The writer's attention recently has been called to certain peripatetic "teachers" who are said to be exploiting the doctrine that It is sinful for men and women to live with one another In any other way save that of j "the spiritual life," Beware of these wolves in sheep's clothing! They have broken up many happy homes. The best advice one can give Is this: Should this sort try to make disciples In your community see that they are sent away. Charlatans of this kind have ruined homes in many places. They peddle a kind of cult that appeals at the first blush to intellectual persons, women in particular. Afterward, when the disciple is believed to be "strong in the faith," the Inner teaching Is revealed. There is much talk of "exoteric" and ''esoteric" teaching, the outside for the world, the inside for the faithful. First comes the piously put declaration that "the life of the spirit" Is the only true life. Then comes the inner teaching the delicate suggestion of "spiritual affinities." And then destruction. It may seem strange that sensible people should become devotees of these cults and be victimized by apostles of such teaching, but it should be remembered Every normal human being Is hungry for spiritual food. The craving Is Just as keen' as that of the physical appetite. And the appetite Itself is not always the most accurate judge of what is best. The fads exploited by many of the long haired itinerants are not dangerous. They are for the most part sublimely silly. But There is a specious plea that does attack the heaven ordained relations of husband and wife and that leads to HELL ON EARTH. Thousands of poor derelicts on the sea of life have been wrecked and set adrift by pious pirates. Society needs to keep an eye on dangerous social interlopers who masquerade in the guise ' of religious prophets. Whenever and wherever the sanctity of family life is imperiled by the propaganda of any preacher, prophet, medium, professor or-what not KICK IIIM OUT! MRS. McRANEY'S EXPERIENCE Mrs. M.

No human tongue can tell how I suffered, and I had given up hope of ever get. ting well until I began taking Foley's Kidney Remedy.

IS NOW SELF SUSTAINING STATE HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZA TION AT THE END OF ELEVEN MONTHS HAS MONEY IN ITS TREASURY. Less prejudice is to be found against athletics now than formerly since they are better controlTed, ac cording to the hand book of the Indiana High School Athletic association just issued. Copies of the hand book have been received here, as the local school is a member of the state association. It is alleged there is more general interest being shown in athletics by the public and students. The withdrawal of the Indianapolis schools from the inter-BCholastic contests is said to have provided an impetus to the smaller schools of the state and encouraged students to stronger hope in competition. The report says the association has been self sustaining for the eleven months ending November 30. A bal-' ance of $348.93 is on hand in the treasury. The total receipts were $725,38. Football is said to be gaining in favor and more good teams were turned out this year than ever before. The following view of the athletics of the year is made: "The year 1908 has not been a disappointment in. any particular so far as can be observed. There has been no disposition to slacken the reins of control and no tendency of the books engaged in sports to break away from the regulations imposed by the organization. On the contrary the boys believe in the organization because It insures them a square deal, and few boys really want anything more than this. In considering the different kinds of sports engaged in during the year only brief mention may be made in this article. Official records and comment will be found elsewhere in this booklet. However, a few words might be said. In the first place, base ball has not been a very great success, where it hH3 been played, and comparatively few schools maintained teams. Professional or semi-professional - base ball completely eclipses tha high school games, as a rule, and it Is difficult to secure very much interest. Many basketball teams were organ ized, and some good ones were developed. The greatest drawback to successful basketball in the high schools in general is the fact that few are equipped with gymnasiums or can se cure satisfactory halls for practice and for games. The great diversity in the courts in which the games are played makes it remarkably difficult for any visiting team to do first class work. This sport has its distinct advantages however, and there will be little abate ment of interest the coming year. Track and field work was above par during the spring of 1908. A few in door meets were held before the good spring weather came, though there were comparatively few of these contests. The annual meet nnder the aus pices of the state association is the big attraction, of course, yet there are several other associations more limit ed in their scope.' and governed In their contests strictly by the state as sociation rules, which make some remarkably good records. Notably among these is the Eastern Indiana High School Athletic association which has been holding annual con tests for several years and which this year broke several state records. The state meet at Eloomlngton this year was very successful and is discussed elsewhere in this hand book. It seems however, that it is getting to be too large an affair and there should be more limitations to the -number of en tries." Only Time She'd Cere For a Husband. "There's just one purpose I can see for a husband," said a bachelor girl who avers she's proud of It and Intends to stay that way. "It would be bandy to have somebody on whom to place responsibility for things I don't want to do. Whenever I ask a married friend to do something for me she says she would like to immensely, but ber husband will not permit It If I want ber to contribute to something, for Instance, she explains that John has extremely curious ideas about charities and goes about doing good in his own individual way. When I hear a woman getting off a lot of talk like that, and I know she Is just glad of the excuse, I envy her her husband. But that Is-the only time I do." Exchange.

