the day was but a small obstacle in

How He Felt About Il.

There was one man in Indianapolis
this week, who could appreciate the
position of the man in the musical
comedy, "A Modern Eve" who is the
hen-pecked husband of a suffragette.
Whether the understanding one is a
resident of the city or whether he is
one of the state fair visitors remains
"a mystery, but he is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted in
the play. He was a diminutive per
Isonage with long, flowing whiskers
and a very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned sufficient
courage to speak of the matter. His
narrative Of his troubles ended with
the lines, Now, / am tired of this, I
am going to assert myself"
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul-
ly," he.cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines

Despite the fact thot politics
presumed to play no part in de-
termining the identity OF fourth

notable fact that all OF them are
now republicans, and if President
Tafts order Is permitted to stand,
there will be in every village in
the country one federal office hold
er around whom the standpat, con-
servative republican element may
gather.
This may prove an important
factor in holding the old republl

four years. Fifty thousand repub-
lican postmasters distributed over
the entire United States make n
foundation for the party of Presl-

Renewing Compilations
by Absorption

II your complexion is married
with blotches, sallowness or
freckles, it's useless to putter
with powders and paints. jellies,
creams and things. Unless you
have some ability as an artist
you'll mar your appearance still
more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself,
with all it's offensive marks. Just
get an ounce of pure mercoliZed
wax at the druggists and use at
night same as cold cream. Re
move next morning with water
and soap. The mercolized
wax absorbs the half-dead scarf
skin in flaky particles, so gradu-
ally no one guesses you're treat
ing your faee-unless it be by the
result, which is truly wonderful.
There's nothing like it for re-
storing a natural, healthy and
beautiful complexion.-Advt.

Mayor Seymour found the state
