Up Hill. Does the road wind up hill all the way? to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. But is there for the night a resting place? A roof for when the close, dark hours begin? May not the darkness hide it from my face? You cannot miss that inn. Shall I meet other wayfarers at night? Those who have gone before. Then must I knock or call when just in sight? They will not keep you standing at that door. Shall I find comfort, travel sore and weak? Of labor you shall find the sum. Will there be beds for me and all who seek? Yes; beds for all who come. Christina Georgina Rossetti.
and said that "no one was to be althe use of it." The temptation grew on her and the girl took a plunge. The bishop returned unexpectdly and, finding
traces of the recent stolen bath, he j questioned the maid so closely that she had to confess that she was the culprit. Eying her sternly, he said: '"Mary, your using my tub is bad enough, but what worries me most is that you would be willing to do anything behind my back that you would not do before my face."-Jud-Magazine of Fun.

SUCCESS.
THE roll of supervisors of the civwar is rapildy shortening, as recommanders and rank and file. There were 45 major generals in the army in 1865. The death of Carl Schurz leaves but four, who were appointed to that rank in 1863, the year when promotion was livliest, and one of the total number in service when the war closed only a handful remain. The grand army is marching steadily to its last bivouac.
What is success? It's getting money. I know some people disagree And hold some notions rather funny, But look around you, boys, and see. The man who cuts the largest capers And tells the chauffeur when to go And gets his name in all the papers Is Johnny Wiseboy with the dough. You hear it said that fame is fleeting. It's worse than that, if you'll observe; It doesn't furnish man with eating Or any such good purpose serve, But when his bank account is bulging He harvests three square meals a day And spends his leisure hours indulging In pleasantries along the way. That money brings you only trouble Is said by those who have enough, And then they break their necks to do ble Their modest holdings of the stuff, But always from their lips keep dropping Their platitudes about the pain And woe that's bound to be outcropping In tons of treasure and its train. Be rich and let who will be clever, For if the coin is in your mitt Those who are close to you will never Take notice if you lack in wit. The work may not be quite exalted, But shed your jacket and saw wood; Then when you have a million salted It's mighty easy to be good.

The era of good roads has at last reached Lake County. The old time Indian trail along which the ox-carts and heavy lumber wagons of the pioneer settlers crawled at an uncerpace has like the Indian be come a matter of history, and the ordinary dirt road through which the farmer was want to drag through mud hub deep in spring, or through clouds of dust in mid-summer are, like the old fashioned rail fence and the log-cabin fast becoming a matter of reminisIn their place is coming the finely macadamed or gravelled throughfare, level and smooth free from mud or dust and open to speedy traffic at all seasons of the year. Lake County is one of the foremost counties in the state in road improOver 200 miles of finely constructed highways now thread the rural district and afford easy means
of communication between every im
portant point. This immense system of improved roads has been construct
ed within the past ten or twelve
years. The father of the gravel road
system in Lake County is a Hammond
man, ex-commissioner J. M. Bradford
It was his mind that first conceived
the idea of better thoroughfares
and to his persistency was due the
construction of a few miles in Ho-
bart township as an experiment.
This small portion, four or five
miles in length proved so great a
boon that a great demand for gravel
roads was created and the contract
ors could not build them fast enough,
Hobart township constructed more
the following year and other town
ships followed her lead until a halt
was called by reason of the fact that
the law fixes a limit of bonded in
debtedness beyond which a town
ship may not go. This limit was soon reached in nearly every township of
the county.
Now, however a portion of this
bonded indebtedness has been paid
off and there is a demand for more
gravel roads.

