“FOLLOW THE WISE FEW RATHER THAN THE FOOLISH MANY” A very small percentage of hum anlty know the need to care for real teeth until some friend or other source suggests advice that is accepted and acted upon. It only requires a little effort to be one of these few, and you will have a possession that many would-give a fortune to own. The first step to follow these few is a careful examination of your teeth. What should be done and what should not be done, is a matter of Importance that a dentist with long experience can best decide. What my patients tell their neighbors, brings people to my office to ask for an examination. Yoir will be glad to know what I will tell you about your teeth. DR. HORTON

Learning the “combination” is all the go/now, and it is nothing new to se€ the old and the young down on their knees endeavoring to work the combination of the various postoffice boxes. Just keep one fact in your mind and you will have no trouble: Turn toward the right one revolution to the first number on your card, then turn to the left to the other number, then turn the little button on the box to the left and your box is Open. The half numbers mean the lines on the dial after the figure; the full numbers mean the figures on the dial.

VEmmet Pullin shipped a pair of elh and deer to Logansport Tues<giy morning. Some weeks ago The Democrat made mention of the sale of these animals by Mr. Pullins. They were crated and shipped by express, and the express-messenger may thank his stars that they were in crates, as otherwise he wouldn’t have been worth 30 cents in two seconds after they were in the car if it had been possible to have got them there. Elk are one of the most dangerous of the horned or hoofed animals, and woe to the unarmed hunter that >is overtaken by one of. these maddened mam-mothed-horhed brutes. They can fight at either end, with their hind

feet, their fore feet or their horns, and their powerful frames will prevail against any other beast found in this country, unless (t be the moose, to which it is closely allied..

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED. Through some as yet unexplained manner, Congressman Flood of West Virginia, who was to speak at Remington Monday night, failed to put in an appearance there, much to the disappointment of the democrats who had all arrangements made for the meeting. No word was received from him, and it is probable a mix-up in dates was the trouble. Chairman Littlefield took the matter the state committee yesterday afternoon over the longdistance 'phone, but too late for us to publish what they had to say about it.

Vote for Farmer Algie f. Law for Stae Senator.' BIG DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT PARR. There were between fifty and sixty persons from here went up to Parr Saturday night to the democratic speaking, including the Healy Orchestra, the Marshall Glee Club and the drum corps. The northbound evening train stopped there to take these people up, and the 11:05 .south-bound night train stopped to bring them back. Everybody had a fine time and with the turnout from Parr and those in that vicinity the school house was packed almost to suffocation, and a great many were unable to get into the room at all.-

Speeches were made by Arthur Tuteur—and by the way this is Arthur’s maiden politlcial campaign, and he did fine, speaking without notes and having an excellent mand of the English language—Guy Gerber, the candidate for jointrepresentative of Jasper , and White counties, who also made a good talk and a fine impression, and attorney E. P. Honan, who made the principal talk of the evening. Mr. Honan is an old campaigner, of course, and received much applause, plause.

Much of the success of the meeting was due to the efforts of- Steve Brusnahan, who is a whole host in himself, and we wish there were a dozen democrats like him in every township in Jasper county. ’ The Healy Orchestra and the Glee Club enlivened the meeting also with music and campaign songs, and if there was anyone present that was sorry for having gone we have not heard of them. Of course it was a little tantalizing to Logan Wpod and some others of the g. o. p. leaders to see such a turnout, but they smiled and tried to look cheerful even if they did not feel that way. ~

Woman Interrupts Political Speaker. A well dressed woman interrupted a political speaker recently by continually coughing. If she had taken Foley’s Honey and Tar it would have cured her cough quickly and expelled the cold from her system. The genlune Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no opiates and is in a yellow package. Refuse substitutes. A. F. Long.

SAME OLD CAME

unless he wants to be. and surely there are not many of this kind. The last week of the campaign has ndw been entered on, with everything indicating complete Democratic success. Mr. Taft’s visit to the state will not, in the opinion of careful observers, lose the Democrats a vote. . Many people turned out to see him at the places where his sumptuous train stopped. They gazed upon Mr. Taft’s ample proportions, got a glimpse of his numerous retainers, attendants, servants, physicians, bodyguards and so forth, and then watched the- departure of the train with unconcealed indifference. No real enthusiasm was anywhere shown. It was mere curiosity that drew the crowds. When it comes to voting, large numbers of Republicans who turned out to “see Taft” will cast their votes for Bryan. Now mark this and see if it does not look like the Democratic part of the campaign is “going some.'* Something like a thousand Democratic speeches vjll be made in the state during the week. The Kern special will be out six days, covering all parts of the state. Several notable speakers will go along Mr. Kern throughout the trip. Mr. Bryan will be in the state all day Saturday on a special train. Itineraries for other noted speakers are being arranged. Nothing like the finish that the Democrats are putting on their campaign was ever seen in Indiana before. The spirit back of it can' mean nothing but victory.

Vote for Honest “Tom” Marshall for governor.

GANDERBONES FORECAST

- FOR NOVEMBER. (Copyright 1908, by C. H., Rleth.) A table and a pitcher, A tumbler and a stand, , A man in double-breasted clothes, And music by the band; A last appeal to reason, A crowd with cheering draft— Some folks think it’s Bryan, And others think it’s Taft. A speaker on a Pullman, A little pantomine, A hasty diagnosis of The perils of the time; A farewell and a promise, A benediction aft— Some folks think it’s Bryan, And others think it’s Taft. O’ ■ . • A man with twenty dollars, Another man with ten, A swift exchange of challenges, And two excited men; A show-down and a wager, A banknote and a draft— Some folks think it’s Bryan,., And others think it’s Taft. A homestretch and a tumult, jA spyglass and a shout, A feverish excitement while They try to make them out; A flying dust cloud leading, A second cloud abaft — Some folks think it’s Bryan, And others think it’s Taft.

