When a newspaper advertises Itself as the only medium in which duplication may be avoided, it is a pretty safo plan to ask to see its circulation. Take- the hint. ' Terro Haute's mayor was ousted by council by a vote of G to 3. The name of the mayor Is Ilidaman and he is something of ti corker from all newspaper accounts. He Is given to picturesque figures of speech and when Informed . that council had pulled the executive chair from beneath his portly frame, ho rose up In meeting, walked Into the council chamber and in effect said that he would stay there until Hades froze. Owing to the fact that his term expires two months henco Mayor Bldaman will not Bee Hades become congealed, but.it seems likely that he will retain his scat until the term ends. The mayor is alleged' to have winked at law breakers, or at leust has declined to rigidly enforce the laws and council kicked him out. It develops, however, that the Terre Haute council has never before stood pat on the law enforcement proposition and the chargo is made that It was not so much in behalf of civic purity that the action was taken as it was to got even with Bidaman for some of his alleged acts which did not please the body. Bunko methods, nothing less, seem to have been employed by the American Mutual Life Insurance Company of Elkhart which has just been put out of business by the order of the Auditor of State. Many alluring promises were held out to prospective policy holders in the literature .they were privileged to peruse, but the manner In which the resources of the company were handled indicated to the State officers that unless a policy holder diet pretty quick his estate would not profit thereby. Few of the policy holders wanted to die just to get their money out of the company, so the State Auditor put on the clamps. Some of the officers of the company are now under Indictment for making what are alleged to be false reports to the auditor of State. At the Chicago meeting of the Independent Telephone Companies now in progress at Chicago the woes of theso "anti trust" concerns were air ed. Some of the methods which the independents charge that the Bell Interests are using to keep down competition are as follows: Warning letters to men who an nounce their intentions of forming independent companies, threatening financial ruin. Sending emissaries to become offi cials of independent companies, create dissension, and sell out to '"the trust." Offers of cash payments to inde pendent suDcriuers 10 substitute a Bell Instrument for that of the local company. Subsidizing certain newspapers and paying for the publication of unfair statements. Obtaining control of supply compa nles notably tho Kellogg Switch board and Supply "Company without tho knowledge of its nominally con trolling officials. Have Returned Home. F. J.

When we are in love we doubt often of the thing which we believe most. Adversity Is the school of knowledge, and Seneca says: "He that never was acquainted with adversity, has seen the world but on one side, and is Ignorant of half the scenes of nature." Cicero remarks that not to know

Knowledge is the ornament of the rich, and the riches of the poor. The world is one great university. BUSY HARVESTING IN RUSH Oats Will be Short But Timothy Will be Above the Average Wheat Above Expectations. Rushville, Ind., June 28. (Spl) The wheat harvest Is on in Rush county, and the crop is above expectations. The heads are well filled and the bundles are heavy. The yield will probably exceed that of last year, The clover harvest has been delayed by rains, and since the wheat harvest is on the farmer's work Is doubled. The oats crop in this country will be short, although there are some good fields. Since the recent rains the timothy has shown improvement, and tho crop will probably reach the average. , .$ '""" DEAD MEN'S SHOES. Peealiar Beliefs About Them That Exist In the Old World. "Dead men's shoes" is a common expression, but means much in many parts of tb old world, where the boots of the dead are accorded, much importance. In Scotland, In the northern parts of England, In Scandinavia, as well as la Hungary, Croatia and Itoumnnia, the utmost care Is taken among the lower classes that each corpse Is provided with a pair of good shoes before being laid into the ground. If the dead person happens to be a tramp and to have been found dead barefooted there will always be some charitable soul to furnish a pair of good boots for interment along with the corpse. An Inspector of police in Scotland, has been known to purchase of his own accord a new pair of boots and to place them In tho grave, reopened for tho purpose, of a murdered stranger who had been Inadvertently interred barefooted the day before. This practice, which likewise prevails among the Tslganes as well as In many parts of Asia, is attributable to the belief that unless the dead are well shod when buried their ghosts come back to haunt the locality where they breathed their last In search of a pair of boots. The shoes are popularly supposed to be needed to pass in comfort and safety-the broad plains which the departed soul must traverse before it can reach paradise. Among some nations these plains are declared to be covered with furzes, thorns and morass, while ptber races say that they consist of burning sands. These plains of suffering are popularly credited with forming a sort of antechamber to hell. It is for this reason that the boots of the dead are called "hell shoes" in Norway," Sweden, Finland and Denmark. PITH AND POINT. You will usually find this in the obituary of a successful business man: "He did not mingle in society." The best you can do isn't going to help you very much unless It is better than some other man's best. Expecting a favor done in the past to help you any is a good deal like relying for assistance upon a ghost, Cariosities of Woman. Women pin from left to right; men from right to left. Women button from right to left; men from left to right. Women 6tlr from left to right (their tea, for instance); men from right to left Women seldom know the difference between a right and a left shoe, and if a housemaid brings tip a man's boots she will nine times out of ten place them so that the points will diverge. Can these peculiarities be explained? London Truth. SONGS OF THE PEN

