East Chicago Wins Second
Battle in Bi-State Polo
Game.

East Chicago Ind, Jan. IS. - East
Chicago won her second game in the
Indiana Illinois Roller Polo league on
Saturday night by defeating the Eng
lewood aggregation by a score of 6 to
2 The game was witnessed by the
largest crowd that has ever attended
the local rink and the efforts of both
teams were well applauded. Steve Ny
land, at half showed to better advan-
tage than in his former games and let
very few balls get past his station.
Heintz, Carroll and Mitchell were on
the ground at every moment of play
while Curley Kimble, of course, was
always ready with his little goal stick
The Englewood players played a good
clean game and show unusual improve
ment owed their first ga meotnht
ment over their first game on the East
Chicago floor. The wrangling that has
heretofore spoiled the interest in the
polo games was entirely lacking on
Saturday night and Clyde Hunter of
Gary, as referee, had no trouble in
urging the acceptance of his decisions.
On Wednesday night Manager Lewis
has arranged a basketball game with
the Baptist A. A. of Hammond to be
played at o'clock On Thursday
night the Indiana Harbor team will
come to East Chicago-to be defeated,
according to Manager Heintz-and on
Friday night the third game of the
polo season will be played at East Chi
cago with the Luna park team as the
opponents. The basket ball game on
Wednesday night should prove a de-
sirable attraction to relieve the monot-
ony of the polo games and Captain
Hascall believes he can lead his men
to victory. Swartz, Morrison, Garrett
Mcintosh, McShane, Henry and Hascall
will comprise the team
The lineup Of the Saturday night
polo game was as follows:

American Horses.

The development of types Of light
horses has been notable in the United
States, but, according to a bulletin re-
Gently issued by the department of ag-
riculture, with a single exception tho
draft-hoYses have been foreign strains
transplanted. OF the light horses, the
Narragansett PAGER was a famous type
in colonial days. Later came the Nor
gan, the standardized and the saddle
horse. The specialization Of these
types has been a national business
and, in spite of importations from
abroad, the native stock has developed
and held its own. OF draft-horses, on
tbs other hand, the only native type
was the Conestoga, a breed that has
now become completely extinct, and
has left no discernible traces on the
native stock. For heavy work, there
fore, Americans must depend entirely
upon the imported Percherons, Clydes-
dayes and 'Shires. The national traits
which have resulted in these condi-
tions are evidently somewhat different
from what has been supposed; for the
speed mania is what has caused the
light types of horse to be developed
and the heavy ones to be neglected.
American breeders have sacrificed
other qualities, which, in the opinion
of the department of agriculture, are
more important, in order to lower track
records by a second or two. In the
minds of most persons, Virginia, Ken
lucky and other parts of the south are
most commonly associated with the
pedigrees and development of the
finest types Of horses. To all who hold
that opinion it will be instructive to
trace, through the pages of the bulle-
tin, the number of great strains of rae
ing, carriage and saddle blood which,
although commonly associated with
the south, in reality go directly back
to New England.

Several improvements are likely In
the post Office il the plans of experts
are adopted. The postal committee Of
congress, appointed two years ago, will
recommend that q permanent director
OF posts, with seven assistants, be pro-
vided for, and that the four Offices Of
assistant postmaster general be abol-
ished. Postmaster General Meyer is
urging postal savings banks and rural
parcels post, and his probable success
sor, Mr.. Hitchcock, favors these i'm
provements. The parcels post will
probably be profitable to the depart
ment, besides comforting benefit on the
public. The deficit this year is the lar.
gest ever reported-nearly $17,000,000
and although the post Office is not in
tended to make money, any effort to
put 1t on a paying basis should meet
with favor in congress.

