A GIRL'S CISILLUSIONMENT. Home, though it looks pretty gloomy sometimes to the young, filled with the strange vague nomadic longings of youth, is far better than the heart-eating beast of the city. The case of Miss Cecille Esiy, the young Lake county girl who attempted to commit suicide following the failure of her plans to become a settlement worker in Chicago, should be a warning to other Impressionable women who have similar ambitions. ; Girls of a certain age are subject to Illusions. They imagine, as this girl did, that she could do much to relieve the suffering and misery of a wicked old city like Chicago. Her motives were of the best and she was prompted by a spirit of the highest idealism. But, oh the shock to the clean soul when It is forced to face the juggernant of the real in life. In this girl's desire to be of service to the poor, to counteract the Influences of the slums and raise the standards of morality of the submerged tenth, she did not take into account all of the hardships and the extreme self-sacrifice that such a career entails. She found that she was not able to earn enough, even after years of preparation for the work, to afford her even the comforts of life. Having
planned a career for charity she could not understand why she should be-
. come an object of charity. She came to know what an aching heart is She aw the rich with jeverything they want and the poor with nothing She saw vice in its lair' feeding upon virtue. '
It is easy to imagine that this young woman did not give up, what she had probably looked upon as a career, without many a tearful hour and without experiencing those periods of terrible despondency that come under
circumstances such as these.
She found this a thankless world, just as others have found it, and that
she, like the others, must finally permit the primal instincts of self-preserva
tion to assert themselves.
So she sought employment in other lines of work. She found she
could not earn a living wage in the factories and she became a waitress in
a restaurant. She was too proud to admit her failure to her friends and
parents.
ine attempt at suicide followed. It was the natural thing for her. It
is fortunate that her life was saved. The young woman probably will yet prove to be of service in her chosen line of work but she has probably discovered that she must enter upon such work advisedly and that there is the practical as well as the theoretical side to settlement work.
WHAT does Uncle YIm Hill mean by political ghost-dancing anyway ? - DID you ever know a fat man who liked to "go some" better than Mr.
Taft does?

when they give away a piece of It to
charity.

But do you realize that high heeled shoes may do much more than tire you may actually injure you? If you know anything at all about your internal organism you know that It is a very delicately balanced affair. Now the high heeled Bhoes throw the weight of the body forward, and if this position is held for too long a time, doesn't It seem quite natural that this delicate equilibrium might be disturbed?

THE RETURN OF A MINISTER. Last Friday this paper contained a short and simple news item to the effect that some of the members of Rev. Switzer's congregation 'Were against his return. Last night a Hammond paper having nothing else to say or do. in speaking of Rev. Switzer's return said: "This announcement will be doubly welcomed in view 'of the unwarranted unfounded and malicious attack which was printed in a local publication the other night after Mr. Switzer had left the city to attend the conference." Rev. Switzer is extremely unfortunate in having such coarse work done for him. THE TIMES simply printed the news. The item was not
uiiwdriaiiit'u nor was not nniounaea nor was it malicious, nor was it an
attack. Had this paper printed a written and signed statement concerning
the situation today in the Methodist church, a statement now in our possession, there might have been some basis for the falsehood printed in

A LESSON IN ADVERTISING. Subscribers to Chicago Sunday papers yesterday received two news
papers that contained a twenty-page advertisement for the Fair store. The
sd dwarfed any hitherto printed, it sets a precedent, and without doubt
the feat will attract country-wide attention.
The business men of Lake county will do well to study that big advertisement. It carries a .significant lesson. When a mercantile institution of the size of the Fair discards the two-page size, knocks over custom, and bows down to the fact that the phrase "Print and Prosper" means sticking
it at the affair is bound to create an impression.
It is not so long ago that the reader marveled at the store that carried a double column ad in a metropolitan paper. The wonder was greater
when the full page ad came and later days brought the two-page ad. We
are now on the verge of the twenty-page era.
