FOR THE OLD PEOPLE

mritEssivE services held at ROBERTS PARK CIILHCII. The Chapel Decorated in an Appro priate Manner At Mndison-Avc-nue Church Other Service. In honor of declining years Roberts Park Church was yesterday decorated with autumn leaves, corn, pumpkins, fruit and other mark of the season for the annual old people's meeting. The decorations were In harmony with the silvery hair, the wrinkled brows, bent forms, pale, drawn faces, but bright and shining countenances of the congregation. The brilliant hue of the leaves, the ripened fruit, the tints of ma turity, were typical of the advanced years of the men and women in the audience grown old in the good cause. Memories of the log-cabin meetings and open-air preaching came back as faces were recognized. The aged and infirm were present, some being wheeled to the chapel in invalid chairs, and others taken in carriages. The younger members of the congregation acted as hosts and the old ones as guests. Easy chairs were provided for the old people, and everything to add to their comfort was brought into use. The services began with class meeting, such as they used to have in pioaeer days, followed by preaching by Dr. C E. Bacon, pastor of the church. His text was, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" He spoke of the influence of the Bible upon men, its teachings and the different con structions placed upon the holy book. He said everything in the past was not good, but the impression of an ideal past deepened the love of men and strengthened their belief. The tendency was to forget the faults and remember the good. Neither did he say all in the present li good, for in modern tinges there is a conception of God different frdm the God of Elijah. In those times, he said, God seemed nearer at hand and within the rays of vision of our forefathers. Our forefathers, he said, were like Elijah. They believed there were but two ways of living, to serve God or follow Baal. Choice should be made between the broad way or the straight and narrow path. In these times, he said, we are apt to be manufacturing other ways of reaching God's kingdom, but the teachings of tie Bible, as conceived by our forefathers, is the safest. He said our forefathers cultivated a religious conviction that is absent to-day; the family altar Is being broken, and altars misleading are being put up for worship, and that there should be more praying for the God of Elijah. He tald he believed such teachings to be the strongest stay of morality. In conclusion, he said, the shortest way to reach God was by direct prayer. AT MADISON-AVENL'E CHURCH. Interesting Services in Honor of the Old Teople. The morning service at the Madison-avenue M. E. Church yesterday was a special service for the old people of the church. The Madison-avenue Church is one of the older churches of the city, now occupying its third structure, and among its members are a number who were early fcettlers and instrumental in the establishment of the early churches and missions. Some of these who were In attendance yesterday morning were the Rev. Thomas C Goodwin, who preached the sermon; Brother Chill, eighty-nine years of age, md a member of Central-avenue M. E. Jhurch; Samuel Benjamin, eighty-six, who as one of the early circuit preachers in southern Illinois; Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, .ach seventy-seven years of age: Andrew I Van Skoik, seventy, and Mr. Hill, seventy. Rev. Mr. Goodwin, in his remarks, which A-ere reminiscent, spoke of the faith of our mcestors and their lives,' which, on account 3f their accomplishments, should be reverenced by new generations and taken as examples instead of being ignored and ield In light esteem. He spoke but a few ninutes, after which all present who deiired were given an opportunity to speak. very now and then some one would start Id-tlme songs, some of which were unfamiliar to the younger persons present. The songs were sung without the accom?animent of the organ, and the meeting esembled the Methodist services of many ears ago. The evening service followed In line of hought the morning service. The pastor, lev. It. H. Moons preached on "The Debt ue to the Past." Following is a portion jf his sermon "We live in a great 'age the greatest ige of the world s history. The reason or this is that we are not smarter or etter than our fathers, but because of tho d vantages afforded by their sacrifices an! ndustry. The institutions of our age, of .vhlch we are so prone to boast, are not f this generation. This Is the age of the team engine, but the essential points of he steam engine were invented in past ges. We call this the electric age. Free.ian, More and Field, who gave the orld the initial ideas of electricity, all " elong to a past age. We -last of our hurch, but the martyrs, refui.ners, great jglclans, orators and preachers who have i.ade the church what It Is belong to a ast age. "In view cf these facts we owe a debt o the past, upon the payment of which .epends our success. The man who revernces the past will respect the foundations vhlch have been laid. He who has no aspect for the past will destroy the ancient bundations, in the belief that he can lay etter ones. Such men leave behind noth.ig but debris and rubbish. Social anarhists would destroy religion and civil govrnment and the home, and would not re- ' ly a single stone for a new social system, teligious critics would undermine the founlatlon laid for us In the Bible and the reeds of the church, and these men are he ones who destroy the foundation upon ;hlch they themselves stand. "How can we pay the debt we owe to the asl? Not by