MARY'S STORY IN THE HOUSE OF JOHN. Oaee more jou waat to hear me tellf IVe stopped to drink, at David's Well Before we reached the laa, A palm As of great peace was on the palm, A bird flew to her happy aest, A low krack hnshed la erealaa; restj Aad on the ridge beyond, a fox Slipt to his hole among the rocks. That night of marvel and alarms The Woadcr-Bab was In my arms. But when He came rose-white tae One Who made the world and lit the sua) There was no place where we cow Id lay His head, save la the oi'i haySave In the ass' hnmble stall i So there we laid the Lord of all, A yoke was leaalng to the bed, A Man-net hanjelag overhead! And unfcier yellow barley ricks A hen wns brooding- on her chicks. Outside I heard the shepherds ataeThen flashed the lightning of a wlngt There was quick fragrance In the air, A senad of harping everywhere) Aad cries of far hoaannae cries That silvered ont of rifted skies; And thru the rooof I conld discern The a lory of the angels burn Till suddenly the little stall Shone like a lighted palace fcalli And I was filled with raptnre-rest. For God was warm against my breast. Edwin Markham In The Ladies' World. NOW LISTEN FOR IT! Now that Alderman M. N. Castle man has defeated his opponents in open courts and has staved off all kinds of schemes and efforts to put him in the jug the common pe-pull of Gary and the rest of the county can expect to see some spectacular vaudeville legislation on the part of the statesman. Old Battle Axe is said to be thirst ing for revenge and even if he don't get he'll put up an awful roar. If you look over the council record you'll find that at times there are rays of brilliancy in Battle Axe's leg islative career. While he has intro duced ordinances, which would graut street car lines the right to run through parks, clamored for legislation that would give Gary two police departments, meddled with ordl nances that would open up streets through switch yards and through steel mills, inflicted Metropolitan brick upon a protesting and milked populace, yet he has at times, given good advice. In fact, one of Battle Axe's most noted orations was one wherein he advised his fellow aldermen to pay city servants enough so they wouldn't have to graft and suggested a salary eight times higher than that which the law allows. While the law is a barrier, we have it from our old friend, Mayor Knotts, that It is some times necessary to brush It aside. But his fellow statesmen wouldn't listen to the champ-een of the pe-pull and as a result many have fallen and some Gary officials are having a hard time with the courts. ' ANYTHING ELSE? The newspapers inform us that straw hats and doctor bills are both going to be higher in price this sum mer. Now if you can think of any thing that has been over-looked In this higher cost of living proposition kindly let us know. GIVE THE PROPER FICTION Why Is it that public libraries are so prone to be deficient in the matter of their fiction department? This is a criticism that is fre quently made of public libraries and the Hammond Institution for Instance is lamentably weak in this branch of literature. The result is that the library board has come In for a great amount of criticism from patrons who have clamored long and earnestly for more fiction, but without gratifica tion. Works on science, reference books and the like, Bimply lie upon the shelves, gathering dust, while there is an ever-increasing demand for Action. Some of the best novels of the day, indeed many of them, are con spicuous by their absence and the re suit is general dissatisfaction. There is a tendency on the part of library boards to regard the novel In too light a spirit. They should not lose sight of the fact that whether they approve of novels or not, the public does. A public library i public library, and designed to cater to the largest number of persons, which constitute its patronage. There is no doubt that science, his tory, philosophy and the arts ar good reading, for such as like that sort of thing, and for such as follow professions which require constant reading along these lines. But the novel is by no means a thing to be scorned. It appeals to various tastes for various reasons, some of them just as praisworthy and just as elevated as do the solemn tomes whose context Is so dull to the average reader. If "the absence of fiction on the shelves .turned the minds of library

