WOULDN'T IT MAKE HIM LAUGH. A bright young man. who calls himself Raffles, and who poses as a mystery is in Hammond these days, with an offer of $5 in gold to any person who makes him laugh. It does not follow of course that Raffle's is a glumphiz and a grouch, but he believes that he is able to control his risibilities so that he will give the stony stare to the funny and ridiculous. We believe that the solemn Sir. Raf3es can be made to giggle and to lose absolute control over his facial muscles and burst into cachinnatory glee. We believe that he can be made to laugh. Tell him that the city authorites in Gary
have no power to stop gambling in that city. Wouldn't that make him titter?
Tell him that the people of Crown Point who have to pay for it.are highly indig
nant because new street paving is not put in right away. Wouldn't that make
him smile? Say to him that Alderman J. Papp of Hammond has absolutely
refused to accept the democratic mayoralty nomination for Hammond. Would
n't that make him cackle? Tell him that Postmaster Davidson of Whiting
simply can't eat nowadays, because Mr. Nedjl's commission hasn't arrived. Wouldn't that make him hee-haw? Tell him that Johnny Fitzgerald of Ham
mond has decided never to go faster than 5 miles an hour with his auto this
summer. Wouldn't that make him stake his sides? Tell him that Billy Gost-
lin has been palming himself off as an Irishman all these years, when he is a
Horwat in disguise. Wouldn't that make him chuckle. Do we get the V, Mr. Raffles? If we don't, we will try again.

IT IS BEST THAT WAY AFTER ALL.
It was very thoughtless and neglectful of us to forget to announce that the stalwart democracy of Gary which put in a claim for Mr. Bryan's mule, has lost out. Mayor Tom Knotts, ms.de a gallant and noble effort to capture
the beast, but fell down hard. Col. Bryan has awarded his prize mule to
Esmeralda Co., Nevada, for showing the greatest democratic gain at the last election. The intelligent jackass is now on a flat car on the way from Fairview, Nebraska, to Esmeralda county, making a noise Ilka a fat lady reading the Payne tariff bill section relating to the tax on stockings. As a humble Lake County newspaper, we desire to extend our sympathy to Mayor Knotts and our congratulations notwithstanding his defeat, for his noble efforts and also for the fact that the soft matutinal slumbers of Cap. Norton, Geo. Manlove, Gus Heart and other prominent Gary republicans, are not to be awakened by a democratic jackass hee-hawing over their discomfiture.
ON CKOOSING A WIFE. Nothing is better established by human -experience than that, other things being equal, a wife will make or mar a man's whole life. Therefore the wisdom of a careful choice. Firstly, as the preachers sayDo not expect to find a perfect wife.
As the Irishman put it, she has never been born and her mother is dead.
Even could you find the perfect wife
Ehe would soon become imperfect.
But if you will permit plain speak
ing there are some things that may be considered in the choice of a wife.
Let us take the matter negatively. Do not marry for mere beauty.
Beauty of face and form are nothing
without beauty of character. If you
can get both, well, but external beau
ty without a beautiful inner spirit
may prove a snare.
Do not marry for money. If other essential qualities go with
It, money is no drawback. But money
cannot buy domestic happiness, and
it may be the means of much strife. Select a wife who is prudent and thrifty, and she will help you make your fortune.
Do not marry a foolish woman. A silly, superficial wife may easily
ruin the prospects of a home. There
are many difficulties especially in the earlier phases of married life that require large common sense and good judgment. The foolish woman is a poor partner. Do not marry a lazy woman. An indolent, lounging girl is apt to make a shiftless, slouchy wife whose household will always be in disor
der. Nothing so takes the heart out of a mau as a lazy wife. Do not marry an unhealthy woman. Let us put the whole matter affirmatively. Choose a wife who is wise, industrious, healthy; a wife who will help, a wife who will be kindly and patient, a wife who will grow in comradeship, a wife who will be gentle and generous and sympathetic, and last, but not least, a wife who will be affectionate. I Commonplace qualities? '; Surely. Nothing is said of brilliancy, or social graces, or ability to dress, or conversational acquirements. ; These gifts are worth while If ac
companied by the substantial qualities of wifehood, motherhood, womanhood.
Choose ye!
FOREST FIRES DANGEROUS. Forest fires destroyed a large tract
of timber seven miles east of Ooakland City Tuesday night. The fire was
aided by a strong gale and was not brought under control until early this morning, although many farmers fought desperately to check its progress. DEAD SON'S DEBTS MANY. Three more suits on notes have been filed against Matthew G. Miller of Lebanon as surety on notes of his son, Joseph S. Miller, deceased. The court has complied with the request that Miller be compelled to answer a number of interrogatories propounded In the suits filed Saturday. MAY YET ELECT POSTMASTER.
Winchester politicians were greatly
Interested in the article in The Star
yesterday to the effect that republic
ans in Wabash county; had rejected Senator Beveridge's plan. of holding an election to select a postmaster for North 'Manchester. Two such elections have been held in Randolph county re
cently, and in each case the results
have been extremely satisfactory.
S Al SAGE PRESERVED FOR YEARS
While digging a celllar in the northern part of Columbus workmen discovered a quantity of sausage, packed in lard, which had evidently been burled
many years ago. It was in an excel
ieni state or preservation ana was relished by one of the workmen's dogs. A sample of it has been sent to
the state chemist for analysis. PASSENGER BUSINESS GOOD.
An official of the Monon, who was
in Indianapolis yesterday, reports the
passenger business of the line as im

present train schedule the passenger
business is to increase quite hand
somely. KOKOMO PRODUCES ARTIST.
Miss Helen Comingore of Kokomo

