" "When measured by, the usual stands . there Is apparently a great phasm between the highest and lowest types of mankind, the greatest and least important of humans, the civilized man and the beast man. There are circumstances, however, which prove tat boasted civilization Is superficial, that refinement is but a coat and that at best the progress that has already been mad! is but a Step as compared to that of which the human race 13 capable. - Occasionally there is an appeal made to humanity, which because of our inability to resist it, whether we represent the highest or the lowest type of

humanity, is the touch of nature which makes all mankind kin, proving conclusively that the animal in us predominates. An example of this which should make the whole race blush for shame, is the morbid curiosity which has been aroused by the scenes and story of the Gunness murders. . Not only the hoi pollol, not only lower classes which are viewed with contempt by those in higher station, not only the ignorant and the crude were represented in that orgie of horror seeing at LaPorte. There were well dressed men and women from the large cities who went in the automobiles to the scene of those murders and then fought with the man from the street for the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the dismembered .and foul smelling bodies of Mrs. Gunness' victims. The man who may have been a central figure In some Chicago drawing room, pushed and tugged 'with' the man whom he would never have recognized as a social equal and all for the ignoble purpose of satiating a morbid curiosity. The whole scramble of those 15,000 Americans to the one spot which one would think would be carefully avoided, is a galling lncontrovertable admission that the race is still but a little removed from a stage of actual savagery. We may be able to build East River bridges, Singer buildings, elevated railways and we may even be about to learn to fly, but the fact that "Bosco, the Snake Eater," is still a paying proposition in our best amusement parks, is proof of the fact that this progress i3 questionable after all.

earttoMeari Talks. ' By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. LIFE IS A SCHOOL. Under what similitude will you liken human life? A pleasure garden? Or a prison house? ' Some say this life Is a penitentiary where we are punished. "Life is"thickly strewn with thorns," said one pessimist, "aDd I know no way save to pass quickly through them." These persons are stoics. Others view life as a garden of gayety. They are epicureans. "Eat, drink and be merry" Is the gonfalon of these. A short life and a merry one, say these sybarites. 1 The stoic is wrong. Life Is not thickly strewn with thorns. It is strewn with roses. The thorns are Incidental. The epicurean Is also wrong. lie that seeks pleasure for pleasure's sake will find only satiety. What, then, is it? HUMAN LIFE IS A SCHOOL. It begins in the mother's arms and ends only on the great graduation day. It has Its recesses, intermissions and vacations, but the school goes on. Its teachers are named EXPERIENCE. Sometimes the lessons are hard and the tears fall on the page of the text book. Sometimes they are pleasant as well as profitable. But these lessons MUST BE LEARNED. Each must learn them for himself. A man can bequeath money or advice to his boy, but he cannot bequeath his experience. The boy must go to school as did the father before him and as all the fathers before him did. The student in life's school never gets too old to learn. When he quits learning he begins to die. How puerile to say one's education is "finished" at college! The school of life has its shirkers. If one becomes a TRUANT he must expect a sharp reprimand. If he de liberately disobeys the rules of the school he may expect punishment, else the school would be anarchy. Con trary wise, the scholar who applies himself will be rewarded. Then hurrah for OUR SCHOOL! When recess comes let us laugh and play, and, as Roosevelt says, "play hard." When it Is time for study let us get down to our lessons. And on the great commencement day. when the GREAT TEACIIHR shall hand to all of us ou diplomas. may there be written on them, "Well done." devour from my stiffening bones every vestige of quivering flesh."

Of the gain, Gary has furnished 1,218, or else the gain should have been only a few hundred. In the country districts there was a loss of 212 children of school age, this including the town of Hobart. But for the enormous gain made by Garjr the towns too would have shown a loss of thirty-eight pupils. The three cities, Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago, produced a gain, which helped to swell the county gain materially. Throughout the county, town and city districts there Is a majority of' boys over girls, the majority being 259 boys. In both the towns of Lowell and. Crown Point, however, the girls are materially in the majority. Only nineteen colored children were found in the county. The enumeration in detail is as follows: ENUMERATION , LAKE COUNTY, 190S.

Frank Falto arrived at his home in 68 Crevalet street, In the Lincoln Park addition to Gary, Just In time to see James King, a boarder, attack his little 12-year-old daughter, Susie, clasping his hands over her mouth to pre-, vent an outcry and end the struggle which the child made to avoid an assault. He rushed upon King and threw hlpi forcibly from the room. After he found that his daughter had not been seriously injured he notified the police who later captured King and took him to jail. At the time the assault occurred the father and the mother of the girl were bcth out of the house. The father was out looking for work and the mother was in the woods In search of some fuel. When King entered the room he made advances to the child which were repulsed and it was then that he attacked her. She did not have an opportunity to raise an alarm for he anticipated that she would scream and Immediately clasped his hand over her mouth.
