City THE FIRST CLOCKS. On a Padua That Was a Wonder of Mechanism. It was. we are told. In 1300 that tbe first clock known to tbe world was placed In tbe tower of Sao Eustorgio, la Milan. Tbo grentest astonishment and adyalrniiou were manifested by crowds who flocked to see tbe timepiece. In 1341 a clock was Installed la the palace of the nobles at Padua. Tbls was a wonder of mechanism Indeed, for besides Imlk-atlug the hoars it showed the course of tbe sun. the revolutions ef the planet, tbe various pbaaes of tbe moon, the months and the fetes ef tbe year. Tbe period of the evolution from tbe dock to tbe watch was seventy-one years not so very Ions, all things conaldered and tbe record of the first watcb la 1380. A half century later aa alarm clock made Its appearance. Tbls. we are told, was looked upon by tbe people of that age as "un instrument prodlgleux." The fortunate iHwsessor of tbls clock was Andrea A Ida to. a councilor of Mll.t: Tbe tliroulclor have placed on word t!:it this clock sounded a bell r.t it Kti.toil hour, and at the same time n litth wax candle was lighted automntkvill.v. How this was done we are not fclU.

Not much progress was made with the watch until 1740. when the secend hand was added. London Globe. TEMPTED, HE ATE. A Story of Heinrich Heine and a Toothsome Lyons Sausage. Returning from a Journey to the oath Of France, Heinrich Heine met a friend, a German violinist, in Lyons, Who gay him a large sausage that Bad been mad in Lyons with tbe request to deliver it to a mutual acquaintance, a homeopathic physician, fa Paris. Heine promised to attend to the commteelon and intrusted the delicacy to tbo car of bis wife, who was traveling with him. But as tbe postchalse waa very slow and he aooa became very hungry, on tbe advice of bis wife both tasted of tbe aausage, which dwindled with every nil. - ArYivtag at Parts, Heine did not Sara to send the remainder to the physician, aavd yet bo wished to keep Us promise. So he cut on tne tninBjsat possible slice with bis razor.

Beating The Bosses.

"Mr. Taft will have the Indiana delegates unless a fight is made there. "Former Senator Beveridge would be able to wedge some La Follette men into the delegation, if he were disposed to make a personal fight. Mr. Beverldge's old opponents in his party, the Fairbanks-Hemenway-Watson crowd are for Mr. Taft, as it now stands. In case Mr. Taft should retire there would be an immediate movement to get Charles W. Fairbanks Into line for the nomination. However, as Mr. Taft, at the time this was written, had said nothing about retiring, Mr. Fairbanks must, for these purposes, be considered v Very dark almost effaced horse. "The result in Indiana depends entirely on the light that is made. If the Progressives put up a hard fight they have a good chance to get some of the delegates." Samuel Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post.

We have always had a great respect for the wisdom of the Indianapolis Star in the yenr 1910 when it said: "The policies of the insurgent of Indiana will dominate the Republican party of tomorrow or else when tomorrow comes there will be no Republican party." But now the morrow has come and the Star, in changing its policy to rubberstamped reaction, does not change the situation. Where is the Republican party? Men are prepared to leave it by the thousands to tbe jubilation of the Democrats, who so recently met in the Dennison Hotel, Indianapolis. Those who furnish the votes are no longer responsive to the old crys. Why? The long list of broken promises of the Republican machine of Indiana was repudiated at the polls in 1908. In 1910 the Republican machine was busy fighting Senator Beveridge. In 1912 the same Republican machine proposes to use its strength to put in as the candidate for the presidency a man who has repudiated his own words and promises. In 1912 the machine proposes to help nominate a man who has already confessed that he can not be elected. In 1912 the progressive portion of the party Is to be denied representation. In a word, it is the situation so briefly outlined at the head of this article by Sam Blythe.

