SPORTING BRIEFS.
tBY sPJI<E.)

The Hammond pin men have not
picked their squad for the A. 3. c.
tournament to be held in Chicago next
month as some difficulty has been
found in finding out way to pick the
best howlers and to satisfy the rest of
the men.
Some suggested that the pin men
having the best averages during the
season in the Hammond tournament
should be sent, while some objected to
this because their averages were low
in the fore part of the season and are
now doing some good pin work. 1t is
thought that the latter plan will be ac-
cepted. which will include the average
of the last twenty or twenty five
games.
Farrell and Snyder have sent in their
entries for the doubles and their friends
are banking on their capturing some of
! the prize money.
Unable to schedule a basketball game
for this week. the Hammond high
school and the Dave Lederers are ar
ranging for game to be played at
Huehn's hall Thursday evening. The
Lederers have had considerable trouble
in arranging for a place TO practice
and the two teams think this will be a
good workout for them The Lederers
have been handicapped this season for
this reason alone and they have been
unable to have a workout until they get
on floor before their games.

Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration All important

An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring much bigger results than two-iuch adj
vertsement in four newspapers.
Don't skip around from one newspaper to an
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of
readers you want for customers, and then stick. If
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is talk to the reader of the newspaper you
talk across the counter the counter to customer
Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true The people viii listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tinuousy in a reputable newspaper stimulates pub
lie confidence. Your shop advances step by step In
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur~
chase.
Originality may be good, but an advertisement
that sells goods even if copied, is better.

DR.. PonZo. ar Italian PSYCHOLOGIST
writes in a scientific review published
in Turin tina, IN watching a film rep
fesenting a religious ceremony in bur-
ma he distinctly heard the sound Of
bells. When the illusion passed off he
noticed that there were nothing hu;
stringed instruments in the orchestra,
and 1t was evident that he had been the
victim of auto suggestion.
on another occasion NJ. Ponzo was
looking at a photograph OF a cascade,
and thought he heard the roar and the
wash of it, but suDsequo ntly per-

Of the sea, he has felt sensation
of dampness and the freshness OF the

tilator that caused the dclusion.
A yet stranger instance Of auto sug-
gestion followed. on the film was
shown a farm yard with men unload
ing hay cart NJ. Ponzo asserts that
he smelt fresh hay. and his assistant
sitting by his side had the same sem
sation. AS they looked about for an
explanation they noticed that one OF
their neighbors had scented himself
with some strong perfume. They had
not noticed it before and now that IL
greeted their senses they both remark
ed that 1t bore no relation whatever to

BRAVE FOOL INDIANS"
Story Of the Return OF the shetek Cap.
tives in 1852

The story of the Fool Indian band
IS unique and has no parallel in th'
history of this country.
Nearly half century ago n drama
was enacted on the spot where this
| city now stands. Ii was in the year
Of the terrible New Tim and Mlnka
e" massacres in Minnesota I'm 1862
when all the men Il, for service were
engaged IN the battles of the Civil
war and only defenseless women and
children and men who were unit Ia
so To- the front were left To take care
of the homes Of the settlers.
In this anprepared state these were
an easy prey 10 the then murderous
Indians, and hundreds were slain be-
fore force strong enough could be
raised To drive the redskins across the
Missouri. When they retreated they
took with them q party of white wo-
men and children. and by forced
marches reached this spot.
One cannot appreciate the feelings of
these hapless captIyes as they were
hurried across the plains to what was
worse than slavery But something
touched the hearts OF their younger
oaptors. who, under the leadership OF
Chief No Heart. decided to get the
captives TO their homes and To their
relatives ana friends.
During tho tortures they knew would
be theirs If their undertaking should
fail they called their native strategy
into play, and eludlng the main camp
after many harGships and weary days
succeeded in returning the captiyes TO
their relatives and friends. who had
long since given them up for dead.
After forty years congress recognized
the bravery of the band 10y giving each
Of the survivors a small medal, and
later, after al hat two had gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the state of
south Dakota erected a shaft of red
granite with the inscription: "Shetek
Captives Rescued Here November 1862.
by the Fool Indian land" The shaft
vas erected ON June Is, 1909, and is
the only historical monument erected
by the state of South Dakota. Mo-
