+ interest to you and the Confed-
crate soldier, ! am, Yours very truly.
R. c. GREGORY.
A Maiden OF Long Ago.
Twas In the gladstone days Of long
ago,
That I loved a maiden far;
And no changes Of time or placs
have wrought
Any change In my heart for hei
image there.
I have seen other faces as fair a.
hers;
Other forms with as much Of airy
grace,
But no other girl In the whole wild
world,
Have I found who could take be
place.
I have found other friends who JUS
as true,
Other hearts which were good enc
kind;
But Eo other heart which could NOV
me so,
Or soul so attuned to mine.
have passed other days which wer'
full of JOY,
Mid scenes which were free from
care,
But none to compare with the day.
Of yore-
The days when her form was near
How bright were those days, o1s
feeting!
Those hours how joyous free;
When even the tones of her gent'e
voice
Were sweeter than music to me.
But gone are the friends who kneS
her,
And passed are the golden dream
But her presence still abldeth,
And her face, with it's sunli'
beams.

The Government Chemists, Who
Have Been Experimenting for
Years, Succeeded at Last.

Years, Succeeded at Last.
Chemists Of the bureau OF forestry
and of the bureau of plant industry
Of the department of agriculture,
says Washington dispatch, believe
that they have solved the problem
Of cheaper paper that will dispens'
altogether with the use of wood fiber.
The new material, from which al
ready I've grades have successfully
been made, is the ordinary corr
stalk, and officials of the department
predicted that the new product when
made on larger scale will be at Leaf
so per cent cheaper than the print
paper now made from wood pulp.
The two bureaus have been work
ing on the problem for years, but
not until now have the results been
30 positively successful as to permit
VI any announcement. The first
practicable samples have been man
ufactured by Dr.. H. S. Bristol and
assistants atthe new laboratory on
Pennsylvania avenue.
Dr.. Bristol has already carried
his experiment to the point OF max
:ng the paper in ave shades. One
grade is dark gray. thick and heavy

as sheepskln. Then there is ligh:'
,r shade Of tbs same character, two
shades Of yellow and one Of white.
The white paper is made from the
hard outside shell Of the stalk AM

Violin VirtuOSO COnin8
Hammond Entertainment on January Sixth To Be One
of Best RecitaIs Ever Given In City

The coming of Otto Myer, the great
violin virtuoso next Wednesday, Jan.
6, will be a great social event in all
of the cities of the Calumet region.
1t is, indeed, rare that the people of
a manufacturing community like this
who do not naturally turn to art have
the opportunity to see and hear great
musical artist.
Otto Meyer is one of two or three
great violinists in the world He is
just on his first American tour and the
reception he is receiving here is very
gratifying.
The Hammond entertainment is to be
given In Towles Opera House, under
the auspices of the Musical Art So
ciety, and many Of the various social
organizations are planning to give the
alter parties on this occasion.
The seats are selling at rs cents each,
and they may be reserved at Towie's on
Saturday. While it is not thought that
there will be large crowd in attend
ance it is expected that there are
enough people in Hammond artistically
inclined to comfortable fill the theater
Certainly, there will be enough people
in a city the size of Hammond to
make it worth while to bring great
artist to entertain them
Alexander Russell and Marie Meyer
the violinist's sister will accompany
Mr.. Meyer on the piano. Marie Meyer

FR|G|D WEATHER MARKS
EXIT OF OLD YEAR
Thermometers Down at Zero Mark and Weather Man
Saws That Snow Will Be Here by Satur-
day Evening at Least.

With the temperature down almost
to zero and the wind blowing gale,
the old year has gone out like lion
and the war of the elements which
has been going on for the past two or
three days continues.
The drought of last summer seems
to be followed by as freakish weather
this winter. With the exception of a
few days of cold weather and one
snowstorm, it would be hard to believe
that we have not had simply con-
tinuation of the fall weather, a sort
of December Indian summer.
But the warm weather of the past
month came to- an end after the city
had been deluged with a warm rain.
Tuesday night the temperature began
to drop. In fact, it took such a tumble
that it is now 25 degrees colder than
1t was then.
1t has been getting colder ever since.
This morning the thermometer was
down to zero and the cold wind made
| it seem colder than that. But If the
winds are icy cold there are none of
the other accomplishments of winter.
There is no snow on the ground and

is said to be a finished pianist and her
ability is but another proof of the
penfus of the Meyer family along must
cal lines. Professor Sindlinger, who
conducts the choruses of the Musical
Art society, will sing, and as he has a
remarkably fine tenor voice this will be
a treat
The sale of tickets by the members
has already been large and the society
who is responsible for bringing such
an attraction to the city is confident
of making financial success of their
venture. The following is one of the
Bohemian ress notices, which gives
something of what critical Bohemia
thinks of the Laporte county musicians:
The soloist was Otto Meyer, the
we'll known American violinist, who
gave most finished performance of
the Mozart concerto in d. Mr.. Meyer S
treatment of this noble work was en-
tirely individual. His tone is big and
wonderfully expressive. and in hiscant-
able passages of the adagio he re-
vealed a depth Of sentiment almost
Bohemian in its intensity The or
chestra under Zemanek followed every
mood of the soloist with wonderful pre-
cision, and showed itself to be worthy
of the task he set it A very large
audience was present and the young
artist was given many recalls" -

OPENS WRONG DOOR
FALLS INTO CELLAR
Gary Man in Strange Acct
dent at South Shore
Line Depot.

Charles Hughes. a former yard
master of the Monon yards at Monon,
Ind was seriously injured yesterday
in a peculiar way at the station of the
Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend IN
terurban In Gary. Hughes was about
TO step into a room and thought he
was opening the proper door. The one
which he opened. however, happened to
be the one which led to the cellar, in
stead, and as he opened the door with
his back against 1t, he was precipitated
down the entire flight OF stairs.
Hughes received several bad knocks
which rendered him unconscious and
also resulted in a broken collar bone.
He was taken TO the hospital in Jones,
ambulance. and was cared for by the
company's physician. When Hughes
was examined it was not thought that
he had suffered any serious internal
injuries, which would likely prove
fatal.
The accident was witnessed by a
large crowd of men and boys who were
in the station at the time waiting for
one of the trains. They Immediately
went to his assistance and sent in the
call for the ambulance.
