1 Hurrah for Fair Oaks! After a number of years hard work we have at last succeeded to elect a trustee in our corner of the township, Mr. Isaac Kight. We feel hopeful that we will now enjoy a few of the luxuries which we have been denied for several years, in the way of good roads. ; Last Saturday night there were 40 or 50 men, women and children who attended the political speaking held under a big tent in Washburn park. There were ten or a dozen came up on the seven o’clock train from Rensselaer. The speakers were Abe Halleck and Sam Sparling. Among the crowd was John Brunner, Lyman Zea and Ben Harris. Ed Lakin lost a span of mules Tuesday night. They got out of the pasture a couple of miles east of here' and wandered down to the Monon tracks and walked over the cattle guards and down the track toward Fair Oaks, where one of the fast morning trains struck them. One was carried over 150 yards and the other has not been heard from since. It was probably carried until the train stopped. Hurrah for us, we got three car loads of gravel the latter part of the week to put on the road just south of the depot. Guess they must have all of the roads in the south and east part of the township graveled or we would not have got any at all again this fall. So we realize that we are living in a time of advancement. As it is now started wq feel that if Trustee Davisson could hold another term we would no doubt get some gravel roads in this part of the township. The Beveridge special arrived here last Thursday somewhat behind time. When they got here they layed over about 30 minutes and ate their dinner which was furnished by the Central committee. It was cooked and served on the train to all but the train crew. This is a fair sample of what the g. o. p. big guns think of their laborers. The train crew went to the car to get their dinners, too, but they were handed a couple of sandwitches which they had to pay 10 cents for. This did not satisfy the hunger of these men, who had had probably no chance to get anything to eat for several hours, so they all went to the hotel and got a square meal. After the fireman got his dinner he went into Kight’s store and related their experience. While there he remarked that if they had been pulling a Democratic train they would have ate on the train where the rest of them did. At this a good old Bryan man went forth and set up the cigars to the whole crew. Long before this reaches the readers of The Democrat the results of the election will be known. (Correspondence continued on last page) OBITUARY. Calvin Harold, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Snodgrass, was born at Mt. Ayr, August 16, 1902, and died at his home five miles southeast of Morocco, Sunday morning, November 1, at 4:40 o’clock, of congestion of the Iqngs and bronchial trouble, his age being 6 years, 2 months and 15 days. His suffering was great but of short duration, he having been bedfast but a few days. He was a favorite in the family circle and his death was a sad blow to the family. He was a little sunbeam to all who knew him. He was conscious to the last, and realized death was near at hand, by bidding each member of the family "good-bye" about an hour and a half before death catne. Harold was an unusually bright boy and his one desire during his sickness was to recover so as to go to school again, this being his first term. He leaves a father, mother, 3 brothers and 2 sisters to mourn his loss; namely: Lee, Glen, Elmer, Bertha and Myrtle. The funeral was held at the home Monday morning at 9 o’clock, Rev. Ballard officiating. The remains were taken to Egypt cemetery for burial. Death came as a relief to his suffering and only those who have been similarly bereaved can know the weight of the affliction. Death does not stop to select its flowers but plucks them wherever it lays its icy grasp, but since all of us must die, death should not be looked upon so cruelly. A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved ls*stilled A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. xx

Vengeance.

Cuyler stood at the gate watching the much decorated motor disappear down the road tn a cloud of dust, out of which the white ribbons still fluttered in flamboyant fashion. The ground before him was white with rice, while here and there a decrepit shoe, having done its duty in speeding the parting couple, lay in pathetic neglect, its brief moment of popularity now over. . With a grim smile Cuyler turned on his heel and made his way up the gravel walk, past the groups of pretty, laughing girls, each with its attendant trpln of satellites. On the wide veranda the orchestra played lilting waltzes, to which apparently no one was listening, and near by the bride’s mother, a portly, rather handsome woman, was talking gayly with a solemn faced young man, whom Cuyler recognized as the officiating rector. t “Where is Elinor?” he asked as Mrs. Trenholme turned to him with a welcoming smile which plainly invited him to join her. "Elinor? Really, Fritz, I haven’t the least idea. Isn’t she down there on the lawn?” Cuyler shook his head. “She was standing beside me when they entered the motor,” he explained, “and after they had started I found she had slipped away." “I think,” the rector Interposed, ”1 saw her going through the house a moment ago. She went through the rear door, if I remember.” “Thank you.” said Cuyler. He entered the hall, crossed to the door at the rear and stepped out on the broad veranda that commanded a fine view of the hills to the west. Below him the formal gardens on the terrace were cool and green and, to

"TELL THEM HOW I’VE GOT SQUARE WITH MARGARET.”

