Reports to Bradstreet's for tho month
of October show n marked Improvement
in amount Of business on hand among
manufacturing interests over what they
had u year ago Labor Is better employed
and more rush orders are received. The
necessity Is again arising of notifying
customers Of the imposslbilitv of lmmedl-
ate delivery but a promise to fill at some
future date. This is noticeable among
machine manufacturing interests wh"rA
in some cases output has been sold up
into May of next year while o-hcrs report
they have all they can pos;"'. u our
ing remainder of the year This indus
try probably is most favored of the
States manufa curing interests although
there is considerable activity among or
gan manufacturing plants. The first au-
tomoblc plant of any size to locate in
this State has commenced the work Of
building a plant and announced same will
be completed the last of this year. Auto
mobile business has benefited more than
one manufacturing center. one machine
shop states it owes its present large
amount Of orders purely to automobile
trade. WOODEN mills in the State have
shown sn increased activity in market
and while early part Of the month new
orders were coming in slowly past week

uneven for the month with tendency to-
ward slowness which mas resulted in more
pressure being brought TO bear to keep
them up. The months failure reports

THE SANDMAN.

o bark, The sandmans soming!
DO you not hear his tread?
Hes coming up the stairway;
It's time you were abcd.
You say you are not sleepy?
Look, There the sandman stands,
And laughs at all such speeches.
He shakes from out his hands.
The grains Of sand so precious
Right into Willie's eyes,
And sets the boy a-nodding.
Then suddenly he spies
Toms look OF kind defiance;
He gives a hearty throw;
The sand falls fast and heavy,
And down his lashes so!
He drops the sand-grains lightly
on little Amy's head.
Until she sighs' I'm sleepy;
guess III go to bed
They say good night demurely;
The sandman. wild with elee,
I.eads of as willing captives
The merry children three.
And sees them safe in Drenmland;
Then soft away does creep
To conquer other children
The sandman we call Sleep

THE NEW GIRL.

Since we've been keeping house. we've had
All sorts Of servant maids.
And some were really not so bad.
Though most of them were fades"
Some couldn't sweep, some couldn't cook.
Some wouldn't COOK who could.
And some Of them by stealth forsook
Our quiet neighborhood
And left us mutely to deplore,
When they had taken wings.
More holes In our depleted store
OF silverware and things.
Yet we were never hard to please.
And would, I'm free to say
Have gladly kept the worst OF these.
hut none OF them would stay.
But now, mt last, my wife and I,
Who couldn't kept n girl
Have got perfect treasure, My!
She's just gem-a pearl,
She doesn't storm OF sulk or swear,
Or keep us on tho rack
And wages? Pshaw! She doesn't care;
She never answers back
Nor thinks to say an ugly word
or even wear frown,
Our greatest JOY in life occurred
When she dropped into town,
She frightened all our hopes and aims
When sho arrived to-day
She weighs twelve pounds the doctor
claims,
And she Is here to stay.

ONE HE COULDN'T ANSWER.

There are some legal questions that a
witness cannot answer by simple yes or
no. and a browbeating lawyer will some
times take advantage Of this fact. One OF
this class was once Demanding that 4
witness answer n certain question either
in the negative or affirmative.
II cannot do IT," said the witness
There are some questions that cannot he
answered by yes or a no. as any one
knows"
Il defy you to give an example to the
court" Numbered the lawyer
The retort came in flash. Are you
still beating your wife,

face and he sat down.-Ladies' Home

was very interesting and much appre-

dance. He presented the idea that II
had been pre-ordained that the land
bordering on Lake Michigan should be
inhabited by millions OF people and be-
come a great Industrial center because
of this great body of fresh water which
was placed here for their use. He con-
tented that the duty of keeping this
body of water pure should be vested
in some power Independent Of our city
and that the legislature should take
the matter in hand and place the duty
upon the state board of health with
full authority to maintain the waters
purity and that our city should at once
take proceedings to enjoin its continu-
alton.

MEMORY IS BLANK
FOR SEVEN MONTHS
Oily ofTrafalgar Is Found at the Mel
son Shelter House in Indianapolis
Is Identified and Breaks Into Tears
When His Wife and Children Are
Mentioned to Him.

Readers of THE TIMES remember the
pathetic plea OF Mrs. Eugene Dilley of
Trafalgar, Ind, in which the woman ap-
pealed to the public for help in find
ing her husband, who had been strange
ly absent from his home since last
July.
The faithful wife's persistent efforts
to find her husband have been re-
warded at last, and, according to re-
ports from Indianapolis, they are now
reunited.
Among the sleeping guests at the
Nelson shelter-house Thursday night
was found Eugene Dilley of Trafalgar,
for whom the police of many cities
have been searching for several months.
Dilley had been working on the razing
of the buildings of the city hall site
and on the new shelter-house building
for the last two months under his own
name, says The Star.
Separated Last July.
Dilley and his wife have been sepa-
rated since last July. Since that time,
until he came to Indianapolis. DiIley
has wandered over the country, his
mind a blank so far as the past is
concerned.
The search for DilIey has continued
since he disappeared from his home
near Trafalgar last summer after he
had been injured by a brick falling
on his head. The search was made
with unusual vigor because of a re-
ward of $50. offered by Mrs. Dilley.
Nelson received letter and photo
graph of Dilley from Mrs. Dilley. who
asked him to aid in the search. Mr..
Nelson did not pay much attention to
the picture until Thursday night, when
/ he happened to run across 1t.
| DiIIey Identified.
Just take that and see If you have
such man here" he said to one OF
the employees at the shelter-house.
1--WE have him." replied the man. He
has been here for two months and
has been registered under the name OF
Eugene Dilley."
Mr.. Nelson sent for Dil1ey and tried
to find something of his past history.
Have you wife?" Dilley was ask
ed.
The man looked surprised and trou-
bled, as he answered.
II don't know; I can't remember
replied Dilley slowly. Il believe I had
| a wife once.
Haven't you any childreng" con.
tinued Mr.. Nelson.
st can't remember that" answered
Diuey, hesitating. Then tears filled
his eyes as memories seemed to come
rushing back to him and he almos
shouted:
"Yes-yes; I think I had six little
ones-if they are not all dead now"
