Best Short Story Evr Written, United States Senator Beveridge believes the Bible, as a literary work is rhe greatest book in the world. He spoke before an immens audience at Orchestra Hall at Chi'cago Sunday ndght at the meeting of the Sunday Evening club on "The Bible as Good Reading" remarking by way of introduction that he would not attempt to draw any religious deductions. "The Bible exercises a curious fascination over the mind of man," said Senator Beveridge, "for it speaks in elemental terms of men and women If you want a story of war, of love, or of adventure you can find it there. It has loing been a wonder to me that the Bühle is not more widely read for rhe vure sake of the erftertainment it affords." Senator Beveridge declared the story of Isaac and Rebekah had nev'er.been excelled fts a type of the short story. He placed the stories of Joseph the dreamer, and David and GoJiath in the same class. Referring to the story of Ruth, the senator sa'id: "If I could be permitte'd to give one word of advice to young women, it would be to read the booJc of Ruth at least once a month as long as they live. It is the best slhort story ever written." Takes Southern Trip. Mrs. James E.

The Spirit of Thanksgiving. Rev. Claude Shaver of Indianapolis, in his sermon on Thanksgiving Sunday motrning said: "Unless to day is celebrated with a feeling of the true spirit and meaning of Thanksgiving, . it becomes a mere hoKday, a colorless day oil from the other days (if the year. If it is not, the very name which the holiday is known by becomes a misnomer. I fear too many of us are losing sight af the fact that all holidays mean something and none has a deeper and more significant meaning than the day when all America eats the turkey and the -cranberry. f "Unless there is iiVtelliigence in the celebration of the occas-ion our actions can not be fitting for such a day. Unless the choir masters study the songs their choirs sing,, with a view to having them express a real spirit of thankfulness, even the music of our churches, through which we all are able to express our feelings loses its significance. All events which are to be'a pa of the celebration of this. holiday should be analyzed arid studied so that each one of them iwtll be appropriate in every detail." Dr. Shaver ridiculed the idea that Thanksgiving joy should be of the mute, suppressed kind. Ecstatic thanksgiving he saiJ. is always in order and proper. The person who thinks he can enjoy the day vMiout giving some outward expression f gratitude or joy, he said, has a'mistaken idea of his own possibilities. iBy shdwing that every Thanksgiving is the Thanksgiving of the average man, sönce few men rise above an average plane of financial success, Dr. Shaver, in his address Sunday morning declared it possible far all classes of people to participate with equal joy in the celebration of the holiday. A ifarrily in only moderate circumstances, Ire sa'id, shotdd show as much gratitude as it would have reason to show if it had the means of a 'wealthy neighbor. ' New Bank at Etna Green. Peter Halloway and Jacdb Ness went to Etna Green Thursday, where the latter is erecting a brick building which will be used af. a bank.

A 4.0Ü0.C00 WORD REPORT. t Summing Up of Counsel in Federal Suit to Dissolve Standard to Govern Decision.

The federal suit to dissolve the Standard Oil conypany, which reached a point of culminating interest within the lat few days with the testimonyoi John D. Rockefellei, bids fair to establish some remarkable records so far as legal archives are concerned. Because of Ihc length of the record ui testimony the United States Circuit Court judges will learn of the evidence only in the summing up of counsel ifor both sides. To read evidence which has -been taken would require constant reading by the judges for ten hours a day for many months. The official stenographer says the testimony totals nearly 4,r.00,000 words an addition to an equal number of -words and figures contained in the exhibits.. The taking of testimony was commenced in New York, Sept. 17, 1907, an'J has continued. ' with only a few brief recesses of the hearings, until the present time. The hearings will not conclude, however, until some time in February. Stork Calls on Ray. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Schlosser, a girl baby, Saturday morning.

Of course he will be abie to vote, but a wooden man with the proper machinery could do that. After election 'the 'Plymouth Chrooic!e published the following article, relative to 'Mr. Sarber: .Will Vote Republican Ticket. W. L. Sarber, representative elect, is soi outraged at Ciis own township, which gave a majority of 126 against him, that he declares he will never vote the Democratic ticket again, and furthermore, he will support the county option law and all Nother tein perance legislation which comes up n the legislature.

Dealer Who Sells a Combination Composed of a Large Per Cent of Water to Be Arrested. Oysters (is oysters from now on in Indiana. The ban has teen clamped on the adulterated oyster. H. E. Uarnard, State Food and Datg Commissioner, acting under the direction off the State Board of Health, Mon day issued 'the fol'owing notice to wholesale and reta'l oyster dealers: "At a conference of the food com missioners of the Central and West em States, held at Madison, W'is., September 20 and 30, the . following resolution was unanimously adopted by the commissioners of the Central and Western States held at Madison, Wis., September 29 and 30 the foJlcAving resolution was unanimously adopted by r.vc commissioners present: "Whereas, The addition of ice or water to shucked oysters has the effect of lowering and depreciating and injuriously affecting their strength, quality and purity; therefore, be it "Resolved, That such addition constitutes an adulteration and the sale of oysters so adulterated will be contested. "In line with this' resolution the wholesale and retail oyster dealers of this State are advised that t'.i-e addition of ice or water to shucked oysters constitutes an adulteration, and is a violation of the pure food law. "J)bers and dealers receiving oysters from packers are hereby instructed not to accept oysters to which ice or water has been added, and retailers are cautioned not to. add ice to oysters 'r to dilute them with water." Must Bef Solid Pack, Some time ago Mr. Barnard decided that oysters shipped into this State and sold here must be solid pack. He says it has always been the practice for shippers to put a large chunk of ice in a tub or bucket containing oysters for f.'iipment. When the oysters arrive at their destination the ice has melted and several gallons of water has thus been added to the contents. Tinen the retailer sells the oysters at so much a pint or quart, selling the water along with the oysters. Mr. Barnard says this must cease. A few weeks ago agents of the State laboratory purchased several quarts of oysters in various places and Jiad them anaylzed at the laboratory. Chemist Harry Bishop found that they ranged from 23 to CO per cent, water. This is denounced as an adulteration of an article of food, and :he warning issued is intended to end the practice. Mr. Barnard said that he would instruct his pure food inspectors of the State A.o look for violations of this order, and to prosecute the offenders. Sir Knights at Elkhart.
