COMMON COURTESY.

Is that old-fashioned courtesy
lauded by our grandmothers who
were, dear old ladies, personifications
of perfect and gentle manners, pass
ing out along with those others in
stitutions of yesterday which have
discovered themselves to be inappli-
cable to the present day? Is that
quiet, courtly demeanor of the coun-
try squire in the presence of his
neighbors, passing out along with
that portly gentleman of the old
school? The gods forbid. Yet GER
tain incidents, unpleasant in nature,
have occurred in recent date to give
ground to a justifiable fear.
Nowhere is the selfishness and
thoughtlessness of the individual so
painfully apparent as when a people
are congregated, ! care not whether
it be at church, or circus, or theatre,
or dance hall. Even the most digni-
fled and forgiving of men is detected
jostling the elbow OF the next man in
the effort to gain a coveted point OF
vantage. We are not long in sur
prising a woman of note dropping
her familiar mask of smiles to frown
savagely upon woe-begone individu
al of the opposite sex who has had
the misfortune to trample upon her
skirt. The well-bred child snatches
a candy from his sisters hand and
his well-bred sister demeans her ten
years development by wailing loudly.
Self-conscious in our Sunday-best
we sing Lend a Helping Hand" re-
fusing, meanwhile, to note the fact
that the somewhat shabby woman at
the end of the pew has no hymnal.
We trample the toes of our neigh
Dor and obscure the vision of the
man in the next seat at the theatre
with alluring and costly headgear.
We jostle the dancer and whistle
loudly the strains of the orchestra at
the dance hall and by the vulgar
childish Kisses of a, mob we drown
out the man at town meeting of whom
common sensed and well-directed
speech is always to be expected, thus
declaring ourselves inimical TO the
very principle of liberty and free
speech upon which this country was
builded. We desecrate Memorial Day
with the sports of the day and we talk
loudly through the orchestral selec-
tons at the army hall and stamp our
way from the building just as the or
ator of the day is introduced, thus
proclaiming ourselves ready to insult
the speaker with our lack of sympa-
thy with the memorial tribute he de-
sires to pay the dead heroes of the
Nation.
In the familiar little group of peo-
pie with whom we are in contact in
the home, the display of such dis
courtesies would classify us as
boorish and vulgar and ill-manner-
ed. What is there to justify our
dropping our thoughtfulnenss to-
ward others in a crowd or a congre-
cation and belittling ourselves in the
eyes of our community by obnoxious
or, at least, unmannerly bearing?
Let us cultivate more tenderly the
flower of courtesy that we may not
again be detected in that conduct of
speech or action which is manifestly
that of the vulgar and the common
and the untaught.

Agreeable work, performed in the

all kinds of art fabrics, clay model

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the
chief advocates of tea as a harmless
stimulant for men doing severe ply
steal work. On his hunting trips he
always uses it in preference to any
other drink He finds it more stimu-

liquor. In his interesting descriptions
of big game hunting in the West he
tells frequently of the restorative
properties tea offers to hunters worn
out by long travel in stormy weather.

SERVICE

The patrons of the Hammond. Whit

wants an owl service. The necessity
has become more and more apparent
with the approach of the winter sea-

For example, the last car to go south

from Chicago gets into Hammond at

If the Monon is on time and the

of public works, of which John J. Ny

noon awarded the contract for the First
street pavement to the Cain Construc-
ton company for $4,000, while the bid
of the Interstate Construction compa-
ny of Hammond, the lowest bidder by
six thousand dollars, was ignored The
bid of the Interstate Construction COM
pany in round figures was 100000
The decision of the board was reach
ed on the ground that the check of the
Interstate Construction company which
accompanied the bid was not large
enough to cover the bid. The Inter
state check was s3.50O, while that OF
the Cain Construction company was
$3.50, twenty dollars larger than the
Interstate check. Contractors say that
the Interstate check was large enough
to cover a bid of thirty thousand dol
lars higher

CRIME IS
CHARGED
Shocking Criminal Offense
Laid at Door Of Brutal
Burglars; McKeller- Ferg
uson- Clyde Case to Come
Up in Superior Court.

What is believed to have been one
of the most heinous crimes in the his
tory of Lake county will be revealed
in the next two days in the trial of
Dan McKeller, charged with burglariz-
ing the home of Mrs. Marie Clyde, Ais
Sibley street. James Furgeson is being
held on the same charge.
While the charge against McKeller is
burglary, it is understood that another
charge. far more terrible, is being held
over his head and in the event of
failure to convict on the charge of bur-
glary the other will be pressed.
Attorney Ralph w. Ross is appearing
for the state and Attorney Joseph Con-
roy for the defense. Conroy admits
that he is going to have a hard time to
clear his client.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed on the night of Oct. 81 at
the home of Mrs. Clyde. Her husband
was at work and she was alone when
two men sought to be admitted.
Facts UnprintabIe.
They were refused admission, but
later called again and forced an en-
trance to the house. Then, according
to the testimony that was introduced at
the preliminary hearing, they proceed
ed to assail Mrs. Clyde in a most brutal
and atrocious manner.
The whole facts of this assault have
never been printed and never will be.
Mrs. Clyde's eyes were b1ackened and
she was beaten and bruised. The house
was robbed of the few valuables the
robbers were able to find.
In the preliminary hearing both Dan
McKeller and James Furgeson admitted
that they were SO badly Intoxicated
that they had spent the entire day go
ing from saloon to saloon and order
ing drinks.
Furgeson stated under oath that he
must have had seventy-f1v whiskies
in him at the time. However, the law
does not recognize drunkenness as an
excuse for crime. and if the defendants
are found guilty they will have to suf-
fer for their offense
Too Drunk to Escape
1t was only because the men were
so intoxicated that they had not yet
come to an appreciation of the enormi-
ty of their crime.
They were still going from saloon to
saloon for drinks when they were ar
rested and taken to jail. Dan McKeller
lives in Hammond, but James Furgeson
claims Buffalo as his place of resi-
dence and says that he is a chimney
