An Enslishman's Address ut . Ladiss
Seminary In Siam.
The influential Englishman in Siam
ffattered himself that he had a very
decent knowledge of the language and
was ready to do great things. He had
already ordered coffee from his hotel
waiter with success and asked the
boy to bring up his boots.
Now, influential Englishmen in
Siam are not as common as cock
reaches. and that afternoon the dis
tinguished visitor was requested by
a friend to deliver an address on
England" at the only ladies' sem
inary in the country. Confidently he
accepted.
He began famously. Every one ap-
plauded and smiled. But gradually az
he proceeded he noticed CONSERVATION
overspreading the countenances of his
listeners.

in English anxiously to his friend or

CONCRETE POLE
BREAKS At TOP
Accident Does Not Mean Pole
a Failure.

One of the concrete poles construct
ed at the corner of Fort Wayne ave
nue. and North ID street to support the
trolley wire, has proved defective and
broken off about three feet from the
top. The strain of the guy wire proved
too severe. 1t is believed this failure
does not necessarily mean that a con-
crete post will not withstand a later,
al strain. but was due simply to de-
feet in the concrete work. When the
pole broke the concrete pulled away
from the steel rods through the cen,
ter and there were bent, but not bro
ken or buckled.

AT CAMBRIDGE.

Cambridge City, Ind. Dec. 30.-The

Mrs. Rufus Baker of Sulphur Springs.

The lad is a monster. II is nine
months old and weighs 40 pounds. On
several occasions it has had its pic

1t is the concensus of opinion through
out the state that 1t is the champion

In the singular experience reported
to the Paris medical society by Drs.
Chauffard and Vidal. man and his
wife were taken with pneumonia with
in few hours of each other. and the
disease ran an almost identical course
in each acse. Their illness began on
day in June following one on which
they drank much cold water from a
we'll. One could not have taken the
disease from the other. as is usual
in family epidemics. and common I'M
favorable surroundings could hardly
have had simultaneous effect. That
pneumonia germs from the well water
inoculated the patients seemed to be
the only conclusion possible.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure 1t Because The
Lack of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is strong, powerful
organ, which is composed of muscles
of great strength 1t is filled during
digestion, with gastric juices. which
when the stomach, extending and
COMPRISING the food, dissolve it and
separate the nourishment from the
waste matter. If. however, these gas
trio juices are lacking, the stomach is
not capable of digesting its food be-
cause it has not the tools with which
to work successfully.
The gastric juices, when in a per
feet state, do away with all foul odors,
fermentation and decay, reduce the
food to a disintegrated mass and the
stomach then presses it into the intes-
tines where another form of digestion
takes place. Then the intestines take
from this mass of food all that is
nourishing and give it to the blood
system.
If instead of nourishment the mites
tines receive impure deposits combin,
ed with poisonous and imperfect gas
trio juice, it can be readily seen that
| they must turn such imperfect nour
! ishment into the blood. The BLOOD
| then being able to give each part OF
the body that which it requires, be
| comes impoverished and disease IL
spread broadcast.

An Aneodote Of Duport and the EN-.

Napoleon, in a way, was fond of
music. 1t is admitted that the mu-
steal tastes of 1.-The Corsican ogre"
were not elevated. But for all that he
loved singing so much that many a
time after a concert he ordered the
vocalists to come to the palace and
sing before him and the Empress Jo-
Sephine.

