Had Jono Experience,

Romance is very powerful, but some things much more common are moro so. Take for instance hunger. The other day young bride and bride groom came from little country town to Indianapolis to buy furniture for their new home. About II 80 the bridegroom departed on an errand and told his wife that he would meet her at 12 80 at a certain restaurant
 He was detained until almost one o'clock. Then he rushed into the res taurant and found his new bride very calmly eating the lunch she had or dered Amazed, he rushed to her ta- ble. "Oh, was so worried over being late," he began, "1 was so afraid you couldn't eat without me-"
 The bride looked up from her soup 'Why. l did it for g years" she re- turned, and turned to her roast pork and apple sauce.-1ndianapo News.

One of the most attrac active, and certainly very social sport, is bob sleighing. Long, low padded toboggans. seating as many as six persons are used, and under this heavy burden the bobsleigh shoots down it's course with amazing speed. As the leader sways, almost automatically the close ly crowded team bend. themselves, thus guiding the sleigh to the right or left; they apply a brake by letting themselves drop on the snow or drive to greater swiftness by bending for ward like jockeys. Strong iron spikes, which are driven by a lever into the ice, enable the leader to stop the vehicle almost instantly, but sudden application of these brakes whirls up the ice and snow in clouds, shaking and jolting the riders.
 Skiing has taken root to an extra ordinary extent in Switzerland. Even the poorest youth does not want to do without skis, though they might. only consist of a couple of crudely adjusted barrel slaves. Thanks to the ski the boys and girls living on remotely sit uated farms are now able to attend school every day; their parents are no longer isolated for the best part of the long winter months, and thanks also to these 'wooden wings" the mail and newspapers can be delivered reg ularly.
 Sport is furthermore made easier by the different mountain railways, which in winter run toboggan trains. Thus one can travel a couple of stations up ward and arrive at the starting point of mountain road without 'exertion and waste of time. Then one can de- scend to the valley on toboggan, ski or skates, or, vice-versa, go down first and return by train to winter quarters.
 Races, competitions, sleigh drives. ice carnivaIs, ski excursions and an equal variety of fascinating indoor en- tertainments transplant the happy winter visitor into totally different world where sorrow and care seem to be banished and where every human being seems to realize that the best life after all is found right next to Natures heart.

America's First Newspaper.

The first real newspaper, continu ously printed, in America was the Bos- ton News Letter, of which the initial number was published 215 years ago. A single number of journal called Publick Occurrences, Foreign and Do- mestick, had been printed little more than thirteen years before; but. like many of it's successors, it's first number was also its last. John Campbell was the entire staff of the News Letter, from managing editor to printers ''devil." The publication lasted 72 years and it's circulation remained steady at about 300 copies weekly.

HAVE RAISED
TWO MILLIONS
Campaign Fund Falls Much
Short of the Cox Charges
MOSTLY IN SMALL GIFTS
Largest Contribution Of the Whole
Campaign Was $6,12o from
the Ham lton Club.

Washington, Oct. %. Final proof of
the error OF the charges of Gov. Cox
that che Republicans were kathering a
Sl5,O00,0OO campaign fund was sub
united today in a sworn statement
that j ghtly less than one sixth OF
that amount had been collected up to
October Is, The statement covers the
period between that date and June IA
and was filed with the Clerk OF the
House Of Representatives, according
to INV.
The Statement shows that up to
October rs the National Committee
had collected a total of $2.466 019 and
had disbursed a total of $2,741 ,b03.
This shows that expenses exceeded re-
ceipts by more than a quarter Of a
mil ion dollars.
More significant, however, Of the
character OF the Republican money
gathering machine was the showing
that 34,867 persons contributed rec
ord number The names with cOntri-
buttons made a file OF paper foot
thick.
Gov Coxs charges that big intere ITS
were giving huge sums also received a
death blow in the statement that of
the thousands of contributors only
sixteen gave more than $1,000 and of
those sixteen $6,120 was the largest
contribution 1t came from the Hamil-
ton Club of Chicago
Fred w Upham, Republican treas,
who Gwore to the report, said contri-
buttons for state comm tees were
received to the amount Of Sl0l5 ,61S
and that he had transmitted them to
the state committees. Thus both the
state and national funds total only
So 46l.6 .6S9. The statement also shows
that 1898 500 was borrowed for use by
the Senatorial and Congressional
committees.
