“Look Me Over; What Do You See?’’. Asked the Marshal

Approaching the city marshal the reporter propounded his stock interrogative: “Anything new?” Standing erect in his pride and showing some mysterious cause for delight the marshal said: “Look me over; what do you , see?” The reporter looked, banning the marshal from boot to cap. Shoes, head gear, coat, breeches, overcoat and star looked Just as they had tor a half a year or more ?nd yet there was something that seemed to stand out more conspicuously than ever before. -The reporter passed a few guesses, but all were "cold,” and we were entirely off the track.. Finally the proud marshal could restrain himself no longer and blurted out: *Tm a grandfather.” The answer dispelled all mystery. It was the marshal’s first experience in the realm of grandparent It was a cause tor an elevated chest and a (broad smile The babe is a boy and was born last Bunday, Dec. 7th, to (Mr. and Mrs. Curtis B. Brunsdon, of Hammond, she being Marshal Shesler’s daughter. The .future boss of the Brunsdon home weighed six pounds and has a pair of lungs that Indicated a greater weight The mother was doing splendidly when the father and grandfather talked of their mutual happiness over long distance Thursday. •

"Please, Bo, Gimme a Dime,” Plea of Chicago Beggars.

Chicago is said to be overrun with beggars. The loop shopping district is the place selected by the men beggars to plead tor money from the Christmas shoppers. The beggars are not worthy of aid, according to the Record-Herald, and. the men who approach you with a plea for enough to “eat on,” as a matter of fact want the m'oney to spend tor booze. Our desire to aid the unfortunate should not lead you to contribute to these derelicts who put up these “touching” appeals in Chicago. Your money will be spent in a dram Shop and the object of your tender heart may be a criminal. If you want to give to deserving charity, place your money with the associated board in Rensselaer before you go to Chicago or drop it in the Salvation Army boxes in the city, but don’t give a copper to the professional beggars.

There will be a song service and prayer meeting at the M. P. church, North Van Rensselaer street, Sunday evening at 7 o’clock. All are invited.

Don’t fail to be represented in The Republican columns with your Christmas advertising. Let the people all over Jasper county and every family in Rensselaer know that you want their trade

MANY HUNTERS ARE GETTING LICENSES

Ninety-Two Issued From First of Month Until Friday Morning at 10—Blanks Ordered. The newspaper* articles about the failure of hunters to take out licenses inspired many to get busy. Thoughtlessness had doubtless caused the neglect in the past and the. warning from the game warden caused the “gunmen” to get a hustle on themselves. A reporter for The Republican catted at the county clerk’s office at 10 o’clock this Friday morning and found Clerk Perkins busy issuing licenses. He remarked that the supply of blank licenses was getting short and that he had just ordered 300 more. He had less than 50 on hand. Since Dec. Ist, 92 licenses had been issued, which was as many as had been issued during six preceding months. There is no reason why any person Should take the chance of hunting without a license. The cost is not very much and the law which provides for the license was passed by the state legislature with a view to the protection of the game. It should have the support of all good citizens. We shall not be Surprised to hear of arrests for failure to have licenses and to avoid getting up for a fine that may run up to $25 all who want to hunt should take the preliminary step to visit the county clerk and get a license.

Postmasters Called Before The Federal Grand Jury.

A deputy United States marshal was in Wheatfield Wednesday afternoon and is reported to hgye driven from there to Laura to serve a subpoena on Postmaster Wallace to attend the federal grand jury at Indianapolis. This report, however, could not be verified, although from another source it was learned that a number of postmasters in small towns had been summoned before the federal grand jury for tlieir failure to make complete returns to the government at the stated times. Postmasters are allowed to hold a reserve of only SSO and many are said to have been in the habit of carrying reserves greatly in excess of that sum.

The Republican was informed that Postmaster Lucas at Newland and former Postmaster Guy Beebe, of that place, had been summoned eo Indianapolis, but Mr. Lucas, over the telephone, denied that this was the case and said that he had not been and he was quite certain Mr. Beebe had not been summoned. The Republican’s informant stated that in turning over the Newland office to Mr. Lucas, Beebe had made complete surrender of all •funds, but that he like other postmasters had been holding in excess of SSO untiF the final settlement. It is probable that nothing more will be done than caution postmas-' ters that they must comply with the requirements and hold a reserve fund of only SSO.

He will be at Belle Center without fail for the meeting advertised. The subject at all of these meetings will be alfalfa.

Devere Yeoman Will Be the County Road Superintendent.

AS provided by law In all counties where there Is a less mileage than 200 improved roads the county surveyor of Jasper county will become the superintendent after Jan. Ist Where the mileage law exceeds 200 the law requires that a superintendent be appointed and there is a lively scrap tor the job in a number of counties. With roads now projected there will be more than 200 miles in this county and then there will be a superintendent’s job for some one.
