1.-The Woman Handicap"

lived triumph of the victor. Coming it does
after the suffrage story this narrative of the
eternal warfare of living things makes one
think little curiouslv Whether of four feet
or two, feathered or unfeathered creatures of
the earth can't seem to get away from the
fighting game in one form another 1t isn't
necessary to remind you of the beauty and
poetry of Mr. Roberts descriptions And
there isn't bit OF nature taking IN this story.
EVEN in romance there is endless warfare
- but in real romance the wicked get their
just deserts and the virtuous rewarded.
And with knowledge of that can plunge
into all manner of exciting things. There's no
lack of them in The Garden of Fate" You
know its people are bound to experience all
manner of fearsome things before the coming
of the gladstone time The next instalment has
IN it the story of the garden from which the
serial gets its name and it is a mighty moving
one in itself For the first time you begin to
have a glinmer of light about the mystery of
Buhammei the Moor and YOU will be more
eager than ever to know what is going to happen
next.

has a revelation Torchy the Wonderful
falls a victim to the fair sex. sweet young
thing called Tessie but she can't amount to
much for she threw him down for Budheimer
who IS pretty poor sort But it gives Torchy
an experience that almost turns his head. He
makes remarkable debut" into hall of
the gold spooners,' who are the very young
sons of very rich men, and awesome creatures
when you come to consider them in their true
perspective.
THE BLEAK ULTIMATE PLACE is
really strong and moving story by Maude
Radford Warren, the kind OF tale that gets
hold of you and makes you feel and think
little soberly-because in this case the bleak
ultimate place" turns out to be the land of
hearts desire. But you must read it to under
stand.

you will be wise to arrange for few hours
off when next SUNDAY MAGAZINE
reaches you, of which you will devote ten min
utes to reading The Confessions of an Anti.
by reformed Antisuffragst twenty minutes
to reading it over again and the rest of the
time to talking about it
TT doesn't make the slightest difference
whether your convictions are pro or anti, or if
you are on the fence so far as your enjoyment
of the article is concerned If YOU are agin'
woman suffrage you will find fuel for argu
ments set forth in the most brilliantly clever
style if you are careful in picking them out
and disregard the context. some managers
do when they quote criticisms of their plays.
For this article bristles with epigrams which
have meaning well wit. There are de-
scriptions of womankind that will make YOU
chuckle for you know exactly the folk they
fit. On the other hand if you believe in votes
for women you will be anxious to have this
article read by every man and woman in the
country even if you are little FESTIVE over a
few plain truths.
X/E think you will do lot of talking about
this article and you might mention in
cidentaly to those who haven't read it where
it was published, 1t will be very practical and
highly appreciated encouragement You see.
we doing our level best to publish really
good magazine and to have Others talk about
it helps us a lot If you would let us know
casonally what you think of the articles and
stories. we shall be very grateful. And this
applies to criticism as well praise.

Especial to THE TIMES. }


East Chicago, Ind, July 27.-Free de-
livery for East Chicago is practically
ar assured fact. Yesterday j. N Hen
men of Toledo, free delivery Inspector
for the states of Ohio and Indiana Wis
tied this city and. in company with
Postmaster Nose Specter. made a thor
ough inspection on the entire city. Aft
Ter this formality had been compliad
with Mr.. Hennen informed Mr.. Specter
that his report to headquarters would
be favorable. AS the inspectors word
is next thing to law, there seems lit
tie, If any, doubt that the plan for
free delivery will miscarry. The new
service will begin to take effect not
later than Oct l.
There is to be one disappointment.
Oklahoma cannot be included in the
service owing to the absence of side
walks. However as ordinances have
been passed providing for the construc-
tion of these it will be only a matter
of a short time before this territory
will share in the good fortune. When
the contracts for the paving and side
asked to put in the sidekalks first, in
order that the free delivery may be
established as speedily as possible.
| The plan as outlined by Postmaster
! Specter and concurred in by Inspector
Hennen provides for three routes ano
sixteen mail boxes The routes are tc
be as follows: No. l will take in the
| territory bounded on the north by 141si
| street, on the south by Chicago ave
rue, on the east by Railroad avenue

WELCOME HOME GENE
Gary Man Ousted Out of
Michigan City After Get
ting His Dates Mixed.

