A SLAP AT GARY HERSELF. Defying all attempts at analysis is this story how one of Gary's most dis
tlngulshed citizens who fleeced In Chicago. There have been Chicagoans
fleeced in Gary, but this is the first time that a Garyite has been mulcted of
his hard earned gold by men in the big metropolis. In this case the central
figure on the stage Is the Honorable Homer Ansley, the gum-shoe statesman
and ardent baseball fan of North and Calumet township.
For a long time Judge Ansley sat on the bench in Indiana Harbor where
be established precedents that have since been embalmed in the legal liter
ature of the state of Indiana. The Judge has been always credited with more
than a surplus supply of native shrewdness and woe to the guilty defendant
who was brought into his court. His innermost thoughts could be read by
the court.
In view of all these things the world will hardly believe that Judge Ansley
has been the victim of a short change artist. Yet it is so. It seems that the
Judge goes to the Sox ball park every time those gentlemen offer a feast of their sporting skill and once they get in action he makes more noise than a rail mill. On this particular occasion the Judge lined up in front of the ticket window with a sovereign in his hand which he gave for a ticket. The functionary behind the window handed the pasteboard, but he omitted the sum of $4 25, coin of the realm, due for change. This was a mere bagatelle and a sum that Judge Ansley's valet would have given out for charity had he found it in his honor's tuxedo while pressing it. It appears that while this inslgniflcent financial transaction was taking place, Judge Ansley was wrapped in the deepest thought, in fact so profound were his meditations that , the whole performance was merely an abstract action with him md his mental" processes soared In other climes Just as do those of a Hindu priest when he is at prayer. Several hour later Judge Ansley discovered that he had been "worked" and since then storms obscured scowls and deep wrinkles have radiated across his countenance. In this Intance he does not mourn the loss of the money. It's merely the principle. So deep does the mortification rest that the once ardent fan is now the most persistent enemy of latter day baseball. To be "stung", if we may use modern vernacular, is the worst calamity that could happen to a statesman of the Judge's calibre. And, further, Judge Ansley weeps, not for the nndesired lucre that he was cheated out of, but that a citizen of Gary has been tripped on the shoals by a Chicagoan.

NOTHING LIKE ADVERTISING. President Taft has nothing on Tim Englehardt for breaking into print and if the Gary realty connoisseur was only nationally kown his name would fill more space than the man who defeated Jim Jeffries for the Marquis of Queensbury honors.
It's a rainy day that Englehardt does not break into the newspapers by
announcing his candidacy for the state senate, promoting a street car line,
seeking a franchise, exuberating about skyscrapers on Ridgev road, swatting recalcitrant democrats, selling five hundred lots before breakfast, improving his theater in Hammond, resigning the presidency of a bank, sweating about
slow bridge contractors, giving political contributions to both parties, digress
ing on the recklessness of automobiles and so on. It should also be noted that he has created an enduring and prepetual advertisement of himself by having the new hall at Tenth avenue and Broadway named the Englehardt auditorium. One should not be surprised if he should secretly spring a proposition to have the name of the city changed to Englehardt, Ind. If we were the mayor and council we would at once have Alderman Castleman introduce a resolution perpetually restraining Englehardt from ever attempting to change the name of the city. Unless its nailed down Tim will get away with it sooner or later and we shudder to think of the revolution that will take place in Indianapolis should be ever put on the toga. His first bill would be to move the state capitol to Ridge road and Broadway.

Behold the Aeroplane Bow It Has Arrived in Chicago
DRAIN THE CALUMET DISTRICT. Five hundred thousand residents of the south end of Cook county are In daily danger from the polluted water supply. The firat duty of the sanitary trustees is to provide an adequate drainage canal, and remove this daily menace to life and health. ' ' ' This ridiculous lack of common sense and business ability displayed by the drainage trustees in this vitally important matter is enough to make
Calumet taxpayers, who for years have been paying to secure good drainage for other parts of Cook county, question seriously the board's capacity. At a cost of millions of dollars a sewer was constructed to carry Calumet sewage into Lake Michigan. To "purify Lake Michigan the trustees recently announced a ditch from Blue Island to the Sag. Tha protest against this manifestly useless work has now moved them to another display of Incapacity, and they announce that an intercepting sewer will be built to carry the sewage that now flows into Lake Michigan into the Blue Island Sag ditch. Like the noble duke of York, they have marched up the hill and will march down againCalumet taxpayers are indignant at "this reckless waste of money, and will make their indignation felt when they go to the polls to vote for. three sanitary district trustees this fall. The drainage board should devote itself to the Calumet problem, and nothing else. In the fact of its remarkable showing of incapacity in this matter the presumption If displays in trying to control the construction and operation of Chicago's outer harbor is incredible.

SHOULD CUT IT OUT. The merchants in most of the towns in Kansas have banded together to cut out fake advertising and will confine their, announcements to the newspapers. The oily-tongued stranger who goes into Kansas to issue a livery stable time card will receive no encouragement. The man who offers to plant advertising on trees and barb wire fences will be thrown over the transom. The Kansas merchants are wise, says an exchange. Who ever saw a man seated at his fireside reading a board fence or the side of a barn to his children?
THE GARY TRIBUNE says: "It has become plain that Peterson will carry the full democratic strength in the.distrlct and none more" Nothing is farther from the truth and nothing shows more ignorance of the political situation in this district. Judge Peterson will NOT get the full democratic strength. We know many democrats right here in Lake county who will vole.for Judge Crumpaoker and -tfee-same obtains in other counties.

