Corey of Argos, is the Secretary of the National Retail Hardware Association, and on Dec. 8. passed through Plymouth on his wav to Washington Coming back from the trip, he was in company with '"Mr. Clark of the Drugs, Oil and Paint Review of St. Louis, -and the two fell into conversation while in the smoker, with only one other person near by, and he a stranger absorbed in a bok. - The conversation turned on the absorbing question of polities, and the part played by Republican State Chairman Lee, of Indiana, who is reported is having said in an interview that it was hi3 "conviction that Taft was so unnpopular in his own party in Indiana that he could not carry the state next year if he was nominated." Mr. Clark said to Mx. Corey "I see that your state chairman, Mr. Lee, has come out with another interview elaborating upon his opinion as to Taft's chances in Indiana. What do you think of his estimate of the situation V9 Mr. Corey replied, "Well, I am not acquainted with Mr. Lee, but his case appeals to roe as being a real case of "sour CTapes he found himself unable to direct the shaking of federal plnms in our state, saw that he was down and out, andplayed the baby act." Thi3 i3 a sample of conversation between the two men, until after a while Mr. Clark went out -of - the car, leaving Mr. Corey alone with the stranger. Presently his neighbor accosted Mr. Corey, saying "Are von from Indiana!" "Yes sir." 4 'What part of the state are yon from ? " "I am from Argos, " and Mr. Corey explained his position in the world of hardware men "Oh, ves, you are th ; hardware man in that new building up there. Yon are the national secretary." "I am," replied Mr. Corey. "Are you also a Hooker?" "I have that distinction," replied the stranger. "What part of the state are you from!" asked Mr. Corey. "Me, oh, I am that raan Lee that you gentlemen were just talking about." ; Of course Mr. Corey got out of the scrape- all right, but he thinks he was nicely caught, and may -be will be carefnj to not express opinions too freely where there is a stranger hereafter.

DEATH OF NANCY STARRETT.

Believer In Faith Healing Dies After Four Months Sickness, Without - Doctor In Attendance. Tippecanoe, Dec. 22. Nancy Starrett died here last night at 10:50 at the home of Wm. Carper, after an illness lastnig over four ' months. She was 59 years old, and her home was in Indianaiol:s. Mis Starrett was a believer in faith healing and had conducted meetingsjn Bourbon and Tippecanoe last summer. She would not take any medicine nor have a doctor attend her. On account of the death without the presence of a doctor, Coroner Kizer of Inwood was called here this morning to investigate the cause of death.- On the evidence of two witnesses it was shown that Miss Starrett, had been ill with stomach and bowell trouble for about four months and could not eat anything. Yillera Carper, daughter of Wm. Carper had attended her as nurse.. .V telegram was sent to her brother et Detroit, Mich., who instructed to buy a $75 coffin and express the body to him at Detroit. As soon a the express company hears from the bank at Detroit that the cost of shipment is deposited, the remains will e shipped there. A raithfnl Dog. That a dog can occasionally be of itse, and show a degree of intelligance that often is an example for humans, was shown a few evenings ago. J. D. Fields was injured by a fall from the roof of Josiah Jacoby's barn, and was taken to his residence in east Plymouth. He has been working a good deal this summer Tvith Mrs. Fields' brother, who lives on the Wickizer farm south of town. While there he made friends with the family dog, and the faithful animal would often come home with him. It got so that when Mr. Fields missedhis visits to the farm, j the" dog would come to see him. lhe nisrht he was hurt the dog made the trip, and seeing that something was wrong, jumped on the bed and licko his face. Mrs. Fields was wishing for some way to send word of the accident to the farm, and conceived the idea of writing a note, which she entrusted to the dog's j keeping. Telling the faithful animal that it was to be taken home, away the dog went, and carried the note to the door, and by his whines attracted attention, and the family was thus aware of the accident to Mr. Fields. Wm. F. Qnalls Successful. N Numbers of reshlents f i'lym utiwill rememler when the telephone exchange was first installed In this city, that Tyner Vanvactor bad with him at an early stacre of the affair, a young man named William F. Quails. It seems that our friend Mr. Quails has drifted about until he is manager of -the Decatur County Phone Company, with headquarters at Greensburg. The stockholders of this organization held a meeting last week, and a little dissatisfaction in some quarters was thought likely to operate against our old townsman to his hurt. He was equal to the occasion however. He gave a report, naming it a "historical review" of the condition of the system, since he assumed charge in 1903, treating the concern as a "sickly child" which had been nursed and doctored under his supervision from the merest weakling, until itv had become strong and robust, and was "doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.' ' The following extract will show how the meeting terminated, and how Mr. Quails won out on the case: "Wm. F.. Quails, the present manager, will be retained and the work of rehabilitating the system continued. The election of Thursday in which the outgoing members of the board were chosen for another year is regarded as vindication of tbe policies inaugurated by the board and its manager and there will be no change in these policies." Woman Gets $100,000. The following dispatch from Michi gan City tells of how devotion to a rich lady results in rememberance in a will. When a nurse, after the Spanish-American war was over, she defied the dreaded yellow fever, and now is a beneficiary under a will; Michigan City, Ind., Dec. 20. In payment of the service of a nurse during an epidemic or yellow .fever after the Spanish-American war, Mrs. Charles ,W.
