Real Noble County Product.
t Dr. J. B. Luckey of Wolf Lake No‘ble county’s candidate for state representative on the democratic ticket is gaining daily in popularity over thec ountry. Dr. Luckey is a product of Noble county having been born and raised on a farm. For five years he taught school in this and Whitley counties after which he took up thc study of medicine and graduated Ain 1892 from the Medical College of Indiana. For thirty years he has practiced medicine at Wolf Lake, where he owns and operates a farm. & ~ Br. Luckey has pledged himself" to seek aid for the farmers of this:Section who have been sorely tried in the matter of legislation in the last few years, and to be untiring in his efforts to place before the pcople a just tax law which we are in great need of’ at this time.
-A repeal of the present unsatisfactory tax law is pledged in the democratic platform and a return to the county ‘in which itis assesed of all monies derived from automobile licenses so that it may be used on the county highways. All such revenue should be turned into the county treasurey for the county’s sole benefit, an dthis will be done if the next legislature is democratic. A vote for Dr. Luckey is a vote to bring these things about. ; .
Earl Boze Acecident Vietim.
- Earl Boze of Geneva was quite badly injured and Floyd Kline and brother of Kendaillville sustained minor Injuries Thrusday morning when the automobile driven by Floyd Kline collided with the Judson Itt machine in thatc ity. It is said the two - machines were enroute south and the accident occurred when the driver of one machine attempted to pass the other. One rear wheel of the Itt machine was damaged. The car driven by Kline turned over and the occupants were pinioned peneath. Boze a guests of the Kline Brothers had one shoulder painfully bruised and may possibly be suffering from .internal injuries. He was taken to Lakeside hospital. ; :
Protection Largely a Fraud.
© That “the tariff is a tax’”’ no one now pretends to deny, and the tax 18 paid by the consumer with most of the proceeds going into the coffers of the big interests. The so called protection the law affords inures to the benefit of the big manufacturing combinations. The feeling is general among the people that- the new tariff will work a hardship on the consumer and all classes of citizens come under this head. It will be. a wonder if the voters do not rebuke the party responsible for the new tariff iniquity.
Roof Falls, Boys Injured.
Stanley Moore 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Moore of Elkhart sustained three fractures to his left arm and two others, Emil Stoll and Chester Seilon both of about the same age received lesser injuries when tle roof over the doorway of a condemned school in that city gave way under the weight of a number of other boys playing on it and crashed down on the trio who were standing beneath.

FOR WAR ON “LONG KNIVES”
Cache Where Indians Had Gathered Munitions Found in Cave in Wayne County, Kentucky, :
Rulns of what once was a flourishing “muniticns factory” are sheltered in a cave 14 miles east of Mill Springs, in Wayne county, Kentucky, in the opinion.ot Prof. A. M. Miller, head of the department of geology at the University of Kentucky. This “factory,” according to. Professor Miller, produced arrow heads to tip the shafts of Indian braves whose no man’s land, in the days before the squirrel rifle supplanted the bow, was Kentucky. ; Professor Miller returned recently from a trip to Wayne county, where he prospected for caves, rockhouses and old Indian village sites, favorable ground for the finding of extinct mammalian remains, ’ : “Two rockhouses and one cave were examined,” he said. “In one of these, about fourteen miles east of Mill Springs, numerous arrow heads in various stages of completion were scattered at a shallow depth over the floor, furnishing evidence that this shelter formerly was an arrow head workshop of aborigines.” . The' other rockhouse also gave evidence of having been a popular resort of the aborigines. Human bones found in the cave lead to the belief that it had been used as a burial place.
SCARED BY UNUSUAL SOUND
Music (?) of Motor Horn Drove Lions From Oxen Which Had Seemed to Them Easy Prey.
