"Well," said the prospective purchaser, "if that is the only thing you want to know you might Just as well have got wise long ago.

A large audience was in attendance. AN AMERICAN HERO. He Used His Own Body to Stop Leak In a Ferryboat. One morning In January, when the Ice In the Hudson river ran unusually heavy, a Hoboken ferryboat slowly crunched her way through the floating floes until the thickness of the pack choked her paddles In mldriver. It was an early morning trip, and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the driveways choked with teams. The women and children standing Inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the swinging doors. While she was gathering strength for a further effort an ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered a point and crashed Into her side, cutting her below the water line In a great V shaped gash. A moment more and the disabled boat careened from the shock and fell over on her beam, helpless. Into the V shaped gash the water poured a torrent It seemed but a question of minutes before she would lunge headlong below the Ice. Within 200 yards of both boats and free of the heavy ice steamed the wrecking tug Reliance of the Offshore Wrecking company, and on her deck forward stood Captain Scott When the ocean tug reversed her engines after the collision and . backed clear of the. shattered wbeelbouse of the ferryboat he sprang forward, stooped down,' ran his eye along the water line, noted in a flash every shattered plank, climbed . Into the pilothouse of his own boat and before the astonished piI6t could catch his breath pushed the nose of the Reliance along the rail of the ferryboat and dropped upon the latter's deck like a cat With a threat to throw overboard any man who stirred he dropped 'Into the engine room, met the engineer halfway up the ladder, compelled him to return, dragged the mattresses from the crew's bunks, stripped off blankets and snatched up clothes, overalls, cotton waste and rags of carpet cramming them Into the great rent left by the tug's cutwater. It was useless. Little by little the water gained, bursting out first below, then On one Aide, only to be calked out again and only to rush In once more. Captain Scott stood a moment as if undecided, ran his eye searchlngly over the engine room, saw that for his needs it was empty, then deliberately tore down the' top wall calking he had so carefully built up and before the engineer could protest forced bis own body Into the gap. with his arm outside level with the drifting Ice. An hour later the disabled ferryboat, with every soul on board, waa towed Into the Hoboken slip. When they lifted the captain from the wreck he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood, and the floating ice bad torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist When the color began to creep back to his cheeks he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages: "Wus any of them babies hurt?" A month passed before he regained his strength and another week before the arm had healed so that be could get bis ooat on. Then he went back to the Etilance. E v ery body arigaajpe.

Special Session May Be Work Of Hanly to Block Local Man. HOSPITAL CASE A CAUSE. SAID GOVERNOR THOUGHT CAMPFIELD WOULD GO BEFORE THE NEXT LEGISLATURE ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT

Madison, Ind., Sept 17. 5. M. Campfield, formerly of Richmond is said to be taking a great interest in the political game now being played in this state. According to reports Campfield's sally into the political arena Is a desperate effort on his part to relieve himself of the financial troubles which have beset him for some time past. Early In March, Governor Hanly forfeited Campfield's contract for building the Southern Indiana insane hospital at Madison. This action followed a bitter controversy between Campfield and his attorney, James P. Goodrich, on one part and the hospital commission, of which the governor is one of the members, on the other. It is alleged that Campfield owes more than $70,000 for materials furnished and work done on the buildings in Question and that forty or more suits have been tiled against him. It is also stated that the Peoples Trust company of Winchester, Ind., of which Mr. Goodrich is president, holds a mortgage of $75,000 on Campfield's property, most of which is in Richmond. It is said that Campfield's political activity is due to the fact that be planned to go before the next legislature and ask reimbursement for the forfeiture of his hospital contract It is now whispered that Governor Hanly was greatly influenced in calling a special session of the legislature because he feared Campfield might be successful in influencing the next legislature. It is stated that the present legislature at Its extra session would not dare make a settlement with Campfield on the eve of an election, so the governor it is alleged, plans to have the matter settled at the extra session and settled in a manner that will not be at all pleasing to Campfield. PARIS CABBIES. The War of Words That Comes When They Block Each Other. There is no more entertaining way to spend an Idle hour in Paris than to get Into a taxicab and Instruct the, driver to go along some street where you will be reasonably sure to get into a Jam or to bump against another cab. The charm of the experience is, of course, enhanced by your ignorance of what the cabbies say. Should your driver merely graze the wheels of another cab he will turn on bis seat and yell mellifluously at the other driver, who In turn will shout back an assortment of vowels. But the best is a quarrel between two cabbies obstructing each other's way. The conversation, translated as nearly literally as Is safe, goes In this wise: "Sacred name! Why do you?" "Holly blue! I do not!" "Stomach on the ground I Tou have the face of an ox!" "Blue stomach! Are you In chains 7" "A bas! Name of a dog!" "Mon DIeu! Name of a pig!" "Wow (or words to that effect)l Name of a name!" "A thousand deaths! Name of a name of a name!" , Now you begin to expect some doings. While you have not fully understood, you are satisfied that nothing but pistols and knives will wipe out the Insults. Unfortunately about this time the jam Is untangled and you are allowed to drive away, but the other driver yells after yours: "Aha! You are a little piece cf brown soap!" It seems that this expression Is the "fighting name" In Paris. Were It not that your cabby owes a duty to you and must convey you to your destination you know by his facial expression that he would climb down and get that other cabby and muss up the city with him. He contents himself with turning about and making a face in the direction of his enemy and of going through the motion of spitting at him. Then be says ToopP te tue horse, and the war is over.

