LIFE'S MIRROR.

There are loyal hearts, there are

spirits brave. There are seals that are rare and trne,

Thea give to the world the best yon

For life Is the mirror of kind and

Then give to the world the bent yon

have And the best will come back to you. Madeline S. Bridges.

and one at Hoffman street and Calumet avenue, then a very Important

retail center is being up at the

corners of State and Sibley street 3 and Calumet avenue.

On the south side there is a de

veloping business district in the vl cinity of the Conkey plant on Con-

key avenue and of course the stores districts at the gates of the Standard

Steel Car plant must not be over

looked. As the population of Hammond increases and grows more dense these outlaying business districts will become more important. As modern stores supplant the makeshift stores in which these neighborhood business started and big stoclrs of goods are built up by the requirements of trade they will become increasingly more important. This important development should! be taken into consideration

in the matter of making purchases Of

real estate. Wherever a great cen

ter of population has been built up in a section of the city that is remote

from the old established business

district it is a good bet that it will

soon have a business district of it own if it does not already have one Some of the most successful busi

THE MILLER PARK.

" In his latest tear-talned exudation Alderman Battleaxe Castleman of the Gary city hall gang comes out with a statement that somebody is trying to "bleed" the pe-pull of Gary by way of preventing the proposed grab of the Gary park board on the Miller lake front. Oh the villainous leeches! The people of Miller have good reasons to be suspicious of the Gary city hall. As for Battleaxe they know too well his career. How many times did he rush through the

council paving brick grabs? How many times did he vote to let assessments to the highest bidder? Who was the man that Introduced ordinances to open up streets through the steel mill property and to grant utreef car companies franchises through the only park' Gary has? Castleman was one of them as a diligent perusal of the council records will show. If Castleman and his cohorts fathered measures to despoil the parks at Gary what assurances have the people of Miller that they will not be exploited by the gang, of "concession" holders that he talks about. In turning down the proposition of the Gary ad?enturer the town trustees of Miller are saving the pure

air of the lake front from the taint of the dictagraph, the high assess

ment steals, and the trail of the dive keeper .

THIS BUSY WORLD. So rapid is the whirl of events in our own country that the newspapers are giving but little space that are being staged today in the world theatre. Our local issues, the TaftRoosevelt controversy the steel trust dissolution suit, and the amazing interest accorded baseball and a hun

dred other things hardly give us time to notice what is doing in th3

busy globe. The war continues to wage In Tripoli and Italy's activity in the Aegean sea, especially the capture of the noted Island of Rhodes, recalls historical memories that take in nearly thirty centuries. China is still being scourged .by rebels and the flag of treason has been raised in the mountains of Paraguay. Mexico continues to grow ominously turbulent and there is no cessation in the restlessness in England's labor situation. And in that land and in Ire

land there is bjtter warring over the Irish home rule bill.

Spain Is sending its last armada

into Morocco, a sad reminder of the

grand but - ill-fated fleets it sent

against English shores more than

four centuries ago. The armada

only serves to draw back the curtain

to revive memories of the now lost world-power of that nation, weak but still proud.

NEW RETAIL CENTER.

-AVhen a city reaches a certain size

the central business district no long

er serves the emergency needs of the outlying districts and as a result

new retail centers are built up

Hammond, because of its great expanse of territory, has four of these

districts.

Robertsdale has its own business district on accpunt of the in-accessl-billty of Whiting . and Hammond business districts, the north side of Hammond has two of these districts, one at Hohman aid Gostlin streets

of Miller to pass an ordinance denying him the right to make a park for the pe-pull on the lake front. Don't worry, Cassy, it looks like you'll get denied without the formality of a resolution. EVEN if Buttermilk Fairbanks isn"t the republican dark horse you can bet your sweet lief that there'll be some Hoosler on the prseidential tickets. EVERY time the Calumet region gets

a new steel plant she has to lengthen her petticoats and every time Pittsburgs gets one the fashion of her millionaires seem to be for shorter ones. NO doubt Hammond has learned by

this time that a church convention

isn't a continuous motion picture of the glad hand being extended.

HENNERY COLDBOTTLE didn't go to the annual ball of the Gary cops last night for the reason that Mrs.

Duck Voorhees, a young man of Losantville, yesterday afternoon cut the throat of his' lifelong friend, Carl Phillips, of the same place, at a Muncie hotel bar, and escaped. Although Phillips is badly slashed, his chances of recovery are thought to be fair. The knife missed his juglar vein. The cutting occurred during a quarrel between the men over the amount of change laid on the bar by the bartender. Dili t i BOXES OF IXDIAXS.

AN ODD NEWSPAPER ANGLE.

A remarkable error is noted in a

number of eastern papera in reagrd

to the tale "Sockless" Jerry Simpson. They are quoting Simpson as predicting the nominations of Roosevelt and Clark and a number of other papers copy the predictions until

it has become popular to use the Simpson prediction as one of the

features of the campaign. Jerry Simpson, one-time congressman ia dead and burled these many years. Hia body has returned to him who gave it long ago. ' Mrs. Simpson his widow however is a spiritualist and some time ago professed to receive a communication from Jerry in the spirit world. The message waa that Roosevelt and Clark would be nominated. Newpapers reading the dispatch hurriedly thought Jerry was talking in his own person and

thus the story got around.

THIS is the time of the year when

we anxiously ascertain whether last

summer's ice box will not last another season. NOTICE by a Times' advertisement that you shouldn't select a corset merely by the waist measure. Maybe this seems odd to you, but if you have had experience at all with waist measures you'll know that the way they slip up and down, according to fashion, that what was 22 last year might be 25 this year. PROFESSORS of otology at Harvard say that we all be bugs a few years hence if the noise-making devices keep on increasing. Cheer up, old profs, the T. R.-Taft squabble will be over by November. IF some of these telephone girls that we talk to, but whom we never see, have as pretty disposition as their voices are it's a wonder that more of them aren't taken.

FRANCE and England are getting so cordial that their school children are

skipping across the channel for weekend-excursions and probably after a while it will extend this way in which case you'll see similar excursions between Gary and Hammond. SOUTH CHICAGO is all fussed up because it has learned that a revolutionary battle was fought in its midst. So, If it takes them 136 years to hear of a scrap up there you can judge what kind of newspaper readers the South Chicagoans are. t OFTEN when you pick up the want ad column of a newspaper you sometimes see an ad for a good "Christian office boy." They are generally inserted by street paving contractors. IIOL,Y smoke! For the life of us we can't figure out why those property owners in Hammond want to hold meetings to get the streets sprinkled.
