Go dig a bole la the ground and set a post fire or six feet high. Nail a stick across the top. Tie a fine string to a ring three inches in diameter and suspend it from the end of the stick. Break up a diamond If you make the error of wearing one and centering your mind on the useless bauble rather thou upon nature and her majestic laws; select a minute fragment so small that if spherical seventy-one 6ide by side would make a row one Inch long aud suspend the tiny globe by means of a fine fiber of silk in the center of the ring. Then walk away on a straight line 0.31 miles, turn around and look back. The ring would be invisible, and it would require the keenest eye to see the post. If indeed any could see It Get a good telescope and you might Just see the ring against the sky on a white background, but the diamond would be Invisible. Come up here, get the sixteen inch telescope, try it. and the diamond sphere could not be seen. Go get a forty or sixty Inch telescope, still the diamond would not come Into view. Then get a 3.000,000 candle power electric arc searchlight and by means of a big lens concentrate the light on the diamond. Then a much smaller telescope would reveal it Go to the giant star sun, Slrius the dog star. Take a very large telescope with you, turn around and look back this way. Then the orbit of the earth, a ring 1S6,000,000 miles in diameter, would appear to be as three inches in diameter Tiewed from 9.31 miles, and the sun as the, one seventy-first of an inch In diameter.

Riley DayNext Monday.

Next Monday the nation Is to pay tribute to the nation's greatest Hying poet, Mr. James Whitcomb Riley, of Lockerbie Btreet, Indianapolis. This is a compliment not only to Mr. Riley but to the state of Indiana, which claims him as one of its greatest sons. The other day a man passing an Edison record agency in this city faintly heard the rythmatic, melodious refrain of the ever popular "Ragedy Man." He stepped into the store and then recognized the voice in the instrument was that of the beloved Hoosier poet, but the voice was weak and the words came slowly. It came home to the listener then, with a heart pain, that the sweet singer of Lockerbie street was held captive in his modest little home by a cruel malady. His condition, close friends state, is much Improved over what it was a year ago, but be is still quite feeble. Riley probably has more sympathetic knowledge of the traits and customs of the American people, found in the ordinary walks of life, than any American poet He lived their life, once as an itinerant medicine show entertainer, once as an itinerant sign painter, and assimilated their homely speech and quaint, dry humor. This he put into verse with his remarkable genius and his works will survive for all ages, because combined with its great literary merit his verse is such it can be understood and appreciated by all classes. The droll, eccentric manner employed by Riley, when an obscure young man, city editor of an Anderson, Ind., newspaper, to bring himself into the public view is related with relish by his close friends. Riley had been desperately attempting to sell his verse to the magalines, but without success. He knew that his work was as meritorious as a great portion of the poetry appearing in the periodicals, so be concluded that his offerings were rejected because he was unknown to the public. So, half In jest, he once remarked he would wager he could write a poem over the signature of a well-known poet, and it would be accepted as genuine. Since Riley and his friends were all fond of a practical joke, he soon wrote a poem in exact imitation of Edgar Allen Poe. The poem, copied on the fly-leaf of an old dictionary, was sent to the editor of a paper in Kokomo, Indiana. This editor was let into the secret, and since the Anderson artist who had copied the Riley poem into the old book had succeeded in imitating Poe's writing to a nicety, he thought it safe to publish the story suggested by Riley and his friends. This was to the effect that the book belonged to an old man of the neighborhood, who had Inherited It from his grandfather, at one time a tavefn keeper in "Virginia. One night, according to family tradition, a young man who showed plainly the marks of dissipation, had applied at the tavern for a night's lodging. He had been shown to a room, but instead of retiring, spent moot of the night in pacing the floor. When the family arose in the morning the young man had gone. His bill remained unpaid, but he had left behind the book with the poem written on the fly-leaf. A story of this kind sounded very much like the escapades of Edgar Allen Poe, and since the poem was written exactly in Poe's style, and the initials signed to it were E. A. P., the Kokomo editor stated in the story he published that he felt certain he had discovered a heretofore unpublished poem by Poe. The story went the rounds of the press, and the greatest Poe authorities became interested. They wrote pro and con, but It was the general opinion that the poem was genuine and that it was the greatest literary find of the century. When the matter became so widespread that it ceased to be a joke, the hoax was exposed, and Mr. Riley's employer in Anderson was so incensed that the ambitious young poet was discharged immediately. He returned once more to Greenfield, distressed that what had been intended merely as a joke should have so serious an ending. His discouragement was not to last for long, however, for the attention of the editor of the Indianapolis Journal had been attracted to the poet, and he was employed to contribute a daily column of verse to that paper.

It Is almost impossible to hang a woman in this country, but in old time England this was not the case. King George III. once offered twenty-three woman offenders an alternative to hanging. They might should they choose, be transported instead. Six of them voted for hanging. Many women were then hanged for far less crimes than smashing windows. George Paston, for instance, notes the fate of a woman left husbandless by the press gang: "Rendered desperate, she entered a shop and took up a piece of linen. but laid it down again. For this she was condemned to death and was hanged, we are told, with her Infant at her breast"

CONTRACTS CEASE

The board of public works has practically ceased letting contracts for street improvements for this season. During the winter months it will perfect details of the improvements planned for next year and let contracts early in the spring to enable contractors to complete their work before winter sets in. ELKS Meet Every Thursday Night THE FRUGAL ARABS. They Live on Two Simple Meals of Bread and Dates a Day. The daily routine of the Arab is simple and well ordered. He Is up with the daybreak and as soon as possible loads his camels; then he rides for some four or five hours before he has his first morning meal; then he is off again until late in the afternoon, wnen a halt is made for the night. Supper usually consists of warm bread, with an onion or dates as a relish. Bread is prepared in as simple a manner as possible. While the coarse flour and water are being kneaded into dough a large fire is made, which provides a good heap of hot ashes. On part of these the flattened dough is laid, then covered with the remainder of the ashes. In about fifteen minutes the dough is sufficiently bilked. It is then well beaten to free it from ashes, broken in pieces and divided among those who from their bags have contributed the meal. After the evening feast coffee is made by some member of the party and, poured out into tiny cups, is solemnly handed around to each one. Dates often take the place of bread in Arabia. There are many varieties, and the composition of the date does not differ so very much from that of bread. Fat is lacking In both, but this is supplied by the butter churned in skin bugs suspended from a tripod and shaken or rolled on the ground. Chicago News.

