EAST CHICAGO COMING TO THE FRONT.

East Chicago is making the rest country sit up and take notice-

Up to Sunday the team had yet to lose a game, and although yesterday's encounter with the long established Crown Point organization, proved a loss to the East Chicago team, the latter still heads the percentage column, but

Is now forced to share the pinnacle with the doughty Hub players. The result has been that the managers of other league teams are gnash

ing their teeth in fierce resentment at the game bunch from East Chicago, whom they were at first inclined to patronize as the latest recruits into the

league, "only" a traveling team, and quence.

No one but East Chicago expected the team without a home to do much, but here it has been knocking ti e spots off all the rest of the older teams. It begins to look like a case of "the last shall be first" and unless the managers of some of the rest of the ball clubs do some judicious pruning, and a little Judicious whipping into line of those left after the pruning process. East Chicago may walk away with the penant at the close of the season.

GARY'S ADVERTISING. The kind words of W. C. Greathouse, State Superintendant of Public Instruction, In praising tbe Gary school system, as the best arranged educational institution In the state, is. but another instancu of the high, tribute that is being paid to Gary as an educational center. While there is a constant howl about Gary getting a black eye from the public advertising it gets as a result of .the city administration, Gary gets untold advertising that is about Its good qualities. One of these is the 'excellent school system.

Gary schools are used as a model not only in this country, but in England and Germany as well where the foreign press has devoted much space to the subject. Gary gets also mucb creditable advertising from the steel mills, its churches and marvelous growth and advancement. So while a few calamity howlers are mourning the fact that Gary is going to the dogs, remember that there are hundreds of cities where the same things happen, that take place every day in Gary. If Gary had not been advertised as a model city in the start other communities would not have looked up to it so much to be the model in every respect, but when bad things are being said about Gary purely through jealously, the good things that have already been told, and are still being repeated will outbalance the former a score of timesAA FOR WELL-PAVED STREETS. The commercial benefit which a city accrues by having well-paved streets and boulevards, stately buildings, parks and playgrounds, is not only a magnet which causes people to come to a city and make their homes, but it draws many others as .well within its bounderies. In an editorial of an recent issue of the Chicago Record-Herald, under the caption "City Beautifying as an Investment," says: In the recent city planning congress In London reasons enough were given for the beautifying of towns. One, however, and an important one, was not, we believe, mentioned. This i3jthe commercial benefit which accrues to a city which has become famous for the beauty of its buildings, the vista3 unfolded by its streets, Its public parks and gardens. For ages Paris has been known as the playground of the civilized world. Not only have countless thousands visited It for its ancient palaces, its storehouses of art treasures, and its historic associations, but because of the more modern beauties of its architecture, Its boulevards, and Its parks and pleasure grounds. But many of the ancient buildings which delighted the eye of the artist have had to give way to the march of progress and the needs of today. So Paris is trying to beautify its modern features that some of its landmarks of the past will not be missed. So strongly do the Parisians believe in city beautification as an Investment that the municipality has been authorized to borrow , . 175,000.000 for this purpose. A part of this, $47,000,000, has Just been raised by an issue of bonds, which, in spite of labor difficulties and other obstacles, was over subscribed twenty times. At least two leading thoroughfares are to be greatly extended, new parks established, and new government buildings erected. In America the chief opposition to improvements of this sort are likely to come from the classes which would most be benefited by them.

LAST SATURDAY THE TIMES stated that it was a mathimatlcal certainty that of the forty men driving as many automobiles at an average speed of seventy-five miles an hour for a distance of 500 miles, at least one would be killed. The prophecy has come true. One killed and five injured Is the toll

or death required lor the amusement of 80,000 spectators. Football, prizefighting and bull fighting are child's play to this newest amusements and civ

