HUNTING HIS HOME

When Pete kissed his wife goodby In the morning bis little frame houso rested on rollers. The house mover’s gang was hltchlug clanking chains to the heavy square timbers, and tho brown horse, with a dejected droop to his long' head, was ready to clrclo aroiltid the capstan And haul Pete’s cottage Into the street. “Don’t you worry a bit, Mary,” said Pete as he picked up his dinner pall. “The Louse mover told me that not an Inch of plaster would fall. So long. I’ll pick you up six blocks south tonight.” “Sure thing,” replied the house mover to Tete’s inquiry. “This is a dead easy job. You’ll Add your house ic the middle of the street six blocks down there tonight and your wife and kids all O. K.” Pete was an Iron molder, and the foundry where he worked was a good hour’s walk from home. He went to his bench iu a cheerful mood. The elevated railroad company had paid him a good, stiff price for his lot and had offered to move bis house free of expense to him. Pete took the money and- bought a lot cheap in a new street, half a mile nearer the foundry, two blocks from a school and with a church just around the corner. Taking It all in all, Pete considered he had made a good'bargahi. During the day Tete’s thoughts were on the little white cottage, with its clean muslin sash and light green shutters, slowly traveling down the street. He could almost see Mary anxiously noting progress through the windows and the children, wild with the novelty, racing and tearing around. Every molder on the floor knew that Pete’s house was on the move. They discussed the matter while grouped around the cupola waiting for the iron to run. They were full of suggestions, and Tote received the l>enefit of the concentrated advice of fifty sympathetic men. The foreman once had passed through the house moving experience, and as he was the foreman and aa his house was a two story brick his advlee was regarded as weighty and his suggestions treasured as words of great value.

After Pete had filled and emptied his ladle a dozen times and had washed op he started merrily to find his home. When he arrived at the corner where he expected to meet his cottage none appeared. Pete looked north and south through the dusk, but as far as he could see the street was clear. A policeman happened aloug. “Say, officer,” exclaimed Pete, “have you seen a one story white frame cottage go by here today ?” The policeman stared at Pete for a second, then replied gruffly, “What er you glvin’ me?” “That’s straight,” skid Pete, with energy. “They’re moving my house. It ought to be here, but it ain’t.” The policeman grew sympathetic at once. “I’ve seen no house movin’, but there’s some red lights over there two blocks. Mebbe it’s your house.” , Pete hurried for the red lights. It was a house perched on rollers in the middle of the street, but it was uot his house. He clambered over timbers, chains and skids to the front door, for the steps had beeu amputated. A woman with a band lamp answered the knock. “Have you Seen a one story frame cottage, white, with green shutters, and a little woman with brown hair go by this way today?” asked Pete hurriedly. The woman shook her head. “No,” said she. “We’re movin’ too. My man hasn't got home yet either. Maybe lie's huntin’ for me too.” And she giggled hysterically. Pete gave her no comfort, but sprang to the ground. Near the house was a grocery, and there Peter inquired for his house. No one had Sjpen it.

‘Tshnw!” said Pete. “It’s a light house, and those house movers have got It iu on the lot.” He almost ran to the new site and found it vacant. He had spent an hour searching for the white "Cottage and Mary. He had asked fifty persons If they had seen a white one story cottage on a tour, and now he seated himself on the edge of the sidewalk In front of the new lot he had bought and tried to pull himself together. He could uot understand it. He could think of no other path over which the house might travel. Suddenly a new Idea struck him. “The fire department has made them pnll the house into a vacant lot so as not to block the street. I*l* start from the beginning, and 1M don’t find It tonight I’ll sleep in the wood shed. They haven’t moved that anyway. Only Mary will be worried.” In a quarter of an hour he was on the old familiar sidewalk. As he hurried along he closely examined every house on both sides of the street. Absorbed In this, he forgot his whereabouts, and he choked and gulped In surprise when he suddenly looked into the windows of his own white cottage and saw-Mary with her nose flattened against the glass, watching for him. The house had not been moved a foot. "Something broke,” explained Mary, helping Pete to a heaping plateful of liver and bacon, “and the man will be back tomorrow.”

Most Useful Invention.

A French newspaper recently held a public ballot to decide the question which was the ino3t useful of the modern discoveries, and the locomotive Ved the list, with others following in this order: Potatoes, vaccine, enre of hydrophobia, sugar, telegraph, matches, steam boiler, telephone, petroleum, sewing machine aud soap. The development of electricity seems to have been overlooked.