AN EFFORT TO 6E SENSATIONALIST (Continued From Page One.) years ago Governor Durbin remained in office four days after the legislature opened. It has always been customary, however, for the legislature to transact no business during those days. Shot at Option Law. Another shot was taken at the county option law here yesterday when the Indiana Hotel Men's association met and demanded the repeal of the law. In his annual address President Frank E. Purcell, of Muncie, said that if hotels in Indiana are not allowed to sell liquor more than half of them will be forced into bankruptcy. The hotel men will work for a repeal of the county option law. Some of the politicians are looking forward to a great scramble for the honor of being the first to introduce a bill to repeal the county option law. Some believe that the republicans will favor a straight out repeal without any reference to township and ward option. They say the democrats will favor the township and ward brand of option. If the republicans in the senate introduce a repeal bill and pass it the democrats in the house will try to amend it to provide for the township and ward option. If they do this and send the amended bill back to the senate the senate will not agree to the amendment and the bill will go to conference. Then,' it is expected, the democrats will agree to a straight out repeal rather than allow the county option law to remain on the statute books. A good many people believe there is some basis for expecting this course to be followed. THE WITCH'S CURSE. A Bucksport Legend of Colonial Days In Maine. Close by the road on the outakirta of the old seaport town of Bucksport, on the Penobscot river, is a small family cemetery. Within its lnclosure sleep the Bucks, the blue blooded folk who first settled the town and bequeathed It their name and a legend. The largest and most conspicuous monument in the cemetery is a tall granite shaft, which is In plain sight of the highway. On one side is the inscription: "Col. John Buck, the Founder of Bucksport, A. D. 1762. Born in Haverhill, Mass., 1718. Died March 1, 1795." On the other side is the single word "Buck," and also something not wrought by the marble worker. On the smooth surface of the pedestal is a curious outline, which can be easily Imagined to be a foot of normal size. The people who say that it la a foot believe in the legend which has oft been tokl in Bucksport. The story is that Colonel Jonathan Buck was a very harsh man and the leading spirit in his day and generation. He was the highest in civil au thority, and his word was law in the community in which he resided. He was an out and out Puritan, and to him witchcraft was the incarnation of blasphemy. Thus, so the story goes, when a certain woman was accused of witchcraft, at the first clamorlngs of the populace Colonel Buck ordered that she be Imprisoned, and later she was sentenced to be executed aa a witch. The execution day came, and the woman went to the gallows, cursing her judge with such terrible words that the people shuddered, but the magistrate stood unmoved. All was ready, and the hangman was about to perform his duty, when the woman turned to Colonel Buck, and, raising one hand toward heaven, she said: "Jonathan Buck, listen to these words, the last my tongue shall utter. It is the spirit, of the only living God which bids me speak to you. Tou will aoon die, and over your grave they will erect a stone, that all may know the spot where your bones lie and crumble to dust. "Upon that stone the Imprint of my foot shall appear, and for all time, aft er your accursed race has vanished from the face of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman." She then turned to ber executioners, and another act transpired to make a part of American colonial history. The "witch curse" had been almost forgotten until the monument was erected to the founder of Bucksport. It had been in position hardly a month when a faint outline was discovered on it It grew more and more distinct, until some person made the discovery that it was the outline of a foot. The old legend waa revived. They said that the "witch's curse" bad been fulfilled. An attempt was made to remove the stain, but every effort only tended to make it plainer. The imprint of the foot la there today aa plain aa ever. Amateur photographers bare taken pictures of ft, and a visit to the Buck cemetery to see the "witch's foot" is one of the pastimes of every summer vial tor to the pretty lit tie town. -New York World- '

ORDINANCE WILL TAKE TRIMMING Councilmen Not So Sure of the Proposed Government of Milk Supply in City. STUMBLE UPON SALARY SOME MEMBERS BELIEVE PROVISION FOR INSPECTOR WOULD ADD TOO MUCH TO CITY'S EXPENSE ACCOUNT. Whether chairman Henry Deuker of the franchise committee will be able to assemble his committeemen togeth er on New Year's night to consider the provisions of the milk ordinance, even he himself does not know. He Is of the opinion that as it is a holiday that his assistants will oppose the proposition. It is probable that the ordinance will not be given the attention of council at the next meeting but deferred for two weeks. The sentiment of the councilmen has been given as freely on the subject as might have been expected but it is being hinted that the conncllmen are determined not to make the ordinance too stringent in its provisions regarding the use of milk tickets, salary paid to inspector, tuberculin test, etc. All these provisions of the ordinance are likely to be modified to suit the taste of the dairymen. There will be a milk ordinance pass ed but how effective or how stringent can not be told until after the meeting! of the franchise committee. It will go slow and use discreet judgment in embodying sections. The committee feels the inspector's salary as provided in the ordinance is rather high and will be another source of drain on the city's treasury. Making It Plain to Hon. For the forty-ninth time In two hours the train stopped dead. The Scottish meenister In the corner yawned and then addressed a rose of England: "They're a gey taiglesome lot here." "I beg your pardon?" said the lady. "I'm sayin' they're an awfu' daldlin' squad here," explained the old fellow. "I really beg your pardon, sir!" she rejoined. "I'm remarkln they're a vera drelch lot here the nlcht," ventured the Caledonian. "Really, I must again beg your pardon," said the confused but conscien tious female, "but I do not comprehend you." "I was Just try In to say the train was late," blurted the meenister. "Indeed, sir, it is very late," pleasantly agreed the lady. After which conversation languished. Dundee Advertiser. Excessive Drinking Orrine Destroys the Craving for Drink Cure Effected or Money Returned. Excessive or continued use of alco holic beverages always results in a diseased condition of the nervous system. ' The drinking man is often heard to say, "I can stop of my own free will and when I wish," but the poor fellow Is now devoid of the power to act at the proper time and in the right way,it's too late, the craving has secured a firm hold and because of the diseased nervous system he has not the ability for sustained effort. The result we all know. Drunkenness is no longer considered a crime; eminent scientists and physicians have agreed that it is a' disease and must be treated as such.

