Ful-
Attorney Peter Crumpacker usually manages to get there in the trial of a lawsuit, but when it comes to catching a train he is generally seen making a dive for the handlebar on the rear-end of the last coach on the last train. Frequently he fails to connect even with that. Mr. Crumpacker's legal friends make a standing joke of his inability to catch a train. Crumpacker was never in
his whole life seen waiting at the de-
It is said that one day when Attor-
ney Peter Crumpacker had an import-
ant suit on trial at Crown Point, he overslept and awoke to find that he had just fifteen minutes to dress and catch
his train.
Mr. Crumpacker never got into his
clothes so quickly before. He left
the house while in the act of button-
ing his collar. A glance at his watch
showed that his train would be along
in five minutes.
It was very apparent that he would
not have time to go all of the way
downtown to the depot and so he cut across Harrison park and made a bee
line for the Erie railroad track. He
arrived just in time to see the engine
of the train he wanted coming around
the curve.
The Hammond lawyer was deter-
mined to stop the train. He stood in
the middle of the track and waved his little satchel. The engineer was so used to seeing Mr. Crumpacker running for his train just as it was pulling
out that he recognized him at once.
The train was stopped and the portly Hammond attorney climbed aboard. The people on the train looked out of the
window ln astonishment. They knew the Erie local stopped at every cattle guard along the road, but they did not know there was a cattle guard at that
particular point in the line.

town or a lake. It is simply the name which several young women in Hammond have adopted for their cooking club. The first regular meeting of the
Inter Se club was held with Miss Anne Culenlne at the residence of J. D. Smalley on South Hohman street. This meeting resulted in a reorganization
to

The Ladles' Guild of St. Paul's Episcopal church held a holiday sale in the parish room of the church yesterday afternoon and evening which proved to be quite a success. Fancy and useful articles, suitable for Christmas gifts were sold from which a neat sum was realized for the benefit of the church. Home-made cakes and pies were sold at one booth and at another home-made candies were sold by the ladies during the afternoon. The young ladies of St. Agnes Guild had charge of the booth during the evening. The affair was well attended during the entire sale.

Colonial Festivities
J Colonial society was nothing if not brilliant. What its hospitality lacked in modern convenience it more than made up in the elegance of rich mahogany and impressive silver expressions of solid worth and character. J In every feature of outline, of decor- '. ation, and substantial worth, the . "Colonial" pattern in Towle Sterling Silver is true to the traditions handed ' down from Old Colony times. J The "Colonial" is taking a very ' prominent part in the festivities of our own times, being much in demand for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries
and fete days-always a most appropriate selection! In sterling only.

Professor McElroy's prediction was
correct. In the last of the series of basket-ball games the sophomores defeated the juniors by the score of 20 to 17. The game was without doubt the liveliest of the season, first one side being ahead and then the other.
The first half closed with the score:
Sohps., 9; juniors, 7. In the first part of the second half the juniors braced up and forced the score to 13 to 9 in their favor, but the Sophs, came back
and at the end the score was 20 to 17.
Three points in favor of the Sophs. The second game was between the seniors and freshmen. Here the seniors just
walked away with the little "freshies'
by a lively tune, but the freshmen scored five in the first half. The line-
ups were as follows: Juniors Meyn, c; Summers, rf; Fred rich. If; Bauer, rg; Zoll. Ig.
