RAG RUGS You cannot afford to neglect buying rag rugs now. We have been waiting over four months on a shipment of rag rugs and then only received about one-third of what we had on order. We have some new color designs in yellow and rose and blue and rose. Also some mottled patterns in size 36 x 72. These rag rugs can be used in the bedroom and at present we have them to match in different sizes. The prices run from $1.75 to $6.75. We have some new patterns in gray and blue cheniHe that are very good for the bedroom. w. J. WRIGHT

Some detective ,force! (Signed) “Carlisle. Tonight the police agents of the ! Union Pacific are nervous. They ;do not hesitate in expressing the i opinion that the next time they ' hear from Carlisle it most probably will be in the form of infonhation that another transcontinental passenger train has been robbed.

HOME TALENT PLAY A GREAT SUCCESS.

Local play-goers were given a real treat last night by the members of St. Augustine’s Literary club in their presentation of “Down by the Sea,” a drama in two acts. The play itself was a vqyy good one, the plot unwinding in a manner that made it very interesting until the final curtain had fallen, The cast of characters was exceptionally fine, the players acting their roles in a way becoming professionals. Those taking part were: Paul Donnelly, Paul Worland, Lambert Halsema, Walter Feldhaus, Ernest Abbott, Aloysius Kohley, Celia Kellner, Nell Drake and Mabel Worland. The musical numbers were furnished by the Healy orchestra. By request the play will be repeated next Friday evening, November 28, at the Parochial school hall.

A noble, high-souled, unselfish woman always inspires a man with chivalry—but it takes a spoiled little bundle of whims, curls,, caprices and vanity to make him practice it.

HONORED BY ODD FELLOWS

IN LINE FOR GRAND MASTER OF INDIANA ODD FELLOWS. Hon. George E. Hershman, of Crown Point, was elected Grand Warden of Indiana Grai\d Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. — This puts Mr. Hershman in line for Grand Master, which is the highest office within the Indiana dominion. Mr. Hershman is a native of Jasper county and is'the son of Mr. arid Mrs. Walter Hershman, of Walker township. He was for a number of years an attorney in this city and later moved to Crown Point, where he is now considered one of the best lawyers at the Lake county bar.

RENSSELAER TO HAVE FINE NEW APARTMENT HOUSE.

B. F. Barnes recently purchased' of A. Leopold the two lots located ■ just south of the Charles Pefley' residence on Front street and will soon erect a fine, modem apartment house thereon, which he himself will conduct. .. Rensselaer has faced a house shortage for many months and it has been found difficult .to house all who desire to make 'this eity their home. In some instances prospective citizens have given up the idea of locating here simply because they were unable to find a suitable dwelling house. Mr. Barnes’ move is a welcome one and will be much appreciated by our citizens. For the past several years Mr. Barnes has conducted a restaurant here in addition to running a rooming house and he has met with success, and his new venture assures Rensselaer of having a well conducted aptrfment house. The plans for the building are still in the making, but it is planned to make--it' modern and convenient in every respect.

H. S. GIRLS SHOULD RECEIVE PHYSICAL CULTURE.

The members of the Physical Culture club are anxious that the high school girls be given the opportunity of benefiting from the instruction they are receiving each week under a teacher from Delphi, and have made arrangements for a class each Saturday morning between the hours of 9 and 10 o’clock for them with the hope that all will avail themselves of the splendid opportunity offered to benefit physically at such a small charge. In the lower grades of the public schools physical culture is taught, but nothing of the kind is provided in the hight school, due to the fact that the student’s time is entirely taken up with other subjects. Providing the officers of the • clnb can interest enough v of the girls in the class, the work will be given at the library, starting within the next week or so.

SHERIDAN GAME WILL RECLAIM DOPE.

When Kentland walked over the crippled and disorganized R. H. S. for four touchdowns they in no way proved their superiority by that margin. In the first quarter, with the regulars in place, Rensselaer looked the best. All football men on the side lines felt sure they would “cop.” Guess “Pede” Meyers felt too sure. Now Sheridan held Kentland and gets through holding Sheridan we think the dope will look better again from our viewpoint, Everything points to a record crowd when Sheridan comes. The grounds should be better policed and spectators should wear their ti eke ts. Those who can’t buy tickets can carry water. Water boy to a football team is an honorary position to a small boy. We never felt bigger 'than we carried water out on the field to the ‘illustrious McGregor,” the “infallible Gwin,” the “invulnerable Hopkins,” the “immortal Dobbins,” and others too numerous for adjectives. . . Being water boy is a big feeling in its place, but to make a life work of carrying water to a leaky radiator," oh, boy! that’s my idea of zero in business efficiency. Buy a i Franklin. They don’t stop for need nor water. —Thompson & Kirk.
