TEETH THAT WE'RE USELESS
Puzzle to the Man Who Had Sud-
denly Sustained the Loss
of Them,

Harry Leon Wilson, author OF The
Spenders," was domiciled for summer
In Connecticut with a colony of aItists
and writers, all of whom had to so into
the city every day, relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically. and from
time 10 time met and had fun with
some OF the natives of the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got a surrey and two
horses.
Can you driver" asked Wilson.
''Sure." one OF his sudden friends re-
piled, ii am a fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the read Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
SHELTER into the road
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gether, One of his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing This bruises and
the other stood in the middle of the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in the palm
of his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it,"
asked Wilson, for want of something
better tc say
YES replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh. but please. oh,
please, tell rue, what shall | do with
these?"

QUEER DoINGs OF MEN,

A man will always stir his coffee be-
fore drinking it. This is very foolish
he should taste it first to see II it needs
stirring.
A man subjects the point of his pen
to careful scrutiny before commencing
to write letter. A woman st91ts right
off-jabs her pen in the inkpot and
,straightway begins to scribble as II
her life depended on it.
Few men open their personal corre-
spondence without looking at the post
marks to see the time of posting
Women on the other hand, tear open
the envelope at once-they are in too
much of hurry to waste any time.
It is the man who lets out secrets
not by telling them, but by ill-timed
silences. He does worse-by refusing
to crafty the curiosity of his ques-
TONERS he invariably causes them TO
lump to conclusions much more dam
aging than the truth Of the matter.
1t is the man who reads with his
back to the light, holding his book In
one hand Herein lies wisdom. A
woman rests her book on the table
and leans both elbows thereon. But
the foolishness of the mans act lies in
the fact that he is seeking comfort and
seldom takes this position because it
is the most scientific one. OF course
he finds it isn't CONFERENCE.-The arm
aches after the first ten minutes,
whereupon he puts his book down and
remarks he is going out.

SCHOOL BOOK PRICES
No Changes Made in the Grammar
and Histories at This
Time.

County Superintendent Byrket has
received from State Superintendent
Fassett A. Cotton a price list of books
for Indiana schools next year, as
adopted by the State Board of Educa-
ton. Supt Bryket is furnishing the
list to township trustees who are pre-
pairing their book acquisitions for the
coming term.
No changes are made in the gram
mars and histories. The new spell
ing books are quoted at 10 cents each.
Old books and Z cents will be accept
ed for new books. The new physi.
ologies are priced at so cents instead
OF 60 as before. The old physiologies
and 25 cents will be accepted for the
new books. There are no important
changes and the new schedule is ex-
pected to prove satisfactory to Off
Gals, parents and students. Orders
for books must be placed soon, so as
to make their delivery by the begin
ming of the school term possible.

The First Stove.

The most important uses of fire We're
taught by fire itself. AS the primitive
man stood near the flames of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overlook q deer
and baked it he learned that FIRE might
be used to improve the quality Of his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
a burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him a fire on his floor of earth.
His dwelling filled with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for the
sake of the fires warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness of the cook
ed meats. After a time a hole was
made in the roof Of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The print
tive stove was the entire house, the
floor was the fireplace and the hole in
the roof was the chimney. The word
"stove'' originally meant "a heated
ROOM" So that if we should say that
at first people lived in their stoves we
would say that which Is literally true.

REV. KUHN VS.. TACASART.

The Democrats met az Greenfield
last Saturday, and in a cut and dried
fashion nominated the Rev. Nr. Kuhn
for congress. And the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn
was started out in political life by a
declaration of independently, accepted
the nomination and Is today nothing
more or less than the Democratic can
didate for congress, while Independent
cy has been thrown to the winds. TIL
Rev. Kuhn declares that he is enter
ing politics only to serve the interests
of the American people. Surely the
Rev. Kuhn does not expect us to be-
lieve that when he comes forth as a
candidate with the permission of
Thomas Taggart, the Democrat Boss"
of the State. And the Rev. Kuhn's
candidacy can mean nothing else than
that he is in perfect accord with
BOSS" Taggart, for Taggart's faith
full lieutenants controlled the Demo-
cratic convention at Greenfield. Now
Taggart Is the proprietor of gambl-
ing joint at French Lick, and the Rev.
Kuhn is the pastor of church in
Richmond, yet the Rev. Kuhn is will
Ing to accept aid from such a man as
Taggart in order to get into congress.
II would be interesting to hear the
Rev. Kuhns ideas on this subject, and
how he expects to ease his conscience
for working in the interests of such
disregarder of law, whether moral,
ethical or common, as Thomas Tag
