"Hurt you?" asked the barber.
Like fury said the pig. but 1t

way, how many hairs would it take to

"About a thousand" said the barber.

Here is one of the essential occult
laws for achieving anything you de-
sire: Make no statement that you do
not wish to stand as fact, particularly
concerning yourself. Such statement
only emphasizes and intensifies an un-
fortunate situation. Never say you are

you have an ailment that cannot be
relieved. Never say you cant do

career began spent considerable time
waiting for his wife TO get ready to 60
places with hin. Lately, when once
she had had all day to. prepare and
was not yet ready, | heard him ask her
why she was not ready. The woman
must be past sixty, yet she answered
with a babyish whine: Don't scold me.
I'll cry if I'm scolded." A baby is a
very sweet creature, but a baby of
sixty, with a withered skin, gray hair
and uncomely teeth, is a mighty un-
pleasant old baby.

One of the. queerest lawsuits ever
heard of came up recently. A husband
and wife were arrested for stealing
and secreting goods. Both were equal
" guilty. The wife even confessed TO
many thefts. But her lawyer tried to
get her off on the plea that the wife
was only following the Bible injunc-
ton when she stole, because the Bible
commands wives to obey their hus-
bands. How does that strike you in
the line of a wife's religious duty?

of interested property owners than ii was

but, at the request of President MCGOWAN,
the date of hearing for the company was
fact a number of the property owners who
crowded the boards office yesterday morn
ing insisted that they should be heard. and
the board devoted some time to listening to
various sides of the question.
An extension of the line is desired, but
residents on Delaware and Alabama streets
and on Talbot avenue are all opposed to
the lines running in front of their property.

recommended the Delaware-street route.
but in this he is opposed. among many
others, by his own father, John y. Jeup,
who resides on Delaware street. The Board
of Public Works considers that it is con-
fronted by hard proposition.
The board yesterday took final action on
TWO important improvements, the paving
with brick of Missouri street from Mar
ket street to Kentucky avenue, and the
construction of the new street and levee
along the west bank of White river be-
tween Washington street and Oliver ave-

fare has been Parry. avenue. but this is
opposed by several elements, and its final
determination will be left to the City

FIGHT ATTACK OF CHURCH
IN THEIR OWN INSTITUTION
Notre Dame Authorities to Protest
Against Feeger's Grafton,
''Gustavus Adolphus.''
CONTEST ON QUESTION

An interesting if not exciting meeting
will be held by the members of the Indiana
State OratoricaI Association at the Denison
Hotel to-day. The meeting is called at the
instigation of the Notre Dame representa-
tive of the board, 3. V. Kanaley, who is
insisting that change be made in the
speech of Luther Feeger, who will represent
Indiana in the interstate oratorical contest
with the Grafton "Gustavus Adolphus." The
Grafton includes some attacks upon the his
tory of the Catholic Church. The Notre
Dame officials assert that they are not OBJ
jecting to the criticisms so much if the facts
upon which they are based were stated cor
rectly. which 1t is claimed they are not.
The interstate contest is to be held in the
auditorium Of Notre Dame University, and
ii is claimed ii would be an insult to the
church to allow the delivery of the speech
as it was originally delivered in the state
contest. Feeger has been asked by the
Notre Dame representative to make some
changes in his speech which would in
manner eliminate or correct the alleged dis
torted truths. This the Earlhap orator re
fused to do. claiming that he would not
have time TO make the changes before the
interstate contest. He was then asked If
he would net mako some changes in the
delivery which was also refused II the
changes are not made Notre Dame contends
that it will have to Withdraw from the
state association, very much against Its
will. after ii had secured such an suspicious
start.
Letters have been sent to each of the
executive members of the board by Kanaley
stating the grounds upon which his fnst1tu-
ton asks the changes made in the speech
If Feeger insists on delivering his speech
without changes. it is suggested that Right
of De Paw, who won second place, be
asked to substitute for Earlham in the
interstate contest
The question will doubt be a contested
one at the meeting to-day, as 1T is under
stood that the colleges represented are di-
vided.

CYRUS HUBBARD MAY NOT

Woman Is Connected with
Crime.

That Cyrus Hubbard. who now Is confined

murder of his brother. is not murderer is
the startling theory advanced by the cor
oner and the police yesterday.
Otis Hubbard was found dead in a room
over Moriarty's saloon al Nineteenth street
and Martindale avenue last Saturday morn

trouble with his brother Cyrus and was
felled by blow on the head with a billiard

one that caused his death. just over
the right ear and fractured the skull.
Physicians say it would have been impos-
sbie for the man TO have lived very long or
TO have walked any distance with the frac-
ture in his skull, but il is now known that
Otis Hubbard walked fourteen squares after
the trouble with his brother. When Jour-
nal reporters told the detectives that the
murdered man, after the trouble with his
brother. had walked from Moriartys saloon
to Blackwells, seven squares south, the
statement was not believed. but in the light
of new evidence 1t is now known TO be a
fact
Besides the bruises about the head found
during the post-mortem examination of the
body several bruises were found about the
chest and arms. indicating that the dead
man had been in fight. Cyrus Hubbard
did not strike his brother, so far as is
known but one blow, and that with a bill

Ii is now said that the dead man was in
innate with a married woman living near
Moriartys saloon. The detectives and the
police are inclined to believe that Otis Hub
bard was not killed by his brother but by
the husband of the woman.
The coroner has the names of the man
and woman and Ii is said that the fight
either took place in the saloon or near 1t,
