BETUBNING CONFIDENCE HAS ARRIVED.

AMONG THE RAILROADS WHICH RUN through Lake county Is one Called the Erie. It has come Into the possession of one, Mr. Harrlman, whom sve are pleased to state is one of the best known optimists In the United ! States. Indeed, from what little Lake county people know of the Erie and Its trials and tribulations, a man must be quite a little bit of an optimist to want the Erie railroad bad enough to buy It. But Mr. Harrlman controls a railroad mileage greater than would span the globe. He has been- Interviewed and says that there Is every Indication of prosperity. Conditions are normal and there Is no excuse for business depression. The basis of prosperity in every country," says Mr. Harrlman, "is the product 6f the soil, nd the crop here could hardly be better. Farmers are contented; they have no mortgages to pay; their fences are built and the land is producing all they need. Everything depends on that." This 13 good reasoning Bnd surely, will appeal to the doubting Thomas. ; It Is exaggeration to say that times are getting in Joint again? Several months ago, while in Vienna, Messrs. F. S. Betz, A. M. Turner and JtV. H. Gostlin, of Hammond, Just hearing of the oncoming panic, decided to ?hurry home as fast as they could. They were frightened. If they were In .Vienna today, they would linger longer. They have no further fears.

BENJAMIN O. HODGES AND TONY ROTCHKOSS are two citizens of ufflngtcn, . whose troubles landed them yesterday In the Lake superior court In Hammond. And thereby hangs a talc In an altercation which they had In the village smithy recently, Mr. Hodges lost his temper and heavily swatted Mr. Rotchkoss, and great was the fall of the latter. He struck the smithy forge with such violence that :when they picked him up he was non compos mentis. Instead of fighting it out in the good old Saxon way, Mr. Rotchkoss haled Mr, Hodges into the superior court and over a score of witnesses were summoned. The costs In the case so far would tear a big hole in a hundred dollar bill, to say nothing of the dent in the forge. The time and attention of a high court has been taken up with a petty assault and battery case, which should have gone no farther than the Justice court, and when the end comes some person will have a pretty fee bill to account for, whole a good deal of dissaisfaction will result whichever party n the trifling law suit wins. It takes all kinds of people to make up the little terrestnal ball on which Jre atoms move for a short day. THE DANGER OF EXPANSION.

AMONG THE MOST IMPOSING CAFES that Gary boasted of was the Colonia, which closed its doors yesterday in a sensational way, and a sermonette might be preached from Its history. It closed in such a way that a flock of creditors swooped down on it. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker appeared on the scene with consternation written all over their faces. When Its proprietor started the place It drew the cream of the trade .nd was considered a little mint all by itself. Not content, however, with the income he was deriving from the place. Its owner decided to branch out and opened up another restaurant. It is learned now that the double task was the cause of the business wrecking and that the cafe man was unable to stand up under the stratn. It recalls the old first reader story of the boy who roamed from blackterry bush to blackberry bush, while he was picking fruit, and was warned by his father to "stick to one blackberry bush." Sometimes it pays to be content with one good thing.

earl to Heart Tall By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. TO THE CUM CHEWING GIRL. My dear young woman: Do not get the habit. I want to tell you that the evils of the gum chewing habit are clearly explained by Dr. John S. Diamond of Bellevue college, New York, and he ought to know. lie says, for instance: That if you chew gum habitually you unduly excite your salivary glands. You actually swallow some pints of saliva every day. And if you chew during the hours of digestion you neutralize the acidity of the stomach. Now, says the doctor, you delay digestion, which in itself is a bad thing, and you run the risk of microbes. Besides: Dr. Diamond says gum chewing is "a neurotic manifestation." That is to say, your nerves are jangled, out of tune. You have developed a sort of Jaw unrest, which is no trivial affair. "Pish!" you say. All this talk about stomach and nerves does not touch you. But say! Do you know this: Gum chewing persistently followed up will destroy some of the beauty of your mouth and chin and sooner or later put ugly lines In your lower face? It is the honest truth! Now, I think I see you sit up and pay attention. That warning Is worth while. It stands to reason. The machinery of the lower part of your countenance was not made for perpetual chewing. It is geared to work only when there is the right kind of grist. Overwork and strain will rack the working parts Just as they do any other kind of machinery, even more so, because muscles and nerves and blood vessels ara delicate. Something also might be said about your face in perpetual motion. You run a great risk In permitting your best young man to see you under such circumstances. Of course where every one In your set is of a like chewing disposition and everybody chews and chews and chews, why, perhaps it Is not well to be too finical. remember, will you please, about the coming of those ugly lines and creases about your mouth? origin. Some thirty odd years ago he was a clerk In a solicitor's office, and was studying various subjects, including elocution, at the Birkbeck institute in his evenings. Then the stage attracted him and he trod the boards for the best part of ten years, acting in Henry Irvlng's Lyceum company and elsewhere. Meanwhile he wrote some forces, becoming famous at last by the production of "The Squire" by Mr. and Mrs. KendaL For many years since he has been writing society dramas, which have not only made his famous but rich too. Critics agree that he suggests Sheridan In his manner of presenting society on the stage. Pinero's vital force In keenness and his never-failing wit and technical skill contribute largely to his charm. Among his most widely known productions are "Sweet Lavender." "The Weaker Sex." "The Cabinet Minister," "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," "The Princess and the Butterfly," "The Profligate," "The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith," "The Benefit of the Doubt," "The Gay Lord Quex," "Iris," "Trelawny of the Wells," and "A Wife Without a Smile."

