A MINISTER AND HIS MIND. To the dull and slow-moving -minds of newspaper men, the method of some minsters is simply Incomprehensible.
It had always been our impression that'the first duty of a minister waaj in nrpnh the Brtsnel. Evidently we were wrong. Then again, it may be
that there i9 no more gospel to preach.
Such seems to be the belief of one Ret. Bebee, a Methodist minister in Michigan. The proper conservation of underwear seem3 to be his special hobby. He told his congregation recently: "That it was a well known fact that many girls in Mason went without any underwear last winter that they might attend 6elect dances garbed In thin- gowns."
To sav that his congregation was startled is putting it mildly. It takes
ones breath to think what Mr. Bebee will preach about next.
We don't know Just what sort of a mind he has, but we nave our
suspicions for he went on to say: f "A man cannot be virile, dance all the evening, rind come away just as pure as he was when went in if he's any kind of a man." That statement is, at least, an insult to the thousands upon thousands of sweet girls who have danced. It is true, there may be evil in everythingeven in dancing, but the reverend should not judge all men by himself. The underwear part of his sermon,, perhaps, is intended as a joke. You will remember the much-traveled story: "A young man took his sweetheart to a ball. She wore her party dress. As they began a dance he noticed what he thought was a raveling sticking out of her sleeve. He tugged at it. It came easily, and' during the remainder of the dance, having started !4-?ind up thaft raveling, he kept at it. It wasn't until the end : of the dance that he had finished winding. ; : , - -; "Next morning the girl said to her mother: . " "Maw, an awful funny thing happened last night. You know I went to that dance. Well, when I got home and got ready for
bed I found my union suit had disappeared.-

How do you He when you sleep? And
can you lie In more than one position and be comfortable? -
An Impertinent question? I'll admit It does Bound so, but I'll
tell you why I ask it.
I have Just been forcibly impressed
with the' danger of forming too rigid a habit in this respect.
A friend of mine was operated upon
for appendicitis. The operation was
eminently successful, but my friend
had a pretty serious time of it simply
because he had to lie on his back on account of the incision, and having Invariably slept on his side all his life he could not get to sleen in the new
position.
A young business woman contributes
a less serious but none the less unpleasant experience. She sprained her right shoulder and. having a rigid
habit of always sleeping on that side, lost Heveral nights' sleen and was ac
tually Incapacitated for work because she had to He on her back.
There has been much said in medi
cal circles from time to time about the
proper position lr which to sleep. Some doctors advocate sleeptag on
the back; others o the right side.
A prominent physician says that
the normal position in which to sleep Is on tb.e stomach and that you will notice that a healthy child invariably sleeps on his stomach.
The left side, I believe, has no ad
vocates at all, as lying on that side brings too great . a pressue on the heart.
Of course, I don't know anything
about all this, but one thing I do
JUDGES AND MAYORS III II1DIAIIA HAVE TROUBLE
know and want to Impress unon ion.
and that is that if you will train yourself to be able to sleep In more han one position, and especially to be able to sleep on the back If necessary, you may be forestalling many sleepless ajid uncomfortable nights. We have heard much talk lately about the danger of protruding hatpins. So much, in fact, that I fanev we
are rather wearied of the subject and Inclined to think the danger Is overrated. ) But here is one more word on the matter which has galvanized my Indifferences, at least, Into a new reallaatlon of the possible danger and a resolution not to be at fault In this respect. "I would ask you," writes my correspondent, "to sound a note of warn
ing to the woman wearing long hat
pins In small hats. A most deplorable accident occurred to a young lady on the very eve. of her graduation from normal school, caused by the thoughtlessness of another of the graduates In wearing a long hatpin In a small hat with point protruding two or three Inches. "The young lady in question was struck in the eye and may probably lose her sight. , "Now, I think, If many women and girls .knew of this accident they would surely be more careful to regulate the length of the pin to the size of the hat, or, if a pin of the required length were not at hand, they could at least see to it that the head and not the point protruded."

TIMES Bt'REAt, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Aug. 30. -Nearly 14,000 persons were arraigned before mayos, city Judn and Justices of the peace in Indiana during 1910 on charges of intoxication, according to statistics Just compiled in the otflce ot the state statistician. And this numner does not include the report of the In
dianapolis police court, because that
report has not yet been completed. This will swell the number to a much larger
total.
ine total, number or criminal cases filed before the mayors, city Judges and Justicesof the peace during the year
was 36,507. Of that number 24,2t!6 were filed in mayors' courts or city courts, and 12,281 before justices of the peace.