In Indiana, as we see it, the Taft delegation is only but one link in the chain. It is not merely whether Mr. Taft is to get the delegates, but, far more important, whether the people of this state are to be denied the right of controlling in their own interest one of the instruments by which, of necessity, this state and nation must be governed a party. Up to this time, with scattering exceptions, the "Old Guard" has kept a tight hold on the mechanism. The defeat of Beveridge was its handiwork which went so far as the use of patronage and the colonizing of voters. Up to this time the grip of these petty bosslets has been in the appeal to "stand by the party"-now tha people are not standing for, or standing by, that sort of thing. Now in the face of certain defeat, caused by the exodus of the people who have been stung over and over again, they hope to retain control of the party. And the reason for this is simple. What would you yourself do if Mr. Taft and Mr. Harmon were the nominees of the two "great parties? There wouldn't be much choice would there? . Well these bosslets in both parties and the men who furnish them with funds and other perquisites don't want you to have any choice. "The result in Indiana depends entirely on the fight that is made." So says Sam Blythe. And Sam Blythe is right. If the people of this state are content to sit back and let the party machinery be set against their desire you can depend on it that the Keeling machine of Indianapolis will co-operate with all the other machines to keep it so. As long as men merely shift from one party to another party from the Kealing-Watson-Hemenway machine, with all its ramifications, to the Taggart cohorts, the situation is much as these bosses want it. They may regret that it is not their particular firm that has the contract that year, but in the long run you havn't hurt their business any. The only way you can hurt their business is to take that business out of their hands because it isn't really their business at all. In doing that you have cleared up the paths that are now guarded so that only a certain type of man gets to the legislature the sort of men that is easily controlled in any number of ways. In doing that you have begun at the work of getting in constructive legislation. Whether you like it or not, this is a government of parties. And there is only one thing worse than a sewed up party that is two of them. We have no quarrel with any man who votes the ticket from his conviction that either the Democratic or Republican party .represents his views. But we do have a considerable contempt for the man who walks blindly up to the polls and finds fault with the candidates when he has made no effort to get better men on the ticket. Both parties are going to be cleaned out or there won't be anything left of them.

But if Sam Blythe, or Jim Watson, or his partners, the bosslets, want to know whether there is going to be a fight in Indiana for the breakup of a presidential delegation, delivered bound and gagged without any other consultation than that of the bosslets they had better enquire around Richmond. The people in Richmond are pretty well informed as to the game that the Kealing, Watson and Hemenway peqple are playing. And they didn't think much of the game. Some things have happened at elections long enough to establish the fact that people in this vicinity know what the fight is. Furthermore they will carry the fight to the conclusion, and are perfectly capable, as far as they are concerned, of doing it without any help. The men that are Republicans because they believe in Republican doctrines have no horror of voting the Democratic ticket as a rebuke to their own party, but on the other hand they are not going to let the fight stop there. They have their eyes on "men and measures." They are for definite and well considered measures of public policy, and for the individual men who will help carry them out and they want party machinery cleared out on both sides. The fight will not only be in 1912 but is here in 1911. It did not begin yesterday. It rolled up votes for Beveridge and rebuked Barnard, and was the direct cause of Mr. Watson's retirement to lobbying, pure and simple and undefiled, by party ties. It is not a one man fight. It was for Beveridge because it was for the things that Beveridge stood for. Now that Mr. Beveridge is not a candidate, it is not only just aa strong but perfectly well organized for the definite purpose of carrying out its principles.

"If the Progressives put up a hard fight they have a good chance to get some of the delegates," says Blythe. In 1908 the Progressives in this communty were for Taft and the Indiana gang of politcal highbinders was against him, printing the most scandalous libels and pussyfooting over the state to prevent his getting a solid organization. They fought Mr. Taft then for the same reason that the people here were heartily for him because it was believed he was a Progressive. Perhaps he was then we are not concerned with anything but facts now but he has not been since his election. It is certain that the Indiana political satraps in the Republican party are not any different now than they were then and neither are the people here, but in the time that has elapsed the people have grown more determined and are organized and organizing.

Nor do we think that it Is entirely confined to Richmond and Wayne county nor even to the 6th distrtrict.

