A MUSICAL LEGEND.

The Chinese story of the Eight Prius-
tive Hidden sounds.
The Chinese have some extraordinary
superstitions relating to music. Ac-
cording to their queer notions, the Gre
ator of the universe hid eight sounds in
the earth for the express purpose Of
compelling man to find them out. On
the same principle, 1t is presumed, Ju-
piter, according to Virgil. hides fire in
flint and honey in trees in order to
whet the ardor Of mans industry to
persevere in his efforts to rediscover
the hidden treasures.
According to the Celestial idea, the
eight primitive sounds are hidden in
stones, silks, woods of various kinds,
the bamboo plant, pumpkins, in the
skins of animals, in certain earths and
in the air itself. Any one who has ever
had the pleasure @ of seeing and lis
tening to a Chinese orchestra will re-
member that their musical instruments
were made of all these materials ex-
cept the last and that the combined eff
forts Of the other seven seemed better
calculated to drive the ethereal sound
away than to coax it from the air,
which Is really the object of all Chi
nese musical efforts. When the bands
play, the naive credulity of the people,
both old and young, hears in the thuds
OF the gongs and the whistiing of the
pipes the tones of the eternal sounds
of nature that were originally deposit
ed in the various animate and mani.
mate objects by the all wise Father
Exchange

BOMB IS THROWN
AMONG DEMOCRATS
Wholesale Prosecution to Re-
suit From Illegal Voting
AT Primary.
FACE PRISON SENTENCE.
ALLEGED THAT THEY VOTED
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
WHICH is PUNISHABLE BY A
FINE AND TERM IN JAIL.

Chicago, Aug. ia move has been
made which will result in wholesale
prosecution of democrats who signed
democratic primary petitions and then
voted republican ballots last Saturday
in an effort to defeat Governor Dinecn
Criminal prosecutions of men who are
allegeu to have committed forgery are
also included in thenew move.
Attorney Harry l.. Shaver has gone
to Springfield for the purpose of MAX
ing card index of the names on the
democratic primary petitions filed
from the Sixth congressional and other
districts, in which it is alleged hum
republican primary.
These names will be compared with
the poll books in securing evidence to
prove that democrats violated the pro-
visions of the primary law by voting
republican tickets. Under the new
law the penalty is fine of 500 or i'm
prisonment in Jail one year or both.
Twenty-Five thousand names, it is
estimated, are attached to democratic
petitions from which it will be posi-
BILE to get evidence, and hundreds of
prosecutions are expected to follow
Thousands of voters were challenged
at the primary, and in each case the
person was compelled to make aft,
davit that he was a republican. This
record is written in each instance, and
will be used in the prosecutions for
perjury contemplated. This is a peni
Tertiary offense under the new law.
Seasoned politicians see bitter work
ahead that is likely to stir anew fac
tional party strife. Political chiefs
are endeavoring to blame conditions

contend is arraigning brother against

Plain Enqlism

Stubbins' wife came into the room
where he was sitting. She was twist
ing herself around in the effort to
look at the back of her new blouse.
BY the tense line and bullying aspect
about her lips he knew that her mouth
was full of pins.
"Umph - goof - suff - wuf - sh-
ffsprog" she said.
The brilliant sally caused him to look
up.
Yes" he said; sit looks very we'll"
"Owf-wuff-so-gs- - INF - ugh

Perhaps it would look better IL you
did that" he said: '.but, still, 1t fits
very nicely as ii is
She gasped and emptied the pins into
her hand. Then she said with asperity

they must have for the delightful old
fashioned village filled with pleasant
memories.
A love for home is the beginning
and end of all patriotism. II one does
not love his native town how can he
love his country. The historian who
would seek out the reason for the I'M
tagging patriotism of the great men
who came from Centerville and saved
the union in the civil war will find
reason in the splendid welcome which
Centerville gave its former sons and
daughters yesterday.

November.
Il only feel like saying" said Mr.
Kern. that the situation looks awful

Mr.. Kern arrived in Indianapolis at
6 O'Clock last night from Chicago.
He has been attending the Bryan noti-
tication exercises at Lincoln. He
went at once to his home on North
Pennsylvania street.
The exercises at Lincoln" he said
were a great success and were very
gratifying to the democrats. The re-
publican postmaster at Lincoln and
the governor of the state took an act

the speeches are concerned the AFFAIR

THE TOY INVENTOR.
HIS Hardest Task Is to Catch the
Fancy of the Public.

His Hardest Task Is to Catch the
Fancy of the Public.
The small inventor is an important
factor in the mechanical toy business,
and he earns all of the living he gets
in thinking up devices. He is most con-
cerned with the small mechanical toys,
and, in addition to the prime requisite
Of putting forth something novel, he
must get something which costs as lit
tie as possible and which catches the
fancy of the multitude. This last point
Is one which is most difficult to cover.
No student Of the subject has ever yet
been able to discover or deduce the
cycle in which the public taste moves,
and it is still hit or miss as to whether
a figure which walks on its hands, an
airship with wings or an acrobat who
works by gravity will be the best sell
err Then, when the invention has been
achieved, the inventor has still the
problem Of finding the maker who will
buy it and pay a fair price. The in
ventor and maker are in much the
same position as the writer and pub.
Usher; both go through the same men
tai turmoil as to the timeliness Of the
output and both take the same risks.
The inventor who has been in the
business long learns at last the best
places at which to offer his wares and
has more or less Of an idea Of what
they ought to bring him, and once he
has acquired this knowledge his entire
energy is devoted to keeping up with
the demand for newness. Something
absolutely different from anything elst
previously offered is in general better
than an improvement Of an old idea
and that is why in mechanical toys the
same device Is seldom seen two season:

The DEVILS Advocate,

In connection with the Roman Cath
Ole ceremony of canonization there is
an official called 1.-The DEVILS advocate"
When the church is ready to proceed
with the steps preliminary to the can
onization, an able man is appointed to
assail the memory of the candidate
and to bring against him all possible
charges. which the other side must
satisfactorily dispose Of. This accuser
is known as the devils advocate"
and not until he is silenced by the dis
proof Of his charges can the canoniza-
ton be accomplished.

MURDERER WEEPS
UPON SCAFF0LD
Arizona Criminal Is Put to
Death.

Tuscon, Ariz., Aug 15.-Edwin w.
Hawkins, self-confessed murderer OF
Albert C. Leonhardt, of Columbus. O.,
who was killed on December %, 1907,
while resisting a hold-up, was execut-
ed in the state prison here yesterday.
He wept when the black cap was
drawn over his head.
Hawkins at first claimed that the
killing of Leonhardt was the result OF
an insult to Mrs. Hawkins, when the
couple was walking along the street.
Later he admitted that he tried TO rob
Leonhardt and that in the struggle
which followed, he killed the Ohio
man.

Farmers.

The farmers and gardeners who
have been digging their potatoes re-
port that the pieces of potatoes that
were planted for seed last spring and
which usually rot shortly after the
vines begin to form above the ground,
are yet as sound and solid as they
were when first placed in the ground.
In numerous instances they have
started to sprout again. Farmers re.
call no similar situation in the past
several years.
