' THE HOME THE BOYS DO NOT LEAVE. "TROUBLE WITH MY CHILDREN, was you never could get them to go away from home seemed like you couldn't drive 'm away with a club."
What wonder, after you had seen the home? Plain it was, two-story, narrow hall, old-fashioned, and all that, but full to the brim with good times. And that's what children like. It is what you and I liked too, isn't it? We ought to feel for the children, and, remembering, that they, when they
are full grown, may not get any more of happiness than we are getting
now, see to it that they get their share right now.
There was grass in the yard of the home, and a big old apple tree to climb
in. The boys built a house up in it and half the neighborhood had a hand in it. "I can't have all the boys in this neighborhood in this yard, that's all there is to it," said one mother. She didn't either. Her boy was alone when
he stayed at home, or had only the company of one other boy from next door,
prim, precise, "well-behaved," when he was where his elders could see him.
The mother was, well you know the kind, she wanted her clothes to be the best in town, she wanted her house to be immaculate, she wanted her boy to be a paragon. And he was (around home). But he got away and when he did go it was with considerable freedom, since it saved his mother work to have him do his playing elsewhere then he let loose. When he grew up, alas, he "went to the bad." You know the kind of boy. At the home first mentioned the children knew that anything around the house was there to use for fun, if they wanted it. While it was theirs to have fun with, they had to take care of it too. They were taught to respect property rights. They played, both boys and girls, but always around their home. They were not allowed to think of danger. They learned caution from getting bumps, picking themselves up and going at it again. The boys were taught to be manly, to respect old age, to be gentle to girls, to be obedient. Of course there was a lot of noise in the home, But "You couldn't drive my boys away from home with a club," says the old father. It pays to make the children love their home. When they love their home, they love you, you who were responsible for them! . STREET RAILWAY COMPANY DOES GOOD WORK.
A MARY BROWN MONOLOGUE. "Who is that old maid yonder?" Ill tell you who she is. - Her name is Mary Brown, daughter of John Brown. Yon remember John? He was a good hearted kind of ne'er-
do-well. Mary looks a little old yes, even when she is "fixed up." But she has a good face, don't you think? And she is Just as good as she looks. She Is a woman "with a past," but the past of Mary has nothing dishonorable In it. ' She is the oldest daughter and takes after her. mother, who was a mighty nice woman who never had a chance.
If you remember, they lived upstairs
over a store building on Main street.
John Brown worked, when he "felt
well," at painting and wall papering. He complained that he had contracted
"painter's colic" and had never got
over it. Well. John never was verv
strong, and that's true. And one day when he was a substitute over at the stave factory a big knife machine cut off his right hand. After that he
couldn't do much except at off jobs.
Mrs. Brown? A smart little woman and ambitious. She always kept the kids looking neat and clean three of them besides Mary two boys and a girl. The woman just literally worked herself to death over the washtub. Mary did the housework and helped. When her mother died Mary was sixteen years of age. That was fourteen years ago. Yes, Mary la just thirty years of age. Well, in all that fourteen years Mary Brown has scarcely had time to raise her eyes from her sewing at the cloak
factory. She got a dollar a day for
seA-eral years. She is a forewoman now and gets $9 a week. And, would you believe It, Mary
Brown has kept those boys and the
girl just as well dressed as the aver
age? She kept her sister in school through the grades. One brother,
John junior, graduated last year in the
high school, ne helped Mary a good deal by selling newspapers. The other
boy took a course in business college,
and Mary can now take a long breath
j. no oiu man; un, ne earned a
dollar occasionally. And he was Dret
ty handy round the house. Died a year ago. He had a very decent burial Mary's money. That's who Mary Brown is.
And I'm telling you no secret when
I say one of the best men In this town is going to marry Mary in the falL He
knows what Mary is, and be thinks a
lot of her.
Say, there's many an old maid In
this world just like Mary. I don't
know how things would get along without some of them. But all of
them are not as lucky as Mary.

Noted Democrat Passes Away.
THE HAMMOND, WHITING & EAST CHICAGO Electric Railway company has done one good thing for the City of Hammond. It has taught the people here, and especially the South Shore Gas and Electric company, that a brick pavement may be torn up and replaced in practically as good condition as it was before the streets were torn up. It has taught the city administration that the right kind of a company is willing to do without coercion -what another company should have been coerced into doing. The business men of the city will sweat and swear over a street assessment. They will spend weeks and months deciding what pavement they want and then without the blinking of any eyelash will see that pavement torn up and replaced by cheap and unskilled labor. When the property owners go to the members of the board of public works and complain they are informed that it is impossible to make the pavement any better and in spite of the memory of their heavy assessments they go their way and swallow the whole excuse without a murmur. But then it required the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line to demonstrate that a brick pavement can be relaid as good as new. It required this maligned company to demonstrate to the board of public works that it is no longer necessary to take excuses for poor work. Let the Hohman street property owner go out and inspect the pavement between and on each side of the car tracks. Then let him inspect the pavement for eighteen inches from the curb where it has never been touched- After that let him look at the pavement between the tracks and the curb on the east side of ' the street and the whole shiftless, "to h 1-with-the-public" job can be seen. A company that was willing to do a job like that and a board of public works that was willing to see it done, was all that was required to ruin the best street that was ever laid in Hammond.

