and makes liis living- by selling papers, popcorn and crackerjack. For years he has walked up and down the streets of Hammond cheerily Belling his wares and t arningr a livelihood. Although terribly afflicted George Is always ready with a joke and a hearty laugh at the joko of some one else. The presence of George does not inspire pity but rather a feeling of Joy to know that a man can be happy and dispense happiness in such a condition. Besides George earns his living and there are a great many able bodied Intelligent men in this city who could take a few pointers from him along this line.

CHARLES M. SCHWAB wants to sell his $3,000,000 palace on the Riverside drive. New York, as he says that a palace at best is a lonely place for a man and his wife to live. A glance at Mr. Schwab's rapid rise to fame and fortune from a poor boy, is convincing that a man born on a farm cannot adapt himself to a fifty room house.

WHEAT advancing four cents on the bushel today made brokers who had not been scon in the pit for months jump around like mad men. When the public get an idea in their head they always cling to it, and as they thought it about time to hold wheat the bull movement was started.

TIIE storekeeper and the house holder blames the milkman, the milk man blames the contractor, the con

tractor blames the trust, the trust blames the farmer and the farmer

blames the cow. Its now up to faith

ful old Mooly to explain the rise in the

price of milk.

THE romantic proverb, "All the world loves a lover," is getting its first

black eyo in New York where the anti

nuptials of William Ellis Corey and Mabelle Oilman are being arranged. All

the world is condeming the action of

the man.

AFTER Hammond good plan mond to

the housecleaning at West is finished, it would be a

for the authorities of Ham

watch out that the tide of

public disapproval at that place did not

bring its refuse to our shores.

It la easy enough to pet forth gllttorlng arguments as to why Hammond should be charged seven cents a quart tor milk while the inhabitants of the other cities in Lake county pay but five. There never was a wrong which Aid not have arguments in its favor. The milk trust has discovered several reasons why it should pay the farmer less money for the main product of his dairy and charge the consumer the same as he has been paying, when the fanner was realizing more.

but tho fact remains that only one party is benefitting by the readjustment of prices. The beneficiary as in almost all cases, is the power which regulates the price of the commodity. In this Instance that power is repreented by the milk trust. There Is nobody in all probability who works harder for his Income and Is a better citizen than the farmer, yet he invariably is made to bear the brunt of any change in the schedule of provision prices. Tho consumer does the rest. In this case the situation is almost pitiful, meaning as it does so much to tho decentest of all men, and also to what is still de'center and more pitifully helpless, the Innocent babies of tho vicinity. If milk is sold at a reasonable figure it means that tho babies have all of this necessary food that they require and children require milk at a much more advanced age than the term baby would Imply; or if not all they require, they will come nearer attaining the maximum of their requirements in this respect. The price of milk more directly affects the welfare of the babies of a community than that of any other single commodity. A raise in tho price of milk Is a direct blow to the babies, but little cares the milk trust who is hit. It is not in business for its health, and that is all there Is to it. If the milk dealers would do the fair thing there is no doubt that the public would be willing to take chances on the fluctuations of the market as represented by what tho farmer receives, which would mean that he might pay a little more for milk in winter and a great deal less in sumjmer than is the case under present conditions. It is noticeable that while the price never goes down under trust regulation, it frequently goes up, and the consumer would welcome a rule that works both ways.

CHICAGO'S new charter with all its patches and amendments was advanced to a third reading today. We won

THE best investment a man can make Is to buy a piece of land. There is one thing that is sure in the way of Investment, and that is a little plot of old mother earth, which you can point

TIIE reform movement has at last

reached West Hammond, and seems to have swept simultaneously over the better element in the town. May it

have permanency.

WATCH out for the sure 6lgn of

spring, the hobo, and beware how you

extend your charity. There are enough

deserving cases in the world without

encouraging laziness.

EVERY vacant lot and dump in Ham

mond has a baseball game today. The

younger element has the great Nation al game firmly embued within it.

THE rapid changes in the weather conditions during the last few days makes one think that the weather man

is out of sorts.

THE Chicago police evidently wish to make the president's words that Moyer

is an undesirable citizen, ring true.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, May 11. The stock mar

ket had the usual Saturday dullness.

Professionals were only ones inclined

to do any trading. Early prices were practically unchanged from those prevailing at the close last evening.

A little spurt was occassioned in

Union Pacific by the buying in of line

of short stock put out yesterday.

Wall street paid more attention to

the advance in wheat in Chicago than they did to their own market.

Atchison suffered a decline of a

point upon selling by bears who are

becoming pessimistic over crop con

ditions. .

The bank statement which was ex

pected to make a fair showing did not

have any material effect upon prices. It was in a measure disappointing in

asmuch as the deposit item did not

show the large gains expected while the loan item did not decrease quite

as much as the liquidation during the

present week Indicated it would. As

a market factor, however, the bank

statement did not have any effect.

The trade throughout the list was

narrow and dull. Prices did not vary

over one point either way in any of the active issues.

