Rsglstoring Under False Name.

It is usually mistake to write .
false name on q hotel register. A
country merchant was obliged to de-
cline an invitation to q trade conven-
ton in New York last spring. While
the convention was in session he was
suddenly called to the city ON pressing
business. He arrived at a hotel. and
seeing the register covered with the
names of his friends at the trade con-
vention, he signed false name. The
next day he went out to lunch with his
lawyer, leaving his overcoat at the
latter's office. In the middle Of the
afternoon he telephoned to have his
coat sent to his hotel The coat was
sent but it took the owner two days to
get it, because the lawyer had put the
mans own name on the box contain
ing the coat There was no such name
on the register, and the box was put
aside to be called for. Meanwhile the
falsifer missed q telegram from his
wife, received cards from people he
didn't know, and found himself an OBJ.

AN AVERAGE MAN.

A realistic story
Without any gush or glory,
With no sentimental limelight
And no hrework display,
Bout poor old ignoramus
Who WAS never rich nor famous,
And who couldn't ignite the river,
And who worked out by the day.
A very common fellow
Was this Ebenezer Weller,
With the usual share OF virtues,
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift OF beauty.
But an average sense OF duty,
Neither very good nor evil
Just about like you and me.
And he wed m average woman,
Very nice and very human,
Just about like Ebenezer,
Neither very good nor bad;
Oft in harmony they'd MARBLE,
Often they would Scold and sQuabbla.
But they loved each other dearly,
And they couldn't continue mad
Never had enough on Monday
To supply the house till Sunday,
Never made enough in April
To support themselves in May;
II they worked hard in November,
They must work hard in December.
And the coarse bread OF tomorrow
Was the hard work Of to day.
They worked on, grew gray and grayeF,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she plucked no social honors,
And his wages still were small
Then the load Of years grew weighty,
And they died whom they were eighty,
And they put them in the graveyard,
And they left them there. That's all
realistic story
without any gush or glory
Yet this fellow Ebenezer
Represents the human clan;
His the average share Of pleasure,
His the average lack OF leisure,
His the average Joy and sorrow
OF the common average man.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 30.-The field
and forest fires in the blue grass region
continue and the fire is eating its way
into the most valuable corn fields and
farming land in the State. The farmers
and their men are out vainly trying to
fight the fire back and save their stock.

THE plan of Robert j. Vance for re-
presentation in party convention which
was adopted yesterday by the demo.
cratic state central committee, has this
much in Its favor-it is not a radical
change. 1t adds only sixty-seven to the
number of delegates to the state con.
vention, the increase, of course, coming
from the larger towns. The plans
suggested by Mr. Pigott and other dem.
ocratic leaders did not meet with
favor. For the committee to have
adopted the sweeping changes they pro-
posed would have been suicidal. Fol
however just the claim may
be that representation should be
regulated by population the smaller
towns are not yet prepared for such a
radical change. This was the reason
the DEMOCRAT suggested that an extra
state convention be called, if in the
opinion of the members Of the commit
tee the time was ripe for the adoption
of an extreme measure. The Vance
plan will act as tonic, in a case where
strong medicine would prove fatal
The fight over the Craftsmanship matter
predicted and prayed for by our re
publican contemporaries, did not take
place-there was more smoke than fire.
