A MORNING TONIC.
Henry Drummond.l

Christ never said much in mere words
about the Christian graces: He lived
them; He was them. Yet we do not
merely copy Him. We learn His art by
living with Him, like the old apprentices
with their masters. He says, Follow Me,
and you will find rest Perhaps
if we knew how much was involved in the
simple learn of Christ. we would not
enter His school with so irresponsible a
heart. For there is not only much to
learn, but much to unlearn. Many per-
sons never go to this school at all until
character has almost taken on its fatal
set. But it can be done-and there is rest
in the school, although there is also much
work.

there is suspicion enough to hang an egg

that a suit involving a quarter OF mil

a name for herself for facilitating legaliz-

derived from the divorce fees. So South

MOUNT DE SALES,
REFUSE FROM GAS WORKS.
Alleged Cause Of Destruction
Fish.

Maj Sylvester. chief of police. has re-
ceved communication from II. NJ. Smith,
acting fish commissioner of the Depart
me mt of Commerce and Labor, giving the
results of Mr.. Evermann's investigation of
the death of large number of fish in the
Eastern branch recently. The Communica-
ton is signed by Mr.. Evermann, and says:
"In compliance with your verbal request
on the Afternoon of the 10th instant l visited
the Eastern branch at Twining City for
the purpose of making observations such as
were possible regarding the death of fish
in those waters, as reported to the bureau
of fisheries by Major Sylvester. With Mr..
Quincy and another police officer l went in
a boat up the Eastern branch to the head
OF the cove or blight just below the Penn
sylvania avenue crossing, and crossing
over the right bank came down the chan
mel, etc..
Continuing MIR. Evermann says:
THE water was quite foul everywhere.
In perhaps a dozen different places We
stirred up the bottom with long pole, and
in every case more or less oil and tar came
to the surface. In the vicinity of the gas
works the water was covered with Oil, and
the bottom was a thick coat of tar
The report affirms that there seems to be
little question but that the refuse from the
gas works caused the death of the fish in
such large numbers.

Both From Ohio.
The only similar incident in the career
of the two men. outside their methods OF
political management is found in the fact
that both had to make their own way In
life and both went to Indianapolis from
Ohio to do it some thirty years ago. Young
Fairbanks opened up a law office; young
Taggart went to work behind a lunch
counter in the old union depot. Pretty
soon the lanky lawyers careful and pains
taking methods attracted clients to him.

genial smile and popularity with the train
men and the travelling public earned him
the managership of the several lunch coun-
tiers in the station.
But the lawyer had reaped the results
Of the struggle long before the other:
While Mr. Taggart was still looking, out
for the dollars, Mr.. Fairbanks, by secur-
ing various railroad interests as clients,
had got together a competency that made
him practically Independent. Mr. Fair
banks has been credited with receiving one
fee of 100000, and it Is known for GER
tainty that he did get at least. one that
was only $4,000 less. He Is as good
business man as he Is politician. and so
is Mr.. Taggart, the evidence to this enect
being found in the way each man has made
the dollars multiply. But while the sena-
tor has accomplished this in quiet sort
of way. Mr.. Taggart has done SO with a
good deal of the spectacular and pictur-
esqueness that mark his hand in anything.
Both in Earnest.
Mr.. Fairbanks says he is in politics be-
cause he considers 1t the duty Of every
patriotic American to take an active in
terest in the welfare of his country. Mr..
Taggart says he is in politics because he
cant help It," by which he means he
loves the game too intensely to be salts
fed with being a mere spectator-he was
born in Ireland. Each feels himself in
honor bound to carry the state.
The maneuvering and fighting between
them will be interesting to watch from
now on as the campaign grows hot There
will be moves and counter moves to fur
nish Zest, for each man Is a great student
OF what the other fellow is going to do;
and on election day it would not surprise
the friends of either to- learn that he was
doing some such thing as working for all
he was worth in his own precinct. Both
men believe in fighting up to the last
ditch and taking a hand at the guns if
necessary. They have made a point of
doing SO ever since their ascendency in
Indiana politics. than which no more in
