For while the rebel throws off his
obligations to the Nation, pulls
down its flag, and detiantly
tramples it in the dust, the other
traitoriously discounts it's author
ity and insidiously brings.tho in
situations over which it flows into
contempt while too cowardly to
step out into the open and fight
for his convictions and take
chances of dying as a result.
The test of good citizenship is in
standing for the sacredness of
authority and the supremacy of
the law. Good or bad, tits the law
and it is a monstrous doctrine
that a defeated minority has the
right to inveigh against law and
secretly defy it's authority. The
doctrine that an Objectionable
statute may be violated with i'm
punity as a means to it's repeal
would soon destroy our ciyiliza-
ton. admit that it is q mistake
when a statute has accomplished
its purpose or has proved inef-
fective, to allow it to remain on
the statute books merely as a
water mark showing the rise OF
civilization. 1t were better, when
a statute has accomplished its end,
to repeal it and leave on our statute
books only such laws as are of
present use. But the baneful
doctrine that a law should be re-
pealed because of the difficulty of
enforcing it or because 1t does not
absolutely prevent the crime or
misdemeanor against which it is
aimed, would repeal every penal
statute and ordinance in the Re-
public. The reason for the en-
actment of a prohibitory law was
the fact that the people were doing
a forbidden thing and thus iniur-
ing society. Therefore, the law
forbad it. Now just as long as
people continue to do that thing,
itwould be unsafe for the Legis-
~lature to repeal the law. II our
liquor friends are so anxious to
get rid of p~rohibitory and regu-
latory legislation now on the
statute books Of Indiana their
wisest and most direct means Of
accomplishing that end, would be
to implicitly obey the law. When
they cease to do the wrong Of
selling strong drink for beverage
purposes to the people Of this
state, then the people Of the state
can safely repeal these laws. But
until they do, they may rest as
sured that every patriot in Indians,

Tho Monkey and the Pie.

An Indian fakir had a monkey that
he had brought up from babyhood,
says IN. A. p" The pair were fast
friends, the monkey being a faithful
attendant on his master. and as
good as q watch dog. One day the
fakir made a pie for dinner, and left
it to cook on a charcoal fire while he
went for a walk. AS the cooking pro-
ceeded the savory smell was too much
for the monkey. 1t raised the crust
and tasted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty, 1t ate more and more
until nothing but the crust remained.
Then 1t remembered its master. who
would shortly return hungry and
ready to enjoy his meal. What was
to be done? The sharp eyes OF the
monkey detected some crows not far
away, so without loss of time 1t lay
down on the ground as II dead. BY
and by a crow came along and
pecked at the monkey. which seized
the bird in a twinkling. strangled 1t,
stripped off the feathers, placed 1t In
pieces In the dish. covered 1t over
with the crust, and then contentedly
awaited the return of the fakir, to
whom the whole incident was related
by an eyewitness.-Illustrated Sunday
Magazine.

SOME MARTYRS TO AVIATION
Many Attempts to Navigate the Air
Are Recorded in Ancient
Chronicles.

Tradition asserts, according to a
writer in the Scientific American, that
the first to sacrifice himself to the
problem of flying was Wang Tu. a
Chinese mandarin of about the year
1000 B. c., who, having constructed
pair of large parallel and horizontal
kites, seated himself in a chair fixed
between them while AZ attendants
each with candle ignited Al rockets
placed beneath the apparatus. but the
rocket under the chair exploded. burnt
the mandarin and so angered the en-
peror that he ordered a severe pad
ding for Wang.
Then there is left in stone a par
tial account OF experiments by Man.
u. an Assyrian priest. who attempted
TO fly from the temple OF Baal. The
next victims of aviation were certain
criminals, whose arms and legs the
ancient Leucadians annually fitted
with wings OF various design and who
we're then hurled from Rock of Sap
pho's Leap" a boat awaiting them in
the sea below to give them liberty
should they succeed in solving the
problem.
The first fatality of the kind in the
present era seems to have been a
Roman who during the reign of Nero
attempted to fly high in the air over
the eternal city with a pair OF wings
at Perouse, fell upon the top of St.
Mary's church and broke his leg.
The prior of Tongland in 1910, be-
fore the court of Stirling, donned
feathered wings. and. leaping from a
tower of the castle. fell into a heap
OF refuse.
Allard. a tight-rope performer. was
crippled by fall while trying to fly
before Louis the Grand at Paris about
1850.

Improved interior photographs.

With the assistance of Messrs. H.
dOsmont and Montpillard, Mr.. Pavie.
a French photographer. has succeeded
in obtaining interior photographs in
the colors of nature by the use OF mag
nesium light. The exposures are, OF
course. instantaneous, and the success
Of the experiments is based upon the
employment of a special powder COM
posed Of magnesium and phosphorus,
which burns with great rapidity. and
specially colored screens. The photo
graphs of moving objects are said to
be surprisingly perfect in all their
colors. The operation Is performed AZ
in ordinary photography with magne-
stun light. That is to say. the lights
in the room are left burning when the
exposure Is made.

my little boy had an awful rash all

MADE BUFFALO BILLS SHOES. Decatur CObbier Was Chum Of Great

PlainsMan.
 Decatur. Oct. 17.--(Special.)- )--On a side street in New Decatur is a small room in which @ German shoemaker, Kasper First. pegs shoes from day to day as he tells his customers about the times when he made boots at Carson City for Buffalo Bill and his men. That was in the early days of the Golden West, when Indians were plentiful and the buffalo roamed the prairies in droves.
 Mir. First and Buffalo Bill were friends and acquaintances in those days and often is the time they have eaten barbecued buffalo meat together and sat around the camp fire while Buffalo Bill related stories of his experiences on the Western plains. Mir. First has a store of stories that he takes delight In relating to his friends about those days and times spent in the West. and in his broken German dialect he will sit and tell how he made boots for Buff falo Bill. as he pegs away on pair of shoes.
 Buffalo Bill was in New Decatur the other day with his Wild West show and Mfr. First was one of the first who met the great plainsman and took him by the hand and together they sat and talked of the times they had together out West In the years that have passed away,

A Glove Secret.

"The only trouble about these wash
gloves" said the lady, sis that they
dry, after washing, so very stiff and
boardlike" The salesman wrapped the
soft, pale yellow gloves in tissue paper.
THAT is easily remedied,' he said. "I'll
tell you how to wash the gloves so
that they will dry soft and pliable the
same as new. After you have rinsed
them quite clean dip them in a final
bath of fresh water and rub plenty of
soap into them, drying them without
rinsing this last soap out The soap
left in the gloves makes them wonder
fully soft-they don't then need, after
drying, to be rubbed soft with ten or
fifteen minutes hard labor. This soap
secret being used, wash gloves are
quite perfect. 1t is no wonder they
are completely superseding the expen-
sive kid gloves, for they are half as
cheap again and their washing is so
easy-do them at bedtime toss them on
