The Sunday edition of the Chicago Examiner devoted a half page of valuable space to a malicious attactupon Vice-President. Fairbanks The article waS written by Albert Henry Lewis and the attact is not confined to the Vice President but his wife and parents are given a touch of this gentleman’s? sarcasm. The article does not deal with the officiuT'oareer of Fairbanks but the writter loses all sense of decency and plunges into the private life,of his victim. , Young man, if you have any desire to know the sort of fellow you are, and the impression you make upon others, look at the companions you choose and with whome you find most pleasure. Study their habits, learn what people think of them, see what they do and what they find pleasure in and you will very quickly kaon the sort of man you are. If you like their ways, respect them, enjoy their society, you may safely arrive at the conclusion that you are of about the same sort.-—Elk-hart Review.

Touching Incident, • BY REQUEST. This touching incident was given to the press from the pen of Rev. J. M. Dosh, of lowa. The conductor is still, and leading a Christian life: In traveling, we often meet with person of different nationalities and languages. We also meet with incidents of various character, some sorrowful, others joyful and instructive. One of the latter characters I witnessed recently, while traveling upon the oars. The train was going west, and the time evening. At a station a little girl about eight years old came aboard jarring a little budget under her arm. She came into the car and deliberately took a seat. She then commenced an eager scrutiny of faces, but all were strange to her. She appeared weary, and placing the budget for a pillow, she prepared to try to secure a little sleep. Soon the conductor came along collecting ticket and fare. Observing him, she asked if she might lie there The gentlemanly conductor replied that she might, and kindly asked for her ticket. She informed him that she had nhne, when the fallowing conversation ensued. Baid the conductor: “Where are you going?” “She answered: I am going to heaven.” He asked again. “Who pays your fare?” She said, “MistErfdoes this railroad lead to heaven, and does Jesus travel on it?” “He answered. “1 think not. Why did you think so?” “Why,' sir. before mp ma died she used th sing to me of a heavenly railroad, and you looked so nioe and kind 1 was thinking this was the road. My ma used to sing to me of Jesus on the heavenly railroad, and that he paid the fare for eveybody;and that 'the train stopped at every station to take the people on board,. But my ma don’t sing to me any more. Nobody sings to me now, and I thought I’d take the oars and to ma. Mis--ter‘ do you sing to your little girl about the railroad that goes to heaven?” He replied, weeping, “No, my little dear, I have no little girl nowj I had one once, but she died some time ago, and went to heaven.” Again she asked, ‘ Did she go over this railroad; and are you going to see her now?” By this tinje all persons in the coach were upon their feet, and most of them were weeping. An attempt to describe what 1 witnessed is aimost futile. Some said, “God bless the little girl.” Hearing soma pearson say that she was an angle, the little girl earnestreplied. “Yes, my ma used to say I would be an angle sometime.” Addressing herself once more to the conductor she asked him, “Do you love Jesus?” ' 1 do, and if you love him he will let to heaven on this railroad, lam going there, and I wish you would go with me. I know J esus will let me into heaven when 1 get there, and he will let you in too, and everybody that will ride on his railroad — yes, all these people. Wouldn't you like to see heaven, and Jesus, and your little girl?” These words, so innocently and pathetically uttered, brought a gush of tears from all eyes, but most profusely from the eyes of the conductor. Some t who were traveling on the heavenly railroae shouted aloud for joy. She now asked the conductor, “Mister, may I lie here until we get to heaven?” He answered, “Yes, dear, yes.” She then asked, “Will you wake me up then, ao that Lmay see my ma, your little girl, and Jesus! for I do so much want to see them all.” The answer came in broken accents,' but in words very tenderly spoken, “Yes, dear angle, yes. God bless you!” “Amens” was sobbed by more than a score of voices. Turning her eyes again upon the conductor, she interrogated him: “What shall I tell your little girl when i see her? shall I say to her that I saw her pa on Jesus’s railroad? Shall I?” This brought a fresh flood of tears from all present; and the conductor kneeled by her side, and embraced her, wept the reply he could not utter. At this juncture the brakesman called out “H s.” The conductor arose and requested him to attend to his [ the ooEduotor’s ] duty at the station, for be was engaged. That was a preciods place. 1 thank God

that I was a witness to thia scene, but I was sorry that at this point I was obliged to leave the tram. We learn from this incident that out oi the mouth of even babes God hath oidained strergdi; and that we ought to be willing to represent the cause of our blessed Jesus even in a railroad coach. A few mountli after the above occurrence I received the following from the conductor. Rev.Dosh:—l wish to relieve my heart by writing to you, and saying that, that angle visit on the oars was a blessing to me, although I did not realize it in its fulness until some hours after. But blessed be the redeemer, I know now I am his, and he is mine. Ino longer wonder why Christiana are happy. Oh, my joy, my joy! The instrument of my sal vation has gone to God. 1 had proposed adopting her in the place of my little daughter, who is now in heaven. With this intention 1 took her to C—B—, and on my return trip I took her back to S—n, where she left the cars. In consultation with my wifd in regard to her, she replied, “Yes, certainly, and hums diately, too, for there is a divine providence in this. Oh,” said she, “I never could refuse to take under my charge the instrument of my husband’s salvation.” I made inquiry for the child at S—n, and learned that in three days after her return she died suddenly, without any apparent disease, and her happy soul had gone to dweel with her ma, my little girl, and the angles in heaven. I was sorry te hear of her death; but my sorfow is turned to joy when I think of my angle-daugh-ter received intelligence from earth concerning her pa, and that he is on the heavenly railway. O Sir, methinks I see her near the Redeemer. I think I hear her sing, “I’m safe at home, and pa and ma are coming, and will soon be there.” O my dear sir, I am glad that I formed your aquaintance. May the blessing of the great God rest upon you. Please write to me and be assured, Reverand Sir, I would be happy to meet you again. Mrs. Margaret Miller of South Bend will be in town Thursday night in the interest of the Royal Neighbors which she hopes to organize here in collection with the Modern Woodman of America. The Indiana Associated Weeklies, the organization of publishers in the state outside of the county seats, is interested in a bill which will be presented to the General Assembly during the present session to provide for uniform laws for the publication of legal notices in newspapers. This 'measure is predicated on the principle of “the greatest good -o the greatest number” and the publishers who are back of the movement justly consider the laws which are now on the statute books relative to legal advertising as class legislation to a large degree, and framed in the interest of comparatively few newspapers located in county seat towns. They also attack the discretionary power which is now given to officials and representatives of litigants in the placing of legal advertising. The present system leads to many abuses to say nothing of the suspicion of graft. Under the present laws it is possible to make a publication in a newspaper which will be practically unseen by parties interested in this particular advertising and whose interests are involved. The spirit even of the laws now in force is thus often violated, it doubtless being the intent of the* farmers to insure the widest publicity for legal advertising in the territory which it is sought to cover. This new measure also combats the centralization idea in keeping with the best spirit of the age, and demands that the placing of legal advertising shall be mandatory and that it shall be published in the newspaper printed nearest to the point whore said advertising originates, thus securing the widest publicity possible, Every taxpayer will be interested in the passage of this just measure, which is framed in the interest of all the people. Every member of the legislature will be asked to vote for it by a constituency which cannot be denied.—pieroeton Record.
