Picking raspberries in November is unusual to say the least, but that is what John Rickert, of Michigan avenue, is doing this week. He has a number of bushes of the Columbian variety in his garden which contain clusters of berries just ripening.—LaPorte ArgusBulletin. The Valparaiso Messenger says that counterfeit five dollar bills are being circulated in that vicinity. The bogus five dollar bills are said to bear the number “D 47,763,872 ” The word “payable” is badly made, the “b” being practically identified with the “1”. There is another defect in the figure “5” in the corner. Republicans Talk Liquor. The republican party leaders are giving consideration to the question of liquor legislation, says the Indianapolis Star. It will be up to them to formulate a policy which will be the cue for the republican members of the legislature. A good many republicans of prom inence are insisting that the republican legislators should accept the verdict of Nov. 3 as an indication that the people do not want county option, that having been the paramount issue of the campaign. In any event it looks as if the democrats will have no difficulty in passing a ward and township local option bill. Although the democrats do not have a majority in the senate, several republican senators are willing to join hands in repealing the county option law. Wanted The Gallows. The unusual spectacle of a man under sentence of life imprisonment pleading that the verdict of twelve men be set aside and that the penalty of death be imposed, was witnessed in the Starke circuit court, at Knox, when Albert Roubick, the self-confessed murderer of Emil Kvasnicka, was brought before Judge Nye for sentence. Roubick pleaded, with tears in hie eyes, that he be permitted to expiate hie crime on the gallows, declaring that hie mad love for the wife of the man he killed would haunt him through the yeare. Judge Nye told him he could not reverse the finding of the jury, and Roubick was taken to the Michigan City prison. South Bend Citizens Threatened Some fifteen business men of South Bend have received letters threatening them with personal violence if they didn’t leave the city at once. John Wagner is suspected of being the writer and is held in the South Bend jail waiting investigation. The letters were as follows: “You are warned on penalty of death to leave South Bend and leave it forever. If you are seen on the streets tomorrow afternoon you will be sent to join , who committed suicide by jumping off the Colfax avenue bridge when a revolv er was held to hie ear, Go, —I don’t want your blood on my hands.” New Music. Joseph Artis, the composer of “Moon, Moon” has a new two step, “Wiggles’’ which is winning great popularity and promises to be one of the greatest suo cesses in the two step line. “Dreams of the Ball Room,” a redowa by Leo L Swank is, as the name indicates, a most fascinating contribution. The new song by Frank L. Gale, “Where the lllnoie is Flowing, Sweetheart May” bide to rival “On the Banks of the Wabash” as a popular favorite. For sale at King’s Music Store, South Bend, Ind.

Sam P. Jones. WHY HE LOST HIS FRIENDS. He was not loyal to them. He borrowed money from them. He was suspicious of everybody. He measured them by their ability to advance him. lie was always saying mean things about them In their absence. He never hesitated to sacrifice their reputation for his advantage. He did not know the value of thoughtfulness in little things. He was cold and reserved in his manner, cranky, gloomy. pessimistic. He never thought it worth while to spend time in keeping up his friendships. He never learmd that implicit, generous trust is the very foundation stone of friendship. । He never threw the doors of his heart wide open to people, or took them into his confidence. He regarded friendship as a luxury to be enjoyed, instead of an opportunity for service. He was always wounding their feel- . lugs, making sarcastic or funny remarks at their > x.*mse. He did not realize that friendship will not thrive mi sentiment alone; that । there must be service to nourish it. He was always ready to receive as- ‘ sistanee from his friends, but always ; too busy or too stingy to assist them in their time of need.—Success Magazine. SOME THINGS TO TALK ABOUT. Xerxes counted his vast army by inclosing his men m pens. Tlie distance from New York to San Francisco is 3,270 miles. A woman doesn’t mind criticism—if it is directed at someone else. | The road to success is slippery, and he who travels thereon needs a lot of sand. This year's corn crop promises to be the second largest In the history of the country. Last government figures show’ that there is $9,437,662 worth of salt manufactured in the United States each year. Th« “Hochzeitbitter.” In northern Germany a familiar figure of the rural districts is a quaint old gentleman, whose hat is very much decorated with flowers and parti-col-ored ribbons and who carries a staff, to i the top of which is tiel a huge bunch । of real or artificial flowers knotted to it by long streamers of similar ribbons. According to the district, his costume also is old-fashioned and unusual tn other ways. He is the “hochzeitbitter,” or person employed among the country folk to go from house te house and invite guests to attend a -wedding. He delivers himself of a soßspeech in an old "Plattdeutsch” rhymj when he arrives at each place, acQ>mpanying it with wagging of the hetfl and stamping of the staff and is generally in rather a jovial condition by the time his day’s labors are ended. The Sceptic. Aid. Frank L. Dowling, of New York, was talking about his widely praised ordinance to make it a crime for chauffeurs to take out their masters’ motor cars without leave. “So many accidents have accompanied these stolen rides,” said Aid. Dowling, “that the chauffeur has come to be regarded very sceptically. Os course the great majority of chauffeurs are all right, but there is among them a small minority, a small working minority which wo must treat as a Hoboken grocer treats his trade. "'This grocer is a cash grocer only. If you ask him for credit he says, ‘No. sir; no, siree. I wouldn't even trust ray own feelings.’ ” Peter A. Young, who has been representative for the South Bend Times at Mishawaka for the past 14 years, has been appointed private secretary to Con-gressman-elect Barnhart. Watched Fifteen Years“For fifteen years 1 have watched th working of Bucklan’s Arnica Salve; and it has never failed to cure any sore, boil, ulcer or burn to which it was applied. It has saved us many a doctor bill,” eaye A. F. Hardy, of East Wilton, Maine. 25c. at B. E. Williams drug store.

