A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE!'

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

many times, no doubt, it isn't. There's

one

man in the city who wishes he had loaned a

friend

a dollar, when asked to

do so, as the refusal cut him out of a will that left him some money. It was like this: A certain old man, who was without relatives, and who, while living, was able to make only an ordinary salary, had a policy for $2,000 in one of the mutual insurance associations, which he desired at his death to be divided among several of his friends. Without their'knowledge, he bad a lawyer prepare bis wlii, in which he named the parties and amounts, which he ohanged a time or two before finally deciding on the exact proportion he would give each of the beneficiaries. Some time after he had finally madeup his mind as to how he wished the money divided after his death, he lost his position by the closing down of one of our leading industrial establishments. Depending on hisdaily wages for his living, it was not long until he was short oi funds, and one day when in need of a dollar he naturally thought of one of the parties for whom he had provided in his will, as a person most likely to make him the loan. He hunted up this man, explained his condition, and asked the loan of a dollar until he could find work. The man answered him

Bhortly,

Pi 'k

U!':

said he had no dol

lars to give away, and refused the loan. It cut the old man to the quick, and he made a bee line for the lawyer who bad drawn up the will, and had it rewritten, leaving out entirely the man who had refused the loan, and then to make it so clear that there could be no .misunderstanding be added to the will the explanation that be desired all to know that Mr. So-and-So was to get' nothing out of the insurance money. It so happened that a short time after the old man died, and when his will was read, one man found that he was out about two hundred dollars by his refusal to loan his old friend a dollar. So hereafter when some friend temporarily in distress strikes you for a dollar, possibly it would be wise to let him have it, for he may have provided for you in his will.

I think everybody will agree that Charley Baur ought to have a medal for firing out of his hotel the cur of a traveling man who peeped through the transom at the newly-married actress while she was preparing to retire. A fellow as contemptible as that doesn't deserve the name of man, and he is a disgrace to his profession, which contains as many honorable, upright men as any other. If he had received his deserts in full, however, he would have been drummed out of town to the tune of the "Rogues' March."

It struck me, though, as it no doubt struck others, that it would have been just as well if the young woman in question had suppressed the fact that she was taking a bath when the fellow aooosted her. It was enough that her husband should know this, without taking the publlo into her confidence,

A mother never realizes completely that her son 1s nearing manhood until he gets his first "girl." The ohanging voice and the budding mustache are premonitory symptoms that pass unobserved, but when he gets his first oase of real, stlok-to-her-tlll-I-dte love, It dawns on the mother that he has a through ticket to Mau's Estate, on which no stopover privileges are allowed. And speaking of young men and their first loves, reminds uie of a oase that ocourred recently, showing the ends the youug ones of to-day will go to to be with their heart's desire. This young man, who has a sweetheart living in a neighboring town, went up to the World's Fair for a ten days' stay. Seeing all the sights in less time than this he boarded the train for home, but on arriving at the Union depot, Instead of going home, he boarded a train for his sweetheart's town, where he spent several days basking in the sunshine of her sweetest smiles. When the time came for his expected return, and ho failed to put In an appearance, and sent no explanation of his absence, the fear arose that he had been ensnared by some of the beauties of the Midway, or else had been devoured by the South Sea Islanders—they of the cannibalistic frame of mind. In due time, however, he oame home, and relieved the suspense, but it is safe to say that he will pay no more Impromptu visits to the only girl he ever loved—at least while she lives so many miles away.

The Indiana building at the World's Fair caught fire this week, it it thought the result of spontaneous combustion caused by consuming regrets at the poor display of the Hooaier State at the Fair. The only thing that saved it was that It was bnilt by Terre Haute people.

The resignation of Mr. Throop has

been accepted, to take effect with the naming of his successor. It is expected that this will be done at once, for the practical settlement of the silver question will give the president an opportunity to dish out some offices. It is thought^ here, even by the best friends of some *of the other candidates that

How many men, when asked by an Judge Jump is practically assured of impecuneous friend for the loan of a the appointment, although the other dollar, are wont to say, "I haven't got candidates have not given up hope. It it." Many, times it is the truth, but is said that when James M. Bolton, of

Fayette township, who is a candidate, visited the president, he made a great talk against the Judge's appointment and prophecied the direst results should it be made. It is not thought, however, that he strengthened his own chances any by so doing. It pays to "tote fair" even in politics, and you never make anything by running down your opponent.

He denies of course that this marvelous wheel had anything to do with his trip, but it is a denial that doesn't deny.

The creditors of the Vigo R©41 Estate company will hold a meeting next Tuesday evening, to take steps'"toward getting the company out ol the hands of the receiver.

It is a curious thing that whenever there is talk of hard times and financial depression there is always an increase in the number of marriages. Statistics and the records of the court show that in the years of business depression the records of marriages has noticeably in-, oreased. The present year is no exception, for during the month of September County Clerk Roquet issued 55' lioeiisef and so far this month 37 lloe^sesi bijre been issued! It really seems, however, that when questions of lessened extravagance and more attention and care- i^ business matters come up, many young men turn their thoughts to marriage and conclude that it is a good time,to settle down and try the calm delights of domesticity. It is the single man, the rollicking bachelor, as a rule, who Indulges in expensive luxuries and squanders his money and very often he Is able to figure out that marriage would be for him a genuine economy.

AMUSEMENTS.