The attention of T. P. A. members is especially called to the fact that Monday, October 7th is the last day for registration of voters. Unless you registered at either the May or September session of the board you cannot vote unless you register at the j October session of the board of registratioii. You can register on Monday, I October 7th at any time between the hours of 5 o'clock a. na. and 6 o'clock p. m. If you registered at either the May or September session and have since moved into another precinct you will have to go to the county auditor and get from him a certificate of your first registration and present this to the board in the precinct in which you now reside. While it is some trouble to register and takes some time, it is not only the privilege but the duty of every good citizen to take this time and trouble in order that he may perform his duty as a patriotic citizen and exercise the rights granted them by the constitution of the United States. Knowing every T. P. A. to be a patriotic citizen and vitally interested in the nation's welfare it is to be hoped no member will forfeit this privilege and right to vote at this election by not registering. Have you seen Chas. O. Tooker lately? Well of all the "connecting links" that has been found, with a decided lean toward the lower part of the chain, our friend is it. Looking ai him coming, going, or on the bias, he is enough to make the Glen Park pets set up and take notice. For heavens sake "Took" let that fierce mustache grow again or we will be forced to charge admission. At a very interesting meeting of the post last Saturday night it was decided to give the ladies an evening of entertainment on Saturday, November 3. The affair is in charge of our committee on arrangements, assisted by the entertainment committee and we want to assure the good girls of Post C that no effort will be spared to make this evening one long to be remembered. It is the hope of the membership that our efforts will be rewarded by the attendance of all the wives) and daughters of the post members. M. E. Shreeve, as chairman of the arrangements committee, is buying a lot of much needed kitchen equipment for use this winter, at the various social functions being planned. Don't forget that next Saturday is rally day. E. E. Lebo as chairman of the membership committee will be a very active individual on that occasion. Everybody get a hustle and help our National Secretary, T. Schuyler Logan, make good his promise of 700 new members for Indiana Division this year. With Richmond hotels " very much improved and accommodations increased, with our cab and taxi-cab service adequate when "Alexander's Rag Time Band" brings forth those long promised new street cars to take the place of those beloved wagons that have been parading our streets, things will surely begin to loom up in Richmond. It will begin to look like we would have nothing more to kick about except the freight service on the C. & O. Say! Boys, you who make C. & O. territory what do you think of their freight service.

Prevent Hair Loss By Using Herpicide in Time

Did you ever try to discover a reason for the dying of a valuable plant? You perhaps found that life was destroyed by some insect or parasite working about the roots and sapping away the elements which go to support plant life. The dandruff germ exercises the same destructive influence upon the life of the hair. It forces its way down the follicle around the hair bulb and thus prevents the hair from getting proper nourishment. The hair dies and drops out. Newbro's Herpicide prevents this by killing the germ. It also frees the

The iegeud thut Tavolara is an independent state owes its origin to a royal prank. While making a progress through his dominions in 1833 King Charles Albert reached Terrnnova, a small port on the northeast coast of Sardinia. Here Paul Bertoleonl was presented to the king as the representative of Tavolara, an island seven milea away. He informed his majesty that all the inhabitants of the island were Bertoleonis and that he was the ueud of the family. The fisherman bowed his knee as a subject and rose a king, for Charles was s amused that ho laughingly gave him sovereignty. 1'anl I. took the matter seriously, and it became the custom for foreign warships to salute the island to keep up the joke.

A great many people also need occasionally to take a tonic. Probably fv households exist that do not make us of tonics and laxatives. The remedy Peruna is a laxative tonic. It not only operates as a "jentla laxative, but also as a tonic. The benefit derived from such a remedy is a great deal more in the prevention of disease than in the cu:e. After a person has become really sick either with an acute or chronic ailment, the rule should be to employ a physician, or some one who can glv the case bis personal attention. But long before this happens the person will complain of this or that symptom which is not severe enough to interfere with his regular activities. If at this place before the disease has really gained a foothold In the system, a person was to take a dose or two of a good tonic laxative the great majority of cases of sickness would be prevented.

Its virtu aa a preventive to disease is the thing I wish chiefly to emphasize. A slight condition of constipation may lead to serious sluegishneas of the bowels, billiousneas. re-absorption of poisonous material and finally sick ness. Or apathy of the stomach in which the food is not relished, may gradually lead to atonic dyspepsia or to the acquisition of some acute disease. For either one of these conditions a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna would set matters right. This is why the remedy should always be kept handy by. When once the value of Teruna as a household remedy ia understood no home would be without it. Cathartica pills and powdera would be discarded. Irritating tonics would be no longer taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no place. With a few doses of Peruna a vigorous appetite la produced and if there is any sluggishness of the bowels their function is gradually restored Most laxatives are weakening in their effect. A tonic laxative guards against this weakening effect. Until right living has become so thoioughly established that all medicine? are superfluous, Peruna will be needed. It is exactly the remedy that meets numerous necessities of the household. Sold at all drug store. Mr. John B. Perkina.
