Mince pie, of course, is unhygienic, but
the people who won't eat it are generally
thin.
Woman doesn't mean all she says, but If
she means three-fourths CT 1t man ought to
be satisfied.
Man should be thankful on Thanksgiving
day because he doesn't have to hunt up
things to be thankful for.
Some girls are SO tender-hearted that
they won't eat quail because 1t has a pref
tier voice han duck or turkey.
The woman who has a sad, far-away look
in her eyes in church on Thanksgiving day
is trying TO remember where she put the

yesterday morning by another employe

The auditor for the Postofice Department,
in his report to the secretary of the treas
ury, says the money order system is in no
sense a government function, but il is a
feature of the banking system which Is re-
garded by some thoughtful people as a
dangerous development of state socialism.
He warns his superior in office that the
rapid Increase of the business and its large
volume involves the risk of large losses
through the carelessness or dishonesty Of
clerks AS the losses have been of no con-
sequence as compared with the volume Of
the business his fears are not warranted.

MIR. YOUNG'S JOKER.
Subscribes More Money than n
Principal Is willing to Pay.

Mr.. A. A. Young, collector of the port,
yesterday signed a card which will entitle
the Indianapolis Benevolent Society to call
upon him for a so subscription. Last night
Mr.. Young recalled the fact that exactly
a year ago he had signed a similar card
and a few days later was notified by Sec
rotary Grout that he held two cards signed
by Mr.. ~Young-one calling for $40 and the
other for $50. Either an enemy or a prac-
teal joker had sent in the S5U card. a few
days after that incident Mr.. Young signed
a card agreeing to subscribe $40 to the Door
Of Hope and shortly received a letter from
the manager thanking him "for his contri-
button of $40" Mr.. Young was compiled, in
the interest of truth, to answer the letter
by saying he had only subscribed $40.
Within a few days the collector of the
port expects TO learn that the joker has
been at work again.

A STRANGERS REQUEST.

A man of middle age and in appearance
about 1900 leagues from being prepossessing
walked into The City Dispensary last even
ing and stated that he wanted his crooked
eyes Strengthened and he wanted the opera
ton done in a hurry, as he was tired of
be ing cross-eyed. One Of the Dispensary
physicians told him that the operation could
rot be performed then, as it would take a
specialist to do the work. The stranger
wanted the address of the specialist, and
when told to call the next day ne wanted to
compromise the whole matter by the doctor
giving him a package of tooth powder. His
teeth showed that a brush or cleaning "a
terials had never been near them. but he
wanted the powder just the same. His
case was not thought to be urgent, so his
request was refused. His next best, or,
rather his best, retreat was to a barrel
house, where he proceeded with all haste.

She Is Charged with RObbing Vacant
Houses of Gas Fixtures.

Ella Tracy. colored. living at 26 North
Missouri street, was arrested yesterday by
the bicycle police and charged with petit
larceny. Some time ago the house at 1919
Bellefontaine street was stripped Of all gas
fixtures, and Splann and Wilson, who were
put on the case. found some Of the fixtures
in q shop on Indiana avenue. Yesterday
the woman took more of them to the dealer

she was arrested. At her home was found a
large number of fixtures, which it is thought

eight houses. The police think she has made
a speciality of robbing vacant houses.

Irish-Americans are free moral agents and
are therefore permitted to do as they please
as regards their enlistment in the war
against Great Britain. The advice of their
wisest friends. however, ought not to be
spared In admonishing them not to take up
a fight of the sort they appear to have had
on their hands for years in their native
land. The habit OF championing forlorn
hopes is an unhealthy and morbid one and
should be broken as soon as possible.

Waynesburg College Free from DEBT.

A dispatch from Waynesburg
says: A glad new year has dawn
ed upon Waynesburg college. Pro-
vision has just been made for the
liquidation of it's entire Indebtedness
of $4,000. At a meeting of the
board of trustees held yesterday, the
financial agent, Rev. j. w. Mckay,
reported the amount in valid sub
scriptions, which are payable az
once. Considerable interest has been
manifested in this matter, and the
friends of the college are overjoyed
at Rev. Mr.. McKay's success and
believe him entitled to their lasting
gratitude. A large portion of this
Indebtedness is:for bonds issued for
the completion of the new building.
The college now has 100000 worth
of real estate, an endowment of
nearly $4,000 and is entirely out Of
debt.
