When John Goodnow was consul general at Shanghai, China, he was an ardent collector of antique brasses, and, having acquired great many, was inordinately fond of showing them off. particularly small Buddha, studded with uncut turquoises and garnets. One day he invited a number of Chinese connoisseurs to see his col lection and upon their departure, Dr. Barchet, the official interpreter, over. heard one of them remark in Chinese: T heard this Goodnow had some pret- ty good brasses-why, he hasn't got a piece that's more than 1000 years old!"

All the loneliness of her life spoke to him wistfully, tenta- lively, in this room with it's unhome- like furnishing, it's air of emptiness.
 When he had finished she still kept pressing him to take more. His hand moved unthinkingly to his coat pock- ct, and she noticed the gesture in- stantly.

Hoosierdom is in a ferment of excite.
ment to-day and the greatest political
battle in recent years is on in earnest.
Chairman Jackson of the Democratic
State committee declares that victory
Is already assured and that Bryan and
Marshall have carried the State by a
safe majority. Similar optimistic ex.
pressions we're made at Republican
Headquarters. Both sides admit that
the vote will he close. All during the
campaign, Indiana has been the most
doubtful State OF the Union, and this
uncertainty is still lowering over the
issue of today's election. An uur,su.
ally heavy vote was cast all over the
State this morning. The governorshtp
light is quite as close as the contest
between Taft and Bryan. The liuuor
question has added to the uncertainty
OF the situation. 1t is generally nd.
mitted that the Republican party has
regeined some of its lost ground dur.
