Editor Palladium:
Are we not forcibly reminded of the
old time-worn trueism that "misery
loves company," in those very large
headlines this morning appearing on
!sjut only morning-nip paper?, inform
rag us jojriuuy inac wayne vjoumy Has plenty of Company." Such misInformation must require a very
strict adherence, in fact a fanatic be
lief. In that old saying that "two is
2 company, and three is a - crowd."
i nererore, poor oia carpet-oaggea-wei Wayne, Blackford and Cass, what an
J .immense crowd they do make! Me
minus i near me meiouious strains oi
that old war song We used to sing in
prison "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the hoys are marching, cheer up comrades
they will come," and just as I sink. in
to a dreamy reminiscence of those
dreary prison ' experiences, behold!
there breaks on my vision an im
mense procession, two thousand, five
H hundred and thirty-eight strong, by ac
tual count, and the voice of the angel of darkness said unto me, "Knowest thou not what thou seest?" I replied '.'nay Lord." He said in a loud voice, "Behold! this is the procession of the great sanhedrim of the large church - Of the ' willing workers of self-styled 'liberals; but their real name is 'The . Workers of Iniquity.' They are the 2,538 saloon keepers that have been put out of business in the 63 counties , that have ousted them, and they are marching to the three counties ' who . are so-much-company-to-each other, since they have gone wet. I awoke and rubbing my eyes murmured. "strange, how few wets it takes to make : a plenty, it must be because they are well soaked in the excretions of that little microbe called Torula, whose ptomains or putrefactive poisons make more than a plenty of a ,rery few." The fact Is, that only 'those who will not Bee, can fail to see ' that the small majorities by which the wets have carried these counties, really Bhows the greater victory for the drys. . : JOS. M.

CAN HOSPITAL BE CONSIDERED AS A MUNICIPAL ONE?
In the Course of Time. New troubles will move us to grief and dissension. As past us the seasons rapidly slip: With deep apprehension ere long we will mention Hay fever and sunstroke instead of the grip!
Undisturbed. . "A mule," said Uncle Eben, "is wus dan an automobile. He ain't even got de politeness to 'honk' when he's out to do damage!"
Undisturbed. "What became of that man who sai4 he was going to wake up the U. S. Senate?" "I don't know," answered Senator Sorghum. "He hasn't caused me any sleepless days."
A Sure Sign. "Has that young man proposed?" asked one girl. "No," answered the other, "but he's on the way. Yesterday he recited that piece of poetry by Mr. Khayyam about a book, of Verses underneath the bough."
The General Topic. Talkin' 'bout the weather, The subjeck we pursue When we find ourselves together Without very much to do. The trees are whisperin' gaily
An' the streams are chatterin' fast,
An' the sound Increases daily Jes' cause spring Is here at last! The frogs is all a-shrillinV In the marsh down by the run, An the little birds is trillin' As they greet the warmer sun. Though the great men of the nation Make long speeches by request, This weather conversation Never loses interest!

Aristocracy of Patrotism. Prom the New York World. It would have interested the anti-feder-
alists who detected monarchical- symp
toms In the establishment of the so- ' dety of the Cincinnati to have foreseen the approaching official visit to the white house of the Society of Descendants ot the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. So great has been, the multiplication of societies ' founded on colonial and revolutionary war ancestry that the Cincinnati now form but an elder branch of an aristocracy of patriotic descent, the development of which is one of the curious octal phenomena of the republic. , The descendants of the signers compose the newest of these societies, their first annual reunion having taken place at the Jamestown exposition in 1907. Their white house visit is an incident in their pious pilgrimage to the tomb of Jefferson at Monticello.
Sound Advice. .From the New York Herald. Judge ; tells grand jurors that reckless chauffeurs who kill pedestrians should be Indicted for manslaughter. Also declares that automobile owners who - employ such chauffeurs are equally guilty. If a few "joy riders" were sent to prison their fellows would feel m'ore respect for the law and the . rights of others.

