PRETTY WEDDING IN VALPO.
One of the prettiest weddings occur
ring in Valparaiso this season was that
of Mr. Earl Salisbury, and Miss Cora
Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Wilson, which was solemnized at ' 9
o'clock this morning in the home of the
bride's parents, 53 West Monroe street.
The officiating clergyman was Rev. D.
Reilly, of Indianapolis, grandfather' of
the groom.
The wedding and its attendant inci
dents was well planned and everything
moved with that smooth serenity the
friends of the couple trust will mark
their progress through life. There were
no attendants. The couple took their
places under a magnificent floral bell
hung unon an arch of green in the
large window of the north parlor of the
Wilson home, and the words that made
them one were spoken.
Immediately after the ceremony a
wedding breakfast was served. The
decorations and general color scheme;
here was a tasteful combination of
green and white. The couple left for
Indianapolis and later will go to Bass
Lake.
On account of the musical attain
ments of the bride and groom their
wedding attracted more than the usual
amount of attention. The groom Is a
member of the famous Salisbury fam
ily of musicians, while his bride has
long since passed out of the semi-professional
class so far as real musical
capabilities go. Both will travel with
the Salisbury family this winter in
their muscal works.

TAXPAYER FEELS HIS DIGNITY.
Effect of Ownership of Property la to
Make Better Citizen.
"Many a time," said a policeman in
the southern part of the city, "when
arresting men, especially intoxicated
men, I have been told by my prisoner
that he was a taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
"I always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence, and
never paid much attention to it until
about a year ago, when I bought a
house and lot and became myself a
taxpayer. I had always rented be
fore and never gave a thought to
taxes, but as sqon as I moved into my
own house I began to appreciate the
leelings of the men who resented ar
rest because they paid taxes. There
is certainly a considerable addition to
the dignity of the man who helps sup
port the government. He feels a de
gree of responsibility that a renter or
roomer never understands, and my
idea Is that every man In the country
ought to become a taxpayer as soon
as he can, and the mere fact that he
does help to support the government
and bears his share of the expense,
makes him a better citizen. Habitu
al criminals, excepting, of course, high
financiers, are rarely taxpayers. They
know they may have to run any day
and perhaps never come back, so
they do not buy real estate, but are
roomers and lodgers all their lives."

No Mustaches in Alaska.
Mustaches are not worn by men ex
posed to the severity of an Alaskan
winter. They wear full beards to pro
tect the throat and face, but keep the
upper lip clean shaven. The moisture
from the breath congeals so quickly
that a mustache becomes imbedded
in a solid cake of ice, and the face is
frozen in a short time.
Prolific Apple T-ee.
What is reported to be the largest
apple tree in the United States is at
Southington, Conn. It yields 50
bushels.
Content to Do Little.
Let us be content to do little, if
God sets us at little tasks. It is but
pride and self-will which says: "Give
me something huge to fight, and I
should enjoy that; but why make me
sweep the dust?" Charles Kinsley.
The Rounder Says
AVhat's la a earner Well, almost
anything that Frank Malo, the engineer
at the Central Are station, cares to
make of It. What's in a name? There
Is enough in the names of the Chicago
National league players to make them
out champions of the world. It's a
new way of figuring the dope and every
fan in Hammond whose heart is with
the Cubs ought to grab onto the dope
before the author has It copyrighted.
By the same token that he figures the
Cubs to be the world's champions, he
figures out that there is no chance for
the Sox as champions. He can't find an
X in their name, and that settles it for
them along the newest line of dope.
Malo worked out the combination this
morning as the result of an argument
down at the fire station.
This is the result after an hour's
work:

Have yon ever noticed that an um
brella man never is seen on the street
except when it is raining or about to
rain. Like a tree toad you never hear
his croak until there Is a sign that the
skies are in trouble.
The great question which has been In
the minds of the people of Hammond
for the past two months has not been
one as to whether Taft or Bryan will
be elected, but "Where has the um
brella man been?"
Yesterday when it sprinkling a lean
gaunt Individual in rags came from
somewhere and began yelling "umbrel
las to mend." He walked up and down
the street for a time and then disap
peared. No one seemed to know where
he had gone. Twenty minutes later
the sun came out from behind the
clouds and the rain was over. What
became of the umbrella man?
The Joke Is on Nick Schneider. The
hand organ man hit town at the same
time the umbrella man came around.
He started to playing In front of Adam
Stamm's barber shop and pool room.
Some one paid him 10 cents to compete
with the phonograph In Riley's five
cent theater. The phonograph won in
a walk and Riley sent the organist over
to Lockie Simpson's barber shop with
a commision to play 10 cents' worth.
The shop was cleaned out long be
fore "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,"
was half ground out. Then some one
got a bright idea and paid the "maka
ce music" man a half dollar to play an
hour In front of Nick Schneider's sa
loon. Schneider thought some one had
started a riot in a German band and
came out to see what was the matter.
He couldn't kick the poor old man off
the sidewalk and he had to stand for it
so he made the best of a bad job and
brought a chair out for the old man so
that he could be more comfortable.
Between three and four o'clock was
the longest hour that States street has
ever known. Finally the old man got
tired and went over to the Chinaman's
and bought a steak smothered in mush
rooms, a piece of watermelon and then
bought a beer at the nearest saloon to
wash it down. And he didn't buy the
beer at Nick Schneider's either.

Uaele Henry Hlrknell is championing
another cause. He has lined up with
the state board of health In its efforts
to purify the drinking water of Ham
mond. The Hammond druggist bit off and
swallowed a big chunk of pessimism
this morning when he thought of the
hundreds of people Who wash their feet
in his drinking water at the lake front
every night.
"And Just think," said Uncle Henry,
"thos bathers go out in the water for
five or six hundred feet and the intake
through which the city of Hammond
gets its water supply is only 1,400 to
1,500 feet out in the lake."
"It Is Just as bad as drinking water
out of a big bath tub after a man
has finished," said Bicknell in disgust.
"You can take your pick."
"They make us druggists put up a
sign stating that we are putting 1.100
of 1 per cent of benzoate of soda in
our fruit preserves when every doctor
knows that a person can take several
grains of that stuff without injury and
yet they let 500 people polute our H20."