worshiping our ancestors, vncestry worship paralyzes civilization, as s Illustrated In the civilization of China o-day. Our heritage is the wheel and our luty Is to keep it moving. Our fathers ave us the example of improving upon xisting conditions. In order to honor our ncestors we should follow their example nd Improve our conditions. In doing this ve must be true to the ideals of our fathrs. There are certain general principles -and some of these have been established or ages and our success will depend upon ur being true to these principles, There re many persons who think the world 4 out of joint. They see nothing but disster In view. Once in a while an astronomer discovers a comet coming directly tovard the earth. He cries out that the earth s to be destroyed by this comet, but the mash-up never comes. He forgets that he same God who has His hand on the un, moon and fctars, and has kept thorn n place throughout the ages, also has lis hand on this strange visitor. Whenver some new social contingency arise, ome people think disaster must rollow" ?ut they forget that God has the universal aw and order of things in His hand. It s best for us to be true to these principles ind ideals of ages. But ve should give letter expression to these ideals than has ver before been given. The experience lerived from the past should enable us o establish better social systems, better aws and better churches. The ycung peole of to-day should be stronger, wiser, md better, because of the foundations laid y their fathers. The young man who repects the past, who has faith in the founlatlons laid for him, and who wisely builds ipon them will pay the debt he owes to the Vast, and his life will be a success." CUOOSIXG OF COMPANIONS. la Interesting Sermon lty Dr. Haines at rirst Presbyterian. The sermon delivered by the Rev. M. L. '.lalnes, of the First Presbyterian Church, last night wes on of the mot Interest lng sermons heard from that pulpit for jjome time. The attendanco was not large, due no doubt to the threatened rain. Dr, Haines's subject was "The Choice of Companlons," and he Haid in part: "The choice of companion Is on of tho r.ost important of llf. The U'.ble has uiuwh to say about this. In Proverbs l

verse 2 we find, 'He that walketh with wtee men bhall be wise, but the companion of fools shall be destroyed.' The book of Prove: bs is full of good things, and this is one of them. "Wo think too little in our modern hurry of life of the companionships of life; their value and their effect upon us for good or for evil. Not a few make the great mistake of practically shutting out their lives to all but their own household, and have only room and time for acquaintances; no room or time to make friends and cultivate friendships. I remember a business man, whom many of ycu know, who upon his deathbed said to me, I have not taken time to live. I have not taken the time I should for my friends.' He realized his mistake. He had been almost altogether absorbed In business activity, giving no time to the cultivation of friends. "The desire for friendship Is divinely planted. It Is one of our most helpful instincts. Instinctively we go in flocks. Solitude has, however, its part in every true life. "The influence we exert upon our companions and the reflex influence upon ourFelves are great factors which we are bound to think about if we would have true thoughts as to the lives we are leading. On the business side a man's friends and companions are great factors in his life and go far in determining his success In life. In business adversity a man's friends and the character of the companions he has had do much in carrying him over the business stress. A man, however, must have shown himself worthy of the assistance of friends. "The three chief Influences that shape character are home, literature or reading I started to say books, but on second thought I realized the influence of magagir.es and newspapers, which nowadays constitute a great part of the reading of the people and companions. "A young man leaves his home and comes to a city like this to enter school, college or business. If It was a good home he bring3 with him the influence of that home. When tempted to do wrong he thinks 'this would iain mother,' or 'would give father a heartache,' And while away from home the chief Influence In his life will be his companions. "I do not think much of that foolish evasion, 'led astray by bad companions. I am not saying the companions are not sharers in the guilt, but those who claim to be led astray are also even In a greater degree, I think, sharers in the guilt. A man follows his inclinations, and if he is not inclined to follow those things which are not good he will avoid those companionships which would lead him into buch things. "There is a difference between associates and companions. We are sometimes com

