OLD MARSHALL HOMESTEAD
House In North Manchester, Ind,
Where Democratic Candidate for
Vice-Presldent Was Born.

North Manchester, Ind--ThOVgh 1t
has withstOod the storms of more than
sixty years, and two bouts with the
house movers, the little house in
which Thomas R. Marshall, governor
OF Indiana, and Democratic candidate
for vice-president, was born, stands to
day well to the north end OF Walnut
street, in North Manchester, Indiana,
in better state Of preservation than
many houses Of half its age and ex-
perience.
In 1854 the house stood on the lot
fronting on Main street, that is now
occupied by the Lawrence National
bank, and was occupied by DR.. Daniel
Marshall, who, besides doctoring the
sick, was also a merchant of consid-
cradle importance, being connected

Gordon favored his host with an
elaborate scrutiny that included the
crown Of his head and swept down to
his toes, and shook his own head
gravely.
Ell wasn't positive that you dyed
your hair, Dick, should say mo- at
once. But being aware that beneath
your carefully polished raven locks
there turks many a white and veneer
able hair, 1 will say that I believe
you're old enough to have an entire
orphan asylum In charge"

IT'S his daughter. He did a favor
for me once upon a time, and 1 told
him to command me when he needed
service in return. He's written me
letter appointing me guardian of his
daughter, Elizabeth, and 1t was for
warded to me after his death. Her
mother died long ago-nine years, the
letter states. The girl arrived in New
York this afternoon in care of a gov

read the feebly scratched lines with

son to believe Miles Weldon was such
a careless fellow it would be just like
him to forget the age of his only
child
"a few years more won't make
much difference" he was thinking
when the door opened and a girl en-
tered.
A girl Of nineteen she was, with
small oval face framed in misty
black hair; pair Of hazel eyes and q
scarlet mouth that smiled at him with
charming shyness.
Elizabeth, this is your guardian,
Mr.. Betting" said Mrs. Armstrong de-
murely.
As Dick bent low over the girls
slender hand he recovered his equa-
nimity.

GIRL he said with his charming smile.
I'm afraid had relegated you to the
schoolroom for ten long years"
Elizabeth laughed softly. How
dreadful when I have just hidden
good-by to it forever!"
Il even contemplated selecting your
Clothes" went on Dick gravely.
Horrors! You will forgive me,
too; but thought you would prove to
be Quite-an old gentleman" blushed
Elizabeth, thereby increasing her love
Illness. You see, my fathers hair was
white-and I thought you were his
friend-and were Of the same age"
Your father was fifteen years old
er than l." explained Dick, rather
hastily. He did not want this beauti-
full ward Of his to look upon him as
an old man. He stole shy, anxious
glance into an opposite mirror to re-
assure himself as to his appearance
and therein caught the amused glance
Of Mrs. Armstrong.
"Oh, you are years younger than
my father" said Elizabeth, kindly.
Thanks" murmured Dick, and then
producing the letter he had received
from her father he gave it to her.
She read it with tender eyes filled
with tears. "a mistake has been
made" she said as she gave 1t back to
him. 'tThis is a letter my father must
have written ten years ago, when he
suffered a bad attack of heart disease
and believed himself to be dying.
There is a later letter written during
his last illness. In the confusion fol-
lowing his death the lawyer, Mr.. Felt
some, must have forwarded you the
wrong letter He had charge Of the
papers"
81 am glad" said Dick heartily, and
then because he could not explain to
them how glad he was he made ar
engagements for them to dine with him
that evening and hurried away.
Gordon joined them at dinner, and
his amazement at sight Of Dicks
charge was delightful to witness. To
Dicks disgust the fat, good-natured
clubman appeared more impressed
with the charms of Mrs. Armstrong
than with those Of the beautiful girl.
How is your orphap?" he asked
Dick one day.
81 hope she is happy" returned
Dick with tender smile, for she has
just promised to marry me-"
"Glorious!" cried Gordon, with a
squeeze Of his big hand. I'VE will
make it a double wedding!"