WANT TO KNOW TRUTH.
More than 200 business men, bankers
and merchants of Lafayette met las
night and organized the Tippecanoe
County Taxpayers' league, which took
up the truthful and educational stand
point of county option, and it later will present that phase of the case to the farmers and taxpayers of the county. The meeting tonight was closed to pvery saloonkeeper and brewery man in the city. FIGHT MAY BE FATAL. Gordon Martin of Michigan City is
SENATOR BEVERIDGE ANNOYED. We fail to see why a man like Senator Beveridge, should be hounded by factional fights in a petty postofflce matter like the north Manchester affair. There are eight candidates who want the postofflce there, and such a rumpus is being stirred up by the applicants for the insignificant plum and the Jewish folk of that section of the state are standing up on their hind legs and roaring. What is North Manchester to Senator Beveridge? He has offered to let the people there vote on the proposition and settle
it for themselves, but this does not seem to be satisfactory to some of the
men who want the job. They are hanging on to the brilliant senator's coat-
tails, as does a pack of dogs to a piece of meat. Funny Isn't it, what a lot of parasites these pie-counter warmers are, isn't it? It must be a gay life
to be a senator, or a congressman and have to listen to some of these un deserving harpies.
WHO WANTS TO BE MAYOR?
Some of the politicians in the various Calumet region, seem to be rather
slow about "backing in," this year and a lot of U3 whose hands are gratefully
primped up and down during political campaigns by the glad candidates won
der why. There are a number of offices in the various municipalities this
year for which no one seems to be making any clamor that can be heard three blocks and it is rather unusual in Hammond, in Gary, in Whiting and in
East Chicago, there seems to be no one who wants to run for mayor on the republican ticket and it may be necessary to run around with a fine tooth comb and see if some kind republican wont please take the nomination. The
democrats seem to have the republicans all chased into the innermost fast ness of the woods.

Porte suffering from injuries which may prove fatal and which were received in a fight with James Coffey.

MAY OlST COMPANY. In closing issues in the traction
ouster suit today Terre Haute gained another victory against the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company when Special Judge
Woodfln D. Robinson overruled the mo
tion of the defense to require the
plaintiff to separate and paragraph the
first paragraph of the amended com
plaint and set June 3 as the date for
the trial.
WILL IS A WONDER. The wonderful grasp of details pos
sessed by the late James Oliver, plow manufacturer ,and philanthropist of
South Bend, is shown by the settlement of his estate, estimated to be worth ,60,000,000, and said to be the largest ever before the courts of Indiana. Notwithstanding the size of the fortune not a single claim was filed against it and the executor, Joseph D. Oliver, son of the dead man, has been discharged. RUES AGAINST CLERKS. Judge A. II. Plummer at Wabash yesterday held the law passed by the 1907 legislature, which attempted to recover fees alleged to have been illegally held by past clerks of the supreme and appellate courts, to be un
constitutional. He made this ruling on a demurrer to the complaint in the case of the state of Indiana against
Alexander Hees of this city, former
clerk of the supreme and appellate
courts, retiring in November, 1898. TERRE HAUTE SANITARY.
"Terre Haute is today more than 100 per cent better as far as sanitary conditions are concerned than it was a
year ago, and is to be congratulated
upon having obtained the Interest of the mayor, the board of health and the
sanitary inspectors in the sanitary reform," stated John Owens, state sanitary inspector, before a meeting of the Terre Haute food and sanitary committee at he Commercial club rooms today. The meeting was atas well as the city sanitary inspectors, tended by representatives from the various women's clubs of Terre Haute,

YES, CHARLEY IS LUCKY?
We are glad that Hamilton counts has been recognized In the state patrona, and therefore congratulate Charles J. Wheeler on his appointment as custodian of the state house. Charley is a lucky boy. Some one remarked that he didn't believe Wheeler would get wet if he fell in the river. Noblesville Ledger. We don't know yet, whether Charley has made arrangements to move his family to Indianapolis, so that he can enter upon his new dutes, but we don't know that he is so very lucky after all. Perhaps it would be as well for Charley not to bank too strongly on his job, seeing that another man has been also appointed for the job.
A READER OF THE TIMES, says, that tle law-violating saloon should be weeded out of the cities of Lake County, but he advocates the getting together of friends and neighbors and not allow homes to depreciate in value by considering that voting out of large industries and business that employ a great number of men. He declares that the man who wants to vote to put other men out of business and injure his neighbor is not a good citizen.
THIS IS MY S9T1I BIRTHDAY. Daniel K. Pearsons.
Dr. Daniel Kimball Pearsons, the eminent philanthropist who has been
seriously ill at his winter home at Pasa
dena, was born April 14, 1820, at Bradford, Vt. He graduated in medicine
from Dartmouth college, and for a time
practiced medicine in Chicopee, Mass.,
after having taught school five years.
In 1857 he decided to go west. He became a farmer in Ogle countj-, Illinois, but after three years gave It up and went to Chicago, which city has been

was about to abandon a lucrative position he held in a draper's shop for the cockpit. 'So you are going to sea, are
you?" asked the admiral. "Yes, sir." "To what department of industry, may
I ask, do you now devote your energies?" "To silk, sir," responded the lad.
"Well, go to sea," responded the admiral, "and it will be worsted." M. A
