BONEHEAD PLAYS.

By Walt Mason.

We might, as grave ward we advance, know naught bn: golden days, if we did not, a' every chance; -indulge in bonehe.l plays. For nearly all the ills, we know, and all the pains and aches, originated long ago, in our own foolish breaks. Man Minn he draws his pay, lie blows it in lor long cold beers, and that's a ho neb cad play. The schoolboy, mother - little pet, upon a summer day, learns to smoke a cigarette, and that's a bonehead play. The damsel learns lo paint and. sing, to dance the night away, but sidesteps every useful thing, and that's a honehead play. All carelessly man goes in debt for grub and clothes and hay; and knows, Vvhen lawyers make his sweat, it was a bonehead play. To buy a gaudy choo-efipo ear;, man signs his home away, and say,, some day, with breaking heart. “It was a bonehead play.” This life of ours, should be sunshine, our hearts should all be glad; but we pull boneheads 'all the time, and that’s why life is sad.

Plans Arranged for Trains to Democratic Convention.

Indianapolis, .May 4. - A rijun gements have been completed by the local committees in charge of the special trains which will go to St. Louis to attend the Democratic national convention on June 14. It is said that delegations from all parts of Indiana will come to Indianapolis on Monday, June IS, and the crowd will form at the Indiana Democratic club to march to the union station Two trains of 12 coaches each have been chartered to care for the 1,000 or more Democrats who are expected to go from Indiana to the convention. Announcement was made yesterday at the Republican state headquarters of the selection of Jesse

hbach of Warsaw, Ind., as head of the speakers’ bureau for the fall campaign, Mr. Eschbach is a member of the general assembly from Kosciusko county, having been elect—•■d in HH2 when Republicans in elective 'offices were few. He was piioinina ted at the MarCh primaries. 'without opposition. Mr. Eschbach" [ served as chairman of the speakers’ [bureau throughout the 101 I campaign and was so successful in that difficult position that it was deerped advisable to give him the place again. The appointment was made by State Chairman Hays. lan (he Consumer luunv. Wi- have two broad way.Vb: deallug with the market gluts of perishable . farm: stuff Thai demoralize ■pi ite: 1 ht• first:-, is to co-operate, get | good information, distribute shipments; widely, and prevent congestion in ; tew big -cities;. A great deal | h s Keen, done along this line by | growers organizations, and Tholes.uu is working io accompli ;hmore. | The second way is to create a j larger consuming demand after a ■ glut ..has occurred im a given market, yor ' o prepare-, the public to .consume more in a season when there is a I heavy crop everywhere. This calls ibr publicity to the consumer, telling what is plentiful and cheap, i \ li;;le has yet been done to deal J with gluts in that way. There are always times when ceri tain products are cheap, and there- ! fore economical for the public. PoI tatbes may lie high and onions low, oranges stiff and apples weak. Ibr the public seldom hears about- these marker differences. NN hat publicity can do was shown it' the bumper apple season ol in 12- , I :t, when women’s clubs in Chicago : c onducted an apple: campaign. in ! ope week there was an extra conjTunviPiio'u of 2 ! .i.oi.ii barrels, At that rate our five biggest cities would ; cat up lop .no ii barrels a week, siipi pose such a demand could be behind this season's apple balance, or organized to consume a poach crop i like that of last year! | Some day Unel-e Sam will proba- ; bly extend his statistical system, givj ing 'he public information about j what is plentiful and economical, thus ; helping both consumer and producer, j In the meantime the produce deal- | ers of Pittsburg have organized to i deal with the situation in their own i market. A committee has been apj pointed, and a publicity man hired. ; Whenever there is a surplus of proi dure -to be moved in Pittsburg the people of that city will be told about it. If heavy movements of peaches or strawberries are. known to be due in a few weeks, the city will be advised in advance, and if a sudden oversupply materializes in the regular run of business, the public will also be told. Each produce dealer who finds himself caught with more stuff than he can move through ordinary channels is to pay a dollar a car for publicity, and with other funds the public will be kept posted as td market conditions through the newspapers, by street' car cards, by signs on produce and grocery -wagons, in tie stores, and wherever else the announcement can be made. —Country, Gentleman.

STATE PARKS RICH IN CIVIC VALUES

Will Stop Destruction ot Beauty Spots and Help Good Roads. • .‘a- ' ‘ '2..'- . . Doubtless the reason that the idea of celebrating Indiana's centennial by the people giving to their state a system. of parks is being .received with such widespread enthusiasm is the civic values that Iloosiers see in the movement. The state park system promises to pay civic dividends in many ways. It means the preservation of those scenic beamy spots that aYo to he found all over Indi>na. There jhas- bean some wanton destruction going on in these places hi -th.- last twenty years. The' fine: old t"- < 2 have been cm by lumber speculators and some of the finest scenery in Indiana lias bn n destroyed by railroads which blasted the fugged, picturesfiue rocks for roadbed ballast. It is apparent that the only way this destruction can he stopped is for the. public to acquire the property from the private owners. This will make .sure the perpetual preservation of the scenic spots so that future generations may enjoy them. State parks in Indiana will have the same effect upon the public as have the city parks of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and other cities that have gone in for parks oil extensive scab'. The beauty spots coax the public into the fresh air. induce them to take' up healthful recreation, and they tie the public close to the charms of nature. State parks will also mean the preservation of trees, make safe retreats for birds and small game, and tlm parks will also lead to the stocking up of streams and lakes with fish. It. is not the intention in establishing state parks to go in for extensive and expensive landscape adornment. The wild; spots are to he preserved in their wi! : n< . so after the beauty spots conre into the possession of the public there will be little expense in Upkeep. ' State , parks will be a great stimn lent to good roads, for the parks will -lead to tying them together with the best kind of highways. There is' in the state i ark movement a fine opportunity to make a show place of all Indiana—a laud of parks not only for the enjoyment of the Hoosiers. hut., for the pleasure .of the people who come from other slates. ■ . /' Ellery s- dr wick, editor of the At iahtic Monthly magizine.