subscribers to more serious channels

in the matter of their reading, there might be some slight reason for supplying the shelves with science and heavy reading at the expense of the flctoin. Hut it docs not. That" lighthearted somebody, the average reader, ia particular. He wants fiction or nothing. You may lead the lover of fiction to the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, or to "Pre-Adam-ites," or "Statute and Common Lav n Indiana," but you cannot compel him to read these worthy works. He wants amusement. Amusement, according to his lights is only to be found in light reading, or if not essentially light reading, at least in standard fiction. The library board is apt to take itself and its duties and the reading public too seriously. It is prone to mistake its functions for those of a board of literary reform. What it needs to do is to come down to earth. To supply the popular demand, instead of the few who crave heavy reading. If it does this, merely weedng out the cheap, yellow, novels, it will have fulfilled its obligations. I - 1, COURTS AND CRITICISM. Publication of the facts that judges in New York freed 611 persons after conviction, and that out of 125 murd ers there were only thirteen convictions will astonish the ordinary citizen, while at the same time explain ing the prevalence of crime. It is considered quite risky to criticize the courts and newspapers in general are quite chary about It, but sometimes it behooves the people who support the courts to take an Inventory of these institutions Perhaps if poeple understood courts better, they would understand why so much crime and so manV horrible deeds are permitted to go unpunish ed. What of it? A WISE CHOICE. The best bit of luck that has" fall en to the lot of the Indiana republicans in years is the election of Fred Sims to the state republican chair manship. Mr. Sims is liked generally; he is well fitted and well equipped to take care of the Importantoffice he was given. The 6tate chairmanship is a task of herculean proportions but if any republicans in Indiana can make good there Fred Sims can. There will be general rejoicing over ; the state at Mr. Sims" election and tha opinion - will be almost unanimous that a better man than the genial Frankfort leader will be hard to find. The republican party is to be congratulated now if It never gets another gets another opportunity. THE campaign seems to be warm ing up. Here's a story about "a can didate who to gain any advantage would plunge his political knife of treachery into the back of a friend and extend his hand to his deadliest for." Nothing to get excited about however, that's merely polities'. TO hear these democrats tell it, it is a wonder that some of these republicans who hate Taft so much, do not slip a little poison in his coffee when they are invited to dine with the presi dent at the White House. A NEW York congressman insists that there are too many congressional probes going on for the good of the country- Judging by what probes usu ally accomplish .this congressman is correct. THE business men of Lake county, who are for Roosevelt, should kindly remember what Mr. Roosevelt did for business a few years ago when he was president, and act accordingly. THE handful of republican editors who gathered at Indianapolis recently most of them from weeklies must not think that they represent the option sentiment in this etae. NEW York woman's husband said she was a cros'B between a vampire and a horseleech and then she sued for divorce. Don't blame her. His language was decidedly indefinite. PLUNGING In the politicians say that the water is fine. Several are sitting on the bank however waiting for some one to hit . current event! with a uplash. THERE ought to be one great comfort to an entirely bald-headed man. He never has to worry for fear it is going to get any worse. WRIGHT Bros, have succeeded in making the aeroplane fool-proof but no one has been able to do as much for the automobile. THE 'reason that some men decline

to buy a talking machine is because they married one and feel that ona in the house is plenty.'

NO wonder, however that the poor old Calumet river should get all kinked up lying in that sort of a bed all these years. SEEMS as though some women would just rather freeze to death than wear what their grandmothers did to keep warm. OLD Doc Wiley Bays that all men can live to be 93. Notice how cocky and youthful the doc is since he got spliced? "THREE more trusts are to feel the probe," says a headline. Yes, but will the people feel any relief after the probe? STIFLING the gapes we rise to remark that it seems almost time for the hon. battle axe Castleman to sit down. CERTAINLY tough weather on rail road presidents one way and another. The are dropping off like leaves In fall. AD in paper reads: "Extra good ladies' woolen hose.",. Suppose they don't sell naughty ladies hose. ETERNITY seems a long time except to an engaged Homewood couple saying goodbye to one another. ALAS! Poor Robert Marion LaFollette seems to be the unfortunate vie tlm of circumstances. YOU never think a man a bore, do you, when he is talking to you about your good points? BY and by the candidates will begin combing their relatives for funds L HAVE you sent for your garden seeds yet? EI EAR D BY ... . RUBE LEAVE it to old Battle Axe to come out on top. The pee-pul are vindicated. ALTHOUGH butter is between 40 and 50 cents, remember that strawberries are only 69 cents a quart. MARKET reports indicate that the present supply of oysters is small. So are the oysters. II. W., CROWN POINT: Tes. English is spoken fluently In many parts of Gary TRAVELS of "Dog-Face" Charley: A post card received yesterday indicates that the distinguished Garylte has ar rived in New York and will call on Mayor Gay nor tomorrow to offer his services In the next election. He has recommendations. SOUNDS LIKE T. B. DEAN. (Larimer probe In The Record-Herald.) "I had already set up a dictagraph in room 729 at the King Edward hotel and had James E. Sheridan, our stenographer, in room 730 at the other end of the dictagraph." .MILLER subscriber writes to ask what has become of the old-fashioned glass butter dish cover that waa shaped like a setting hen. WHEN you let a man wash dishes for you he'll generally turn, the faucet on ana let the water run on the cups and saucers and bread plates and will then wash the rest. NEW MEXICO editor whose headlines read: "Police Place Fake Bridegroom Under Arrest," Instead of "Police Place Bridegroom Under Fake Arrest" is now twanging a harp on the other side of the Jordan. WHEN WOMEN GET THEIR RIGHTS. A Lake County Election Tim.) "Understand that the Judgess Is Ineligible to run for governeress as she does not belong to the D. A. R." "Just saw the mayoress slipping Tog-Face' Charlotte a five spot." "Major is a nussy. She said that Grandma voted against the ordinance to put talcum 'powder Jn the council boudoirs." "Madame Castelman won out before the Jury couple of days ago. Her dress maker testified that It was untrue that she wore hobble skirts." "The Lydia, Pinkham marching club has been organized at the Harbor." During the past month the poor old Standard OH has raised the prices three times. Running thirty-four companies instead of one is expensive, and those who laugh at trust smashing must pay the bill. A. M., IIOBART, R. V. D.- Your suggestions that in case a Y. M. C. A. is started on Ridge road. Mayor Knotts teach civil government and Alderman Castleman parliamentary law in the night school classes, has been referred to the directors.