RICH RELL BOY. Chicago “Hops” Has Only Three Hilles for Gaining Success. Chicago has a “-bell-hop'' capitalist in the person of Frank Lawler, who is connected with one of the leading hotels of the Windy City. He has $20,000 in the bank and three tine flat buildings, and his fortune was founded on "tips.” That he is a magnate of such caliber became known only a few days ago, when he scheduled $30,000 worth of property to indorse a friend’s bond. Lawler has three rules of conduct to which he attributes his success. These are: Be on the job. Make friends. Save money. “I have saved my money and made good investments,” said the wealthy bellboy. "My original capital was derived from tips of guests. I have made it a point to attend to my own business and to avoid things that did not concern me. Any one In America can become rich by the exercise of a little thrift. “I have remembered the wants of the guests in the hotels where I work, and the guests, in turn, remembered me. That Is the secret of it all. I save. And with what I have saved I have made more. My original capital was derived from the liberality of guests, which allowed me to receive my monthly salary Intact. “If a man will think of his employers, those whom his business causes him to come in contact with and himself, at all times, he will progress.” Many employes in the first-class hotels double their weekly salary through courteous attention to wants of the guests. BASEBALL’S ADVANCE. Rough nn<l Tumble Game of 20 Year, Ago No Longer Known. The evolution of baseball from the rough and tumble game of, twenty years ago to the clean, sportsmanlike games of to-day is in no manner better emphasized than by the way in which the crowds of the present frown upon the slightest attempt of one player to jostle another, or in any way interfere in the consummation of a play. Two decades ago, when an umpire was hurt, the players mocked at his moans and left him to mend his own injuries. Nowadays when an umpire is his by a foul tip, the men on both opposing teams gather about him and minister to his needs as considerately as If it were one of their own team mates. Another custom—rampant on many ball parks a few years ago—of sneering at the injuries of a visiting player is now happily obsolete. In the old days when a visiting catcher tore off his mask to clia.se a foul fly, it was the fashion of the man at bat to stamp on the protector ami put It out of commission. The modern way is for the batsman to pick up tlie mask and cap and hand them to the hot and dusty catcher when he returns to his post. The fans who love to talk al«»ut the “good old days ' of baseball entirely overlook the fact that the games of to-day are fit and proper for women and children to see. while many of the contests of twenty years ago were not. It is the exception now. instead of tlie rule, for an oath to be uttered on the ball field. Taken Down. Gustave Eberlein, the famous German sculptor, said the other day in New York that in beauty of face and figure the American women excelled all others —that the American type of beauty approached almost absolute perfection. "In intelligence as well,” the sculptor resumed, "the American woman excels. But now and then she has the defect of the intelligent; she is over-positive, she is over-confident. In that case I like to see her taken down. I once met a beautiful and brilliant American woman on shipboard. She talked splendidly, but she was very positive—positive indeed. “ ‘I am a good reader of faces,’ she said one day at luncheon. ‘On first sight of a person 1 form my opinion of that person’s character. And I am never wrong. I am positively never wrong.’ “ ‘Mother,’ her little boy called shrilly from the other end of the long table, where he sat with his nurse. “ ‘Well, what is it, my son?’ said the mother indulgently. “And we all turned to hear what tie little fellow had to say. " ‘Mother,’ he piped, ‘I want to know what was your opinion, mother, when you first saw me !’ ” The Wily Earl. Senator Kean, at a dinner in Chicago, said of a political maneuver: “I smell a rat In this contract. It reminds me of a contract made by a wily earl. Lord Reginald Bareacres courted ardently last year tlie daughter of a New Jersey millionaire. At a seasonable moment, in a dim conversatory, he laid his heart at the young girl’s feet. She, however, being a rare type, spurned him. Rising to his feet, Lord Reginald said: “ ‘I have bared to you the most sacred feelings of my Inmost heart May I ask that you will never reveal to a living soul what has passed between us?’ “ ‘I am not r gossip. Lord Reginald,’ the girl said haughtily. “ ‘But promise me,’ he continued. ‘Give me your solemn promise.’ “ I promise,’ she said. ‘But why. Lord Reginald, are you so persistent?’ ‘ ’Because,’ he answered, sighing with relief, ‘I purpose to-morrow to turn my attention to your older sister.’ ” Hawks’ Burdock Creates appetite, purifies the blood, cures rheumatism, kidney, bladder and stomach troubles.