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia found q
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
Jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
1T is two years since we began u.s.
ing Postum in our house. l was great
ly troubled with my stomach, complex
ion was blotchy and yellow. After
meals often suffered sharp pains and
would have to lie down. My mother
often told me it was the coffee drank
at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd
have severe headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
I have no more trouble. Indigestion is
a thing of the past, and my complex
ion has cleared up beautifully. \
MY grandmother suffered great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try
Postum which she has used for over
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to do
for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum"

Talk as they will about fashion, the
men are as subservient to its DEGREES
as women. There was a time when
most men wore boards; indeed, at one
time it was regarded as wicked to
shave. Yet of "a governors elected last
November, Gov. Hughes of New York
is the only one who does not shave
some part of his face, and nine Of the
new governors are clean-shaven. A few
years ago, says the Youths Compan-
ion, every mothers son in any photo

had his hair parted in the middle and
plastered fat above the ears. Nova

way down on one side. twenty-five
years ago college seniors wore boards

where's the keyhole?"
Then remembered. There amt
any keyhole," 1 says. There's no
lock on the door,"
Then what? Come on, Martin"
He set his shoulder to the door and
commenced to shove. Me and Hart
ley helped, and the door begun to
open. 1t opened slow, because the din
ing table and two or three chairs and
the chest of drawers was braced
against it. We got in finally.
Bring the lamp" says Hartley. I
done it. The room was empty.
"James!" hollers Van. James,"
The closet door opens just crack.
Then it swung wide and his lordship,
half dressed and white as an old clam
shell, staggers into the room.
"Oh!" says he. "Oh, Mr.. Van
Brunt, sir!"
He was shaking like palsy.
What ails you, man?" says Hartley.
Speak up"
The valet rolls his eyes around to
me.
'1 seen it." he says. 'T seen it plain.
It's 'im!"
Him? Who?" says I.
"The ghost. The old cove as owned
this 'ouse. e was up in my room
awaiting for me-"
What are you talking about?" asks
Van, impatient. l begun to see light,
but the Heavenlies didn't-not yet.

Lord James, wild like. Il 'ad me coat

around, and wreaths. It's a warning

And then we began to laugh.
'The presents!" says Van, between
roars. "Scudder's heirlooms. Ho! ho."
His lordship stared at US like he
thought we was crazy. I more than
half pitied him. Martin did too. /
! guess. for he says:
Barbour County index., 1909-01-27

He's had troubles enough for one day"
But you couldn't stop that Van Brunt
critter when he got started.
He makes me load the presents in
my arms and takes the lamp and leads
the way upstairs. And then he sets to
work and hangs them presents round
Lord James room. He put the coffin
plates over the washstand at the foot
of the bed, and the wreath over the
head, and hung the picture of Marcel
lus over the looking-glass and the
shell work by the closet door.
''Now." says he, ''for the motto-the
crowning touch. Where? Where?"
Finally he hung it on top of the
bureau.
Perhaps" says he, 'its influence
may make James more motherly; who
knows?"
Then we went downstairs and he
made me promise to say nothing.
Then he was for waking his lordship
up and ordering him to bed right
then, but his chum wouldn't hear of it.
Martin said let the poor fellow have his
nap out. He knew how he felt. So
Van give in after awhile.
Pretty soon Hartley got tired of
waiting and said he was going to turn
in; he was played out, he said. Van
wanted to wait longer, but he didn't.
He went to bed, too. At half-past ten
or so my round of chores was done
and sung out to Lord James to wake
up and come in because l wanted to
| lock up. But he wouldn't.
Let me alone" he says, pleading.
I'm 'appy for the first time in ours
I'll lock up; myself, by and by, be

and went aloft and turned it. And II
didn't take me long to get to sleep,
tell you.
What woke me up was howl like

Hartley. Nov that the relatives have

Bury 'em?" says Van. 'Not much.
They're too dreamily beautiful. Mar

holding up his hand. 81 have an idea.

together.
''Of course, to James. James is fu-

Nothing from Nothing Leaves Nothing

Nothin9 from Nothing Leaves Nothing.
Recently a man wrote to the New
York Times saying that he was little
over so years of age, and having
worked all of his life to acquire enough
money to make him independent, and
having succeeded, he had retired, and
was now trying to make himself happy
with nothing to do. He passed five
hours day iu reading, three hours in
exercise and eating, which left him
eight hours, which he found it hard to
dispose Of. His letter was in the ma
ture Of lament. His bubble had burst.
What he had dreamed of being able to
do all his life had come true, and was
an empty vanity. Foolish man! ex-
claims Life. The independence that
money brings with it is the least of all
our independencies. And where it en-
ables a man to improve himself, it al
most invariably leads to his deteriora-
ton. To criticize ones creator is sure
ly In bad taste; perhaps it should
rather be said in his praise therefore,

for us in the way of permanent satis-
faction than being compelled to work