The closing was dull and uninterest

ing with indications for the present

class of markets to continue until the

stock market gains a new leader like

the one that has just severed his con

nections from Wall street.

Uut the worst was yet to come. This

was made plain when it was found that no provision was made in the bond issue for the maturity of the notes

ize an issue of $100,000,000 additional

0UE NEIGHBORS' POOR POSTAL SERVICE. Tho people of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are complaining of their inadequate postal facilities and they have good reason to do so. In the two cities concerned, which are actually but one, there is a population of over 14,000 people and yet all of these patrons of Undo Sam arc compelled to walk to the old rickety postof flees just as they do in any little town down

tho state. Kven without free delivery the people of these two cities are entitled to decent offices in which to call for their mail and they are not getting what they are entitled to. There is not a person who enters the East Chicago or Indiana Harbor postofiice for the first time who is not Just a little ashamed that the uncle who has been so generous to the city of Hammond just a few miles away should have so neglected another thriving community. East Chicago, i. e.. meaning East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, is large enough to demand the free delivery Fervice. but official red tape and the inability of the citizens of cither city to decide where the central office should be located, has prevented the department from giving the city this service. in the meanwhile th people are putting up with posto.'TWs that would be a disgrace to most any city in the Philippines.

ano euy in me country has ever known a year of greater misery than that which has befallen San Francisco. Its latest visitation Is the street car strike. At present San Franciscans are walking or are paying 23 cents fare to be hauled about in nondescript vehicles. The afflictions of the city have for the most part been of national concern. The earthquake, the school question, the revelations of bribery and corruption, the labor difficulties all have aroused the interest of the nation, in some cases affecting very nearly its own welfare. In one of the despatches of yesterday concerning the strike it was said

that, the United Railroads being a New Jersey corporation, an application would be made to the federal courts for an injunction to restrain the car men's union in case there were trouble when an attempt was made to move cars, and it was naively declared that this would involve the federal government and use would be made of federal troops. Of course such a thing would be quite Impossible under any but extraordinary circumstances still

it is not surprising that San Franciscans should begin to think that most anything they do may be made to involve the federal government, so many things that they have done have involved it.

lueir actions do, however, involve

ii;iwoiuw sentiment more so than any other city for the time beinsr. Their

misery is the nation's. The interest of the country could not have been more acute than it was in the segregation of the Japanese children. And it has the most lively anxiety over the outcome of the bribery investigations. The blow dealt at city government in California is a blow dealt at city government everywhere in the country. San Francisco has a billet from the entire country to clean up and repair her civil structure. It is more important that she should do th'.s than that she should replace her material loss. But the koenrst sympathy will be felt for her, for the complexity of the situation

j with which she has to deal is not unl d -restimated. New York Globe.

factor In breaking Union Pacific, lie had been bearish on the stock, and on the announcement of the stock increase he gave orders on a heavy scale through several offices and used every effort to facilitate the decline.

He was able to cover the greater part

of the short stock at the lower prices and he seemed willing on the rally to put out part of the stock again. This

was merely an instance of the character of the selling, which, in analy

sis by experts on the floor, showed

that it emenated from professional and I bearish quarters and contained very little genuine, liquidation. Nowadays

traders are so carerul that there are more stop loss orders than usual in

the market and particularly in a stock

such as Union Pacific. The sharp

break reached many of these and they

in turn expedited the decline.

A Minnesota flouring mill company

ha3 recently had an experience in Hoi

land wtich will not only make it more careful In the future but -will serve as a warning to other concerns to pay strict attention to the protection of its own brands of flour under the peculiar registration laws of Holland. For a number Of years the company alluded to sold one concern in Amsterdam under one of its mill brands, a name made famous both in this country and abroad by years of quality and advertising, and to another concern in Rotterdam, under another mill brand, also well advertised and generally known. Nct long ago It occurred to the mill that it would be a good idea to register its brands in foreign countries, and it proceeded to do so. It then discovered that its Dutch correspondents had both registered its brand in their own names. It requested them to transfer the registration to the mill name. This wes positively refused. Thus the mill is actually deprived of the use of its own brands unless It sells to the two concerns aikd no cr.e else. Under the law? of Holland the? former representatives could prevent the mill shipping Sour to other parties under its own established brand. Other Minnesota mills have had the same unpleasant experience.

The Family Honor.

"Bobby," asked the teacher of the class in arithmetic, addressing the question to one of the younger pupils, "how many pints are there In a gallon?" "I"ve forgot it again, ma'am," said Bobby, who found it hard to commit to memory the tables of weights and measures.

Thinking that perhaps by turning from the abstract to the concrete she

might succeed better in stimulating his power of recollection, the teacher tried another tack. "Bobby," she said, "your father is a milkman, isn't he?" "Yes, ma'am."

"Well, now, think as hard as you can. He sometimes pells a gallon can

full of milk, doesn't he? Just so.

Well, when he doea, how many pints

of milk are there in that gallon can.

"It's all milk, ma'am!" Indignantly

exclaimed Bobby.
