WHEN is A JOKE.

(Terre Haute, Ind, Tribune1
Foreign letters tell of a great hoax
played upon the German troops at
Strassburg, when discharged officer
sent a message TO the commander,
signing il with the name OF the en-
peror, and ordering a grand review.
The lieutenant had a lot Of fun for
while. but he is now laughing out OF
the other side OF his muu,.. -. - -.
be put to death for his escapade.
At Meriden, Conn. young couple
fitted out a beautiful cottage, got mar
ried and went on a wedding trip. When
they returned they found the dainty
curtains ripped off the poles and dirty
burlap hung at the windows. The car
pets were torn up, beds taken apart,
all the dishes in heap and nothing
seems to have been left undone to
cause the newly married couple all the
annoyance possible. The jokers are to
be prosecuted.
In one of the larger cities a highly
respectable young doctor hung out his
shingle and was beginning TO get a few
patients when the town joker sent an
item to the newspaper telling of din
ner party given by the doctor and
naming the most notorious women of
that section of the city as his guests.
The poor German lieutenant who
may be shot had a higher sense of
humor than the scoundrels who tore
up the bridal cottage, and they are
likely to escape scot free, though they
ought to be sent TO the penitentiary
for housebreaking. The lieutenant saw
something ridiculous for his pains, and
one can discern some elements of hu
NOR in mind that would delight in
the solemn review of the pompous sol

eryday cut-up, who does brutal and
disgusting and injurious tricks in
which nobody can see the slightest ell
ement of fun-that's the gentleman

tutions where they keep other persons

FOUNTAIN CITY TO
ASK FOR LIGHTING
Agitation Started to Secure
Current For Streets
and Homes.
palladium Specially

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind, Feb. 81
The matter of electric lights for Foun-
tain City is being agitated and there
is strong sentiment in favor of their
installation. The current would be
supplied from Richmond. The plan is
to have electric street lights for the
town and to furnish current also for
private lighting. 1t is estimated that
the street lighting would cost the
town about $500 per year. The same
thing was proposed a year or so ago
but was finally dropped but with
Lynn, Centerville, New Paris and 9th
er points getting electric lights a re
vival of the proposition has come up.
Nothing definite has been done as
yet other than simply to learn the
sentiment among the business men
and others.

II is not likely that We shall have
serious war with Mexico; but there Is
no doubt that host of young men
would welcome a campaign that would
enable them TO offer their services and
so win taste OF martial glory. 1t is
the strength Of this warlike spirit. the

Heart toHeart
Talks
YOUNG AT FIFTY.
By JAMES A. EDCERTCN

Are we to get rid of the obsession
Of old age?
We have been in the habit of think
ing men or women old at fifty, and
perhaps our thinking and their own
has had much to do with their grow
Ing old before their time.
A man at fifty should be at the very
prime of his powers. He should have
twenty-five or thirty good years Of
work ahead of him.
Recently a number of eminent Ger
man scientists, artists and others gave
their opinions on this subject.
One said that man at fifty is not
even beginning to grow old.
Another stated that the man Of fifty
is of highly superior intellectual
worth. On account of his reliability.
steadiness, experience and rational
living he possesses countless physical
and moral advantages over a younger
man.
The president Of the Royal academy
asserted that artists do their best work
between the ages of forty and fifty.
With right thinking and living. sane
Huu "uOlcSo"C CACISISCs CidolASiIy
perennial interest and constant occu
patton at congenial tasks, the normal
man and woman should be useful, hap
py and hale up to eighty, ninety OF
even the century mark.
There is every reason to believe that
the future man and woman will be so
Why cannot we as individuals an
ticipate the future man and woman?
There is an adage that man is only
as old as he feels.
Why not stop thinking of old age?
Some trees live for thousands Of
years. They are not obsessed by ole
age thoughts.
Faith. hope and work constitute {
trinity that will keep us young.
Retain the forward outlook
Avoid excuses.
We can have excuses in physica
toll as we'll as in eating, drinking O
gratifying the passions. Seek the gol
den mean.
The soul and not the body is tn
senior member in the human individ
uality, and the soul is ever young.
