MILITARY MEN ORGANIZE
INITIATION OF INDIANA NATIONAL
GUARD SERVICE INSTITUTION.
Temporary Constitution and Bylaws
AdOpted-Omcers Elected to Se-vc
Until January L, 1908.

The indiana National Guard Service In
stitution was organized last night at the
rooms Of the adjutant general in the State
house. The organization was suggested by
Gen. w. j. Mckee and is patterned after a
similar organization in New York. The
idea is to have an organization where mill
tary matters may be discussed by persons
interested. Those eligible to membership
are officers of the National Guard, officers
of the regular establishment volunteer Off
GERS and ex-officers of the National Guard.
The organization will meet once a month
and papers will be read or military sub
jects. a temporary constitution and by
laws was adopted last night. which will be
superseded by another constitution and by
laws at a meeting to be held Jan. l, 1908.
The temporary officers elected were:
Presldent-ColOnel Harry Il. Smith.
Vice Dresident-MajOr II. T. Condo.
Secretary-Lieutenant Hoyt n. McLain.
TreaSure-Lieutenant w. w. Heiskell.
A special committee on general arrange
ments, with General Mckee as chairman,
was also appointed. The papers submitted
10 the officers school at the last encamp-
ment were read
Among those present were Governor Dur
bin. General Mckee, Majors Rich, DR..
Kyle and Megrew, Lieutenants McLain and
Boyle Captain Franklin and about forty
others.

In this too. there is a wide distance sepa-
rating the Anglo-Saxon woman from her

ticeable characteristics Of the former is the
love of exercise which she has recently ac-
quired. and in which she can now with i'm
punity indulge. In Spain, on the other hand.
not OEly do women take little or no eXer-

their childhood, taught to appreciate open

acquiring the taste later An endeavor
was made a short time ago TO introduce
bicycling into Madrid as a feminine amuse-
ment, but the attempt was failure. owing
TO the obstructive attitude of both sexes
The new idea was only taken up by a few

woman is the easy solution IL offers OF con-
jugal problems. The explanation OF this
fact Is 10 be found in a cOrOllary 10 the fol-
lowing general proposition offered by the
author: "One of the most essential condi-
tions Of cOnjugal happiness is that tho
views Of the contracting parties as TO their
relative spheres of action should be in
perfect harmony. In Spain there is never
any question of what woman can or can
not do or think. She is a domestic slave
but she Is perfectly contented one. and
no more devoted wives and mothers are to
be found than in that country"

Washington Post.
"A well-known business man was standing
at an + street corner. talking with a friend
the other afternoon when seedv-I0oLxiney
chap, with blOated cOuntenance and a
whining voice, approached and tackled the
business man for the loan of dollar. The
business man gruffiy declined the shabby
chaps appeal. and told him to be on his
way in canter.
This rather puzzled the companion of the
business man, who knew that the latter
was of an extremely charitable and open
handed dispositiOn-a man who rarely re-
sisted the appeal of the cOmmonest street
besgar, ana who made ii point never TO
turn down an appeal for financial aid from
unfortunate friends of former days.
The business man chewed in silence on
the end of his cigar for while, and then
he said:
you no doubt think it odd that sent that
fellow, whom you could see knew me by

been put aside for the day, and perhaps
you may meet the street some very
handsome women, tastefully goWned, Whom
you have seen at an earlier hour OF the day
going to the store or the postOffice bare
footed and wearing a generous-slzed sun
bonnet, for the women do not seem 10
think it strange to go barefooted during the
working hours of the day If they are so
inclined
Sunday, however, is the great day of the
week. Not by any means a day given TO
mirth or sport, for the boats are all an
chored and all of the islanders are at home
for the purpose of attending church, and
there is service of some kind for nearly
every hour of the day from in the morn
ing until twilight. The one street at this
time presents a busy appearance, for on
account of its long narrow character IL
seem TO be well attended and young and
the tolling of the church bell until the
service has commenced All of the services
seem TO be well attended and young and
old are very constant in attendance upon
church.
The final service of the day closes a little
after sunset, and al it's close the young
men take the young women Of their choice
and promenade the narrow street, the only
boulevard of the town. There is noted an
absence of the noise and gayety that
might be expected from so many young
people. AS they walk along some of them
hum selections from the gospel hymns or
converse in a quiet manner. Occasionally
some young fellow without a partner stops
a promenading couple with the inquiry,
who's best? and II the young lady de-
sires a change of partners she accepts the
arm of the newcomer and leaves number
one discOnsOlate, but such affairs are few
and far between, and love seems to run as
smoothly as it might be expected in Ar
cadia.
The promenade lasts but little time
and at an early hour the street is deserted,
for the men obliged to be on the crab
bng grounds at an early hour the next
morning. The day of the week has passed
and life until the next Saturday afternoon
will be filled with the exciting struggles
of dipping a livelihood from the sea.

