TERRE HAUTK. Oct 24.-To-day, at the
Home for Aged Women. recently established
by Mr.. w. X. McKeen. Mrs. Ann Badly. one
hundred years of age, gave a reception to
her personal friends. which includes about
all of the older residents of the city. They,
in turn. presented her with 100 silver dol
lars. "Aunty" Badly, as she has been
known for half a century in Terre Haute,
came here in 1919. She was born at Sara
toga Springs. n. Y. where she vas married
in 1913. The couple came here by hat-boat,
and he was engaged in the river trade until
1926. when he left for a trip 20 New Orleans,
since when she has never heard of him.
The supposition is that he was drowned,
and. as meansOf communication were very
meager in those days, no word of the acct
dent ever reached her. Until comparative
~ a few years ago. she was the sewing
woman" III most of the old families of tho
city. Her mind is YET clear. She takes
care OF her own room, and is active in
many ways, her chief failing being in her
eyesight, which until q few years ago was
such as to enable her to read the newspa-
pers. the deprivation of which now is the
only source OF sadness to her, she being of
an unusually happy disposition.
Danger from the Burning Peat Prairies.
FoRr WAYNE, Oct. 24-For a week the
Little River prairie. a vast tract of swamp
land lying on both sides of the Wabash
railroad and between this city and Hunt
ington. has been on fire. The soil is of the
character Of peat and burns down to the
deDth Of five or six feet. Many miles of
fences and numerous small bui ldings have
been destroyed, and farmers have saved
their residences with great difficulty. 1t
happens that the mains of the mining and
gas company which supplies this city with
natural gas from the gas district. fifty
miles south, are laid in shallow trenches
across this prairie. and to-day the report il
received that the fire has so spread that
only a narrow ditch separates 1T from these
trenches. Should the fire cross the ditch
the solder in the joints of the big pipes
would surely melt, with the effect of liber-
ating the giant force of ten big gas-wells
and cutting off the supply from this city.
These facts were reported to-day to the
gas company's Office. and much alarm is the
result.

Unknown Heroes.

The world is full of hero worship.
and many are the fortunate ones we
honor and revere. Some by knightlv
deeds on battlefield, some by splendid
proves IN saving life when periled by
fire or hOod-by every form of daring
bravery or noble effort the list Is
swelled. And a quick and generous
appreciation is awarded all such deeds
Of exceptional heroism
All heroic acts, however, do not come
to the light of public approval There.
are unknown and unnOticed heroes and
herolnes In private life whose names
are not destined to be "sung In NUM-
bers ;" whose quiet lives flow on in un-
eventful stiffness.
But the young man who voluntarily
resigns the ambitious plans of youth,
with all their vaguely splendid possi-
bilities, to care flor his aged parents,
an obligation, perhaps, distasteful to
him, seeing his more fortunate brothers
and comrades winning fortune and
renoWn that might be his, is a hero Of
no humble type.
The girl who, putting aside her own
happy dreams Of the future. dedieates
her life to the care of an invalid mother
or crippled sister, making their lives
Df1gnG with the hight she denies her
own, is a heroine, though not always
recognized as such.
In many an obscure home the fraiI
mother is the heroic spirit, who meets
the blows of adversely with the shield
of cheerful industry. Brave and never
despairing, thankful and hopeful to
others, she might have poems written
of her herOism if her station had been
higher in the eyes Of the world. TeCas

