THE RICHMOND PALLADIU31 AND SUN-TELEGRA31. SATURDAY. SEPTE3IBER 21, 1912.

WHISKEY AND MONEY STARTED TROUBLE Two Negroes Indulge in Altercation and Were Arrested by Sheriff. Too much whiskey and too much money brought Henry Fleming and Will Owens, both colored, into police court today, the former on a charge of stealing $20 from Oweca who was charged with drunkenness. Owens was fined $1 and costs and Fleming $5 and costs and five days. Sheriff Steen was at the C. & O. depot yesterday afternoon. The two colored men, surrounded by a crowd were having a heated debate about a $20 bill, which Owens claimed he gave to Fleming to keep for him. Fleming said Owens gave It to another man. The men had created a disturbance on the C. & O. passenger train enroute from Peru to Richmond and the conductor put them off at Richmond. Steen arrested them and they were tried this morning. Owens claimed he gave a $20 bill to Fleming to keep for him. Owens said

he was drunk and feared that the bill would be stolen from him. He could not recover the bill from Fleming when he wanted it. Both men admitted they were drunk. Fleming claimed he gave Owen's bill to "Harry" another negro with $4 of his own and kept a $20 bill of his own. His story did not convince Mayor Zimmerman and Fleming was lined $5 and costs and given five days in jail. Fleming then consented to give Owens the $20 bill found on him to enable Owens to start on a journey to his home in Florida. Fleming will lay out his fine. The men were employed on the G. R. & I. railroad near Peru.

Capoicin. The active principle of capsicum, or red pepper, is a volatile oil known as ccpsiclne. It is so exceedingly acrid that a quarter of a grain exposed to the air In a room will diffuse itself throughout the apartment and cause all present to cough and sueeze as though the pepper bad been taken into the month or nostrils.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Calendars! Their habit is only equalled in dementia by the thermometer and their presence is invariably obnoxious. Unless nailed to the wall with a ten foot spike over a desk whose slave must know the days as they isue forth from obscurity, rise to a climax and are guillotined by the setting sun, so it can't fall down. Otherwise calendars are a snare and the everlasting deuce. You say it is the 19th. But Maria is sure it is the 21st, while Ann says she knows positively it is the 17th because Uncle Abner's second wife's birthday is on the 16th and that was yesterday. On Maria's opinion that the second wife's birthday was last week. Ann shows signs of apoplexy and declares she can never say a thing that isn't contradicted by Maria. That she is simply tired to death of it and it has got to be stopped. That she guessed she knows what she is talking about. That Maria is one of those complacent beings who seek to regulate the universe. And that no matter whether she (Maria) is right or wrong, she always carries it off with such a high hand that even if she is wrong people who don't know the difference thinks she's right. For her part, vociferates Ann, she is willing to swear on a pile of Bibles

eleven feet high that it is the 17th be cause Marguerite told her that she had a post card from Uncle Abner's oldest daughter yesterday that it was the second wife's birthday on the 16th and no matter what Maria says she knows it is the 17th. Just then Ellen sticks her head in the door and says that she had an invitation to attend the birthday celebration of Uncle Abner's second wife and that maybe she will go since it isn't pulled off until the 2Cth. Ten days after its due, exclaims Ann. Ellen views her with a cold and lack lustre eye. Ellen asks Ann what she, Ann, knows about it. Why I got a card, says Ann which said that it was the 16th. Lets see your card, says Ellen. Ann hastens to a drawer, pulls out a card and displays it triumphantly. Ellen points to the date. Alas, it is the 2Cth. With which Ellen chortles and gives Maria the celebrated wink. Well, anyway says Ann of the passionate nature, the calendar says its the 17th, and points to the glaring and unmistakable figures on the wall. Upon a closer inspection it is found that while the figures say seventeen that this is Friday and hence could not be the seventeenth since Tuesday was the 17th. We all know this because the taxes were paid by a family levy on that day. We discover that Tom, whose duty it is to change the calendar every morning hasn't pulled the intervening layers off the block since Tuesday and

that, after all, its the 20th. Ha! Ha! grins Ann snapping her lingers at Maria. If it isn't the 17th still I had some basis of reason for" saying it was. Now you hadn't any

for saying it was the 21st. Well its the 21st tomorrow, said Maria. And besides I was nearer to it than you were. You really must correct your habit of taiking to Maria, said Aunt Tabitha walking in just in time to hear Ann's last sentence. It is quite reprehensible that way you have of speaking to her. I can't have it in my house, said