lists. One night at concert at the
Tuileries, while Duport, the famous
violoncellist, was performing a solo,
the emperor suddenly entered. His
majesty nodded his head approvingly
and when the piece was finished said
to Duport:
"How the deuce do you manage to
keep that instrument so motionless?"
And, taking up the cello, he tried to
jam it between his spurred boots
Poor Duport nearly tainted when he
saw his treasure treated like wal
horse. For several minutes he looked
on. trembling from head to foot Al
last, however. he darted- forward and
called out "Sire." in such pathetic
tones that the emperor handed hin
back the instrument.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
Copy. ighf, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Yes; know Albert isn't handsome
perhaps be is homely-but love him
just the same"
That was what Martha Day Greiner
of Denver said about Albert Charles
Dickinson of the same place.
Albert's face Is as homely as that OF
Abraham Lincoln.
Nevertheless Martha is in love with
him. Dan Cupid, who shoots at hearts
regardless of exteriors, fatally wound
Cd both Martha and Albert.
Do that when Papa Greiner objected
that Albert was entirely too ugly to
be his son-in-law Martha replied by
clipping with Albert to Chicago.
Gre,ner followed, and there was a
scene. The couple were arrested. Mar
tina pleaded for Albert, and Greiner
finally consented If they would all re-
turn home the wedding might proceed.
Interviewed by a reporter, Martha
said:
81 know he isn't handsome. Fa-
theirs objection is that Albert has red
hair, but that is not his fault He
may not be good looking, but he has
winning ways"
Good for you, Martha!
For such a woman one might well
elope much farther than from Denver
to Chicago.
Martha sees qualities in Albert the
world does not see. She knows that.
while beauty is only skin deep, good
ness is soul deep. She knows that Al
bert's winning ways come from q
warm heart. And when you are choos-
ing enc whom you are to live with all
your life soul qualities count.
y, Abraham Lincoln's homely face was
xlorffied by the great soul that shone
through the honest, rugged features
And so Martha can see a halo about
the red head Of Albert which her IA.
Their cannot see.
And as for the red hair
Why, forsooth, let the father look
up the historic records Of the red
headed.
To say nothing Of Rufus the Red
there's Shakespeare, and Napoleon
and Oliver Cromwell, and Thomas JET
ferson. They had red hair.
And IL you go into the feminine
class most distinguished women Of
history have had flaming red tops
Titan red at least Cleopatra, ant
Charlotte Corday, and Catherine Of
Russia, and Elizabeth Of England. and
Bernhardt.
Martha is right

WAYNE COUNTY'S
METHOD FAVORED
Mosbaugh's Recording System
Will Probably be Legal
lied Soon.
LEGISLATURE is TO ACT
BILL WILL BE PRESENTED ADOPT.
ING RECORD FILING PLAN USED
BY THE RETIRING COUNTY RE-
coRDER.

That the system of keeping records
in the Wayne county recorders office
will be legalized by the legislature in
the next session is the belief of Coun-
ty Recorder Mosbaugh who inaugur-
ated the system. 1t has proved to be
an economy to the county and has
been copied by many other recorders
in Indiana, although it is not legalized
by any act of the legislature
Mr.. Mosbaugh, not satisfied with the
old method of recording, adopted the
loose leaf ledger which made it posi-
BILE to typewrite all records of the
county. At first there was some objec-
tions made because it was said that
the law required permanent binding
but the books which are used can be
bound permanently after they are
completed. County Attorney Robbins
passed on the system and stated that
he considered it within the confines
of the law, as did other Richmond
lawyers.
To Introduce Law.
At the last session of the legislature
bill was presented by which the sys
tenn could be used without any ques
ton as to its legality, but for some
reason it was never passed. Another
attempt will be made next month anc
it is probable it will meet the approba.
ton of the lawmakers.
In speaking of the system. Mr.. Mos
baugh says that the county saves mon
ey in the purchase of ledgers and il
time taken to prepare the records.
When Mr.. Mosbaugh entered the of
flee, of which he has been the occupan
for the past four years, he made sever
al changes and these have worked gu
SO satisfactorily that the office is nov
in the best condition it ever was. Mr.
Mosbaugh first took into considera-
ton the people whom he was servin,
and then himself. AS result he ha
accomplished much for the county. H

A Legal Opinion.

A Legal Opinion.
Roscoe Conkling came into Charles
O'Conor's ONCE one day in a nervous
state.
You seem to be very much excited.
Mr.. Conkling," said Mr.. O'Conor as
Roscoe walked up and down the room.
Yes. I'm provoked-I am provoked"
said Mr.. Conkling. II never had eli
ent dissatisfied about my fee before"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"why, defended Gibbons for arson,
you know. He was convicted, but l
did hard work for him. 1 took him to
the superior court, and he was con-
victed: then to the supreme court, and
the supreme court confirmed the judg-
ment and gave him ten years. charged
him 5000, and Gibbons is grumbling
about it; says it is too much. Now,
Mr.. O'Conor, I ask you was that too
much?'
"Well," said O'Conor very deliberate
ly, "of course you did a great deal OF
work, and $500 Is not big fee; but, tc
be frank with you, Mr.. Conkling, my
deliberate opinion is that he might
have been convicted for less money"
