theHparty intact He never lost faitl
in ure eternal principles of his party
because he believed in them. He
fought as we'll in the face of almost
certain defeat as he has when victor,
was as we'll assured. He has never
asked any reward for his efforts and
does not now seek any, but his ambi-
ton and his hope is to see his party
win and the sacred principles it stands
for put into law for the betterment OF
the masses.
Despite the false charges that have
been made by his political adversaries
and believed to some extent by men
who were prejudiced against him by
reason of them, Thomas Taggart has
been the lifeblood of the Indiana De
mocracy for years that are past and
in the future, so long as his health,
his energy and his money is his, he
viii be found the mainstay, the hope,
the rs lying force of the followers Of
Jefferson and Jackson and no matter,
whether his party is successful or is
defeated, he will be found the same
active, energetic winning Democrat
that he has been in the past.
Thomas Taggart might get along
without the Democratic party, but it
will be many years before another
man will be found to take his place
in the management of party affairs
Circus Horse In sat,le.
Colonel Charles Marshall, who
was aid-de-camp to General Robert
e. Zee and who went through the
battles of the war with. his chief
told the following amusing story of
his experience with a new horse:
His old horse had been shot from
under him in the fight of the pre-
vious day, and he had taken posses
sion of an animal that seemed to
suit the work. In the battle a few
hours later he was riding across
field in which there were numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance open
ed. The guns roared, and the air
vas filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
bis four feet on one of the stumps
md was gayly dancing in circle.
In the meantime the firing was IN
:reasing, and the situation was any
hing but comfortable. But the 1
horse kept on as if he were enjoy
ng it.
'1t was not until afterward," said
Colonel Marshall, 'Sthat I found the
lorse had belonged to a CIRCUS and
had been trained to do this act
amid the firing of cannon"

"a movement was on foot for

San emissary of the Russian court
came to the young king, laid certain
proposals before him and submitted
a portrait in oils of the royal lady.
King Charles. after close scrutiny,
said:
"'This portrait fatters over
much. Tbs eyes are too large and
brilliant, the air too abundant, the
complexion 100 fowerlike and the
neck and arms too beautiful alto

Not AFRAID of a Ghost

In a village in England a man
went running into an inn at 9
o'clock at night and cried out that
there was a ghost in his back yard.
There were fourteen men in the
inn, and not one of. them dared to
go home with the man and investi-
gate. There was a person who
dared, however, and that was the
landlords daughter, a girl of four
teen. Some of the men followed
her at distance. and she went into
the yard and up to the ghost, flap
ping Its arms about, and discovered
mans white, shirt tapping on the
clothesline IN strong breeze.
That's about the way all ghosts turn
ut---Excharge.

One OF the rules OF war that is COM

or, better stir, TO kill him and thereby

aggressive leader. This is the best
explanation for the continued and ap-

They Are Stamped In the Paper By
Patterns of Wire.

FaetcfuS " WFcr
The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably a thousand years ago. Parch.
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in q liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep i'm.
preston made on the paper proved
a drawback in writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross ON
the surface of the manuscript

termed. But when wire was sub

the lines of the watermark gfew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the useful
ness of the watermark became ap-
parent by degrees. 1t was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu-
scripts. Many a bogus copy Of
rare work has been detected be-
cause the counterfeiter failed to
take into account the waterms1la
of the original.
The watermark of many q prs-
clous manuscript in the worlds mu-
seums is alike its glory and its
safeguard. And in the sphere of
bank notes and paper money every-
Wnere the watermark is most use
ful in protecting the notes from
imitation.
The term "watermark" il In r.

Here IS what tie Rev. John
Evans tells - in =, crcnce to the
way in which In III was taught
IN Wales in the r'Ihtcenth century:

day. The Welsh note was one in
dlspensabe feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was a
smooth piece Of wood, like a fat
inch rule, with the letters w. N
carved on It. When anv one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed TO
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to tingle in consequence, so
1t was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign,
of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden of Ill