In the steel city the proportion of population is one female to four males and the demands of the matrimonial market are unceasing. Perhaps Hammond,

There has been considerable money sunk into unproductive Investments
In Lake county which might better have been put into the upbuilding of 4he community. There has been a tendency of late to go Into "wild cat" manufacturing schemes when there are dozens of gilt-edge investments waiting for the judicious Investor. Some of the concerns in which thousands of dollars have been sunk with no prospect of ever realising on the investment are, the Northwestern Indiana Traction company, the Marbelite company, the Liberty Cow Milker, the
"'I Jones Dishwasher, the Golden Cure .company .and the Electric Hammer company. Had this money been invested in real estate, in approved bank stock, in improvement bonds or any number of sane propositions It would have doubled or trebled since these schemes were promoted. It is a strange thiEg that some of the best business men in Hammond ... have been the victims of the promoters of enterprises which seemed the least likely to "pan out." In some cases a guardian ought to have been appointed for a man who would invst perfectly good, dollars in a positively foolish schemes. A good many men have been influenced by the Buccess of the Knoerzer brothers in the Champion Potato Machinery company. This com
pany has paid sucn enormous dividends tnat any other invention that looked feasible was easily financed. ' The fact that the Knoerzer brothers had one successful Invention 4n a hundred was overlooked; the fact that they had the native ability to make a manufacturing success of the invention after it was perfected was lost sight of; the fact that this invention was years in developing was forgotten and the people of Hammond have poured thousands of dollars into manufacturing rat holes in an effort to strike something Just as good. If this money had been put into acreage anywhere in the vicinity of Hammond it would at least have been safe. What a good .many people in Hammond need Is a sanitay commission, not an inventor's and investor's council.

Howe Post No. 47 G. A. R. About twenty years ago Capt. Morrell Wrote' to the friend with whom he left the sword, asking that a soarch for it be Instituted. There waa no response, and then a letter was sent to the post commander, but he sent no reply. Recently the sword was turned over to Capt. Morrell's sister, who forwarded it to Marion.

While doing some plumbing work in

three gold watches, several boxes o

from different stores at Elwood during
the last two months. It is thought the
nlace was used by the thieves as a hid

tatlstics, for the statistician shows
that of the 38,507 defendants 33.71S
were white.
The records of more than l.tOO Jus
tices of the peace were tabulated In the
tatistician's office. The total number
f white men in Indiana before police
Judges and mayors was 20,213. and the
total number of cases brought against
white women In the same courts was
,573. Colored 'men numbered 1,970 and
470 colored women appeared.
Of the cases filed before city judges
and mayors 17,338 of the defendants
were native born Americans, 1,848 were
foreign born, and 6,062 were of ' unknown birth. There were 2,289 white men charged with assault and battery
and 10,061 white men were charged with drunkenness. '
The total number of prisoners fined
before these courts was 14,854. Of these
6,862 paid their fines, 1,658 stayed them and 5,884 were sent to jail In default of payment. In 685 cases the defend
ants were sent to prison and in 2,595 they were acquitted. In 2,891 cases the sentence was suspended.

number of boys certified by these
courts to the Juvenile court was 247.
and the number of girls 4. Tho men certified to circuit courts was 690 and the number of women was 22. In Justice of the peace courts. of the state, Including Indianapolis, there were 11,342 cases against white men and 597 against white women. The colored men brought before Justice of the peace courts numbered 258, and the colored wome 86. The discrepancy between the number of white and colored persons brought before Justices of the peace in the state
was explained by offlclals In the statis
tician's office who said the majority of
the cases came from thinly populated
districts and small towns where Justice
courts serve the same as mayors' courts and police courts. Of those appearing in Justice , courts S.414 were native Americans, 2,031 were . foreign born and 886 were of unknown birth. White men arrested on charges of drunkenness and brought before Justices of the peace courts numbered 3,839, while 88 white women were arraigned on he same charge. Only 71 colored persons appeared before these courts on that charge. White women In 122 cases were charged with provoke, and 19 colored
women answered to the same charge. Of the total number brought before the justices of the peace courts 9.S84 were fined. Of these 7,432 paid their fines, 992 stayed them and 1,290 were sent to Jail In default of payment. The total number Imprisoned was 40, and the number acquitted was 907. Sentence was suspended In 77 cases, and the charges were dismissed In 988 cases. Men certified to the circuit court" of the state by Justices numbered 85, and women 33. In 1$ cases hoys were sent to the juvenile court, and In four cases girls were transferred from the Justice courts to children's courts.