GER.ON1MO. APACHE CHIEF. The last of the "bad Indians" is dead. Geronlmo, one of the most notable of American savages, chief of the cruel and bloodthirsty Apaches, died recently at Fort Still, a prisoner of the white man. Geronimo gave the frontier army the most serious task it ever undertook. After jrears of campaigning against the able and wily chief It finally became necessary to permit the American troopers to cross the border Into Mexico and to penetrate Into the fastnesses of the Sonora mountains to effect his capture. In the pursuit of Geronimo both General Miles and General Lawton made their reputations ' as Indian fighters. It is no treason to say that in native ability Geronimo was the greatest tactician of the trio. The old chief was in captivity for more than twenty years. It is said he "professed religion" a year or so before he died. However that may be, it is safe to say his eagle heart constantly brotrfcd over the hope that he might somehow escape to liberty and his native mountains of Arizona. K, Like many of bis race, Geronimo was eloquent in speech. Years ago, pointing to the west, he said: "The sun rises and shines for a time, and then it goes down, sinking out of sight, and is lost. So with the Indians. When I was a boy my father told me that the Indians were as many as the leaves on the trees. I never saw them. The white man took them. In a few years more the Indian will be heard of no more, except in the books the white man writes." A prophecy that is pathetically being fulfilled. Where has been told in poem or prose or drama or music the story of the American aborigine and his true character? On the one band is the dictum of the Indian slayer of the plains that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian," on the other the fanciful creations of the Cooper school of writers. . The flower of that race is worthy of a high and permanent place, in American history and fiction and poetry. A great capacity for friendship, a rude but strong sense of justice, a deathless love of liberty, a belief In immortality, martyr stoicism these are rare and tremendous traits.
Can the Reld Memorial hospital be
considered as under municipal control
or ownership?
Upon the answer to the question will decide whether or not it would be possible for the city council to levy a special tax for the support of the institution. Opinions as to the hospital differ. By some attorneys, who were asked about the matter, it was held that Reid Memorial hospital is purely a private institution, although the city has been donating $6,000 a year for its support. Others say there is a Question of doubt about the matter and it might be held to be at least
partially controlled by the municipality. Provisions of Law. The new laws make it possible for
the common council of a city of the fourth class having a hospital under municipal control or ownership at any time to levy a special tax for the maintenance of the institution, of not
les3 than 2 cents nof more than 5
cents on each one hundred dollars
of taxable property to be levied and
collected as other city taxes are levied and c611ected. The city council has a representative on the board of directors of the hospital. It is claimed that this is as near as the city comes to having any voice about the conduct of affairs at
the institution. Recently the board of
directors appeared to give some cognizance to the will of council, when it submitted a report in which It asked whether or not the patients from the Wernle Orphans home should be charged for treatment at the hospital. Council upon the advice of the city attorney refused to decide the matter, claiming the question should be left entirely to the board. To Avoid Precedent. The city attorney counseled any action council might take would tend to establish a precedent that might prove dangerous at some future time. The home paid for the treatment. The new law provides that the special tax levied for the support of a hospital may be paid in installments at the same time the other taxes are paid. The same penalties for delinquencies are to be effective.
It is said that the Inventor of absinthe sold his secret for a trifle to a man, who disposed of it for $50,000 to a third person who made millions out
of it.

