We arose early one February morning.

for four hours of trave over the modern
road near he Via Egnat.a, which should
take us tn ancient Philippi. Our vehicle
was a somewhat d%ilapidated hack, such as
Americans are familiar with at almost ev-
cry considerable railway station, but a
surprisingly comfortable conveyance for
this part of the world. Rafting down
some steep. roughly paved streets, we
came to the center of the old Neapolis.
passed near the great Roman aqueduct.
and assembled another steep street on the
other side of the market place.
Early as 1t was we found III the peo-
pie of kavalla were up and doing. The
stalls OF the fruit men were attractive
with oranges. pomegranates. lemons and
dates. The vegetable dealers displayed a
tempting array Of caulifiowers. cabbages.
onions okra. lceks and potatoes. AS in
all eastern cities, there was no privacy.
The cook was preparing his breakfast on
the sidewalk; the shoemaker was plying
hts awl; the tailor his needle; and tho
blacksmith was shoeing his horses almost
in the very street.

There is one spot in Europe where
donkeys as we'll as men wear trousers.
visitors to La Rochelle usually take IA
trip across the lie de Rhe, which is
only about two miles from the main-
land. Nothing imprcsses them more
than the donkeys. These animals,
which do most of the draft work, in
variably have their legs encased i'm
trousers fastened with cords over the
withers and the headquarters. Th
natural impression Is that a arrival
is In progress. But the donkeys are
thus attired whenever they go to work.
The island Is infested with mosquitoes
and also with a special fly obnoxious
to animals.

TWO HAMMOND
MEN STAR

Two Hammondites, Walter Kennedy
and Frank Blocker. were given an op-
portunity to participate in the first big
college games of the 1913 football sea-
son on Saturday and both men played
in creditable style. Although not in
the lineup at the start of the game
Kennedy, who plays with the Chicago
Maroons, was given his chance short
ly after the end of the first half when
Gray, the Maroons left half back, was
hurt. Kennedy Immediately started his
good work by completely fooling the
Indiana men. gaining a speedy nine
yard run. Kennedy also starred in the
defense and nearly prevented Indiana
from scoring their ownly touchdown of
the game. Scott of the Hoosiers pick
ed up a Maroon tumble in a clear field
and ran for a touchdown. He was
tackled on the goal line by Kennedy,
but several other Hoosier players ar
rived at the scene and managed to push
their man over the line for touch
down. The final score of the game was
Chicago. 21; Indiana, Z.
Frank Blocker. playing left tackle
for Purdue had very few opportuni-
ties TO run with the spigskin, but II
was chiefly his defense work that pre-
vented Wabash from scoring single
touchdown. Purdue won, 90 to 0.

WAS nine YEARS
BACK IN TAXES
Public Official in North End
of County Was Sadly
Delinquent.
(Specin' to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind. Oct. 6.-Treasurer
Swanson and his deputies have the tax
books, probably better paid up this
year than any previous year in their
history. The suits instituted against
all persons owing delinquent personal
taxes has been productive in cleaning
up thousands of dollars worth of bad
tax bills owed to the county. Citizens
fro mthe north end of the county seem
ed to be mostly in arrears and one citi-
zen, public official, filing a high sta
tion politically, was guilty of being
nearly nine years in arrears in the pay
ment of his personal taxes. Suits for
payment of these personal taxes will
be instituted against the delinquents
until the treasurer's tax books are
cleaned up.
