GARY KNOWS THE VALUE OF GOOD ADVERTISING.
THE MAGNIFICENT ADVERTISING THAT has been given Gary since
the first shack was built in that wonderful city has certainly brought its re
sults and they like the proverbial bread cast upon the waters will bear fruit
for a long time to come. It has been a splendid tribute to the efficacy of
modern' advertising methods, this growth of Gary. Of course it would be silly
to sav that there would have been no Gary without the advertising that has
been literally heaped upon it by newspaper and magazine, for the United
States Steel's millions can do nearly anything, but there is little doubt that
Gary would not have been what it is today had it not been for the advertising
that has been lavished upon it. Magazines by the score and newspapers Dy
the thousands have contributed their columns to exploiting Gary. From
every state in the country and nearly every country on the globe have re
sults come during these first few years of the city's young life, and the bene
fits accruing have been amazing. The
dealers there and people flock to the
tributing liberally to the progress and
If a name could be given Gary that would fit it well, it would indubitably be
"Gary the Well Advertised."
THE PASSING OF AN
THE NEWS OF THE DEATH of
neer citizens, has occasioned much regret in this locality, for the decedent
was a man who was respected to a great extent by all those with whom
he came In contact. As an example of
father and a kind hearted friend, few
not a man who wore his heart upon
neath his imperturbable exterior, beat
mond. Perhaps It was his loyalty to
sterling traits in the decedent for if
him he would be hard to find. There he will be missed for his counsel and
advice and brotherly regard. In years gone by Mr. Mallett was the best
known railroad man In the Calumet region and failing health and a lessening
of virility were the only things that kept him from the top of the ladder in
this respect. Those who knew Mr. Mallett, and knew him intimately, will
truly mourn his departure from this earth, and as the funeral cortege passes
to the last resting place many a tear
beneath the waving trees.
THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC WRITERS in this and other English
speaking countries continue to enlarge upon the relationship that China and
Japan will play towards the economic interests of the western world. In
writing on the business morals of Japan, George Trumbull Ladd shrewdly
says:
'If China and Japan were to exchange compliments with the western
world in regard to the conduct of business intercourse, they could tell tales
of exaction, fraud, debased good and 'junk' of varied kinds palmed off upon
the 'heathen' which would quite outmatch the most extravagant stories of the
same kind told by the San Francisco and Seattle dealer, or the Chicago
and New York importer of oriental wares. That the cheating fell somehow
within the lines of a contract shrewdly worded to fit the case, and in a
foreign language naturally fails altogether to appease the anger or to apolo
gize for the wrong. Besides, business dealings, carried on and consummated
usually through foreign agents in the
sure and complete test, or perfect revelation, of the spirit of honesty, truth
fulness and iair-dealing which characterizes a nation at large. Neither is
the jinriksha-man, or the keeper of a bazaar where foreigners buy cheap
truck in Yokohama, more worthy to defame an entire nation than the
'cabby,' or the shopkeeper on the Strand or Fifth avenue, in London or
New York."

Sullen eyed and defiant, she swept
Into the police court Her hair was
awry and her clothes were rumpled
from a night at the police station.
A little brown Bpaniel trotted at the
woman's heels.
Maggie Ryan had slept or tried to
sleep on the hard, bare confines of the
matron's room. Usually dogs real, for
sure dogs are not admitted to the sta

wistful face caused the matron to let
this little dog in.

was kind hearted, and he had looked
often at the little spaniel.
She started toward the door. From
there she would probably "hit the
rails" out of town, out somewhere,
anywhere out of town.
The little dog started too. Briskly
he sprang to her side. Once he jumped
up and licked her hand.
For the first time that day the wo
man's lip quivered. Her eyes softened.
They were almost beautiful eyes
when there were tears in them.
The woman's head drooped for an
instant, and with one hand she furtive

The station door swung behind them,
and they started down the street The
little dog capered and then trotted
proudly along at the woman's side. As
he lifted his brown eyes there was In
them a wonderful, worshipful look of
love and devotion.

begging letters are arriving here daily
for William H. Taft and in every one
of them is a touch of deft flattery.
"Touching letters," they are called.
Dozens ask contributions to church
debts.
Many of these effusions to the re
publican candidate are addressed: "To
the Hon. "William H. Taft, our next
president," and in each is expressed
the personal admiration borne by the
writer for the candidate. There is
one man in Cedarville, O., who says
President Roosevelt is his namesake.
He writes: "Deer Sir: I am gla3
to have another good man for president,
Mr. Taft we will do all that is In our
power to make you the next presadent.
Roosevelt's namesake askes you to
send him something. Now Mr. Taft
don't do me like Mr. Roosevelt did, he
would not ancer my letter."
The Roosevelt policies in this at
least are followed by Taft. He did not
"ancer."

CAT'S RESCUE ABSORBS
AN ENTIRE CITY.
East Chicago'. Thrilling: Cat Story
Ezeiten Population for Three Day.
East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 25. (Special)
For three days the whole city of East
Chicago has been interested in a cat.
A little tiger cat has been the absorb
ing topic of conversation and today the
interest is greater than ever for a
while the cat has been a prisoner be
tween the walls of two houses for three
days it Is now free although it was
necessary to knock a hole in a brick
wall to accomplish the purpose.
Several days ago the plaintive cries
of a cat attracted the ear of passers
by on East Chicago's principal business
street. One person more curious than
the rest decided to Investigate after the
cries had been heard for two whole
days and it was discovered that in some
unaccountable manner a cat had fallen
from the roof of two buildings owned
by the Given estate and occupied by
Mrs. "Williams, who has a boarding
house in the second story of the brick
building, and by Dave Cohen and Albert
Given, who occupy the lower floors of
the two buildings.
The attention of hundreds of p?op'e
was attracted to the poor cat which
was squeezed between the two wells
and 'wirious plans were suggested for
Its rescue.
Every plan proved unavailing and it
began to look as though the poor cat
wouid have to stay pinned tetweon the
two v.-alls until it starved to death.
That was too much for W. R. Diamond,
the owner and he determined upon a
desperate plan to rescue.
He tried to secure permission to cut
through the wooden walls of the build
ing but the owner would not allow it.
So, without asking permission he went
to Mrs. Williams, who occupies the up
per floor of the brick building, and se
cured permission to cut through her
wall.

cat was finally released while the crowd
