INDIANA DAY.

September ist to be Indiana State Day at World’s Fair. Thursday, September 1, has been designated as Indiana day at the World’s Fair. The Indiana World’s fair commission is making elaborate preparations for making Indiana day one of the greatest events of the exposition and invites the co-op-eration of all citizens of Indiana to that end. Governor Durbin and his staff will attend and participate in the events of the day. All of the state officials, most of the congressmen and other prominent men of the state have indicated their intention to make Indiana day an event worthy of our state. The details of the program are not yet completed but the exercises will consist of a military and civil parade, composed of the governor and his staff, the Indiana Commission, state officials, citizens of Indiana escorted by a battalion of regular army troops. The famous Packard Band of Ft. Wayne, and the Indianapolis Ncwb’ Newsboys Band will also participate. The parade will move from Jhe administration building at one o’clock, p. m., proceeding to the Indiana state building where there will be addresses by Governor Dnrbin, Lieut. Gov, Gilbert, Senator Fairbanks and other prominent Indianians. Every citizen of Indiana will be given a handsome souvenir badge when he registers at the state building. In the evening an informal reception will be given by the Governor and the members of the Indiana Commission, to which every citizen of Indiana is invited. No invitation will be issued to citizens of the state, but a general invitation is extended to all through th® press of the state. Any j>erson wearing the state badge will be heartily welcome. The railroads have agreed to a rate of one cent a mile for this occasion. Tickets will be on sale on *ll railroads on Wednesday, August 31st, good returning any time within seven days. There is considerable rivalry among the states as to which will make the best showing on their state days, and it is sincerely hoped that the citizens of Indiana will take sufficient interest in the matter to place their state in a position that we can be proud of. Everything will be most favorable to enjoy the exposition daring the first week of September. The weather there is usually pleasant at that time and there is less liability of rain than later in the fall. The Indiana building will be the headquarters of Indiana people. This building is not the largest of the state structures, but it is one of the most commodious and in the exqmsiteness of its design is second to none. The building is near the southeast entrance at the corner of the two- main avenues of state buildings. Indiana has signalized herself already in the interest which she Vaa taken in the exposition and the exhibits of the state, the commissioners believe, will be a pride to every guest. One of the most interesting ex-

hibits will be that of the agricultural and horticultural products. Even months before the fait was opened the commission was busy laying plans for this display. The educational work of the state is very thoroughly exposed and in the art department arc many interesting studies from Indiana artists. The collection of hand painted china which has been gathered from many different parts of the state is one of the best on the exposition grounds and the many varieties of woman’s work were collected only by the most careful and untiring efforts on the part of the commission. One counter of men’s and women’s new oxford tie shoes, about one-half price to close, at the Chicago Bargain Store.

A MARRIAGE CELEBRATION AT HAMMOND.

Hammond Tribune: There was high carnival in Polock town last night after a popular couple had been married. An informal celebration was held at Joe Przymuszinskies saloon at the corner of Ogden and State Line streets. In a free for all fight Adam Dembiuski was badly beaten up. He was found near the Hammond building and was taken to the police station. Later he was removed to the Hammond hospital where Dr. Pannenborg announced his injuries were not serious.

And Lobelia Went.

She —John, how often are <-you shaved? He—Four times a weelt on an averse. “How long does It take?" “About half an hour." “Half an hour four times a week! That's two hours a week, four and one-third days In a year and nearly a month and a half In ten years. Think of it. Bllllger. If you should let your beani "ow you would save time enough L; ‘-n years”— “Look be.v. l:ow often do you dress your hair?” “Every day, of course. But that’s different.” “That's different, is it, eh? It takes you half an hour every blessed day of your life to look after your frizzes. If that’s what you call them. Think of It Half an hour a day, three hours and a half a week, nearly eight days In a year and an entire month In four years, a whole year in forty-eight years and over two years In a century! Lobelia, you’d better go and look after the baby.”

