When Mr.. Knots was told this he
said that he would look after Mr.. Ables

n, J. Bick is the artist of Hammond.
He knows every man, woman and
child in the town and he is with the
mayor in his advocacy Of marriages,
Mr.. Bick said: 81 have tried to en-
courage the young men and the young
women here to get married. It's the
only sort of life. 1 was single too long.
I never knew the joys and comforts of
living until I had persuaded a woman
to join me. The mayor is right. A
man that persists in remaining single
in a town like this, where there are so
many lovely unmarried women should
be- handled by the law"

women pretty. Of course, you will
find a homely person here and there.
But 1 will guarantee to say that there
is 10 town in and around Chicago
where the young people are more at
tractive You must understand that
this is a manufacturing town. Down
here we toll. There is no time for
long hours before the looking glass.
The young men do not patroniZe Turk
ish baths and high priced tailors. Nor
do the women consult fashion plates
to the exclusion of their domestic du-
ties. They know how to cook, to sew,
to sing, to attend church and to laugh.
These accomplishments are sufficient
to make them good wives.
"Some women are born with mar
rage certificate in their hands. Others

waste their entire lives in the pursuit
of husband. 1 may say that the ma
jority of women devote from two to
ten years in looking for strong arm
to support them through life. And
what they go through in that time, the
WEAKNESS, the anxiety, the boredom, is
enough to draw compassion from the
most callous. I agree with Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Gilbert when she says:
I'm the first place there is the diff
f1culty of catching husband, and just
what a trouble that is and what
chase it leads one only those who have
had experience can fully appreciate
1t is the polite convention to speak
of husbands as if they f1ocked to
woman on wings, and were what our
sporting friends call easy money We
assume that there are long lines of
gallants kneeling at every maiden's
feet, with hand on heart, beseeching
her to pick and choose among them

and support her. Celibacy in his eyes
is crime. To make Hammond
model city of propriety he has agreed
to marry any couple free of cost. This
proposition is for a month only and
dates back from Sept. %. If he finds
the scheme to work we'll he will ex-
tend the time. His main idea now is
to get young people thinking about
two hearts that should beat as one.

mayor Il would force maria geable per-
= sons to get married even if L had to
impose such a penalty as clanking

spared. Long range, running gun
fights between deSperadoeS and po-
licemen are of common occurrence in
Chicago and the crooks have come to
know that an encounter with blue
coat or Ely Bob" is life and death
matter. Instances are ON record when
men have been winged" in dusky al
leys at distance of a block. Duels to
the death have been fought in the
streets and in Railways, the perfect
confidence of the policemen in their
ability to shoot quicker and straighter
than their antagonists causing them
to enter such affrays with zeal. Pro-
motion also awaits the man who comes
out Of such a battle with credit and
this is an incentive which has landed
some very young men in the goal of all
members of the force-central detect
i've headquarters, where every man
draws the pay of a sergeant.
1t must not be understood, however,
that promiscuouS shooting is encour-
aged.
Shooting Is Last Resort.
Don't shoot until you have to- is
the admonition handed to every man
by his superior officer. But the cases
where men have "had to- can be esti-
mated by the appalling death roll
among the finest of Chicago. Among
liz llOleiOiC plolOl Iiollso III SbiSeeSoO
are those of Sergeants Harvard, Rus
sell, Flynn and Mooney, the latter of
whom won the daughter Of Chief
O'Neill by his bravery All gained
their stripes by the hardness with
their guns. Howard fought the mem
orable battle with notorious crook in
which each was entrenched behind an
ash barrel. The men were but twenty
five feet apart, Howard having pur-
sued the desperate into an alley. The
crook was known as dead shot and
Sergeant Howard had not yet made
any reputation.
He had been in the annual contests,
however, and when the crook began
blazing away at him from behind his
ash barrel he calmly squatted and
carefully examined his pistol. Then he
took chance on getting his head shot
through and peeked over the barrel.
A bullet sang past his nose. Then
began one of the prettiest duels that
ever was fought. Each man loaded his
weapon several times and emptied it
but neither could catch the other with
enough of his anatomy exposed to send
bullet home. Finally the crook