LIFE AND LOVE. ' . fly Richard Realf. There is something to live for and something to love Wherever we linger, wherever we rove; There are thousands of sad ones to sheer and sustain Till hopes that were hidden beam o'er them again. There is something to live for and something to love. For the spirit of man is like garden or grove. It will yield a sweet fragrance, but still you must toil And cherish the blossoms and culture the soil. There is something to live for and something to love, 'Tis a truth which the misanthrope ne'er can disprove; For tho thorns and thistles may choke up the flower. Some beauty will grace the most desolate bower. Then think on it, brother, wherever thou art. Let the life be for men and the love for the heart; For know that the pathway which leads us above. Is something to live for and something to love.

10 5 15c 10c some Slips of the Tongue. Never use the word "liable" when you mean "likely." Do not say, fox instance, that "he. is liable to come in at any moment." "Liable" implies misfortune and means "exposed to," "subject to," "in danger of." Why do most of us speak of "unraveling a mystery?" Any good die tionary shows that "ravel" means "to unweave." You "ravel" a mystery, therefore, when you solve it. In "Hamlet" Shakespeare says: "Make you to ravel all this matter out." If you and your friend Smith know a man called Jones, do not speak to Smith of "our mutual friend" meanlug Jones. Jones is your common friend. If you are friendly to Smith and Smith Is friendly to you, you and Smith are "mutual friends," but that is the only sense In which the term maj be rightly used. Chinese Kames. Names of Chinese provinces have a personal interpretation, the same as Indian names. For example, the Kansuh province signifies sweet, sedate, while Chill translated reads direct rule, and Anhwei means peace-glory. .

nn Jul UNTIL MUSIC AT SEA. Conditions Under Which Ships Sails Sometimes Sins. Some curious facts have been noted with regard to the sound conducting qualities of ships' sails. When rendered concave by a gentle breeze, the widespread sails of a ship are said tobe excellent conductors of sound. A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil, far out of sight of land. Suddenly several of the crew. While walking along the deck, noticed that when passing and repassing a particular spot they always heard with great distinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung but a short distance away. - Dumfounded by this phenomenon, they quickly communicated the discovey to their shipmates, but none of them was able to solve the enigma as to the origin of these seemingly mysterious sounds which came to them across the water. Months afterward, upon returning to Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy their curiosity. Accordingly they mentioned the circumstance to their friends and were informed that at the time when the sounds were heard the bells in the cathedral of San Salvador, on the coast, had been ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored by a gentle, steady breeze,- had traveled a distance of upward of 100 miles over the smooth water and had been brought to a focus by the sails at the particular locality in which the sweet sounds were first heard. This is but one of several instances of a similar kind, trustworthy authorities claiming that this same music is often heard under somewhat the same circumstances and especially in a moisture laden atmosphere. London TitBits. Fnicllah Regard For Teaching. If there is one occupation which Englishmen are unanimous in condemning as degraded and degrading it is that most fascinating, most difficult, delicate and important work, the training of the mind. In what are humorously called "the higher walks" of teaching there are respectable salaries to be earned and agreeable rooms or houses for occupation, nere, purged of the dross at utility, a man may once more take risk as a gentleman, and if he becomes bead of a house the su preme uselessness of his position commands universal and silent respect. Nineteenth Century. "Ancient Roses. Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist, while excavating among some ancient Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roses which had been bound into a garland and buried with the dead thousands of years ago. M. Crepin, the botanist and microscopist, made a careful examination of this queer find and prepared a paper on it which he read before the Royal society of. Belgium. From this paper It appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they still retained their color as well as a very faint odor. The species to which they belong is now extinct, but a rose resembling them in several particulars is still crown Id Egypt and Abyssinia.