pelled to associate In busine?: wltn those whom w,e would not make our companions. These associates do not mold us as we are not in perfect sympathy with them. Men should choose their companions with eyes open. Companion means 'copy, consciously or unconsciously. Man becomes in a degree a part of all that which he looks upon sympathetically. Ingersoll tald he would make good contagious as well as evil. Good, to a certain degree. Is contagious. Good friendship is worth all it costs. A man who has friend must show himself to be friendly. He that repeateth separatetk friends. A blab is unworthy of friendship. There is no friendship without mutual trust and mutual confidence, but in the best and truest friendships there is a great deal left unsaid. "Bacon once went so far as to say there was little friendship between equals and the best friendships were those between those apart and unequal. True friendships and companionships are not always between those of nearly equal ages. The fact is that some of the most helpful friendships and comradeships are between persons of marked difference in years between a mother and daughter, between a father and son, between an elderly woman and a young man. The friendship of an elderly person is often a great blessing to a young man. It is a good thing to have the friendship of persons older than ourselves. Older ones often crave such friendships. They supplement each other. Munger says the influence nearest omnipotence upon a young man is that of noble, refined and intelligent woman, one who may not become his wife, but one older, so that romance Is out of the question. "Happy is the young man, happy is the young woman, who carries himself or herself in relationship with others so as to win the esteem, honor and friendly affection of larger Joy and inspiration in life." THE IMPERISHABLE IDEAL. Sermon nt Plymouth Church by Rev. II. C. Meserve. At Plymouth Church yesterday morning the Rev. II. C. Meserve took for his sub ject "The Imperishable Ideal." His text was, "Even the spirit of truth." John xlv, 17. In part he said: "The Master Teacher in a few pregnant sentences is. summing up the work of His life. Words of counsel, of admonition, of inspiration, of encouragement, of love, are spoken under the very shadow of the cross and the pathetic fig ures or the timid disciples. As the rough, unhewn stone of the miarry is torn from Its place by the blast, and after long days under the hammer and chisel of the expert only assumes its proper form of usefulness, so the Master must needs take these men who had been removed from their environment and train them for service. But again, as the stone cut to be a part in some grand building must be fitted to Its place and realize its importance not only by itself, but in connection with the other stones of the building, so the men who sat at Jesus' feet needed not only His words but the contact with men which time and isolation alone could give. Up to this point In their lives they had lived under the inspiration of a living ideal which overshadowed them but which also protected them. The strong words of the Master's proclamation were like wine to their poor lives, but could they, alone and helpless against the world, preach these words so that men might hear and heed? Righteousness Is not of the church or of the state, said He, It is of God and the law of all men. Could they elaborate thl3 truth till men threw aside their own caprices for the reign of love? Love is king. He said. Could they so live the life of love with all its sacrifices of self and all Its spending for others that men would accept and follow this gentlest of Influences yet most mighty? Goodness is not mere complalsancy toward others or right conduct of one's self; it is Godness. Likeness to the divine life. Could they bring such an Interpretation to men and win them to such an allegiance? "But If we look again, we see that the ideal is not so far away from our thought after all. It has to do with the commonest relations of our lives. It Is the expression of truth, of beauty, of goodness. Truth to Jesus covered not merely the intellectual function of the man. It had to do with his whole life. It was honesty of living and honesty of outlook, too. It was not the accumulation of the ages passed upon by the courts of the centuries or the tribunals of the church and pronounced by the biased opinions of prejudices too strong to be elminated by human art to be true. It was not the 'will-o'-the-wisp' which sailed over the marshes of man's darkened hopes, but it was the fair sun of an eternal purpose which the cloud might dim but could not wholly obscure, which the centuries might endure but could not dissipate. It was not tradition in any form It was truth. "The beauty of the. imperishable ideal was not physical or psychical, but both and more. It did not post itself in Greek art or nature's garb, but expressing itself through both, and all that both stand for found Its home in the soul of man. The divine wherein man comes close to divinity. God or goodness expresses what truth and beauty have absorbed." AT SECOND PRESBYTERIAN. The Evening; Sermon of the Rev. Jonepu A. Mulbnrn. Dr. Joseph A. Milburn, of the Second Presbyterian Church, last night used for his text, "Be still and know that I am God." He began by showing how we proceed by a succession of thought each day, the new ideas that arise are changing of mind, and then said that behind all this thinking Is the thought of God. Man may be absorbed in his vocation in Industrial life, or deeply concerned about the welfare of his family, but above all this runs the thought of God. Above the Interest of everyday life comes the consciousness of Supreme Being. He said all great nations that have figured In hlstor" were guided by the Influence of God, and that all great men who had become leaders and have been successful, were believers, and had the thought of God uppermost in their minds. "There Is a unity in life," said the doctor, "and every mite has its Influence. Are the principles of that unity the ideal? Not at all. Nature yearns for a solution of tho ideal, but our ideals continue changing. The Influence, then, does not He in

