Visits Rensselaer for First Time Since He Was a Boy.

Hiram A. Thompson, of Tulsa, Okla., was a Rensselaer visitor Sunday and Monday, being the guest of his sister, Mrs. C. W. Duvall and family and of his cousin, Mrs. E. P. Honan. Mr. Thompson was born in Rensselaer 44 years ago and when 5 years of age went west with his parents. He had had not seen his sister, Mrs. Duvall, since they visited the family in the west in 1879. Mr. Thompson was until recently never been here since that time and the chief of police of Tulsa, Okla., and is now engaged in private detective work and his trip to Chicago was on business which he expected to require his presence in Chicago all this week and possibly take him on to Washington, D. C. He is a fine looking, pleasant and Interesting gentleman. The National Mercantile Association, of which Harry Collins is the manager, made two collections recently that surprised the manager. Among accounts received were two from a neighboring town and the owner of them said he was so anxious to make the collections and at the same time so certain that they could not be collected that he would willingly pay 75 per cent to get them settled and off the books. Harry thought the per cent worth a trial and he wrote a letter to each of the debtors in his most persuasive tone. Two days later when he opened the morning mail he found answers from each and much to his surprise each letter contained settlement in full of the claims. As the company usually charges only 20 per cent it was a nice pick up. Accidents will happen, but the bestregulated families keep Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil for such emergencies. It subdues the pain and heals the hurts.

Couple Married in Rensselaer Denied It to Friends and Hammond Times Prints Good Story. The marriage in Rensselaer last Tuesday, of Henry Paul Sartorious and Miss Hazel E. Webb, of Hammond, was the subject of an interesting newspaper article published in the Hammond Times last Thursday. The Times reporter saw the article in the Evening Republican and called the principals to have it verified. Much to his surprise they both denied that they had been married, and claimed that they were the victims of a joke, which some of their friends had worked on them. But the Times reporter was not to be put off and he called Rensselaer people by telephone to verify the story. The Times then printed the following article: Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. Sartorious (nee Miss Hazel Webb), a well known couple of this city, gave their friends the slip this week and were married in Rensselaer by a justice of the peace on Tuesday. There is a good deal of mystery attached to the culmination of the romance, for both bride and groom deny absolutely and unequivocally that they were married. They brand the story as a lie, as also do some of their relatives. Yet the preponderance of the evidence is indisputable that they were legally wedded. Mr. Sartorious denounced the story as a fabrication and Mrs. Sartorious declared with emphasis that she was not married. However, the interviews with the principals speak for themselves, and the reader is left to draw his own conclusion. (By Henry P, Sartorious.) “The whole matter is a joke—just a few friends had it published—there is absolutely no truth in the statement at all. I was not married, ft the judge says I was married, he tells an untruth.” Mr. Sartorious was interviewed at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Sartorious, 1938 Mohawk street, Chicago. (By Mrs. H. P. Sartorious.) “We were not married. When we get ready to give the news, we will make a formal announcement. There must be somebody else of the same name. It is not true that I am married, and I have been very much annoyed. I am going to Rensselaer on Saturday to find out about it, If they say I am married, it is a lie.” Mrs. Sartorious was interviewed at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Webb, 138 Carroll street, Hammond. (Squire Schuyler Irwin, Justice of the Peace.) “Certainly, I married Henry P. Sartorious and Miss Hazel Webb, of Hammond. The ceremony took place on Tuesday afternoon. Why should I deny it? I wasn’t asked to keep it quiet.” Squire Irwin was interviewed in his office in Rensselaer. (By C. C. Warner, County Clerk of Jasper County.) “Mr. Sartorious and Miss Hazel Webb got a license in my office on Tuesday and were married by Squire Irwin right here. I don’t know why they should deny it, for I don’t want to be called a long-distance liar.” Mr. Warner was interviewed in -the county clerk’s office in Rensselaer this afternoon. (By Miss Vera Parker, Deputy County Clerk of Jasper County.) “Yes, I gave Mr. Sartorious, who was short, rather dark and used evidently to outdoor life, a license to wed Miss Webb, blue eyes and fair hair, on Tuesday afternoon. There was no joke about it. They were married all right. I am the deputy county clerk of Jasper county.” Miss Parker was interviewed in the county clerk’s office at the Rensselaer court house. (George Healey, Editor Rensselaer Be. pnllcan.) "Why, there can be no doubt about it at all. Of course the couple were married. I obtained the information in the regular channels. Squire Irwin, who performed the ceremony, told me about it, and the license return is on record at the court house. No one asked me to publish the story.” The newspaper editor was interviewed in the Republican office in Rensselaer this afternoon. AM of which goes to show that the

