Foreign Representative Carper ter A Company, 123 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Only eight days left in this mouth and the campaign for the renewal of our entire subscription list. We are! going fine and hope to succeed in. our annual task of renewing every one. Lets make this a big year. “Uncle Jack" Higgins. Indiana's oldest citizen is dead'at his home at Wabash, following a stroke of paralysis which occurred a few days ago. He was in his 107th year and was born in England in October of IMS. He had lived in Wabash more than eighty years, following a career on the seas and for some time had attracted much attention because of his activities, so unusual in one of his age. About a year ago he made a trip of'a hundred miles in an airoplane, desiring to keep up with the times and until the stroke rendered b in helpless, took daily walks and was a familiar character about the streets of his home town. In printer's parlance, "thirty' is in for Joe Uremerkanip. His last piece of copy been turned back, his last stick of type is on the galley. He was a veteran printer and a good one in his day and among the boys of the fraternity he always had warm friends. His was a pleasing personality, he was free hearted. kindly, keen and a good companion. He served his nation during the Civil War and later in the U. S. army. He traveled widely and observed much and was one of the most interesting men of this community. He will be missed by “we" of the print shops where he always called with a wise word ami a cheery smile. Jim O’Leary, the Chicago gambling king; reached the end of his mortal career recently, and after the funeral the boys began to speculate on how much money he left. He was counted a successful gambler, and the only way to measure a gambler s success is in dollars. He was known to be a free spender, but he was also known as a rich man. According to a peti- < tion filed in the Cook county probate . ourt. he finished with just $10,200, an amount which any straight citizen can accumulate in thirty years—the span ot Jim O'Leary’s gambling career if he sets his mind to tire job. As successful business men rate estates, Jim O'Leary died broke. In the liijal reckoning he lined up with hundreds of other gamblers who took a life lime to verify the old s eying that a professional gambler can not make anything for himself but a .bad reputation. Dore B. Erwin of this, city, Grand chancellor of the Indiana Knights of J-’ylhias, broadcasting from Indianapolis last evening, announced that , the campaign for funds with which to build an Indiana Pythian Home., had rem lied over sloo,Obit, with promises which will more than double that amount and that it li.nl been decided to continue the drive with the expectations that the' entire t.-m cunt will be arranged for by the lime' the annual meeting is held next autumn.