Aunt Tabitha severely, and you must learn to conduct yourself in a more becoming manner, my dear Ann. Thank you, dear Aunt Tabitha, says Maria with her hypocritical lids modestly and injuredly cast down. Oh d ! slams Ann out of the door. Now this comes from having a calendar hung in a nice, convenient place on the wall for everybody to refer to. say you. Its the same with a watch or a clock or a thermometer, says Ellen. You know what a perfect pest people are who have watches. They're always pulling 'em out to see if its too late or too early or too something or other or to see if its one minute late by standard time or is running strictly according to schedule on sun time or to see if the New York mail is in and there will be time for you to get to the post office before it closes or if you can catch the eight fifteen car or can get down town in time for the sale of bath-room towels or to the

; station to speed the parting guest or

anything. People without watches get along as well as those with. Most people are on time, says Ellen. And yet the vast majority are not the possessors of watches. That's not half as bad. says Tom looking in, as regulating the temperature. There is nothing calculated to drive humanity to drink and destruction as rapidly as the habit of watching the quicksilver chase itself up and down in the little glass bulb. Everybody has a different idea of

what the temperature should be. I Some think its hot at sixty, others ;cool at eighty-four, i And when this diversity of opinion is entertained at any extended interjval in one apartment the latter is a i feeder for the police and divorce court. I For, after awhile, the only thing

mat matters is to be comfortable.

lou hay have loved him once but when he pries open the transom or pulls the windows down at the top, when you are much too cold as it is, and a draft begins to blow at a thousand miles an hour on-the back of your neck you give him a murderous glance

and wonder how you ever were lassoed and began the march to the altar. Finally when you can stand it no longer you jump up, grab an umbrella, bang the transom to and push the windew up with a resounding whack. You turn to find him examining the thermometeer under the electric light with ferocious scrutiny. Why its only fifty-eight, he says. I can't see why you can't be content to sit in a room that isn't up to the boiling point. Your skin is shriveling up with the heat and you've got wrinkles as deep as a knife blade on yourneck. If you knew what was good for you you'd sit in a cool room. What if you do weigh ninety and I weigh one hundred and eighty-five. Its only your imagination that makes you think its cold when we're down to sixty. You're always nagging. When a man stays at home you make it so confounded uncomfortable he wishe3 he hadn't. Now I'm going to pull the windowdown just two inches. I won't toucft the transom but that window has got to come down. I won't sizzle and stew in my own home. What! It was only sixty-five! Nonsense I guess I can see getting old am I need a pair of glasses well, I wish you were an pretty as that little Blinker girl in Tandem's office she's the sweetest little thing soon as old red-head leaves I'm going to have her in my office Tandem's an old grouch and doesn't deserve anything that nice in his office oh you wish she'd see me at home, do you that Tandem would be an angel in comparison? well, I won't have it over seventy. That is all there is about it. Don't argue I won't listen I'm pulling that window down two inches and its to stay well move if the draft's on your neck some-

i body's got to be considered in this j house besides you I You can find this going on In any ; block in town.

Two new typewriters, one for the city controller, and the other for the engineer's office, have been purchased at a cost of $105 each. The old machines in use were accepted by the agency for-$S5. A machine for the city clerk will be secured, if one with a large carriage can be obtained. It may be necessary to build a special machine for the assessment rolls which must be filled out on the type

writer.

in the membership campaign of the local Y. M. C. A. One hundred youngsters and older boys have been enlisted in this campaign which will be waged by the

'Reds' and the "Blues." It is gratifying to the Board of Directors to feel that the community is so thoroughly in accord with the work

of the Association and therefore it

feels encouraged to urge the heart y support of all friends of the Associ tion in making ihese two days memorable in the history of Y. M. C A. work in Richmond.

TWO BARGAIN DAYS AT LOCAL Y. M. C. A.

Plans for the great bargain day sale of memberships to be offered by the Young Men's Christian Association, October 1st and 2nd, are assuming definite shape. This is an unprecedented offer which the Association is making at this time and which in all probability will never be made again. This special discount of 25 gives an equal opportunity to the man or boy who has never been a member, as well as the present members, many of whom are already offering to renew their memberships. Richmond has a reputation far and near, as a Booster City in every good project, and it is desired to make a record for Indiana.

Only On King Buried In Iceland. In Iceland it is the boast of the native that "only one king is buried here." That was King Roerek of Nor way (vide Snorri Sturiuson's Saga. "Heimskringia"). whom King Olaf the Holy "shipped," with the significant hint that he need not be in any hurry to return to his native land. Roerek, who was a shrewd, peaceably minded monarch, took the hint, went to Iceland and a thousand odd years ago settled down to farming "at a little stead height. Calfskin, where were but few

serving folk, and there he dwelt and i on the fourth winter got the illness I which brough him to his bane. So. it!

Is said, he Is the only king that rests In Iceland."