Misunderstood. One winter while the boys were
hanging around Valley Forge and wish
ing it were summer and that they were in valley forage, but still determined to lick the British out of their boots for
the purpose of getting some covering
for their own bare feet, a strolling
preacher dropped into camp and began to preach a new cult.
"Boys," he said, "you are indeed in
luck. By walking around barefoot in
the snowbanks you will not only live
100 years, but you will also be so
healthy in the meantime that you will
never think of drinking patent mediexcept for pastime."
This line of philosophy did not appeal
to the brave chilblain inflicted Contisoldiers, and they chucked the
man with the new doctrine in the
creek.
This shows what folly it is for a man to be 150 years ahead of his time.
HE American people are at the beginning of a great revolution. As yet there is IN A LITERAL SENSE no call to arms. There are no drum beats, no bugle blasts, no serried ranks, no marching columns, no battlefields strewn
with the wounded and the dead, but THE REVOLUIS UPON US and about us as certainly as though all these were present. Stupendous social, economic and political changes are involved. Deeply imbedded in the very core and center of this revolurunning like a thread of gold through all its shifting scenes and changing forms, are certain FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN RIGHT and of human liberty, and unless we in our day possess a willingness to seek for these and the wisdom to find them and the patriotism and the courage to proclaim them, to stand by them and SAVE THEM WHEN FOUND, the call to arms, the drum beats, the bugle calls, the serried ranks, the marching columns and the battlefields will come to us as certainly as in the past they came to our fathers. The criminal aggressions of incorporated and aggregated wealth against the individual must be stayed by legal regulations and wholelaws COURAGEOUSLY ENFORCED or history will repeat itself, as it has in the past. We will no more be exempt than other generations have been. Progress must and will be made. Human rights, the rights of the individual citizen or the rights of the body of the people are not safe where government is administered BY SPECIAL INTERESTS or through the corrupt or demoralizing influence of organized wealth and greed. No despotism can be more absolute than the DESPOTISM OF MONEY.
Thrift, wealth and aggregated capital are essential to the prosperity of the people and the development of the country. I wage no war, against these or any of these. BUT I DO WAGE WAR AGAINST THE THRIFT THAT GROWS BY THEFT AND PECULATION, AGAINST THE ABUSE OF WEALTH, AGAINST THE CORRUPT PRACTICES OF INCORPORATED CAPITAL
AND THE UNDUE AND UNHOLY INFLUENCES IT EXERCISES IN' THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT. I do not look with pleasure either upon "muck" or the "muck rakers," but either is better than the "muck bed," and as long as the "muck bed" remains I hope the "muck raker" will continue to expose it AND TO LAY IT BARE; that the people may come to hate it, to despise the greed that feeds it and to forsake every man whose hands
are soiled with pollution.
In Fassett A. Cotton Indiana has a state superintendent of public instrucwho has a favorable reputation in educational circles far beyond the conof his own state. His work is patterned after his utterances, and his writings are widely quoted by edand teachers in the East and in the West. Mr. Cotton is nominated by the Republicans for his third term. It was argued and came to be quite generally recognized that a change of administration always involves a change in policy, which hinders peradvancement in any departof school work. Mr. Cotton has

Business is a
means, NOT AN END. If a business man does not
early cultivate a taste for the higher things in life he be
comes so absorbed in the game of business that later on he CANNOT be happy without it. After he has a competence he continin trade, like the squirrel going around the wheel, for lack of something better to do. He cannot enjoy leisure, though he has fairly earned it. Many an old merchant has told me with pride that he "never took a vacation in his life." I could not understand his pride. Vacations are the coupons on the bonds of industry that MATURE SEMICut these coupons regularly, so that they in their turn, may be vitalized and earn interest. may seem to some that vacations are a loss, an extravagance. Quite the contrary; they are ECONOMICALLY A PROFIT. As a man can in the long run do better work in six days than in seven, so he can do better work in six months than in seven. Some merchants have the conceit that they cannot be spared. Let them go away, and their VANITY will receive a SHOCK. They will in most cases discover that the machine will move smoothly without their presence. IF A MAN'S IDEA OF HIS INDISPENSABILITY IS REALLY WELL FOUNDED HIS BUSINESS ORGANIZATION IS A FAILURE.