ilization has but crawled in a thousand

RANDOM THINQS AND FLINQS

HOW'S the prospects for the corn crops on the back forty? PRESIDENT Diaz Is now In the "Uncle Joe" Cannon class. e THE next on the program will be the advent of the Fatted Calf club. A NOW let's see it we can't have a nice, quiet grand-juryless summer. A WHO will be the next to get up and insist on a safe and sane Fourth of July? WONDER if Mr. Purtelle Is wearing his stick and his kid gloves down in In Jasper county. A "WASH me and I shall be whiter than snow" is the favorite chune at Bill Cain's laundry. HARD job to be a cook for a couple who live on nothing but love, paradoxial as it may seem. AA LOOK pleasant and smile, then your friends won't notice that you are wear ing a last year's straw hat. . AA DON'T fuss about the heat. It Is good for the crops. You can't have your cake and eat It, too, you know. AA , . CHICAGO spends $15,000,000 a year on the social evil I.e. outside of the courts. Great city, eh? AA SENATOR Kern's boom is moving along ro fast that it reminds us of load of hay being pulled over a muddy road. AA PROFESSOR now says they never have an rain on Mars- This, of course, obviates all necessity for any rain checks. ABOUT as good a way as any for the postoffice department to wipe out the deficit would be to wipe out the hand ling of mail altogether. AA THE great trouble about a man who neither drinks nor smokes Is that he is forever bragging about and stepping on somebody else's corns. AA AND whenever you see a man who says the weather just suits him, you can bank on it that he Is a pretty nice sort of a fellow to tie to. LONDON physician says that every human being has a halo. Maybe so, doc, but a lot of us are not wearing ours In the Calumet region. AA HOLDING public office for years makes a man's hide thick as a rhinocer ous. In other words, he hasn't any more resentment than a cow. AA . THAT crackling sound is probably our friend Tim Englehart burning up things down on the Ridge Road as a result of the Gary Commercial club meeting. AA IN a real good wind or cyclone story the breeze that Btrlpped a Gary worn an of her kimono would have reversed the process, according to Colonel Tom Ochiltree. PREACHERS at meeting insisted the applause is out of place at a church service. Sure, manifest your approval only when the elders forget to pass the plate. , AA . THE Jasper County Democrat com pliments President Taft and welcomes him into the democratic party, .but Mr Bryan still remains uninvited to the re publican fold. -AA THE Indianapolis Star says that "Indianapolis is beginning to look like the real capital of Fistiana." Again we humbly remark: It is lovely weather we are having, eh governor AA " JUDGE Gary has made another In spection of Gary, but It must be a good deal of a strain even on his optimism to be pleased with it. Indianapolis NewsA discord in the anvil chorus. ' AA AND somehow or other we cannot help remembering at this time that Mayor Knotts of Gary was one of th progressive and spatriotic democrat who protested so indignantly against the outrageous doings of the wicked republicans of Lake county. Fort Wayne News. Yes, It was none other than Thomas. AA OUR esteemed contemporary, the Crown Point Register, is not to be outdone by the Chicago papers. In its Issue of this week is an 8xl2-inch pink supplement. It will, no doubt, be remembered that would-be congressman Peterson hailed from Crown Point. Lafayette Courier. We must remonstrate and ask why Mr. Peterson should be blamed for the "pink sup."