SENATOR Shively seems to be fol
lowing as closely in the footsteps of his good friend. Senator Bailey of
Texas as he can. Bailey is notoriously in with the "interests" that the democrats howl so much about. A COLORADO cowboy in lieu of a j'gger of -whiskey, drank a bottle, of hair tonic. He died soon after. Much too soon for an anxious world to know whether any hair grew on the inside
of his stomach. AN exchange tells a story of the meanest woman. "She is trying to compel her husband to let his whiskers grow because his beard is so stiff that when he shaves It reminds her of her mother winding the clock when she used to live in the country and was dissatified with her lot. MRS. Celia Goldberg, 20 years old, of 39 West One Hundred and Thirtyninth street, gave a party and laughed so hear tily at a joke one of the guests told that ' she dislocated her jaw. News Item. Here it Is again. Will they never tell what the joke is?
RISKED LIFE FOR A BIRD. William Dayton, a sailor, risked his life in Philadelphia to save a sparrow. The bird bad been caught by a tan-
vgled kite string in the top of a large
sycamore tree, wnere it nutterea neiplessly. its cries attracting a crowd. Dayton threw 'off' his coat and climbed the tree, reaching the top, seventy-five feet from the pavement. The small branches bent beneath his weight. Crawling cautiously, he caught the string and released the bird. The crowd cheered. The Humane society gave him a medal. Whereat somebody may say: "Pooh Much ado about nothing!"
Perhaps somebody has never read how Abraham Lincoln saTed the rob
ins.
It was in the early days when Lincoln, the young lawyer, was riding the Springfield circuit. In those times the
Judges and the lawyers traveled to
gether usually on horseback from town to town where the , court was
held.
On this day there had been wind and rain. As the horsemen, with many a
jest, passed along the road a mother
robin was observed to be In much dis
tress. The wind had brown her nest from a nook In the rail fence and scat
tered her birdllngs.
Lincoln dismounted and the others passed on. He picked up the nest.
gathered the little brood of nurslings and replaced them, nest and birds, lo
the place from which they had been blown. "What have you been doing. Abe?" Inquired one of the lawyers, when Lincoln caught up with the party. The latter answered nothing. But there happened to be a witness of the incident who told it in after years. A little thing? In the dictionary of Goodness there are no littie things! Even In God's great program there Is care for the sparrows. The Father of us all watches over the birds, and not one of them falls to the ground unnoted. The Great Goodness that directs the vast machinery of the universe does not consider the fall of a sparrow a little thing. And so that Philadelphia sailor, when he rescued the poor bird, and Abraham Lincoln, when he picked up the little robins, was doing a godlike thing. Why did the people cheer Dayton? Because in this common sailor they saw something great and good something of the humanity that was in Lincoln, something of the divinity that was In Christ.

railroad visited the city. Judge Field

BABY SAVES RENT. A baby boy, born to Mr. and Mrs. Asa Poffenberg of Rose Terrace Flats, in Kvansville yesterday brought with it free rent for the parents. Several weeks ago MaJ.

BIU CROWD 'ENDS CAMP. A crowd estimated at 12,000 persons Sunday concluded the Battle Ground camp meeting, which has been In session at Lafayette ten days. Dr. Francis B.

When the first peek-a-boo waists began Ito appear last spring I found the usual crop of masculine tirades against them in the magazines and newspapers. Some were on the grounds of morality, but several were on the grounds
of health. ,
Think of that from a man. I shouldn't think they'd dared to. Why do I say that? . , Well, I'll tell you why. Ask any doctor if It Isn't Just as unhealthy to be too heavily dressed as too lightly and see what he says. How any man would dare to protest against the wearing of unduly thin clothes in spring when he himself offends nature and common sense every bit as much my wearing such absurdly thick clothes In summer is more than I can understand. I was out oil the street with a man on a very hot day recently. Coatless an din my sheerest gown I was fairly, suffocated by the heat. What must he have suffered in a shirt about the thickness of my winter shirtwaists and a coat quite as heavy as what many women wear In January. , Several years ago, as perhaps you may remember, a crusade was started to make it proper for men to appear In their places of business and on the streets without their coats. Unfortunately it was a good opportunity for ridicule, and men can never endure ridicule. Talk about women being convention bound. Any one with any common sense at all knows that women aren't a circustance to men in that particular. As you doubtless remember, caricatures and the name "the shirtwaist man" frightened most men away from this move toward common sense, and the movement-died. Now it doesn't seem to me it would have, despite men's cowardice, if women had given it their enthusiastic support, and I wish another one could be started and have the thorough backing of my sex. Now don't say you don't approve of any such movement because you think it looks horrid to see a man on the street without his coat. There is nothing that you have any reason to object to in a man wearing a negligee shirt. It is simply because it is an unaccustomed sight and not In any way an objectionable one that you feel that way about It. I wish every frirl who reads this would say to her father or brothers or men friends the next time she sees any of them obviously suffering from the heat, "Why don't you take off your coat? I think it looks all right." Yes, probably they will look horrified or laugh at you the first time. Yes, of course, it would take years, maybe a generation or two to get men to do such a tremendously radical thing as to take off their coats. But if it made them sweeter tempered and more reasonable and. of course, anything that added so much to their comfort would do that don't vou think it would be worth eve n several generations of effort?
and in thirty minutes more than this amount was raised by subscription. INDIAN CHIEF DEAD. Gabriel Godfroy, chief of the Miami Indian tribe, died last night at his home four miles east of Peru after a