Greek Letter Fraternities.

The ilrs(.and oldest of any Greek letter fratcnjiiy in the United Slates was tiie Phi Beta Kappa society, founded at. William and Mary college* \ irginia.. in ITTd, from which sprang a chapter at Yale in li-SO and later chapters at other colleges. This was the only. Greek letter society in the United States until 1523, when the Kappa Alpha was formed at Union college. New York. Several other college societies were formed during this period, with such names as Philomathean, Krosophian, Ilermosurian, etc., but. these were not Greek letter societies, The first woman’s Greek letter fraternity was the Kappa Alpha Theta, founded at De Pauw university in IS7O. The record shows it was founded by Bettle Locke, class of ’7l; Alice Allen, ’7l; Bettie Tipson, ’7l, and Hanna Fitch, ’73.— Philadelphia Press.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constant failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.’ Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

THE MISSIONARIES OF ANTIOCH

Acts if .19-26; 13:1-3 —ifay 7. Persecution Spreads the Gospel—The First Church Amongst the Gentiles. Barnabas Sent From Jerusalem to Assist the Young Church—Saul of Tarsus Brought to Antioch—The Two Sent Forth as Missionaries. Ordination and Laying on of Hands. "Go ye therefore, ami make disciples of all the nations.”--Mattlnu; 28:19. R. V. 3NTIij\:H. at the time of our Study, was the third city in the world in commercial im portance and population, only Koine and Alexandria taking precedence. It is noted as heing the first city outside of Palestine in which a (’liristjan church assembly was formed. Indeed, We might say that as .Terusaiei.ll was the center of influence in Palestine. so Antioch became a center of influence respecting tin; Gospel amongst t he < ten files. It seems that the little spark of Truth which started the work of the Lord attAntioch resulted from the per • seciition at the time of St. Stephen's* death. Some of those forced out of

know not how many of them were reached fly the Gospel; but it was surely confined to them until the end of Israel's seventy -.symbolical weeks of 1 beifie faviu—until the autumn of 3(1 A. I Daniel At (lie same time, therefore, that the Lord was sending Philip to the Samaritans and to the Ethiopian eunuch, and was opening the door to the Gentiles through tin- Apostle Peter. lie was ready to open the door to the Gentiles everywhere. Under the leading of Divine providence some of the Christian lie,brews elsewhere got the proper thought at the proper time that aGentile who Would receive the Lord Jesus could be classed as a disciple c j's.uly with t he Jews who had done so.

The news that the Gospel was going to the Gentiles at Antioch, and that large numbers were turning to the Lord,-reachevl tile Church at Jerusalem —the head-renter of. Christian work. The brethren there had already been prepared by the Lord's manifest dealinns in the case of Cornelius; and this, undoubtedly, would largely correct any prejudice on the subject of the Gentiles as fellow heirs of the Abraliamic Promise, Which had previously pertained to the Jews alone. Accordingly, Barnabas was sent to Antioch to judge Of the true condition of things and to give some report as to whether the new converts were worthy to be recognized as fellow-heirs with the saints. Christian Missionaries. Uafnabas was a Ixwite and a native of Cyprus, an island near Antioch, and probably was familiar with the dhtlpct spoken in Antioch. Additionally, he had a beautiful character; in fact, lie had been named Barnabas by the brethren, who had tbus designated him “a son of consolation,” a helper. He at once overflowed toward the Antioch brethren; and in the same comforting, helpful manner as at Jerusalem he exhorted them all. As a result “much people was added to the Lord.” While Barnabas was at Antioch, he had in mind Brother Saul of Tarsus, whom lie had met in Jerusalem; and he concluded that, since Tarsus was not far from Antioch, he would look

influence was no doubt for the good of all. For a whole year they assembled with the Church at Antioch, and taught much people, it was there the disciples were first called Christians. The result of their labors was that the Chim;> as a whole was developed. There were a number of prophets—public speakers—and teachers in the Church; and evidently they began to consider how they might'he used of the Lord to His glory and to the blessing of others. They finally concluded to send forth Barnabas and Paul as their representatives in mission work. The proper course having been decided upon, the congregation fasted, prayed and laid their hands upon the two, then, sent them on their missionary tour with the blessing of the Church. The laying on of hands was probably done by the congregation, through the Elders. This would not signify authority to preach, as ordination sometimes means today amongst various sects and parties. It simply meant that the congregation were sending forth the two as their representatives, for whose maintenance the congregation was responsible. Later, the brethren returned and made report.
