While Homewood property has been
going up in leaps and bounds. north
side property has not been idle, is
evidenced by a transfer in which two
additions. the Huehn and T. E. Bell sec
tions, changed hands. Paul B. Lipin-
ski, one of the city's big real estate
dealers and Bert Escher township as
SCISSOR, are the new owners-Lipinski
having acquired an undivided two-third
interest and Escher the remaining one

involved.

Paul 3. Lipinski has at all times been
a most ardent booster for the north
side. He sees great development for
the future. claiming this district as a
| desirable resident district. especially in
| view of the fact that Hammond will
always be the leading city in the region
for homes.
He points out a general revival in
the real estate market not only here,
but in the other towns. Recently he
sold two houses and four lots in the
Bell and Hoffman addition in East Chi
cago. He has also disposed Of his
property which ne held at the corner
of Gostlin and Cameron streets. This
5O-foot lot is improved with a frame
store building and was sold to Theodore

not been working in vain. Through
their activities they have drawn atten-
tion to the desirable features in this

SAD NEWS
COMES To
MOTHER
Mrs. j. P. Connell, 266 State
Street, Receives Letter
From Boone, Iowa, Tell
ing Her Of Shocking Ac-
cident to Her Son.

Shocking news came last evening to
Mrs. j. P. Connell, 266 State street,
when she received a message from
Boone, Ia. telling her of the injuries
which her son, P. F. Connell, had re-
ceived there last night
Further details from Superintendent
T. H. HammiI of the Northwestern
were to the effect that the young man.
who is only u years old. suffered the
loss of both legs and that his back and
head were bruised. He was riding on
the truss rods of a passenger train and
fell asleep while the train was satnd-
ing still. When the train started he
fel off with the above results. He
was hurried To the hospital at Council
Bluffs, and his Hammond friends are
anxiously awaiting word from his bed
side.
The mother is prostrate from the
shock regarding the news about her
only child. From the telegram it can
be taken that his chances for recovery
are very slim, and consequently she is
torn with doubt as to whether il is best
to hurry to his bedside or remain in
Hammond to await the arrival Of the
dead body. She bore up bravely last
night after receiving the first message
but this was largely due to the fact
that the telegram did not tell the ex-
tent of his injuries. When more de
| tailed information arrived this morning
she was almost beside herself with anx-
iety. DIR. C w. Chidlaw was called to
give her medical attention. Her condi-
ton was not thought to be serious
! however.

in the Standard Steel Car works as a

About Hardness.

There is no more beneficial tonic
than good, hearty laughter. 1t in
fiates the lungs and has a magic ef-
feet upon the system. Giggling is not
laughing, and it is habit that brings
wrinkles and soon spoils even a pref
ty face. Why not laugh? 1t improves
the appearance and makes one popu-
lar. There is nothing to be glum ever,
and, II there Is, being glum will not
help 1t. Be happy and bright and
everyone will wish 10 help you. The
girl who wants to be beautiful must
sleep with fresh air. plenty of II. in
her room. She must go out and revel
in the sunshine. She must find plenty
Of laughter in her daily life. That Is
the only true way to live and the only
way capable Of bringing beauty.
