GILL, THE USELESS MAN. In the state of pure savagery no man depended upon others. j Today these is scarcely one man In ten millions who does not depend definitely upon the service of others for part of his sustenance. la ; re-' turn it is necessary for him to repav in kind. ' ' ! The art of serving others has hecome the science of existence. Sometimes this service Is direct and personal. In other cases a man renders it by beconimg part of a vast industrial machine. But always it is ennobling. It is only when a man attempts to reap where he has not sown that Le becomes a parasite and to be a parasite is to be a criminal, whether the unearned has come through Inheritance of burglary. To have the right to eat you must earn your food, and this means service given in exchange to those who serve you. To earn bread by the sweat of the brow is not only necessary; it i3 magnificent. It is the badge of civilization for men and nations are progressive only in proportion a they labor. There is no surer death-sentence to civilization and commercial enterprise than a warm climate where men may live without effort; and to revert quickly to the baboon an! the ring-tall It is necessary only to remain idle. The Robin Hoods and Jesse James of history were different from the idle rich of today only in the fact that their methods were more romantic. The idea is the same. It is to get something without giving anything in return. Service means progress, and the men who grow are the ones who make themselves useful. Judged from the cashier's standpoint, some of these are overpaid and some are ill-rewarded, but, measured by a standard that is more important, their reward is automatically complete. The man who wants more than he

THE ISLE OF THE LONG AGO. Ok, a wonderful itreaa la the River Time. -Aa It flows tkrougk tbe realm nt Tears, With a faultless rhythm aad a musical rhyme. Aad a broader sweep aad a surge nib. lime. As It blends with the Ocean of Teara. How the wlatera are drifting like flakes of snow! And the summers like bads he t ween And the Year. In the sheaf sa they cone and they go Oa the River's breast with Its ebb and t flow. As they glide In the shadow aad sheen. There's a magical Isle up the River Time Where the softest of alra are playing;! There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime And a voice as sweet as a vesper chime. And the Junes with the rosea are staying. And the name of this Isle is the LongAgo, Aad we bary our treasures there There are brews of beauty aad bosoms of snow Tkey are heaps, of dust, but we laved them so! There are trtaklets aad tresses of hair. There are fragments of song thnt nobody sings. And a part of aa Infant's prayer. There's a harp unswept and a lute without strtna-a. There are brokea vows aad pleeea of rings, Aad the garments thnt SHE used to wear. There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore By tbe mirage Is lifted In alr And we sometimes hear through the turbulent roar Sweet voices we heard la the days gone before, Vhen the wind down the River Is fair. Oh, remembered for aye be tbe blessed Isle. All the day of our life till night, Aad when evealag comes vrljk'. Its beautiful amlle, , Aad our eyes are closing la slumber awktle. May that "Greenwood" of soul be In sight. Benjamin F. Taylor. earns is a hog. The one who wan.a something without earning anything is at heart a thief and - both are fundamentally. heathen and contemptible. The only tioble ideal of life is the Ideal of service. EOLIAGE SCREENS. One phase of city beautiful propaganda which deserves more attention than it receives is the utility of the foliage screen. More eyesores can be eliminated from sight by means of the foliage screen than in any other way. v These screens could be used to advantage in screening off railroad tracks such as the Monon and Erie which traverse the residential districts of the city. In the business districts climbing vines can be used to advantage to screen off bare walls. Mrs. C. C. Smith has made her surroundings on State street where she lives more beautiful by utilizing vines to hlda the bare walls of a nearby building. It would be a good idea for people to maEe a study of the question of the utilization of foliage screens. They will find that they will makj life worth living in Hammond. WHY THEY GO TO INDIANA. It is pleasing to see the Calumet region grow even if of late most of the gain has been in the shape of bis industrial developments on the Indi ana side of the state line. There are several reasons why industries prefer to locate in the Hoosier state. In the first place the legislature there has passed favorable laws and has maintained a friendly attitude toward employers of labor. This view-point Is also reflected in -the county and municipal governments of Indiana. For instance, when a few streets in name only, never used, .never recognized and not needed, are sought to be vacated to enable an industry to acquire a large undivided tract, In Indiana the authorities do not hold up the property owners for large sums for "compensation." In Indiana the state freely grants submerged land to factories along the shore of Lake Michigan. The former condition is held to be the reason why the Baldwin Locomotive Works did not locate north of Lake Calumet near an unlimited labor market; the latter has freely been stated as the reason for the existence of the city of Gary. , But these are not the only advan tages that Indiana holds out to pros

pective factories.