Officer Schlene Saturday evening ar
rested Gene Harrington for intoxica-
ton and he remained in Jail over night
He pleaded so hard and promised so
faithfully that he would make a stright
hike for Gary and remain away from
the city two fun years that he was re-
leased He disappeared from the city
forthwith The last time Gene left town
under similar circumstances he prom
ised TO remain away six months. but
in less than six weeks he was back.
He explained that he looked at the cal
endar from which three or four months
had been torn off in advance and this
deceived him into believing his period
OF exile was up. He says he'll see to il
that nobody hands him anything like
that again.-Michigan City Dispatch

Northcote and I50th; Magoun and

There is one thing that Postmaster
Specter wishes made plain. That is
that no mail will be delivered at any
house not provided with a number and
o letter box or slot cut in the front
door. and which has no sidewalk in
front of it, This is not an arbitrary
rule laid down by the local powers that
be, but comes straight from headquar-
! tiers at Washington. Mail carriers are
instructed IS ignore all houses not thus
provided. For example, if there is one
house in the middle OF a block where
sidewalks are laid in front of all the
houses but 1t, the absence of that one
sidewalk places the house without the
pale of the service. The same thing
applies as to the numbering of houses
and the matter OF mail boxes.

and when II was delivered to him he
failed to buy a drink. Mike Plesa was
hit on the head with a cleaver Tues
day night BY Nicholas Tworch. the bar
tender. He will live to tell the tale.
however
Plesa was told BY a friend that the
letter had been left al the saloon, and
he dispatched his brother to get it. The
barkecper declined to deliver the let
ter to him. saying that Mike should
cali for It in person. Mike did so and
on being handed the letter started to
leave the place. Tworch called over
to him that he was pretty cheap TO get
letter at a saloon without buying a
drink. Mike refused TO buy the drink
and Nicholas made a grab at him. He
brought Mike 70 his knees and. seizing
cleaver that lay near, tapped him one
on the crown. \ warrant was sworn
out before Judge George IRELAND and
Nick was arrested and yesterday he

Funeral arrangements will be com

at 80 o'clock as the result of a self
inflicted bullet wound. The body of
the early settler is now at Jones

Blockrs home inside the steel plant

his death
In all probabilities the remains will
be taken to Chicago for burial some

PioncA~'- Last Hours.
The last hours of the old trapper
and fisherman were characterized by
steadfast resolution to be independ-
emit He was conscious until a short
time before his death and he complain
ed every time the surgeons tried to
give him assistance.
Blocki. who also Gary's oldest
citizen. shot himself Monday night at
nine o'clock. He laid down on his bed
and placed revolver to his left ear
and fred The bullet plowed through
his skull and finally landed in his jaw.
When assistance came he wanted DR. J.
J. Metcalf to finish the job for him
and was angry because he was not
permitted to die sooner AS soon as
news of the tragedy could be gotten
to Hammond George Blocki. his son
FASTENED to Gary and had quite a talk

story of His Life.
Quite story is attached to Blocki's
/ life He came from Hobart with his
/ family more than a quarter of a CEN
fury ago and settled on the site of
the steel plant. Until 1905 his family
were the only people residing north of
the Pennsylvania tracks
In 1906 the steel corporation came
and Blocki claiming squatters rights
refused to move and the steel corpora
ton evinced no disposition to bother
the old man. He was then SO years old
but still active. Soon he saw his ia
: vorite hunting grounds in the marshes
and dunes give away to the city of
! Gary and ore docks, blast furnaces and
mills clustered about his home. The
hermit continued to occupy the place
and made respondent by the noise AMI

his old hunts the aged trapped ended
his life. He is survived by George of

Within a few days Postmaster John
w. Cali will make application to the
department at Washington for the es-
tablishment of a postal savings bank
in Gary. 1t is highly probable that
postmasters in other portions of Lake
County will follow suit next month.
1t will be four or I'VE months. how
ever. before the banks are in opera
ton. The postmaster general is now
studying the postal bank system in
use in Europe and the American es-
adjustments will be modelled after the
ones in use on the continent
How 1t VIII Work.
When the postal savings banks are
established in the postoffices any one
may open an account by depositing
dollar Then further deposits may be
made. A sum as low as ten cents will
be accepted and all deposits must be
IN multiples of the figure 10. They
may be either ten cents. for, fifty. sixty
cents, etc, one two or any number of
dollars Then ten multiple system is
used in order to faliitate the interest
computations.
The government will pay two per
cent interest There is one fact a
postal bank that makes it different
from others. You deposit any
amount up to $500 but you can't bor-
row anything from Uncle Sam.
Plum For Bankers.
1t is expected that several Lake
county bankers will shortly make ap-
plications that their institutions be
made postal repositories. 1t is not
necessary that a bank be a national
one in order to land the business. One
with a state charter has just as good
a chance
In Lake county more than a million
dollars are kept annually out of the
banks by the foreign steel workers
who viii not trust any bank except
governmental affairs. The local bank
ers welcome the postals institutions as
they win teac hthe foreigners to have
confidence in the other banks Much
extra chip will be needed to mann the
postal savings departments.
