Taking life by the easy nandle does not mean that one Is to neglect duties till they pile up In front like a small mountain and dare one to forget them. It means a faithful performance of necessary duties as they show up and an avoidance of useless ones. It means doing a little bit each day and forgetting for the moment that there is anything to carry forward to the next day. There are two exasperating classes in the world, those who work too hard and those who will not work at all. They are much larger than the third class, made up of reasonable men and "women who do their duty as soon as they see it and take pleasure as it comes. Modern life is complex under any circumstances, but it is not the struggle some would have us believe unless we voluntarily add to our burdens.

THE TTtlTlfi.

HIGH SCHOOL TIDINGS. Basket-ball Ipractice was held last night at 4:30, The team is workinr hard for the Laporte game, as they expect a good contest. The members have not slackened their pace and so far no defeat has been chalked up against them. If this can be kept up the championship will again be in the grasp of Hammond. The program stating the order In which the finals will be given will be put on the board. This is the last week to make up back work as the finals will begin Tuesday. All students who do not have to take them will receive a vacation lasting as long as the finals On Friday the first semester comes to a close. No opening exercises were held yesterday morning. Instead Principal McElroy made a few announcements concerning the program which is being arranged to adjust the studies more perfectly so there will be no great conflicts. At present the people who live out of town and attend high school have some trouble in arranging the studies. The new program will be as nearly perfect as possible, and it Is hoped will be satisfactory to all. Orchestra practice was held last night under the direction of Professor Learning. More interest is being manifested than heretofore. No ninth period was held last evening. Everybody was dismissed. No tears were shed; instead it made a "hit" with everybody, especially those who otherwise had to remain. The basket-ball management is trying to arrange a curtain raiser game ror the Hammond-Laporte game. Crown Point will not be the next opponent of Hammond after all Crown Point canceled the - game, as their preliminary oratorical contest comes off Friday evening. The game will be played later on. On account of the concellation of the Crown Point game, Laporte has been induced to come over here and play This will undoubtedly be a good, fast game as both Hammond and Laporte nave triumphed over South Bend. On account of the victory over South Bend the basket-ball team Journeyed over to Blcknell's. You know the rest Guess one high school correspondent got his all right from the "fac" last evening. YOUNG ROWDY IS PUNISHED (Continued from Page One,) lum he started out to find him, and it is safe to say that if he had found Smith he would not have been able io appear in court this morning.

Mrs. McAleer, Mrs. Hammond and Miss Hemstockalso swore out warrants for his arrest on surety of the peace charges. Pleaded Guilty. This afternoon Smith decided to plead guilty to the charge of assault, and the Hammond people decided not to press the other charges on Smith's promise to be good in the future. The police have been instructed, however, to pick Smith up and take him to jail the first time he steps over the bounds. Edward Smith's father is the superintendent of the Interstate Steel and Iron company at. Indiana Harbor, and his brother is well known here. ARE FREE WITH THEIR PROMISES (Continued from Page One.) Into Wolf lake, as that body of water is higher than Lake Michigan. Ensrlneer Should Be at Work Today. There was little argument at the ses sion yesterday. The Hammond authori ties stated thtir case briefly and their statements were not doubted by the Glucose men. They seemed very much surprised at such a state of affairs and promised relief. This left little room for immediate action as far as the city authorities are concerned, and after Mr. Gray had given his assurance that the nuisance would be abated, if the Glucose were guilty. Mayor Becker emphasized the necessity upon the Glucose people of getting busy at once. They promised again and said their engineer would be at work today. Those who were present at the con ference yesterday were: Mayor Lawrence Becker, Adam Ebert, president of the board of public works; Jacob Schloer and Peter L. Davis, members of the board of public works; Dr. W. D.

Joe Jones is an old offender when it comes to being arrested for beina: drunk. The police have picked him up until they are tired of it. In fact. Joe has been taken to the police sta tion so many times that he makes the patrol wagonless journey with as clear a conscience as though he was going to work in the morning. But the police are tired of his ac tions. They determined to reduce the number of his arrests annually by giving him some good long sentences. The nrst was one In which he was fined $25 and costs, amounting to $35. IF TOP DONT BEE IT Hf THE OTB. M-jrtutta LOOK FOR IT Cf THB

Interesting Railroad Facta. In one year, 1907, one man, with the aid of .modern railroad appliances, was able to move one ton of freight 139,960 miles, and one passenger 16,397 miles. A man with a good team of two horses and a wagon on roads better than the average American road would be doing well to haul 1 tons 30 miles, six days in the week, or 13,500 ton miles per year, leaving no time for passenger transportation. At this rat it would require more than ten men and 20 horses to do the freight transportation which one man does with a railroad and without any horses; and to carry the freight traffic which the railroads of this country carried last year, 17,500,000 men and 35,000,000 horse's would be required. Instead of the 1,672,000 men who actually not only effected the transportation of all this freight, but of all the passenger traffic also. The improvements since 1889 alone have enabled 1.672,000 men to do what in 1889 would have required 700,000 more. Railroad Age-Gazette. Good Demand for Lead in China.
