HEARD BY RUBE.

There seemed to be an unusual bustle about the police station last Saturday whea the report was received that the escaped convicts from the Joliet penitentiary had been seen in the Calumet swamps. Great preparations were made for a man hunt. All school children entering the South Chicago schools will be inspected and examined today for disease. Each pupil will receive the official health stamp by the Inspector. The next thing- on the program in South Chicago will be Thanksgiving and Christmas. By the way, have you got your winter stock of coal yet. It was a great day yesterday. A great many of the people celebrated by much that they feel very much the vrse for wear today. Many say the parade was the best ever seen In South Chicago. The floats were unusually pretty and much praise Is due to the designers. Mother's troubles are over for today at least- It was an awful job to get "Willies" feet an,d hands clean In time for school. And then he could not wear his shoes. . In regards to the disgusting and shameful condition of South Chicago's street car service, it will remain Just that way as long as the people will stand for it. All of Uncle Sam's employes in South Chicago enjoyed their day of rest to the full extent yesterday. Yes, Lake Michigan water is warm even if it does come through a faucet. According to reports, more babies die iouth Clhcago than in any other district in the city. If this Is true, why s there not something done to relieve the situ ation. Gambling is still going on by the wholesale in South Chicago. And it wouldn't be so bad if the boys from 18 to 20 years, were not allowed in these dens of vice. There has been considerable activity in the ranks of clarivoyants, trance mediums and palmists, since the exposure of the operations of "Prof." Kyro in the Thorpe building, Ninetyfirst street and Commercial avenue. TiANSING. Mrs. H. Eastman was a Hammond visitor yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Lehmker were Blue Is land visitors yesterday.

SPEAKER SHIFTED HIS QUID. This was Done So That No Partiality Could Be Shown. Doctor Hlldreth, in his "Memoirs of the Early Settlers of Ohio," devotes a chapter to Abraham Whipple of Rhode Island. He was born in 1733, and was one of the first to take a hand in the revolutionary war. In 1786 he was elected a representative to the legislature from the town of Cranston. The advocates of the paper-money system were then in power, and had chosen Othniel Gorton, a clumsy old man, for speaker. Gorton was in the habit of keeping a large quid of tobacco in one side of his mouth, which pressed out one of his cheeks. Most of the debates were on the opposite side of the hall from that on which Commodore Whipple sat, and the speaker's face was commonly turned that way. Once in the course of the debute Whipple had cogitated a speech, which he waited for an opportunity to deliver. At last, out of patience, he rose and called, "Mr. Speaker!" The speaker, whose face was turned the other way, did not hear him. He raised his voice to its utmost, "Mr. Speaker!" Gorton, started, and turning to the commodore, said, "I hear you." Thereupon Whipple began: "I wish, Mr. Speaker, you would shift your quid of tobacco from your starboard to your larboard jaw, that it might give your head a cant this way, so that you could sometimes hear something from this side of the house." Then he went on with his speech. JOIN THE ARMY WHO HATE TRIEn TIMES WANT ADS AND HAVE NOT POUND THEM WANTING

BATHIflGjlCeiDEflFS Several People Suffer Injuries While Enjoying Beach at Lake.

Although the bathing season is practically over reports of accidents still continue to come in. Clay Hubsch, a 16-year-old boy who lives at 6042 Jefferson avenue, suffered a sprained neck Sunday afternoon when he struck his head against the bottom of the pier after dving from a pier at Nichol's beach. He was removed to his home. Joseph Holihan, 32 years old, who was walking along in a drunken condition on Harbor avenue, stumbled and fell cutting his head open. He was removed to the South Chicago hospital. Joseph Ketter, 62 years old, at noon yesterday had an unlucky fall from a railing on which he was sitting in front of 188 Ninety-second street. His injuries amounted to several broken ribs and a fracture of the sterum. He was taken to the Cook county hospital. GARY HAS ANOTHER SHOOTING ENCOUNTER Gary had another shooting scrape Saturday night when one of two men are believed to have shot Hulda Edisch in the leg, in Hungary Row, in the north part of the city. Hulda Edisch is said to have been involved in a quarrel with Mike Lubnerich and Mike Mandich and in the melee one of the men whipped out a revolver and shot Edisch. Edisch was taken to a doctor, where his wounds were dressed. He will not suffer any permanent evil results from his injuries. BABY VICTIM OF RUNAWAY ACCIDENT The three-year-old baby boy belonging to Mike Bough of Gary, and himself called Mike Bough, was the victim of a runaway accident yesterday afternoon when the horse belonging to William Odzinski ran away down Madison street and struck the boy while he was at play. The child suffered a double fracture in his leg and he was so scratched and bruised that it was necessary to take thirty stitches in his little body. The child was taken to the hospital, where It is believed that he will recover. KISSING DAY AT H'JNGERFORD. Curious Old-Time Custom Which Still Prevails in an English Village. The little town of Hunsrerford was recently the scene of the quaint cele bration of Hocktide. , The property of the manor whirh comprises a valuable trout fishery, has lately come within the purview of the cnarity commissioners, who have established a scheme for the future administration by popular trustees, but with the proviso that the holdings of the manorial court, with Its picturesque old world customs, should ba allowed to continue. The functions began with a series of blasts on the historic horn, and then the tutti men, armed with staves, set forth on their perambulations, their duty being to demand a penny from every male householder and a kiss from each lady who crossed their path. As a rule the privilege is granted with much good humor, and husbands look on with equanimity. Meanwhile the Hocktide jury were sitting in solemn conclave, appointing the constable and coroner and other ancient officers whose duties are more or less obsolete. London Standard. POSTMEN'S WALKING FEATS. One in English Service Holds Record with 440,000 Miles In 58 Years. There must be few, even among "men of letters," who, like Joseph Hunt, a Lincolnshire, England, postman, can claim to have tramped a distance of, roughly, 240,000 miles, not much less than the equivalent of ten journeys around the earth. Not long ago George Thompson, retired from service as postman in the Langrick district of Yorkshire, after covering on foot 125,000 miles in 26 years of letter carrying, a service 14 years shorter than that of his Lincolnshire rival. In 34 years Orme M. Brown walked 11,000 miles as postman between Cupar and Kilmany and Logie a distance, as was stated in the appropriate presentation to him of an easy chair, nearly equal to half that which separates the moon from the earth. John Simmonds of Henley-on-Thames retired with a record of 181,000 miles of fair "heel and toe," the result of 40 years' tramping; while most amazing of all. Thomas Phipps, a postman in the Chipping Norton district, was credited with an aggregate journey of 440,000 miles between the years 1840 and 1898. Trees Have Fast Growth.

