indianapolis Starr


A story has recently been revived re-
garding Ell Martin, a well-known poll
tician and promoter of Indiana.
Several years ago when the Clover
Leaf railroad was built as a narrow
gauge line, Eli Marvin of Frankfort
was one Of the prominent officials, with
headquarters at Frankfort.
One day farmer walked into Mar
wins office, explaining that he was a
stock dealer and asked for a stock
mans pass.
why should you have a pass?"
asked Marvin.
I'm going to ship a calf from Frank
fort to Kokomo,' the man replied, land
it is the custom, I understad, to give
the shipper pass that he may travel
with stock"
What is the freight on the calf?''
Marvin asked.
Forty cents" said the stockman.
We'll" said Marvin 1.-The passenger
fare to Kokomo is 20 cents Well Just
issue a pass to the calf and you can

= Saving Shoe Leather.

These two Suggestions sound exceed
ingly practical, and if you have several
pairs of spry young feet to keep COW
cred, try them:
Get cents worth of neatsfoot oil
cover the bottom of fiat platter or bak-
ing pan with the oil: set the shoes in
oil at night; leave until morning; do not
oil uppers.
Repeat once a month. This keeps out
waer, keeps the feet dry, and prolongs
the life of the sole about two-fold. Do
not put on shoes first morning until
ready to leave the house. Oil will soil
carpets and floors until thoroughly dried
into the sole.
A coat of gum of copal varnish ap-
piled to the soles of boots and shoes,
and repeated as it dries until the pores
are filled and the surface shines like
polished mahogany will make the soles
waterproof and make them last three
times as long.

A Kansas City professional man, who
is prominently identified with Missouri
politics, tells the following story on
himself:
my folks moved from Indiana to
johnson county, Mo, when l was 6
years of age. We settled on farm
near Holden.
1.-The first Sunday we were there, and
while the family was preparing for Sun
day school, it was discovered that did
not have any shoes. My mother realiz
ing that folks would talk if one of her
children made his first public appear
ance barefooted, suggested that 1 have
cloth tied around one foot to create
the impression that 1 was unable to
wear shoes because of a sore foot. So
the rag was tied on me.
Everything went along smoothly
and / learned all about bears eating
the bad children up when I heard
smoker from boy 1 afterward licked.
He was pointing to my right foot. l
glanced downward.
THE rag had slipped off and my
mothers ruse was exposed

God Save All Here, +"

There is d prayer that's breathed alone
In dear old Erin's land;
Ills uttered on the threshold stone
With smiles and clasDing hand;
And oft, perchance, tbs murmuTed low
With sigh and falling tear,
The grandest meeting man may know
The prayer, God save all here"
In other lands they kno wnot we'll
How priceless is the lore
That hedges with a sacred spell
Old Ireland's cabin door
To those it is no empty sound
Who think oft with a tear
OF long-loved mem'ries wreathins
round
The prayer, God save all here"
Live on, prayer, in Ireland still,
To bless each threshold true,
The echoes of her homes to fill
With fervor ever new:
And guarding with its hold spell
The soul and conscience clear,
Be craven on each heart as we'll
The prayer, God save all here"

Jacob Hope, the head of Philadel-
phia's famous phonograph school fol
parrots, said the other day:
There are worse things than {
swearing parrot, and one was brought
over on a German boat last month. His

lady bought him.
But she had to bring him to me
The parrot, though he didn't swear
had evidently spent most Of his time

The Turn of the Year.

The pines shake and the winds wake
And the dark waves crowd the sky
linei
The birds fly out on the troubled sky;
The widening road lies white and long
And the page is turned,
And the world is tired!
So l want no more of twilight sloth,
And I want no more of resting,
And of all the earth / ask no more
Than the green sea, the great sea-
The long road, the white road,
And change of life today!

specuIator Scorned to Make Provision
for Lean Years.

The late Townsend Percy, specu-
lator and promoter, who made and lost
more than one fortune in the course
of his life, used to be fond of repeating
some of his mothers witticisms at his
expense, generally brought about by
his extravagances during his periods
Of prosperity. Once Percy had driven
four-in-hand for year, when an un-
fortunate deal made it necessary for
him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him:
Townsend, don't you think that It
would be better to drive one horse
four years, instead of four horses one
year,"
Another time, when on the verge Of
financial crash, Percy still owned
considerable stable, and gave no out
ward sign Of pecuniary embarrass-
ment. His mother met an old friend
Of the family about this period, who
congratulated her on her sons sue
cess in life. II am glad that Townsend
is doing so WELL" said the friend.

lady. Townsend has six horses and

TREASURES IN LONDON BANKS.
Sultan Of Morocco Has $5,000,000
Worth of Jewels There.

