a restless, wandering natuEe, and he
made towns and cities about as rapidly
as the commercial traveller does, with
the added element that che was al
ways at it." There were no vacations
with him.
Knew Many Public Men.
J. N. knew and was known by about
every editor in the country, in the
western states, at any rate. About the
first thing he did after getting into
town was to find his way to news
paper Office to write his own an
nouncements of his meetings and fill
his pockets with exchanges. He
generally heralded his coming with a
postal card, written at some other
town, to the editor. His published
meetings, of late years, failed to ma
terialize. He realized the fact that he
could not hold his audiences, and con-
tented himself with the notices that he
got through the newspapers. He al
ways hunted up. old friends, however,
and they ''stood the pressure" for a
coin of greater or less denomination.
But J. N. never begged; he only &C
cepted such sums as contributions to
the cause of truth. His acquaintance
among public men was wide. He knew
about every lawyer and politician in
any town he might visit. For many
years he was acquainted with every
president, and most If the governors,
senator's and congressman. He never
forgot face or name. In his visits
of the states If he happened at the
capital when the legislature was in ses-
sion, he was asked to address it. There
was seldom q political convention. ma
ti0nal or senate, that he did not at
tend, bObbing up at some Of them in
recent years, when many of the dele
gates had supposed him to be dead.
Such was the case at the Illinois state
convention which he attended a: year
or two ago. At that time it was said
that 1T was only the ghost of the I'M
mortal J. N"
Legacy He Will Leave.
When J. N. is dead, when with him
this mortality shall have, in reality,
put on Immortality, it will be a
strange life record that he will leave
behind-surely not such a one that
in the days of his young manhood he
had hoped, and had every promise of
leaving. He was brilliant then, gift
ed, environed by circumstances that
would have led him into positions OF
honor. J. N. might nave been ia
vorite son of Ohio, a governor, a
United States senator. had not his
intellect been early clouded. Such was
the dream of his youth, such was his
ambition when he was admitted to the
Der. Now when death comes to him.,
and it cannot be far off, the Journal
lists, and the thousands who knew
him, will speak of him as a crank, a
man who was welded to a theory that
had nothing practical in it, that his
life was an aimless, wasted one They
will say that he accomplished nothing,
simply chased phantom, an idea
which he was never able to define in
telligibly. This is the legacy the, I'm
mortal J.. N. Free will leave. s.. z#.= 81 II. !:

The Football Hero.

In sizing up the modern Hercules
of the gridiron, the Detroit Free Press
unsparingly, though. we must admit,
truthfully says: THE football hero is
not nice to gaze upon. AS rule
bath is a crying want with him. He
has surplus of dirt and a minus Of
cuticle. Football heroes feel comfort
able with less cuticle than any other
heroes. No football hero is fully
dressed, so far as cuticle is concerned.
He leaves most of his epidermis upon
the green sward and the shoes Of the
other players. Football players usu-
ally wear their noses flatter and broad
er than other people. and their eyes,
as rule, are more highly colored.
Blacks and blues are very popular this
year. A football player is hero only
a few weeks. 1t is we'll that it is so,
for if he were expected to work as a
hero all the year round he would not
have face fit to wear. The first day
after Thanksgiving he has his hair cut
and gives his face a vacation, SO that
the wounds of the fray may heal.
When his face gets back to work it
is no handsomer than any other mans,
and the football player is not heard
of again until the snow flies. Foot
ball las been said to be brutal sport.
That il matter Of opinion. A sure
way to avoid the brutalities of foot
ball is to play croquet."

woods, where we will hide in a thicket
until daylight. When we are sure the
Indians are on their way to Mexico we
will come out and 60 home"
So at night, when the Indians were
sleeping, both girls slipped away into
the woods, which were not far, and
hid, as they had planned. When morn
ing came the Indians awoke and were
very much surprised to find that their
prisoners had escaped They did not
dare to hunt for them for fear they
would be discovered.
When Bessie and Frances were GER
tain that the Indians had started on
their journey, they went home to their
parents, who had been very anxious
about their safety and had been scour-
ing the woods all night.-Detroit Free

Select Delegates.

Ben Mcdaniel, one of our well-to-dc
farmers, makes suggestion anent the
court house proposition that is, to say
the least, worth considering.
Before another election is ordered by
the Board of Supervisors for the pur-
pose of voting court house bonds, Mr.
McDaniels suggests that each township
hold a caucus for the purpose of select
ing delegates TO represent the sentiment
Of the township at delegate conven-
ton to be held time set by the Board
Said township delegates to go instruct
ed or uninstructed-as determined by
the caucus vote-and their votes in the
convention to be taken as an express
sion of the sentiments of the people
or their township.
The delegates to be empowered with
authority to vote upon nothing but the
two vital and essential question: First
Shall the Board of Supervisors order
an election, forwith, to vote bonds for
the purpose of building new court
house in Decatur county?
Second-What shall be the maximum
amount of said bonds?
The purpose of this convention, be it
understood, is not to curtail any of the
Boards power, but simply to give the
Board clear understanding as to the
peoples desires at as small an expense
as possible and, at the same time,
eliminate the censure the Board is
sure to fall heir to under ordinary meth
DDS.
The caucuses, by the way, would in
volve no expense whatever and the
necessary expense incurred by the
delegates in attending the convention
might be betrayed by popular sub
scription or the township trustees
