WHY WILSON IS LIKED.

The people like a President who does things. That is why they liked Roosevelt. That is why they tired of Taft so quickly. Roosevelt was a ‘ smasher” and a “buster.” He made the wheels go round and the sparks fly. The people enjoyed him. Taft, with bis judicial temperament, was inclined to let things move quietly- airing and to accomplish results in the Old-fashioned way without thunder, lightning or pyrotechnics;- His work was effective but noiseless, but the crowd didn't think anything was being done. President Wilson appreciates that the crowd likes the spectacular and he enjoys smashing precedents. He likes to walk into congress and read his own messages. He enjoys giving the legislative branch of the government a little rope for free pasture arid then pulling it up with restrictions that he himself imposes. Ail this pleases the people. They are entirely satisfied with anything (he may do unless he does it to them. Rut every administration is finally judged from the long-distance view. Fireworks may please the crowd, but the far-reaching results of presidential policies will have to stand the test of the book-keeper's pen and pencil in the workshop and in the accounting room. —Leslie’s Weekly;

DIES WITHOUT “PEACHING."

Quinlan Relieved to Have Known About “Holmes Castle.” Chicago, March 7. ; Patrick Quinlan, who is said to be one of the few men who might have explained the mysteries of ‘THolnies Castle," which was famous in the annuals of Chicago crime, is dead at his home near Portland, Mich., according to dispatches received here today. Before his death he told physicians he had taken poison. i Quinlan was a carpenter, and was employed by Herman W. Mudgett, better known as Dr. J. J. Holmes, to build the structure which later became known as the “Castle.” The police held him for a time as a possible accomplice in the five or six murders 'for which Holmes tvas convicted. Quinlan acted as agent for the “Castle” until Holmes was hanged. Trap doors, false > partitions and numbers of wires were part of the equipment found in the “Castle,” in which the police believed many crimes had been committed. “He couldn’t sleep,” was thfe reason given by relatives for Quinlan’s death.

DITTLER PICKED - FOB TREASURER

His Rase Cvarshadcws Every fitter Contest. MAKING AGSRESSiVE CAMPAIGN Democratic Politicians Throughout Indiana Believe Fort Wayne Candidate Has the Strongest Chance of Winning Nomination at the Approaching State Convention Accounts Board Member Appears Far in the Lead. I:Mianapolis, March, 1L With the approach of the Democratic state eon-y.-:;*ton, March 19; the race fojr the nomination for state treasurer, which, by far, has overshadowed every other contest, is drawing to a close and there now is every indication that George A. Rittler of Fort Wayne will win the recognition of the convention. Bittier has been making the most aggressive campaign and, according to politicians who have been watchincr the race closely, has bagged most of th • delegates. The Fort Wayne man’s friends assert that he has from three

GEORGE A. BITTLER.

to a dozen of his friends on every delegation reported and will have, according to'their early estimate at least 397 votes on the first ballot. These votes, they say, will stay with him to the end. Bittier is conceded to be the strongest candidate by all his opponents and, according to his friends, has second choice strength enough to iand him the nomination on the third ballot

• here are so many candidates for treasurer that the contest is bound to develop into an elimination race. From the first liittler has been recognized as the best qualified man in the race and the strongest contender in view of the machinery behind him, the organization he has built up and the wide acquaintance he has throughout the state. He has had the advantage of a close personal relationship with 6,100 public officials throughout the state by reason of the membership he holds on the state board of accounts. In that capacity also he has demonstrated, his fitness for the office, having formed ah intimate knowledge of the duties of the state treasurer and the workings of the treasurer's office, and having made an exhaustive study of the intricate subject of taxation ana kindred questions with which the treasurer must grapple. He has familiarized himself with the books in the treasurer’s office through repeated examinations by his department, and has qualified himself in every way. In addition to these qualifications he has had the necessary banking experience. At the time of his appointment to the state board of accounts he was cashier of the Nuttman bank in lort Wayne, tie was secretary of the Fort \\ syne chapter of the American Institute of Banking and treasurer of ti e. Teutonia Buildihg and Loan Association of Fort Wayne. He is at present a member of the advisory committee cf the Citizens’ Trust company in Fort Wayne and is chairman of the finance committee of the Indian:! Democratic jglub in Indianapolis, of which he has been a member lor several years. He is also a member of the membership committee of this club, and scores of tiie members of the club have all along given him enthusiastic support.