the ideal. Does it lie, then, within the w.l? Is that mysterious something, the will that makes men strong? No. Our wills are continually breaking down, so it cannot be the will. What is it then? It Is the thought of God." Continuing, the doctor alluded to the industrial problems, and said that arbitration in itself is not the solution of the problem. "The solution Is self-sacrifice," he said, "and self-sacrifice Is the will of God for you and me. No matter what our own inclination In war may be, no matter how urgent our wars may be. It Is the will of God that Justice lies In this sacrifice of man. All freedom must be made subordinate to this will, the will of self-sacrifice In the Industrial world. Arbitration Is a great mistake. It cannot settle the great sea of discontent, no matter how imposing our armies. The spirit of self-sacrifice must predominate. When the laborer and employer learn to say that "I will sacrifice my interests,' when the master and servant yearn to make self-sacrifices, then the reign over Industry will be benefit and peace. Only in one way can man find this spirit, as Jesus has said. "We must give up our longings and things we desire. Sometimes it seems very, very hard, but we must concede. There is very little gratitude in this world: and this, perhaps, makes it seem the harder. Men who have lived lives of Lelf-sacri-fice have suffered indignities, have been scoffed, and were rewarded with a crown of thorns. It seems a poor compensation lor self-sacrifice. The recompense to the man who is sweating blood Is the joy of thorns. Where are the beauties of selfsacrifice? It all comes through the working out of God s will thoughts of God." DU. W. A. QCAYLE'S SERMON.

He Discourses on the Fonr Elements of Hainan Life. - Dr. W. A. Quale spoke to a congregation that filled tho Meridian-street Church last night. His subject was "The Four Factors of Destiny." He spoke of the great men of to-day and the great men who lived centuries ago. "What are the premises in the argument of learning?" he asked. "I have sometimes wished I were an attorney, so that I could wrangle with other lawyers. I have sometimes gone so far as to wish I were a political speaker, so that I could 'sass a crowd. If you are a Republican it won't hurt you to hear Bryan, Cockran. Stevenson and other followers of Democracy, for after you listen to their arguments you would be more of a Republican. If you are a Democrat It won't hurt you to listen to Beveridge, Roosevelt, Dolllver and other Republican speakers, for they won't change your faith, and you will be as deep sot' as ever. I would go every night to hear a political speaker If the opportunity afforded. "I would have liked to have heard the ancient speakers, to have heard Caesar and Cicero, and also to have heard the latterday speakers. But to-night I am going to talk to you about tho debate of human life, of how life achieved worth. There are four premises of the world the physical, spiritual, yourself and God. These forces are known to constitute the world. We are in a physical world. We must drink, eat and toll to live. This physical world Is an ally, not an enemy. Some people like some things that others do not, but you should have the things you like. You should find out what you want and should eat those things. Some people eat oatmeal, as it is thought that food made the Scotch noble and great, but it was not that food, it was God. You cannot build up a great personality with what you put in your stomach. Persimmons might pucker some people and sugar might sweeten others, but you should be sweet and amiable all the time without the aid of sugar. You must also toil for what you get. The average man would die of sheer laziness if God didn't provide that he had to work." To have ftod we must raise it; to have houses w must build them; we must create cities md populate the cities to have a continent. The American people are the best-housed people on the face of the earth. The physical world is a stimulant tonic of a progressive world. "The second factor Is the other people we meet. It is the premises of other people in relationship to us. There is not a man or woman who has not had arguments in their lives not touched by other persons. As a child you had your playmates and schoolmates, some whom you liked and others you disliked. You had your teachers who were your idols and others you fairly hated, but all played parts in your life. "The major premises of human life are yourself and God. I believe in preaching the absolute freedom of the human soul. The soul belongs to the man himself on this side and to God on the other. The great need. of the human soul is to feel yourself free. You have a fine chance In lifo and you can make yourself anything you choose. Don't be brow-beaten. There are circumstances and chances that enter into every person's life. Play the man and you cannot be ruined unless you are a party to it yourself. God will not ruin you. Don't talk about there not being any chances for you, but go out and dig some up. Learn that you have potency, that you are greater than destiny. Self has Its best chances and everybody has an equal chance. "God is the last factor. God and you can do everything there is to be done. God and you can conspire together so that you will lead a wholesome life. If you are religious don't act a fool about It. Carry on your religion in a good, blessed way. Destiny is that state of life Into which you and God and the other folks can be inspired to bring you. Frame your own destiny and be your own carpenter In the making of it. Get your life into God's life and God's life into your own life at once." Service for Denf Mates. The Rev. Austin W. Mann, general missionary, will hold a service for the deaf mutes of Indianapolis to-morrow at 7:30 p. m. In the chapel of St. Paul's Church, on Illinois street.

