GARY KNOWS THE VALUE OF GOOD ADVERTISING. THE MAGNIFICENT ADVERTISING THAT has been given Gary since the first shack was built in that wonderful city has certainly brought its results and they like the proverbial bread cast upon the waters will bear fruit for a long time to come. It has been a splendid tribute to the efficacy of modern' advertising methods, this growth of Gary. Of course it would be silly to sav that there would have been no Gary without the advertising that has

been literally heaped upon it by newspaper and magazine, for the United States Steel's millions can do nearly anything, but there is little doubt that

Gary would not have been what it is today had it not been for the advertising

that has been lavished upon it. Magazines by the score and newspapers Dy the thousands have contributed their columns to exploiting Gary. From

every state in the country and nearly every country on the globe have results come during these first few years of the city's young life, and the bene

fits accruing have been amazing. The dealers there and people flock to the tributing liberally to the progress and

If a name could be given Gary that would fit it well, it would indubitably be

"Gary the Well Advertised." THE PASSING OF AN THE NEWS OF THE DEATH of

neer citizens, has occasioned much regret in this locality, for the decedent was a man who was respected to a great extent by all those with whom

he came In contact. As an example of father and a kind hearted friend, few not a man who wore his heart upon neath his imperturbable exterior, beat mond. Perhaps It was his loyalty to sterling traits in the decedent for if

him he would be hard to find. There he will be missed for his counsel and advice and brotherly regard. In years gone by Mr. Mallett was the best known railroad man In the Calumet region and failing health and a lessening of virility were the only things that kept him from the top of the ladder in this respect. Those who knew Mr. Mallett, and knew him intimately, will truly mourn his departure from this earth, and as the funeral cortege passes

speaking countries continue to enlarge upon the relationship that China and Japan will play towards the economic interests of the western world. In writing on the business morals of Japan, George Trumbull Ladd shrewdly

says:

'If China and Japan were to exchange compliments with the western world in regard to the conduct of business intercourse, they could tell tales of exaction, fraud, debased good and 'junk' of varied kinds palmed off upon the 'heathen' which would quite outmatch the most extravagant stories of the same kind told by the San Francisco and Seattle dealer, or the Chicago and New York importer of oriental wares. That the cheating fell somehow

within the lines of a contract shrewdly worded to fit the case, and in a foreign language naturally fails altogether to appease the anger or to apologize for the wrong. Besides, business dealings, carried on and consummated

usually through foreign agents in the

sure and complete test, or perfect revelation, of the spirit of honesty, truth

fulness and iair-dealing which characterizes a nation at large. Neither is the jinriksha-man, or the keeper of a bazaar where foreigners buy cheap truck in Yokohama, more worthy to defame an entire nation than the 'cabby,' or the shopkeeper on the Strand or Fifth avenue, in London or

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1808, by Edwin A. Nye. THE DOG DIDNT UNDERSTAND. Her came was Maggie Ryan. Sullen eyed and defiant, she swept Into the police court Her hair was awry and her clothes were rumpled from a night at the police station. A little brown Bpaniel trotted at the woman's heels. Maggie Ryan had slept or tried to sleep on the hard, bare confines of the matron's room. Usually dogs real, for sure dogs are not admitted to the station, but something in the woman's wistful face caused the matron to let this little dog in. In the morning the woman divided her rough breakfast with the spanleL With reckless bravado and scorning the audience of curious loafers Mag gie Ryan answered the judge's ques tions. The dog stayed close. Maggie was arrested as a disorderly. "D. and D." drunk and disorderly. Her eyes were hard and cynical. Her mouth was set in a severe, straight line. Traces of a one time beauty lin gered. Dabs of face powder showed too thick In some spots. The spaniel crouched close to the wo man's skirts. I will give you until tonight to leave town," said the judge. The judge was kind hearted, and he had looked often at the little spaniel. She started toward the door. From there she would probably "hit the rails" out of town, out somewhere, anywhere out of town. The little dog started too. Briskly he sprang to her side. Once he jumped up and licked her hand. For the first time that day the wo man's lip quivered. Her eyes softened. They were almost beautiful eyes when there were tears in them. The woman's head drooped for an instant, and with one hand she furtively gave the dog's head a rough caress. The station door swung behind them, and they started down the street The little dog capered and then trotted proudly along at the woman's side. As he lifted his brown eyes there was In them a wonderful, worshipful look of love and devotion. Because he was only a dog. He loved this woman, his mistress a mistress from whom outer women drew aside their skirts in disdain. He was only a dog, and be didn't un derstand. How should he know the custom of humans who punish the woman sinner and let the man go free?

Scores of begging letters are arriving here daily for William H. Taft and in every one of them is a touch of deft flattery. "Touching letters," they are called. Dozens ask contributions to church debts. Many of these effusions to the republican candidate are addressed: "To the Hon. "William H. Taft, our next president," and in each is expressed the personal admiration borne by the writer for the candidate. There is one man in Cedarville, O., who says President Roosevelt is his namesake. He writes: "Deer Sir: I am gla3 to have another good man for president, Mr. Taft we will do all that is In our power to make you the next presadent. Roosevelt's namesake askes you to send him something. Now Mr. Taft don't do me like Mr. Roosevelt did, he would not ancer my letter." The Roosevelt policies in this at least are followed by Taft.

A little tiger cat has been the absorb ing topic of conversation and today the interest is greater than ever for a while the cat has been a prisoner between the walls of two houses for three days it Is now free although it was necessary to knock a hole in a brick wall to accomplish the purpose. Several days ago the plaintive cries of a cat attracted the ear of passers by on East Chicago's principal business street. One person more curious than the rest decided to Investigate after the cries had been heard for two whole days and it was discovered that in some unaccountable manner a cat had fallen from the roof of two buildings owned by the Given estate and occupied by Mrs. "Williams, who has a boarding house in the second story of the brick building, and by Dave Cohen and Albert Given, who occupy the lower floors of the two buildings. The attention of hundreds of p?op'e was attracted to the poor cat which was squeezed between the two wells and 'wirious plans were suggested for Its rescue. Every plan proved unavailing and it began to look as though the poor cat wouid have to stay pinned tetweon the two v.-alls until it starved to death. That was too much for W. R. Diamond, the owner and he determined upon a desperate plan to rescue. He tried to secure permission to cut through the wooden walls of the building but the owner would not allow it. So, without asking permission he went to Mrs. Williams, who occupies the upper floor of the brick building, and secured permission to cut through her wall. A hole was cut In the brick and the cat was finally released while the crowd
