NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. Night after night we dauntlessly embark . i On Slumber's stream. In whose deep waves are drowned Sorrow and care, and with all senses bound.
Drift for a while beneath the sombre
arc
Of that full circle made of light and
dark
Called life; yet have no fear, and know
refound
Lost consciousness shall be, even at
the sound. -,
Of the first warble of some early lark
Or touch of sunbeam. Oh, and why not then Lie down to our last sleep trusting Him Who guided us so oft through shadows dim, Believing somewhere on our sense again . Some lark's sweet note, some golden beam, shall break. And with glad voices cry, "Awake! awake!"
. TO THE FOOLISH HOUSE. It may be misplaced but somehow or other we have a feeling of Byinpathy for the poor misguided sou'3 who poke fun at the innocent enthusiasms of childhood. We refer
more specifically to the extremely witty wights who write Santa Claus
letters to a newspaper for some grown
person with the brilliant idea of "putting one over the paper," to say nothing of ridiculing an adult. These
poor little souls are a living testa
ment to the old saw that Satan always finds something for idle hands
to do.
Their perverted idea of humor Is
pitiable. Their little warped minds are the butts of scorn. Among the humlreds upon hundreds of childrens' letters received here, now and anon
in a disguised hand appears one of these leiters. It fools no one. Its destination is the wastebaasket. Two cents, some white paper and a little
ink are wasted. It must be an awful strain on a
lightweight cerebellum to have to write one of these "funny letters."
Delivering
In Advance
THE FARMER'S PRICES.
WHY OMIT DU BARRY, ET AL? We confess a great interest in the list of the "twenty greatest women"
of the "world as compiled by Dr. Anna Shaw the more or less famous suffragette. Had it been a male who select
ed the "greatest" there might have
been an excuse but for a woman to choose as the greatest women some
of the most notorious courtesans that
evr lived it is baffling. Here Inci dentally is Dr. Shaw's list:
VOICE OF P E O F ITe
THE DAY IN CONGRESS
LIKES THE PLAN.
Eve, Vashti. - Miriam (the prophetess), Catherine of Russia, i'.onduea of Britain, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Mme. . Gulon, Charlotte Corday, Joan of -Arc, Elizabeth of .Hungary, George Eilot. Florence Nightingale, Abigail Adams, Lueretia Mott, Emma Wlllard, Mary Lyon, Elizabeth Fry, , Maria Mitchell, Queen Louise of Denmark, Harriet Martineau, Miss M. Carey Thomas, Jane Adams of
Chicago and Elizabeth Strachan. ' We are puzled to figure out how Dr. Shaw omitted the Pompadour, Du Harry and Mrs. Gunness when she includes Catherine of Russia.Cleopatra, Elizabeth and Corday. Of course it was quite a great stu$t for Corday to stab Marat in his bath tub and Antony probably thought Cleopatra the "onliest one" but for a modern woman to string out such a list of notorious females and pass them out as great well it Is an enigma unless she wanted to get her name in the papers. :
"Let prizes," said Governor Har
mon, of Ohio, in his speech at a recent agricultural meeting, "be given not
only to the farmers who raise the
largest crops, but to the farmers who get the biggest price for their crops
after they ar raised."
This is a thought worthy of the deepest consideration of the farmer.
A farmer like a manufacturer or a
business man can work his head off trying to produce quantity instead of quality. It is just the same on a farm when it comes to results as it is
anywhere else, 80 acres well tilled
and cared for is better than 160 acres
half-cultivated. Too many farmers actually waste their land. If some husbandmen would labor as hard to
get a good price for their crops as they do to raise the crop, intensive
farming would astonish the world.
Getting a price for a crop is really
an art in itself. It certainly brings
the business side of farming out in
clear contrast.
Verily does the farming occupation
require a diversity of talent. The farmr must be a weather forecaster, an entomologist ,a chemist, a physician, and last, but by no means least, a salesman. And if his salesmanship
knowledge is not able to place his products to advantage, all his other
knowledge will go for naught . While the farmer Is training his crop-raising ability he must also train his price-getting ability. Let him see to it that the former does rtoj get out of hailing distance of he latter.
Santa Clans, who comes around on Christmas eye, is not the only Christmas messenger. You can get a messenger to deliver your boxes and bundles in advance, so that you can be
Santa Clans yourself and not risk any
delay If you'll only BUY SOME TIME
IN ADVANCE OF CHRISTMAS.
Just order the goods sent around, and the Christinas messenger will deliTer them at your door. If you depend altogether upon Santa Claus he may disappoint you, for you know the dear old saint has a great many houses to visit.