Oct, 21. The Foraker meeting here Saturday night was the greatest political gathering of the cam paign. Five thousand people heard the distinguished Ohloan's eloquent 'speech, lasting over an hour. Senator Foraker spoke from a stand in the courthouse yard. He was in good voice, and his eloquent plea for Republican principles 'was fre quently interrupted by outbursts of applause. The speech was one of the best of the campaign, and the people of Rushvllle are elated over Senator Foraker's yisit. Secretary of State Union B. Hunt and State Treasurer Levy were present and addressed the multitude. Fairbanks and Povrell Spoke. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 21. Columbus has had great night political demonstrations before, but that of last night eclipsed them all, the occasion being the appearance of Senator Charles W. Fairbanks and Nathan Powell. The parade was the largest and most enthusiastic of the present campaign. Long before the parade was over the City Hall was crowded to suffocation, and when the speakers appeared the applause was deafening. Both Senator Fairbanks and Mr. Powell made speeches and both were received with vehement demonstrations. This was Mr. Powell's first appearance here and he created a most favorable Impression. EIGHTH DISTRICT. Gov. Monnt Han Just FJiiifthed nn Ef fective Cauiiiaign Therein. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER. Ind.. OcL 21.-Governor Mount has just completed a remarkably effective campaign in the Eighth district, speaking at Decatur, Osslan, Montpeller, Pennvllle,, Portland, Albany, Carlos City and Winchester. He was everywhere greeted by large crowds of people and his speeches were vote winners. The Pennvllle meeting was one of the most successful meetings ever held in Jay county, and thou sands of farmers flocked in to hear the Governor. Possessing as he does the unbounded confidence of the farmers of our State his speeches carry conviction to his audience, and the reports from the Pennvllle meeting indicate that many a farmer who attended the meeting undecided left fully convinced that his interests would best be conserved by the re-election of McKinley. The Montpeller meeting was attended by hundreds of laboring men from that place and a large delegation from Hartford City who remember that Indiana's Governor is one of the best and truest friends the worklngman ever had, and who do not forcet that when the strike was on among the coal miners of Indiana Governor Mount sent them bread Instead of bullets. and under his wise administration over one hundred labor troubles were peacefully settled and strikes averted. The Randolph county meetings were attended by many Populists and free silver Republicans who voted for Governor Mount in 1816 and whose confidence he possesses in a larger degree than any other man In public life. "But one report," said Mr. Goodrich, "comes to me from .all the meetings In the district, and that is that they were successful In every particular and their influence for the welfare of the party hard to estimate. Governor Mount has earned the gratitude of the Republicans of eastern Indiana by the great work he has done for them, and when he is succeeded by Governor Durbin, as he will be in January, and retires to the quiet of his beautiful farm at Shannondale it will be with the fullest respect of the citizens of Indiana in every walk of life regardless of their political affiliations." STILL ANOTHER DEMOCRAT. W. E. Thompaou, of Anderson, Has Declared for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Oct. 21.-The Democrats of Anderson received a hard jolt yesterday from W. E. Thompson, one of the leading builders and contractors of the State. Mr. Thompson erected the new buildings at Bloomington for the State University and is now completing two business blocks in Milan. He has been a lifelong Democrat and is known as a levelheaded business man, whose opinions are sought and depended upon. He has come cut publicly for McKinley and against Bryan. The local Democrats doubted early rumors to that effect, and all controversy was set at rest by the following letter, v.'hlch appeared this morning in the Herald of this city: "Dear Sir: In answer to your Inquiry permit me to say I am and always have been a straight Democrat. By his sensational and wild policies and speeches William Jennings Bryan has In four year. risen from a poor man to the wealthiest man, according to the tax duplicate, in Lincoln. Neb. I do not blame him for his requisition of wealth by these sensational speeches, but I do consider he would be a dangerous man to place at the head of this &reat Nation, and for that reason I will vote for William McKinley, and believe it is the duty of all Democrats who are loyal to the best Interests of our country to do the same. W. E. THOMPSON." "WELSHMEN MADE CITIZENS. Tln-Plnte "Workers Will Cast Their First Votes for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 21. An Interesting event occurred in Anderson last evening when Judge J. F. McClure, of the Cir cuit