This meeting will be addressed by E. S. Shumaker of Indianapolis, president of the State AntiSaloon League. The object of the meeting is to arouse public Interest in the fight for county local option. A Lesson In Patience. When the eminent botanist. Professor Altman of Glasgow, was a small boy, he had the present of a silver bit. whereupon his mother was so worried with questions as to what he should do with it that she exclaimed, "Really, you bad better go to Thomas Elliot's (a well known pharmacist) and buy sixpence worth of patience." Down the street marched the lad and demanded of the chemist, ""Sir. Elliot, please give me sixpence worth of patience." Mr. Elliot, taking In the situation at a glance, said: "Certainly, my boy; there's a chair. Just sit down and wait till you get it." Professor Aitman's endeavor to purchase patience was a greav success. It made a deep impression on the lad and was one of the factors of his success In life. Outreaioning Reason. Little Raymond's mother had told him that she should put him to bed if he disobeyed her command in a certain matter. Temptation overcame him, and when his mother proceeded to fulfill her duty sobs of anguish filled the room. "But, Raymond," said the mother gently, "I told you I should punish you In this way If you disobeyed, and mother must keep her word, you know." Between muffled sobs Raymond man aged to say, "You needn't break your word, mamma, but couldn't you change your mind?" Woman's Home Companion. The Tactful Doctor.

TO HAVE EVERYTHING READY FOR THE CALL FOR BIDS ON NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING BY OCTOBER 1. At a meeting of Richmond school board which was held last evening at the offices In the Garfield school building, the plans for the new high school building that have been completed by HasecoEter and Kaufman were presented. The plans call for between $100,000 and $120,000. This was considered too much by the school board. A number of changes were made but no definite decision was arrived at A number of minor matters were settled by the board and the meeting adjourned. The board hopes to have the specifications and the plans completed by the last of this month so that the contract will be cpen for bids by. the first of October.

In the same manner, talk of Insisting upon the TODAY

Among the democrats a question being agitated almost as much, as that of standing pat on the temperance Issue, Is that of the repeal of th metropolitan police law. ' The democrats are prepared to make a great fight over this and today are seeking to learn what republican support they can obtain on the proposition, it Is remembered that they had almost. If not quite, enough, to pass the repealing law over the governor's veto two years ago. It la even hoped to bar a, this bilL Carroll K. McCulIough. representative from Madison county, who m i uo ugui iw uiv out w uia ouvr occasion will do so again. He says he has an abundance) of republican support. McCulIough declared his Intention, also, to attempt to obtain the repeal of the cities and towns act. Th effort of himself and others to accomplish this at the regular session failed, but only after one- of the biggest fights the session knew. Aa tending to defeat any such scheme, there is a strong feeling on the part of most members, readily expressed, that the thing to do Is to hurry through the imperative business of the special session and adjourn. Senator Roscoe EL Klrkman, of Richmond, finds many of his way of thinking, rli: that the special appropriations act, the night rider question and the county local option question are the only things that should be given consideration. Elections Discussed. " The special elections being held today to fill the vacancies In the house and senate were the subject of considerable discussion. Representative Fitch, from Muncle, arrived late, having been detained helping Dr. Hugh A. Cowing In his effort to defeat his democratic opponent, Williamson, for the seat of representative CannlchaeL resigned. The fight Is one of the hottest Delaware county bas known, due to the remarkable personal popularity of the democratic candidate and the solid backing he has received from the liberal element. it naa oeen expected mat a successor to Jesse McKlnney, of Jay county, might need to be elected, but McKlnney has wired that he Is on bis way home from Portland.