BOILING THE SOAP. i Oa the complaint of the neighbors in ber flat a Chicago health officer stop ped an old woman from boiling soft soap on her gas range. And the little old lady cried and said she didn't exactly need the soap, but she was "lonesome for Indiana and Just had to boil something." Ever help make soft soap? If so you will understand bow the old woman felt If you were the boy of the family you tended, ns preliminary to the grand boiling, the leaching hopper Some folks had regular hoppers, and others used a barrel, into which were put the wood nshes. Your business was to keep the lye dripping from the ashes by pouring water into the hopper from time to time, and woe betide you if you let the thing run dry! There was the big kettle. Swung over the fire in the back yard, the kettle was utilized In the fall for making apple butter, in the spring for the soap boiling. Into the old black kettle went the lye and the soap fat and meat rinds carefully treasured through tbe winter. When the boiling was begun it was your business to keep the fire going under the kettle. The wood smoke got into your eyes (which you did not mind), and you had to take your turn at stirring tie mixture (which you did mind), and Do you not hear again the snapping of the hickory wood? And The twitter of the robins? And see the chipmunk yonder in the weeds? And hear the guinea bens with their "Potrack, potrack.Y" Do you- not see the vivid grass and the tumbled clouds in the blue, blue sky clouds that sail and sail? And sometimes as you watched the clouds and dreamed the dreams of boyhood the soap boiled over! Now What is tbe moral of this snapshot of the old time Indiana soap boiling? There is none. Can't an old fellow indulge his memory sometimes without moralizing? Tbe huge soap factories with their great caldrons and tall stacks have long since taken away the need for boiling soft soap in tbe bacfc yard, butThey can never take away the dear old memories of a day that is dead.

The pale, wistful faces and thin spindling limbs of "delicate children" tell plainly enough the story of poorly nourished bodies. We know just what ought to be done for such children. Here is a letter from Richard Rush, Columbus, Ind., saying, "I believe I am indebted to Vinol for the health of my little son. He had a severe attack of whooping cough and measles which affected his lungs and constitution. "We tried several other remedies without any result, then commenced using Vinol and I take pleasure in saying that he is tb picture of health now, due to the use of Vinol." Sickly children need the strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron that Vinol contains that is why Vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine healthy color.

Secretary WASHINGTON. Dec. 4 of the Navy, George Von L. Meyer, in his annual report, submitted to the president today, recommended that Congress provide for building two new battleships and two colliers at its coining session. He explained the policy of building two new battleships each year, not to increase the navy, but to keep it of an even strength of about forty battleships, those over twenty years old being practically worthless because of progress in methods of naval warfare. "The recommendation for a continuing policy," he said, "which will give us the fleet desired is made with a due regard for the almost worldwide i movement for the settlement of inter-' national disputes by arbitration, in which movement our country has tak en a foremost part. Tne economical system of a great commercial nation is so delicately balanced that even a threat of war is very disturbing and harmful, while a war with any other great power would cause, incalculable damage, and it is more necessary now than ever before that we should.be fully prepared, and that every other power should understand that, while seeking peace, we are prepared for war." What the Navy Needs. Secretary Meyer declared that the navy is in need of certain special types of vessels, particularly battleship-cruisers, scouts, destroyers, tenders to destroyers, repair ships, hospital ships, tenders to submarines and gunboats. He said that appropriations should be voted for their construction. Satisfaction was expressed with the progress made in aviation by the na- j vy aviators. The Secretary declared he expects this branch of the service to become an important one, eventually each battleship being equipped with aeroplanes for scouting purposes. The report spoke of Secretary Meyer's visit to England and contained several recommendations as the result of his official study of conditions in the British navy. The secretary declared himself much impressed by the detention system of punishment and commended this for the American navy in lieu of fines. "The men's pay is not any too much as it is," he said. As punishment of deserters in time of peace he suggested that detention should be substituted instead of the loss of all civil rights. The British detention barracks at Aldershot seemed an ideal institution of its sort to the secretary, who believes that the same Begy's Mustarine Best remedy on earth for sprains, lameness, sore chest, lame back, neuralgia, toothache, painful bunions and callouses.
