HEARD BY ETJBE.

A South Chicago man was given $10 and costs by Judge Wells for not keeping himself clean. He looked like the muddy end Of a street car. Up to the time of going to press the site for South Chicago's new postoffice has not been selected. That Methodist minister ' at Hegewisch will find .he has undertaken a big task when he tries to convert Bat tling Nelson and his following. Something must be wrong. South Chicago hasn't furnished any maddog stories to the Chicago papers for the past week. - - The object of these two or three lines Is to remind you that a want ad in The Times will bring you results. Rocco Navigato's case came up for trial again and it is said some of the evidence introduced concerning the Kensington orgy was pretty rocky. Many a man's wife in South Chicago goes to church on Sunday without him, because he can't persuade her to stay at home. Tell your wife to remind you to register next Saturday. In South Chicago the open car evidently is not as quick to take the hint as the straw hat. The Calumet and Gaiety theaters are drawing unusually good crowds at the present time and their shows well de serve it. People who are dissatisfied with this brand of weather have the privilege of making a respectful protest through the medium of a want ad in The Times. And still a number of new dwellings are being erected on the east side There has been more buildings and dwellings erected In that section than ever before. The fair young South Chicago damsel with the rolled up sleeves and the big bowed slippers is no more to be seen. . Not enough doing at the South Chicago police station for a good fake story. From all reports the diphtheria scare In South Chicago is at an end. A number of the patients afflicted have entirely recovered. Frey to "Walter E.

Scotland Yard Detective Is Buncoed, and That Leads to a Story. Cecil Page, a Scotland Yard detective, was buncoed In New York out ol a large sum of money. Discussing the trick that had been played on him, Mr. Pape said the other day: "I'd get back at those chaps if I had the time. A Scotland Yard detective is a dangerous individual to bunco. If my engagements at home were not pressing, I would stay here till I landed those audacious rascals in prison. "You mustn't piay tricks on Scot land Yard, you know," said Mr. Page, more complacently. "Scotland Yard, if you try It, gets hack at you every time. It is like the story of the watch. There was a London music hall manager, Shoesmith by name, who was very fond of his joke, especially after dinner, when he had a bottle of champagne inside him. "Well, one night after dinner Shoesmith entered an Oxford street jeweler's and said to the clerk: "'My man, what are those things there those round, flat things, white on the one side and yellow . on the other?' " 'Why, sir, they are watches ; hunting case watches, sir," the clerk answered. " 'And what are they for?' says Shoesmith. " 'To indicate the time,' says the clerk. "'Fancy!' says Shoesmith. 'Do you know, I've heard of them. And how much do they cost?' " 'From five to fifty pounds, sir.' "'Are there printed directions for making them go?' " 'Oh, no,' said the clerk. 'To make them go is very simple. You merely wind them once a day with a key.' " 'And when do you wind them in the evening or in the morning?' " 'You must wind yours, sir, in the morning,' the clerk answered, gently and patiently. " 'Why in the morning?' " 'Because in the evening you are drunk, Mr. Shoesmith, and would break it."

HUM LATER Oti Rfa.t.A fn "Rp Trnmrl P.rl "Rtt All Big Republican Guns Imaginable. ROOSEVELT IMY COME TOO It Is Expected That the National Leaders Will Be Brought Into the State. The republicans are not going to be outdone when it comes to speechmak- I ing in Indiana during the campaign. They have already had Taf t at Brook and Hughes at Indianapolis, South Bend nd other places along the route, and now comes- the news that Taft is coming back for a tour of Indi ana some time during the month of October. The exact dates of his swing through Indiana have not been learned by Will II. Hays, chairman of the republican speakers' bureau, but they I will porbably be made public within a few days. Not only that, but President Roose- I velt will come to Indiana if he takes 1 the stump. That he will make a speaking tour Is not much doubted, though I no official announcement of his inten- I lion nas Deen maae. me- aemana tor lan ana wooseveit in ine various counties or tne state is big enough to

Keep botn on tne jump in Indiana for where they visited Miss Hattie Zachara month if it were possible to obtain ia3z of this city. Miss Zachariasz is

Sherman, Garfield anil Hnnly. James S. Sherman, republican candi date for vice president, will also spend more time in Indiana than was first expected. He is dated for a speech at Evansvllle next Saturday night and will speak Monday afternoon at Muncie and Monday night at Elkhart. A. C. Harris will speak with Sherman at Elghart and Congressman Samuel W. McCail, of Massachusetts, will be with him at Muncie. James R. Garfield, secretary of the Interior, will speak at Richmond, Oct. 1; Peru, Oct. 2, and Hammond, Oct. 3. Governor Hanly has agreed to go j into the campaign and has placed himself at the disposal of the state ocmmittee for the entire remaining time of the campaign Fairbanks, Beverldge, Griffiths. "Vice President Fairbanks will sneak at Lebanon next Monday and will probably make other seeches in Indiana laier on. From Lebanon he will go I into other states under the direction of I in national committee. Senator Beveridge is not dated for any Indiana speeches except the one tonight at Terre Haute, but he will return in a few weeks and is expected to speak at other points in the state. John L. Grif fiths will enter the campaign on Oct. 14, and he will devote his entire time from then until election day in speechmaking in this state. In addition to all this array of talent there are Congressman Watson, canuiua.it; lvi guveruui, ana scores or other Indiana statesmen who are making the rounds, speaking in scores of places each day. Altogether, the indications are that the republican era of spellbinding will be a hummer. COLLECTOR FOR A BREWERY. So His Wife and Children Didn't Mind His Visiting Saloons. The man had hardly emerged from the dingy saloon on the corner, when the' well-dressed lady stepped up and accosted him. "My poor fellow," said she, "do you spend much of your time in such vile places as that?" He stood and eyed her critically. "I'm in and out of 'em all day long," he then returned, a little sullenly. "God help you! Just think of the precious hours wasted in such dives of the devil! Do you spend much mon ey in saloons?" "Yes; over $10 a day." ("Merciful heaven! Are you married?" "Got a wife and five children." "And yet, while your wife and children are home crying, doubtless, for food and clothing, you are going from saloon to saloon like a sot!' "They ain't cryin' for food nor nothin!" retorted the man, huffily, "and I ain't no sot 'cause I don't drink!" "What! You don't" "And what's more, my wife and chil dren 're tickled to have me goin' into these places all day!" "What do you mean?" "And besides, by goin' from saloon to saloon spendin money I'm doin my duty to them, myself, and my em ployers, ma'am!" "What is your business?" "I'm collector for a brewery!" Among the Fats. ' Benjamin Franklin, ablest philoso pher of them all, was much inclined to increase of girth in his later yeaers, yet he could not be called obese.

The rain fell in buckets, the thunder racketed terribly, and the lightning drew zigzag lines of bright gold upon the violet sky. "So you, too, don't know what an inch of rain 13 exactly" said the weather clerk, as he looked at his rain measuring instrument. "Very few people do, it seems. I'll explain it to you. "An acre is 6,272,640 square inches. An inch of water on an acre is therefore 6,272,640 cubic inches. That amount at 227 cubic inches to the galion equais 22.000 gallons, or 220,000 pounds, or 100 tons. "An inch of rain is, in other words, rain falling at the rate of 100 tons to the acre."
