two dogs, of which he is very fond.
One is pup, while the other is quite

Beating a Conductor.

A passenger going west from De-
troit the other day had pass to Chi
cago. When the conductor took it
up he asked several questions to salts
fy himself that the pass had not been
transferred, and the holder Of the
pa,teboard didn't take it as good-na-
turedly as some men would. He did
not have much to say, but was deter
mined on revenge. As soon a. the
conductor left the car the man changed
seats, removed his linen duster, took
of his hat and looked like a different
person altogether After the train
left the next station the conductor
came along with an eye out for new
passengers, and presently he reached
out for the holder of the pass.
81 haven't got any ticket, was the
surly answer.
Then you must pay your fare.
Il won't do it.
See here" said the conductor as
he began to wake up, "you must eth
er pay your fare or produce ticket.
If not I'll drop you on the road.
Drop and be hanged.
TIL. train was not stopped, but after
a run of ten minute. it reached sta
tion and arrangements were made for
bouncing the man. When all was
completed he showed his pass.

pas. p roared the conductor.
why didn't you ask me p shouted
the traveller.

Nor l, either
The train went on and the man put
on his dust.r, traded hats with a pass
enger, and again looked like some one
else. He changed his seat to the front
end of the car and was seemingly
sound asleep when the conductor again
had occasion to pass through. lie
took two fares and then held out his
hand to the traveller. There was no
response He shook the sleeper gen.
tly but the latter slept on. Then he
shook him good and stout and called

How dare you shake me around IN
this manner shouted the man as he
avoke and stood up.
Ticket, please.
"But don't please How dare you
come 10 me every time the train leaves
a station ?"
The conductor looked down the
aisle, thought he saw a man with the
pass in hi. old seat, and said to the
other
Come, sir, don't bother me. !
want your ticket.
"You cant have 1t.
Then I'll put you off.
He reached for the bell-rope, but
seeing a general grin all around the
car he stopped and looked more close
" at the man and recognized him as
the one with the pass. He went out
without a word, and when he returned
half an hour later he expected another
trap. He looked carefully over the
car and was going slowly along IN
search of new faces when man with
his coat off and under the influence
Of liquor called out
"Shay, captain, | hain't got no
ticket"
"Ah you can't beat me again. |
knew you as soon as l entered the
car" chuckled the official, and he
walked on with a broad grin on his
face.
It was not until he saw the shirt
sleeved man off at the next station
that he knew he bad been mistaken
again and had let him travel for moth
ing, while the mau with the pass was
in the smoking-car.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
IF it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side OF my face. gave

Honest Newspapers Wanted.

Honesty is the best policy in news
paper business, as well as in any other
business Frauds, cheats and lmpos-
tiers are sooner or later found out and
in the long run must pay the penalty
for deceiving the public. There is no
more excuse for wilful newspaper
falsehoods during political campaign
than there is at any other time. The
general reader will overlook mis- axes
made In the hurry and Incidental 10
the publication of all the great dsiiies,
but it Will not forget or forgive down
right and deliberate lying about vital
subjects the people are earnestly con-
sidering. This applies TO the fabrics-
ton of the campaign Islander and black
washing of candidates, as it does TO the
Justification of figures. The American
people have reached the stage of intel
ligence and civilization that dem snds
at the hands of the press common de-
cency and business honor without re-
spect to partisanship.
Thanks to the good sense and the
honor of the newspaper fraternity of
Northern Indiana, but little of this
offensive journalism was INDUCED in.

sections of the HOosier commonwealth.

It's a shame and "a Crime.

Speaking about women who can not
do the work connected with home
leads the fellow who writes at random
in the Lafayette Sunday Journal, to say
in part: "Why, when l see mother
who can't cook or sew or iron clothes,
feel like whaling her husband and
sending her to JAIL Imagine the girls
growing up not only in ignorance of
the fundam. ntal things girl should
know about home life and home max
ing, but growing up in the knowledge
that thu, ir mother is ignorant, too.
Imagine boy who never ate a cookie
that his mother baked; never received
a turnover pie at her hands, fresh from
the oven; never went to her for a bite
of something cooking when dinner was
preparing, and he so hungry he just
couldn't wait. 1t seems to me the
home is the most necessary place, the
most important place In the world.
Unless our American women are pUr-
posely hurrying to life in hotels, they
should pay more attention to home
work. They should be equal to any
demand that home can make upon them.
And any mother who brings up her
daughters in ignorance of the practical
duties of home wife, of housekeep.
er, is committing q crime against those
she ought to love. That's what's she's
doing. She's committing crime"

state Auditor for Increase of Printing

The auditor of states depart ment

lature from $4,000 TO 100000 a year.
The printing fund expenses cover the
cost of supplies furnished to the state.
house by w b. Burford, state printer,
the cost of printing annual reports OF
state officers and commissions and
other incidental expenses. The claim
for al increased appropria ton is based
on the increased supplies needed for
new bureaus and commissions created
by the legislature.
Some fault mas been found because
in the past large numbers of official re-
ports have teen stacked away In the
state house basement, where they have
remained. Inquiry developed that this
waste no longer exists, and the expend-
Itures for printing are closely watched
The cost of printing the state eeolo-

Low Character Exceeded Only by Gall.
The fellow who printed the lying cir
culsrs which were sent out to damage
democratic candidates, and who tried
to get his office boy to lie in order to
shield him, is asking the republicans of
Plymouth to recommend him as can
didste for the postoffice. 1t is not
likely that the recommendations will
be very swift in arriving, as the aver
age republican prefers to regain the re-
spectibility for his party in this county
which this fellow has caused it to lose,
rather than that the stamp of approval
shall be given such disreputable work,
which the party would be giving in
case this sneak should be made the
