Jumping Jupiter, Some heir, Ell?
IF they were all lady delegates at
the republican national convention T.
r. would have had it. He's such a nice
man. you know.
READ that the Carr land suit has
been venued to Elkhart county. This
suit is some traveller. 1t started in
Lake county and then went to Porter
county; from there 1t went TO La Porte
county and now it keeps going right
across the state. Fort Wayne papers
might be on the lookout.
EASTERN newspapers refers TO a
prince visiting at Newport as being
the third most important man in Egypt.
This is about as an important job as
! being second man in Gary.
| HAVE received a tract from Pastor
| Russell stating that hell isn't a lake
of fire and birthstone as is popularity
supposed. Well if it is even as tenn
pestuous as old Lake Michigan is at
times. we don't want to have nothing
| to do with it.

| live wires OF the Nellie Scotch Tobac-
| co company. Detroit. who has charge of

HOW would you like to be a hard
working grocery man. butcher, or
cheese dealer. and after having worked
your head off for the Great Rough

lpeaches few
A. F. KNOTS: The subject of this
sketch is sometimes referred to as Ar

religiously inclined who follow the
chief shepherd in the holy ways of Ar
mageddon prefer to call him Armanis.
1t is an apostolic sound. However
those who are in on the Mineral
Springs race track deal. look down
upon the Armageddon followers in the
same way a 5 gold brick dealer does
on a La Porte county farmer, affec-
tionately call him Brother A. F. Ar
manis is a versatile cuss. He is king
of Gary, ruling through a victory who
is better known to fame as Brother
Tom. Brother A. F. is also a lawyer
and formerly derived most OF his fees
defending Brother Tom in the courts
: and getting a practice around Ham
mond. However of late Tom has go
!, wise. to himself and hasn't been copied
| by the sheriff for several months
Since then Brother A. +. has beer
forced to make his living promoting
, racetracks and the Armageddon move
ment in this county.
UNDERSTAND that Crown Point has

result of seeing some of the Gary Pom
! peian- massaged fashionables, WHIT
travel down to the county seat on thu

JUST now Chief Bull Moose A. F
KNOTS of the local herd is said t
have but two notices: Il stand at Ar
mageddon and battle for the Lord"
and-"Hustle along that race track
A +. has his time so well divided tina
it's a wonder that the Lord doesn't ge
jealous.