Abdul-Aziz, sultan Of Morocco, Is
taking no chances Of losing his per-
sonal jewelry in the course Of one Of
the frequently recurring disturbances
in his country. Locked up in the
vaults of a bank near Charing Cross,
London, the jewels, valued at s5,O00,-
900, are guarded night and day. They
occupy space less than the size
Of bushel basket and lie about thirty
feet below the level of the Strand.
Not far away, in the same vault,
are several million pounds worth Of
unclaimed jewelry, some Of which was
deposited there during the French
revolution. French people, fearful Of
being robbed in the reign Of terror,
secretly conveyed their possessions to
London and vast quantity has been
left uncalled for. The bank authorities
have failed in every effort to locate
the original owners heirs.
An offer Of $1,250,000 as loan on
the sultan's jewelry has been made,
but the sultan Is anxious to raise

not permit any responsible member o,
the Republican organization to mis-
represent the attitude of your party
in the present campaign. You will
have no difficulty in getting me to rep.
resent it Alright, for my sole anxiet,
is that the people of the country shall
understand this attitude clearly and
shall them condemn it as it should be
condemned. You say that you have
advocated more radical measures
against private monopolies than eithe,
or my party associates have been
willing to undertake. You have in.
deed advocated measures that sound
more radical, but they have the prime
defect that in practice they would not
work. I should not in this letter to
you discuss your attitude on this ques-
tion if you did not yourself bring it up,
but as you have brought it up, an
swer rou that in my judgment the
measures you advocate would be who'll
ly ineffective in curing a single evil,
and, so far as they had any effect at
all, would merely throw the entire
business of the country into hopeless
and utter confusion.

Armes Gives Up Long Struggle.

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
A brave fight for life, in which all
the knowledge of medical science wa,
brought to the aid of the stricken man,
came to an end shortly before $3.50
last evening when P. c. Armes after
having been in comatose condition
for several hours passed away.
Four weeks ago last Sunday the
young man started from Shoshone
where he was employed as superintend
ent of the construction of dam for
the Central Colorado Power Co., to
spend the day in this city, making the
trip on his bicycle. He was found sew
eral hours later lying beside the road
unconscious with his face terribly ia.
cerated.
He was removed to the hospital at
Shoshone and afterwards brought to
the sanitarium in what proved to be u
vain hope that he might be restored to
health despite concussion of the
brain which it was at once seen was
more than serious. For four weeks he
hung between life and death, occasion
ally having rational periods, but more,
often remaining in comatose condi.
tion, and two weeks ago hope wa.
practically abandoned.
The young man was born in Ran
dolph, N. Y, on April 10. 1875, and
has an uncle in LEROY, N. Y, also
distant relatives in Denver. He was
engaged to an estimable young lady
of this city. Deceased was very popli-

HUSBAND LETS DEsPoLLER GO.
From Tuesdays Daily Post

A situation of the kind that all too
often causes tragedy brought to a
climax in this city at midnight last
night the story of an unfaithful wife
and ruined home, but fortunately the
view of the matter taken by the wrong
ed husband prevented the necessity for
calling on an undertaken.
From all that can be learned of the
affair it was case of too much Smith,
something along the line of ''The
Wrong Mr.. Wright" F" 1t seems that two
or three days ago Jessie Smith, wife of
Ezra Smith of Fruita, disappeared from
home taking their little 5year old
daughter. About the same time one
John Smith dropped from view and
conditions prior to their simultaneous
departure led naturally to the conclu-
sion that it had more than casual sig
nificance.
The husband started on still hunt
and getting clue to their whereabouts
W this w s'ct'''"N "'N'A'i""
led by Deputy Sheriff Steve Nichols of
Fruita and taking local officer along
they proceeded at midnight to room
house where it had been ascertained
the two were living as Mr.. and Mrs
Smith.
The right Mr.. Smith obtained the
evidence on which to base divorce
suit, as well as the little girl his de-
mand for whom was readily acquiesced
in. and departed without further hos
tilities. The husband appears satisfied
to let the woman go now that he has
basis for suit and the custody OF
| their child and it is probable that q
charge brought against the woman and
the wrong Mr.. Smith will not BIT
