BEN ED, DOANE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA On a cold day the hobble skirt baa Its advantngos. London should not strain Its back breaking mosquitoes on a wheel. Even nursing bottles In New York give short measure. Thl3 Is really the limit. The whirling dorvlshes of Scrutnti nre out on n strike. This carries thestrike business to tho limit Aviation appears to be a good ileal like playing the game nt Monto Carlo, Few peoplo know whon to quit Several prominent flying men have agreed to quit sensational perform ances. Thnt Is getting down to oarth Eggs have advanced In price, but let us hope that tho hens will not becomo too proud to keep on lay lng. And now mero rann will bo nble to arise in tho still, small hours and go through tho pockets of Ids wife's trousers skirt. Whoever began the custom of spelling "shiver" with onl,v one "v" had no adoquato conception of tho horrora of a cold street car. If tho surviving aviators should hold reunions at the closo of the yenr3 would they be able to get special rates from the railroads? Two porsons in Baltimore were mar ried just for fun. This Is anothor evidence that the accepted standards of humor need revision upward. Uncle Sam has Just paid JSS.50 for clothes worn in the Civil war. This Is setting a good exnraplo to the men who nevor pay their tnilor bills. A bride of seventy-eight In nrooklyn Is accusod of eccentricity. The fact that she is romantic enough to bo a bride ought In Itself to prove the charge. English scientists are now discussing a beer without alcohol. They should bear lu mind the discomfiture which overtook the discoverers of odorless limburger. The Evansvllle (Ind.) man who Is suing for a divorce because his wifo bathes her pet dog In the dlshpan is unreasonable. She might have compelled him to do It. One thousand copios of the book written by tho king of Italy were gobbled up as soon as they were placed on tho market. For successful authorship try being a king. It took 12.209 hunters to kill 5.551 deer in Maine during the recent open season. If tho hunters hud used clubs Instead of guns they might have brought down a few mor-. A woman in a Pennsylvania town found a gold nugget In a chicken's craw. Poultry will now get dearer than over with tho prospect of every hen's being its own gold mine. Science, says an expert, will mako men In the future centenarians. But it is Impossible to please everybody. Thl3 news will raise a calamity howl from the pessimists and undertakers. A New York woman who has been arrested for bigamy Bays sho married her first husband for spite and the second on a bet. We think the Joko was on the man who enabled her to win the bet. They have accused the family fly, the night-singing family mosquito, of Infecting with tuberculosis, and now they say the family cat must go for the samo reason, liut when the last is abolished therowlll come the threat of the rat with tho bubonic plnguo germ. No matter which way we turn wo are confronted with a new peril. A physician In Washington, who evidently is obsessed with tho Idea of being the benefactor of his race, declares that silence Is the best cure for nervous disorders In women. Hut with all his scienco he doos not know tho nervous sex, if ho thinks a dictum like this, nfter centuries of offensive nnd dofensivo volubility, is going to make them stop talking. It is said that whistling is now r fad in Washington society among tho women. The pessimists, who hnve been unable to shock the country v.ith their wails over the terrible deterioration of the race caused by ciRarottosmoking among women, will now have a fresh outlet for their vociferous calamity outbursts. And . s a result the women will, as long as It pleases them, keep on whistling. A man in n Philadelphia theater tore to pieces a big hat which hid his view of tho stage. Of course, they had to arrest him, but no ono will doubt that ho was n martyr to tho sacred causo of our common humanity. A man In Pittsburg pleaded thnt he 'beat his wife only when she needed It. But, as he found when she had him nnt to Jail, there is nothing about which people are no ungrateful as tho Eollcltudo of others for their pnoral welfare.

L L COUNTIES WILL BECOME "WET" AS PRESENT LAW EXPIRES. IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE Any Person Permitting Gambling In His Place Will Not Be Granted a License Obscene Pictures Arc Prohibited. Indianapolis. Governor Marshall has signed the Proctor local option bill, which ho was to have signed soveral days ago. Tho bill nmonds the county op tion law by substituting township and cities and territory in townships out side of cities as tho local option units. Now as rapidly as the twoyear porlod under tho county option law expires the county becomes automatically "wet." Tho sonate has spent several days in tho consideration of the Proctor saloon regulation hill and in that time number of important amendments have been tacked on the bill. The im portant amendments made thus far are as follows: Licenses shall not bo granted to any porson that had permitted gambling in his place. If a license Is revoked tho holder shall not be eligible to anothor license in tho state. Remonstrances may be filed In cities as well as In townships. A license held by a grossly immoral person may be revoked. Prohibiting obscene pictures In sa loons. LIconsos shall be dated on the day granted by county commissioners.

A bill to reimburse Henry ileaver, former treasurer of Huntington county, for $17,000, because of losses sustained while in office during tho four years from 1S82 to 1SSG, will bo Introduced by Senator Lamont at next roll call in the senate. Tho money was paid to the county by Ileaver to make up alleged deficits of a former county auditor nnd treasurer. The nmount was charged up against Beaver during his term of office, and though he did not owe It, a decision of tho court on a technicality allowing him to be freed of the charges, he was compelled to pay over the funds. Daniel Christian, tho treasurer, who was said to have been short In his accounts, has since died. Mr. Beavor is now an nged inan nnd Impoverished because of the enormous amount he had to refund, according to Senator Lamont. Look for Fight In House. When the bill Is taken up in the houso it will again be subjected to a hot flro of amendments, and It Is said thnt it cannot get through tho houso in its present form. Tho houso killed tho bill which proposed to require county commissioners to Issue bonds and levy a special tax to build armories in counties whero there nre companies of the National Guard. More than two hundred women attended the open meeting of tho houso committee on elections to urge the passago of tho Keegan bill to give women the right to vote nt municipal elections and the Hcdrick bill to nmend tho constitution nnd grant women universal suffrage. Mrs. Antoinette Leach, a woman lawyer of Sullivan, was the principal speaker. No More "Third Degrees."

The bill was killed by an aye and no vote, and then saved by Representative Mcrrlman's motion to reconsider. It will come up for discussion later.
