Lafayette, Ind., A us. S. That ror porations are not altosether heartless, as the popular saying goes, is shown in an interesting case which has come to light in this city. Two weeks ago Andrew Smith, who has boon in tho service of the Wabash Railroad com
pany for forty-seven years withonf interruption, acting in the capacity of car inspector, was assigned by the foreman of a gang here to give up the day work in which he for so many years has been engaged and work nights.
Could Not Stand Night "Work. The old man was heartbroken. lie Is near! j' worn out, and night work is far too trying for a man of his age. lie pleaded with the foreman, but the latter Mas obdurate. The old man must either work nights or give up his job. As a result, after serving the Wabash faithfully for nearly half a century, Smith last. week gave up the job. Known by tbe SuperindentOld '"Andy," as he is known to Wabash employes from one end of the system to the other, has been for several years one of the principal figures at the annual meeting of Wabash rail
road veterans. The railroad manage
ment pays all expenses of bringing the
veteran employes together and giving
them a good time onco each year. It
was at one of these meetings that "Andy" made the personal acquaint
ance of the general superintendent of
the road, S. E. Cotter. Old "Andy" Gets His Job Again. Monday Cotter stopped off in La
fayette for a few minutes, his special
train waiting for him while he inspected the yards here. lie had no sooner
alighted from his coach than he asked
for his old friend "Andy" Smith. He
was told thecircumstances of the case, and if there ever was an angry general superintendent it was Cotter at that
tihie. He ordered the foreman before
him, and told him to reinstate Smith
at once and never think of discharg
ing him or asking him to perform any
work that would cause him to leave
the service of the road.

ment of such letrislataon as will ef
fectually destroy all trusts. The plat

William J. Kryan the support of Iowa Democrats for the presidency in IOCS. The ticket nominated follows: Governor, Claude It. Torter, Appanoose

Idaho Democrats Denounce Mormon-
ism as the Keynote Ticket and Points of the Platform.
Couer d' Alcne, Ida., Aug. 8. For
United States senator, Fred T. DuBois,
Bingham county; representative in
congress, Jtees llattaoaugn, iaano; justice of the supreme court, Stewart
S. Denninc; Latah: governor, C. O.
Stockslager, Blaine; lieutenant govern
or, George C. Chapin, Bingham; secre
tary of state, Flournoy Galloway,
Washington. After a strenuous two
day's convention the Democrats of
Idaho placed in nomination the fore
going ticket and adopted a platform in
which anti-Mormonism is the keynote.
It was a DuBois convention from first
to last.
The senator made a speech accept
ing the nomination, and said it was the proude-st day of his life. This
pride was because the convention was
anti-Mormon, and his speech was de
voted almost entirely to denunciation
of the Mormons, The platform in
dorses Bryan, favors municipal owner
ship and declares for a revision of
the tariff. It also demands that the
assassins of ex-Governor Steunenberg,
whoever they may be, shall be given
the limit of the law.
Had Never Seen an Elephant, and NeV' er IIa3 Hidden on a Railway Train.
Crawfordsville, Ind.. Aug. 8. While
watching a circus parade Frank Hes
ter, a farmer living near Kussellville,
said it was the first, time he had ever
seen an elephant or camel. He is 33 years okl and a man of family, but
his life has been devoted to daily toil
and his knowledge of wild animals, ether than those infesting the woods
about his native heath, had been lim
ited to an occasional glimpse or a cir
cus poster.
After witnessing the parade Hester had a desire to see the inside of the
circus tent, but since he was in Crawfordsville on business he denied him
self that new pleasure and hastened back to his evening chores. Aside from
his distinction in this line he boasts that he has never smoked or chewed tobacco or been inside of a saloon.
Neither has he ever experienced the
thrill of riding on a railroad' train
Hester is a man of average intelli
gence and reads enough to keep in fair
touch wit 11 current events, nut says
he has never had time to indulge in
the frivolities of life.

Of course One swallow Does r.ot make a summer; Neither. If anybody should ask you. Does one summer Make a swallow. Doesn't this canned wisdom Of the ancients That comes Wrapped in small packages Give you a pain? As a matter of fact. One swallow Never tried To make a summer Or even A week of spring. The swallowIs too busy Getting a living To be boosting Itself As the sole proprietor Of a summer factory When it Isn't. It knows that the government Pays experts Large sums of money To do nothing But make weather. So why Should It bother? Isn't it a strained And unreasonable Idea Anyway, When you come to think of it. That any one Should ever Have held the notion That one swallow. Unaided by a steam heating plant. Could have made a summer? A whole flock of them "Working for six weeks Couldn't, unaided.

He Didn't Do It. We are pleased to note that the court
martial has pronounced Rojestvensky, the Russian fleet admiral, not guilty, deciding that it wasn't his fault that Togo won the battle in the sea of Japan.
While it is admitted that Rojestvensky was among those present on that large occasion, yet all eyewitnesses,
whether they were on the ground or just qualified by looking at magazine pictures, agree that he was about as much responsible for what happened as the president of the United States is for a cyclone or a runaway horse. He didn't ask Togo to be present on
that joyous occasion and to bring his folks; hardly. In fact, he wasn't fixed to receive company. It was clearly a case of butt in on the part of the Japanese admiral, and the court martial did well and wisely in listing the Russian commander with the innocent bystanders.
