Young women who haye theatrical
aspirations little dream of the vicissi-
tudes they may haye to encounter in
stage life. There is the case Of Julia
Martin, for instance, the New York
chorus girl who is nov suffering from
blood poisoning as result Of being
bitten BY the stage pig, whose tail 1T
was her part to tweak at a certain
CRITICAL point in the play so that he
might squeal at the right time. He
did squeal, but he also turned and
attacked bis tormentor, thus exceed
ing bis role. The modern drama at
times becomes truly dramatic.

Prof. Albert P. Matthews, who,

OF comment by saying that under Ger.

ties alcohol was valuable as a food, has
now started more trouble by the as.
sertion that the body of everyone,
whether he drinks liquor or not, con.
tains alcohol. II this is true it IL
probable that most men should be
satisfied with the alcohol which nat
ure furnishes without pouring much

Treasurer O'Keefe Gives Figures.

The committee that killed the
PARKS Bill No. A." which provided
that the state treasurer, and all county
treasurers should be required to COL
lect interest daily from all funds in
their hands, from the banks in which
the money was deposited and turn the
interest thus earned ove to the
county-was composed Of the follow
ing members:
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1903-01-29


William O'Keefe gives the folly rea-
son why this bill should pass.
1st. The interest does not belong
to the treasurer.
End. The statute is plain and
states just what the treasurer shall
receive. .nxIzttg
3rd. The salary given the treasurer
is the stipulated sum he is to receive
to perform the duties and assume the
responsibilities of the office.
4th. II the treasurer was to have
the interest on the public funds there
would be an incentive to encourage
heavy l~evies, SO as to have large bal
ances on hand upon which to receive
interest.
5th, Money belonging to the coun-
ty should be deposited IN the name of
the county, as it belongs to the coun-
ty, and also because it would prevent
banks from loaning back to the county
their own money, as is sometimes done
at the present time; and in such cases
the county receives no interest on the
money which was deposited.
9Th. 1t will reduce the liability,
both to the county and to the treas
urer.
It'll, 1t will lower the cost of bond
to the treasurer.
sth. 1t will make it easier for a
treasurer to give a bond, while at the
present time security companies will
not bond a mar for county treasurer
who is not worth $40, 0G0.
9th. 1t will prevent defaIcation by
the treasurers.
10th. Part of the public money in
the county treasurer's hands is un-
loaned school fund money, upon which
the county must pay the state in
terest at the rate of six per cent,
while the treasurer draws interest on
the same. St. Joseph county has
about $50, 900 Of unloaned school fund
money on hand. :
18th. 1t is not safe for the county
treasurer to have public money mixed
up with his private account.
18th. II the treasurer is to have
the interest then his salary is not
governed by the work he has on hand.
The greater the fund on hand the
higher his salary will be.

When the Indiana legislature

When the Indiana legislature met
republican leaders said very few new
laws should be passed. But all the
members want to show their cunstitu.

houses are flooded with bills. Many
Of these will he killed in committee,
but several useless bills will get
through. Democrats and republicans
are however working together more
tremendously than In any previous
legislature.

WRITER'S IN THE COUNTRY.
The Best Literary Work Is Done by Men Whose Homes Are
 Outside the Cities.

"See for moment how the matter of residence affects literary people, with whose work, naturally, l am familiar" writes Edward Box, in Ladies' Home Journal, of '"The American Man and the Country" "Pick out the success full writers of the day and see where their homes are. Scarcely in single instance will you find one of them liv- ing in the city. On the other hand, look at the work done by your literary denizen of the city and see how it suf fers in comparison with that of the man or woman whose mind rests on Gods own handiwork. Such writers are like pygmies compared 10 the men who with fresh minds look over Gods landscape and reflect the deepest and truest thoughts of real men and wom- en. See how an author-and this is a constant occurrence-living in some remote country place does great piece of work, and then, allured by false prophets, removes to the city and con- tinues his work there. Is his work the same? Verify, it is not. Degeneration takes place as soon as he removes him. self from mans truest surroundings. And what is true to-day of men in lit erary work is equally true of men in the kindred arts. The great work of the world is being done to-day by men whose lives are spent away from the great cities"

HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Packed In This Shape It Occupies Less Space and There Are
 Other Advantages.

Hay as we'll as cotton is put up owa- : days in cylindrical bales, a standard round hay bale being IS inches in diam eter and 36 inches in length. Such a bale packed at the pressure under which it would be put up for domestic use would weigh about 200 pounds; as packed for export such a bale would contain about 275 pounds. There is pGt-up for army use bale of the same diameter, but only IS inches in length. which contains approximately 140 pounds of hay.
 In the cylindrical bale given quan- tity of hay is got into less than half the space that it would occupy in a square bale: and there are asserted for it other advantages. including freedom from mold. preservation of the sweetness of the hay and greatly reduced combus- tibility.
 Thousands of tons of hay in cylin- drical bales have been shipped to the American army in the Philippines. aid large quantities of it have been used by the H.itish army in South Af rica

short distance of Belcher which is 20
miles from Shreveport. The men were
executed for participating in the fatal
shooting of Robert Adger, a popular
business man. The negroes confessed
their crime. They stated that they were
trying new guns and when Adger ap-
peared on the street the thought quite
naturally came to turn the guns on
him. No shots We're fired at the lynch
ing, the negroes all being hanged to a
single limb of 3 tree. Two of the ne
groes under arrest. Sam Lee and Peter
Thomas, were released. Lee proved that
he had attempted to prevent the negroes
from shooting Adger, and Thomas es-
tablished the fact that he was too
frightened to shoot.

search for the men and apparently were
as eager to have them lynched as the

the whites with a purse of nearly 500
for the part he took in the pursuit.