In the old Roman calendar November was the ninth month. Blessings fell early, and the empire gave thanks just before the first frost; but about 700 B. C. the trusts left the people so little to be thankful for after nine months that it was decided to wait a while and see if anything would come of the Roman elections. Numa accordingly made November the eleventh month and had Thanksgiving fall with the first snows, notwithstanding the month gets its name from the Latin novem (nine.) The frisky colt will sniff the air and hear the whistling quail, and the festive calf will indicate the zenith with his tail. The frost will paint the forest with a deep and redder dye, the hired man will shuck the corn, the pumpkin vine will pie, the politicians will hit up their office-hold-ing feud, and the modest .maple tree will blush and come out in the nude.

And then the presidential race Will hold its royal sway, And everyone will exercise His liver, anyway. He’ll bounce it up and down between His pancreas and gizzard, And waltz it through his inner works From A around to Izzard, And even though his present race May prove to be in vain, He’ll have the health and strength -to run Sometime, perhaps, again. At any rate the candidates will dash into the stretch, and both Bills-o’-the-Wisp will make themselves quite hard to ketch. They’ll spurt in spirited response to many wild arousers, and fan the dust up with the slack downhanging from their trousers. They’ll come tn sight exhibiting a score of fancy paces, and only hit the trembling earth in four or five high places. The air will darken with the flight of gravel, dirts and sods, and the crowd will sound its battle cries and give and offer odds. And Teddy meanwhile will wedge in quite-dose beside the track, with something that he has concealed within a paper sack, and when his entry charges down, hot-footing like the wind, T. R. will hang a hornests nest upon him down behind.

And then there will be doings on This agitated sphere— The, earth will pitch and Suck to beat • A frenzied Texas steer. The sun will spin around and around And blow up once or twice, The moon will turn a very dark And bloody ball of iceA And no one will remain to see Who won the race for vice.

The election will be held on the 3d, and the trusts will hold an allnight prayer meeting on the 2d. Mr. Bryan will cast his vote for Mr. Taft at Lincoln. Mr. Taft will return the courtesy at Cincinnati, and Mr. Rockefeller will receive the news at Cleveland. The quadrennial ass who wheels another quadrennial ass through town on a wheelbarrow will start from the Postoffice at 10 o’clock on the morning of the 4th, followed by 90 boys and the Fofilkiller. The complete returns will be in'by the 15th. The annual show-down between city and country life will be complete by the 20th, when the farmer will have his cellar stocked with potatoes, turnips, kraut, honey, nuts, hams, sidemeat, souse, popcorn, pickles, pig’s feet, applebutter, lard, sweet potatoes; and sorghum, and the city man will enter the winter with his cellar stocked with ten tons of hard coal and two gas meters.

The man who made election bets, Relying on his knowledge, Will write a sad note to his son, Withdrawing him from college. The football season will wind up, The class room claim its braves. And the faculty will order flowers And decorate the graves.

A double fleeced lined coat of hair will come in style for dogs, and the farmer will put on the pot and kill his fattened hogs? The air will teem with shouts and squeals* and sundry flavors sweet, the good) housewife will render lard and scrape and pickle feet, the spared old hens will get a note of terror In their cackllngs, and the children will refresh their turns With good old-fashioned cracklings. Mr. Roosevelt’s annual proclamation advancing the price of turkey 10 cents a pound will be issued about the middle of the month. He will urge us to give thanks that 55,000,000 cubic feet of earth were excavated at Panama in October. The sad-faced gobbler will address • His young and tearful flock, And clip for memories sweet sake A small and tear-stained lock, And then, with many sighs, will lay His head upon the block. Until the 25th November will be under the zodiacal sign of Scorpio. People born in Scorpio are cross at supper, and it is better, if possible, to be born after the 25th, when the month is under the sign of Sagitarius the Archer. Sagitarius people are only cross at breakfast, when everybody is. The flower for November is the chrysanthemum, which, signifies that Japan received our fleet without starting anything. The moon will be full on the Bth. Along about the 29 th The Duke of the Abruzzi Will get it all fixed up that he Shall wed his tootsey-wootsey; And Elkins pere will dance a jig And dream of wedding cake, While everybody else makes bets On wither it will take. - ■ And then December will blow in with cold and Christmas glee, and old King Coal, the merry old soul, will thunder opt, “Pay me!”

Foley’s Honey and Tar cures coughs quickly, strengthens the lungs and expels colds. Get the geniune in a yellow package. A. F. Long.

To his secretary were read tbe latest reports concerning the alleged engagement of the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins, and he replied: “We know nothing of the reports that the Duke of the Abruzzi announced his engagement at Turin today, and that a wedding will occur in November. We don’t think it is true, however. “The report from Chicago that Mrs. Elkins has confirmed tbe engagement of her daughter to the Italian nobleman is untrue. Ito. Elkins has not given an interview regarding this matter. Furthermore, she will not give an interview. As for the report that Cardinal Gibbons will visit Elkins. W. Va., next week, we know nothing of such a visit here.” ! / Baseball in the Line of Duty. Danville. Ind., Oct. 27.—Charles C.