A HOPELESS CASE

Mrs. Desmond was a supreme disposer of men. They were the pawns in the checkered game of her life. She could mate In a move. Marriage was a sort of homicidal mania with her. Nobody ever made the slightest resistance against her decrees. When she thought it proper for a man to propose to a girl she simply told him that the hour had arrived. She was as Incontrovertible as the guillotine. But Tony Seton was Mrs. Desmond’s despair. Three times had she invited him to her country house, and twite had he returned unbeguiled Into marriage. Now she was In despair. Mrs. Desmond was honestly fond of Tony Seton. She would have done almost anything for him, except let him remain single. That was too much even for her affection. “Bachelors and funerals I hate.” she said. Tony, even though he were a bachelor, she could not hate. He was too big and brown and boyish for that. Nobody ever hated him. “Tony,” said Mrs. Desmond one morning, “Tony, I am going to give you one more chance. A girl is coming to see me—charming girl—by that I mean a rich girl. That Is my idea of a charming girl. Her name is Viola Lorimer. Now, Tony,” and Mrs. Desmond shook her forefinger at him menacingly, “this is your very last chance. Think of all I have done for you. You have been almost ns much trouble and worry to me as my husband was. He was a singularly thoughtless man until he conceived the idea of dying. Well, I suppose every one has .one clever idea some time—only 60 few act upon it. You have been my despair for three years. You’d be a widower with a lot of money if you had been expeditious. And now you’ve let Fanny Russell engage herself to this—this cousin.” “But I don’t love any girls,” expostulated Tony, getting redder as his hostess enumerated his delinquencies. ~ “Love them!” she exclaimed scornfully. “I am talking of marriage. Now, I want you to make up your mind—or whatever you call it—to marry Viola Lorimer. She is a woman of the world, and you will be admirably suited to each other. Incidentally, she is very rich. Will you promise to do this for me? Really, you owe me something.” “You have been awfully good to me,” acknowledged Tony. “Of course I have,” she agreed. “I have been perfect to you. Did I ever make you do anything disagreeable, 6uch as getting me ices at parties or dancing with dull debutantes? Never.” “But you want me to marry some one.” “Any one,” she corrected. “In small matters like that I may he exlgeante, I own, but in big worldly affairs I am extremely liberal. I never made you leave cards after one dinner before I asked you to another, did I?” “No.” “There, you see! You will never have a friend like me, not even if you live to be a thousand. Now, you must ask Miss Lorimer to marry you.” “rerhaps she won’t,” suggested Tony, with a suspicion of hope in his voice. “Oh, pooh!” said Mrs. Desmond conclusively. “She will jump at you. You are very good looking. Do you know that, Tony? Only you must be careful not to get fat. You big fair people so often get fat in your old age. Let me see, how old are you? Twenty-eight! Heavens! You ought to have been married ages ago.” In due course Tony Seton was introduced to Miss Lorimer, and he was fain to acknowledge that she was charming. Tony, who had never known a moment of fear in his whole life, realized that he was in great danger. He had killed grizzlies in the Rocky mountains, and he had hunted tigers in Indian jungles, but he felt very insecure when, a week after his intrhduction, he found himself in the leafy seclusion of the conservatory alone with Miss Lorimer. Tony asked her to marry him and she refused him point blank. She explained that she was engaged already. She let Tony hold her hand, however. Tony was not above those things, even though he was unmarried. Later he told Mrs. Desmond that he had been refused, and Mrs. Desmond was furious. She stamped her foot — it was so small and daintily shod that such displays of rage were picturesque —and finally, from sheer disappointment and chagrin, she began to cry. She was going back to London on the following day, and Tony unengaged. Somebody must marry Tony. It was grotesque. Poor Tony had never seen Mrs. Desmond do anything but laugh, and he had always laughed with her. He hesitated an Instant, wondering what to do, and then suddenly she found herself In his arms. "I love you,” whispered Tony. “So do I,” she said irrelevantly. "And I want to marry you,” he added. And Mrs. Desmond gave his big hand a little squeeze and dried her eyes and smiled again. “So do I,” she reiterated. Then Tony kissed her. “I wouldn’t have had you go back to London unengaged for—for anything,” confessed Mrs. Desmond.—London San.