HAMMOND MARRIAGE DENIED BY PRINCIPALS.

Boy’s Essay on “Ambish” Is Filled With Truth.

Ambision, or “ambish,” as it is called for short, is the longing to get up and do something. The reason Napolian Booapart succeeded in changing map of Urope was because he was endowed with the necessary ambish. Lack of ambish is what makes the world go to sleep twelve hours out of the twenty-four. Ambish is the thing that makes a boy fill the woodbox and kick the nabor’s cat. Ambish, not love, as some idjits claim, is what makes the world go round. When a young man tackles Wall street his ambish is all right, but he’s merely got a bum steer. If he would apply that ambish to seeing how much onest labor he could do in a day he would in time get there with the goods. Pa says, “You want to have a ambision in life.” This was before I knew what the word ment. What is that? I asked him. Is it anything like the affinity I’ve herd so much about. He said yes and no. He said if you think hard work is your affinity, then yes. Meny a girl has an ambish to get married. If it wasn’t for that, believe me, most of us men wouldn’t have i gost of a show. I am sure I don’t know what my ambish is. Sometimes I think it it confined to seeing all the shows that come to town and playing on the Tiger s team. But I don’t know, may, be after all, it’s owning a candy store. We don’t have to send to Cuba for pineapples. They know us and send them to us. Only $1.90 to $2.10 for what others sell for from $2 25 to $2.50 a case, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Trials of a Postmaster Told In a North Judson Newspaper

“I’d like a purple two cent stamp please. The purple ones are three cents? Don’t they make the two cent ones in purple? How exasperating! I wanted to match my purple stationery. Yes, I know, but that’s needles* expense. I don’t see why you can’t make the two cent ones in purple, too Purple ink doesn’t cost any more than red ink—at least I don’t think it does because purple ribbon does not cost any more than red ribbon. What’* that? Well, I think the government might be that obliging, and make them in all colors. You say it would make the denominations hard to distinguish. Well, I should think the postoffice man might take time to look at the figures considering that they get paid two cents just for that little square oi paper. Well, if you’re so obstinate, I suppose I’ll have to take a red one then. This letter does weigh more than an ounce? An ounce and a half! Why, I can put a three cent purple one on can’t I, then? Four cents? Why I like that! An ounce and a half, at two cents an ounce would be three cents. I learned that at school. Why I don’t think that’s fair at all. What’* that? You didn’t make the postal regulations? Well, maybe not, but I’m sure that if you would explain it to the postmaster, and about my purple stationary, and all— Oh, I wanted to

ask you; Are stamps any cheaper if one buys them in large, quantities? They’re not? Then I couldn’t get six five cent ones for a quarter? Well, that’s funny. At the department store they always make reductions when one takes six of anything. And I wanted to ask you about souvenir post cards. If I write on one and put it in an envelope it will go for one cent, won’t it? Two cents! Why, I don’t see— Sir! What if there are people waiting? Is that any reason why I shouldn’t be waited on properly? I’m going to report your impertinence to the floor walker—to Washington I mean. I don’t like your postoffice system, anyway. I’m going to write to Mr. Taft about it. He looks so sympathetic. Well, I guess I’ll have to take a four cent stamp then, but I dispise blue, especially that shade.”