TRYING TO USE THE SCHOOLS

The Brazen Act of Btate Superintendent Cotton. Fasett A. Cotton, who Is finishing hls second term as state superintendent of public Instruction, and who haß been all the time the consistent and persistent friend of the school book trust, has further shown his unfitness for the office he holds by trying to make the public schools an adjunct of the Republican party. The Democratic party stands for local option by townships and wards; the Republican party for local option by counties. The people were preparing to express themselves upon the question at the election. Hanly called his special session of the legislature and asked it to take the matter out of the people’s hands and decide the question in favor of the Republicans. Then Cotton got into the game. In hls official capacity he sent a letter to all of the school superintendents and asked them to get the 17,000 public school teachers to get into politics on the Republican side. Here is Cotton’s letter:

“To County and City Superintendents: “Gentlemen —As you know, the Indiana state legislature has convened In extraordinary session to enact certain much-needed laws. The one most vital important measure, and which overshadows everything else, is that concerning county local option. This question closely concerns public schools and public morals, and is, therefore, much higher than mere partisanship. It Is fining that the superintendents and teachers in the public schools throughout the state take some concerted action to show their Interest in thiß proposed measure. lam asking all of the county and city superintendents of the state to circulate petitions among their teachers, addressed to Senator Mattingly and Representative Babcock of the legislature, urging the enactment of this bill. Your earnest and speedy co-operation in this matter may help to enact into law- this very Important measure. Please act at once; the petitions must be in early 'this week if they accomplish the desired result.” This Is the most brazen attempt that has ever been made, so far as is now recalled, to use the public schools for partisan purposes. Cotton Is none too good to do such a thing on his own initiative, but he may have acted in this instance under the instructions of Governor Hanly. A man who will take pay from v the public school fund, as Hanly did, for making an address to school children, would not hesitate to use the public schools for a partisan purpose.

Is it not time that the people should get rid of men of this class and fill the public offices with men who have a decent conception of their duties?

BRYAN IN CINCINNATI.

Twelve years ago William Jenningc Bryan, as the Democratic candidate for president, drew 50,000 people to Music Hall, the record-breaking crowd in the history of Cincinnati. Last night the same man, with a seemingly more magnetic influence, attracted such a mighty multitude to see and hear him that the very lowest estimate was 75,000. It was such a mass of humanity that movement for two blocks was impossible. Never in its long and glorious career has Music. Hall held so many people. They hung in the windows and on the balconies in perilous positions. Men and women vied with each other in taking chances to welcome the Commoner to the home of his Republican opponent. Accustomed as he is to seeing great crowds, Mr. Bryan himself was amazed and thought that he saw in the demonstration a mighty wave which would sweep this Republican city into the Democratic column.—Cincinnati Enquirer, news article. . Mr. Bryan’s trip through Ohio yesterday was a continuous ovation. His entrance into Cincinnati last night was a veritable triumph. Not even in the exciting days of 1896 wxs the Nebraskan accorded such overwhelming evidence of popular interest In himself and bis utterances.

That there should have been manl tested such tremendous enthusiasm for him in the home town of Mr. Taft has excited greatest wonder. There can be only this explanation. Either Mr. Bryan still exerts that magnetism of presence and voice which alone charm the multitude, or else he has grown so greatly in the esteem of the public by his more recent utterances that the thousands would attest their devotion and loyalty to the cause he represents by their presence and plaudits. The story can be told only In November. Whatever be the cause or reason for Mr. Bryan’s magnificent reception here ahd elsewhere, it Is apparent that the enormous crowds that go to greet him are causing no little concern and uneasiness in the camp of the enemy.—Cincinnati Enquirer, editorial.

MUTE EVIDENCE OF GREED

These pictures are actual photographs taken of the front and back of the original check Issued to J. Frank Hanly to pay him for addressing the graduating class of the Manual Training School, at Indianapolis, on June 8. They constitute mute evidence of the character of the man who received the money. The subject of the address was “Dreams That Come True,” and the speaker told the boys and girls that the dreams whioh come true are those born of desire. Any comment upon the smallness and greed shown in the acceptance of this check by the man whom the people of Indiana honored by elevating him to the position of Governor of the state, would be superfluous. Many men in private life, including John W. Kern and other citizens of Indianapolis, have gladly given their services for this purpose, to the same Manual Training School, without a thought of compensation. In truth, there is no precedent for this incident in the history of Indiana, and It is doubtful If one could be found anywhere in the history of any state In the Union.