his disappointment, apparently deserted. Lighting a cigarette, he descended the broad steps and sauntered leisurely along the path that led down the terrace. He had proceeded no great distance when from behind a clump of bay trees he caught the flash of a white dress. He tossed the cigarette away and turned from the path. Behind the barrier of bay trees was a rustic seat, and, sitting very straight on this seat, her hands clasped and her eyes a most suspicious red, was Eleanor Trenholme. Cuyler was beside her In an instant “Well, v>ell,” he said lightly, yet not without a certain touch of geutleness In his voice, “this is rank desertion. It will never do in the world. Aren’t you going to ask me to be seated?” "I came here to be alone,” she said doubtfully. “I’m not sure that I want you here just now.” But nevertheless she moved over and made room for him beside her. Cuyler at once took the seat, looking at her searchingly meanwhile. “You shouldn't feel about It the way you do,” he chided gravely. “And how do you think I feel?” she challenged. Cuyler looked at her again. “Rather cut up. I fancy.” he replied. “You are wrong. 1 am not cut up, as you choose to call it, only—only”— “Only what?” said he. “Of course he’s perfectly splendid.” she said slowly, “and I am awfully proud of him. just as we all are, but—but somehow I can't help being selfish. I can’t benr the idea of giving up Margaret to him. We’ve always been together, she and 1. and—and—oh, well. I’m selfish, that’s all there is to it.” Cuyler saw something glistening In her eyes. A tear coursed slowly down her cheek and hung In ridiculous fashion on the point of her chin. She brushed It away almost savagely. “You see.” Cuyler declared, “I was sure you would feel this way about it. That was why I came out here to find you." “I’m not sure how I feel about it myself yet." said she. “Oh, I can make a good guess,” he replied. “You are very glad that she is to be happy, and yet there is a little ache In your heart that you can’t deny, try as you,will to do so. There is an end to something, just what you can’t definitely decide, but something has gone out of your life. Of that you are certain, isn’t that it?” “Yes. That is just It How did you know so well?’ she asked. Cuyler turned to her. with a smile of

understanding. ”1 have a brother,” be said simply. “He was very close to me —closer. Indeed, than any one else In the world—until one day he found the | other and, of course, the greater happiness, just as your sister has done. It i was tremendously lonely without him.” “But you got over It In time?" she asked quickly. “In a way, yes; In another way, no,” said he. She looked at him questlonlngly. He was smiling down at h,er with, a certain whimsical gravity. “There is only one way to get even with these people—this sister of yours and this brother of mine," be asserted. “And how is that?” she asked. “Follow suit,” said he. Her brows wrinkled In a perplexed frown. “I don’t exactly catch your meaning,” she said. * Cuyler suddenly leaned toward her. There was something In his eyes that brought a quick flush to her cheeks. “Let’s not permit these other people to have all the happiness in the world. Let’s reserve a little for ourselves,” said he. Her head was turned from him. Presently be saw her shoulders shake convulsively. At the same time she arose from the bench. “I’m—Pm going down to the pond,” she faltered, still refusing to look at him. “Please, please, stay here and don’t come until I call you.” “Just a minute, Elinor,” he pleaded. “I wanted to say”— But with a little imperious gesture she moved away, leaving him there somewhat mystified and decidedly angry. He sat down again on the rustic seat, drew out a cigarette and began smoking furiously. When it was burned out be lighted another and then another. It was not until his fourth cigarette that a voice sounded faintly from the little pond at the foot of the terrace. “Fritz!” it called. “Oh, Fritz! You may come now if you like!” He hurried down the path. Elinor sat on the rail of the little boathouse. Her eyes were very red, and beside her lay a tiny bit of lace, crumpled and very wet.

“Elinor,” he said contritely, “I didn’t mean to make it any harder for you. I was trying”— “Listen.” she interrupted. “1 came down here to have a last grand orgy of feelings all by my lonesome. Whatever tears I have for Margaret I wanted to shed once for all, and that's what I’ve done. I—l had to shed them now, because—because—what you’ve just said, you know—makes it—makes it—oh, Fritz, don’t you see?” The manner in which he sprang to her side told very plainly that he did see. “And now',” she said rather breathlessly a moment later, “we’d better go up to the ( house and tell them bow I’ve got square with Margaret”

Stevenson on Idleness.

If a person cannot be happy without remaining idle, idle he should remain. It is a revolutionary precept but thanks to hunger and the workhouse, one not easily to be abused, and within practical limits it Is one of the most incontestible truths in the whole body of morality. Look at one of your Industrious fellows for a moment, I beseech you. lie sows burry and reaps indigestion; he puts a vast deal of activity out to Interest and receives a large measure of nervous derangement in return. Either he absents himself from all fellowship and lives a recluse in a garret, with carpet slippers and a leaden ink pot. or he comes among people swiftly and bitterly, in a contraction of his whole nervous system, to discharge some temper before he returns to work. Ido not care how much or how well he works, this fellow Is an evil feature in other people’s lives. They would be happier If he were dead.—Robert Louis Stevenson.

Changes In English.

A striking means of measuring the great changes that have from time to time taken place in the English language Is to study the Lord’s Prayer as It has been written In different centuries: 1150.—Fader ur heune, baleweide beith thl neune, cumin thi kunerlche, thl wille beoth idon In heune and in erthe. 1300.—Fader ure in heavene, halewyn be thi name, thl kingdom come, thi wille be done as In hevene and in erthe. 1370.—Oure fadlr that art in heune, hallowid be thi name, thi kingdom come, be thl wille done in erthe as in heune. 1524.—0ure father which arte in heven. hallowed be thy name. Let thy kingdom come, thy wyoll be fulfilled as well in earth as it Is In heven. “Dally bread” appears in three versions severally as “da we brlend,” “days bred.” ’’dayly brede” and “superstantial bread.”

Tolstoy’s Sense of Honor.

At one music party at Count Tolstoy’s a lady’s singing displeased the count’s boys, and they adjourned to another room and made a noise. Their father lost patience and weat after them, and a characteristic admonition ensued. “Are you making a noise on purpose?** he asked. After some hesitation came an answer in the affirmative. “Y-y-yes." “Does not her singing please you?” “Well, no. Why does she bowl?” declared one of the boys, with vexation. “So yon wish to protest against her singing?*’ asked Lyeff Nikolaorltch in a serious Tone. "Yes.** "Then go out and say so or stand in the middle of the room and tell every •ne present That would be rude, bat upright and bonest But you have get together and are squealing tike grasshoppers to a corner. I will not endure such protests.”
