The fall meeting of the Logansport. Presbytery will be held at the Presbyterian church here next Monday and 'Tuesday. The first session will be held Monday evening, at which time there will be a sermon' by the moderator, Rev. H. B. Hosteter. Tuesday forenoon will be given to business, and at noon dinner will be served at the church, followed by a number of after-din-ner Speeches on • various topics The Presbytery will close Tuesday evening with two addresses —one by Rev. A. B. Smith of Rochester on the C. E. movement, and one on the "Church of Today” by Rev. J. B. Donaldson of Laporte.—Montlcello Herald. A minister’s wife, a doctor’s wife and a traveling man’s wife met one day recently and were talking about the forgetfulness of their husbands. The minister’s wife thought her husband was the most forgetful man living because he would go to church and forget his notes and no one could make out what he was trying to preach about. The doctor’s wife thought her husband was more forgetful still, for he would often start out to see a patient and forget his medicine case and travel nine miles for nothing. “Well,” said the traveling man’s wife, “my husband beats that. He came home the other day and patted me on the cheek and said, ‘Hello, girlie, I believe I’ve seen you before; what is >your name?’ ” —Ex. The Lake County Times, which paper recently came out strong for Taft, says that Attorney Harlan Bixby, the leading Socialist of Hammond has also come out strong for Taft, and that Mr. Bixby will be followed by other Hammond socialists in to the republican party. The same editorial says the Col. Thomas Higginson of Boston, a leading socialist of the east, has declared for Taft. This is as it should be, the socialist was created by republican ] policies, and it is only just that they should serve their creator. And! then no socialist would feel at home in the democrat party anyway. What will be the effect of this news on some local republicans who ,have not been able to find words abusive enough to express themselves against the socialists? They will now have some reason for “cussing.”
