Heart to Heart Talks. By-EDWIN A.NYE.

GET UP AND GO ON. Been knocked down? Or have you fallen down as the re suit of your own stupid stumbling? Well, you are not the first to fee! the force of the flst of misfortune, noi the first to trip himself by awkward traveling. And you say, "No one has so man; troubles, no one has had such 111 lucl as I." Nonsense! How do you know how many times yon smiling fellow has fallen or beer toppled over by some adverse wind? And say Do you know when you commence to deplore your fallen condition and bemoan your personal fate you lessen your power to get up and walk like a man? It is no disgrace to have been bowled over by a strong tackle or to have tripped yourself. The disgrace inheres ir lying there. Because, once down, you know the worst is over. Get up! Get up if only on your hands and knees. If you can't stand erect crawl. It is a craven thing to lie there on your face and whine and make no ef fort. If you are badly wounded there are good Samaritans who will lift you up, but if you are a little stunned and scratched and lie prone passersby will merely shrug their shoulders at th spectacle. Get up! Get up and learn your lesson. If youi feet have slipped because of careless habit watch hereafter where you pul them. If the fall was no fault of yours get up and rub your wounded shins und trudge on. Do you want the rules of the road suspended just for you? What sort of pampered baby would you be were there no rocks in the way nnd no sharp corners to turn, and no fierce winds to face? Jumping hurdles makes muscles. Yours is the common lot of the traveler. Tou learn the road by going over it. You develop endurance by falling down and getting up again. Get up! You will never get around the next bend in the road by lying where you have fallen. Get up and go on.

The Masonic Calendar

Reduced Lighting Rates. It is really amusing to witness Mayor Zimmerman posing not only as the father of the Municipal plant but its one and only friend. And as a token of his great friendship for the institution he has for the past three years refused to permit the city to pay its just debts to the municipal plant, incurred by the lighting of streets and public places. In advocating the reduction of rates of the municipal plant the Palladium dismisses as nonsensical the charge of the mayor that it is a political trick to injure him, for it is unnecessary to use the municipal plant as a weapon to light Dr. Zimmerman. When the time is ripe the doctor's political ambitions can be wrecked very easily by the simple recitation of the various acts of incompetency during what was promised to be the "best administration Richmond ever had." As to the reduction of municipal lighting rates the Palladium calls attention to the fact that the primary function of a municipal plant, under the laws of Indiana, is not to earn big profits but to furnish the people with the cheapest electricity possible. After the municipal plant meets its running expenses and places in its sinking fund the required amount for depreciation and expansion it has no further use for profits, because the state law prohibits a municipal plant contributing to the general fund of the city. The Palladium also calls attention to the fact that it has been through the folly of Mayor Zimmerman that bigger dividends, in the shape of reduced rates, have not been paid the stockholders in the municipal plant, who are the taxpayers of Richmond, because the mayor has declined to allow the city to pay its debts to the plant, although if any citizen gets a month behind in his account with the plant he is waited upon by a collector. It goes without saying that a rate reduction cannot be made so long as the plant must light the streets and public places free of charge. When the plant receives a square deal from the city government then a rate reduction will be justified. An injustice is not only done the municipal light plant itself but its hundreds of loyal patrons by the city refusing to pay for the electricity it uses, because under the administration's assinine policy the cost of municipal lighting is not met by all the taxpayers as should be the case, but only by those citizens who are patrons of the city plant. The man who patronizes the Light, Heat & Power company, in other words, gets all the advantage of well lighted streets, parks and public buildings without direct or indirect taxation.

BOSTON BANK BOYS CROWD CITY SECURES CHARTER I JAIL THIS MORNING

(Palladium Special) BOSTON, Ind., Dec. 17. Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday with the secretary of state by the Farmers' State Bank of Boston. The capital stock is $12,500. Jesse T. Druley is president and Sam T. Donahey, cashier. The bank will be opened for business some time next year.

India Rubber Tree Fruit. The fruit of the India rubber tree is somewhat similar to that of the Iticinus communis, the castor oil plant, though somewhat larger. The seeds have a not disagreeable taste and yield a purplish oil. It is a fairly good substitute for linseed oil, though it dries less rapidly. Mixed with copal blue and turpentine, it makes a good varnish. The oil may also be used in the manufacture of soaps and lithographic inks. The seeds are somewhat like tiny chestnuts, although darker in color. The Indian girls are fond of wearing bracelets and necklets made of them.

