Travelling Mans Suggestion.

In talking to a travelling man con-
corning the beauties of Crown Point
and its being an ideal residence town, a
TINES reporter CLEANED the following:
Certainly Crown Point is an ideal
streets are improved. and with but one
or two exceptions the conditions are
all that could be desired. One of the
chief drawbacks to your towns beauty
(Which could be easily remedied by
the passing of proper ordinances) are
the unsightly barns situated on the
street line of some of your best resi-
dence streets OF course an ordinance
ordering the removal of these insight
bitterly fought by the owners. yet when
the entire community's interests are at
stake, and they are one. and I might
say the chief blot on the towns beauty.
I believe the preponderance of opinion
would be for their removal The prop
erty owners would not lose anything
in the long run by removing some of
these barns from the principal resi-
dence streets, as it would only enhance
tho value of adjoining property and
probably sell the lot wherein the barn
stood for a good building lot. I have
visited many towns where there are
ordinances regulating the building OF
private stables, and I believe Crown
Point If it really desires to be in the
front rank as a residence town, will
have to take steps for their ultimate
removal

Then Foreigners Kick IN
fortunate Man Into I'm
consciousness at Gary.
FALLS into FEARFUL SCRApE
John Thomas Climbs Into Window
and Lands in Nest of
Crazed Hungarians.

If you are going to be a thief there
are lots of better places to rob than a
turnkey shack, IS the opinion of John
Thomas. aged % and colored. as re-
suit of his experience in Cary last
evening
John Thomas took off his coat and
shoes and entered a shock in the Set
tlement which is known in Gary a.
Mount Olivet. He climbed through The
window, little thinking that there were
a whole bee hive of foreigners there.
He had not been in the place but a
few minutes when the foreigners
awakened and swarmed down upon
him. He did not have time to make
his escape through the window bv
means of which he had entered the
place. and SO he did the next best thing
and crawled under the bed.
The foreigners did not like the idea
of going under the bed after the bur
glar, but finally they found one of
their party who was brave enough to
try 1t and the negro was brought from
under the bed
As soon the burglar was brought
from his hiding place the foreigners
secured about fifty feet of rope and
wound it about his body until he was
a human spool
Knocked Him InsensibIe.
After they had him tied up so that
there was no chance of his getting
away and so that he could not move a
muscle. they began regular Indian tor
ture. They kicked their victim and
slapped his face until he was finally
beaten into Inconsistencies
No one seemed to think of calling
for the police. They simply meted out
| the punishment which they thought the
| negro deserved. He got all that was
coming to him and a little bit more.
Finally some one notified the police
| that some "Hunkies" were beating a
| niger to death and the officers bur-
ried over to the shack Here, the Of
| ficers were gladly received by the for
eigners, who bowed and talked Ian
guages which were not understands
| able.
AS soon as the police saw the con-
| dftfon Of the man they proceeded to
loosen the ropes around the burglar and
| bring him to consciousness. They were
| finally able to restore him to con-
seriousness, and after the story of the
| attempt to burglarize the shack be-
came known the man was taken to the
police station, more dead than alive.
| The story Thomas told the police was
that he was hungry and that he had
entered the place in the hope of get
| ting something to eat. This did not
| sound very good to the police, however.
and it is likely that. in addition to the
| beating he received at the hands of
the foreigners, Thomas viii have to
serve term in the county jail for
f, HOUSEKEEPING.

facing that panther, and watched his motions
as keenly as he watched mine.
1.-TWO courses suggested themselves TO me.
One was to spring into the underbrush and
trust to being able to battle pursuit; the 9th
err was to meet him and back my cunning
and agility against his. The former I dismis-
sed at once as certain to terminate disastrous
ly, for the panther could make his way
through the underbrush much more easily
than could The latter would also proba-
bly, end disastrously, but should at least die
fighting.
"My deliberations were very short Mean
while the panther had crouched ready for a
spring, his body nearly touching the ground,
which his tail dashed furiously.

suer, and, flying by me like the wind, attack

the panther, with grace of movement that

Hector had returned to the charge, and was

one of his hind legs.

Tin very few minutes l was at the scene
of the fight. The panther was lying at full
length on the ground, clearly endeavoring TO
crush poor little Fan, whose white body
could see beneath his powerful chest, as she
still maintained her hold on his throat.
Hector had gained strong grip upon the
leg, and was worrying it with all his strength.
although this was not so great as usual, for
the poor fellow was growing weaker every
moment from loss of blood, which dripped
from wounds the panther had inflicted.

effective than hard hitting, and should be
especially studied; if the ball be only taken
properly, comparatively slight muscular ex-
ertion will send it an amazing distance.
To insure clean hitting it is necessary that
the striker should stand correctly. The feet
should be set firmly ON the ground about
eighteen inches apart, the toe of the left foot
opposite the ball, and at distance exactly
proportionate to the length of the handle Of
the club employed. :.
If the striker be too near, the ball is Ina.

ing il to the left of the true line.
Then when the bali has been driven up to
within a few yards of a hole, the novice
would suppose that the most important part
of his work was over, but on the contrary
the real struggle for the hole is only just
going to begin.
So many circumstances have to be taken
into consideration--the nature and lay OF
the ground, the strength required to traverse
the exact distance and no farther, the posi-
ton of your own ball and that of your adver-
sary, which may chance to be between It
and the hole, and last, though very often
not least, the general condition of the game,
by which must be decided whether to play
boldly or cautiously.
Golf is not a very exciting game, but it is
very enjoyable and invigorating, especially
on an open, breezy field or the seashore,

from beside the first hole. work round the
circle, each endeayoring to make his holes
in less number of strokes than his antag-
onist.
The count is made thus: Suppose A and
B to be playing. A makes his first hole in
five strokes, B in six; A counts one to his
game. The next hole B wins. They are
now one and one The next two perhaps
they achieve in the same number OF strokes.

The rival players either two in number or
four 1.-TWO against two), in which case the
two partners strike the ball ON their side
alternately.
An exact eye, steady hand and strong
arm are necessary These. together. with q
few hints on the correct way of standing and
hitting, are about all the instructions that
can be given on paper.
First, to hold and use the club. Grasp the
handle with both hands firmly, but not too
tightly, lift it slowly over the right shoulder,
and bring it down smartly but steadily on
the ball, letting the lower surface OF the
butt end just skim the ground. The action
should be more. Of steady sweep, than a
blow, and the club must be allowed to, FOL
low on its swing after the. ball, and not be
brought up abruptly after the stroke.
Accuracy and clean hitting are far more
