Alfred Praga. Alfred Praga, founder and president of the British Eociety of Siniaturists and who is regarded as one of the ablest living exponents of the delicate art of miniature painting, was born in Liverpool, April 6, 1861. His father Intended him for the medical profession, but medicine failed to appeal to him and he soon drifted away from it into art. He studied for a time In the famous art school In South Kensington and later pursued his studies in Antwerp and Paris. His miniatures soon become the vogue, and the restoration to popularity of this method of portraiture is greatly due to him. Recently Mr. Praga completed the portrait of King . Edward.

A woman always wonders why she cannot get skirts to fit her as well as those she sees on the store window models. Mr. "Watson's names Is James Ell, and a Hammond man believes that his second name really helped him to get there. THE HOURS WE SPEND IN CRAVING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE WOULD BE BETTER SPENT IN HUSTLING LIKE THE DICKENS FOR THE ATTAINABLE. Mr. Goodwine will probably have no difficulty in running on a local option plank. A man of intelligence and wealth who treats his subordinates with rudeness and insult Is Just a natural born coward. Ah, ha! Our old friend the rhubarb pie 13 on deck and ready to make a home run. You may think you are as modest as a flower, but at that your neighbors probably say that you have nerve to burn. It is said that Mr. Taft's campaign is so strenuous that he can already see his toes. Hard to see how if he keeps up the gait ha struck in Chicago. We men are accused of so much by women that sometimes we fear that some of us may be guilty. The Charlestown (S. C.) Post, democratic, says "that Bryan is not only a loser twice but a loser and a greater loser as he grows older. It Is Mr. Bryan's weakness that he cannot refrain from bossing jobs that are none of his business." ' ' WE NEVER CAN UNDERSTAND

.. - . . THE 1 Daily Mound

Pretty rough on Colonel Bryan to invite him to a banquet to eat and not to talk, especially wheu ; he would rather talk than eat. The eyes of a thousnnd children are turned to Hammond for on Friday of this week there will be great doings. It Is the hit dog that always hollers the loudest and the fattest chicken that always roosts the highest. Lucky young newspaper man recovered $110 he carelessly left In a procket when he sent his trousers to be pressed. His father owns the paper. Common or scrub variety of newspaper man never has his pressed. The Garden of Allah weather Is now overdue. Awful lot of din In South Chicago this week. It Is a queer day when something shocking doesn't occur at Gary. The Flints did not succeed in hypnotising any one In Hammond Into thinking that they couldn't count all their money. Now as far as the peek-a-boo shirt waist Is concerned WHY PEOPLE USE THE WORD "NATURAL" IN DESCRIBING SOME POOR LIFELESS CORPSE AT A FUNERAL. Prof. Ross says that the idle rich are more dangerous than the hoboes. Yes, but they are less apt to soak you over the head with a piece of gas-pipe, however. IN POLITICS Chairman Dick Schaaf Is back from Indianapolis sailing Into the cam paign with renewed vigor. South Chicago is alive with politics today and never in the history of the city has there been an aldermanic fight of such tremendous Importance as that waged between Jones and Derpa. Attorney Ballard, one of Gary's eading lawyers, was in Hammond this morning and smilingly admitted that Gary was very much alive politically. When asked as to which party was dominant he said, "Well, I'll have to answer that with a great big question mark. Nobody knows how the for eign voter will line up. Both sides are claiming, but that's as far as It goes." The democrats of Lake county may be planning a big barbecue for Gary on May 3, when they select their coun ty ticket, but the biggest barbecue of the season will be on Nov. 3, when the republicans will roast the spavined and ringboned old democratic donkey. Chesterton Tribune. On the whole the ticket named is the strongest one that could have been picked out. A man who can win in such a convention as that ovpt ,Vi able opponents as C. W. Miller, Taylor and Hugh Miller, certainly has in him the elements that will make a victory over democracy this fall easy and certain. Crawfordsville Joi You don't say!! There will be a large list of entries for the democratic nomination for sheriff. There Is a general belief that Laporte county will get Into the demo cratic band wagon this fall and this explains why twelve or more aspir ants are seriously considering making the race for party preferment. In cluded in this list are Arthur Roeske and Joseph Zack, Michigan City; Ar thur Taylor, Pleasant township; James Conry of Center township; Frank J. King, of this city; John G. Matthews of Wanatah, and a number of others. -Laporte Argus. As an example of climbing into the band wagon, we recommend the following from the Lafayette Courier, a republican paper which has been fighting Watson tooth and toenail: Republicans of every section of Indiana should from this time on be found in the fight for repub licanism. With Watson as leader of a ticket composed men all of whom stand for the of all that is honest and progressive in government, and with a platform that is In accord with the Ideas of the great majority of the Indiana people, the ticket should win. The issuras are formed, the leaders chosen. It is a battle now of constructive, progressive principles against unknown and untried ideas advocated by men who have had little or no experience in affairs of government. ANNOUNCEMENTS. I will be a candidate for nomination for sheriff on the democratic ticket. subject to. the decision of the democratic nominating convention. to be held May 2, at Gary. FRED & CARTER. To the Editor: You may announce my name as a candidate for the trusteeship of North township on the demo cratic ticket, subject to the wish of the voters at the primaries. eod JOHN A. EBERT.

As a result of the expenditure of $800,000 for drainage in Newton coun ty in the past twelve, years, the land has doubled in value and the increased productiveness of the land in five years would pay half of the cost.

It Is believed that these odds will fluctuate somewhat, as the percentage in favor of the books is usually much greater on the coast. It is chiefly the fact that conditions are regarded as greatly favoring McFarland that he has been made the choice, as Britt is said to be in good trim. WORKS ON MILE RELAY TEAM.
