Sh1p-Wrecked in the Sewer, or How

title of beautiful little ballad, now
ready for publication, written by Mil

is a wonderful blend of comedy and
pathos, and the substance of which
no one could conceive, without having
himself experienced the terrible sensa-
ton, which together with a fund of
humor, and a full appreciation of a
good joke resulted in the marvellous
creation.

Housewives Are Duped.
In the past few weeks there have
been many housewives in Gary, who.
upon seeing the trusty countrymen
dressed in overalls, straw hats and
with a red handkerchief about their
neck, have, without question. purchased
their butter and eggs, and have been
disillusioned only upon finding that the
product is the poorest that could be
purchased from any reputable store or
dealer.
This is the latest gag" that has
been sprung in this region of a like
character. 1t has been unquestionably
successful until the last few days, when
several Of the housewives have been so
bitterly victimized that they are not
falling to the ruse as easily as they
have heretofore. The report comes TO
this office that last Monday a peddIer
disguised as a farmer canvassed the
city from house to house, selling eggs
The man looked suspicious to one of
the housewives, who questioned him as
to where his farm was located. He
only replied that he lived near Hobart
but could give no satisfactory reply.
A dozen eggs were purchased by the
woman and half of them were found
bad and the remainder were far from
being fresh. Throughout the neigh
borhood the women were victtmized in
the same manner by this man, who
disposed of large amount of produce.
