Gary News

The Lake Shore has installed semsignals at the local office. This lessens the work for the agent inasmuch as he has had to flag trains hitherto, not being able to signal them, in any other way. Frank Reiland of East Chicago will start a milk route for our parbenefit on Friday. We have been imbibing the condensed varihitherto, but will give a hearty welcome to the disburser of the lacteal liquid. More and more the complexities of civilization overus and the simple life retreats. Soon it will be but a memory here as in other places. The colored boys began a night shift last night. Their work is the preparing of the track for the dumpcars. You must not gather the idea, however, that it is necessary to dump the cars over in order to empty them. It was a splendid sight to see the torches flickering in the night, and the dark figures moving around in their work along the track. From their nearby camp came the sounds of guitars and ban- Rees Williams and friend of East Chicago visited at Evans' camp on the north shore of the river yesterTolleston is beginning to do things also. Perry Ulrich has put up a new sign, facing the drive, that leads into our city. It calls attenour advantages and the money that is to be spent here. C. J. Ward has put up a new sign over Bormann,s office which leads us to believe that we are not the only ones that are hustling. Just as Euclid avenue was preparfor dinner last evening, about 6:45, another family made its apand immediately became a part of our city. They traveled in regulation pioneer style, prairie schooner, with the tarpaulin stretched over the bows. It was an elegant evening, and the lady sat in the open front of the wagon, holdlittle child in her arms, getting her first glimpse of Gary, as they drove down Broadway and across to where Wilder has his camp. The ommenced work this morning, grading for one of the contractors, and the lady will make a home for him here in this "Wilderness in the Heart of Civilization," as one vissaw fit to term our home. Another Place to Eat. Among the many that are being attracted hither we are at liberty to mention Mr. Specter. He is an exchef, having served in that capacity on a Wabash diner for eight years. He expects to open a first class chop house on Prospect avenue within a short time. Ala probable rival of Valient & Groat's they welcome his coming, inasmuch as some of the silk-stock-folks kind o' lose their appewhen they get around here, and with a Delmonico's on the ground they will have no caues for complaint. Buys Booze; Sees Snakes. A young man who has seen the bottom of a glass at Tolleston too often applied at one of the camps for work yesterday morning. He had hardly started at work before he had a case of delirium tremens that kept things interesting around him for a full hour. It is estimated from his rambling descriptions that he saw more fiery serpants than is ordinarily attributed to the nether regions. He became violent and it required the services of four men to keep him from hurting himself or others. He imagined himself in a snow-bank and called constantly to the men to take him out of the snow For Ice Cream and Cold Drinks N. MORELLI & CO.

as it was full of snakes. The men finally bundled him into a buggy that had been ordered, tied him seand hauled him off to TollesIt was a pitiable and revolting sight and should be a strong enough lesson for any user of the enticing intoxicant.

Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

THE LAUGHING MAN. The man who laughs at everythingThe ancient joke, the latest jest; Throws back his head and pulls the String And chronic blues knocks galley westall right when he works his fad At just the proper place to roar, Unless the joke's on you, egad; Then he's a nuisance and a bore. His laugh infectious rings aloud Where weary men for pleasure meet It ripples all around the crowd And then escapes into the street. And if the joke's on Jones or Brown His guffaw always makes a hit. But how you want to call him down If you're the victim of some wit! If he is tickled most to death He doesn't do the thing by half, But while he has an ounce of breath He spends it on a roaring laugh. His wide jaws on his hinges turn To give his vocal chords full play. When you're the victim how you yearn To stop it with a bale of hay! It's all right if the laugh is there To join and give your mirth full rein, But when a buzz saw rips the air And rattles on the window pane You want to call for the police To put the kibosh on his blat. To make him swear to keep the peace, If you're the one he's laughing at. Common Place. "He was wound ed in seven places in one battle." "Seven places! Where were they?" "One was in his left knee, and the other six were in his imagination." Costly. "It must have cost you something to have your daughter's voice cultivated." "I should say it did. It cost us nearly all our friends."-Philadelphia Press. Just That. Mrs. Longwed (excitedly)-I should like to know what you had before I married you! Mr. Longwed (dejectedly)-Well, I had a latchkey anyway!

Signs of His Finish. If the czar's soldiers go back on him, as they threaten to do, he might as well throw up the sponge if he has one and make the best terms he can. He and his brave son and all of the grand dukes cannot lick the entire Russian people, especially if some of the latter are armed with bombs. As long as the czar is surrounded by a few companies of loyal soldiers and a squad of police and has private dein all of the trees around his palace it is hardly a safe form of amusement to make faces at him, but just let him take his two hands as a naked proposition for his only defense and Battling Nelson or even the village blacksmith would make short work of him. As long as no one not in his pay is allowed to come within throwing disof him he looks every inch a czar, but just let his Cossacks be bitby the revolution microbe and his snap would be over. Color to Shy At. "Strong drink has been the curse of the Indian." "Where he makes a mistake is in looking upon the cup when he is red." Anything to Shut It Off. To elevate the Chinese stage The weary listener might Be sorely tempted to engage A man with dynamite. Wouldn't Stand For It. "Why did you start a fight with that boy?"
