The number of Indiana newspapers
that find their way to our desk now
adays is considerable. All of them,
it may be noted, contain leading odl-
torials framed in blue-pencil MARKS
and all of these editorials deal with
the same parsonage. A copy of the
Fort Wayne News which lies at our
elbow heads its editorial column with
rhapsody entitled A Growing Candl-
date, which begins as follows: "The
friends of Mr.. Fairbanks have every
reason to be entirely satisfied with
the political situation. And they are -
Good enough If the friends OF Mr.
Fairbanks are satisfied with the politl-

along that the chances of the wee
president were as slim as an EXCELSIOR
fed hog, but we didn't know that the
Indiana mans friends could be so
complacent about it.

The effect of this announcement, alb
solutely the opposite of what had been

Good fortune seemed TO guide the
destinies of the two trains and 1t was
evident in more than one of the cir
cumstances surrounding the affair.
Had either of the trains been min
ute earlier or later nothing could have
prevented terrible collision. The
south. bound express with its seven
heavily loaded cars was just at the
top of the grade that begins about a
mile south of Broad brook and conse-
auently was not travelling at full
speed nor under great momentum. a
minute more, however, and it would
have been rushing along the level
stretch that leads to Dummer station
and sudden standstill would have
been impossible. The crew of the
north bound train had a premonition
that something wrong was going to
happen and were more alert than us
ual even to detect any suspicious sign
The shred of smoke which the engi-
neer of the up train saw just before
reaching the cut where the collision
occurred was enough under these cir
eumstances to make him take heroic
measures to stop his train forthwith,
and his prompt action did as much as
anything toward averting loss of life
All things considered, the result of
the operator negligence was more
fortunate than would be the ease once
in a thousand similar blunders, but
this very good fortune serves to EN-.
phasize the terrible cost at which such
mistakes are usually made.

FIRE FERGUSON.

Since the passage OF the localoptloh
law in 1902 the number Of license
towns in this state has steadily de-
creased, the prohibition of liquor sell
inc in no license towns has become
more effective than ever, hypocrisy
has given place to straightforward
methods in dealing with the liquor
traffic and conditions as whole have
shown a vast Improvement over those
that existed in the days of so-eaiied
prohibition. And yet in spite of this
array of facts, which are known oy
everyone interested in the subject and
admitted by all who are fair minded
enough to tell the truth, people Will
allow themselves to be hoodwinked
into passing resolutions to the eheet
that the present statute is "wholly
Intellectual to accomplish the control
of the liquor traffic" This is just
what happened at the Baptist state
convention last week. A set of sane
and sensible resolutions were brought
in by the committee on temperance
These were at once pounced upon by
the anti-saloon leaguers headed by
the rev. (meaning reverberator) G. j.
Ferguson, and torn to shreds for the
reason that they did not contain an
open slap at the present liquor law.
In spite of the opposition that came
from the reasonable element of the
convention Ferguson and his funkies
triumphed and secured the passage Oh
resolutions containing assertions That
are not true and making recommends
tions that are extremely foolish. How
long are the sensible temperance poo
pie of the state going to allow their
cause to be damaged by the Ham
bovant flounderings Of flub like Fer
guson? Were he truly devoted to the
cause Of temperance he would spend
his time arousing public sentiment IN
favor of no.license with view to re-
ducing to a minimum the number OF
YES towns in Vermont; he would
cease bawling invective against a law
that is proving absolutely successful
wherever it is backed by public senti'
ment (Which is all that can be expect
ed of any law; in short, he would try
to accomplish something worth while
in return for the salary which some
body is foolishly paying him.

RECEIVES PRICE LIST
OF WILD ANIMALS

chased by Richmond.
WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD

President Merrill has received a
price list of wild animals from Louis
Ruhe, 24S Grand street, New York.
Mr. Ruhe is a famous wild animal
dealer and he sent his price list to
Mr. Merrill on learning that the To-
cal board of public works was con-
templating enlarging the ZOO at Glen
Miller park
1t is of general interest to know
the value of some of the animals that
are gazed at by hundreds of people
ever time a circus shows here. Mr..
Ruhe offers a tame elephant for ST.
400; zebras at $3.50; two year old
lion at $3.50 and a seven year old lion
for $500. Leopards came at $175,
hyenas at SIS; a female polar bear
for $3.50, pumas for $3.50. Little
marmozette monkeys bring 81 a pair
while a baboon is worth $40. Little
ringtail monkeys are priced 50 each.
The board will order several mon
keys and it is probable that some
wild animal like the leopard or the
puma will be purchased. The board
would like to get an elephant but
these big animals seem to be worth
their weight in gold.

THE AUTO CAR GIRL.

Che rises early to greet the morn,
The dashing girl of the auto car,
With cheeks that rival the damask rose
And eyes outsnining the evening star.
In a motor coat and a flowing veil.
Ere the city kindes its breakfast fires
She takes a spin in her swift machine,
The wondrous steed that never tires
She is off at last like lightning fash.
With waving kerchef and dimplius
smile.
To thread the tangle of traffic's maze,
Her speed increasing with every mile.
Till streets and houses are far behind
And blackberry vines and wild rose
briers
Reach out in vain on the country road
To touch the rims of the rolling tires.
Her slender fingers are firm and true
In their steady grip of the steering
wheel,
Her head is cool, and her eyes are clear.
And her nerves are tempered and tense
as steel
With a merry party of friends she speeds
BY shady forests and windy byres.
Where cattle come to the bars to gaze
At flying tonneau and twinkling tires.
Her practiced ear is the first to hear
When the even pur Of the motor
''sl1ips;''
She is out and down in the dust at once.
The charming chauffeuse with cherry
lips.
She knows exactly the tool to use
And the length of time that the work
requires.
And soon the ribbon of road again
Is Keeling off from beneath the tires.
She loves the car that has borne her far
Through many a fair and fowery scene;
thousand pleasures have made it dear
And bound her heart to the big ma
chine.
A single blast of the brazen horn
Is all the music her soul desires.
And she points with pride to the sign Of
power
The breadth of base Of the rubber tires.
She was wooed and won in the summer
time
While racing under the silver moon.
And the snowy satin and frosty lace
OF bridal garments will robe her soon.
And the happy lovers have planned to go,
When spring is training her feathered
choirS,
For a honeymoon in an auto car
With orange blossoms around the tires.

the Island of Trinidad. 1t lays its eggs
in a nest made of mud and the young
birds are prodigiously fat. The natives
melt the fat down in clay pots, and
produce from it a kind of butter. The
caves inhabited by the birds are usual
ly accessible only from the sea, and
the hunting of them is sometimes an
exciting sport.-Youth's Companion.
