WRONG BOARDING HOUSE
Drunken Stranger Mistakes Residence of F. A. Arnold for Indianapolis Hoarding Place and Gets Sore Head.
WENT HIS WAY SADDER. WISER
Sunday night about ten o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Arnold had an exciting experience at their home on east Seminary street. Mrs. Arnold was in the kitchen putting things to rights for the night, when she heard some one trying the back door. She asked what was wanted and met the reply that some one “wanted in.” She ran into the dinning room where Mr. Arnold happened to be and he went at once to the scene of action. By this time the stranger, for such he proved, had found a door that was not locked for the night and pushed into the room. On Mr. Arnold's inquiry as to what he wanted he replied in a threatening manner that he wanted in. Mr. Arnold waited for no more but acted promptly and landed on the stranger's head with the nearest weapon,
which happened to be a broom handle. By this time the house was roused and other members of the family appeared upon the scene. The stranger was completely cowed by the blow, however, and told in a drunken drawl that he thought he was in a boarding house. He did not ".eem inclined to make further trouble and was allowed to depart, after a;, ineffectual effort to get the police. The man was well dressed, and declared he was a representat've of the Khan Tailoring Co. He seemed to think ho was in Inddaanpolis, the heavy load of had whisky he was carrying making a little matter of forty miles a triffling mistake.

Yesterday morning, while following its master, T. J. Kennedy, the milk man, down east Seminary street, 'Fido',” the milk man’s faithful dog was struck by an Interurban car. One of the animal’s fore legs was cut off. Mr. Kennedy took the dog into his wagon and started for Sheriff Maze's resldedence, where he would have the sheriff kill the suffering dog. “Fido,” however, objected to riding and jumped out of the wagon. It followed its master to the Sheriff’s residence, running on its three remaining legs. When Mr. Kennedy arrived at tin* jail Mr. Maze was called and taking a revolver killed the suffering dog.

J. P. D. »Tohn, formerly pn s; 1 *n of DePauw University and now a le hirer, drew comparisons between whims and opinions and convictions, and in so doing won applause from more than l,f>00 men in Englishs’ Opera House at the r nil ir wo'-hly meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association. Mere whin s and opinions wore branded as matter: with short lives, but convictions are destihed, he declared. > survu. > nil the fires with which they come In contact and will live for age.-!. “It was a whim when the Tews called for the crucifixion of Christ," said he, “but when the Savior turned His face toward Calvary and died for man His was a conviction. It was a whim when the head of John the Baptist was called for and brought on a platter, hut it is far better for one to lose his bead and save his conscience than it is to lose his conscience and save his head.” Dr. John went back into biblical and ancient history to a constderabh extent and brought out In ids talk that since the beginning of time whims and convictions had played an important part in many of the world’s greatest historical events. “I would rather Tie outwardly wrong if I thought I was inwardly right, than to be outwardly right If I thought I was Inwardly wrong. I would rather aim at a tiger and shoot a human being than T would aim at a human being and strike a vicious animal,” wore the words which the speaker used in describing the contrast between a whim and a conviction. By actual count there were 1,n21 men in the opera house who cam ' to hear the educator and lecturer deliver his address. At the conclusion he made an appeal t > have -the proper conviction if they wanted the company of God. Special music was furnished at the meeting by the Kiler String Quartet, Miss Olive Kiler and Mrs. I.i na Jackson, violins, and Earl P. Parks and Edwin O. Iglemann viola and cello, respectively. Dr. Frederick E. Taylor, pistor of the First Baptist church, will address the meeting next Sunday on “The Real Story of Jonah.”—Indianapolis Star.

For either they are better than usual, or more sly, or the official representing the majesty of the law less diligent, for the jail Is still empty. No one has been confined there for now these several days. Strange is it may seem, however, there are, almost every night, appllants for admission to tho bastile.
