INDIANAPOLIS MAYOR
 IS STILL ON TRIAL
By Hop

Indianapolis, September 1.-Two states witnesses at the trial today of Mayor Joseph E. Bell charged with election conspiracy, told how a part of the dem- ocratic ballots cast in one precinct at the primary election of May 5, 1914 were burned without being counted. Both of the witnesses, John w. Lee and Charles H. Gibbs, negroes. were indicted in tho case and have pleaded guilty.
 Lee was an election inspector and Gibbs was an election judge. Lee said that they burned the ballots after James H. Gibson, who already has pleaded guilty to frauds, came to the polling place and took the ballots from the counters.
 Tt will take you all night to count these, let me do it. Lee testified Gib- son said. He declared Gibson put the tallies down to suit himself, then gave Lee and Gibbs the ballots to be burned.
 Lee and Gibson supported Ed Lyons, candidate for the democratic nomination for county treasurer, who also was fa- vored by Bell.

GLASS PITCHERS SHAPE MAKES
 OR MARS A SET
Short, Squat, Jug-Like Piece Out of Place in Handsome Dining
 Room

Home loving women are proud of tho appearance of their dining room. A cor ner. given over to collection of hand painted china always indicates the good taste of hostess; but nothing adds to the beauty of room more than side table with polished top prettily set with half dozen tumblers shape and design of the pitcher depends much of the beauty of the set. A squat round pitcher looks more like a jug and should be in the kitchen.
 The ideal of water sets Is exemplified
 in the set now being distributed to read CTS by The Age-Herald. The pitcher is of exquisite design, expressing the ut- most in the designers art. It is tall and shapely with delicate lines through the slender neck and the handle curves away from the body in perfect harmony with the curves of the tankard itself.
 This artistic pitcher Is accompanied by six glasses. each holding half pint. Each piece in the set glasses and pitcher, is decorated and initaled as desired by the recipient in Venetian gold. The set, and also extra sets of glasses may be &c., cured as explained in the display an- nouncements in the Water Set Coupon appearing daily in another column.

worthy gods, to passion, at the price of duty; to wealth at the cost of charac- ter, to fame at the cost of humanity.
 While the fires at such altars burn fercely and wildly, their glare strains the eyes clear vision; their smoke envelopes the soul and blinds the spirit to lfe's straight and narrow pathway.
 Also, alas! there are ''the altar fires" of fair dreams and roseate hopes, where Tin the fire we cherish our thoughts and dres ms may perish," but in spite of fears we keep the flame alight. for, by these dreams we live and fortunately by these dreams we find our sunlit way to the light of the great beyond.

Quarantincd.

In one of the little mountain towns
Of the South a chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes. especially, did not under
stand what it was all about. Across
the front of the little hotel of the vii
lage was flung banner bearing the
one word, "Chautauqua." Up to this
hotel one day drove an old negro in
one-horse wagon containing a few
vegetables, which he hoped to sell to
the proprietor, as he had done on
former occasions. But when he saw
the banner with its ominous word he
was seized with fright and would not
20 into the building. or even get out
of his wagon. When the proprietor
appeared, the old fellow inquired nerv-
ously. What disease is you-all quaran-
tined for, boss? Youth Companion.
