Judging from the make-up of the Gary parade last Saturday not only those who pronounce it Taft will vote for him but also those who call him Tawft, Teft and TeyfL In order that the defeatd candidates may not all take to the same woods, it has been suggested that the timber lands in the county be divided up as follows: The defeated candidate for sheriff will please hie himself to the Black Oak woods; the candidate for representative will confine himself to the woods in the south part of the county reserving forty acres for the coroner aspirant; the defeated judge, auditor and recorder candidates will please divide the 160 acres near Kreutzberg among themselves, while the commissioner will please retreat to the copse east of Aetna. Xot meaning to violate the ethics of chivalry, but rather in research for a definition of the prevailing coiffure of the fair sex we find that by using a United States provincialism and clothing it with a definition from Webster, an excellent result is attained. According to this definition it is one of the allied genera of the genus mus. There, that ought not interfere without table service. Any further report from the Homewood folk about ptomaine poisoning coming after today must be considered to be "roorbacks" until November 4th, when -they will again be considered to be legitimate. In the meantime the democrats' con cede nothing. There is no hurry gen tlemen, no hurry at all. That will be about all for you Mr. Meekison. Never mind Judge Prest, it will all come back when Judge Taft is elected. ft In the heat of the campaign let ua not forget that it will be Hammond's honor to entertain the school ma'ms of the county for a few days this week. Not nithatandiiiK report to the con trary St. John township is still preponderously democratic. It U perfectly legitimate that the paragrapher of today should call attention to the event next Tuesday. Not wanting to be an exception to the rules, etc. Yep, this In democratic weather al right, but will it hold? HIGH SCHOOL TIDINGS. Ma:iy of the second team will go to Crown Point. This trip will be a reward If or coming out and practicing the varsity. A chalk talk was part of the prac tice work last night. Several new plays were invented. On account of the rain the signals were gone through with in the building. The people composing the chorus. which is-to sing for the teachers meeting, met last night at the school house. Crown Point next. The game de ciding the county championship and also the ownership. of The Times' cup will be played off at the county seat next Saturday. It will be one of the hardest fought gridiron battles ever played by Hammond and Crown Point. From reports received, the county seat boys are a strong aggregation and will be able to put up a stiff game. Nevertheless Hammond will be there "with the goods" and uphold the purple and white. The monthly "exams" are coming thick and fast, and will continue during the week. The teachers seem to like them about as well as the students. Several announcements were made for opening exercises. The principal one was one concerning the exemption grades. If one is absent now on account of sickness and has a perfect attendance the next month, the number of days absent will not keep him from being exempt. The committee appointed to arrange a play for the comedy company held a meeting last evening with Manager McElroy. As yet no play has been decided on, but as soon as possible the committee will choose one. days' visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, of Indiana avenue. Mrs. Henry Lundt and Mrs. Frances C. Ryan spent yesterday with relatives In East Chicago. Miss Anna Kruse was the guest of friends in Chicago over Sunday. Mrs. F. Ebert of Sibley street is spending a few days with relatives and friends in Michigan City. Mrs. Charles Norton of Hyde Park is spending the day with . friends in Hammond. Misses Lottie and Belle Donovan of East Chicago are expected to visit in Hammond this evening. The Expert, If we ever come across the heavensent being whom the "expert" seems to some minds to incarnate, we shall fall down and worship among the first. But officials, as we know them, are much like other people, and on the whole do their work very much better when liable to criticism and subject to supervision- and dismissal. London Nation. Try the Experiment. A Boston writer says that Goethe wrote the initials of his name, and, folding it over, was surprised to get a butterfly. It makes a very pretty occupation for an idle 15 minutes to see what you will get, and some of the designs are pretty enough to be used as embroidery patterns.

Slang Terms for Money. j "Spondulix" is interesting. Th word was first applied to shell money used on the west coast of Africa, and it got its name from the town whence ; it came, Spondula. "Sprats" is Eng- j the Norwegian svaga, to sway; from it came to mean to weigh heavily; therefore, a pack or baggage, then the booty of highway robbery. AS ROOSEVELT SEES BRYAN. .