Property in Indiana harbor and vicinity is made attractive for Industries by artificial waterway improvements costing millions. Before Uncle Sam had promised assistance the Hoosier boosters built canals and perfected plans for a grea development of terminal facilities. A canal is now being dredged through Lake George which will become Whiting's inland harbor. Hammond will benefit from this and from the project to deepen Calumet river from the Forks to the Indiana Harbor canal. -They are getting busy in Indiana. The big attractions there are facilities for cheap transportation by rail and water, freedom from labor troubles and favorable and friendly governing bodies. Unless the opportunities for waterway development in the Calumet region are improved at once by the city with its $5,000,000 bond Issue now available, it is likely that the rivalry between the Chicago and Calumet rivers will soon be lost sight of and It will not be Chicago or Calumet, but it will be "Chicago or Indiana." The Calumet river to Riverdale Is also quite as susceptible of deepening as the east branch. We wish our Hoosier neighbors every possible success. We do not begrudge them one iota of their splendid development. On the contrary we are glad to be taught th excellent lesson of their example anJ to respectfully present the same for the consideration of our own powers that be, but which occasionally also slumber. Calumet Record. HAMMOND man has brought suit against his wife because she slept too much. Some men are never satisfied. There are men who wish that their wives would sleep more and give them a chance to get up stairs at 1:45 a. m. WE understand WTarden Fogarty of the Michigan City penitentiary 13 fussing a great deal over a llittle hanging that should take place next June. Why worry, Fogarty? The pardoning board will get in Its work never fear. A MAN In Berlin has been sent to prison for five years for selling diluted alcohol as a beverage. In some places they send -such men to tbe city council. THE Chicago doctor who says that every bachelor should adopt a baby evidently thinks every old maid ought to adopt a nasty little poodle or a parrot. A REMARKABLY honest Chicago doctor sent in a certificate of death the other day with his name signed in the space reserved for "Cause of death." FUNNY world! Here's a Wiscon sin man who Was arrested for sobbing too loud at a funeral. Wisconsin evidently thinks a sniffle is just plenty. THERE are certain signs in tha news columns of the daily papers that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is about to inflict herself on the stage again. "PROGRESS la stripping gayly along", says the Laporte Herald. If progress doesn't have a care she will be run in by the Laporte constable. WHEN you argue with the other fellow and he refuses to agree with you on politics, why you think that is being a demagogue don't you? SOMEBODY ought to call the attention of May to the fact that If she were a little less chilly she would have more admirers. THE President's "back is against the wall." A sign should be put up warning wayfarers to keep away from the other side of it. A. Yes the republican party Is facing a crisis, but it has faced many crises in the past 50 years and weathered the storms nicely. AT least, if the twenty-four-hour clock is adopted, the married man will know that It Is time to go home when It strikes 23. AT .last accounts these delegats-at-large in Massachusetts were still singing: "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." THEY had a desperate bombardment in the Dardanelles and one soldier was killed. Probably died of ennui

THE TIMES.

I THE HON. Willum Jennings Bryan is In our midst to tell how they kidnaped his policies. YOU can bet your boots that the history of the sugar trust probe will be no sweet story. NOTICE that the fight lid has been nailed down In Lake county, but It -will be up before long with both the lid and nails stolen. . MATOR "WOSZCZYNSKI of West Hammond has a scrap on with Joe Belinfki and Aldermen Mike Modrejewkl, Alex Kowalski, Joe Wierevewskl and John Jaranowskl have a hand In it. We merely write this to make the proofreader sore. , , "ALDERMEN dilly dally with Baldwin company." Times headlines. Now, you East Chicago statesmen quit kickin' our Baldwin around HOLY smoke! The hot summer coming on and congress starting out to -have a tussle with the tariff again. NO sooner does a. man amount to something than somebody is always there to exclaim, "Why. I knew him when he was driving a grocery wagon or was a reporter, or was an alderman, etc. "NEURASTHENIC admixture of psychriatic synthesis" Is no astronomical term, but merely the most polished way htzzoner, the mayor of Gary, the Hon. Tom Ephraim Knotts, has of expressing his opinion of the Hon. Gumshoe" Bill Crolius. OU-R special correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle, who has been sojourning down at Miller for the past two days sent In a weird account this morning about Judge Westergren crossing the huge Miller mosquitoes with the native fish. The result Is that the fish bite at every opportunity and the fishing Is great. THERE was a bishop in Indiana Harbor on Friday so this accounts for its extraordinary piety on that day. LONLON sports rave taken up the fad of wearing soft black shirts. At first thought you would think that they are gettlnp econmlcal. but then you must remember that laundrymen are Just as ferocious the world over and the chances are his majesty's subjects finally lost their tempers when they lost collars and cuffs. NOW days you can figure that a corporation isn't very big unless IU Is Indicted twice a year. CONCURRENT with the statement that Indiana had more mortgages than ever filed last year comes the news that during the same perlor more autos were sold than ever before. THIS is the time of the year when the high school student starts to write out his farewell essay. Hope that he tor she) don't infuse too many farewells into it. ... ..j. .

