 dog was hit by a railroad train at the Main street crossing this noon and one of his legs broken. Tender hearted George Banks, colored, aged zs, of Whiting street, came along. Banks, to put the dog out of it's mis- cry, picked him up to throw him into the river.
 Perhaps the yellow dog divined a watery death. He turned on Banks and sank his teeth in Banks right hand and drew blood. George then dropped the dog and ran to the Elmer rency and had the wound cauterized DEMOCRATS ANNUAL

Harry Symone always does the
right thing, Annie said Dick as he
heard of his beautiful gift to Margar-
ct Anne. Were thinking of running
him for mayor next spring. Tell Tim
that it would be a good thing if he
would pass the word around among
his friends"
cts mesilf that'll do that. Mr.. Dick,
and I'll tell the women about it, too.
AV course, you won't give it away,
but down in our ward, Mr.. Dick, most
of our men vote the way their wives
want them to. Most of us know more
about what the ward boss is doing for
the ward than do our husbands. They
do be talking big about who they are
going to vote for, but notice last fall
they defeated that rascally lawyer for
the judges place, although they say
he is good Democrat and promised
everything to the gang, and by the
same token it was because of those
same promises that he was beaten,
We women have decided at our moth
ers' meetings that we'll beat up that
gang. We don't want our ward to be
run by liquor dealers and men who
own houses of ill-fame.
Last fall we commenced and we
did up that would-be Judge all right"
What do you think about giving
women the franchise, Annie?" asked
Dick.
''Well, you see, Mr.. Dick, I don't
know much about it, but I'll tell We
one thing, it 'ud be good for our ward
if the women could vote, for some of
the men still cling to that barrel
house gang, Notwithstanding all their
wives can say"

Good for Tim" 1 put in.
Dick looked up in surprise.
Are you a suffraget, Margie?"
81 am not, in thinking that the vote
will give a woman all her rights, but
l think she should have the right to
vote if she wishes. She is a citizen
and as such should participate in
forming the laws of her country"
But she can't fight"

Mercy, Annie, do you have free

Sure we do, and that's the reason
why l am so anxious for Tim to be

"And yet they say that women have
no influence in politics." murmured
Dick as Annie went out the door.

LINCOLN BEACHEY.

Lincoln Beachey has come TO no
unusual end for fiirts of his character.
This is not speaking disparagingly.
The man who firts with death takes
an awful big chance. He makes big
money. yes. The populace is willing
to pay we'll to watch the perform
ances of the daredevil. There is
something about the thrill. akin to
nervous shock, that enlivens the HUI
man system, and promotes new start.
Between Beachey's recklessness. his
love of applause; the cheers of the
multitude and his inability to resist it,
lies the conditions that brought him
TO his doom.
Beachey was seen in Elkhart last
fall. a number of South Bend peo-
pie witnessed his dare devil show.
1t wouldn't have been so very much
more nerve-racking had his machine
given out there and left him TO fall.
He started away on possible suicide
trip every time he left the ground.
He is not the first air-man TO find
that artificial birds cannot always be
trusted. Severa, have gone before
him. What happened at the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition, leaving him to
plunge from mid-air down through
forty feet OF water deep into the
mud of San Francisco bay reads as
though 1t had merely been delayed,
that this might be the time and place.
And fate, in the case of Beachey,
has done its work. 1t has called his
favorite card. 1t will not end the ex-
PLOTS of the airmen and the public
will not refuse TO look, but there is
one more lesson thrown upon the
canvas for whatsoever cares.

given free rein 10 express his views
indefinitely from his sOap-box.
Meetings Of agitators frequently re-
suit in riots, destruction of property
and loss Of life. Yet the spread Of
ideas can't be stopped by breaking up
mass meetings The viler and more
poisonous the ideas. the quicker their
contagion. The man whose mouth
has been stopped takes his black
words TO the little printer in some OBJ
scure basement. and soon his foul
story is passing from hand 10 hand.
If you want an explosion, the way to
get it is TO have a man sit on the
safety valve Allow it a little vent
and the room may fill disagreeably
with steam, but the boiler is safe.
Normal American life turns out few
anarchists. 1t is the newly arrived
alien whose mind was warped and
twisted by the tyrannies and con-
straints of aristocratic countries
whose normal pOise gives way. often
il must be the reaction from too glow
ing hopes of America He comes ex-
pecting TO find a Canaan of milk and
honey. where work is easy, money
free, and justice ideal. He finds the
same old evils of human nature to
some extent When the dream fades,
something goes wrong in his head.
Talk is cheap. IL often does harm,
hut il is an outlet for dangerous emo
tions. The talker gets lots of salts
faction from hearing himself crate.
which may compensate him for some
disappointing Where a direct at
tempt at crime is found, as appears
TO have been the case in New York,
the guilty parties should be sternly
punished. But il is usually wise for
the police not TO NEEDLE too much
with mere street corner talk.
1t more than occasionally makes
bad matters worse.
