FILING OF PETITIONS To Knock Out Saloons at Muncie ReSults in Fistic Clash. Muncie, Ind., August 30. —One fistic clash to-day resulted from the filing of a remonstrance containing sufficient names in an attempt to knock out Muncie’s 26 saloons. Carney Bartlett, a saloonkeeper, hit George Shaw, a prominent dry worker, and was taken into custody on a warrant charging attack. Muncie was dry a little more than two years ago. Saloons were returned to the Second Ward last spring. This seems to have had no effect on the blind tigers, as during the month of July there were 25 arrests of persons chargd with the sale at unlicensed places. The county commissioners meet next week to consider 36 applications for saloon licenses and at that time will pass on the validity of the remonstrance.

Play Fairly. Play the game fairly, young man. Bring all your strength to play; Fight just as hard as you can, Don’t give up in dismay. Eagerly strive for success, Do not be ready to quit; But if you are facing distress ■ Always be fair when you hit. Play the game always to win, , Put your whole soul in the strife; Battle through thick and through tMn Seeking the glories of life. Give to the struggle your best. But if you rise or fall low This is the ultimate test; Was fairly delivered each blow? Better in honor to fall Than win with a stain on your shield; Better, when strong men assail To die for the cause in the fle’d, Than conquer by methods unfair, To win by a foul blow or lie; Better to lose on the square Than -succeed and have shame in your eye. Play the game fairly, young man, Stick to your principles true; Fight just as hard as you can, Hit with the full strength of you Eyes front and head in the air. Bravely dare all tor the right; Fail if you must, but be fair, Keep in the open your fight. -—Detroit Free Press.

A pine pillow or sweet grass basket may be renewed by steaming them. Paint may be removed from window glass by the application of hot vinegar. , Turpentine will take ink stains fjom the most delicate fabric. Soak the stains over night or longer. Sew lead weights Into the hems of table covers or runners used on a porch. The wind will not disturb them. A nice delicacy for luncheon is a crisp cracker spread with cottage cheese and garnished with a cherry on top. X When carrying a freshly-frosted cake, put a few toothpicks into the cake to keep the covering from sticking to it. Dainty littje baskets for flowers or favors may be made from old straw hats.

The disposal of garbage In country places and small towns where no provision for Its removal Is made, Is a constant worry. All substances which decompose may be put Into a small hole In the-garden, and after the hole Is filled cover with dirt and. forget all about it, nature will do the rest. Tin cans, glass and crockery cannot be thus disposed of, as they are unsightly. A hole In the ground Is a good place for them if there are any hollows and holes to be filled.

Cream as much butter as there Is of the pounded nuts, add the nut paste gradually; season with paprika and use for sandwich filling.
