HAS HARD LUCK YARN
Indiana Harbor Men Get
Phony Dollar and Funny
Angle Results.
Especial to THE T1MEs).

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Aug. "a
George Plunkett of Everett, Mich, and
William Prosser of Canal Dover, Ohio,
two pals who blew into Indiana Har
Dor, are certainly entitled to the medal
offered by THE TIMES for the best hard
luck story of the season. Plunkett and
Prosser. after spending the past seven
weeks travelling around the country
looking for a job at their trade, were
finally promised a job in the tin de-
partment of the Inland Steel company's
mills They were to have gone to
work last Monday morning but the
mill being a new one was not ready
to start up, and the boys, having moth
ing to do started in to have a good
time But here is where the combina
ton turned against them; between their
travelling expenses and lost time they
found themselves out of money, so
they began to figure on ways and
means to make a raise to tide them
over The only opening was for Plum
kett to part with pair of new Walk
over shoes that he had bought last
Saturday night, but which were too
small for comfort. SO they hied them
selves down Pennsylvania avenue, look
ing for a buyer. They found one and
sold the shoes for one of Billy Bryans
old daddy dollars. After they got their
money they adjourned to the Golden
Gate wine house and called for re-
| freshments, which they partook and
proudly offered their one sixteen to one
metal currency to the genial young
man that dispenses liquid refreshments
But, 10, the dollar was of base metal
and the beer was drunk, and what to
do was the question Zip, the porter
advised the use of the stomach pump
/ but Prosser came to the rescue with q
/ dime and then they started out for the
man that gave them the phoney dol
! lar. They found him at his bench
! working, and after the matter was ex-
planned he said the dollar had beer
given him by boy for repairing E
pair of shoes, and he thought it was
good. He gave them another dollar
and took back the bad one. saying ht
knew the boy that passed it on him
Plunkett says he was always a Bryan
man but no more sixteen-to- fol
/ him.

The pure milk exhibit at the county
fair is one of the most interesting of
sights in this great farmers exposition.
In view of the fact that it is no longer
popular to murder young babies with
milk mixed with formaldehyde and that
the general public have expressed
mild disapproval of the sale of laceal
fluid in which the COW accidentally put
her foot the farmers of the county have
risen splendidly to the occasion and
have a sanitary dairy on the fair
grounds which is about as ideal as can
be found anywhere in the country
The first sight that greets the eye
of the visitors is fine new pump with
the handle tied down. This is to indi-
public that, Blessed is the tie that
binds"
The model dairy has concrete floor
1t has a place where the milk cans
may be washed in superheated water
which is guaranteed to kill all germs.
There is an ideal stall where the floors
are Of concrete and the bedding is
clean new straw. The doors and win
dows are screened so that the flies can
neither get into the barn or tumble into
the milk after they have taken jaunt
over a neighboring manure pile.
| In the dairy. which is separated from
the barn, there are several old bottles.
On them is a label bearing the words
maldehyde, Use this and save the
milk; never mind the babies. You can
llet your milk get as dirty as you like
and this will prevent it from souring.
Used by all disreputable farmers. eau
ton: Avoid feeding valves milk which
has been treated with this preventative
They do not thrive when fed it."
The guide who takes you through the
model dairy explains that bottles no
longer contain formaldehyd<. they are
now filled with carbolic acid, another
poison, which is also used as a disin-
fectant.
In the model dairy there is a sepera-
tor. This provides the cream which
tine milk men sell. The residue. how
lever. is not sold to poor people for
milk: it is taken out and fed to the
calves and pigs.
on the walls of the model dairy is a
card upon which is printed the follow
ing:
Square Deal MIX Producers Association
Because of the fact that some of the
milk dealers in Lake county have
lbunkoed the public by selling a dirty
inferior article we have all been

Last Moments of Great Musician.

A letter written by Count Cry
mala, who was an ardent admirer of
Chopin, has been made public in Lon
don by Eduard Zeldenrust In it the
last moments of Chopin are thus re-
ferred to: "A few hours before he
died he asked Nine. Potocka to sing
some melodies by Rossini and Bellini.
and this she did with sobs in her
voice. Listening to her voice he
passed away" Speaking of the fu-
neral the writer says "Mozart's re-
QUEEN and his own funeral march
were performed with the assistance of
Lahlache, Viardot and the concert So
ciety. 1t was characteristic of the
times that the artists should have
asked 1000 francs for this last trib-
ute to Chopin. One would have
thought that pride would have kept
them from selling their gifts On such
an occasion

"chance"-and ST. Anthony.

Who knows what is chance? A golf
er told me lately that he was playing
in Spain with a young Catholic stu
dent of divinity, who hit his ball into
a forest Of thistles. He sought for IL
sorrowfully. for golf balls are ex-
pensive in Spain. At last the player
bethought him of ST. Anthony of
Padua, that great finder of things lost.
On his watch chain the young man
wore a bronze cross dedicated to st.
Anthony, or mixed up with him some
how. Detaching the cross he threw it
high into the jungle of thistles; while
my friend marked where it fell, went
up to it, and found the lost ball lying
within a few inches of the bronze
cross
