GETS DRUNK IN BOARDING
HOUSE; BLIND PIG UNCOVERED
Mike Kelxics at Gary Hailed Into Court
AT Midnight-Pays S25 and Costs.

Mike Kekics, one of the foreign
boarding house keepers on Prospect
avenue, was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by one of his patrons last
evening and prosecuted for selling Ii
quor without a license. The boarder
was picked up in a drunken condition
by officers Jenkins and Catey and
when they took him in he told how he
had purchased liquor at the boarding
house and offered to testify against
Kekics. This was shortly after mid
night, but without further ado a war
rant was sworn out before Judge Fitz-
gerald who had been summoned, and
the officers returned to get Kekics. In
the meantime man had been dispatch
ed for Deputy Prosecutor Barden and
when he came, Mike was hailed into
court together with several additional
witnesses that had been picked up
The witnesses told readily how Mike
had sold them liquor, made according
to the Gary prescription of two parts
alcohol. one part prune juice and cof-
fee mixed and three parts diluted wa
ter. Kekics tried to explain that that
was part of their board, but the Judge
failed to Sc 1t that way and found him
guilty and taxed up $25 and costs. BY
this time Mrs. Kekics and another
boarder arrived and between them
managed to pay the fine so that Mike
could get out. Court adjourned at $3.50.

Child Missed Pleasure.

1t is far cry from guerillas to Lit

reminded a man who heard of it of an
experience which befell Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett. When her now ia
nous story Little Lord Fauntleroy"
was running as a serial she happene
to be on train bound for a New Je.
sey suburb. In the seat across the
aisle sat a small girl and her mother.
The child asked the mother to buy the
last number of magazine so that she
might read the new chapters OF Faunt.
leroy. The leaves were uncut and
after trying in vain to get her mother
to lend her hairpin to use as paper
knife the child began hacking out the
uncut pages with her hands. Mrs
Burnett took one OF her own visiting
cards and handed it to the youngster.
The child cut the leaves with it with
out even turning 1t over to see whose
name it bore, and then returned it.
She never knew that she was within
two feet of the author OF the story
which she was reading with such eager
interest.

BRIDGE TENDER
BELIEVED DROWNED
Rudolph Behrendt, G. L. s.
& E. Employe, Thought to
Have Fallen in River.

Rudolph Behrendt, tender of the Chi
cago, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad
bridge across the Calumet river at
Ninety first street, is believed to have
fallen from a short pier north of the
east approach to the bridge early this
morning and drowned About l o'clock
Behrendt hailed Peter NJ. Little, watch
man at the dredge dock of the Great
Lakes Dredging and Dock company.
just north of the Ninety second street
traffic and asked him to join in fishing
from the pier. Little refused, and
thought nothing more of the matter
till a half hour later. when he heard
Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern train
whistle for the bridge to close, and re-
peat the signal four or five times.
Little and the train crew investigat-
ed and found that Behrendt was miss
ing. His hat and lantern, and a small
can containing some fish. were found on
the pier, and the conclusion was at once
reached that Behrendt had fallen into
the river while fishing and drowned.
The police of the East Side were noti-
fed and officers from that station and
the South Chicago station came to the
scene and began dragging the river for
the body. The life-saving crew from
the South Chicago station and firemen
from the fire boat, Michael Conway, are
also working with graphing irons, but
at a late hour the body had not been
recovered.
A strong current is flowing toward
the lake, which makes the work of the
men seeking the body difficult, and
which may have drawn the body fal
out into the lake. Behrendt was 4S
years old and lived with his wife and
family at $500 Avenue L.

Cash We. Credit.

A cash transaction is more desirable
than q credit one. II customers would
only pay the small town merchant
cash for all things purchased, the
same a the department stores and
mail order houses in the large cities
there would be no reason why
goods could not be sold at lower
prices 1t is the constantly turning
over of the money invested In bust
ness that makes the profit for the
merchant. This is one of the reasons
Of the success of the bly, city concerns.
Few farmers when they sell their
crops are willing to wait six months
for their pay. Why then should the

Importance Of Insurance.

Insurance against losses by fre,
tornadoes and cyclones is a necessity.
How many farmers estimate the vast
amounts that are paid yearly to for
eign insurance companies for which
comparatively small returns are re-
ceived? How few realize that farm in.
surance is the less hazardous Of any,
and that it is too often the case that
the farmers are compelled to pay
losses incurred on hazardous risks,
such as factories Of various kinds, and
crowded city buildings? 1t is best to
patronize some home insurance com.
pany which you know to be sound,
and every state has a number of such
ones. For the farmer good mutual In
surance is always the best. 1t costs
less. because the risks are select ones,
and the insured is not compelled to
make up losses on the more hazardous
kind.

SCHEMES FOR MoNex.MAkINe.
Alleged "cIubs" That Operate to the
Loss Of Their Members.

Buying of goods from a distance has
a charm for some people that in many
cases proves expensive. Fields are
that fads are responsible for many
things that work against the interests
of the individual. Opposition should
be Given to every plan and scheme
that works toward the impoverishing
the smaller towns. and which work
against their progress. 1t is only by
combating the concentration of capt.
tai In the large financial centers can
the rural towns be kept up to the
standard that they should have.
These small towns depend upon the
business of the merchants for their
life. and when this business is divid-
ed. the town IL made SO much the
poorer and kept from advancing. Here
is where there is justification in advis-
ing against the patronage of so-calIed
clubs" which agree to send premi-
ums to the getter-up of orders for their
wares. The secret of the club" bust
ness lies in the selling Of large lots
of goods to individual purchasers and
giving a premium, representing the
lot as valued at twice the amount paid
for IT. The truth is. should the pur-
chaser go to the average merchant,
and desire the same class and guam
tity of goods and pay cash for the
same, the saving in dollars and cents
to the purchaser would enable him or
her to buy a better piece of furniture
or other prize than offered by the club
concern.