Heart toMeart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

RETRIBUTION. He was the son of a famous and prominent family of tbe south, had the advantages of a liberal education and was gifted with more than usual abil ity. A brilliant prospect opened before him. After having served during the war with Spain as colonel of a volunteer regiment he was elected lieutenant governor of his native state. There seemed no ultimate fit place for this young man save a seat In tbe United States senate. And thenHe had a controversy with the edi tor of a dally newspaper. There was a feud between them, and one day this man shot the editor dead. The latter was unarmed. What was the occasion for the quar rel is not now remembered. It is only remembered that he killed a defense less victim. Powerful Influences Intervened. Be cause of wealth and family connec tions he escaped the legal penalty. "But Justice?" you say. "You writers who observe the do ings of men and the consummation of events write reams upon reams In seeking to prove how. In some way. retribution always catches up with the wrongdoer." Let us see. From tbe day of his crime to the day of his death this man went up and down the land with the mark of Cain on his brow. His fellows Ignored him. The people turned him down political ly. Society ostracized him. Driven to desperation, he tried to for get his sorrows In dissipation. Final ly his habits were such that his own family turned away from him. He spent his last few years In loneliness and solitude, his, only companion a faithful negro. A few weeks ago he died. There's your retribution! Who was this man? No need to write down his name. The recollection of his act, called up by his recent death, Is sufficient. , Meantime the dictum holds "Whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap." There are no loop holes of escape In that law, and It has not been repealed. Up and Down in INDIANA 40O DUCKLINGS ROASTED. Fire, believed to bo of Incendiary origin, destroyed the fowl hatchery o Earl Kitchen, of Rushvllle, yesterday, at a loss of $1,800, with no insurance. tout hundred young ducks were roast ed to death. In view of the fact that there has ben no fire in the building for ten days, Mr. Kitchen believes the fire was of lncendiary He says many people objected to the location of tho hatchery. FINNED IN POOL OF WATED. An automobile driven by Howard Lane, age seventeen years, overturned north of Richmond Saturday afternoon Lane and George Weber, a companion were both caught beneath the machine. and prompt assistance probably saved the boys from drowning In a pool of water in which the machine was partly submerged. Weber received a scalp wound and his car was badly torn Lane escaped with ft few scratches. GOAT RAISING SEW INDUSTRY. Zale Whitman of Oakland City, has a profitable business In raising goats. He has twenty-one goats and twice each year he has a herd of young ones fo the market. Raising "butters, as they are known In Oakland, Is a new in dustry. SHOT LITTLE COUSIN. Florence Allison, of Mt. Vernon, age twelve, shot and fatally wounded he counsln. Pearl Alison, age seven, wit a shotgun, at the home of their par ems. north of Mt. Vernon, yesterday morning. The parents, who are farm ers, left the children playing In the house. Florence found the shotgu and, not knowing It was loaded, pulled tho trigger. The charge struck th younger girl in the side. LOST TOE, BUT SAVES COIN. "I I had to lose a toe, I don't see why it could not have been my lltlo one, saia a. F. Collier, of Columbus. "Tha little toe has a corn ont it." Collie made this remark after a traction ca on the Indianapolis. Columbus & South ern line had run over his left foot an crushed hi great toe and nipped tho ends off two others. Collier is freight conductor He wa bringing the empty car back from Indl anapoiis when he went ahead to flag a railroad crossing. He grasped the front end of the car to climb on, but missed his footing and fell. CHILD KICKED BY COLT. Harold Conary. age three, of Frank Un, was kicked In the head by a colt and probably fatally injured. HI sister found him In the yard with hi skull fractured. HANGS DAUGHTER, KILLS HIMSELF. Harvey Parker, of Decatur, agenty twenty-seven, committed suicide yesterday by hanging himself from a rafter in the barn on his farm near Steele, eight miles southeast of Decatur. Before taking his own life, he furnished a noose for his little four-year-old daughter and swung her from a rafter in the same barn. After he had strung up his daughter, he placed a rope around his own Jjreck and Jumped from a grain box. The mother becoming anxious as to

the whereabouts of her husband and

aughter, made a search and found the two bodies swinging in the barn. Sha hastily cut down the body of her daughter which still showed signs of life, but allowed the body of her husband to hang until the coroner, J. C. Grandstaff, arrived. After the little girl had been taken the house it was found tha rone which had been placed around her neck had slipped and failed to strangle ber. Heroic efforts resulted In saving her life but she is very weak today from her experience. Neighbors say Parker was a hard working man, but a sudden attack of jealousy, coupled with too much ad vice from a relative who l'.e near. caused temporary aberration and led o the deed. He was well and favorably known at Decatur. LAYS TROIDLE TO WHISKY. Mrs. Rosa Green, of Muncio. the young widow who took her employer's horse and buggy and many valuables from hia home and drove to Anderson. where she was arrested, has pleaded guilty and thrown herself on the mercy of the court. She said that after drinking a quan tity of whisky In tho home of John Bowers, where she was employed, she imagined she owned everything on the place, including the horse and buggy which she drove away. Bowers shows. no desire to prosecute her. Higher Courts' Record. Supreme Court Minute. 21800. Clyde A. Walb vs. Georse Frank Eshelman et al. Lagrange C. C.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMr-RON

