Gary Connecting railway. They are
said to control the Gary and Interur-
ban, they do control the Valparaiso and
Northern. the line radiatng out OF
Laporte connecting Goodrum and Ches-
terton, and If not the dominating fac
tors in the destines of the Gary, Ho-

been making overtures for the acquisi-
ton of the Gary and Southern railway.
Who Is Back of Moves
Frequently the rumor arises that the
Calumet United interests are to take
over the Gary and Interurban railway
but this is denied by both sides.
Whether the supposed holding COM
| pany is to take over the c. U. Ry. and
Air Line interests remains to be seen
and what is more undetermined yet
is which is TO control and whether OUT
lside capital is to absorb both interests.

(New York Evening Post.)

NNSW IOTk Evening rush,
The gastronomic orgies of an AI1eri-
can Thanksgiving or Christmas are
nothing less than shocking to an orien-
tai. To a non-Christian, and especially
to Hindu, says st. NiEaI Singh, in
the Hindustan Review, this eating per-
Torrance on such a sacred day i'm
presses itself as being vertically sacri-
legious- It seems strange to him that
30 many poor fowls-turkeys, chickens,
geese and ducks-should be butchered
in celebration Of such an event as
commemorated on the 25th of Decem-
Der. Talk Of the religions Of the
ORIENT" he exclaims. What is In
them to match this enormous sect Of
$1,000 900 Americans, who, on the sac
rificial days, all sit down at midday to
eat turkey and cranberry saucer" The
same incongruity appears in church
suppers. The women members of the
congregation, the writer explains to his
fellow countrymen, cook victuals at
great expense, and carry them from
their homes to the church. There

and sons and brothers, and as many
other members of the male sex as can
be persuaded to attend, pay the church
a rupee or more for the privilege of
eating things that primarily did not be-
long TO the church, but were their very
own" The "get fed quick" lunch coun-
ter has its comical side, which some
what mollifies the oriental repugnance
to its haste and harm. You ask for
soup, and the waiter bawls out, zone
up" You order up cup of tea, and
you hear your order transmitted in
the words, "One on the Chinaman" A
request for two eggs, fried and turned,
teaches the cook in the laconic Eyes
shut, two" Irish stew is ship
wreck" and hash is mystery" The
climax of this feature of American life
Is reached in the New Year eve per
formances. At one of these, "in the
second largest city on the American
continent" three gentlemen. among
them consumed IA quart bottles of
champagne. Probably most Americans
would have been as astonished at this
feat as was the Hindu witness.

The January American Magazine
In the January American magazine
there Is a stirring article on World
Scouts that is really important news
to American readers. Il is an &C
count of the world scout movement
which Is an outgrowth Of the boy scout
movement. Its object is to enroll boys
OF all nations In one organization
which shall strive for ending war.
The plan is to instill in the youth Of all
nations the peace instinct, as distin-
guished from the military Instinct. II
Is an effort to develop In the human
race the idea that all peoples in all
lands belong to one family-the hu-
man family-and that war is an abb
horrent and utterly barbarous institu-
ton. The movement is meeting with
great success, having spread through
i've European countries. The article
closes with an appeal to Colonel
Roosevelt to become the leader Of the
boys of America in this movement.

ceptions and demonstrations Of the

them judicial sanction. the right to

prudent, is a source OF popular salts

the opportunity to give the new form

adopt the commission style. It is en-.

And that is what the people seek.
