THE IVY GREEN. a dainty plant is the Ivy green That creepeth o'er ruins old!

Of right choice food are his meals. I ween. In his cell so lone and cold. The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed. To pleasure his dainty whim; And the molderlng dust that years have made , Is a merry meal for him. Creeping where no life is seen, A .rare old plant Is the Ivy green. Fast he stealeth on, though h wears no wings. And a stanch old heart has he. How closely he twineth, how tight he clings. To his friend, the huge oak tree! And slyly he traileth along th ground, And his leaves he gently waves. As 'he joyously hugs and crawleth around The rich mold of dead men's graves. Creeping where grim death hath been. , A rare old plant la the try green. Whole ages have fled and their works decayed, And nations have scattered been; But the stout old Ivy shall never fade From Its hale and hearty green. The brave old plant on Its lonely days Shall fatten upon ' the past; For the" stateliest building that man can raise Is the ivy's food at last. Creeping on, where time has een, A rare old plant is the Ivy green. Charles Dickens. Roosevelt, who is about as conservative as LaFollette. is acceptable even to Wall street and Taft looms up stronger than ever. In the democratic party there are no Bryan or Hearst bogles to fear this year. Woodrow Wilson, the most radical of the candidates is not gaining ground and Champ Clark, who delivered the goods for the democratic party ,is making great headway. It is probable that the business In terests of the country would not regard it as a menace to future prosperity if Taft was elected. Champ Clark or Governor Harmon would cause as much distrust as the elec tion of a Bryan. So business is not vitally concerned In the coming election and It is likely that the political volcano wnicn every tour years tnrows a scare into the business centers of the country, will only have a moderate eruption this year. ' GOAT HOISTS AVIATOR. A correspondent of the Gallatin North Missourian, who calls himself The Aviator, had a painful experience with a goat the other day. He says "We succeeded in reaching a fence in time for the old son-of-a-gun to hit us about a 5,000-pound lick and we cleared that fence and landed on all fours out in the middle of the road.' THE GREEDY EXPRESS CO'S. Express shippers In this region, as elsewhere, will hail with delight the determination of the Indiana official to bring the companies to time. The haughty domineering express people have gouged their patrons long enough. In this connection the words of one of the interstate commerce commissioners are notable when he says "We are going to prosecute the ex press company for overcharging the public. This investigation was made for the purpose of developing the facts in this regard. If prosecutions were brought on every complaint that has been made to the co-prosecute the express companies for would be made bankrupt by the finest Imposed and driven out of business. The commis elon has 3,000 complaints of over charges and 10,000 letters are on file complaining of this practice "Your rates are unintelligible to the general public and your own employes do not understand them. One of the fruits of this investigation must be a system which is intelligible to an or dinary person "I know of one instance where a shipper prepaid $4.50 on an express shipment to Washington. When the uhlnniPtit roflfhod hr nnntlicr tl Rrt ... i was collected. A complaint was made j to the express company and a refund j of $2.20 was made.- What became of the remaining $2.30? "The system is so complicated that it is not understood by your own ' drivers, clerks and agents. I went to f -v, i . . ent rates were quoted on the same parcel." . " Strength to the commerce commission ! THAT'S all right, Mr. Wilson, you can roast Mr. Bryan, but we believe he will be running around this country idolized when you are a. dim memory.

WHENEVER some of our very best known people enter a private office nowadays, they look around for a dictograph. SOME men think that all they have to do to be a gentleman is to go to the barber and have their faces massaged.

The Royal Welsh Ladles' Choir, which, is to sing at the Hammond theater next Tuesday under the auspices of the Elks, is one of the iot wonderful musical bodies known. A Harrisburg paper says of them: "The program was one of exceptional merit, embracing compositions of a high standard, opening with the rousing "March of the Men of Harlech,' given with electric spirit and dash.' Yr Haf,' a glee by Gwent, which revels In beautiful vowel shades and which essentially characterizes this exquisite song, was rendered charmingly, the shading legitimately effective, the legato predominating, except where the Intensity of emotion breaks through In reproaches. Mendelssohn's 'I Waited for the Lord' was sung passionately and intense With plenty of dpth. The remaining chorus work was given with expression recognized with a nobleness of purpose, or tenderness of pathos, that carries purity and conviction, without infringing upon the temple of tradition. They came, they sang, they conquered. It is almost impossible to compliment sufficiently the ladles of this company. Individually or collectively, to do Justice to their delightful singing. They have been praised enthusiastically by the exacting critics, and their singing here last night fully justified the good things said about them. From the beginning to the end of their program they were applauded heartily, and their good nature in responding to the encores was so great that they must have doubled the bill."

Les, now you stop It. You are trespassing upon the preserves of a Gary contemporary. THE California legislature has eelded that women voters needn't state the color of their hair when they vote. The way the hair of some women changes half the fair voters would have dark hair at registration time, gray in between, and blonde on election day. THE cash register men have been Indicted.

The election returns from the 147 lodges of the Indiana United Mine Workers at Tere Haute are In, but will remain sealed until the teller meet a few days before the annual convention March 12. Election officers of enough lodges have made known unofficially their respective results, however, to leave little doubt of the reelection of the present officers, although friends of William Huston, of West Terre Haute, are claiming thst he has defeated W. D. Van Horn for president. , George W. Lackey, vicepresident, and Charles Fox, secretarytreasurer, are re-elected beyond a doubt. It seems certain that executive board members Raney, Shell and Church have been re-elected, but Donie may have been defeated by Kelsheimer, of the Clinton field.
