GLEANINGS.

n TOT for love did Lieut.. Bobby Noble
I'M marry Carmen. Her father, the
Filipino mayor, had Offered a
dowry of $50, 900 to the American who
would be her husband. Bobby's brother
was $4,000 behind in his accounts and
there was no other way 10 raise the
money; so Bob, who was always pulling
the boy out OF scrapes, married her. Ex-
cept for his closest friends, he was eff
fectually snubbed at the post Carmen
behaved like a brick and, though he felt
no love, there was less difficulty in liv-
ing up to his part OF the bargain.
Then came the fever. 1t sent him
back from an expedition against the in
surrectos on a stretcher. Though he
did not know, II was Carmen who took
masterful possession of the sick room,
and the old surgeon beamed with Joy at
such an efficient nurse.
For days Bobby fingered near the
Great Divide. Gradually his Unborn
sturdy strength manifested itself; the
fever began TO give way before the
skilful nursing of the little woman who
rarely snatched over four hours of sleep
day.
And then came the crisis.
Carmen" the old surgeon told her
one night, laying his hand affectionately
upon the plucky little woman's shoulder,
tonight we fight. the big fight with La
Calantura. | love that boy and so do
you; we are both Catholics. Let US
both pray and give him another dose of
quinine."
And together they kneeled while the
girl held her ebony cross above the sick
man. When he arose he kissed her
gently upon the forehead and left her
with the fight.
Just as the first rays of dawn were
stealing through the bamboo shutters,
the sick mans breathing became easier
More and more regularly he breathed;
he sighed softly once or twice, moved
his lips, and opened his eyes with the
wondering look OF child just awaken
ing.
And then he saw the girl.
AS he looked at her, all other things
in the room seemed to sift into nothing
ness. He raised his weak arms TO her
and smiled. He knew now why his
dreams had been of soft-handed angel
vino fought the Grim Reaper.
"Carmencita mia," he said, and the
girl fell forward on his cot with glad
little cry, snuggingly close to the Bobby
who was now indeed her own.
The old surgeon stole softly from the
room and sought out the colonel. Big
happy tears were in his eyes; his boy
was safe.
Colonel, dammitall, some of my
opinions of these natives have been
changed"
"Mine, too," growled the colonel

up to the senator. cole Jim Rooms is

JURY SENDS
IN VERDICT

The jury in the case of oscar. Hol-
strom, administrator, VS.. the Standard
Forgings Co. returned a verdict of $4.-
600 in favor of the plaintiff. In view of
the fact that the law places a limit of
$4,000 damages for a death, this ver-
dict is regarded good one.
The case has been on trial before
Judge Virgil S. Reiter of Lake superior
court No. and a jury. The jury was
only out a hsort time before arriving
at verdict.
The plaintiff vas represented by ID.

SAFE AND

IN HAMMOND

Hammond is to have a safe and a
sane Fourth for the first time in its
history and sets the pace for the other
Calumet region cities in respect to a
proper celebration of the nations holi-
day-Independence Day
At a meeting Of the police commits
sioners last night an order was issued
to the effect. that no fire works or fire
arms would be allowed to either be
sold or fired off on the 4th of July in
Hammond. Notices to the effect Will
be issued and will be strictly enforced.
Last year In Hammond a notice not as
severe in it's structures was put into
effect and the number of fatilities were
decreased.
This year the city authorities will
use vfgilant care to see that the law
is strictly enforced and it is anticipat-
ed as a result that the number of in
juries will be fewer than ever
Agitation for a safe and sane Fourth
of July celebration has also been start
ed in East Chicago.

PETITION
IS OUT FOR
ELECTION

After innumerable mistakes which
have resulted in great confusion and a
lot of expense, the Village of West
Hammond is again to undertake the
matter of making the village city.
A petition is now being prepared
which Will be signed by the required
number of people and will result in
the calling of another special election
for the purpose of determining
whether or not the village shall be-
come a city.
1t is understood that practically
everybody in West Hammond is now
in favor of the city form of govern
ment and believes ii to be the best way
of transacting the large amount of
business that now devolves the
village officials.
1t is generally believed that the city
officials will be stronger and more
capable men for the reason that 1t will
he more of an honor to hold office in
the city than it was in the village.
1t is now conceded that the recent
efforts to change the form of the gov
ernment of the village have failed and
that the work will have to be done
over again.
Part of this is due to the fact that
the village officials have had bad legal
advice and too little care was taken
in prepa ring for the election and part
of 1t was due to the fact that there
was not the necessary majority in
favor of the city form of government
at the last election. While there was
a majority in favor of the proposition
It's self there was not a majority OF
the votes cast, as is required by law.

WHITING WILL THEN
HAVE A FINE PARK
Sister City Hopes For Great
Things AS Result of Suit
at Crown Point.
PARK EXTENDS TO HAMMOND

City Attorney ]. z. Westphal of
Whiting, speaking of the suit which
Is now pending at Crown Point by
which the city of Whiting seeks TO en-
force the condemnation of a large
amount of Lake Michigan frontage
owned by the Lake Shore railroad, re-
vealed an important move that is about
to be made by the city of Whiting
which will result in the laying out of a
lake front park that will only be equal
ed in extent only by Jackson and Lin
coin parks, Chicago
According to Westphal the right of
the city to condemn this property for
park purposes has been determined and
the question of the amount the city
shall pay per acre is the only one at
issue
After this is determined in the suit
which is now pending at Crown Point
the city of Whiting will at once begin
an action to condemn all of the lake
frontage in Whiting over to the Ham
mond-Whiting corporation boundary.
To Condemn Property.
The new lake frontage which it is
proposed to condemn belongs to the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad and is now
used for yard purposes. The idea is
that the city of Hammond will then
take steps to condemn the rest of the
frontage between the Whiting and
Hammond lake front parks and that
will give the two cities a continuous
parkway from Hammond to Whiting, a
distance of over mile and a half.
1t will then be possible for the two
cities to lay out boulevards leading to
their respective lake front parks and
have a lake shore drive that will be one
of the show drives of the entire region.
This plan was suggested in THE
TIMES a year or so ago, and that the
city of Whiting intends to carry it
out will be glad news to the thousands
of people in both Hammond and Whit
ing, who have come to look upon the
lake front park ideal recreation
place.
