By Combination.

An Englishman in want of a coach man had an Irishman apply for The situation when the following conver sation took place between them: “You know, Pat, if I engage you" I shall expect you to do things by combination. For instance, if I tell you to bring the carriage around at a given time, I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, etc.” “Yes, sorr,” said Pat. He was duly engaged and gave satisfaction. One day his master came to him in a hurry, telling him to look sharp and go for a doctor, as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a long time, and on his master grumbling for his delay he said: “Sure, they’re all here, sorr.” “All here?” said the master. “What do you mean?” < __ “Didn’t you tell me tp do things by combination?” ' “What’s that got to do with it?” said the master. “Well,” said Pat', “I’ve got the doctor, the parson and the undertaker.”

Labor Day Proclamation.

Governor Marshall’s Labor Day proclamation, just issued, designates Monday, September 6, in the following words: “From the beginning of time it has been part of the economy of life that man should labor. He who fails to do his share shirks a duty and imiloses a burden upon his fellow man. And yet this world-old custom has nowhere been dignified as it deserves save in the United States of America. Elsewhere it is not thought wrong that many should toil to create, while few should exist to destroy: In Indiana the honest son of toil who does an honest day’s labor is a peer of our realm and should gather all the fruit of his toil untithed by adverse legislation. Such citizens should be esteemed and honored. The republic can survive loss of wealth and name, but honest toil of hand, and brain, and heart, are vital to it. “To the end that those who love labor may not think their work forgotten, and in accordance with law and custom, I proclaim Monday, September 6, 1909, a holiday. On that day let those who toil with their hands exult in their high calling; let those who toil with their brains seek the highest and best that trust can offer; and let all who love a country, the chief asset of which is the character of its citizenship and sturdiness of its manhood, gfve every heartbeat to the prayer that the hour may soon come when industrial troubles will be settled, not by the law of the land, but by the law of universal brotherhood. May the day promote justice, charity and peace. THOMAS R. MARSHALL, Governor.”

ROBERT PARKER SAID TO BE IN GOOD HEALTH.

Attorneys and Bank Trustee Saw Him In Penitentiary Tuesday When -Depositions Were Taken. Attorney Geo. A. Williams of this city, Attorney Emery B. Sellers, of Monticello, and Trustee Cheedle, of the failed Remington bank, were in Michigan City Tuesday for the purpose of securing depositions from Robert Parker, the bank wrecker, in the case of Mrs. 'SHaria Vondersmith against the Remington Building and Loan Association. The visitors found Mr. Parker in excellent spirits and apparently in the very best of health, contrary to a recent statement from one of Parker’s attorneys, which was to the effect that he could not live long in confinement, and which is thought to have been the first signal that an effort was to be made to procure his release. Mr. Parker’s hands Y ere soft and white and it is understood that he has a very easy position as librarian at the penitentiary, and that aside from the confinement being irksome he is" not having a very hard time at the penitentiary. He was sentenced for from 2 to 14 years on a plea of guilty for embezzlement. The Vondersmith case has attracted considerable attention. She took money to the Parker bank tb deposit and received what she presumed to be a slip of deposit. After the bank failed it transpired that the slip she had received was not a bank deposit but a building and loan certificate. As Mr. Parker was the secretary of the building and loan association it is hoped by Mrs. Vondersmith, who has employed Attorney Williams, to hold the association responsible. Attorney Sellers represents the B. & L. association. Hats trimmed to suit your own individual ideas by expert trimmers, at Rowles & Parker’s new millinery department. Get a can of those fine N. Y.

“Moses, Prince of Egypt"

Moses, the great law-giver, and one of the most tremendous figures of ancient history, at the age of forty years, killed an Egyptian, who was oppressing a Hebrew, and was forced to flee from Egypt and hid,e away in the desert of Midian to escape the vengeance of the Egyptians. He fled by bight, and finally came to the desert and sat down by the well of Jethro’s to rest. While he was sitting there the seven daughters of Jethro came to the well to draw water for the flocks. Some rough men, arriving at the time, drove the damsels away with curses and evil speech, and the girls wept and fled. Then Moses aroused himself and drove the men away, and, calling the damsels back, saw that they were protected. Jethro, when he heard what had happened, invited Moses to his home, and in due time gave his daughter, Zipporah, to him in marriage. For forty years he lived in the land of Midian, and tended the flocks of Jethro. Finally at the expiration of the two score years he was called 'back to Egypt to free his countrymen. At the age of eighty years. Moses appeared before Pharaoh and demanded that the Hebrews be freed. Pharaoh refused. Then Moses, with the aid of the supernatural powers, brought to pass a series of disasters that finally catised the king to allow the people to depart, and, in fact insisted that they leave his kingdom. First, the river Nile became discolored, and the fish died in it, thus making the water foul and unhealthful; next followed a plague of frogs, which was almost intolerable; vast swarms of flies darkened the skies in due course of time, and even the dust in the streets turned in vermin to vex hnd harass the Egyptians. A mirrain broke out among the cattle, and skin diseases and boils visited the people. A terrible tempest came near obliterating the city; darkness covered the earth for three days, and finally the first born of man and beast died. The Hebrews, by sprinkling blood on their doorposts, escaped this last terrible calamity. Even after the Hebrews had started on their vyay, the .Egyptians pursued them, and the Red Sea, divid-

ing at the approach of the Hebrews, closed over the hosts of Pharaoh, and the vast army was annihilated. It is with Moses, this tremendous character, and with the acts of his long life that the biblical romance, “Moses, Prince of Egypt” deals. It is a play founded on the facts in the early life of Moses, tinged with romance of his early years in Egypt and in Midian, that this new play by Henry Thorn Hum deals. The resourceful young actor, William Lemle, enacts the part of Moses, and this absorbing play will be seen at the opera house, Saturday, September 11th.