.' if . abut jfe-jrr??-' TRACK CROSSINGS MAKES ROW. (Continued from pare ! finally consented to have Commissioner Stirling present With concilatory speeches he endeavored to secure O'Girr's sanction to the laying of the track. He told of many nice things that the road had done for the city and Mr. Meyers then promised that he would observe the following changes: Promises Are Made. 1. He would see that all the East Chicago men, formerly emDiovwi hv th road, would be reinstated in their old positions. The Times representative is Informed that Meyer offered the men their positions a few days ago. He promised them a rate of 20 cents per, two cents less than the new men are receiving, and they naturally refused his offer. 2. He would install Harry Lemon, who built the East Chicago line, in a responsible position. "We have nothing better to give him right now," said Mr. Meyer, ' but we will take care of him." This point alone has long been a source of antagonism to East Chicagoans. Lemon has lived in this city and the Harbor for the past six years, put the road on a running basis, followed its prosecution completely and as soon as his local work was complete, was ousted and given a position much lower than that formerly occupied by him. His reinstatement in his former position would be hailed with appreciation by residents of this community. AVIll Letter Car for City. 3. Mr. Meyer would also have the words "East Chicago" placed upon the side sof all the large cars running between South Bend and Hammond. East Chicago was the first city in Indiana in which the Hanna line received its franchise. While the fight was vigorous in South Bend against allowing the road the privilege of entering the city, the East Chicago council, when appealed to by Mr. Lemon, granted a franchise. In lettering the cars, however, this city, one of the most important junction points on the line, inasmuch as it draws the traffic of Whiting, Indiana Harbor and even Hammond, was forgotten. Business men of this city have been especially vindictive in their criticism of this evident oversight of the company and declare that it will be an additional advertisement for them if the name of this city Is placed on the mamoth cars between here and South Bend. Couldn't Get Permtalon. Despite these promises, the road was unable to secure permission to complete the work and were commanded to place their material on the work-car and return to Gary. They refused to place the road in proper condition, however, until Officers Tweedale and Rybeskl appeared on the scene and threatened them with arrest for destroying the city's property. Forty-four warrants have been is Tues

Scene From "Sure Shot Sam," Now sued from police headquarters against John Doe, each calling for arrest on a charge of tearing up Chicago avenue. These will doubtless be served today and the offenders made to suffer for attacking the city's rights. Alderman O'GIrr was seen by The Times representative and declared that j he would demand the prosecution of the company's officials for their infringement of the laws of the city. He characterized the attempted "steal" as unwarranted in view of the leniency which has been always shown the road and promised a sensational outcome if the Hanna line persisted in the flagrant violation of its franchise. A LONG GOLF DRIVE. James Braid Made It in 1905, But the Ground Was Frozen. In an autobigraphical sketch at the end of his new book on golf James Draid tells of his longest drive. "So far as I can recollect," he writes, "it was in 1905, when playing a round at Walton Heath with Mr. Riddell. The course was frostbound and the wind was at our back3 when we were playing the fifteenth hole, and I hit my tee shot a distance of 395 yards, carefully calculated afterward. "Of course you can drive a ball wonderful distances when the turf is frozen, and such a feat as this Is no test of one's general capacity, but, on the other hand, it was so cold that I could scarcely grip my club, and I feel sure that If I could have held it properly I should that day have driven very much further. "At the eighteenth hole In the same round I drove to the bunker guarding the green, which was another drive of nearly the same length. As to what distances I have driven under normal conditions I really do not know. "Once when I was playing a match against Harry Vardon, at Hythe, I made a carry which was generally remarked upon at the time as being something very much out of the or dinary, but I do not remember what was the exact length of it." Woman's Limitations. Any woman thinks she's capable of reforming a man, but when it comes to reforming herself she employs a dressmaker. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
