He BLAZED NEWSPAPER TRAIL
Young Ohio Printer Established In.
dianapoIis' First News Dissemina-
tor in 1922, in Log Cabin.

The first newspaper published in
Indianapolis was the indianapolis Ga
zette, started in January, 1922, by Ma
thaniel Bolton, young printer who
came from Ohio. He was born at
Chillicothe, once an Indian town, and
later for few years the capital of
Ohio. He learned the printers trade
there and moved to Indianapolis a
year after the capital was located
there. In a reminiscent address many
years later he said:
1.-THE Gazette was established in q
buckeye log cabin of but one room,
part of which was occupied for fam
lily residence. 1t was printed on new
type. The ink was put on with balls
made of dressed deer skin stuffed with
wool. The balls, when out of use
were kept soft by the application OF
raccoon oil. There was no post office
nearer than Connersville, distance OF
60 miles; but a private mail was es
tablished and person employed to &C
to COnnerSville every four weeks tt
bring the letters and newspapers. II
February, 1923, the presidents mes
sage, delivered in December, 1922
came to hand and was published il
the two or three succeeding numbers
Of the Gazette. During the year 182:

cent address he says:

ceeded with the first United State
mail north of Indianapolis to the the
recently deserted village of Anderson

The remnermentaI Artist.

The Art World Magazine is willing
to admit that the public taste and
preferences in art is not to be despised,
and it thinks artists should consider
those preferences. 1t says:
"An artist only hOnors himself when
he never loses for one moment the
thought of pleasing that great world
public. He should seek forever to
captivate it, not merely by pleasing it,
but by pleasing it so much that it will
be delighted to take off his hat to him,
thank the giver of all good things for
having created him, and honor itself
by mailing his name high up in the
temple of fame. Thus he will win g
niche in the heart of mankind, which
means the immortal love of the race.
The truly wise and great
artist digs down deep into the heart
and soul of man, there to sense if he
can what the race is feeling, thinking
| and longing to have expressed fol
itself-in the hope of being enraptured
by the nobility of the forms in which
the artist expresses the things which
he finds there"

with both eyes, and he showed King

Buttons a By-Product of Beer.

The spent yeast which collects in
brewerfes and distilleries is put
through a process which turns it out in
the form of buttons, door-bell plates
and knife handles. Formerly this left
over material was considered to be a
bothersome waste; now it is utilized,
every bit of it. AS it is gathered from
the vats the yeast is of dirty, gray
brown color. The first operation is to
dive it and then to work it over until it
assumes the form of powder and can
be hot-pressed into any form. In this
stage it is called "ernolith." 1t may be
sawed, scraped, filed, drilled, engraved,
turned to an edge and polished.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

GOLD PARIS" AGE BELIEVED
Said to Have Lived to Be 1852 Years
OId-Lived Under Reigns of
Ten Princes.

"Old Parr" was an EngliShman
whose proper name was Thomas Parr
and who broke the modern record by
living to the ripe old age of one hun
dred and fifty-two years, an exchange
says. The British cyclopedia gives
this account of him:
Thomas Parr (14S3-1635), English
centenarian, known as old Parr, is re-
puted to have been born in 1883 at
Wilmington, Shropshire, the son of a
farmer. In 1900 he is said to have left
his home and entered domestic serv-
ice and in 1918 to have returned to
Wilmington to occupy the small hold
ing he then inherited on the death OF
his father. In 1868, at the age of eigh-
ty, he married his first wife, by whom
he had a son and daughter, both of
whom died in infancy. At the age Of
one hundred and twenty-five, his first
wife having died, he married again.
| His vigor seems to have been unim-
| paired, and when one hundred and
| thirty years old he is said to have
| thrashed corn. In 1886 his fame
reached the ears of Thomas Howard,
earl of Arundel, who resolved to ex-
hibit him at court, and had him con-
veyed to London in a specially con-
structed litter. Here he was presented
to King Charles I, but the change OF
| air and diet soon affected him and the
old man died at Lord Arundels house
in London on the 14th of November,
1886. He was buried in the south
transept of Westminster abbey, where
the inscription over his grave reads
'Tho. Parr, of ye county of Salopp.
Born in ammo 1888. He lived in ye
reigns of ten princes, viz: King Ed
ward 4, King Edward 5, King Richard
8, King Henry Z, King Henry 8, King
Edward 6, Queen Mary, Queen Eliza
beth, King James and King Charles
aged 152 years, and was buried here
November 5, 1885,"
That the son of a small farmer who
had started in life as a hired man (the
British cyclopedia says he left home
and entered domestic service), shoulC
have been buried in Westminster alb
bey, shows that the story Of his grea
age was believed.

CHAPTER XIV.

"Kurram Khan!" the lashless mullah
howled, like a lone wolf in the moon
light, and King stood up. In that grim
minute he managed to seem about as
much at ease as a native hakim ought
to feel at such an initiation.
"Come forward ~ the mullah howled.
and he obeyed, treading gingerly be-
tween men who were at no pains to let
him by, and silently blessing them, be-
cause he was not really in any hurry
at all. Yasmini looked lovely from a
distance, and life was sweet.
"Who are his witnesses?"
"I!" shouted Ismail, jumping up.
"I!" cracked the roof. T! Il" So
that for a second King almost believed
he had crowd of men to swear for
him and did not hear Darya Khan at
oil, who rose from place not very far
behind where he had sat.
! Ismail followed him in hurry, like
man wading river with loose
clothes gathered in one arm and the
other arm ready in case of falling.
Darya Khan did not go so fast. AS he
forced his way forward a man passed
him up the wooden box that King had
used to stand on he seized it in both
hands with grin and jest and went
to stand behind King and Ismail, in
line with the lashless mullah, facing
Yasmini. Yasmini smiled at them all
as if they were actors in her comedy,
and she well pleased with them.

"Look We and look well, for this is to

King felt ten thousand eyes burn
holes in his back, but the one pair OF
eyes that Knocked him from the bridge

The No-Breakfast Plan.

The Notwithstanding habit often ere
ates an abnormal Stomachlc condition,
says Physical Culture Magazine. If
one is in perfect health, and arises
with a keen appetite for breakfast,
there will be no occasion for emitting
the meal. There are, however, but few
in perfect health, and the omission of
breakfast gives the stomach a chance
to adjust itself. 1t has an opportunity
to develop a keen appetite for the par
ticular character of nourishment most
needed by the body at that time. The
no-breakfast plan is a splendid means
of properly adjusting ones appetite,
both as to quantity and character of
food

head thrown back and bosom swelling
| like d birds.
The East would ever rather draw its
own conclusions from hint let fall
than he puzzled by what the West be-
lieves are facts. And parallels are not
good evidence in courts of law, which

took the form of a parable.
And to say that she took hold of
them and played rhapsodies of her
own making on their heartstrings would
be to undervalue what she did, They

SILAGE WILL DECAY AT TOP
Much OF Loss May Be Prevented by
Beginning to Feed as Soon as
lilo Is Filled.

More or less silage will decay at the
top unless the silo is sealed over or
unless feeding is begun soon after
filing To prevent much of this loss,
some farmers seal the silo with three
or four loads of green corn from which
the ears have been removed, some use
other sorts of heavy green crops, while
others use sawdust satisfactorily. In
every case it is advisable to soak this
covering thoroughly with water and
tramp it regularly for several days
after it has been placed in the silo.
