INDIANA HARBOR.

The residence of Edgar Singer at
One Hundred and Thirty eighth and
Grapevine was entered by burglars on
Thursday night and a gold watch and
chain belonging to Mrs. Singer was ia
ken. The thieves gained entrance
through a rear window and escaped.
without rousing the family.
Mrs. Hughes, wife of Dr. Hughes, is
reported very low with typhoid fever
Postmaster A. G. Lundquist is sitting
up today for the first time since his
relapse three weeks ago.
Fred Gastel has severed his connec-
/. tion with the Indiana Harbor Building
company and has rented the old post
office building to open real estate and
brokerage business.
An attempt was made last night to
enter the residence of Ben Roop, 1904
Fir street. While nothing was heard
by the family during the night a step
ladder was found this morning against
the house and under a window. The
screen of the window had been taken
out and was on the ground near by
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-06-20

as was also number of pots of paint
which had been standing between the
screen and the window. The window
showed evidences of an attempt having
been made to force 1t, but the lock was
still intact and the marauders un-
doubtedly failed to get in.
Just to show the difference between
fishermen, Louis Ducklin and Gus John
son were out four hours this morning
and caught two small fish, but Billy
Pickle and John Ranselow were in the
same place three hours and brought
home a nice fifty pound string Of fish.
1t should, in all justice to Duckler and
Johnson be stated, however, that this
story came from Pickle 1t was also
reported by Mr.. Pickle that John Os-
terling caught fifteen pounds of fish
in a boat but he neglected to say
whether Mr.. Osterling got away with
the fish before the owners of the boat
appeared or not. Come on with your
fish stories, boys, only please try and
be as conservative as possible.

WHY SHE "sHook" HER FRIEND.
Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When
Purchasing Shoes.

A woman sat down in the shoe de-
partlnent of a New York store and
babe the clerk hurry Il left friend
at the lace counter" she said, "and
/ want to get my shoes fitted before
she gets here"
The clerk apparently appreciated
the circumstances. He worked fast,
and in an incredibly short time the
woman had selected three satisfactory
pairs of shoes.
Il wonder why she was so anxious
to get through before her friend
came" remarked another customer.
For the same reason that makes
every woman want to shop alone when
buying shoes" laughed the clerk. "She
has rather a large foot, and she didn't
want her friend to find out what num-
Der she wears. 1t is seldom that the pur-
chasers of shoes shop in pairs. They
may hang together when buying any
thing else in the store, but when ii
comes to shoes each woman strikes
out for herself. The only exception is
the woman who has an unusually
small foot She would take her whole
list Of acquaintance along when buy
ing shoes If she could"

LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL
High Church Dienitary Had Name to
Sign to Check.

A comical story is told Of the arch
bishop of York, who is an ardent fish
erman. Not long ago he betook him
self for few days to a little Yorkshire
village, which boosted a good trout
stream, and put up at clean but mod
est hotel.
His grace on his arrival informed
the landlord who he was, and on leav-
ing wrote a check for his bill and
handed it to his host
The landlord closely scanned the
signature and asked: What name is
this?"
wv Ebor," answered his grace.
"Ah," said the landlord, as he peck
eted the check, Il thought you were
telling me falsehood when you told
me you were the archbishop of York"
The man evidently did not know
that an archbishop has a name like
an ordinary person.

FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE's PATH
Superior Mental Equipment Is Not Alb.
solutely Necessary.

If you are not very clever, don't be
discouraged. 1t Is not always the
brainy man, or the positive genius,
who makes Roadway. If nature has
only given you average brain power,
then make up for it by cultivating 9TH
er valuable qualities
Go in for genuine, honest work.
Take pride in doing every job well.
Turn out the very best article you can
produce. Do nothing as if it were
trifiing.
Earn for yourself reputation for
reliability and stanch honesty. Be
known as "a white man." These are
precious qualities. So is punctuality.
Cultivate a habit of turning up
promptly to time. Be as correct as
an English lever watch. Redeem your
promises. Be willing, keep your tenn
per we'll under control, and, by your
words and deeds, convince those
around you that you are to be trusted.
Just, then, think of your chances,
even If you are not a clever young per-
son. Buck up, like a good sort, and
succeed on these lines. There is
heaps of room for this class of com
modity.-Exchange

Pressed Clear THROUGH,

Children have a very fair idea OF
what constitutes justice, and decidedly
object to being punished more than
they think they deserve. A bright, lit
tie seven-year-old committed some
trifiing misdemeanor and was taken to
task very seriously by her mother.
After listening some time in silence,
Mabel said: What makes you keep
talking to me so. mamma?" Because"
replied the mother, Il want to impress
1t upon your mind so that you won't
do it again Well" was the response,
with the faintest CULVER of grief in her
voice, Il think I'm pressed clear
through now" What could the moth
er do but conclude that the lesson had
been sufficiently pressed" for the
time being, and send the little culprit
about her play?