Prior to coming to Indianapolis Mr. Bittler served ten years as, secretary of the Jefferson club in Fort Wayne, the eldest Democratic club in Indiana, and that organization is enthusiastically behind his candidacy. lie has not only been indorsed by* the Jefferson club, but by every banker, professional and business man in Fort Wayne. The Democrats of Allen county in convention assembled gave him a ringing indorsement and the Twelfth •district congressional and district conventions both indorsed him. A statement was issued by the district, comity and city chairmen and secretaries of the Democratic party organizations In Fort, Wayne, testifying to Mr. Bittier’s unquestioned Democracy and his long and ardent party service. —Advertisement.

CHANGED HER MIND TWICE

A Girl’s Fickleness Spoiled An Elopement.

Though it is a woman's privilege to change her mind, woe to the man who offends her by doing the same tiling! Julia Mears and Aubrey. Tisdale were very much in love with each other. Aubrey was a sensible fellow and advocated delaying the marriage, for Mr! Mears asked that before marriage the bridegroom should have got well started in the world’s miU and have some accumulation. Julia thought differently and proposed ,an elopement Aubrey confessed that he saw no teason for such a course when by the exercise of a little patience all would go well without the necessity of antagonizing her parents. But Julia told him he had no spunk and if he wanted her he must show that he had courage—in other words, he found himself in a position to lose his girl or marry her as she proposed. After considerable deliberation he consented.

One evening the two went for a drive, and, going to a neighboring town, Aubrey left his bride expectant at a hotel and started off in search of a minister. While he was gone Julia, being alone and an easy prey to remorse, began to think of what she had done —* how she would anger her father and distress her mother. The result was that, yielding to impulse, she went out to the door where the horse and buggy were standing and, getting into the buggy, started to go back home. Presently Aubrey came to the hotel with a minister and was surprised not to see the horse and buggy in the place where lie had left them. He hastened into the parlor, intending to tell Julia of the disappearance, but found no Julia there. Instead he was informed that she had taken the equipage and driven back in the direction whence they bad come. Getting a borse and wagon from a livery stable, be started after her. Overtaking her, he asked her what she meant Ashamed to acknowledge the truth, she told her lover that she had forgotten all about a trousseau and must have one before the wedding. “I must take this rig back,” be said. "You go on home.” "No.” replied Julia. “I’ll go back with you.” Each driving a team, they went slowly back in silence. Presently Julia, piqued at her lover's indifference, called to him that she had from the first suspected that he did not love hersuttir ciently to be her husband; that her return was really to test him and her suspicions had been confirmed. Aubrey said nothing, but when they reached the livery stable and he had returned his team be got iuto the buggy with her and turned the horse's head toward home. Julia said uothing for the first mile, but before finishing the second .charged Aubrey with making a fool of her by running away with her and then driving her back without a marriage. “I want you to have a trousseau.” said Aubrey. “You mean that you are glad for an excuse to break with me.” “It would spoil your test if I acted differently.” “Very well; this ends all between us.” “Oh, no! We’ll be married after you get your trousseau.” Aubrey drove to Julia’s house, where she alighted. Without a word or a look she went up to the door and into the house. Then Aubrey drove away. Aubrey in thinking the matter over concluded that perhaps he had acted unwisely and risked losing the girl he loved. He went to see .fulia the next day and proposed that they forget all about the unfortunate episode. Julia scorned his advances. He left the house with the very disagreeable feeling that in interfering with his ladylove’s privilege to change her mind he had committed a blunder. Months passed, during which Julia only hardened and Aubrey grew more miserable. i “What’s the matter, Aubrey?” asked his cousin, an,attractive girl of twenty, one day. - Aubrey coufided his trouble. “Julia has treated you just as you deserve. You put a great slight On her by not insisting on the marriage. When a woman goes off to be married it is a great mortification to her to return unmarried.” “But it was her own doing.” “Not after she had had time to reflect and"— “Change her miiid again.” “That was her privilege.” “What shall 1 do?” “Tell her you regret having acted so brutally.” “I’ve done all that sort of thing. It hasn’t any effect oh her.” “You can’t expect anything else after the abominable”— V “Never mind that. Help me out.” “Well. TIT try. Perhaps you had better come to see me quite often, and 1 may think of something to more her ” Aubrey did as his cousin suggested. Indeed, he was with her nearly all his spare time for a month. One day when the two were walking together they met Julia. There was an ominous flash in her eye ns she met that of this new ly arisen rival. When she had pass*«i Aubrey’s companion said: ■-“I think I see forgiveness in .her bearing. Aubrey. Suppose you send her some flowers with a very penitent note." Aubrey followed the advice, was forgiven and married Julia Mears.
