But falling heirs to a million does not seem to have given these people the thrill supposed to come to the very

They are actually afraid of the
money.
In an interview Mrs. Ascher says: "I
suppose we must take the money. But I can tell you I want nothing but my husband and ' children. We are very happy. I am afraid of a future with
much money, and so is my husband." Continuing, the good woman says:
"We are not rich. We have simply enough to eat and a fairly good place

not money that makes people happy.

RANDOM
THINGS AND FLINGS
West -Hammond woman who, while doing business with the Chicagoans,
was victimized by them, presents a lesson in itself which should be of
value to Lake county people. It is rather a mystery when there are
business houses which deal in diamonds in all the cities of the Calumet
region why one of their . residents should go to Chicago and deal with people who are strangers to them and who charge them more in the long run for what they buy than would the local dealers. It is another lesson of the
value of trading at home. The victim of the Chicago diamond house could have purchased the same gems in this county for the same price and on the
same in stallment plan. She would then have had the satisfaction of knowin
that she was doing business with a reputable concern, one that would have
been glad at any time to exchange or make right the deal without the necessity of having to employ a lawyer and going into court to protect her

A SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL procedure in the reward of the winners in

The other letter was received by Rev. W. O. Waters, rector of Grace Episcopal church in Chicago. Postoffice Inspecor James E. Stuart, who has done his utmost to keep the addressee of the two letters a secret, said that he believes he knows the identity of the writer. Work is being done to establish the Identity of Lauterbach's friends in an effort to. find out whether an organization of "The Knights of the White Death" really exists, or whether the letters are the work of a dangerous crank.

Appointed By Governor Hnnly to At- I tend National Rivers nnd Harbors Congress nt Capital. Whiting, Ind., Dec. 7 (Special)
Mayor Fred J. Smith, who received
natice on Tuesday of his appointment by Governor Hanly, as delegate to the National Rivers and Harbors congress, will leave tomorrow morning for Washington. , The congress will last for three days, beginning on Wednesday and ending on Friday. Mayor Smith has been instrumental In promoting the principles of better harbors and waterways in this region, and all interested were much pleased to hear of his appointment as a dcleI gate.
"Those particular newspapers habitually ami continually and iu n matter of business practice every form of mendacity known to man, from the suppression of the troth nnd the sugeestlon of the false to the lie direct." fc "Of the editorials thus sent me there is hnrdly one which does not contain some wilful and deliberate perversion of the truth," "The statement about the alleged promise to the western senator is ns ridiculous n falsehood as the rest of the story." "Really this is so ludicrous ns to make one feel a little impatient nt having to answer It."
"The mere supposition that any American received from the French government a 'rake off' Is too absurd to be discussed." "It Is au abominable falsehood nnd It is n slander." "I doubt if they themselves remember tbclr own falsehoods for more than a brief period; and I doubt still more w farther anybody else does." ".Mr. Delnvan Smith and the other people who repented this falsehood led about the president's brother--in-lnw. Ills conduct has been not merely scandalous, but Infamous." "Mr. Deiavan Smith is a conspicuous offender against the laws of honesty and truthfulness. He occupies the same evil eminence with such men as Mr. I. a Iran of the New York Sun."
