THE GREAT NATIONAL GAME "The game Is never over until the game is played." The football team of Yale college has a maxim which applies to political ballotting and elections. "The Yale team is never beaten until time is called." And, too. as that immortal character of Indiana politics said in George Ade's "County Chairman," "Claim everything you haven't got, and concede nothin.' " The time is not so far In the past as to be forgotten when the election of Tilden and Hayes was undecided for days and the whole country seethed with unrest. The tensity "of the situation grew as the conflicting bulletins of the press came out, until the riots and nervous excitement threw business to the four winds and In the city of New York the papers stopped publishing bulletins at the request of the mayor of New York. , And so on the eve ' of election the whole country stops Its worry about the petty round of affairs and pauses to await the answer with bated breath. Great Interests are at stake. Two of the most Interesting figures in American life today are pitted for conflict, the like of which no country has as a parallel. In Wall street, in the shops. In the farmhouse all Is expectancy. Never before has there been such a campaign.- The ominous silence of the people, the apparent apathy . have not meant what even the keenest political observers have been wont to scribe to them. It is the silence of people who have made up their mind3 and who are not changed on the spur of the moment All signs fall Id dry weather, and all

signs are worthless In a quiet campaign.

And yet there Is a very splendid spectacle in a presidential election. Every four years the people come to a realization of the things which have been done in the last administration and they look ahead to the fate of the country for the next period. It was the optimism of the founders of our United States which led to this system and that optimism is still our heritage. A famous English essayist said that there are only two romantic things in life that of getting married and posting a letter. He declared that these were romantic because they were irrevocable he might have added that the casting of a ballot holds in it more romance than either, for here a man's irrevocable vote is cast and by that action the man stops for a moment to be a part of the great game of the nations he is making history. There is something about this very aspect of an election which makes It so very terrible, which gives it the excitement of a far greater gambling ioterest than a horse race. "Watch, gentlemen, the wheel Is spinning where will It stop?" "But the game is never over until the game is played." How many a man has done Doc Sifer's stunt. "Doc's public sperit when the sick's not takln' all his time, And he's got some for politics is simple, yet sublime He'll talk his principles and they air honest, but the sly Friend strikes him first, election, day, he'd commodate or die." lead to Heart Talks.

The slum kid put one hand on a ragged undershirt and the other on one leg of a pair of trousers fastened with a safety pin and each leg silt from the bottom to the kneehis Sunday best The New York Fresh Air fund people were sending fifty poor boys to Vermont for a two weeks outing. This boy's mother, who "bad seen better days," wanted him to go, but "Gee, de odder boys '11 have rags witch Is better dan dese, an" The poor lad flushed and turned away. The medical director solved that problem. He took the boy to a Hudson street hop. and the latter selected a pair of blue jeans trousers and a blue gingham blouse. His eyes shone. "But I ain't got any money," lie had eald w hen entering the store. He was astonished when told the clothes were gift He said his cap belonged to his brother. A blue serge cap was added to the outfit The cost of Little Boy Blue's uniform was 75 cents. He walked home with a strange look on his shrewd little face, clutching his bundle with the grip of absolute ownership. The next morning he left with the party of fifty. He would not talk. His boy soul was so full of new gladness he was afraid it would leak. While the noisy bunch chattered about him Little Boy Blue pondered. There was a poet somewhere Inside of him that dreamed dreams of the wonderland where he was going. Well, the Vermont folk had fitted up an old farmhouse of seventeen rooms. "Gee," said Little Boy Blue, "white beds! And three windows In my bedroom!" And there were baseball and football and swings and chicken fixings and popcorn and Ice cream and the woods and the river and wild berries and real milk! Why, all the dreams of Little Boy Blue had come true. And this two weeks of heaven for fifty boys cost $326 $6J50 per boy. "Gee!" said Little Boy Blue. "Dere re bad uns in de world, but dere are good uns too." And the moral? Why, if your heart has not already found it A Rush of Comprehension. He thought it would be a good Idea to get up a sociable for the benefit of the church, so he called on 'an energetic young woman whom he bad visited for about a decade to see If they could arrange it "I called to propose" he calmly began. "At last!" she cried hysterically and fainted in his arms. Baltimore American.