Court, presided at the ceremony of making American citizens and voters of one hundred Welshmen, who are employed in the tin-plate mills of Madison county. It was of especial Interest, because It was but a few years ago that the Democrats cf Anderson and the organ of their party here denounced the proposition of William McKinley to build up the tin-plate industry in America. The Democrats said tin plate could not be made here, and when it wai urged that tin-plate workers from Europe would remove to America and transfer their allegiance to this country, declared they would never do so. The largest tinplate plant in the world is in operation in Madison county, and hundreds of the best sons of Wales have come here and are now rejoicing in the freedom of America. The men naturalized yesterday were a fine body of sturdy yeomanry, and were rever as happy as when through with the legal steps required to make them citizens. They all praise McKinley and his admlnls? tratlon and will support with their votes on Nov. 6 the man who made It possible for them to become contented and wellpaid American workmen. OTHER MEETINGS.

Clawson, of Indianapolis, was the orator at a large and spirited Republican meeting here last evening. The hall was'packed with enthusiastic voters and the meeting was one of the most satisfactory of tho campaign.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) subject of State Department officials was made known in press dispatches yesterday, the document giving very general satisfaction and being recognized as in line with the attitude of the United States toward China as already defined by Secretary Hay and by other great powersNo News from Conger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Nothing came to the State Department to-day from Minister Conger in regard to the proposed preliminary meeting for the consideration of peace negotiations asked for by Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching for Oct. 20. The presumption of the officials therefore is that the press dispatches announcing that it had been postponed are correct. This postponement was due probably to the unreadiness of the powers generally to begin negotiations, the ministers in all likelihood not having received their final preliminary instructions from their governments for their guidance. The United States minister, Mr. Conger, is prepared to proceed with the preliminary work, his instructions being ample to cover nil questions which it is expected will be raised at the beginning. As it is understood here the initial meeting will relate mainly to the verification of the credentials of the Chinese plenipotentiaries. Both LI Hung Chang and Prince Ching are In Peking, but the two great southern viceroys are supposed to be still In their own provinces. Conferences with them by the Chinese now in Peking will be largely by telegraph. Following the verification of credentials will come the designation of plenipotentiaries by this government to conduct the formal negotiations, but as to their personnel the officials here are not yet willing to make any statement. OFFICIAL EXPLANATION. Reasons for De Giersfs Return to Peking? Are Blade Plain. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 21.

One of the men of Michigan whose credit ! gilt-edged over a large part of the country, man led young and started In with a very limited supply of this world's goods. The struggle began in a little Hocsler town, and among the things necessary was to obtain credit at a grocery. The young man put on a bold front and went to negotiate. . "I'm a stranger here," he began, "but I propose to stay if I have to hang on by my eyebrows. I've got to live, and to live I've got to eat. Will you trust me?" As perverse fate would have it. the man thus approached was a Junior member of the firm and a great practical Joker. "I'll tell you," he said. "I have a partner. He can tell more bad stories than any other man In Indiana. I mean that they are no good to start with, and he has told them so often and tells them so poorly that I'm trying to cure hlrh. If you'll come around this evening 111 get him wound up and when he's In the middle of the second one, go to sleep on him. If you'll do that you can have a nice line of credit with us." The engagement was kept. The senior party started ofi on slight provocation and was delivering the second chestnut when the head of the man, who wanted to be trusted, slowly settled on his chest, his eyes cloed and he began a heavy breathing. The old man was so mad that he jumped up and down, cracked his heels together and was bound to lay violent hjnds on the sleeper. For three weeks the Junior member slipped things out the back way in order to keep his word, and the senior had a green beech club "waltln' fur that durned cuss from Michigan." But a truce was finally patched up, and the now-pros perous man wno slept to get trusted, savs: "You ought to see the dinner I put up for that junior man wnen he was in Detroit a couple of years ago." fly Their Marks Ye Shall Know Them.