The toot of a single motor horn has been found. sufficient, in Africa, to quiet stampeded oxen and cause a trio of flesh-hunting lions to slink -away into the bushes. o
Two native . drivers - were recently conducting a wagon drawn by sixteen oxen to the railroad camp, in the wilds near Nakuru, the site of the new Uasin Gishu- railroad, when the oxen were attacked by three lions. The drivers fled to nearby . trees. The oxen became panic-stricken and dashed down the rough road, dragging along the body of one ox, killed by the lions, with the swaying wagon behind them. The lions followed their prey. _This was the mad procession that greeted a lone motorist at a curve of the road. He had no rifle, and it was almost an unconscious movement that took his hand to the horn button. At the first sound the Hons seemed nonplussed. The motorist then blew loud and long. As. the uncanny and sustained shriek rose above the clamor of ‘the frightened animals the lions slunk away among the rocks, headed for the shelter of the bush, and the oxen swung clear of the dust-covered automobile and came to a Stop at the side of the road. e

VELVET JACKET WAS SYMBOL
Worn by Stevenson, According to Writer, as Protest Against the i Tyranny of Fashion.
Thus gallantly “he appears in my mind’s eye when I pause in rereading one of his books and summon up a fantasm ‘of the author—Robert Louis Stevenson, gentleman adventurer in life and letters, his brown eyes shining In a swarthy face, his lean, longenduring body adorned with a black velvet jacket, Henry Van Dyke writes in Scribner’s. -
This garment is no disguise, but a symbol. It is short, so as not to impede him with entangling tails. It is unconventional, as a °protest against the tyranny of fashion. But it is of velvet, mark you, to match a certain niceness of choice and ‘preference of beauty—yes, and probably a touch of bravura in all its wearér’s vagaries. 'Tis like the silver spurs, broad sombrero and gay handkerchief of the thoroughbred cowboy—not an el¢ment of the dandiacal, but a tribute to romance. Strange that the most genuine of men usually have a bit of this in their composition; your only 'incurable poseur being the fellow who affects never to pose and betrays himself by his attitude of scorn. Of course Stevenson did not always wear this symbolic garment. In fact the only time I met him in the flesh his clothes had a discouraging resemblance to those of the rest of us at the Authors’ club in New York. And a few months ago, when I traced his “footprints on the sands of time” at Waikiki beach, near Honolulu, the picture drawn for me by those who knew him when he passed that way, was that of a lank, barefooted, brighteyed, sun-browned man who daundered along the shore:in white-duck trousers and a shirt wide open at the neck. But the velvet jacket was in his wardrobe, you may be sure, ready for fitting weather and occasion.
EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Recommend Use of Liquid Air as Best Means of Getting I at Delectable Kernel.
Liquid air for cracking nuts i the latest application of science. Science and Invention relates that experts at the national bureau of standards in ‘Washington were appealed to for a method of breaking the shells of chicha nuts without damaging the kernels. They found that it took a weight of nearly a won to crack the shells, and that after that effort the meat of the nut was broken in many small pieces. , : Then they applied Mquid air to the problem. They did not freeze solid a piece of rubber and use it as a ham: mer, as is done in the classic stunt of physics, but they simply immersed the nuts in ‘liquid: air for 80 seconds and cracked them easily without damage to the Kkernels. ‘Now the physicists are trying to find out whether this method can be applied commercially on a large scale. ; ; Chicha nuts are grown in South America. Their dense, strong shells were used during the war to make charcoal for gas masks, and the oil from the kernels is a valuable food similar to copra. :
When my small daughter became interested in our ages I laughingly told her that I was sixteen and daddy twenty-one. After she learned to count she added a year as the birthdays came around. )
One day while she was playing at & neighbor’'s the woman of the housg sald: “Mary, do you know how old your mother is?” o Mary answered: ‘Nineteen.” : “Qh, she is older than that, Mary, I'll bet she is twenty-six or twentyseven.” : :
Mary came home and told me: of the conversation. After my resentment of my neighbor’s lnqulsitivem‘z% had subsided I was amused at the wfiintended compliment. I am thirty-five. —Exchange. . i
- . American Silks. ( There are some interesting phases of the official statistics with reference to the manufacture of silk goods in the United States, particularly those that hayve to do with the early history of that industry. ‘
_ It appears that the making of silk goods in our country has grown rapidly since the year 1860. At that time only 15 per cent of the silk used in the United States was homemade. In 1870 the percentage of home manufactured gilk had doubled; in 1880 it had become more than 50 per cent; in 1890, 70 per cent, while at present it is estimated to be In excess of 85 per cent. g

MIGHT BE MONARCH OR CAT
Officlals of Spanish Royal Palaces o’%fifim in ‘!‘-gelr Investigation * -of Sounds at Night. : One day, so the story goes, a member of the royal household of Madrid heard noises below. He rose and went downstairs, | ‘ “It must be the caty” he thought, though as a rule the cat was not permitted 'to wander about the place at its discretion. They must bhave forgotten to lock it up. Suppose it -should wake the king! - Fearful thought| Conceive thé royal anger! The official hurried through the dark passages, and at last tracked the sound to the pantry. “Aha—now I've got you!” he whispered; as he opened the door—and beheld the king rummaging around for food! s !
