WANT ANOTHER CAB Gary and Interurban Is Ap--pealed To. Thb Times has again been requested to appeal to the Gary and Interurban to put on another car in the morning to accommodate the fifty to sixty -workmen who are compelled to b at tht mill before the cars start to run. The men say that if the cars were started three-quarters of an hour earlier there would be no difficulty in filling them to their capacity. The men who are compelled to be at the mills so early are those that start the fires and get things in shape to begin the day's work. The matter of getting an earlier car will be taken up with the officials of the line direct

GETS NEW MANAGER Gary Branch Now Run by Hammond Man. H. S. Heavenrich of the Reddy Roofing company announces that he has secured a new manager for the Gary branch of the company. This will be W. H.

Mr. Heavenrich is now mostly engaged in his work at Argo, 111., where he is superintending the roofing done on all the building of the new plant beln gerected by the American Maize Products company. ( CHICKENS STOLEN Gary. Police Startled by Mrs. i yuinn. Mrs. Patrick Quinn of Massachusetts Street, between Seventeenth and Eigh teenth streets, Gary, rushed into the police station yesterday morning and from her breathless excitement the po lice might have thought that a murder or some other horrible crime had been committed were it not for the fact that they knew the woman too well The information was finally imparted that some ruffian had stolen seven chickens from her coop, had cut oft their heads and then thrown them by the side of the coop. This had been done, she said, "just for pure cussedness." The police promised to invest! gate. TOLESTON. The South Shore company has changed the schedule for the Tolleston car.

Street cars without platforms in the ordinary sense of the word are being operated in Montreal. The means of entrance and exit consist of side open ings somewhat to the rear of the cen ter, while in addition to this there is a small exit at the forward end of the car to the rear of the motorman's box. The passengers enter the car through the central platform and, after deposit ing their fares in the box, move either front or back, the interior of the car being divided by a partition. The rear part of the car is designated for smokers. The doors are operated by the conductor through compressed air mechanism.

HEARD BY ETTEE. .

Although there were no straw hats visible on the streets in Gary on Saturday it was hot enough to cause several people to have a bad case of spring fever. It is to be hoped that the foreign ers in their eagerness for learning at the night schools will cause no riots. Now that strawberries have appeared in the Gary market it is thought that the change in our diet from prunes to berries will cause too much of a strain on our digestive powers. A Chicago man is said to have walked 145 miles to pay a debt of 14.62 that was pricking his conscience. In Gary, as is most generally the case, they walk the other way. Its only when a Ui y woman puts down her foot that it appears to be large. Dear Mr. Weather man Tou have our thanks for whatever portion of sunshine you can hand out, but please leave out the germs. Real estate is like everything else In Gary the more you get the the more you want. In order to get an early start in the spring gardening, it is said, that seevral Gary people have already raked the back yards and are now awaiting the arrival of the garden seeds from the dear congressman. And even the land on South Broad way the other side of the Calumet river, which is now covered with several feet of water, has taken a jump in price and no doubt in the course of a few days real estate offices will begin to spring up like mushrooms. And the Hon. Benjamin Franklin Shively is to make his debut In Gary tonight. And the coal that is saved now will come in mighty bandy after the ground hog has made his appearance. limvkind-Swttino So many catarrh sufferers get into the disgusting habit of hawking, spitting and snuffling that they do it unconsciously.

There is a certain bishop who is noted for his funny stories, and his latest is skid to be about an old reprobate who drcided to repent, and announced to everyone that whatever wrong he had done should be made right. So a man whom he had cheated out of large sums of money went around at midnight to demand it. "But why did you come at this hour and wake me up? Why not wait till tomorrow?" said the old sinner, crossly. "I came early to avoid the rush "I came early," replied the man, "to avoid the crush." Tit-Bits. Announced by the Chairman. Last winter a gentleman was advertised to sing at a charity concert in an English provincial town, presided over by the local city councilor, a self-made man. The first song was "The Owl." On rising to announce it the chairman was informed that the singer had not yet arrived, a fact that he duly notified to the audience. A little iater the missing baritone made his appearance and was observed by the worthy chairman, who rose with evident pleasure, and Innocently announced with marked confidence: "Mr. 'Ampton will now favor us with the longed-for 'Howl'.!" Tit-Bits. A London Fog Story. Hudson Mavim at a recent banquet referred to the fogs of London. "In one of the worst London fogs," said the inventor, "an old friend of mine tried to find his way from Trafalgar Square to the Savoy, where he had an engagement to dine. "The sulphurous air made the eyes smart and the head ache, and it brought on terrific fits of coughing.- You'could not, literally, see your hand before your face. There was a continual crashing in of windows; bels jangled; vehicles and foot passengers collided; shrieks and oaths arose. "Threading his way in the midst of this pandemonium, through the Strand, as he supposed from Landseer's lions to the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my old friend, to his great bewilderment, soon found himself descending a broad stairway. He put out his hand to the balustrade. Tea, a broad and stately stairway, with a rail of carved stone. Amazing! "Suddenly in his descent my friend collUed with some one ascending the stairway. "Hullo!" he said. "Hullo,' a gruff male voice replied. "'Can you tell me, said my friend, where I am going?" "'Certainly,' said the other. 'If you keep straight on you will walk into th

ISSEIIGERBOYIKES HOI MET ROOM Is Found by Gary Police, to Whom He Tells His Story.

