THIRD TgRN TALK. -- The Mil.
waukee Sunday Telegraph says :;
The movement which had some
Roadway, and was surrounded with
considerable promise some months
ago, was to give Gov. VIM. +. Smith
and his associates a third term.
There has been no life in the scheme,
however, since the legislature met,
and so many new candidates for all
the places on the state ticket were
evolved during the session. 1t be-
gins to look, however, rs il the null
tipIicity nigh force the third term
programme again to the front as
the only solution of the leadlocks
which are likely to be formed in the
state convention. In general it Is
conceived that some very curious
.orns are likely to occur in politics
during the next few months

Commercial street, in the vicinity OF
Gray's grocery and queensware store
were Mortified to see a little child fall
from the second story window to the
pavement below. 1t was picked up and
carried upstairs. where it was dis.
covered that a broken leg and some
bruises on the head were the only
injuries it had sustained. The lit
tie sufferer is the infant daughter
of NJ. L. Wildly, who drives a delivery
wagon for John Bay. Its mother had
tied 1t in high chair and placed it near
the window, where its attention was
evidently attracted by some object
which it leaped forward to possess. AT

II is presumed that the Chaplain will

law suggests. Emporia people are law.

that 1t IS taking undue advantage of the

AN uNEoRTnNATE sIIIrnR

In the early days of Indiana, one of
the state senators was a good-natured
giant named George Boone. When ne
stood up his height attracted attention,
for he measured nearly seven feet. If
he made a gesture, his hands were MOTTO
ed as the largest ever seen. But it was
his feet that amazed his colleagues
One day when joked on his big hands
and feet he told a story of an early ex-
perience which brother senator, in his
''Sketches of Early Indiana" reports as
follows:
When about eighteen, young Boone
thought he would call on q neighbor
who lived a few miles of. Sally, the
neighbours daughter, was large and

making sufficient allowance for the sizt
