good things, the most notable,
perhaps, being the large number
of excellent stories by such we'll

Gowan Cooke, Clara Morris,
Temple Bailey, Imogen Clark,
Gertrude Lynch and Henrietta
Lee Coulling, while the children

fully illustrated throughout, and
the various departments are full
of practical suggestions for the
various seasonable doings, the
Household, Needlework and Fa-

partiality lies in the fact that the
Republican party has in it's fold
more temperance people to be
moved by the anti-saloonists.
And possibly Republicans are less
tenacious in adhering to their
party. Be this as it may, the
fact is just as stated above, the
Anti-Saloon League helps the
Democratic party more than it
aids the Republicans. Perhaps
this is inevitable; anyhow, it is
unfortunate. The League wants
to be fair, but fails as to the out
come of its activities.
The election of Judge Harmon
by the liquor interest will bring

Deserved a Cracker.

Here Is the story of a parrot that
protected her masters home from bur
glars. The thieves entered through one
of the front paror windows crept
through the hall. passed the bird and
began opening the sideboard in which
the silver was kept.
One of them had gathered up the
costly Turkish rugs on the floor when
Polly spoke cut.
''Is that you. Frank" she asked.
The burglars stopped, and Polly re-
peated the question in a louder and
more imperative key. BY this time the
noise had awakened her master.
He grasped revolver and made for
the head OF the stairs, touched an cleo
tric button and lit the lights In the
hall. Three men were struggling has
tily through the front door.
Downstairs the master found Polly
in her cage under the piano. The cage
was upset, but the bird uninjured. He
placed her right side up on the piano,
when she lifted her frightened head
from under her wing and asked again,

Der of persons, one of whom, called the
butterfly" names the others after
trees. flowers, birds OF insects.
The butterfly pretends to fly from
one to another, asking each for his
story and then commenting on it as be
pleases. Each of the players when thus
addressed must give some quotation or
mention some tale or legend about the
tree, flower, bird or insect which he
represents. Thus the apple tree may
allude to the story of William Tell and
the robin to the cock robin, while the
hlackbird may quote:

The So Called Century Plant.

A widespread misapprehension exists
about the 50 called century plant,
which is that it blooms only at the ex-
piration of hundred years, says the
Chicago News. Another misapprehen-
sion Is that it takes the plant hun
dred years to get its first flower and
then blooms every year. Still another
Is that it is a cactus. The truth about
the plant is as follows: 1t Is an agave,
not a cactus. 1t got its name, century
plant, from the fact that 1t was for
merly believed to attain it's growth and
bloom only after hundred years. but
1t will mature In ten years with the
soil and climate both favorable. In
less favorable situations it natures in
about seventy years. The plant is re-
imarkable for one thing especially. 1t
blooms as soon as it has attained it's
full growth. whenever that may be,
and then dies. But the bloom is wOr-
thy of from ten to seventy years to
produce it, for it has a stem about
forty feet in height. No wonder it is
called "agave." which In Greek means
noble"

that occurred near Beech Grove

was set and about a hundred
men and boys assembled to see
the carnage. A ring was form
ed, the combatants, las gladia-

words passed and they were tell
ing each other that blood must
flow to appease the great wrath.
The gladiators were pushed into
the ring and the fight was on.
We held our breath, expectant to
see grim death before us in a
short time. The dust flew, oaths
were repeated. The, fight was
fast and seemed furious. The
combatants chad enough and as
they were led away you could
hear each telling his friends how
he chewed the other fellow up.
Oh, such carnage! When they
were washed up not a drop of
blood was spilled or a scratch

Aside from the cold compress or ice
which every oRe knows should be put
on a child's neck at the base Of the
head, there are other remedies which
should be resorted to II the bleeding is
at all profuse. In addition to the cold
compress on the back Of the neck lay
a cloth wrung out Of cold water over
the root Of the nose and instruct the
child to hold the arms high over the

The child should not be allowed to
blow his nose for some time after the
bleeding has stopped, for If this is
done it Is apt to make the nosebIeed

The Sun and Moon.