rotary at the tough Harrison street
station. A common thief who bore q
deadly grudge against the police de-
partment in general, walked into the
station when Messenger was alone,
writing behind the sergeant's desk
He showed revolver through the graf
ing and murdered Messenger in cold
blood. The murderer rushed for the
door, sixty feet away. AS he darted
through it Scully threw open the door
of the captains Office and fired. Only
the back of the fleeing murderers head
was visible from where Scully stood,
but that was. enough of a mark. The
man pitched headlong down the station
StepS-dead.
None of these men when they Joined
the police force knew the difference
between a double action gun and a
sewing machine. The annual shoots,
however, brought all members of the
department out for practice seven and
eight weeks before the contests. The
result was that even though they
didn't capture any of the medals, ev-
cry man in blue became an expert with
the pistol.
Good Thing for the Force.
'tIt would be good thing for the
force to have a place where they could
use their revolverS in practice" said
Chief O'Connor last night. Even
though the necessity might only occur
once in a lifetime, when it does oc-
cur it is often a matter of life or death,
or even the escape of murderous
crook. The very fact that the police
men of the town are noted for their
ability to shoot is enough to make bad
men wary of it. I am in favor of a
pistol range"
Capt. Hanft said
Considering that it would cost COM
paratively nothing and would add to
the effectiveness of the system, I am
heartily in favor of the proposition"
Among the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the proposed institution is
Sergeant TWohy. He said:
There are some people on the de-
partment who couldn't hit barn door
if their lives depended upon it, and
once in a while you hear of police
mans life depending on his quickness
with his gun. Nothing but practice
makes good marksmen, and the sooner
some provision is made for giving the
boys a chance to practice the sooner
will professional bad men begin to
take the long route around st. Paul.

If the city council gets generous
about budget time ST.. Paul will in the
course of few months be a place or
terror and loathing for all persons who
gain their livelihood by means OF guns,
gum shoes and intimidation.

When the time comes for punching
appropriations for the various depart
ments of the city government the city
fathers will be asked to lay aside
mite for the establishment and main
tenance of police Shooting gallery
Chief O'Connor, Capt. Hanft and Ser
geant Twohy are the principal back
ers of the proposition. With all due
respect to the bravery and efficiency
of the men who wear the blue ana
swing the hickory, these officers are
aware that, in consequnc OF lack OF
opportunity and training, the average
st. Paul policeman is no match Tor
the average fighting crook in gunnery.
They also realize that the moral effect
of spreading st. Paul's reputation
broadcast as an uncomfortable place
for bad men would be to cause the
sand-bag specialists and porch-climb-
ing experts to give this city a wide
berth.
The cost of pistol range would be
but few dollars, but the results would
be vast and reaching. Three sites
for it have been proposed-under the
Third street bluff the unused third
floor of the Central police station and
the basement of the same building.
In order to stimulate interest in the
game of craftsmanship it has been
proposed to offer two handsome med
ais for the policemen, regardless of
rank, who shall make the best scores
in contest to be held under the SUI
pervision of the chief of police, a mem
Der of the council, an officer from Fort
Smelling and member of the police
board.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-There has
recently been formed in Chicago an Or
ganization composed of marriageable
young women in which they agree not
to wed unless the man belongs to a
union labor concern. In a parish of
Chicago a priest on Sunday last an
nounced from the pulpit that he would
perform no more marriage ceremonies
unless he was paid a fee of So Over
at st. Joseph, Mich, some of the min
listers have recently inveighed against
that town being the laughing stock of
the country because of the many we'd
dings taking place there.
In Racine, Wis, even Mrs. Grace
Smell Coffin got a divorce without go
ing on probation for year. In Sioux
Falls, where divorces are turned out
like collar buttons in a factory, there
has recently cropped up a feeling
against the dissolution of marital
unions that threatens a new law for
South Dakota pertaining to such af-
fairs. At Hammond, Ind, that live
and progressive suburb of Chicago, the
mayor has said that he would unite
any couple appearing before him be-
tween the hours of 4 and o'clock in
the afternoon and if need be kiss the
bride without any sort of cost. Thus
the reader will observe that while
trusts, the coal strike and Mr.. Wat
terson's attacks on Newport society
are commanding much attention, still
the question of married life and mar
riages is not wholly unrepresented.
Wants Citizens to Wed.
A. F. Knots, the recently elected
mayor of Hammond, is a man of COM
parative youth, of sturdy habits, of
pronounced views on economies, a law
yer of talent, a member of the church,
the father of a family, a devoted hus
band and an enthusiastic advocate OF
the merits of the young men and wom-
en- of his town.
Mr.. Knots has been married for sew
eral years. In the capacity of chief
executive of his town he has observed,
so he says, that the best and most
reliable citizens are those who have
! wives. A home with vines clustering
around porticOs children playing in
the yards, the sound of coffee mills
and the mewing of cats are conducive
to cleanliness both in mind and body.
The germ of ambition being the chry
sails of wisdom, to obtain it it is nee
essary to take some fair girl by the
