DUTCH HOSPITALITY Last Week some 2,000 Germans s ayed across the border into Zee--1 id and were at once seized and < sanned by the Dutch soldiers on t e frontier. They will be interned —fed and lodged at Dutch expense : - till the end of the war. These Germans are not'the only soldiers who have made themselves charges of the Dutch government. At the very beginning of the war, when the fighting in the vicinity oi Liege was hottest, some eightyfour Germans wandered into the Dutch province of Limburg. 1 hey were the nucleons of Holland’ sever growing army of “internes.” They had not participatrd in a battle; they had not smelt powder; they were in a sense, the fortunate victims of their own extremely lucky mistake. Immediately after the fall of Antwerp some 8,000 British and about the same number of Belgians went across the Dutch frontier. They were treated precisly as the strayed Germans had been treated, ; for the Dutch are playing no favorites, and are earnestly striving to maintain a strict though expensive neutrality. Germans, Belgians and • British are now prisoners of the Dutch, and must remain a charge on the Dutch nation till the war is at an end. The feeding of some 20,000 idle soldiers is no small item of expense for a nation which has already. suffered financially from the fighling of other nations. The non- paying guests of the Dutch people must be treated with distinguished j * consideration. They are not prisoners of war. They are, instead, | constructive prisoners under the I terms of international law, which p a non-combatant nation for the mistakes of combatants. WINTER IN EUROPE Vinter Is almost at hand. Withii a few weeks all of northern E rope will be frozen land. There w Ibe snow; there will be cold r; i; there will be bitter storms. A d out in the wildness of the ele-no-nts will be some millions of men, fit ating. Man long ago learned how to w ge a winning fight against the cruelties of nature Last year every peasant of Europe, no matter how

poor, had his little cottage, his snug little fortress against the onslaught of winter. There was a chimney corner for him, and a bed of husks or straw in a warm home. The most violent assault or the mos persistent siege could not rout him This year he will be fighting a lesser but much more cruel enemy. He cannot protect himself from man’s violence as he could from the violence of nature. He must: stand forth and kill lest he be killed. And while he is giving his at-1 tention to this business of killing his fellow man the hostile forces of nature, catching unawares and well, outside his fortress, will wreak : their vengeance on him. The frost will nip, the rain will chill. In the open trenches the peasant will dream of his cozy chimney corner, ‘ and, if he be fortunate, death may come to him while he dreams. Or he may drop unnoticed in the snow. His less fortunate comrade may freeze and starve from day to day and look with envy on those who fall and do not arise. War’s horror is always sufficiently appalling, but the misery of a great winter campaign is war’s choicest cruelty. CAN YOU BEAT IT? The Editor of the Pierceton Rec- i IT ; ord pays an income tax.

MHt rasposmat bests CHURUBUSCO MEN HAVE TABLED THE PROJECT The Churubusco men who wen ■ endeavoring to start a new banking institution in Syracuse have written j to a man, who had subscribed I for $2,900 of stock, informing birr that the project would be dropped for the present at least. They gave as their reason that j they did not care to take a cob- I trolling interest in the corporation ■ and that this would be necessary j with no more subscriptions thanl they now possessed. They in- I timated, however, that they be- • iieved a second bank would pay ■ and that they would again take up; the matter if additional support ■ would be assured. I Mi!

KILLED BY FALL OF SEVEN FEET Adam Rittenour Meets Death At Freeport, 111., Foundry The body of Adam Rittenour was brought to the home of m?brother, Elza, Friday evening, from Freeport, (11., where he met accidental death, Wednesday. Mr. Rittenour was employed in the core room of a foundry and was sent on the roof to fix a stove pipe. In some way he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The distance was only seven feet but his head struck on a piece of iron, fracturing the skull, and he lived only three minutes. The deceased was born in Defiance county, Ohio, September 18, 1871, and departed this life, October 28, 1914, aged 43 years, one month, and ten days. He came to Indiana 22 years ago and married Libby D. Wogoman here Zin 1893. To this union four children were born—two daughters and two sons. Sylvia and Rosko died a few years ago. He is survived by a daughter, Gladys Griffin, of Evansville, Ind., and a son, Donald, who resided ’ with his father, and an aged father, one sister, two brothers, and a host of friends. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were Robt. Rittenour and wife of Hicks- 1 ville, Mrs. Mary Rasor and daughter, Ethel, of Indiana Harbor; Mr. | and Mrs. Chas. Griffin of Evansville, and Donald Rittenour of Freeport. The funeral was held at the home of Elza Rittenour, Saturday afternoon, Rev. Clever officiating. ! . - WILL NOVE GARAGE S. C.

MEANING OF “NEPENTHE.** And the Olden Time Use of Potions and Love Philters. A correspondent asks for the meaning of the word “nepenthe” in Poe’s famous poem of “The Raven.” Nepenthe, according to the dictionary, means “a kind of magic potion supposed to make persons forget their sorrows and misfortunes; any drug capable of removing pain or care.” The keynote in “The Raven” is grief or remorse, and the line in which the word in question is used runs thus: Respite, respite, and nepenthe of thy memories of Lenore. So “nepenthe” would be in unpoetic words a prescription or a potion or philter that would bring forgetfulness and the respite from sorrow that came with this oblivion. The ancients had great faith in these potions or philters, using them with different imports. Nepenthe, which is supposed to have contained opium, was the agent that brought forgetfulness, while the different love philters, compounded from various substances from the animal and vegetable kingdoms—according to the whim of the “alchemist” or the old hag who mixed them —were supposed to arouse in the breast of the receiver a great love for the sender. . The old time writers are filled with allusions to these queer potions, which are on a par with the “conjure bags” of our own southern negroes. Into these “conjure bags” the “conjure man” or woman puts anything that is weird or abnormal, from “terrapin toes” to twisted roots and locks of hair tied with strange knots. They are all alike, a matter of superstition. The queer bags did not bewitch the receivers .any more than the love philters were Cupid’s messengers. The nepenthe, having a modicum of opium in it, probably came nearer being a memory stupefier than any of the others, since it put the user to sleep. In an opium stupor even the “maiden whom the angels called Lenore” would be “nameless here.”—Memphis Commercial Appeal

THREATENS TO KILL SCOTT SHARP RUNS AMUCK IN SOUTH END Scott Sharp, who was fined Monday for assaulting his wife, is ag.-.lu wanted by the police. Tuesday evening, he flourished a gun and threatened to kill his wife and child and then himself. He cut across one of the fields south of the B. & 0. tracks and fired several shots and it was feared that he had committed suicide. Upon investigation, however, it was found that he had pointed the gua in the air. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest but he has not yet been apprehended. FATAL JOY RIDE WARSAW COUPLE MEET DEATH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING Roy Hill and Mrs. Olga Jackson were burned to death near Warsaw early Sunday morning when the car they were driving turned over causing the gasoline tank to explode.