Sir Denzil Ibbetson, who has been regarded for many years as one of the ablest members of the Indian civil service and who only recently resigned the lieutenant governorship of the Punjab, was born in Gainsborough, England, August 30, 1847. He received his education in schools in Australia and at St. John's college, Cambridge. In 1S70 he entered the Indian civil service and received rapid advancement.

authority on agriculture and irrigation. He had charge for several years of the department of revenue and agri
culture In the viceroy's council, and
his was the stroke which sent Lajpat
and Rajit Singh into exile at the time of the Punjab disturbances a year or two ago, and which was the beginning

caused the British officials great un easiness.

This Week's News Forecast
Washington, D. C, Aug. 29. Several events during the coming week will
serve to quicken political activity throughout the country. William J. Bryan is slated for several speeches in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Judge Taft will stay at Middle Bass island until the end of the week, when he will go to Cincinnati to remain until election day. Thomas F. Hisgen, presidential candidate of the Indepdence party, will spend the early part of the week
in Indiana and Ohio and will then start on a sneaking tour of the north
western states. Eugene V. Debs, candidate of the socialist party, plans to
leave Chicago Monday on a tour that will take him to the Pacific coast.
The big event of the week will be the formal opening of the Ohio re
publican campaign at Youngstown Saturday, at which Governor Hughes of New York will be the chief speaker. The meeting will practically mark the opening of the republican campaign for the whole country, and the speech which Governor Hughes will deliver has been prepared with that
fact in view. General state primaries will be held in Michigan and Wisconsin. In
Michigan the Interest centers principally In the contest for the republican gubernatorial nomination, in which Governor Warner is fighting for a third
term and is opposed by two able opponents. In Wisconsin the interest re
volves around the fight for the United States senatorship. Four candidates are engaged in a bitter fight for the republican nomination. They are Sena
tor Isaac Stephenson, who is a candidate to succeed himself; former State
Senator William P. Hatton, Francis E. McGovern, district attorney of Mil
waukee county, and former Congressman S. A. Cook of Neenah. The fight of Representative John J. Jenkins, chairman of the house judiciary committee, to retain his seat in congress is also attracting attention. The state election in Vermont takes place Tuesday, but in the opinion of the best political leaders of boh parties the result will afford no reliable forecast of the national election to come In November. The Atlantic battleship fleet will spend the week at Melbourne, where preparations have been made on the same elaborate scale as at Auckland
and Sydney for the entertainment of the officers and men.
The veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and members of the various auxiliary organiations will meet in annual reunion In Toledo and at the same time the United Spanish War eVterans will hold their annual encampment In Boston.
In the three succeeding presidential! campaigns the state was carried by the republicans.
Believing Illinois to be a doubtful state, the democratic campaign .committee will put some of its foremost speakers on the stump there. Among those to be heard are Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Governor Folk of Missouri and Senator Culberson of Texas.
LABOR NEWS
A league of carpenters known as the Gran Liga de Carpentros has been organized In the City of Mexico for purposes of mutual protection. The bylaws of the association provide that all members work to obtain full re muneratlon for their services and to prevent the members from being unfairly treated. The association aims at temperance and morality among the
workmen and will start a campaign for shorter hours of work. An important feature Is that strong opposition is to be made to any difference in salary between foreign and native workmen. Aid will be extended to members and their families in cases of sickness or death. In addition to the regular fees the members will, whenever necessary, pay a strike feo for the aid and benefit of strikers. By a referendum vote the various photo-engravers' unions have agreed to levy an assessment of $2 on each member to raise a fund that shall be used to maintain an establishment in which members of the trade who may be afflicted with tuberculosis may be treated. How this place is to be established and kept up Is to be decided by the international body. The United Railway Men's organization of the state of New York, which
; is a legislative body made up of mem
bers of the five railroad brotherhoods, will hold a special meeting at which a resolution will be passed demanding an amendment to the law creating the state and city public service boards, providing for the appointment of a representative of labor on both boards.
