Gary News

Messrs. Wickes and Heinz of Hammond were among visitors here this afternoon. Mr. Heinz is proprietor of the skating rink now located at Roby. II Is arranging for the disposal of a large tent which ho owns, finding a market for it here where temporary quarters of that kind are badly needed.

They have teams for pulling the car3, two cars comprising a load. The Falkenau company have their barracks and eating quarters well under way. They are located on Washington street near Sixth avenue.

Call, a well known young lawyer from the gas belt prospected here today. He is a cousin of the lawyer bearing the same name who does nearly all of Knapp, Haynie & Campbell's trial work, in Chicago.

He expects to study law at the University of Chicago next year and then settle down to practice later, and if George's convictions are to be relied upon his field will be with us. It is becoming more and more evident that the Lake Shore will soon have to establish a flagman at their crossing here. The frequent passing of trains over the double track when the public is making such constant use of the crossing, is dangerous to no email degree. One of the factors In the danger Is that the road runs its trains left handed, hence causing addconfusion to a person already scared by the approaching train. Mr. Lamb of Stein, Wyatt Sc Lamb, narrowly escaped being killed this evening by a freight train which came along just as the 5:20 was leaving. He started across as the passenger pulled out and suddenly caught sight of the approaching freight. He reined in his horse so suddenly that it threw him, fortunately. t ?one " side. Both horse andrider escaped although the fall bruised Mr. Lamb somewhat. The land company completed yesterday the allotment on the applications filed.

The company today notified the applicants of the disposition of their applicants and by the end of the week it is expected that dome of them will have begun preparations for building.

The Philadelphia comic valentine case has reached another Interesting stage. It began with the sending of the offending missive last February and was then enlivened by the recip ient's lawyer demanding that the sender be brought into court to an ewer to the charge of criminal libel, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Both the complainant and defendant are women and related by marriage and the proceedings show an added bitter ness on this account. Several months after the charge was made the grand jury returned a bill of indictment and then the lawyer for the defendant filed a demurrer to have this indictment Quashed. But the judge refused to sustain it. He declared that valentines of the character of the one under discussion, in which the recipient was alluded to as a scandalmonger, a busybody, a mischiefmaker and a person of unrestrained mendacity, afford ample grounds for suits of the character Instituted and that when such a libelous valentine leaves the sender's possession it is clearly in circulation according to the letter of the law. It Is possible that this Philadelphia case will prove a warning and a deterrent for those persons who under the cloak of anonymity use the socalled comic valentine as a mean3 of venting their malice. If so, it will not be prosecuted

WomanWorid A Husband Who Believes That W omen Waste Time In Shopping Tries It Himself He Is Convinced of His Error :: :: :: ::

"My " conscience !' ejaculated Mr. Faultrmd. "And do you mean to say you spent a whole afternoon matching those dinky. little hat trimmings?" "Yes, and I'd like to have seen you do better 1" returned his wife with spirit. "No wonder it is proverbial the way the aversge woman fritters away her time," went on Mr. Faultfind. warming to his subject. "My conscience, think of it! All those precious hours wasted for lack of a little business energy and system. Why, that very afternoon I saw eight clients and die- i tated twenty letters, more or less. I'd j like to show you how much time I'd i waste over a trifle like matching trim- j ming." "I wish you would, John, dear." Mrs. Faultfind assented meekly. "SupposHE STRODE THEOCGH. THE STORE. ing you buy the materials for my new evening dress tomorrow. With your business energy and clear masculine Judgment it won't take yon more than half an hour at the most, and it will leave me the day to attend to the children's school things and take Willie to the dentist." "I don't think yon ought to waste the entire day just sorting out a few clothes and taking the ride five blocks off to the dentist," remarked Mr. Faultfind grandiloquently, "but I can't expect you to learn rapidity and system all at once, and for that reason I will pick out that dress of yours before I go down to the office. I haven't liked the way you combine colors anyway lately. Just leave it to me!" He Goes A-shopping. The next morning promptly at 9 Mr. Faultfind presented himself at Cashem & Buyer's emporium, and after wandering about in a rather dazed condition among the crowds of women, he was resctied by a floorwalker and piloted to the satin counter, satin being the first dress material he could think of. "Give me enough yards to make an evening dress about the size of that one," he remarked, designating with his thumb a portly woman who promptly edged away with an awful glare. "What color?" murmured the salesman. "Ah, hum white, I guess," returned Mr. Faultfind. The clerk brought forth a bridal looking roll, venturing at the same time that perhaps if the lady was inclined to be stout another color "Take it away!" snapped Mr. Faultfind. "Looks like a tablecloth. Good heavens, man, haven't you something artistic, something with little speckles in it that'll make up kind of sassy?" He was directed by the giggling clerk to the novelty silk counter. "Good gracious, no!" he almost shouted when an elderly, sad faced clerk held up for his inspection a pattern of spotty black taffeta, with the remark that his wife had one just like It. '"Do yon think I want It for a funeral? Give me something with some ginger to it!" A young clerk wickedly produced a flowered plaid of such a loud design that they had been unable to sell it, but were thinking of cutting it up Into cushion covers for the upholstery department upstairs. Too Vivid to Print. Then Mr. Faultfind lost his temper and said things of such a nature that the alarmed floorwalker came running up. "I tell you I want something for a ball gown, something strong and durable so that it will last several years no, I mean evenings and yet something soft and kind of mosquito netting like and illusionary. But It must stand out nicely, you know, and be most any shade, and Say, can't you make oat what I mean? Goodness Seems Its simple enough. Just one dress for one woman, so high made" The floorwalker cut his ravings short by placing him in front of the chiffon and grenadine counter. There a wornan took pity on him and suggested that