Dear Sir: I noticed an editorial In

One suggestion which you make and which I think the most needed at the
present time is the drainage of the Little Calumet marsh from the Illinois
state d line east to the Porter county
line and further, Jf the paople In that
county desife it.

marsh would be drained would pay for
the entire cost. Now if this was drain

cheaply, as most of the line would b donated for Such purposes. All these
mprovements and many' others would
be very easily accomplished, if, as you

IN AND AROUND GARY.
THERE ia a geat deal of warrant
for belief in the old-fashioned hell of
fire and brimstone when one con
templates the criminal negligence of
people who laugh at quarantine regu
latlons: ' .
THIS is the time of the year when
you ought to do you share towards

better and that you love your neigh
bor more than you used to.
THE EDITORIAL BANKER.
The tender solicitude of a certain Gary banker-editor for the banks of the municipality would move the heart of a hickory nut. By all mean3 let us have all possible suggestions that will tend to keep other banks out of the city. Last week -this paper carried a story that South Bend financial men were contemplating the establishment of a second national bank in Gary thus giving the city seven banking institutions. Of course, ' our neighbor, with his well-defined finan
cial connections did not deny the re
port .which came from the best of
sources, but said that It was not credited in Gary's Wall street. RealPzing that in laying ourselves open to the charge of being anarchists radicals and the good Lord knows what, we of the common people hops that South Bend capitalists get more interested in Gary than they are now. They and the golden coffers of St. Joseph county will be welcome, for Gary will wax all the bigger, providing the gold is started this way. We oppose the theory that it won't
hurt any if "too many clothing stores
or printing offices are started" If
banks aren't included also.
Perhaps we might agree with the banker-editor, if, like hirn, we were
directors in two of Gary's six banks.
We could then certainly work our
editorial pen double-time or at least
time and a half to thwart the villain
ous designs of possible competitors.
A review of the past few weeks and
a prospectus of events scheduled to happen in the next few- days in and
around Gary exhibits a bsuy state of
affairs. If newspaper men have been slow in doing their Christmas Shop
ping it is because the kaleidoscope
whirl of events have left them but
little time for such things.
Of political history much has been written. The printing presses have groaned under the columns that have been embalmed in type. It took too much black face type to tell about the week just passed. As usual Col. T. W. Englehart. Matron saint of
Ridge road, cane in hand and sport
ing a new Stetson plug hat appeared before an admiring constituency. The colonel consented to let his name to be used In connection with the democratic ticket thus lending dignity to his party and possibly adding to his
income if he should chance to be more successful than he was the last time.
, It was at Hammond that the near martyrdom of Alderman M. N. Castle-
man took place. For some unknown reason Judge Reiter, when the distinguished statesman appeared before him, persisted In rubbing salt Into wounds that had been received while battling for the pe-pull. From West Hammond the December zephyrs carried the news that Miss Virginia Brooks might come over the Rhone and fight the Gary vice dragons. Zybysco has come and gone, the doc
tor's war continues apace with the pig-tall revolution in China and Doc Cook of North Pole fame ia booked at the Orpheum to tell how he did it.
The bankers have dined and if loans
are easy there is a'reason. ;
Just what that future, which is
near but still far away enough to cause the fog whistle to be Bounded,
will bring is not known. Yet it can
not ,we believe, bring events -any
more interesting.
TIME was when the Lake county
commissioners could get through
their work in one day. Now if they get through in one week, they caunt
themselves lucky.

An Innovation in Oil Heaters The Perfection Smokeless , Oil Heater, with its drums enameled ip turquoise, is an ornament to any room, whether in;' the country or city home. No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil Heater. It is a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be without heat In the midst, of winter it is often convenient as an auxiliary heater, as there are . always some cold comers in a house. . ' . The enameled heater always presents a nice appearance, as the enamel will not tarnish or bum off.' It is jiot an "enamel paint," but k is the same aa the enamel of your cooking utensils. , The Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portable heating device you can find. An automrbcally-locking flame spreader prevents turning the wick high enough to smoke. . i
