The city council of Elkhart has refused to permit the use of the streets for carnival purposes. Good for Elkhart. A signal victory for the people was the nomination of Tom L. Johnson for governor of Ohio at the democratic state convention Wednesday. The convention also endorsed the last national or Kansas City platform. Carroll county townships have voted against paying a subsidy to the proposed electric traction company. In this the townships have acted wisely. There is no reason why the people should contribute to the profit of what is jußt now the most popular game of speculation in existence. Where these lines are successfully handled their reports show that they are profitable enough to pay for their own building in a comparatively short time. Of course the promoters will get subsidies if they can, but the traction line that is worth- building will never lack backers, and the traction line that is not worth building had better not be built at the expense of the people.—lndianapolis News.

Commenting on the temperance wave that is now sweeping over Indiana the Greenfield Republican says: The saloon men over the state are now much worried by the great and successful temperance fight now going on against them, which during the past year has closed more than 800 saloons in Indiana alone. When the saloons have been running wide open after hours and on Sundays with gambling and prostitution in connection, they have concluded in some places to shut down on the the most obnoxious things until the excitement dies down. They have not changed their dispositions or desires to run these unlawful or demoralizing places, but simply want to lay low so as to get another chance later on. The people however are not to be fooled, they know that a city, a town and a township is better off where whisky and beer are not sold, hence they propose to close licensed saloons and then if any unlicensed saloons or blind tigers start they will do business with them,

Indianapolis Sentinel: Mr. Simms, while here today, said that he expects to retire from the state committee when his present term expires. “My business affairs," said he, “are such that I can hardly devote the necessary time to the work and besides there are many other men in the district who would fill the place better than I can. I would suggest, for instance, . Lem Darrow o f Laporte, John B. Fanlk*er of Michigan City, Ed Hottan of Rensselaer, Joseph Ibacb of Hammond or W. B. Durbnrro.v of Williamsport. Ail of r these are hustlers and would make ‘ competent chairmen and there are

dozens of others whom I do not now oall to mind. In faot there is not a county in the district but has some wide-awake democrat who could fill the place very acceptably.” Mr. Simms thinks that if the Indiana democratic leaders will make a determined and united effort they oan secure next year’s democratic national convention for Indianapolis. “I base that belief to a considerable extent on the political expediency of holding the convention in Indiana,” he said: “Indiana is a state to be reckoned with in the next campagin and there is no doubt that a national convention arouses enthusiasm in the community in which it is held that does not wane until after election day. The holding of the convention in Indianapolis would be worth a good many votes to the democratic party. Of course it cannot be here unless the collisuem is built.

Every legitimate theater In Neif York has two pay day*—anion and nonunion. The union employee*, which include the men in orchestra, the stage hands, property men and stage carpenters, are paid, aa their union regulations demand, on Satniday night The actors, who have no union, are not paid until Tuesday, although their week ends on Saturday with the night'* performance. Their salaries are held up two d-'vs merely to insure their reappear;.!.<o at the theater on Monday. If the company were paid off on Saturday night unreliable or disaffected members of the organization might not show up on Monday for rehearsal or the evening performance, thus weakening the production, but If the week’s salary Is held back they are reasonably sure to report on Monday in order not to lose wbat Is coming to them. Actors are distinctly temperamental and capricious, and If a manager were to pay off on Saturday night and there existed any temporary dissatisfaction In the company he could never tell whether he would have a chorus with which to open up the week on Monday evening.—New York Press.

About a century ago an artist named Cranch was standing one day In front of a fire in his borne at Axmlnster. Over the fireplace was an oaken mantelpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that this expanse of wood might be improved by a little ornamentation. He picked np the poker, heated it red hot and began to sketch in a bold design. The result pleased him so much that he elaborated his work and began to attempt other fire pictures on panels of wood. These met with a ready sale, and Cranch soon gave all -his time to his new art This was the beginning of what Is now known as pyrography. The poker artist of today uses many different shaped tools and has a special furnace In which they are kept heated. The art has been elaborated greatly. The knots, curls and fibers of the wood are often worked Into the design and delicate tinting produced by scorching the panel.

One part horse sense and two parts of manly determination to keep stilL Mix well with an unlimited amount of the best quality of thought. It Is impossible for a woman to talk all the time without saying a lot of things that she shouldn’t or without proving a Jolly bore to everybody about her. This tattling habit is not confined entirely to women, though. Some men have the affliction terribly. Sometimes it’s wheat, sometimes it's chess, sometimes it’s baseball. A steady diet of one kind conversation is always tiresome. Take a nibble of this and a nibble of that, and yout chatter will be more interesting, particularly If there are plenty of rests between nibbles. Talking improves when there’s silence by way of contrast—Philadelphia Inquirer.

There is a colony of Syrian merchants in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who could give cards and spades even to the bland Chinaman "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." They take one match out of every box they sell until they have enough matches to fill another box and so make an extra cent They shave tiny flakes oft cakes of soap and boll them down to make other cakes. They put a thin layer of molasses on the bottom of the scoop with which they serve rice so that a few grains will stick to the bottom. These are only a few of their thousand tricks to turn a dishonest penny. Without doubt they arc the meanest traders in the world.

If a flowerpot is laid on Its side the stalk of the plant growing in it gradually curves upward until it resumes the vertical position. This is called geotropic curvature, and the question is by what means the plant is stimulated to change its direction of growth. One theory avers that movable starch grains in the plant cells fail to the lower side as the position is changed and by their pressure influence the mechanism of growth.

Breechloading in artillery and small arms is popularly supposed to be an invention of the middle of last century, bat such is by no means tbe case. In a Dublin gunsmith’s ‘shop at Cork Hill is on view a breechloading rifle offered to the British war office at the close of the eighteenth century and rejected, ns it was considered to need too much ammunition!

“I beard Kronnick remark that he never had such luck in his business as he's having now, but I didu’t catch whether it was good luck or bad.” “Oh, he meant bad luck, of course. If it were good luck he wouldn’t speak of it as luck at all.”—Philadelphia Press.

Southern Fruit and Vegetable Growing. The fertile lands along the Louisville & Nashville R. R. in Alabama. West Florida and Mississippi are veritable bonanzas for the fruit gTower and truck gardner. One man sold from one single acre, too barrels of radishes for $900.00, gross; another patch of 4 acres radishes yielded $(,463.00 net. In the spring of 1902, another truck gardner sold 300 barrels of potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres of ground for $1,548, and after paying all expenses, cleared $892.00, or 5297.32 per acre. Within two weeks after selling his potatoes, com was up and watermelon vines were running on the same land. He harvested his corn, sold his melons, and afterwards cut two m crops of hay off of the same land; and on January 20, 1903, was planting it again in potatoes. Strawberries yield from S3OO 00 to $550.00 per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts of luscious berries have been grown on a single acre. Address G. A. PARK.
