Happenings of a Day in Lake County's Lively Capital

SHUCKS

From the Diary of Si. Lenc

When er feller hes hed frum eighteen to twenty perfectly nice, choice spring pullets innocently coaxed frum hts hen coop inter th' hands o' one o them chicken thieves, he ain't s' up on th quality o mercy an' suspended sentences ex he might be. Hek Spence sei a suspended sentence on a third time offense Is simply t' give th" poor feller a chanst f do it agin, an' thet th" best jedge he knows uv fer pullet purlolncrs is er well loaded shotgun. Orrin McColly and Ephriam Slade were both given their freedom at the hands of Judge MrMahan in the circuit court yesterday, with a suspended sen

jifter their past record, is being ques

and it will .not be at all surprising if more drastic measures are taken next time the fellows are suspected of being guilty of a like offense. Both

men's records are bad. this being Mc

folly's third offense, he having served

time in the penitentiary and county

jail for theft, his last offense, short of a year ago, being for chicken stealing, blade's record Is not enviable, he having a court record besides beings suspected of many shady transactions In the past. .We believe in a certain quality of mercy being shown to young offenders In all cases where It is their first breach of the law, but In this case the mercy seems to have been strained to the point where It will become necessary for citizens to take the law Into their own hands to obtain- reprisal and protection of their property from tl.e hands of old offenders like McColly and Slade. Crown Point people and farmers living in the vicinity have been the repeated victims of chicken stealing in the past and from the sentiment

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Ginger poultices are as efficacious as

mustard and will not blister. They should be made in the same way.

When hanging out clothes hang

skirts by the bands, nightdresses bv

the shoulders, and stockings by the toes.

When ironing never use a dirty sheet

or your clothes will be a bad color. An Ironing sheet needs constant 'washing.

Clean enameled saucepans with a

rag dipped In powdered pumice stone, after they have been well boiled out, and they will look like new.

A good hint to those who have a tear In their dress is to darn It as near as possible like the weave of the cloth with a thread of the material Itself. When washing woolens, especially stockings, shake thoroughly to get rid of the dust, before putting them into the water. To clean fawn colored suede gloves put the gloves on the hands, and. rub them all over with a mixture of fuller's earth and alum, then brush off the powder, and the gloves should took as good as new.
