Entered at Richmond, Indiana, postoffice as second clnsr- mall matter.
HE carrier sighed: "I want to soar Like folks of whom I've heard. I want to fly from door to door Just like a chippy bird. , My legs is wore out to the knees; I'm spavined, sore and lame. These arrowplanes seem just the cheese. I'll get into the game.
Richmond people look forward to Hie new year, ushered In quietly today, with, the utmost confidence. They expect, the year 1900 will go down In the history of the city as one of great prosperity in all lines of public endeavor. , ; Richmond people have good reasons to believe such will be the case, for never did the prospects of the community appear in a brighter light. For Instance all of the many factories in e city are operating with full forces and the dinner pails are full. One of the local manufacturing concerns, the Hoosier Drill branch of the American Seeding company, has
size and is now ' one of the largest plants in the state. This new year the Hoosier Drill will employ the largest working force in its histoVy. It is generally understood that several other of Richmond's manufacturing concerns have' planned to expand this year. Truly the outlook for those citizens who earn their daily bread in the shops is, to say the least, satisfactory.
With the purses and the bank savings of Richmond's large army of factory employes once more presenting
rotund appearances, the merchant can not but look forward with pleasure to
this new year. To meet the demands of those who have money to spend and who live well all Americans to that
"Ihe will keep his stock well filled. He Will also profit by tho friendly overtures made last fall by the Young Men's Business club to our neighbors in the rural districts and in the smaller towns of the county. They came and saw what the Richmond market had , to offer them, and were pleased. Consequently the Richmond merchant
feels this recently developed field of . tflllA will tin n cniirra rf 1acvA iAirnmin '
to him this year. And the jobber. He Is all smiles. This year marks for
. him the resumption of the interurbani.
freight service of which he has been deprived for two years past, and which result in a loss to him of a large neigh- . boring trade and many thousands of dollars. He will also rejoice with the
manufacturer and the merchant in the exchange of freight between the P., C, C. & St, L. and the C., C. & I railroads, his two greatest arteries of trade, which union will, in all probability, be effected the fore part of this
new year. The year 1909- will also mark the awakening of public interest in the management of city affairs. Already a committee of citizens has been appointed to investigate the local municipal government and to report and advise on the proper methods to be adopted in operating the city on business principals. Richmond, prosperous even in the past year the panic year has no rea- ' son to fear this new year, which marks the beginning of a new epoch in national prosperity.
"An arrownaught is what 111 he If I hare any luck, And folks will rubber up at me And brag: 'I know that duck: ' We chummed together, me an' Hen An' made things hum an' whiz. He wasn't much to look at then; But, Moses, how he's riz!'"
The carrier studied up the Wrights, And in his own machine He soon was making longer flights Than young Darius Green. He bought a mule, and speedy Jack Induced by spur and blows, Would gallop with it on its back Until it slowly rose.
Said Hen: "She beats all other toys. And, as she goes quite high, Her name shair be the Ante, boys Her limit but the sky. At first I played a penny game; But, lucky stars be praised, Ho feller now disputes my claim The Ante can be raised!"
The mule, of course, was left below On each ascension day, And as the craft would upward go He'd bray as if to say: "That start would give a mule a fit Poor Hen is such a dunce. I'd raise the Ante quite a bit If I oould kick her once!"
"'The only paper on the earth That's left by arrowplane!' That ad.," said Hen, "is surely worth At least a watch and chain." The editor the bargain clinched: "If you can fly your route You'll have the chain and ticker cinched 1 And win a fob to boot!"
The day that he was booked to try A crowd of boys and men Came out to see the Ante fly And give advice to Hen. "You'd better wear pneumatic pants! "Pick out a spot that's soft!" "Aw, give the chippy bird a chance!" The joyous jokers scoffed.
Poor Jack, the mule, caused many flings. Said one, amid the jeers,
"I knowed a arrowplane had WINGS,
But this yere one flaps EARS!"
Another yelled with might and main: "Please give your kind attention. Here's Hen and his great muleoplane. They'll make a jackasscension !"
When Hen flew off, the jokers gasped And gave a rousing cheer As his first paper, spiral shaped, Hit Bilkins in the ear. Another paper sped to Glenn, Who cried, "Ain't she a daisy 1""A tMrd flew down to Jones, and then' The Ante went plumb crazy.

It gave a sudden upward lurch, A sky invading booster, Then ripped the shingles from a church like feathers from a rooster. Once more it made a skyward bound, As agile as a flea. Then turned a flipflap toward the ground And hung Hen on a tree!

most elaborate of its kind in the country, is being put in order. Congress is now considering, a plan to pur ?hase the three blocks of buildings between the union station and the capital grounds and convert the space into a public reservation. This would give an unobstructed view of the capitol and its surroundings as the traveler stepped from the train. . The buildings on these blocks are of the cheaper kind, and the purchase could be made at a reasonable price. When this is done, Capitol Hill will be one of the most beautiful and imposing spots anywhere on earth.
TJp sped a boy who saw him caught. "He's lit, by jing, he's lit! Say, Hen, you ain't no arrownaught; You're just an arrownit!" Said Hen: "This gives a man a pain! Come take me off my perch. I should have tried an arrowplane That didn't go to church.
"The earth feels mighty good to me. Come, Jack, old muleoplane, You did the trick; but, hully gee, I won't go up again! It ain't that I'm at all afraid. I'm simply not a fool. The paper must not be delayedI'll fly around by mule!"

The moral's easy to discern: Make this your daily rule If flying is too hard to learn, Why, get there on a mule! And here's another rule, good friends, To honor and obey The carrier New Year's greeting sends; BEMEtfBEB him today!

By Sheldon S. Cline. Washington, D. C, Jan. 1. It was riisrlnsed the other day that for
months, years perhaps, the lives of some of the most august of our august senators have been in daily, almost hourly, peril. No one has known what moment the building used as a senate annex, would come tumbling to the ground, bringing its dignified senatorial occupants tumbling with it. Refused Issue Permit. The disclosure came when Elliot
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol buildings, refused to sign a permit for storing a few hundred old books In the annex. This is a building formerly used as a hotel, located one square away from the east end of the capi
tal. In the building are a number
of committee rooms, the offices of a
few remiblican senators who could not
be provided with rooms in the main building and the offices of most of
the democratic senators. The senate
finance committee has a suit of rooms
in the building for use of its experts.
It was this committee that wished to
send the books of the Monetary commission to the annev. Superintend
ent Woods refused permission, declar
ing that another additional pound or weight could with safety be placed on the floors. An Inquiry which follow
ed, showed that the senators occupy
ing rooms in the building have been compelled to keep their law libraries
and other weighty volumes at their
homes or else occupy offices down
town at their own expense.
Will Rush the Work. The officials of the senate hope to have the new office building ready for occupancy before the annex falls down. The new building is almost ready for occupancy and doubtless will be nsed to house a considerable number by the time congress meets in special session on March 15. The building, which has often been described, cost $3,000,000, and with that of the house of representatives, will be" the most magnificent office building in America, if not in the world. To Purchase Property. The two office buildings flank the capitol, one each side, and facing the east plaza of the capitol stands the
gorgeous congressional library. The new onion station to the north of the capitol. Is now in use and the plaza in

When the Richmond Orchestra Association gives its recital at the Masonic Temple next Sunday afternoon, it is expected a large attendance will applaud the efforts of the musicians. The organization is one of the most capable of its kind to be found in the 6tate, but its efforts have net been appreciated to the extent rf liberal patronage. But there is hope for the locals when the reception accorded the Ellery band is recalled.
