He Learned a Lot of Things.
AS might be judged from his non

business did not agree with the young
Chinaman. Lee Kin was brought to
this country when he was so young that
he does not remember much about his
arrival here.
He learned the English language sc
that he speaks it with but little of the
pigeon" in it, and along with the
language he learned a great many more
things that are Enthusiastically Am

Among them ws the proclivity foi
spending money and when he found
that he could not earn the wherewithal
fast enough to supply his every day
needs he proceeded to rife the casf

His father discovered that both hi:
money and his son were missing at th'

telegraphed the Hammond police t

VEXEO QUESTION IS
SETTLED At LAST
South Holman Street Prop
erty Owners Want to
Hurry Pavement.
OGDEN ST. GETS A VARIETY
Board of Public Works Is Rejoiced to
Get South Holman Street
Off Its Hands.

The board of public works this morn
ing took official action on the wishes of
the Soouth Holman street property
owners and ordered the city engineer
to prepare plans and specifications for
the paving of the street with asphalt
macadam. a pavement that is used on
some of the thoroughfares in Chicago
and other cities.
This decision on the part of the South
Holman street property owners to
have their highway dressed with this
material is the result of squabbles
which have lasted many weeks and dur
ing which almost all kinds of pave
ments have been proposed. The board
of public works rescinded the brick
pavement action and this throws out
metropolitan block and producers of
which have been trying hard to get
their brick in Hammond
! Two Kinds for Ogden Street.
i The east half of Ogden street from
Holman street to the Monon railroad
will also be paved with asphalt ma
cadam, the property owners having pre-
sented a petition to this effect The
property owners on the street having
demonstrated against the Westrumite
pavement, proposed for this street by
the board of public works, that body
rescinded that action to give way to
wishes of the property owners. The
property owners along ogden street
from Holman street to the state line
desire to have their end of the street
paved with vitrifed brick and the city
engineer was instructed to draw up
plans and specifications accordingly
Quite a delegation from both streets
were present to await the action of the
board.
Work Is Delayed.
The resembling of the boards actor
regarding the South Holman stree,
pavement means that the board mus

another three weeks. and If there is
hitch then the prospects are that the

Z knotty Question Answered by
Blacksmith Preacher.

| NnottJ QueStion answered pI n
Blacksmith Preacher.
Many years ago there lived in one Of
the mountain counties Of Tennessee G
blacksmith who to his reputation for
| honest work during the week added
that of being n powerful exhorter on
Sundays. Held in high esteem by his
neighbOrS, possessed Of a sufiiciency Of
this worlds goods for that primitive
community, he seemed to have solved
the question of terrestrial happiness
but the thorn in the flesh" IS indigo
nous TO all climes and conditions, and
for the blacksmith it grew in the per
son of one Tom Bradley, a tall, lank
mountaineer, who was the wit and
wag Of the neighborhood and who also
occupied the unenyiable position Of
,keptic In that orthodox community.
Tom delighted TO prod the smith with
certain inexplicable Biblical state
ments, and these encounters sometimes
resulted disastrously for the exhorter,
causing him much humiliation and
making him. as he said, 'wrassle in
prayer and cry to the Lord and spare

Once at the yearly camp meeting the
old man was giving his experience"
IN the tone and manner that were con-
sidered devotional In those parts. "My

FORCING of tomatoes.

In eastern Virginia the forcing of
tomatoes in greenhouses can be done
more cheaply than in the north, owing
to the Astounding sunshine in winter
and the absence of the long, dark
spells common on the northern At
lantic coast. For this reason less fuel
will be needed. But the man who un-
dertakes tomato forcing in any make
shift house will find that his expert
ence has cost him good deal. In
fact, forcing under glass calls for a
high degree Of skill on the part of the
gardener, remarks a writer in the
Southern Planter. But in the south
Atlantic coast country the tendency Is
In that direction. The use of steam in
the cloth covered lettuce frames in
North Carolina is one step toward real

In the big pass tarpOn can best be

In shallow water the tarpOn hpS

the surface like a bullet from a gun
aud in the first wild shake of his head
thrown hook and bait fifty feet in the
air. and one even sent fOIr ounce
leaden sinker flying over my heiHrroD
nearly twice thai distance. Other tar
pom when struck came straight up
from the bottom, one grazing our gun
vale as he rose and another leaping
over the stern Of the canoe. AS soon
as a tarpon was tired enough to let us
pull the canoe beside him we removed
the hook from his mouth and let him
swir. home to his family. 1t happened
once that a tarpon was less tired than
we had assumed. On that occasion we
swan home. and he had good man
story to tell his friends.
1t had been counted poor year for
tarpOn. "et in fifteen consecutive days
Of fshi.g we were fast to forty-four

us from one to twelve times. This
high wafer mark of twelve jumps was
made by a tarpon which was stimu-

IA, winter pruning; b, spring pruning

stake used will depend on the variety
of vine and method Of pruning to BIZ
ultimately adopted.
For ordinary short pruning the stake
| should be of such length that, after
being driven into the ground, sufficient
will be below the surface to keep ii
firm and prevent its being loosened by
the force Of the wind acting ON the

inches above the height at which 1t Is
intended to head the vines II should
be from one and u quarter to one and
half inches square. according to its
length.
If the vines are to be pruned long
and the canes tied to the stake, five
foot stake will usually be needed, and
this must be stronger, 2 by 2 inches
square. This stake should be driven
two feet into the ground.
These dimensions are all smaller
than are usual In California, but are
quite sufficient for all practical pur-
poses. This stake should be placed
one to two inches from the vine on
the side opposite to the prevailing

MISSION OF A COUNTRY PAPER.

No country paper should publish
all the news. 1t should be brave
enough to tell the truth when it will
count for good, and big enough to
suppress it when only a vulgar APP
petite is to be pandered to and an ad-
ditional pain given to some heart
that already is sorrowing. This is
the opinion expressed by A. A. Smith,
publisher of the Port Angeles Wash. }
Tribune Times. 1t is not every coun-
try newspaper man who has arrived
at the state of makeup where this
is possible, but that he will do go.
after having served in the harness the
better part of twenty years, is GER
tain, if he loves his calling and grows
with it to the stage where the mel
Icing effects of middle age dictate his
point of view.
1t is a growth, the true realization
of the real mission of country news
paperdom. And when it's disciple
has learned that he best exemplifies
his craft when he treads the modest
pathway of printing, in mellow tones,
all the news of his home town that is
printable without sting. that sympa-
thizes with the sorrowing, exults with
the glad, preathes loyalty and helpful
ness, buries vice, ignores scandal, and
makes always for right living and
the common COED. he has reached his
true niche, point of usefulness in
profession that needs no apologies as
it marches on with the other evil
deuces of the upward trend of the
race.
