiver passed over her as she thought that his method might be so dangerous that he would not confide it to her. That night she dreamed that she was out on the water waiting for him and his dead body came floating toward her.

Senorita Maria confided the proposed escape to her father, who at once hired a small steamer and made preparations to keep the appointment. But he discouraged his daughter from hoping for success, assuring her that no prisoner could or would be permitted to build a boat in which to sail to freedom. To tell the truth, the girl felt all the fear her father felt, and more. She dreaded lest Hector should embark on a board or some frail raft that would either not support him or would be capsized or from which he would be washed by the waves. Her dream was ever present in her mind and she felt sure that her lover would come to her in death. v»

On the appointed night Sonar Morales and his daughter, with a competent crew, were in position five miles west of the island. The weather was fine and tlie water smooth. Only a long ground swell interfered with boating and any skiff could have lived. Maria was so filled Avith dread lest her lover would not be able to take advantage of the favorable conditions that her father to divert her mind kept her wondering what kind of a boat the prisoner could possibly get possession of. He suggested every expedient he csulti think of, though the catalogue was not long.

As dawn approached they got ready their glasses to scau the surface of the water. When it was light enough to see, Senor Morales' eyes alone were available, for his daughter's hand trembled so that she could not hold her glass steadily. Every quarter was examined critically without discovery. Senor Morales began to prepare his daughter for disappointment. Suddenly there was a faint flash on the water. Maria raised her glass, looked for a moment, then swooned. Her father laid her on the deck, then raised his own glass.

What is that rising and falling with the swell? No, there can be no mistake. It is a coffin. Maria had told her dream to her father, who had made light of it. Now this vision of reality or whatever it was appalled him. He continued to watch, and ordered the vessel to steam toward- it. When the uncanny thing came under his bows he saw that the lid had been nailed down and a cockpit cut in it. Rowlocks had been put in, and there were improvised paddles. A metal plate had not been removed, and it was a flash on this that had revealed it to Maria. The stricken girl, having recovered, looked over the boat's side just in time to see her lover's ghost rise from the cockpit, and she swooned again. S

When she opened her eyes a second time, Hector held her in his arms, and the warmJkiss he gave her assured her that he was flesh and blood.

This was his explanation: Having been put to work in the coffin slied, it occurred to him to make a boat of a coffin. At odd times he had stolen into the room alone and done the work. When discovered In his grewsoine craft, he had faljen asleep from fatigue.
