I have controlled the world's supply of vegetable whiskers dye; in every hamlet in the land where whiskers dye in demand, I've had my agents, all alert, for any sort of triok or dirt. I've ruined scores who'd sell or buy an independent whiskers dye; I've hounded dealers to the tomb, and filled their widows' homes with gloom. I've been a cast-Iron Juggernaut, that rolled along, nor gave a thought to anything but nailing scads the gocd old dollars of our dads. And now that I am worn and old, and days are sad an nights
are cold, ghosts walk with me a grisly crew the ghosts of men I wrecked and slew. They wander with me, grim and stark; they gather round me in the dark; they point their fleshless hands, and, cry: "A camel through a needle's eye can quicker leap than you can rise, with all your plunder, to the 6kies!" I hear that weird refrain all day; and so I'll give my wealth away. I'm near the ending of the road, and so I'll hasten to unload; and then, perhaps, the last milepost won't find me walking with the ghosts! WALT MASON. Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

DECORATION DAY 1910. Another year has slipped, by into the past and again and again has the Last Roll Call been heard for brave soldiers of bygone wars and taps sounded for them. Monday is Decoration Day, which this country . dedicates to Its soldier dead. In many .a graveyard will services be held and tears shed for those r.cver-to-be forgotten patriots some who died in war with the din of battle around them, and others in peace with loving hands administering to their last needs. So general has become the observance of Memorial Day that not only do we hallow the memory of the dead heroes, but also all those who have been called hence not matter what their etation or lot In life shall have been. Though lost to sights they are still. to memory dear and are mourned as only the beloved dead can be mourned. And bo on Monday Memorial Day will
have a new and sadder meaning than ever for those of us whose dear one3 died during the past year. From the haunts of men and marts of trade, the hosts of mourners will gather.. Tbyey will visit those sacred burying grounds, in whose tombs, under the blue vault of heaven rest all that is mortal of their beloved dead. The incense of blossoms, watered with tears, will waft benedictions and prayers on the air and Decoration Day will once again pass into history commorated with sorrow.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO HAMMOND.
Hundreds of years before the hustling industrial cities of the United States thought of adopting slogans that world capital, the city built on seven hills, boasted that, "All roads lead to Rome." This was Rome's slogan. The Romans knew the value of transportation facilities. The Romans knew that political and commercial progress are only possible when a city is able to keep in close touch with the outside world. Jn those days the wagon roads an,d the waterways were the only means of transportation and communication. Today the wagon roads serve only the territory in the immediate vicinity of the city. The interurban roads reach farther out into the suburban disticts and on to neighboring and even
distant cities. The steam railroads with their perfect roadbeds, their palatial; could afford it,
cats and their enormous mileage of tracks reach the most distant points in the land. Hammond has a splendid system of paved urban and interurban wagon roadways. Ita railroads branch out to the four points of the compass, but its

, AN EDITOR WITH A GOOD EYE. Editor A. J. Smith, of the Hobart Gazette, a gentleman possessed of acumen out of the ordinary, visited Gary the other day and says o'f his visit: The development of. the south part of the city is miraculous and cannot be imagined. Only a visit there will be convincing. This remarkable growth would extend clear to Hobart if our proposed electric line could be built. Otherwise it will gradually ex- , tend south along the proposed Crown Point line, which is now under construction. Several carloads of rails for this electric line are now at Glen Park and work of laying them will begin at once on .". the south part of Broadway as that line will be built as far north as the river.
