INTERURBAN NIGHT RIDERS.
There isn't a city in the Calumet region that hasn't been annoyed with
lnterurban night riders and It seems that it is about time that the rail
roads suppress them. A contemporary says:
"There isn't a line that hasn't been hurt in reputation by the fact that
roysterers who deserve rather the term irwine have been permitted to shout, sing, insult women and harass passengers and trainmen. It seems to
be the custom for the conductors to admonish these nuisances. It doesn't
seem in the least the custom for the conductors to throw the offenders off
the car and restore riding upon the roads to something else than an affliction
"It is a notorious fact that discipline upon the electric lines is lax lm-
measurably so as compared with discipline upon the steam roads. There Is
, no excuse for this state of things. If the electric roads think it best for
their earnings' sake to let rowdies run their cars when the Impulse takes thm, to the distress of employes and the annoyance of decent and orderlv
passengers, they have adopted an extremely shortsighted policy." LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
The Hammond city administration deserves a great deal of credit for j )ZP

SLEEP. Young man-
Be careful how you waste your
hours of sleep, because
Tou weaken your powers and lessen
your chances of success in life by
trying to cheat Nature of her flue.

me. 1 can stay up aa nignt-' . cut u does hurt you.
If you hare a certain sum of money

method, you will live long in the land. If you spend It in prodigality you

Chief nourisher ot life's (east
What Macbeth said of it ig every whit literally true. You can go without food a long time, but not without sleep. Nowadays
the "fest cure" is popular. Men and ,
women easily go without food for thirty days and more. How long can you go without sleepl Not thirty days, nor fifteen days, noi eight days. Moreover, the medical books tell us the food we eat is transformed Into tissue while we sleep. That is tha war Nature makes sleep "the chief
nourisher of life's feast." changing the
food into flesh and blood and nerve and muscle.
When you lose sleep there Is "mal- j assimilation" the food is not changed, i "How about Napoleon?". J You have seen statements that he lept but four hours out of twer,ty-. four? Perhaps. But it Is true that he , was punished. Deprived of necessary j sleep. In some of his battles Austerlltz was one be dozed during the fighting. 1
One of the weak, indecisive figures of history Is this same Napoleon fleeing In sheer panic from Moscow or
feeling feebly for bis stirrups on the evening of Waterloo. Nature will have her due even from the Napoleons and the Alexanders. Get plenty of sleep. If you must lose some, make it op. Fortify yourself for the future days of strain that must come to you. Lay up in store a stock of manly vigor.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
A society called the "Gideons" which Is composed of Christian Commercial Travelers has recently started a crusade to place Bibles in the guestrooms of all the hotels in the country. Many thousand have been gladly accepted by the qfanagers of all classes of hotels from the most fashionable and expensive hoatelries to the one night lodging houses. In New York that Hotel Savoy received a hundred Bibles, the Plaza 700, and the Hotel Astor S00.
Now, when they get all the hotels In the country supplied, I have another suggestion for the Gideons and that is that they start a crusade to place Bibles in our homes. I really think that everyone' would be astonished if a census could be taken showing haw many homes
houses I would say are absolutely without a Bible.
You see, the furniture dealers, who advertise to fit out our young peaple for housekeepers at the rate of fortynine or ninety-eight dollars for four, rooms, probably don't Include Bibles in that furnishing. And as for the huge family Bible which used to be such a common wedding present well . how long since you've seen one at a wedding? But not all of the houses that lack a Bible are of the four-rooms-for-ninety-eight dollars class. I was visiting In a beautiful house the other day, when same question of Bible history arose. f
We argued over it for a few minutes and then decided to look it up. Whereupon the mistress of that beautiful place came forward and actually , declared that there wasn't a' Bible In . the house. I am happy to say that she did have the grace to be very much ashamed. Family religion. It seems to me, Is fast dying out. The beautiful old custom of grace before meals has become almost . entirely a thing of the past. Family prayers are almost unknown even In the most avowedly ' Christian homes. Is the Bible to go out of the home too? Will we have to go to church to read the Bible some day? If we don't believe In the Bible as
an Inspired book surely you do want It as the most beautiful book of moral precepts that has even been enunciated. A step further If you don't want the Bible, for either religious or moral reasons, surely you can't afford net to have one of the finest pieces of literature in the English language, one of the most magnificent collections of prose and poetry ever compiled. In your home? My friend declared that she was going to buy a Bible the very next day. but I fancy it will be safe to send the Gideons to her when they start on the home crusade. ?eed I send them to your home?

the head with a brick. Croy also seized a brick, and the officer chased him into the Henry Johns saloon and
over-powered him. Officer Dudley came to the rescue, and ,the trio were finally landed in jail. Sipes is the man who attacked Prosecutor Regester several weeks ago. KII.v.n BY ELECTRICITY. Edgar McOscar, age thirteen, son of Daniel McOscar, of Bedford, proprietor of a poolroom, came in contact with a live wire while entering an alley in the business district of the city last night and was killed. The boy stepped with his bare root
on something that gave him great pain and reached down with his hand to pull it from his foot. It proved to be a telephone wire that had broken from a pole and in Its fall to the ground had crossed the electric light wire which
carried two thousand volts. "WOMJV 5T BLACK" A MVSTERY. The people of Warren are not a little perplexed over the appearance in that city and vicinity of a beautiful, girlish "woman in black," apparently about 17 years of age. Yesterday a company of 8e-venty-five citizens of the little town started to make a thorough search for the mysterious woman, but failed to locate her. She has recently been seen on the Edward Choplin farm, east of Warren, and later on the John Huff man farm in the same locality. She
was seen near the George Murray home In Warren late Tuesday evening. SHOCK MAY KILL. DAUGHTER. Mrs. Mary Shaneyfelt, of Hartford City, 25 years old, is dying at her home, where her father, C W. Ayres. 64 years old and a pioneer grocer, lie a corpse. Mr. Ayres was rushed to Muncie last night for an operation. He died yesterday morning, and the shock, it Is feared, will cause the daughter's death. Prof. B. W. Ayres of Taylor University, Upland. Is a brother.