THE SCRAP BOOK

Smart Press Agent. While George Ade was conducting a dramatic column on a Chicago paper the press agent of a coming theatrical attraction walked brightly into Ade'a office one morning and offered the author a long article, which was primarily an advertisement for the coming show. "Ade, I want you to use this stpry for me." said the theatrical man. "It's a good, interesting article, and you'll do me a great favor by printing it. "I'm sorry, but it's not the sort of stuff the paper wants." replied Ade. "It's too much of an advertisement. Why, If you took that down to our business office they'd charge you regular advertising rates!" The press agent mournfully departed, but the next morning Ade looked through the paper and was astonished to find the agent's story occupying a full coluan on the editorial page. Later in the day the managing editor came Into Ade's office and spread out the editorial page. "That's the sort of theatrical stuff we want," he said, pointing to the agent's article. "And what do you think, Ade? I only paid $20 for that tory !"LlppincottB. Huffed. In the olden times a woman In the north of Scotland went to visit her husband, who was condemned to be banged on the following day. The doomed man began to give bis in structions to his wife preparatory to bidding ber farewell, when all at once she broke in upon the conversation and exclaimed, - "By the bye, John, whaur will I plant the tatties this year?" The unfortunate man. as may be Imagined, grew exceedingly indignant at the Indifference of bis wife and exclaimed angrily: "What need I care whaur ye plant them? I'm not likely to need ony o' them." "Hecb." replied the woman, turning to the warden, with a wag of the head, "oor John's buffed because he's gaun to be hanged the morn!" and marched out of the cell. A Landae.r Story. Landseer, riding down Bond street, London, saw the following notice In a picture dealer's shop window: "A Fine Landseer oa View Within."' He went into the shop and asked to see the "fine Landaeer." The dealer, who did not recognize him, proudly pointed out the work. It was rather an early one. The dealer was, of course, loud in its praise. "And how much do you want for it?" said Landseer. "Two thousand guineas, sir,'1 was the reply. "Two thousand guineas? That seems a long price for an early work." "I could not take a shilling less," said the dealer. "He's gone, sir, touching his forehead significantly. "He's out of his mind. He'll never paint another." "Is he indeed ?" said Landseer. "I'm very sorry to .hear that" And as be was coming away he noticed a large picture by Stanfleld. "May I ask what you want for this Stanfleld?" "That, sir, is also 2.000 guineas." "What! said Landseer, touching bis forehead and imitating the dealer's gesture. "Is Stanfleld gone too?" The Evil Eye. The possession of two eyes does not confer upon us any advantage. One of them serves to show us the good things and the other the evils of life. A large number of people have acquired the bad habit of shutting the first eye, but very few shut the second, and that is why there are so many people who would rather be blind altogether than see all they have, to see.

Fooling Sandy. An old Glasgow skinflint breakfasted every morning on porridge and in order to save fuel cooked a whole week's supply every Saturday. One Friday morning the stuff seemed very cold and very salt, and he felt he must abandon the struggle to eat It. But his stubborn nature forbade any such thought. So be fetched the whis ky from the cupboard, poured out a glass and placed It before him on the table. "Now. Sandy." said he. "if ye eat that parritcb ye'll hae that whisky an if ye don't ye won't." He stuck again at the last spoonful, but. keeping his eye steadily on the glass of whisky, he made a bold, brave effort and got it down. Then be slowly and carefully poured the whisky into the bottle, with a broad grin, as be said to himself: "Sandy, my lad. I did ye that time, ye auld swindler." . r Had Bean to Saa. An Irishman, brought before a New York police judge on a charge of vagrancy, was thus questioned: "What trade do you follow?" "Shure, yer honor, I'm a Bailor," Pat made answer. "What you a seafaring man? I doubt whether you were ever at sea la your life," exclaimed the irate justice. "Shure, and does yer honor think I came over from Ireland in a wagon?" grinned Pat . - The Iron Duke. One of the Duke of Wellington's sons was ordered abroad with bis regiment, and be was concerned about the parting with his father because be might never see him again. On hla making that announcement the dnke, who had been reading, damped the son's emotion by saying shortly, "Goodby, Charlie, goodby," and, taking a last look before leaving the room, the son was mortified to see that the father appeared to be as Intent on his reading as ever.