Mafrero Rally
at White Rose:

Last Tuesday night White
Rose was alive once more. A
grand rally had been announced
by the supporters of Hon.. l.: Fl.
Marrero, Jr.
The meeting was. opened at
7.30 o'clock by Capt. Guy r.
Chauvin, who introduced the
speakers.
Mr.. Conrad Buchler, of Jeffer-
son parish, was thefirst speaker.
He spoke of Mr.. Marrero's record
in the Legislature and as District
Attorney. Several other speakers
were heard after which a fine
musical selection was rendered
by the Fishers Brass band.
Mr.. Marrero spoke at some
length. When he arose to ad-
dress the audience, cheers after
cheers greeted him before he
was able to make himself heard.
He did not beg, but asked his
listeners for their support. Many
times he was interrupted by
applause and no harsh words
were used. The Middleton sup
porters were CONSPICUOUS by their
absence.
After the meeting, all were
treated to sandwiches and lem
onade. Dancing followed in
which many couples took part.

Political Campaign Ends.

The most vigorous and aggres-
sive political campaign ever
waged in this parish will reach a
crisis on Tuesday next, when, by
their votes the electors will de-
termine their choice. We have
this year a superabundance of
elections: the first State Primary
on January %, the Second prim-
ary on February 27 and the
general State election in April.
Tuesdays election will be the
fourth and there still remains the
general election, presidential and
congressional, Of November 5.
Should an absolute majority
be not received in Tuesdays
primary, the race will have to be
run over, where more than two
candidates vie for the same Of
flee. The campaign for District
Attorney of this the 28th Judi
cial District has been a relentless
one and a house-to-house canvass
was made by both candidates,
throughout the parishes of JEFF
ferson, st. Charles and st. John
the Baptist.
The voters have met the cam
didates, heard their appeals for
preference and have now made
up their minds and will vote
accordingly.

Results Of Red Men Fair.

The Fair given last Saturday and
Sunday. for the benefit of Mes
'chacebe Tribe No. SO, /. O. r. NJ,
while in one way a success, did
not meet with the expectations OF
its.members. The rains of Satur-
day were undoubtedly the cause
of the slim attendance, though a
larger crowd than expected under
such circumstances, was present.
At 10 o'clock Sunday night the
people were entertained by Hon.
Mr.. F. A. Middleton, Candidate
for District Attorney and Hon.
Paul Berthelot, our Sheriff. Both
gavea short talk. The other Candi-
dates for various Offices who had
also been invited, were unable to
attend owing to the bad weather.
The gross receipts amounted to
$1,000. co., It is yet impossible to
|
estimate the net profit as very
few bills have been turned in. The
members Of the Tribe extend their
most heartfelt thanks to all who
fgave their assistance, particularly
to the kind ladies who so willingly
braved the inclement weather to
help in the good cause.
A special meeting of the Tribe
was held on last Monday and it
was decided to continue the Fair
on Saturday Sept. 7th.. and Sun
day Sept. 8th., in order to dis
pose Of what is left from the last
Fair, and in that way net a good
profit to help swell the sick fund
which has been heavily drained in
the past year. The public is earn
estly requested to help in this
good cause.

the Judgeship of the 18th Judicial

and appealing.
Known most favorably in his
home parish, we predict for Mr..

voters Of st. Charles and Jeffer-

with the manner in which he
has conducted his campaign
Reports received from these par

sentiment toward reform, and a
mighty effort is being made in
this direction.
The opportunity presents itself
and no voter could do better than
to honor Judge Chenet with his

ability and integrity of the man.
When invested with the ermine,
none will regret having partici-
pated ih his elevation to this

candidate for Congressman from
this, the Second District of the

sugar situation than has Mr..

A Communicative.

Edgard, La, Aug. q, 1912
To the Editor of the Meschacebe:
/ noticed in the New Orleans
papers that, at a big rally given at
White Rose, in behalf of Mr..
Marrero's candidacy, my name
was mentioned as chairman. l am
friendly to Mr.. Marrero, but /
cannot vote for him being a Mid
dleton partisan. Ireally regretted
that was obliged not to open the
fine Ball with one of st. Johns
fair bellies.
Yours truly,
(signed) Edouard Roussel.
