HIS PAP HAD A PREM0NITI0N
Farmers Son Explained Why Parent
Was Not Surprised When Family
Party Arrived.

A family of eight, In large automo-
bile, stopped at a likely-looking farm
house in the northern part of the state
recently to get a drink of cold, pure
water, which is believed to Turk about
farmhouses, explains the Indianapolis
News. To his surprise and evident
qualification, the driver of the machine
found in the farmer an oldtime ac-
quaintance, and plans were made i'm
mediately to pay the farmers family
an impromptu visit. The automobile
was put away in the barn and, after
a hustle and hustle, the hard-worked
farmers wife prepared a meal ade-
quate for the sudden increase in eat
ers.
After the meal the visiting children,
in fact the entire family, made free
with the house and premises. The
head of the visiting family noticed the
farmers oldest boy hanging detected
ly about the rear of the house just be-
fore time to do the evening chores.
"Well, sonny" said the man, 81

LEN|NE'S POWER
IS WANING FAST
BoLSHEvlKI LEADER STRIVING
FRANTlCALLY TO SECURE
PEACE TERMS FROM HUNS.
Predicted by Those Who Know the
Temper of People That Should He
Succeed, a Full Feldged Civil
War Will Break Loose.

London.-Nicolai Lenine's power is
persistently reported to be waning
fast. He is still in control of affairs
at Petrograd, however, and with his
partner and foreign minister, Leon
Trotzky, is striving frantically to push
the negotiations with Germany for a
separate peace to a swift conclusion.
Should he succeed In this, full fledged
civil war would break loose in Russia,
those who know the country agree.
Trotzky, according to word from
Tetrograd Saturday, has dismissed M.
Makalakoff, Russia's ambassador t
France because the latter is partici-
patlng in the interallied conference at
Paris as an unofficial observer, on in
vitation of the powers.
The Russian charge d'affaires In
Holland, following the example set by
Ambassador Bakhmetieff In Washing
ton, has made formal protest against
the Bolsheviki rule, submitting his
opinion of 1t in strong terms to the
Dutch foreign ministry.
Siberia is reported to be preparing
to declare her independence.
