An unlimited guest at dinner party
Sunday at the Morrison farm in Otis,
formerly the Charles Otis place. was a COW
moose. The party were just sitting down
at dinner, when large cow moose was
seen looking in at the window. The
moose was within twenty feet of the
house. She was in no wise alarmed, and
stood looking in the window until
one of the guests went out to invite her in,
when she trotted slowly off across the
field.

Some Enalish Names.

1t Is difficult matter sometimes to
spell an English name from hearing
1t pronounced For instance. Farqu-
harson is pronounced Fahrson. This,
however, is simple as A B C" com
pared with the weird renderings Of
some other names. Who. for instance,
would dream Of pronouncing Wool

RensIey or wyrardisbury Raysburyl-

FOURTH FOR CITY
BADLY WANTED AGAIN

Independence day is coming, days of
powder poisoning and lockjaw. day of
hospitals and ambulances. day of mutt
lation, fire and death, caused by the
deadly use of fireworks. toy pistols,
canes. firearms and other explosives.
This year, 1912. how many are to be
slaughtered?
At present it is a case of sanity VS..
gunpowder and by the nation wide
campaign. the use of gunpowder is be-
ing exiled, lessening the loss of life
and property. If there is anything
that Is sane in the American people. it
is the growing revolt against the crazy
manner of celebrating the Fourth of
July. 1t might be called 'Incendiaries'
day" for on that day the fire flend
runs riot. endangering property and
claiming the lives of our citizens.
Therefore. 1T is the duty of every
city to arrange for its people, suitable
amusements or exercises. otherwise
than deadly fireworks, to educate them
in the observance of this historic holt
day. To what city or town, what
mother or father Is it to bring suffering
or sorrow the day after.
With the nation wide campai gn
Hammond and other cities Of Lake
county are falling in line, to enjoy a
sane Fourth of July and exterminate

the deadly use of gunpowder Last
year 1911, Hammonds campaign for
a sane Fourth showed remarkable
gain in the way of deaths and in
juries caused by fireworks, not sin
gle injury being reported. This year
Chief Austgen hopes that the record
will hold and will do all in his power
to avoid any fatalities.
Orders were issued from the police
station last week to the effect that
Hammond will have another sane
Fourth. Merchants have been warned
that arrests will be made IL the sale of
gunpowder and fireworks of any de-
scription is permitted. Parents are also
requested to watch their children and
join hand in hand for a sane Fourth.
Statistics shows that during the past
nine years 3s.12s people rave been in
jured and killed observing the Fourth
of July. In 1910 it claimed 131 deaths
and 1872 injured. The crusade for a
sane Fourth in 1911 only claimed 81
deaths and 1908 injured. THE TINES
statistics during the past four years
show the result of a sane Fourth in the
cities of Lake county.
