HISTORIC PEN HELD As RELIC.
Used by Franklin In Signing Declara-
ton Of Independence.

George Edward McLeland, who lives;
at 1926 North New Jersey street, Indi..
annapolis, does not have much use for
a pen. inasmuch as he is not yet five.
years old, but he nevertheless has the
most interesting pen in Indianapolis.
1t is the one with which Benjamin
Franklin signed the Declaration Of
independence. His grandfather, Capt.
George w. McLeland, who has passed
his eighty-sixth birthday, has handed
the relic down to the younger George.
Capt. McLeland received it from his
grandfather, Alexander McLeland. who
was q page in the continental CON.
gress.
Grandfather was page in that
historic congress-" said the youthful
Georges 86-year-old grandfather, "and
he was nicknamed Sandy by its
members. He gave me this pen, which
ls made of wild turkey feather, when

Jefferson county, in 1881.

as big as young George there, when he

men who signed the Declaration of In.
dependence did not use the same pen.

Cemetery's Strange Uses.

According to the reports submitted
by keepers of Pere Lachaise, the fa-
nous Partisan cemetery IL utilized for
many other objects besides the burial
place of wellto-do families. It is q re.
sort of thieves who steal the bronze
and brass work, which they take bit
by bit from the tombs and hide in
their pockets. 1t is also Z hunting
ground for collectors of curios, who,
armed with hooked sticks, break tho
windows of the little chapels over the
tombs and abstract small vases Of I'll.
yer and other precious metals.
Women, too, make practice OF
stealing wreaths Of imitation pearls.
which they place under their dress
and afterwards sell to dealers as their
own make. The cemetery il Likewise
the resort of sentimental lovers.
When those seen kissing are very
young, the keepers take their names
and communicate with their parents.
Thus is many schoolgirls romance

tombs of people in no way related
to them. This is with an eye to tho
coming of a male consoler, who event
ually departs with the supposed Wild

CAN'T TRUST TAFT.

Our contemporary has found
a reason for giving support to
the democratic candidate for
president and in order to ease
the editorial conscience takes
his readers into his confidence
and tells them why Taft should
not have the united support of
his party.
1t seems that some far-sight-
ed one has looked into the
future and found that it is
likely that the next president
will appoint four justices of the
supreme court of the United
States. The News man fears
that Taft would appoint all
republicans and prefers Bryan
for the reason that he might
be broad enough not to appoint
all democrats but some repub-
licans.' He is cute enough to
use the word might"
1t should be remembered
that the News man has hereto.
fore posed AS a republican
one of the pure and undefiled
kind who call themselves pro-
gressives" and call everyone
who disagrees with them cor
poration hireiings.
But now it has come to pass
that the apostle of purer repub
licanism will not trust the head
of the party and would rather
have the nominations to the
supreme bench made by his
opponent.
He would rather have the
vacancies on the supreme
bench filled by one who in his
public utterances has ridiculed
the court, questioned it's de-
cisions and the honesty of it's
members than by one who by
temperament and experience is
the better qualified and who
has ever been an upholder of
the hi CHEST tribunal in the
land.
He would prefer these nomi-
nations made by Bryan, the
professional demogogue and
political trimmer, rather than
by William H. Taft, who has
been faithful to every trust
imposed upon him by his fellow
citizens. He refuses to trust
the man qualified by training
and experience, but would un-
willingly put this power in
the hands of a blatant dema-
gOgue who has done nothing
in the twelve years he has
been before the public but
foment discord and distrust.
And yet the News man claims
to be a republican!
