of the Valparaiso eleven at the local
grounds on Court street, Saturday aft
ernoon. This makes the fourth sue
cessive defeat for the Crown Point
high school and the rooters of the team
are getting discouraged. Inability Of
Crown Point to gain ground at crucical

A fistic encounter between two of
our citizens on Saturday caused quite
little excitement around town. 1t is
said that the affair resulted from lit

forgotten until it was rehatched on
Saturday.
Many of Crown Points Bryanites are
arranging to go to Gary on next Sat

The Gary contingent are making great
effort to outdo the recent republican

Lake county recently for democratic
uses their efforts will meet with some
success.
Why the term the great Commoner'
should be applied to Bryan is a fact
that is interesting a good many repub-
licans at present. To an outsider not
knowing the facts they would suppose
that Bryan started in from the lowest
walks of life, and would not look at
any one that drew more than s12.5o

New York, Oct 2.-It was the Arst anniversary of Alice Farrell's marriage, and she sat down to weep because her husband, John, did not support her. So she went to Magis- trate Higginbotham in the Gates ave nue police court, Brooklyn, yester- day and got summons.
 When the pair lined up before the magistrate he looked them over and then asked the girl:
 How old are you?"
 II am IT," she answered, "and nohn is 22."
 "Sit down while and say not a word to each other until I figure out how We stand. We mustn't have a blue day to start the second year of welded life with" ordered the court.
 At the end of 10 minutes the couple started up from a period of spooning and approached the bar, hand in hand. John said he would work his hands to the bone to SUD- port Alice.
 "The sentence of the court is that you this day take your wife to the theater and aftsrward to supper, and here are the papers," announced the magistrate, passing a new $10 bill over the railing. "Now go and be happy"

A Neiuhino Cock,

Camden says the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore cockney means simply one who lives on the banks of the Thames. Wedg- wood says cockney, or cockerney, is one pampered by city indulgence, in contradistinction to rustics hardened by outdoor work. There is, however, a legend, almost too good to be true namely, that Londoner who had never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells had occasion to go into the country and was detained all night. He was much disturbed by the lowing of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand. and in par ticular he was frightened by the crow ing of the cock. In the morning, in response to the farmers inquiries, he said the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Just at that mo- ment the cock crowed again, and the Londoner said: That's the one! He's been neighing like that for hoursw Since then Londoners have been called cockneighs or cockneys.
