Progress Is Slow.

With the rules and regulations for
the autmobile races being framed by
the governing body last week, the pro-
gress toward soliciting entries has been
necessarily slow and not much news
of interest concerning the event has
been issued from headquarters. 1t is
said now that the racers will not use the
Crown Point residence streets. but will
make the connection of the laps over
the road running south of the Crown
cemetery. The latest news from Chica-
go IS as follows:
Chairman Joseph F. Gunther of the
contest committee of the Chicago Au-
tomobile club announced last night
that the route of the two road races on
June IS and 10 will not have to be run
through Crown Point, Ind. as first
contemplated. A slight change has
been made by which the race will be
run little south of the Hoosier Gret-
ma Green. This will eliminate all the
work of boarding up the streets of
Crown Point so that the race could
run through its avenues.
Frank H. Trego. who is general
executive Of the races, and also a civil
engineer. made a survey last week and
found that a stretch of road could be
built quarter of a mile. half a mile
from the Crown Point city hall, by
which 1t would be possible to connect
the east and west legs of the course
BY making this change the east leg
of the course is shortened about half
q mile, which will make the grand
stand just a mile and half from the
northeast end of the circuit-just an
easy walk from Crown Point. In order
to get to the parking spaces opposite
the grand stand there will be another
special road built across a field which
will obviate the necessity of crossing
the course at more than one place,
which win be close to Crown Point.
Interest in the race continues to
grow and each day brings out promises
of additional entris"

A Rare Treat.

Rare Treat.
The members of the Congregational
church realized that It was a rare treat
to once again be given the opportuni-
ty Of hearing their old pastor, Rev.
J. M. Artman, and turned out in large
numbers at both the morning and even
ing services.
In the morning Rev. ]. NJ Artman
used as the text of his sermon, The
True Meaning of Christianity" which
proved to be an excellent discourse.
Special music was sung at the morn
ing services by the choir, and an excel
lent vocal solo was also rendered by
J. Roy Morrison. which was much ap-
preciated.
In the evening Rev. Artman also de-
livered an excellent sermon, and the
music was under the direction of Mrs.

EnuIand's Patron Saint.

The story of EngIand's patron saint
is surrounded by mixture of truth
and fable which defies definite sitting.
He is generally believed to have been
born at Lydia. but bronght up in Cap
padocia. aud suffered .mnrtyrdom in
the reign of Docletiau, A. d. 3O3. The
legend of his conflict with the dragon
may have arisen from Il Symbnlical or
allegorical representation OF his con
test with the pagan prosecutors. When
our crusaders went to the east in 1906
they found st. George elevated 10 the
rank of warrior saint. with the, title
Of the victorious" and as they be-
lieved that they were indebted to him
for aid in the siege Of Antioch they
adopted him as the patron of soldiers.
Edward III. was thus led to make him
patron of the Order OF the Garter, and
so gradually st. George became the tu
telary saint of England. london Mail.

Pleasure and Sacrifice.

An alert little five-year-old was visit
ing a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan bOats as
they passed through in the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have a ride
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all and. as her mother urged
her. broke forth In tears.
This sudden fear was SO different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying: Come along! Come
along! Ride clear round the pond.