Many boys and girls doubtless won
der why the sun and the moon appear
larger when near the horizon than
when we'll up in the sky. This question
has always puzzled the scientists and
has never been settled with absolute
definiteness. Perhaps the best answer
to the question may be given in the
words of the eminent astronomer Her
schel: ''The dilated size Of the sun or
moon when seen near the horizon has
nothing to do with refraction. 1t is an
illusion of the Judgment, arising from
the terrestrial objects interposed or
placed in comparison with them"

The railroads of the world carry
4,5OO, ,OOO, 600 passengers annually.
In 1880 the world contained only
some 21O miles of railway. There are
now over $4,000 miles.
The most active years Of railway con-
struction in the United States were In
1889, when 1850 miles were added to
the operated railroads, and in 1887.
when the increase was 1857 miles.
In Korea a third class railway ticket
costs 11k cents a mile If the distance
Travelled does not exceed fifty miles,
but If it exceeds 800 miles the rate is
only half cent mile. At that rate

while others suicide, and the
white plague and paralysis are
claiming their share. A few
days ago a Mr.. Lacy died of ap-
oplexy within a few hours. Last
week Jerome Hopkins, a promi-
nent farmer, who had been on a
protracted drunk, cut his throat
while in the county jail laying
out a fine of SIS. He did a sue
cessful job, as he only lived an
hour or two after committing the
deed. w. S. Fleming, ex-Clerk
of the Jay county court, died of
paralysis and was inferred in

Reed died of paralysis also. Mrs.

J. G. Collins of Nashville, Ten

tus to temperance in that state,
but here we have much to learn
and you can take a lesson from
us. When you see a minister
vote the Prohibition ticket or
vote for a Democrat because he
is a member of his church, they
are the men backing up sinister
motives, and we should pray for
them, saying to them as the Lord
said in the Garden of Eden, "Ad-

Why Was Gov. Harris
Defeated?
BY LEO.

the Rose local option bill. The
liquor interest demanded of him
a veto of that bill, Threatening
defeat in case of refusal. Des-
pite the threat the Governor re-
fused to veto the bill, and on ell
ection day was defeated.
II. he had vetoed the bill his
defeat would have been just as
certain, and probably more over
whelming. The Governor was
placed between the devil and
the deep sea-" He preferred
the risk of going into the sea,
and down he went. The Cover
nor did his duty in signing the
bill at any risk to himself per-
sonally. He is in no way dis
graced by his defeat.
Voters are somewhat inconsis-
tent. John Pattison was elected
governor of Ohio because he
professed himself a temperance
man. In his campaign speeches
he dared the liquor people to do
their worst. They did; but the
temperance people of both par
ties rallied to his support. Pro-
badly about seventyfve thousand
Republicans cast their votes
for the Democratic candidate be-
cause of his professed temper
ance principles. At the late ell
ection Harris stood precisely on
the same temperance platform
as did his lamented predecessor.
He was in no way behind John
Pattison in his zeal for temper
ance legislation, and yet the ma
jority Of Ohio voters voted him
down and out.
The Anti-Saloon League breth-
rem seem to have power over
some Republican voters. They
can persuade them to vote for a
Democrat in preference to a Re-
publican if the Democrat is fav-
orable to anti-saloonism; but
when it comes to prevail on tenn
perance Democrats to vote for a
Republican candidate they are
minus power. They mean well,
but are. unable to control Demo-
Gratis.
Their influence, therefore, is
inimical to the Republican party.
They are bipartisan in their
intention, and also in their ac-
tivities; but they have little in
fluence to change the voting of
temperance Democrats. The late
election shows it conclusively.
The Anti-Saloon League people
worked zealously for Harris, but
Harmon was elected in spite of
them.
It was very much the same
years ago when the Prohibition
lists formed the third party.
Nearly all the temperance legis-
lation on our statute books was
enacted by Republican law max
ers, and yet the Prohibitionists
hindered Republican success
more than that of Democrats.
When the Anti-S Saloon League
was organized it was to be nom
political and omni. partisan. Has
it fulfilled the promises? In one
way, yes. The League does not
tie to any one party. It will side
with any political party promis-
ing help to close the saloons.
And yet the Leagues influence
has most always aided the sue
cess of the Democratic party.
It defeated Governor Herrick
because he refused to take ad-
vanced steps in temperance leg
islatiOn, and it failed to elect
