CARNIVAL A GRAND SUCCESS
What This Mark . Means When a manufacturer is ashamed of his product he puts no trade-mark on it—or perhaps a special trademark for a dealer foolish enough to buy “seconds.** When he is proud of his product, he puts his trademark on the goods. The genuine ATKINS SAWS bear the Atkins mark of pride, and it represents more than fifty years of growth of experience, of “know-how.” It represents a reputation that has been earned by conscientious effort through half a century to make the best saws the world has known.

One of the cleverest “stunts” ever pulled off at the University was the “DaPauw Carnival” in the armory in the University building, on Friday and Saturday nights. The affair was arranged by the Athletic Association and near $275 was cleared in the two nights. The Carnival was a minature “Midway.” Each fraternity and sorority in the University had a booth or show. There w'as every thing which went to make the affair a roaring success. There was a shooting gallery, “ring the cane” stand, “One baby down one cigar" stand, Merry go ronnd, Telegraph office. Camp of Zulu’s, Bijoe Theater, Minstrel show, Living picture show, and many other places 'of amusement. Admission to each show was five cents. Each' show had a “barker” and the dim and roar of the affair could be heard several blocks away. The Carnival was held in the armory in the old college building. Probably the hit of the Carnival was the Kappa Minstrel. Eleven sorority girls, in minstrel jackets of green, made a most pleasnig appearance and the minstrel was one of much quality. The performance, though short, was thoroughly enjoyable. Several of the young ladles in the “troup” have voices of exceptional quality. There always was a crowd of people jammed at the Minstrel show door waiting to get In at the next performance and seats there were at a premium. Many townspeople attended the Carnival.' The athletic association plan making the event an annual affair.

LIBRARY THIEVES.
by a LI-
Atsortoti Into Four Classes
brary Official.
“Library thieves fall into four classes,” said the librarian. “The first and most numerous Is the umbrella class, gender, I regret to admit, feminine. “This lady lounges about your library with an unrolled umbrella in her hand. If she sees a book she wants, 1 a magazine or a newspaper, pop it goes Into the umbrella's capacious folds, i Her type Is well known. Never carry an unrolled umbrella into a library If you would escape the surveillance of j the watchers and attendants. “Another class—male—steals weeklies. This daring tlTTbf rolls a weekly ! Into a cylinder, slips his hand through j It and works it up his sleeve. Fancy running such risks for a five or ten
cent weekly!
“A rure genus, feminine again, is the partitive or installment thief, who steals n book a few pages at a time. Though this genus Is known to libraries, I have met with but two specimens In ten years. One stole a Hall Caine and the other an II. A. Vaehell volume in installments. Both were more or less daft. “The most numerous class of all Is the open, dariag one. These people bluff. They walk out with a stolen book or paper under their arms as If it were their own. And. hang It, they escape, too. if they are careful that our label doesn’t show. “Out percentage of thefts? Well, we' count to have about two books in every hundred stolen.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The dog tax dodgers will experience no easy task in evading the assessors who come around this spring. More and more each year tax officials have become cognizant of the necessity of adopting stringent measures to get all of the dogs listed for taxes. In this connection it is well to note the amended dog tax laws as they now appear on the statute books. The first of these provides that a dog owner is liable for the tax the moment a dog becomes three months old, no matter what season of the year it may be. A fraction of a year Is regarded as an entire year. The owner must pay the assessor $1 for each male dog and $3 for each female dog. It is the duty of the assessor to furnish a receipt to the owner of the dog. These receipts arc not transferable and as often as the dog changes owners a new receipt is obligatory on the new owner. For any failure on his part he is subject to fine of $5 to $20. \ false statement as to sex or number of dogs to fhe assessor or of harboring a dog without reporting It Is punishable by a fine of
$100.
If you harbor a strange dog by feeding or concealing same you are liable to a $10 fine. It is the duty of the assessor to collect all dog tax, to keep a correct record of all dogs, the owners of same and make a true report to the trustee, and any failure on his part to do so makes him liable to a fine of $20. All false statements by owners of dogs when reported to the trustee by the assessor shall be turned over to the prosecuting attorney for collection, and the costs and fines shall be collected as in any other criminal acts of negligence.
connected with It I traded It for a | suburban lot. _ “The lot proved to tie In the middle j of a swamp, and when a real estate man offered me a horse and buggy for I it l took him up. “The horse ran away one day and smashed ‘.he buggy Into kindling wood. I traded the horse for a gold watch. “The watch wouldn’t keep good time, and I swapped it for a bicycle. One day 1 fell from the bicycle and put a Vflngcr out of joint. Then I exchanged the machine for a secondhand type-
writer.” “1 see.”
“And 1‘ve no use for the typewriter. Do you know of anybody that would give mo a good dog for It?”—Youth's Companion.
The Runner's Attitude. They were walking through the office of a big athletic club when one of the men stopped and said: “Do you see anything wrong with that painting?” indicating n mural decoration up above the clerk's desk. “No,” said the other, “I can't say that i do.” •'Well, It’s a tiling that most persons wouldn’t notice,” said the first man. “That runner there who Is just passing the finish line lias Ids left leg forward and has his left arm out at the same time. If ever you’ve had anything to do with athletics you’ll know that the arm extended always is the opposite to the leg, to keep the balance. You’ll notice that sort of thing all the time in athletic pictures made by those who don't study the sc.Washington 1‘ost.

