The other day he had another so

dodged society since last Christmas, but being a faithful follower of the Crown Point baseball champions, he
was inveigled into attendance at a
banquet in honor of the team.
It was a swell affair and Editor Wheeler had to get into those glad rags again, and wear an overcoat. When he got to the banquet hall, all fussed up, Adonis had nothing on the
editor. The guests paused In admira
tion before him, but were unable to
understand the bulge around the co
collar at the back. An. investigation

Heart toHearfc Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE,
THE ONLY KICK. It has been a great trip for President Taft. We have already stated what we think about it and have only one amendment to make. We feel sorry that Mr. Taft, aftering visiting Squirrel Center, Gumshoe Corners and Podunk should have passed up Creamburg, SUeglitz Park and Lottaville. We feel that our subscribers ;ln these places have as much right to see a circus as anybody else.
"UNCLE SAM'S" PROMISE.
w. ti. Carey, of Hobart, solemnly
promises the electorate of the big town
that in the event of bis election as
irusiee inai ne win not Decome intoxicated during his term of office.
This announcement was printed in the
papers.
It is seldom that a n an is reformed by election to office and here is a chance for the people of Hobart to reform Carey. The well-known Hobart citizon admits that he becomes intoxicated once in a While, he fully appreciates the fact that the people of Hobart would not want adrunkard in office so with a frankness 'that Is characteristic of the man he announces that he is ready to pass up the flowing bowl if the people show confidence euough in him to elect,him. What we like about. Carey is the fact that he does not dodge the issue. He knows it is a personal one and he is willing to face thu music. That kind of a manhas enough of the real stuff in him to make a good public of-

DRAWBACKS OF SOCIETY.
Ones heart goes out to Lake county's veteran editor, familiarly and loving
ly known in Crown Point as .rohnny
Wheeler, in his latest soul anguish and
distress.
Nothing but sympathy is voiced for
him as with sad heart he whangs the
shooting stick, slippery with tears
and the dod-gasted mallet hits him
on the knuckle.
For years they have tried to get
the veteran editor Into society and he fought the efforts witU passionate
vigor. The six 'oclock dinner, the bridge party, the festive dance and other social diversions to which they dragged him palled upon him. They

THE ASS IN THE UON'3 SKIN. A young Ass, who live I at the tim.s when Aesop was on familiar terms with the animals, escaped from his master. Finding a dead Lion lying by the road, he arrayed himself In the LloVi skin and spread terror
around the countrysdie. Filled with conceit he set up a fearful braying which he thought resembled the roar of a Hon, but his master, recognizing his voice, took up a stout cudgel, gave him a sound beating, and soon made him sensible that he was no more than an Ass. I knew a college president wbo kept his job six years by looking wlj jvn saying nothing; but at the end of the sixth year, thinking he had the situation well In hand, he called a special meeting of the trustees and attempted to make some remarks. The trustees, recognizing his voice, took up a stout cudgel and soon made him sensible that he was no more than an Ass. Speech Is silver, but silence is golden, and whoso keepeth his own counsel happy is he; for he shall sit in the presence of kings. The first rule of a goed conversation Is to talk only about thone subjects upon which you are well Informed; and the rest of the time, listen. Boasting strengthens the voice, but lengthens the ears at the same time. The chief mark of ignorance Is to know too much; and the advice Hearst gave to T. R-. after Africa anl before Europe was much to the point "Keep your ears hidden and above all don't bray."

City, not noticing the approaching train.
The horse stopped in the middle of the track, refusing to go any further. The outfit was demolished. Shockney was hurled several feet and his skull fractured. ACCIDENT MAY BE FATAL. Thomas William Samuel, of Lafayette. 6 years old, son of William Samuel of Remington, is dying in St. Elizabeth Hospital, as the result of an automobile his father was driving colliding with a Btreet car. The boy was thrown out of the machine, and his

Paying a bet which they lost on the j

The girls are members of a social club and took a nactlve Interest in baseball affairs. 1 The members are reticent about the wager and some would not admit losing on the Giants. However, none denied enjoying the walk. Miss Edith Hennessy declared they had a fine time and