in New York to settle everything defin-
itely. was returning to Englewood
to pack my trunk and leave that place
the next day forever. AS I thought
Ethel was g cOquette, i determined
she should not see me again, so took
a late train from the city and intended
leaving Englewood In the morning.
1t was a terrible night. The rain
was coming down In torrents, the
thunder was roaring, and the sharp
flashes of lightning made the few pas
sengers in the car draw their heads
away from the window. 1t was the
kind of a night that would give a man
the blues" if he had not the pleasure
of looking forward to a comfortable fire
and cosy room awaiting him at home.
As I had no anticipations of such
10y, but was looking forward to say
ing farewell to the familiar scenes of
my life, on the next day, my feelings
were decidedly mOrOse. The train
sped on and I thought how happy I
could be if Ethel Linton were not heart
less. Then I thought Of the misery of
being separated from the only woman
I had ever loved, and, as my mind lin
gered on the subject, 1 clenched my
fingers until the nails were driven deep
into the palms of my hands.
At last we reached Clifton, and I
alighted. Hurrying along the plat
form. to escape the rain, I reached a
cab, the only one standing there. Z
engaged it, and jumped in. The long
train moved off into the darkness Of
the night, and was just congratulate
ing myself on the fact that there were
no other passengers for EngleWood,
who would disturb my gloomy thoughts
on my way there, when trim, neat
figure came along the station platform.
1t was a female, and I mentally cursed
my luck in being compelled to ride
those four miles with woman, and
most likely being compelled to con
verse with her, when I wanted to be
alone with my thoughts. The driver
waited for her, and when she came up
said, "Im sorry, Miss, but this cab is
the only one here, and if you want to
get to EnglewoOd you'll have to put up

Money No Object.

It Is pleasant to know that while SO
many are shaving away their lives in
the strife for riches, there are some
people in this world to whom money
Is no object. Such individuals are
rarely encountered except through the
medium of an occasional advertisement
but even in this direct way it is cheer
full to hear of them. Ones heart natur-
ally goes out to the man who In adyer-
Using for a boarding house declares
the price not to be so much of an OBJ
ject as a pleasant home.
You have heard the man who de-
cIares that as long as he has a dollar
in his pocket it belongs to his friends.
Don't discredit the statement, for In
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is
a fact. To such men money is indeed
no object; they don't have enough Of it
to make it an object.
Like every other pleasant picture,
the don t-eare-fOr-mOney mans expert
ence has its dark side. Being thrown
continually in contact with those who
do care for money his life is not without
its little trials. His landlord cares for,
money, and so he pitches him into the
street. The grocer and butcher go
back on him, caring as they do for
filthy lucre, and in some extreme cases
the banks refuse to discount his notes.
People who don't care for money are
equally Indifferent about work. unless
it be working some one for q loan

ing with wrath, to the intense amusement Of
their successful rivals, could realize that
in a great measure the result Of taking far
too much thought about the matter. A
love affair in English society has little
chance of being allowed to come quietly
to maturity; IN its very earliest dawn it is
spied out, commented on, smiled and
nodded at; girls rally their friend on
her conquest, elders discuss the mans
position and prospects, some IN a friendly
we'll wishing spirit. others IN the reverse,
but both with equally misch1evOus effect,
for MANY happy attachment IS nlpped IN
the bud and friendship prevented from de-
mature and foolish gossip. The knowledge
that it is going on, too often renders girls
self-cOnsciOIIS and i'll at ease, or causes
them to disguise their shyness under some
affectatiOn, which gives a totally wrong

convinced me that Ethel loved me.
Instantly my gloomy feelings were
driven away by the sun Of Joy and j

thing that had helped me to thus Sc

When I had formerly Travelled be-

Juggling worthless things away from sum-
mer resort.
The Lenox contingent from SARATOGA is
more assorted than that from Newport, and
along with the acknowledged sWells are
many who, although just as worthy in all
respects, do not arFOgate to themselves
superiority over the rest of US. They bring
their results of summer cOurtship. also, and
one noteworthy pair of united lovers is
composed of Rudolph ArOnSOn, the mSsical
manager of the New York Casino, and Alma
Varrey, formerly a chorus girl at that es-
tablishment. Rudolph used to pride him
self upon his fmperviOusness to any darts
which Cupid might shoot at him from the
ranks Of his chorus, and Tor years he es-
capped the arrows which constantly few
from that source toward him. But at length
it came to be observed that Alma Varreys a
very pretty chOr1Ster, had aimed success
fully at his heart. His attentions to her
took on the semblance Of serious courtship,
and last spring she went with him on a
European tour. This was preceded by a
wedding ceremony, although the marriage
was very quiet. Now the couple are having
short outing as climax to their honey
moon tour; and the exploitation Of Miss
Varrey as a prima donna in comic opera
may reasonably be looked for as d cOnse-
