Among the differences existing In the names of various employments and callings In this country and In England may be mentioned those pertaining to the forest Industries. What Americans call a lumber dealer In England is called a timber merchant. Timber In New England is applied to trees large enough to cut logs for the mill, to the logs entire and to the large single sticks Into which they are hewn or sawed. When the logs are cut Into boards, planks, Joists, and so on, they form lumber. In the west timber Is generally standing trees, and It Includes all trees, large and small, without reference to their fitness for the mllL The cutting and hauling of this timber is lumbering there, bnt In a large part of New England It Is logging. What Is in some quarters known as joist is called elsewhere scantling, and what Americans call 'boards or planks the English call deals. In this country a person who splits out shingles Is called a shingle weaver. In England shingles are not made In this way, but lath are regularly riven, and a maker of them is called a lath render. New York Sun. THROWING THE DICE. The Ancient Germans War Furious Gamblers at This Game. The invention of dice has been of old ascribed to Palamedes. the son of Kauplius. king of Euboea. about 1244 B. C-. and also to a Greek soldier named Alea. which is the Latin for a die. but Herodotus assigns both dice and chess to the Lydlans. The ancient Germans would gamble away at dice all that they were worth and then their liberty, submitting to slavery If they lost, and the Saxons. 'Danes and Normans were all addicted to the game. Fox Talbot is of opinion that the Latins Invented, if not the game, at least the name for the single point, wmcn tney caned nnns. The Germanic races, adopting this practice from the Greeks, translated the Greek corruption of nnus into ass, which has now become ace. The root of this word lies in the Latin, as the monetary nnit. John of Salisbury in the twelfth century mentions ten different uses of the dice. Stow mentions two entertainments given by the city of London at which dice were in evidence. London Telegraph.

"Honest Campaigning.
People who live outside Indianapolis have difficulty in appreciating the very close connection between Boes Kealing and the Indianapolis News. But every ward heeler in Indianapolis knows it and every newspaperman, be he the veriest "cub," on the News or any other paper, knows It. Kealing resigned his office as district attorney rather than do bis duty in the case in which Theodore Roosevelt was grossly slandered by the News. The part that Kealing played as a go-between in the Shank campaign is still sufficiently notorious. But for all that the News is usually wise enough to maintain a calm and outward semblance of morality and under what passes for a ponderous obtuseness is effective among those who prefer others to do their thinking for them. The News has taken Taft's long series of defeats much to heart: "The result in New Jersey, which yesterday gave its delegates to the Republican national convention to Mr. Roosevelt, furnishes another evidence of the hopelessness of honest campaigning in a time of great political excitement. Mr. Taft's presentation of the political situation was sincere, and his appeal for votes was based on honest grounds. He made no promises that neither he nor anybody else could fulfill. He did not propose to whittle the Constitution into a shape that would suit certain excited and . "On the other band, when Mr. RooBevelt was not proposing reforms that he could not possibly carry out or making promises that he could not possibly fulfill, he was dealing in glittering generalities about "social justice" and "the people must rule." His large mind never goes into the details of his proposed changes, but they were not necessary in such a campaign as he has been making. In fact, he would have found anything of the kind fatally hampering." The sort of "honest campaigning" which the News prefers is the honest and honorable sort which Mr. Kealing is so partial to. The corruption of Marion county politics is the sort which the .News thinks fine and American. True it has been the only hope and comfort of William Howard Taft but how does it compare with those states in which the people have expressed themselves at the ballot box? The News charges that enough citizens of the United States are corruptible to combine with a howling mob to nominate Theodore Roosevelt! Honest campaigning! If anything can beat the corruption to which the News was at least a party by silence there will only be further details of the Taft campaign laid bare,. As for the reforms which Theodore Roosevelt has proposed which the News says "he cannot fulfill" let us have the testimony of E. A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin, one of the closest students of economics in this country and recognized all over the world as an authority on American tendencies. "Enlighten the public as to its real and permanent interests. What has already been accomplished along this line is most encouraging. For years we have had a President who thinks in terms of welfare instead of wealth, a man as elemental and uncommercial as Daniel Booneor Davy Crockett, yet withal a scholar, familiar with the ideas of the far-sighted thinkers who are beseeching people to look at matters from the standpoint of society and posterity. Under his leadership the people have become aroused as to the use of natural resources, the conditions of meat packing, the purity of foods, the hygiene of industry, industrial accidents, child labor, the protection of the family." If the people of Indiana care for the opinion of a paper known for its integrity let them at ' least read the comment of the Kansas City Star on the above comment of Professor Ross (written in 1908). "There you have the real secret of Roosevelt, the reason for his hold on the American people. The fact that he thinks in terms of welfare, instead v of wealth, and that he is efficient in carrying out the results of his thinking, has made him the inevitable leader of the great forward movement. "Against this fundamental qualification, all the petty fussing and pecking of his opponents are futile.
We have been wondering all day Drischel has collared in Cambridge
All day yesterday it wasn't safe for a dog to cross Main street because of speeding automobiles which is about the nearest thing that we have seen approaching a quarantine. Perhaps it is worth allowing the speed ordinances to be shattered to have one day of respite. Other days we have to depend on the belt car.
The Indianapolis News announced last night in the most conspicuous place that Col. Roosevelt talks of "bolting." In the southwest corner it printed two sticks about the victory of Wilson in New Jersey and just barely mentioned the fact that Roosevelt got a few delegates. The News has had a rainy season.

She hypnotized the millionaire. He was determined to have her. He was rich. He could buy her. And she was for sale. The end was apparent from the beginning.

Finally, stung by neglect and humiliated by the stories, the wife brought suit for divorce. And when the trial came on the newspapers were full of the "scandal in high life." Then the millionaire went to Europe with the pretty woman. And almost every day the old wife cried. When the millionaire came back his new wife wns clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. And by and by the scandal mongers whispered other tales about her. Who was the millionaire? You will find his name in either Dun's or Bradtreet's commercial reports. And if you will look up his history yeu may find that once he was a man.

Many hundred of of miles of ocean lie between this Island and its nearest neighbor. Tristan. In short. Is a tiny oasis in a boundless wilderness of waters, go from it In which direction you wilL It is a rocky and cliff girt little isle, with a solitary mountain 1.000 feet high rearing itself from the midst. Yet on this lonely speck of rock and earth there lives a community seemingly happy in their isolation from all the rest of the world. They are farmers, cattle raisers and shepherds. In the valleys of the Island are fertile fields, where potatoes mainly are jrrown. The food of the people consists for the most part of beef, mutton, fowls, potatoes and fish. Tristan used formerly to produce many fruits and vegetables which can no longer be grown there. The reason of this is that the Island for a long time was overrun by rata which escaped from a ship that anchored there and which the people have been unable.