"You aren't glad to see m tonight?" said the six-foot man. "T-a-8," said the dlstractingly little lady, but said it so dubiously that, of course, he recognized it as equlvalest to a "no." "Why aren't you glad to see me to night?" - "Because what?" "You know." "I do not." "I told you over the telephone." "Surely you don't mean because I asked you to come to meet me instead had some unexpected visitor at the house for you?" 'Why not?" "But, dear, didn't I tell you that I had some un expected work that I positively had to do that kept me later than usual?" "I know, but I think It's perfectly horrid for a girl to have to go to meet a man." "But you know I don't often ask It of you, and if you hadn't come In tonight we would have missed half the flrst act and made everybody get up to get to our seats." "Well, I don't know; but It seems to me that If a man truly liked and respected a girl he would manage some way to come to her father's house and get her." The six-foot man looked down at the dlstractingly pretty little tormentor, half exasperated, half puzzled. If this had been an unusual occurrence It would not have been so trying, but It was not. This was only one of the many exasperating little spasms of unreasonableness in which the pretty little lady continually Indulged. For a moment he remembered the hours of tense straining to get that work done In time to go at all. and the scrap of sandwich which had served him for a dinner, and he because he was a six-foot man six-foot Inside as well as outside and partly because she was dlstractingly pretty, he simply said gently: effect and a large crowd Is looked for. Richard West, 42 years old. 10444 Avenue J. was struck and fatally injured by a taxlcab owned oy the American Taxtcab company of Chicago, at Ninety-eighth street and Ewlng avenue and died a few hours later of the Injuries. The entire auto, party which consisted of Paul Chlncree, 1155 North Clark street, the chauffeur, George Brandt, 841 Lill avenue; Claude West, 2032 LaSalle street; Charles Sedman, 1155 North Clark street; George E. Spaulding, same address, and Josephine Mason, 1116 Madison street, were placed under arrest by Lieutenant Smith, but gatlons . received from the cmfdfdfg they were later released upon instructions received from the coroner's Jury. West, who is an engineer on the Chicago Short line, was getting off a car and did not see the approaching machine and was dragged about 100 feet before the machine was stopped. ; His chest was badly crushed and his right ear torn off Antonla Runltx, 17 years old, 2322 East Ninetieth street, was seriously Injured when she fell from a swing on a merry-go-round at Nlnety-Isxth st and Ewlng avenue. She received a scalp wound and many other bad bruises about the body. Martin Hausler, senior mlnmber of the Hausler &'Lutz Co., and his wife and daughter and his two sisters will

"Well, little girl, we will try not to let it happen again. Whereupon the little girl, to reward him, smiled " up very sweetly and tightened ever so lightly the clasp of her fingers on his coat sleeve, and the six-footed man, thrilled In every nerve by that 100-volt current of exquisite sensation which those fingers had power to start, quite forgot he had felt exasperated even for a moment. And apparently all was merry as wedding bells. But really It wasn't. For the little girl was committing one of Judge Rentoul's 15 errors of life from which I have quoted before: "Not to yield in unimportant trifles." Just now the six-foot man finds It worth while toendure this exasperating pettiness, but some day, after , they have been married a year or two there will come a time when the current does not work so spontaneously, and the smile will have become a commonplace, and then, if the little girl hasn't grown any wiser, there will surely be trouble. Trouble may mean an overharassed love changed to Indifferent and cold courtesy. Or it may more happily mean a quick revolt that will open the little girl's eyes In time. Let us hope the latter. Many women have an idea that men rather like them to be Inconsistent and exasperating. So they do. But as a seasoning for the meal of life, not for Its substance. They are doubtless glad to have their cake spiced with the cinnamon of Inconsistency and the allspice of coquetry, and even a little of the ginger of temper and exactness. But you can win a sure wager If you bet that, there Isn't a man living wno will eat very much of the cake if he finds the cook has dumped In a cup of ginger in the place of the flour of common sense and llvableness.