If the above story is not true, it is at least founded on fact, for the king of Spain sometimes feels hungry in the middle of the night, and when the pangs become poignant, he seeks royal Joints, as you or I would seek the humbler biscuit. Going Into the royal pantry, he will tear off the leg of a cold fowl, or quietly carve himself a slice of meat, :
“We never know,” said an offictal who figures in the story, “whether it is the cat or the kingi”—London Anawirs ; Sl
RECEIVED DOLE FROM ENEMY
Irish Irregulars Stopped In the Middie of Fighting to Draw Thelr | - Unemployment Pay.
For several years the unemployed in Ireland, as in Britain, haveefin receiving a government dole w Y, relates Niall Ronan In the Outlook, The provisional government has cont tinued- this. Despite the difficulties of distributing it during the recent trouble, it was very anxious that it should not be stopped, lest any excuse should be given for looting. 1 ~ One of the district offices was therefore opened—not more than 25 yards from Moran’s hotel, an irregular stronghold, now destroyed. After seveéral hundred men had quietly entered, undismaye¢d by the rifle fire from the national And rebel forces outside, and signed for and received their money, Seven republicans came calmly across from the hotel, showed that they were entitled to payment, were paid, and returned to their duties as enemy soldiers of the government whose money lay in their pockets. :
Crowding Insects.
Man, calling himself the master of nature, may yet be involved in a life-and-death struggle with insects for possession of the globe—and in some ways sclentists declare insects are better fitted than men for survival on earth. Baked beans at a dollar a portion! Is the plebelan bean to be driven from its present democratic company into the ranks of the aristocracy? This possibility is suggested by the recent invasion of the southern portion of the United States by the Mexican bean beetle, a bandit pest of the first magnitude that now has gained a firm foothold and is already at work in a limited territory, underminlng natural resources with such telling effect that the final outcome is a matter of grave concern. Beans of all kinds are being attacked by this bandit—a kind of ladybug—and entire crops are being wiped out.
That Word “Hysteria.”
There is a lot of scientific truth pertaining to the physical nature of woman, concealed in the word hysteria. The classic origin-of the word is the ancient Greek *“hysteria,” the womb. The sexual or mother nature of woman is indicated in the word as the origin of the laughter, the tears and the contradictory coenduct implied by the word hysteria. When a man is called “hysterical,” therefore, the implication is plainly. conveyed that he is acting under the impulses, understandable and excusable (though sometimes extremely annoying) in a woman, but not permissible in.'a person of the male persuasion.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
Bad Teeth as a Raclal Trait.
Do poor teeth run in races? According to a report made by Dr. A. W. Schoenleber of the medical department of the Standard Oil company to the Eugenic Research association there is a racial difference in resistance to dental decay as shown by an examination of 2,758 men of various nationalities. - . The gleaming whiteness of the negro’s teeth is not just contrast with his black skin, these figures show, as the greatest proportion of perfect teeth was found among the Afro-Americans. Polish and Austrian Jews showed the next highest percentage of excellent teeth, while English, German, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish subjects showed very feeble resistance to decay. The Irish had the worst teeth of all.
Why Hoover Sent Corn to Russia.
. Semepne asked Mr., Hoover recently why he sent corn to Russia instead of wheat. “Because,” replied the secre tary of commerce without a moment’s " hesitation, “for one dollar I can buy 80 many ealories”—carrying it out to the “third decimal place—"in corn, and only 80 many”—again to the third decimal ‘place—*in wheat. I get about twice as -many in corn as in wheat.”—From “Behind the Mirrors.” :