The police court looked like a small orphan asylum this morning when

' Ralph Ward was arraigned for assault ! on James Johns. A number of boys

whose ages varied from 12 to 17 were subpoenaed as witnesses and testified against Ward. The argument took place on North Seventh street. Several blows fanned the air but none of the witnesses stated that either boy was hit. It was however proven that Ward pushed Johns and was fined $1 and costs for the offense. Each of the

i five witnesses claimed a fee.

A Funny Misprint, One of the most ludicrous announcements that ever appeared perhaps was made by a London newspaper in the earlier, half of the last century to the effect that Sir Robert Peel "and a party of fiends were shooting peasants in Ireland." The words misprinted, of course, were "friends" and "pheasants."

The Way Spaniards Smoke.

I The Spaniards are the most expert

smoUers In the world. A untlve takes a heavy pull at bis cigarette, inhales' the smoke, takes up a wtne skin or bot tie, pours half a piot down his throut, holding the vessel a foot from his mouth, without spilling a drop, and then, with a sigh of satisfaction, closes his eyes and exhales the smoke from his nose and mouth in clouds. He will also inhale the smoke, converse for )i few minutes In a natural manner ana then blow out the smoke.

GOOD BLOOD. Given good, clean, healthy blood. Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils, pimples or skin disease of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus it stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not cure all diseases, will help in fighting any disease and will cure those mentioned above, all of which come from bad blood. Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson of Richmond, was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blood purifier ever known. After his death this prescription was regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpeon's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and in forty years haB never failed, even in that most dreadful of all blood diseases, syphillis in its worst stage. And when an alterative will do that it of course cleans and rebuilds blood affected with other troubles. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is purely vegetable, and as harmless as it is' effective. It ie sold at $1.00 per bottle at all drug stores. Advertisement.

GREEK STRATAGEM.

A FAMOUS BEACON. The Navesink Light. Near Sandy Hook, Is a Wonder. The most powerful light in America is housed ou a promontory uear Sandy Hook. 250 feet above the beach, where it acts as a safeguard to all ships entering or leaving the harbor of New York. It is called Navesink light and is of 95.000.000 candle power. At fifteen or twenty miles its flash Is as pointed and brilliant as a star. On a perfectly clear night its shaft of light can be seen 100 miles at sea. When it was erected it was operated at twice its present candle power." But ocean pilots objected to its strenRth. saying that so amazing an electric flash actually blinded them and interfered with their work. Uncle Sam heard the prayer of the pilots and turned down his pet lamp to 03.000,000 caudle power The amount of oil consumed by the engine that provides the power for the llsht is only one gallon and seveneighths an hour. That is the astonishing thing to the unscientific visitorthe comparatively small expense and effort required to maintain so great a light. There are two fair sized dyna nios and two oil engines. One set 13 always kept in reserve. Of course the tremendous candle power' Is developed by means of a groat lens, made in France. The lens weichs seven tons and a half, 1 seven Inches thick and rest- In mercury. It is revolved with ease. Saturday Evening Post.

Military Tactics That Won Where Strength Was Lacking. After the decline of Home the center of the world's military progress v;is for seven or eight centuries transferred to the Greek empire. Constantinople ruled elements of a mui'h !es homogenerous nature than Koine in her prime had deended upon. There was less loyalty to the central niie there and far less liberty under it. The decisive military fart of the eut was, however, that Byzantium had to contend against overwhelming numerical superiority in its (!;.:. :ev Soutli of it, from the Indies to the Atlantie. was the Saracen empire, burning with the real of a new religion. To t!:e east were the Seljnk Turks. while to the north were the Bulgarians ai:J the Slavonian and Ilunir tribes Against such odds it was useless im ply to matrh man for man. The military lenders of t lie empire were full of military spirit and took keen delight in war as a game, but they were the descendants of I'lysses. and they made of war a game of tlnesse. of rleernes in short, a war of wits. By their spying and bribes, by btirring up treason in the enemy's ramp, by surprises, simulated retreats and ambush, they illustrated the saying of Baron Uut stratagen Is a weaker kind of pli.y used by those who are not strong enough to win by fairer method-.-! idward D.
