erable unfavorable comment. Tot instance the council talks of compelling the South Shore people to put up a $10,000 bond when the company is already well established in this region and a contract without a bond would be enforcible. It is admitted that in the case of a company which may be more or less of a myth a bond - is an evidence of good faith. But the idea of compelling a company that has lived up to its franchises the way the South Shore route has, to furnish a bond is ridiculous.

SNORE CAISES DIVORCES. The heavy snoring of August Machel

RIPE MAY" BE NOMINATED. Indications at this time favor the
nomination of John L. Rupe for state
senator from Wayne and Union counties on the republican ticket. Mr.
Rupe, who formerly was mayor of Richmond, Is one of the best known members of the Wayne county bar and
will be done if it Is granted a franchise. .
There has been a tendency on the, part of some of the residents on Indiana avenue to insist that all of the cars carrying passengers stop at every
street intersection. If they only realized that an interurban is a cross between a street car line and railway line they would see the folly of this
"demand.
It would be all right to require the local cars to stop but the Idea of compelling a limited train that was bound from Chicago to South Bend to
stop at every wave of the hand is foolish.
The people on Indiana avenue and the members of the Hammond city council who are splitting hairs about this franchise had better get down to business or the city will lose one of the best interurban opportunities it
ever had. Some cities would give an interurban line a bonus to make Just
such a change as the South Shore line contemplates.

THE FIRST CANDIDATE TO ANNOUNCE. In another column of this paper will be noticed the first political an
nouncement appearing for the 1910 campaign in a Lake County paper. Prof. W. A. Hill formerly of the Hammond High school has taken time by the forelock and announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for county treasurer. Mr. Hill will make a strong candidate. He has a large personal following, is respected by, his constituency and his acquaintance over' the county has brought him more or less into the political limelight. During the
last municipal campaign in Hammond, he was secretary of the republican city central committee and as such did effective work for the party. Friends of the Hammond man look for him to make a strong race. It is reported that there are to be a number of other candidates in the field for this nomin- . atlon and the fight among these candidates promfses to be a spectacular one.
BEECHER'S VIEW OF THE NEWSPAPER. In the United States every worthy citizen reads a newspaper and owns It, Henry Ward Beecher once said. A newspaper is a window through which men look out on all that is going on in the world. Without a newspaper a man is shut up in a small room and knows little or nothing of what is happening outside of himself. A good newspaper will keep a man ln sympathy Vwlth tho world's current history. It is an ever unfolding encyclopedia, an Unbound book, forever Issuing and never finishing.

OTHER WIFE APPEARS. The marriage of Barney Kline Frank,
son of Henry C. Frank of bouth uena, to Miss Rae Goldman, an heiress and well-known society leader at Davenport, la., was sensationally Itnerrupt-
ed by the appearance on the scene or
a woman, giving ner nam- m j-"' -

FLAX CIRCLE RAILWAY. The Circle Railway company, to
connect the seven county seat towns
and intervening villages around In
dianapolis by means of a belt traction
line, is showing signs of life, and those interested ln the enterprise pay
that, with the improved financial conditions, they will be able to sell their
bonds and build the road.
HOARD PAYS FOR ITSELF. The annual report of F. M. Murphy of Terre Haute secretary of the state board of optometry, published, shows the board to have been a source of revenue to the amount of $336.16 in the past year. The report says there are 472 registered opticians in the state. During the oast year three have died.
It Is not a sad thing at least It ought not to be to die. The only really sad thing about the end of life Is to stop living before you die. Far too many people seem to think that when they get to be seventy and seventyflve and eighty years old they must come to a standstill. They seem to have the Idea that because their time is more or less limited they must not take up any new or interesting thing., Suppose you were waiting for a friend to come and take you on a drive and vou didn't know Just what time he was to come. Would you hesitate to
experimenting take up any wort just because you didn't know whether you wculd have time
to finish it or not? , Wouldn't you probably begin a book or start a letter while you waited and get just as far as you could? I've seen old folks who sat passive waiting for the summons to come that s'hould call them into the other room and became mighty fretful and disagreeable while they waited. And then, again, I've seen old folks who'swere so busy living natural
lives they didn't realize they were waiting.
If you will, you can fill your life Just as full going down hill as you did
going up. Make up your mind to go on living, to go on seeing and doing
new things, to go on studying and playing and working just as hard as you have the power to do, while you go on breathing. 0 If there are things that you've wanted to, but haven't had time to do before, do them now. That's my advice to the people who've "climbed the hill" and are standing looking down the farther slope. Of course I haven't ever been on that slope of the hill, I'll have to admit that, so I don't speak from my own experience. But I've known folks who went down the hill both ways, and I speak from their exnerience.
For instance, one of the happiest old people I ever knew was a woman who began to take music lessons after she was seventy-five. She had loved, music all her life, but had never been able to play a note. When she was about seventy-five she found herself In possession of money and leisure that she had never before had, and promptly took up the study of the piano. Be
fore she died she was pronounced by those who knew anv unusually wgooa player. Julia Ward Howe's daughter told me recently that her mother's dally regime included, besides an hour or two at the piano and much reading In English, also the mastery of some Greek classic she had not previously read
and some time at literary work. And Julia W ard Howe is ninety. Another old lady whom I knew Inherited some money when she waa seventy-seven, and. Instead of getting ready to pass It along to her grandchildren, went abroad and took a wonderful trip through all the Biblical countries In which she had always had a passionate interest. It's never too late to do something you've never done before; It's never
too late to do something you've always wanted to do; it's never too late to crowd some more living and enjoying and doing Into life while you can still breathe.