VOICE OF P E O R lTe START CLEAN-CP RIGHT. Crown Point, Ind., Feb. J. Editor Times: I see by a local paper the housewives of Crown Point have band ed together and will not patronize merchants and butchers whose drivers misuse their horses or carry a whip. Now, ladies, wouldn't It be & great deal nicer if we would band together and have our orders in by 9 o'clock Instead of waiting until 10 or 11 and then run to the telephone every five minutes to hurry up with that order? I am a great lover of horses, too, and think a great many horses are misused by standing aroundthesquare from 9 until 3, 4 and S In the after noon. And those that are manly enough to put their horses In the liv ery barns, the city officials go around and have the livery men pinched If they happen to find a rig standing in front of their place of business. If the city officials wish to clean up, why don't they start In on the vice and crime and sin Instead of the poor horse? We la dies can accomplish a great deal If we start right. A READER OF YO'JR PAPER. MAKES A COMPLAINT. Crown Point, Ind., Feb. S.--Edltor Tim.es: The city papers have given Messrs. Hayden and Kilborn a little advertising when they thought they were doing right by taking In a feed horse and just running the rig outside. They were both, trotted up before the captain's office in a very quiet and gentleman-like manner, but it got out and for the past week or ten days the air has been so thick with our marshal that one can cut it with a knife where several of our best business men have gone to his assistance, but not a word in our papers. No; not one. When a few weeks ago an ex-sheriff plugged a few beer bottles through a saloon window, not a word from our home papers was said. Is that the way to deal with your fellow citizens? It seems that if one can wear a star or a good suit of clothes all the time they are privileged characters. 1 guess It pays to be In the ring. ONE WHO KNOWS. DOST LIKE ROOSEVELT. To the Editor: I am asking you a question now which I believe every honest-hearted, enterprising American citizen can answer. It Is this all Important subject: What has Theodore Roosevelt done for the betterment of this government ever since he was placed in the presidential chair by the majority of the people? Since he came before the public has his career not been a selfish one? Has he taught our people economy? Has he taught our young, rising generation to be enterprising and economizing? Of course, he has traveled and visited many places of enterprise And delight to his own personal delight, for while he visited these places and flooded oor newspapers with his wonderful exploits in gunnery, killing the wild animals in Africa, and other wonderful things he did was simply for self-aggrandizement. What good, pray tell, did all that do our government? It took an Immense pile of money to equip and carry him around in style. Do you not believe this, that he would have gained himself far more lasting honor had he used the money he has thus squandered for self alone in making some of God's poor happy for life by baying Just a few acres of ground for several poor families who had no home in this world and saying to them: "This Is yours now; hereafter improve this and be happy?" Such an act would have gained him the blessing of God and, the respect of the people and there would arise no doubts in the mind of the people as to placing him at the head of government again; but has his conduct merited that place again? No, 1 say; a thousand times no. A man that is enjoying all the delights of this world that money can possibly purchase and then say 75 cents is enough for a poor laboring man for a day's work; I wonder how those who placed him in authority by their vote would like to have this kind of government brought home to them. If it was only those who voted him into authority that would have to surfer his tyranny it would be well. There will be a monarchlal government before another presidential season closes. Our free loving American citizens will realize to their heart's deep, lasting sorrow that liberty is no longer ours. A WOMAN". If you are a judge of aualltv try a La Vendor Cigar. ,