According to the Indian Trade Journal of Calcutta, an important branch
of the chrome tanning department in
Madras in the last three or four years has been the curing of skins both of wild animals and of snakes. The chrome tanning process Is well suited for the preservation of skins with the hair on, but it lends itself equally well for snake skins. Large numbers of such skins, which are in large demand for women's belts, have been tanned, the principal skins being those of the python, the cobra and the Russel viper. The quality of snake skins varies considerably, and it depends upon the time which has elapsed since the reptiles last cast their skins.
Billiard balls are made from tusks of a certain convenient diameter, known as "cow" ivory. Bull tusks run from twelve to thirty pounds in weight and bring $5.50 a pound. Piano-key manufacturers use only the larger bull tusks, of a weight which cows never attain, say forty pounds and over. Ten years ago seventy pounds was a fair average for a shipment, while today fifty pounds is considered good. The heaviest pair of tusks within the memory of American experts are 224 and 239 pounds respectively. They were bought at Zanzibar in 1900 by a New York house for 1,000.
False teeth of ivory, on a plate of the same material, and held in place
by gold wire, were in comparatively common use as early as 1000 B. C.
YOU CAN SEARCH US!
(Rushville Republican) What in the world is the matter with Rushville? It is conceded to be one of the most attractive and beautiful cities in the state, it has every advantage and normally should be a flourishing, thriving little burg (of course it is not a "dead one" by any means), it has some of the best brainiest men in Indiana for citizens and as good a people as ever collected together and didn't do anything, anywhere on God's footstool. These are questions and riddles that we must solve. There is a reason. There must be a way out of the old order of things.
THE GREAT PYRAMID.
It Illustrates the Wonderful Ability of the Ancient Egyptians. The cost of the labor and material necessary to duplicate the great pyramid of Gizeh at the present time would amount to considerably more than $50,000,000. according to a paper read before the Society of Engineers In New York city by E. S. Wbeelcr, says the American Architect. The cost of the material alone Is estimated at $48,000.000. This structure, one of the wonders of the world. Is founded on solid rock at a depth of about 120 feet below the surface level and rises to a height of 454 feet. Its base covers an area of almost fifteen, acres. Mr. Wheeler's scheme for the reproduction of this pyramid contemplates first the setting of a base of coucrcte. This would represent about 2,000,000 cubic yards of material and would cost at least $10,000,000. The estimate for the superstructure Is about $38,000,000, and it would contain 3.313.000 cubic yards of backing stone and 140.000 cubic yards of facing stone. Mr. Wheeler's estimate of labor is 24,000,000 days. These figures are cited to show the great engineering skill of the Egyptians and the fact that no task in construction appeared to be too large for a people whose extant monuments showed their patience and ability to overcome obstacles that would daunt even the modern engineer.
: Curious Epitaphs.
Old New England graveyards are
not the only ones which contain curi
ous epitaphs. The old time dweller of Maine who "died of a falling tree," as
his headstone asserts, had a fellow In
misfortune in f aroff Austria, as is shown by W. A. Baillie-Grohman's
"The Tyrol and the Tyrolese." x A wooden slab, painted with the rep
resentatlon of a prostrate tree under which lies a man In spread eagle attitude, bears testimony to the violent death of "Johann Lemberger, aged fifty-two and three-quarters years. This upright and virtuous youth was
squashed by a falling tree."
The record of Michael Gerstner is
even more succinct and convincing.
He "climbed up, fell down and was
dead." - ' Horse Sense. A horse is so constructed by nature that he has no desire to do anything which will injure his health. He walks around whatever Is not good
for him and without a struggle. But man is so constructed that whatever is not good for him he wants to do. He
eats too much, and he eats too fast-
He drinks while eating, and there is nothing proper that he does without an effort. Why this distinction in favor of a horse? It may be said that a horse has only instinct, while a man has reason, which be should use. It is a pity that man was not given more
instinct and less reason. Atchison Globe. First Aid.

A remarkable vegetable fiber, which can be used in textile manufactures has been discovered in Australia and is reported to the Bureau of Commerce and Labor bv Consul Jewell, of Melbourne. It will spin and weave in union with wool, and is the only vegetable fiber which will take dye equally well. The fiber is the result of the sheddings of the leaf sheath of a sea grass , botanically known as Posidonia Australis. The sheddings have been imprisoned by the action of the wind and waves in the sand flats of Spencer Gulf, South Australia. Soundings have revealed layers of the fiber averaging twelve feet in depth under four feet of water. They are the accumulation of centuries, and are estimated to aggregate millions of tons, of varying degrees of fineness.
