Faint Heart.

A LIAM A. RYAN. president of the
IA Aero Club, was discuss ng c. Gra-
hame- Whites controversy over the statue
of liberty prize.
'Grahame White could have flown that
final Monday" said Mr.. Ryan. His record
could have been taken for international
appeal But, for all his protesting. he
didn't fly. Hence he rather reminded me
of the pretty schoolma am.
"A pretty schoolma am, you know.
once taught school in a Long Island viii
lage. All the young fellows for miles
around We're mad about her. but the
schoolma' am was proud. and none of the
boys seemed to stand the ghost OF Q
chance.
Young Jim Brown, the judges son,
was the best-looking chap in the town,
and Jim probably loved the school,
ma'am more than any of her other
swans. but he never had the pluck to
declare himself. He felt too small and
mean before the beauty and learning Of
the schoolma am. But one day, the
schooma'am being away on visit in
New York state. Jim asked advice OF the
editor. The editor said
Take the bull by the horns and in
sert an announcement OF your f0rthcom-
ing marriage in my society column. 1t
will cost ysu ot0ly 30 cents
so Jim inserted an announcement to
the effect that the scuualma' am and he
would be married the next month and
would spend their honeymoon st Atlantic
City.
We'll. a short time after this announce
ment appeared. the schoolma am Ilma
back home. Jim heard on all sides how
furious she was. For several days he
kept away from her. Then. one after
noon, as she coming home from
school, he ran plump into her in the lane
She let him know at once what she
thought of him and his outrageous con-
duct. She stormed and raved. and her
pretty eyes flashed fire. Jim stood first
on one foot and then on the other and
finally he blurted out:
Well, if you don't like il l can have
the announcement contradicted.
oh. bother it, said the schoolma' am,
its too late now.

CONTRACT
WILL Be
DISCUSSED

There will be meeting in Weis' hall
Monday, at which the matter of letting
the electric light contract in Hammond
will be taken up. number of the
business men of the city want to know
several things about this proposition
before it is acted upon by the city
council.
One OF the questions that is being
asked Is this: If the city council per-
mits another competing company to en-
ter the field there will be the necessity
of erecting another set of poles in the
business district.
In view of the fact that there are
now telephone. telegraph. electric light
and street railway poles in the street
the addition Of another set would
make the street look as though a mon
ster picket fence had been erected on
either side. Streets all over will be
split wide open and great havoc done
to paving.
There are other matters that will
come up for consideration The motive
Of the local business men in putting
up their capital for the purpose of
competing with company that is al
ready giving good service will be in
quired into.

West Hammond. The father has had
possession of the child since the sepa-
ration, but last Thursday the mother
prompted by her love for the child took
1t from the Hammond home and placed
her in a West Hammond home Within
less than thirty minutes the father
however. had possession of it again,
he having snatched 1t from the floor
and carried 1T across the line while
the outwitted mother followed.
The case is one of the first to be
tried next Sunday. and possession of
the child will be given only for such
time until the court has disposed of
the proceedings, which are fled and
which will come up later.

WHY THEY

Intricacy of Traction Ques
tion Clarified by Explana-
tion of Manager Green,
Who Points Out Impor-
tant Feeder Service.

Manager Green. of the Hammond
Whiting & East Chicago Railway com
pany, known as the Green Line, today
explained why 1T is that his company
wants an additional line to East Chi
cago.
Mr.. Green points out that with the
extension of the line from East Chi
cago to Indiana Harbor. there will be
two important feeders pouring their
traffic into the single Hammond line
on Forsyth avenue and One Hundred
and Fifetfeth street.
One important branch extends from
Whiting in a southerly direction to
the city of East Chicago. The other
proposed branch will extend from
Burlington to Indiana Harbor and
points of these two lines will be at
One Hundred and Forty first street in
East Chicago.
Where these two important branches
merge, at the intersection of One Hun
dred and Forty first street and For
syth avenue, 1t will be necessary to
double track Forsyth avenue to One
Hundred and Fifetieth street The
double track will be necessary to pre-
vent a congestion of the traffic

6 P. M.)-There was much mys-
tery here today for a time over the

learned that Sheriff Grant was
closeted for some time with Gov

the governors private secretary.
Later this afternoon it developed
that Mr.. Grants business with the

Hammond as anywhere, but it was

WILL Be A
CANDIDATE

Roy Seeley of Hammond, for some
time past an assistant in the Hammond
office of County Surveyor W. F. Bridge.
today announces his candidacy for the
office which Bridge expects soon to re
linquish.
Seeleys decision to enter the race
was only made after a careful canvass
of the political situation in this end
of the county.
His friends here have given him con-
siderable encouragement and Seeley
believes that he can land the nomina-
tion without doubt. In view of the
fact that Hammond has only one other
candidate for county office, Seeley
believes that his candidacy will meet
with favor.