SAYS HE WAS TURNED AWAY Parents Who Adopted Him When a Child, Close Door in His Face Is His Story. Sixteen year old Bruce Stearns, employed as a messenger boy by the "Western Union Telegraph company in Gary, was found Saturday night by Officers Titus and Ntstorovich sleeping in the toilet room of the Phillips building. The boy, upon the query of the officers, told them that he had been turned away from his home and had ne other place to go. Stearns at once appealed to the sympathy of the officers because of his pleasant manner and ' his apparent good traits. He was taken to the police station where he told the police of his troubles with his parents, who, he said, had. adopted him when he was but a small child and then turned him out ot the only home he said he ever knew. The police were inclined to believe the story told by the young man. Ran Away from Home One. Stearns said that his partnts who had adopted him were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Stearns, who lived in the Solomon building. He said that he had incurred their displeasure because he ran away from home and went to Chicago and when he returntd they closed the door in his face. He said that the reason that he left home at all was because of the inhuman treatment which he received at their hands. The two Gary officers entered the Phillips building about 2:30 Sunday morning and tried all the doors to the offices, according to custom. Happen ing to see a light in the toilet room, Nestorovich pushed open the door ana saw a man's feet and a bundle of clothing. Thinking that he might have captured a burglar Nestorovich called Titus and the two grabbed the boy and pulled him out. Instead of being a desperate character the boy only blinked at the bluecoats, unable for the' instant to grasp the situation. He had been sound asleep. He said that he had no other place to go, so th officers took him under their wing and made up a btd i for him at the police station, where Iht sptnt the remainder of th night stretched at full length on a bench. Thames, for I've just come out of it' " St- Louis . Globe-Democrat. A Clever Newsboy. George Fox Tucker, the legal writer, delights in a jest even .if it is on himeelf, and has enjoyed many a good laugh at his encounter with a smart newsboy, at the entrance to the Park street subway station. The flaunting of the newspapers in his face had annoyed him a good deal, and, somewhat exercised over its repetition, he said: "I can't read!" The boy at once became sympathetic, walked along at his side, still displaying his wares, and then, leaning over, said in low, confidential tone, "Pictures Inside, mister!" Boston Record. Identified. A story about a swindling tramp: This tramp was walking one day where he saw a little boy stoop and pick up something. He crossed over to the boy quickly. "You have made a find, my boy. "I have found a silver ring." "I thought so," said the tramp. "It's the one I just dropped. Now, ain't it lucky?" "What's your name?" said the boy suspiciously. "Sterling, lad." "Take it, then. It's yours," said the boy, handing over the ring with a disappointed air. Exchange. The Queen of S . A correspondent sends an amusing story of a visit which the archbishop of Canterbury recently paid to a certain Sunday school. Dr. Davidson took in hand a class of girls who were going over the story of Solomon. "Now," he asked, "who was the great queen who traveled so many miles and miles to see the king?" No one answered "Why, you all know. The queen who came to see the king?" Still no one seemed to remember. "You do know, I'm sure," persisted Dr. Davidson. "The name begins with S; and she was a very great queen." Just then a little hand shot up, and a shrill voice cried "Please, I know, the Queen of Spades.' M. A. P. That Legendary Briton. One ef the most striking examples of the obtuseness of your typical Englishman for certain brands of our American humor was the acceptance of the limerick "There was a young man from Savannah, Who slipped on a vacant banana. The words that he said When he fell on his head Wouldn't do for a Sunday school banner." by a visiting subject of bis majesty. The limerick was recited to Johnny

5 -H '5 New York, Jan. 25. The liner Republic, rammed by the Italian steamer Florida in a fog off Nantucket Saturday, tonight lies under forty-five fathoms of sea off No Man's Land, near Martha's Vineyard island, off the Mas sachusetts coast. The Republic's captain and c rew, taken off at the lost minute btfore the great ship went down at S o'clock last night, are safe on the revenue cutter Gre8ham, now on its way to port at Gay's head. Bull, who showed no signs of perturbation; but fully twenty minutes later he drawled: "Do you know, old fellow, I don't think the chap in that poem came from Savannah at all? I think that was Just put in to make the rhyme." Boston Record. SPOUTLNG BRIEFS. Manager Hugh Duffy of the Providence is a member of the board that will control nhe internal affairs of the Class AA corr.bination. Harry Schlifley, the old WashingtonToronto player, is compelled to use a crutch in walking. Jack Frost put it on one of Harry's pedals. Manager Roger Bresnahan says that he does not expect his St. Louis Cardinals to win the pennant next season. And that's what everybody else knows. Cincinnati's tew pitcher, Tom Cantwell, comes from the Georgetown university. He is 2D years of age, weighs 200 popunds and is six and one-half feet high. Manager McGraw will take sixty men south in the spring. Perhaps John is taking along the mob scene to rehearse it tor the coming Chicago series. Jim Corbett now admits he was only joking when he declared that he was willing to fight Jack Johnson. We had leally quite forgotten that Jim ever made such a declaration. George McBride has signed his 1S09 contract with Washington, but Bob Ganley and several other senators are hoping that Brother Cantillon will yet see things in the right light. "Rube" Marquard has reached Toledo on his way to New York. Considering the cold weather and the heartlessness of freight trainmen Rube has made very good time. He left Indianapolis on Dec. 10. Marvin Hart will meet Tony Ross in a six round battle at Pittsburg, Jan. 30. Jimmy Barry of Chicago is out with