O. sign is hung out, but business is expected to pick up before long. Ben Bell went to the Point today, not to do any political work, however, but to mix with the athletes.

Governor Johnson, the Charleston News and Courier thinks was the most Impressive figure at the recent conference of governors. It says of his candidacy for the democratic nomination: "If the convention shall nominate some other man, he will support him with his whole heart. If the convention shall nominate him, he will be elected; that Is to say, if the Bryan element in the party will give Johnson the same loyal support Johnson has pledged himself to give Bryan in case the Nebraskan Is nominated. Johnson makes friends wherever he goes. Men trust him because he is a man controlled only by the highest and most unselfish motives, and possesses marvelous strength of will and fortitude of purpose. He believes that the issue of tariff reform should be made the leading issue in the approaching presidential campaign. He does not run after the strange gods. He Is not a dreamer of dreams, but he believes with all his heart in the hard common sense of the people." One of the most exciting political campaigns that Georgia has experienced since the civil war is now at its height.

Billy Sunday, the revivalist, is holding meetings at Sharon, Pa. A few of the more choice things he got off in a sermon the other day are as follows: We have too much sweating for the devil in the church. A man who keeps his store open on Sunday Hs an anarchist. There is no difficulty to him who wills. Put that in religion. The atmosphere of a ten cent leg show Is a bad place for anyone. We are locking the switch and giving the devil the main line.' - ' We'll conquer in this fight when "the men of the church will not sell out to the devil. Lots of people in the church never backslide. They never get any place to backslide from. Backsliding is knowing a richer experience in grace than you know tonight. I never saw a dancing or card playing Ing church member who was worth two whoops this side of hell. It's one thing to be a member of the church and another thing to be a member of the body of Christ. Show the world that you haven't got a yellow streak In you when It comes to work. If you start out expecting to offend nobody, you are a fizzle before you begin. We have a lot of people who talk heaven, but who are going the other way. I wouldn't want Christ to come back and see me competing for a hooby prize in a card party. We have got people in the churches who wear out fifty-five pairs of holdbacks to one pair of tugs. There Is a whole lot going on behind the name of "clubs" that would not look good in the newspapers. Sleeping for the mind and body is a good thing, but for the moral and spiritual life it is a bad thing. If God was no more anxious to save people than you folks are to see them saved, things would be in an awful fix. Some people read the good-for-nothing novels and let the Bible mildew on the table. A backslider is a liar, one who Is untrue to God and the vow which he took for Him and His truth. The trouble is that the gospel gun is trained too high. Screw up the butt, lower the muzzle and let her go Gallagher. The unwritten law is abnormally developed In me. If I had been on the Thaw Jury I would have said: "Harry, skidoo with your wife and go home." When a young buck comes around and asks you to marry him to reform him, you Inform him that you are not running a Keeley institute. I would rather be an old maid than to be yoked up to a characterless, profane, whisky-soaked old Jug handle of a husband. If you are decent, you will admit the man who preaches God's truth at you, although he shoots you full of holes while he Is at it. Sit there, you old skeptic, and stiffen your old neck, conscious in your dignity of learning. The time will come when God will make you turn pale. Children learn more devilment on the streets between 7 and 10 o'clock at night than all the preachers, evangelists, public school and Sunday school teachers on earth can eradicate. Don't put your nonsensical divergence of opinion against God, nor lift up your fool little Judgment in defiance of God's plan, or He will grind I want to preach so that the fellow you into powder. who works with a pick and shovel all day can listen to me without getting warts on his brain and having brain fever.