quainted with it, It's introduction into
England dates from 1903 and this verse IN
Psalm Xci, 5, in an old English Bible print
ed in 1851, is said to refer to the bedbug.
1t reads: Thou shalt not nede to be afraid
of eny Bugges by night" The bedbug
came early TO this country, probably on the
Mayflower, for it was found to be abundant
in the English colonies and in Canada,
though unknown among the Indians. So
the bedbug has accompanied man where
ever he has gone" and has followed civ
iliZatiOn as ii has encircled the earth
One statement of the circular will sur
prise people who have been compelled TO
make the acquaintance of the bedbug. 1t
Is that the bug has wings, although of
such rudimentary character that they are
of no use. 1t is correctly added that this is
a fortunate circumstance since otherwise
there would be no safety from it even for
the most careful housekeeprs. Another
surprising assertion is that the bedbug,
though normally feeding human blood,
seems to be able TO subsist for a time at
least on much simpler food. The fact that
il is found in houses long unoccupied leads
to the belief that it can get sustenance
from the juices of mOistened wood or the
moisture i'm the accumulation of dust in the
creVices of floors.
But there will be no dissent from the
statement that the "bedbug is thorough
~ nocturnal in habits and displays GER
tain degree OF WarineSS and caution, or
intelligence, in its efforts at cOncealment
during the day. 1t usually leaves the bed
at the approach OF daylight TO go into con-
l.
if it be one of the old wooden variety, or
behind wainscOting or under loose wall
paper where il manifests its gregariOus
habits by collecting i'm masses together"
1t was hardly necessary to say that the
bedbug is known to be able to survive for
long periods without food. No investigation
was needed TO prove that truth to any man
who on entering college bought the second
hand furniture of a graduate after the
room had been closed for three or four
months.
\ description of the biting organ of the
bedbug is not so interesting as the rene
dies suggested for getting rid of the pest.
The only one of these that need be quoted
is the following: place in the center of the
room a dish containing about four ounces
of birthstone, within larger vessel, so that
the possible overlooking of the burning
mass may not injure the carpet or set fire
10 the floor. After removing from the room
all such metallic surfaces might be
affected by the fumes. close every aperture,
even the keyhole and set fire to the brim-
stone When four or five hours have
elapsed the room may be entered and the
windows opened for a thorough airing -
That can be classed among the Kill cure
remedies II the house does not catch fire
you have probably killed the bedbugs, and
If the house does burn up. why. you can be
sure that the bugs are all dead. In either
event you can be certain of having rid
yourself of the cimex lectularius.

wOMAN's POSITION IN SPAIN.
Little Better than a Domestic Slave,
but Satisfied with Her Lot.
Fortnightly Review.


Woman in Spain has had no part in the
emancipation of the sex that has taken
place in most European countries in the
last century. AS a factor in social life she
stands entirely in the background: man
has the predominant influence and the
position Of woman is entirely subOr
dlnate one. To the foreigner the first sign
of this is visible in the absence of that
easy and homely spirit of hospitality preva-
lent in other countries, and which owes
so much of its character 10 female influ-
ence. In this matter the ideas of the
Spaniard retain "A flavor of Orientalism,
which the progress Of the time and the
general advance Of civilization around him
have been unable TO dissDate. He pos
sesses what we should call most limited
views as % the sphere in which woman
should move. He thinks that a good wife
should have no interests which NAV dis
tract her from the duties of her household
and hence these dutieS-the chief among
them being the care and bringing UP OF
children-form the chief occupation of the
Spanish lady.
Any unusual development OF intellect in
a woman is held by public opinion TO be
unfeminine, and the proportion OF intellec-
tual women in Spain is remarkably small
The majority Of Spanish girls are quite un-
cultivated, in our modern sense OF the
word except as regards hand embroidery
music and dancing. for which the race has
cOnsidera bic aptitude. Half a century ago
the photography of a large percentage Of
well-born Spanish women would not have
come up TO the standard OF one of our ele-
mentary school boards.
The education of Spanish women has in
deed improved during the last thirty years,
owing chiefly 10 greater facilities for travel
and a certain altering through OF foreign
habits of life. But this has only taken place
within the recognized lines OF communica-
tion over the country. Physical training
plays a small part in the education Of
Spanish women as does intellectual culture.
