Fault of the Butcher.
She is such a sweet little thing, a
bride of only four months, that the
Harlem butcher with whom she was
taking her first lessons in marketing
was delighted to see her come into
the shop. He waited on her himself
and never, so he says, took advan-
tage of her inexperience. If he was
busy she stroked the fine Maltese cat
stretched lazily in the window and
waited for him.
when this cat has Kittens" she
said to him one morning, will you
be kind enough to let me have one OF
them. I am so fond of cats"
when that cat has Kittens" said
the butcher, you certainly shall have
your pick Of them"
She waited few weeks and then
mentioned the subject to him again.
Nothing doing yet, lady" he re-
Piled.

Indiana Attracts Attention.

A telegram states that the exhibition
from the rural schools of Indiana is
attracting much attention from the
educators at ST. LOUIS, according to
state Superintendent f. A. Cotton,
who has been in st. Louis arranging
the display. The rural school exhib-
its, he says, are more artistic and
more nearly complete than are the like
exhibits from other states. The ar
rangement of the Indiana exhibit is
completed. 1t is among the first to be
put in place. The exhibits from the
counties of LapoIte. Benton, Porter
and Knox are regarded as among the
most attractive features of the Ind
lana display The department of pub
lie instruction paid particular atten
ton to the exhibits from the rural
schools. leaving the trained teachers
In the city schools to do their work.
Mr.. Cotton says that the exhibits from
the Indiana cities are equal to those
from the cities of other states.

tor Fairbanks will not commit himself
on the subject of the vice-presidency.
1t really is not necessary for him to do
anything of the kind, as in no sense is
he candidate for the place, consult
ing his personal wishes. II the repub-
licans want him, If the convention
should nominate him, there IS no
question but he will accept. There
seems to be a general feeling through
out the country that Senator Fair
banks will be the choice of the con-
vention for the second place on the
ticket, but it is not essential that he
should declare himself on the subject.
Indeed it would be better for the
country were there more of Senator
Fairbanks kind. Then the Office
would be seeking the man, not the
man the office.

Indiana Fares Well.

sIndiana will have the most inviting
headquarters of any state at the re-
publican national convention, said
John B. Cockrum, chairman of the
committee appointed to arrange for
the stay Of the delegation ih Chicago.
The committee which went to the con-
vention city last Friday returned last
night. Secretary Sims, of the state
committee, went along with the COM
mittee and assisted In the making of
the arrangements for the delegation IS
comfort. The thirty delegates and
the same number of alternates will be
housed at the Auditorium Hotel. but
the state headquarters will be In the
Auditorium annex. where according to
Mr.. Cockrum, the largest and finest
room in the hotel available for the
purpose will be used. 1t is one Of the
dinning-rooms and will be given oyer
to the use of the Indiana delegation
exclusively during the convention.
Mr.. Cockrum S committee awarded the
contract for decorating the headvuar-
tiers to an Indianapolis decorator, who

Studebaker Ousted.
man the Off

National guardsmen of the third in
fantry, and especially in South Bend
are up in arms over what they claim
to be unfair treatment of Col. George
NJ. Studebaker. Because of alleged
differences which it is said have al
ways existed between the militia of
the central and northern parts of the
state Col. Studebaker was not recon-
missloned and he is now out of the
guards, Lieut.. Col. E. p, Thaver, of
Greenville, having been named as his
successor. This appointment is
another fact which is grinding on the
nerves of northern Indianas citizen
Soldiery, as they look upon the trans
fer Of Thayer from the second to the
third infantry as direct insult to
Lieut.. Col. S. A. Bowman, of Water
loo, and Major Geo. w. Feaser, of
South Bend. Bowman is the ranking
lieutenant colonel in the Indiana ma
tional guard and Feaser stands first
in the list of majors. Because of these
facts, the guardsmen Of the Third ar
que that they should have been pro-
NOTED. AS matters are it appears that
the line officers of this regiment are
not regarded by the indianapolis crowd
as being competent tracticlans, yet, in
spite of this it was the Third regiment
that carried off the honors for Indiana
at the army maneuvers at West Point,
KY, last fall. The officers of the re-
glment were not only highly compli
mented by Col. Wagner, one Of the
highest military authorities in the
world, but were also commended by
the Army and Navy Journal, the off,
cial organ of the regular army.

The neaIthluIness Of Bananas.

Opinions often differ as to the d.
gestive qualities Of Bananas, especially
for children. The banana is highly
nutritious and satisfies the craving for
starchy food which most children feel.
The trouble is that the fruit is usally
eaten without being chewed, and the
stomach has hard work to digest the
solid Jumps. A good way to serve BAN
anas at the nursery table is to cut
them in small cubes, thereby preserv-
ing the taste. which seems to be lost
when they are sliced thinli. Break
up fresh lady fingers with them and
serve with plenty Of sweet cream.
