The Chinamen living in Hammond,
to their own expression, same likee Melicans now."
The emperor of China has give perfor all Chinamen to cut off their cues and they are all delighted as one of the greatest ambitions of Chinamen who come to this country is to look and act as near as possible like Americans. Several Chinamen
in this city have given it as their opinion that in a few years the cue would be but a memory like the powwigs worn by our ancestors in revolutionary times. The emperor cut off his cue early
in the spring and by his order all the soldiers did the same. Since that time a great many Chinamen, both of those residing in China and those who have moved to foreign countries have followed their emperor's exam
ple, A few of the older celestials living in Hammond still retain their ancient badge of submission to the Tartars
and look with displeasure upon this
new custom. The younger generation,
however, are anxious to become like the Americans and have followed the example of their emperor. Few people have any conception of what a serious thing it is for a Chito part with his cue. Before the recent order of the emperor it would have been equivalnt to re
nouncing their allegiance to their
country and any Chinaman found
within the boundary of China with
out his cue would have been put to
death as a traitor. A Chinaman
would much rather be killed than lose his cue. When the American sol
diers were in China, during the
Boxer trouble they found the easiest way to arrest a Chinaman was to hold his cue in one hand and a knife
in the other. He then became as do
cile as a child because he knew that
if he made an offensive move the
white devil" would flash off his
precious pigtail.
But now it is all different, the Chi
naman is no longer required to war his cue and in fact he is encouraged
to take it off.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
While virtue is its own reward it can't help going to the postoffice octo see if some one else hasn't sent it an extra one. It isn't always best to make light of it when you are in the dark.
If the past would only stay past it
wouldn't matter so much.
It is much easier to forget a favor
received than an injury given.

MONON SAFE DYNAMITED
Operator Is Bound and Gagged and
the Thugs Got Away with $200 in Cash. Lafayette, Ind., July 31.--News re
ceived here tells of the dynamiting of
the station safe of the Monon railroad
at Linden, Ind., eighteen miles south of this city. It is reported that three
masked men entered the station and
bound and gagged the operator. They
then set to work on the safe, and, aft
er discharging several shots of dyna
mite, succeeded in blowing off the door
and obtained, it is said, $200.
The operator succeeded in freeing himself from the ropes with which he
was tied and notified the dispatcher's office. A special train with railroad
officials and detectives left here short
ly after midnight for the scene of the
hold-up.
An all-day search was made for the
robbers, but without results. One hun
dred and seventy-nine dollors in mon
ey and checks were found on the rail
road track north of the station.

Some Helpful Hints--The Girl Who
Is Gaining Flesh.
A splendid laxative sirup may be made as follows: Put a half pound of raisins, prunes and figs to soak in three pints of cold water. Bottle the
sirup after two days and take a tablenight and morning. Raisras are extremely nourishing, esthe sun dried Malagas, which
are full of grape sugar. That they should be thoroughly masticated goes without saying. A nutritious and palatable mixture for sandwiches may be made from blanched almonds and ralsins that have been put through the mincing machine. Treatmenf for pimples and blackheads calls for absolute cleanliness of the body, externally and internally.
Pimples show that the body is absorbpoisonous substances that it should be throwing off freely. Keep the intracts, the kidneys and the skin all active by drinking plenty of water, eating fruit and bathing dally. At night scrub the face well with hot water. The girl who is gaining flesh rapidly must keep out of doors, doing plenty of good hard work, playing golf or tennis, rowing or walking and so helping that fat to turn into firm, slender muscle. Avoid bread and butter, taking salted toast instead. Live mainly on fruit, vegetables and lean meats. Never take butter, cream, eggs, cereals or fat meats. Make it a habit to take lemon juice in a little water before breakfast every morning. It will be good for you. Do not sleep too much and keep busy all the time.
Will Taggart Leave Indiana? Indianapolis, July 31.--Thomas Tag-
gart is negotiating for the purchase of
hotel properties at Excelsior Springs,
Mo., and for a pleasure resort in Mississippi, and it is understood here
that he proposes to develop these propand make them the equal of
French Lick Springs. It is said by
friends of Taggart that Governor Hanhas made it impossible for a pleas
ure resort to be carried on in Indiana
along the lines he desires, but whether
the negotiations for outside properties
mean that he is to abandon the state
is not certainly known. He Will Have Reform.
Muncie, Ind., July 31.--"If it should
be necessary to send to jail every sa
loonkeeper in the 'red light' district in order to preserve order there, this will be done," declared City Judge Frank
Gass, in sentencing Tony Williams
proprietor of a saloon who was charged
with pointing firearms and assault and
battery. Almost nightlv stabbing and
shooting affrays have caused the police
and courts to make an effort to rid th
town of its principal "red light" dis
trict.
Jealous Lover Fatally Shot.
Vincennes, Ind., July 31.--Walter Johnson, 19 years old, who is alleged to have fatally shot Henry Kepping, a
pearl buyer, 31 years old, has su
rendered to Sheriff Westfall. Kepping resented attentions to his sweetheart, Anna Bell, and in the resulting quarwas shot in the abdomen.
The Only Way. Though a man may squeeze a dollar Till the eagle's eyes turn white, You can still get money from him If you go about it right, And it's really very simple If you only know the plan Guaranteed in any climate And to work on any man. Though he freezes to a dollar Like a stocking to a burr Or a girl of six and thirty To a man who smiles on her, You may still extract it from him, Not perhaps to his delight, As I said in the beginning. If you go about it right. Is it for the pleasant asking, Backed up by a dimpled smile, That you get his tight held dollars And make inroads on his pile? Do you tell him that the heathen And the poor, downtrodden Turk Are in need of education? Well, that scheme will hardly work. Much more primitive the method Used to make this man produce. Tie him with a six inch cable Tightly, so he can't get loose. When you've bound him to a willow With a knot that's tied to stay Leisurely go through his pockets. Really, it's the only way.

Easy to Do.
A Chicago man who has been conof a crime, but is out of the
penitentiary on some sort of a writ or another applied for by his friends, has been furnishing the nation with quite a bit of summer gayety by trying to break into prison, using every means he could think of save a pick. Every day we see political grafters and men of that class apparently trytheir best to break into the penitenand just missing it by the fracpart of an inch, but as a general proposition it is not a hard matter to secure winter quarters in some highly recommended penitentiary. There are people who think that a man might have higher ideals, but this is a free country, and every one is at liberty to cultivate his whims, though it must be admitted that most people who have thoughts in that direction really want to break in as warden.

She Has Defied the Court. Muncie, Ind., July 31.--Despite the prohibition of Judge Leffler, in granta divorce to Mrs. Fred Richardshe is already the wife of Claude Swaim. The divorce was granted on the 10th inst., and she wedded Swaim last week.
