Governor Hanly has published a statement giving reasons why lie did not grant the petitions presented to him in behalf of David E. Sherrick, the convicted ex-State Auditor. His statement shows clearly that Sherrick was not entitled to the relief sought by the petitions. According to it Sherrick not only appropriated^, the •State's money to his own use, but lost much of it at gambling tables. The statement shows that immediately upon induction into office he took $20,000 of the State's money with which to pay personal debts which he owed.

EFFORTS to introduce the parcels post in the United States have always been defeated by the influence of the Express .^Companies whose most notable jrepresentative is Senator Piatt •oi New York.

parcels at one twelfth the cost now charged by the express companies and make a profit on it. There are thirty-five foreign countries in the Parcels Post Union and in that business last year Germany made a profit of over $14,000,000. while the profits of England on the four bil lion packages carried by the Parcels post amounted to $12, 000,000. These are figures to convince the people that a par eels post in this country is as much of an economical necessity in this country as the regulation of railroad rates by the Govern rnent.

rate goods at second rate prices. He has not seen that dollar since, and never will till the crack of doom. That dollar will never pay any more school or road taxes for him, ne^er help to build up the town or county, never bless nor brighten the homes of his neighbors. He sent it entirely out of circuit of its usefulness to him.

WORSHIPERS OF BAAL.

Queer Ways of an Extraordinary Sect In Turkey.

The Yezidees, the Baal worshipers or devil worshipers of Turkey, are an extraordinary people, and, although forced by the laws of conscription to serve In the Ottoman army, the seizure of one or more of tlieir young men by a Turkish recruiting party is such a distressing spectacle that once witnessed It can never be forgotten.

Wails and yells of despair are raised. Men, women and girls kiss the recruit's eyes, cheeks, mouth and hands. Throwing themselves on the ground, they even embrace his legs and feet.

The conscript appears quite dazed with sorrow. He folds in his armi and caresses over and over again

weeping kindred, whom he will never see again. He kisses the walls and the hearth of the cabin in which he was born, but which he is about to quit forever, and wets them with his tears, but when, accompanied by his Turkish Jtoptors, he leaves the village the lamentations of the villagers cease.

Then, and as though nothing liad happened, the latter go about their ordinary occupations. Never again is the conscript's name mentioned, and on joining his regiment the young Yezidee becomes a Mussulman. His kindred, believing him accursed, affect to forget him, and were he to approach the village from which he has been forcibly dragged away every Yezidee, even his dearest friends, his father, mother, brothers, sisters and sweetheart, would drive him from their presence with curses and pelt him with stones.

Worth of Principle.

It is indeed a high day in the human story when a great principle reaches Its hour. For ages it may have been working silently along the subterranean channels of the world's life. At times it has for a brief moment shown Itself above the surface, only to be hunted back again with scoff and Insult. But it is already in the blood and will, by and by, mount to the brain's throve. When the appointed time is come the idea creates its man, and the credential of his authority i» the echo of bis word In every soul,

Number of School Children Growing Less Every Year-

The taking: of the annual enumeration of the children of school age, 0 to 21 years, in Hancock county will begin now and the work must be completed before the last day of the month The enumeration is very important as on the result depends the basis of the appropriation from the state school fund for the maintenance of the county schools.

J'ur sorrows will flee if we will but them Wrongs areforfotten if we try to right them The world will know little of sorrow and strife, If we let the sunshine into our life.

The greifs that e'er come to us by repining Are driven away by the sun's bright shining, And happiness takes the place of our sorrow, By looking with hope for each glad to-mor-row And pleasures in this "world will ever abide pathway e'er lies on life's sunny side.

Each year the enumeration bf the school children is taken by the trustees and school boards and the results sent to County Superintendent Richman, who forwards them to the State Superintendent at Indianapolis. |Por the past four years, there has been a decrease in the number of children of school age in Hancock county. Nearly two hundred have been dropped since 1902, which cuts down the appropriation considerably.

Hancock county is shy of children for some reason. In the past four years, the enumerations have been as follows: 1902—5942 4903—,5849 V.:*/ 1904—5889 1905—5782

p!

At this rate of decrease, the figures will show that there are not more than 5,500 school children in Hancock county, ineluding Greenfield.

Mail Order Baby.

A man near this city who patronizes the mail order houses when he has the cash, allows his children to play with the catalogues, One morning the nurse came out and. told them there was a new baby in the house.

Who brought it?" asked the children. The nurse replied that it just came. "Oh, I know," said one little tot, "it's a Soebuck & Rears baby, and I bet it's adulterated just like the pepper and strawberry jam was, and papa will have to keep it because he sent the money in advance."