ECZEMA 30 YEARS; SIMPLE OIL CURES a """saaMeas Wintergreen Compound Stopped Itch At Once Disease 8oon Disappeared After dosing the stomach for years and trying all kinds of alleged cures for eczema, Mr. M. T. Firmin, of Wichita, Kansas, reports a perfect cure. He simply washed the skin with an oil of wintergreen compound, mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc. Mr. M. T. Firmin, for the last 20 years in the employ of the C. S. Daniels Furniture Co., of Wichita, Kans., in the presence of Mr. Higginson of the Higginson Drug Co. made the following statement: "Eczema first appeared on my body when I was a child 8 years of age. For over thirty years I scratched and scratched and doctored. About the only relief I got was from scratching. The itching was so intense it simply drove me wild. "About one year ago, the disease covered my entire body from my scalp to my toes. My doctor and my friends all gave me up as incurable. "Then I commenced using the D. D. D. Remedy for eczema. The first application stopped the horrible itiching and gave me a night's sleep. It gave me strength and new hope. I continued growing better every day. My whole body being affected, I would sometimes use the contents of one whole bottle in a day. "I kept up the treatment for months, the eczema gradually leaving my body and am now entirely cured excepting a little roughness of the skin on my left ankle." For sale by all druggists. NEW PAPER FOR OLD KNIGHTSTOWN

Republicans to Establish Organ There. , Knlghtstown, Ind., Nov. 3. In ord er to provide Knlghtstown with a republican newspaper, a stock company has been organized. The Knlghtstown Banner published by Wallace Deem has posed as a republican paper, but has been so antagonistic to the interests of several republican nominees as the result of the personal dislike of Deem as to be repudiated by many republican subscribers. The new paper is expected to make its bow to the public in a short time. Although a republican plant, no selfish purposes will be subserved. TREE DWELLING ANTS. tenth American Insect That Acta aa Plant Guardian. Ant defenders of plants and trees ar battia at nature's nrettv marvels. Tne Cecropia adenopus Is a remarkawe tree of south Brazil, widely dlstributed through the tropics. Its slender trunk is crowned with long leaves at the ends of the branches. A few active ants run continually "ZTZZl JXZ IZr"?. cats tissue, rich in proteids and ail, as rations for the garrison of defender ants to feed upon. The curious arrangement by which entrance is made to the hollow stem has been studied by W. Schimper. Just above the point of Insertion of each leaf extends nearly to the supertor node a superficial groove, at whose end is a rounded depression. There the tissue is thin, like a diaphragm in a tube, and it also is soft The hole by which the ant enters Is always pierced at this spot The ants seem to have made their entrance through the groove originally because it was at the top. In the course of this plant's further development natural selection augmented these natural advantages, so that finally the thin, frail diaphragm as it exists today was developed. Chicago Tribune. Married the Day They Met. Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney were married the first day they met. They had corresponded for some time, a common friend who was something of a matchmaker having brought this about. She was all his fancy painted her, but she was much disappointed in his appearance, so much so that when he appeared before her, having proposed and been accepted by letter, she frankly toli him that, although she married him, she was not in love with him. Their married life was long and happy, and the loss of his wife was a blow which Greeley did not long survive. Tommy's Lunch. Uncle (who left his nephew "refreshing'sWell, Tommy, you see I'm back.

LOAN IS HELD UP City of Richmond Cannot Secure Needed Money Until Later. VON PEIN BLOCKS MOVE. The passage of an ordinance authorizing a loan of $25,000 by a bond issue was held up from passage last evening by the action of Councilman Von Peln, who objected to the passage of an appropriation ordinance under suspension of the rules. City Controller Parry advised council to take immediate action on the ordinance. He said that it was not absolutely necessary to pass it at once, but that bond dealers in Indiana had informed him that the best market for bonds would be found early In December. He said that to take advant age of this market the ordinance would have to be passed without delay as it was necessary to advertise it for three weeks. It will be remembered that council recently favored the floating of a $25,000 bond issue in preference to raising the tax rate. j Foley's Honey and Tar clears the air passages, stops the irritation in the throat, soothes the Inflamed mem- . branes, and the most obstinate cough I disappears.
