One of the most remarkable things about these conventions annual and otherwise Is the fact that the bit? man or men advertised to appear fail to show up. Take any one of the big meetings that have been held in this country where a governor, a vice president or some other well-known public officer is widely advertised to put in an appearance, does the dignity come? No he does not. It looks as though the program-makers or the big men are very much at fault. Either they are imposed upon by their invited guest or else they impose upon him by advertising that he is coming when they know he is not. In either case the public is imposed upon. The last Incident of thi3 kind was where Gov. Ralston refused to come to the Associated Charities Conference in Gary after it was generally understood that he was to be there. BOYS' PIG CLUBS IN THE SOUTH. Now that the Department of Agriculture has its Boys' Corn Club and Its Girls Canning Club its latest venture is the Boys' Pig Club, now being organized in the South for the purpose of increasing the supply of pork and encouraging good breeding of hogs. Already clubs have been organized in Alabama and Louisiana, and a club organization has been started in George. It is the purpose of the officials of the department to organize clubs in every Southern State. The idea of the organization started with the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration branch, of the Depart ment and has been carried on with the co-operation of the Animal Hus bandry division of the Bureau of Animal Industry.

Mayor-elect Perry Sisson's picture will look well on the "boom Valparaiso 'literature. He is the J. Hamilton Lewis of Indiana. The Times asks: "Is Lake county going crazy?" Good Lord, man, it has been crazy ever since the Steel crowd struck it. Chesterton Tribune. TARIFF DISAPPOINTS. F. S. Betz, the Hammond manu facturer who returned from his sum mer trip to Europe a few days ago, is very much discouraged with the workings of the new tariff bill. Mr. Betz is a large importer of surgical instruments and other things which he sells to his patrons. He had expected that the reduction of the tariff would enable him to make a corresponding reduction in the price of his goods. On the contrary he finds that the people of Europe are delighted with the' new tariff bill. They are preparing to ship vast quantities of goods to America but they are absorbing the difference which the tariff makes and are making the price to Americans correspondingly high. For instance in the case of a pair of lens which Mr. Betz was buying, he found that the reduction in the tariff would ordinarily make the lens cost eighty cents less to the consumer in America. But the Germans who make them are now charging just 78 V4 cents more for the lens than they did before the tariff went into effect. Foreign manufacturing countries are exM. BURGER.

Wreckage from the ship, to which the body of one of tha erew was lashed, has washed ashor . eff Marquette, Mich. The steamer foundered off Keweenaw Point in the storm which recently swepv the laker. She carried a crew of twenty-eight men, all of which were lost, and 10,000 tons of ore. In appearance the Henry B. Smith was similar to the other boats that were lost tn the same big storm. The death list is now above 200. At leait a doze freighters were lost.

Governor Glynn says that he will advocate the direct primary and thus do away with conventions. What! Expect the country to get along without a New York state convention? Shades of Saratoga Springs! Decadent days are upon us. NEED M0EE LIGHT. See that an instructor In public speaking has been giving hints to orators. It's a bit late, with the campaign long gone by, but the ideas will no doubt come In handy later. The suggestions are: Choose an interesting subject. Think about It. Read about it. Talk about It. Make rough notes. Hake a brief. Write out speech in full. Avoid prejudice. Seek only the truth. Write in a direct style. Bo reasonably; concise. Aim at simplicity of style. Read the speech aloud. Rewrite and Improve it. Commit it to memory. Aim at clearna. The prlnclpalfebject of these hints, says the professor, is to avoid mistakes. ? It's a pity the "prof essor didn't also include instruction in how to avoid eggs; whether it is better to dodge or perform behind a net. THE RECESSION OF THE VULGAR DANCE. Nobody will contend that the onestep is a graceful dance. It lack3 the rhythmic qualities that make the waltz beautiful. But as it is gener ally danced today it is free from the reproach of indecency. Certain individuals of low disposition invest it with suggestlveness, but they are members of a division of mankind beicnd hope of redemption from the wallow in which they dwe!-. The fact is that a wholesome reform has accompanied the great and growing interest In dancing. Those contortions and wlggllngs that aroused the digust of the clean minded have been eliminated from polite society. Public opinion has compelled their recession to the Quarters whim are their natural habitation. Foresighted dancing teachers have contributed to their suppression. A year ago their restraint seemed next to impossible. Nov they are sea no more. Meanwhile there has been an t crease in the number of steps which even the occasional ballroom danc-1. wishes to master. Some of them cotstitute very intricate measures which in their entirety only the most -Jeioted students will rtiei.ipt. Tucve HEIR EYES AfcEit TH& STARS THAT

are, indeed, impracticable on a crowded floor, where the one-step, ugly but innocent, and the various adaptons of the waltz, erfna'Iy unobjectonable and in some developments interesting hold supremacy. The problem of chaperons and dance committees is not now what it was a twelvemonth ago. The alarming tendencies then so evident have been checked. The- coarse Intruder existed when the old fashoned waltz was at the height of its popularity. ;His treatment is not difficult. He would be with us were dancing not Indulged in to the amazing extent it now Is.

Mcari to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LUttlE

THE BLESSING OF THE SNOW. As the whiteness of the enow cover the decaying brown of the year, to does the whiteness of the hair lighten and glorify the closing years of human life. Under the benign covering of th snow Ilea the promise of the spring. Under the whitening thatch of the human habitation inheres, perhaps, tha certainty of a spring In another existence. The earth Is resurrected. The spirit shall lire. As you count the whitening hairs, consider -ach one as a suowflake, sent to cover with the beauty of the snow the decaying remains of the years that have passed. Wear them not with regret, but with the calm acceptance of the years that have passed and promise of the ages to come. To all who live comes in time the whitening of the hair. If you would live long you must face the fact that with the addition of years you enter old age. Regard it not as a burden or a source of regret, ' Be not as those of whom the German proverb says: "All would live long, but no one wishes to be old." Tbe Infirmities of age are many, It Is true, but are they not compensated by the gift of the added years in which to live, to thiDk, to feel? The ardor of youth and its vigor are replaced by the experience of age and its wisdom. All of these qualities have their places and their values. Each in Its own way la best Each has its own time for use. "Age la opportunity no. less than youth itself, though In another dress." It is jileasant to note that white hair among women is no longer considered a disfigurement. Indeed, the pendulum has swung to the other extreme, and fashionable women are vying with one another in assuming the virtue of white hair if they have it not naturally. Even young women with crowns of glory radiant In the colors of youth, blond, brunette and auburn, are Imi tating the whiteness of the hair of their grandmothers. They powder the hair to make it white. A put-sing fancy, of course, but It teaches ia some degree the lesson that there are honor and glory It the whitening of the hair. Sunday the Day of Rest. Sunday Is the common people's great liberty day, and they are bound to see to it that work does not come into it. Beecher. ICRrRTRK F-Ofl TUB TlWCti THB VI OHLY GIRlL. I
