JOHN HENRY
MAKES
A HOLIDAY

| was beginning to hatch a dark
and devilish plot, and in the morning,
bright and early, had Barney Doolin
at work painting our automobile the
exact colors OF the machine owned by
the Hon. William Gray, who had the
temerity to run against Uncle Peter
for mayor.
This was Saturday, and since early
morning a score OF boys roamed all
over town, distributing 10000 cards
whereon was printed "Bunch's Advice
to Society," canard Of my own de-
vising to queer Bunch with the So
ciety push.
The cards made an awful hit. Nine
citizens out Of every ten didn't know
whether 1t was straight goods or a
josh, but after reading the card over
for the second time nearly everybody
concluded that the strenuous cam
paign had overcrowded Bunch's men
tai seating capacity and that he had
gone dippy.
When the afternoon paper, the
Ruraldene Palladium, made its appear
ance, 1t contained a paid Set-back
from Bunch on the first page, and 1t
was surely dizzy dish Of words.
Ruraldene, as everybody knows, is
an extremely popular suburban town
and is sometimes called THE Commu-
ter's Paradise" 1t consists of hust-
ling business center" and beyond this,
dotting the green in all directions, are
the villas and country homes Of the
suburbanites.
1t was through our army Of Commu-
ters that Bunch tried to reach me.
This is what he had In the after

GUILTY
Plea of DIR. Dalton Miller, When
Arraigned Before Judge
Layton Last Friday.
Slightly at Variance to His Ad-
mission Made in State
ment to Standard.

DR.. Dalton H. Miller, who was in,
dicted by the grand jury week ago fol
unlawfully selling cocaine to Doremus
Wells, was arraigned before Judge Lay.
ton last Saturday and plead not guilty.
His case was assigned for trial on Mon
day, November 25 He gave bond in
the sum of $500 for his appearance.
Miller was arrested the latter part OF
September on an affidavit of NJ. N. Ford,
of the Ohio State Pharmacy Board,
charging him with selling cocaine TO
Wells.
Following his arrest Miller admitted
to the Celina Standard that he issued a
prescription for cocaine to Wells, but
excused the act by saying Wells was a
cocaine habitue. This Wells, on the
other hand, denies. Miller at that time
further stated to the Standard that the
use of heroin and cocaine was confined
to less than half dozen young men,
who are not permanent residents of Ce-
lima. Where he got this information,
unless by practicing the same stunt with
others that he did with Wells, we can
not say, but his knowledge, if given to
the authorities, might help them in get
ting hold of the party dishing out the
drug in this city.
While this same Miller now pleads
mot guilty" to the indictment of the
grand jury; his statement, following his
arrest, places him in sort of tangle with
Himself that would suggest that he feeds
himself with some of his own dope.
Miller's alleged acts since coming to
Celina has afforded the gossips broad
field, and has not added that degree of
security that should c1othe the practice
of medicine in this or any other COM
munity.
Since his pugilistic attempt to right
himself by taking crack at one of the
reporters of The Democrat for some
thing that appeared to him as uncompli-
mentary, local officers have furnished us
with information concerning his career
at Newark, Ohio, that does not certify
that his character is one of lily white
ness, whatever may be his present status.
Miller has retained as counsel Senator
J. D. johnson and Mayor H. A. Miller,
two of the ablest lawyers of this city,
and will make fght'to clear himself of
what he has practically admitted.

No Dignity 10 Labor I'm the
Average Mind

There is no dignity to labor in the aver
age mind; it's the soft white hand we re-
spect-not the work hardened one. We
pass by the manly man and the womanly
woman il they show marks oftoil and have
no wealth; our eyes are fixed on an ideal
of ease, gained by matching our wits
against others. It's false ideal, but II
has seeped through the nation, and it is
corroding the heart aud brains of the
children, A sense of duty gives way to
expediency, and sentiment is turned to
harmonic with the clink of dollars The
girl looks forward without JOY to a labor
of love for a family to come. The boy
thinks of the I deals" he will make while
sitting before mahogany desk with an
expensive cigar in his mouth. It will
take long time and many hardships for
them to learn differently. Meantime
they will bring suffering to others as
we'll as themselves. There is no self-re-
spect equal to that which comes from
honest work; no rest like that after day
of earnest labor; no JOY surprising that
which the concientious worker takes in
the product of his hand and brain. And
honest labor never calloused the heart of
a human being.-O. p. News.

BIUD DSY. .

No, it is not too early to advise people
to begin their Christmas shopping "Do
your Christmas shopping early" has
come to be a sort of butt of editorial par
agraphs in the daily newspapers, but
there is an abundance of reason for adj
vising people seriously to begin it as
early as possible.
That is to say, those with long lists
of friends to whom they expect to
make presents should begin thus early to
take care of the matter. The most in
telligent housewives who find that they
will make number of presents keep a
list on hand the year around, and pick
up little gifts-or big ones from time
to time and check of. the list accordingly.
When Christmas arrives they have no
heavy expense to bear, nor the nerve
destroying work of running from store
to store to make selection.
There are on sale in all of the stores at
this time many articles admirably suited
for Christmas presents. Especially is
this the case since the presents given at
Christmas are taking on more and more
the form of useful commodities. For
merly Christmas gifts were in the nature
of unuseful objects, but we are coming
so utilitarian that we try to make the
present serve a useful purpose.
So it is not too early to advise the
shoppers to be on the lookout for Christ
mas presents. Bargains can be picked
up every day in the stores. Every pres
ent purchased at this time relieves the
giver of much trouble and expense at
the holiday season. Hence, instead of
the pert paragraph, with its fling about
doing your Christmas shopping early,
we advise the reader to begin it right
now and to finish it as soon as is possible.

John Wiley, the veteran shoemaker,
who has had shop upstairs over Big
Pete's shoe store the past year or more,