Coached Eishballs—Salt codfish, slowly simmered, not boiled, for several hours; the prepared shredded variety that needs a few minutes’ soaking only, or any cold boiled or baked fish that may be on hand, can be used for this dish. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and let a finely minced shallot fry in it to a pale brown color. Add one cupful of bread crumbs, three tablespoonfuls of milk and three beaten eggs; cook for a moment, then add three-quart-ers of a pound of cold cooked fish, minced fine; season palatably with salt, pepper, nutmeg and chopped parsley, form in balls with flourefl hands, drop into gently boiling salted water and poach for ten minutes. Serve garnished with toast points and parsley. To save time in the morning, fishballs should be prepared the day before.—"Appetizing Breakfast Dishes,” In The Ladies’ World for March.
How It Works. Once there was a struggling young author who was blessed with many friends, all of whom told him that he was the coming great writer of the country. So one day a bright thought struck him. He said: “1 will publish my book, and all my friends who admire it so much will buy my book, and I will be rich.” So he printed his book. And all of his friends waited for him to send them autographed copies of his book. And so his books were sold as junk. And ever after he didn’t have any friends.—Success Magazine.
Ai'cadian Bliss. You frequently hear folks say they wish they were millionaires. But our Idea of happiness is the one that owns forty acres of land In the hills, doesn’t owe a cent, has a wife and seven children, five good coon dogs, a sorrel team of mules, a good shotgun, fortyseven miles from a railroad and right on a good stream of fish. If that would not be happiness “unalloyed” we would like to know where you would go to find it—Auxvasse (Mo,) Review.
Now that the delegates to the Republican state convention have been nominated and Jim Watson has four delegates from Putnam county, word comes to the Republicans from Indianapolis that Putnam county will hate to cast Its solid vote for William Taylor for Governor or that Marlon county will defeat the candidacy of Thomas T. Moore of this town for Joint senatorial nomination. John Ruckelhouse. chairman of the Marion county Republican committee, is a William Taylor man. The Marion county committee has left the appointment of the delegates to the joint senatorial convention In t’ue hands of Mr. Ruckelhouse. Mr. Moore’s fate rests upon the vote of Marion county. Unless Putnam county votes solidly for Taylor for governor, Mr. Ruckelhouse will appoint delegates to the Joint senatorial convention who are unfriendly to the candidacy •'f Mr. Moore and he will be defeated. If Putnam comes to the front and votes for Taylor, delegates friendly towards Mr. Moore will be appointed. As one of the Watson men said here this afternoon “The \\ atson men are between the devil and the deep blue sea.”