Mm. Navratil and sons, Lola and Monon. New York, May 20. Lola and Monon, the two little waifs of the Titanic, who were rescued from the sea to remain a month in a strange land, motherless, and with no one to know the pet names that would open their hearts, have a mother again. She is Mme. Marcelle Navratil, a young Italian woman, and she arrived in New Tork on May 16. The reunion made a beautiful picture; the mother kneeling with the two little boys in her arms, their he-ads on her shoulders, her tears streaming amid their curls. The reunion was dramatic in Its simplicity. Mme. Navratil hurried to the rooms of the Children's Society immediately upon landing. A door to the children's room opened and the young mother, who had crossed over the sea to claim what providence had spared from the dark disaster in the ice fields, knelt and called In a whisper: "Mes enfants mes petitsl" Two round, black, curly heads were nestled against her bosom and little Lola and Monon were no longer motherless. Their loneliness was over. Mme. Navratil traveled alone In the second cabin of the Oceanic. She had come after photographs of the two little strays, forwarded from this country, had been shown her in her home at Nice. She was met by Miss Margaret Hays, who had gone through the Titanic horror, and aboard the Carpathia and claimed the little boys for keeping.

When the office of County Clerk John Rauch closed at 6 o'clock last Thursday evening, at Indianapolis, 101 men had requested that their names be' printed on the ballots to be used at the primary election next week. Of that number ,62 were Democrats and 39 Republicans. I The "copy" for the ballots was sub-' mltted to the -printers Thursday night and Friday morning the presses start ed on the work of printing 100,000 ballots. , Watchers from each paxty were present to see that every ballot Is printed perfectly and any mutilated ones destroyed. They will continue their watch night and day until tha election Inspectors from each precinct get their supplies. DAY IN JAIL FOR EACH CENT." A new rule of conduct has been adopted by Judge Frank Feely of Muncie for his court in the trial of, petit larceny cases." In brief. It is that' for every cent of value of the article stolen one day in jail must be served by the convicted man. George Haley was the first victim of the rule when he was arraigned yesterday on a charge of steaoling a pair of shoes and selling them for 50 cents. "Fifty cents was the value of the. shoes?" the court Inquired. "Yes, sir," the arresting policeman replied. "That means fifty days," said the court, and Haley was led away. SEEK FORMER POLICEMAN. Charles R. Elliot, colored, aformeri member of the . Indianapolis police force, is being sought by Peru authorities for the shooting of William Wilklns, 40 years old, also colored. The two men met in a hall of the Barres Hotel and Elliott Immediately began ehootln. Wllkins accused Elliot of too much familiarity with his wife. COURT NAMES RETCEIVER. j G. A. Ellano was named by Judge W. A. Fun in the Circuit Court at South Bend to act as receiver for the! Peat Products Company upjon the petition of William G. Young. The plaintiff alleged his belief that the compny was preparing to transfer all the holdings to the Peat-Humes Company, a concern said to be composed of th-? tame principal stockholders. The

Peat Products Company has an authorised capital of $1,500,000. DOG SCARE HASTENS ADOPTION. Before going to Indianapolis to obtain treatment for the bite of a mad dog. Mr. and Mrs. John N. Smth adopted Miss Carmolette Pitttnger, age fifteen, of Lebanon. , All were bitten by the dog, and Immediately after the papers of adoption were made out and signed they left for Indianapolis. Miss Plttinger was reared by the Smiths, who are worth about fifteen thousand dollars, and it was their desire to have a legal heir in the event they did not yield to treatment and died of rabies. It had been their Intention to adopt the girl, but the mad dog hastened their act. VIGO PLAN IREGIXAR. John G. Bryson, Fifth district Republican chairman, at Brazil, has received word from State Chairman Sims that the mass convention called in Vigo county to select delegates to. the district convention is irregular and not in accord, with the rules adopted by the state central committee. The mass convention is called to meet in a room with a capacity of three ' hundred, while there are nineteen thousand Republican voters In Vigo county. Other counties of the Fifth district are protesting against the plan, which.

i is alleged, is a scheme of the friends of Felix Blankbenbaker to give him the entire vote of Vigo county. The state rules set out that no mass convention can be held in counties which have cities of more than five thousand inhabitants. I LABOR NEWS Women take the place of newsboys in many of the streets of Spanish towns. The number of wage earners in the United States has increased 40.4 per cent since 1899. - The Hotel and Restaurant Employes and Bartenders' 'League Is prosecuting a 'vigorous campaign to increase the membership to 100,000. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers intends to organize the motorman of the Interborough subway and elevated lines of New York city. Minnesota unionists will demand that the next state legislature adopt a law restricting the hours of labor in the state prison at Stillwater to eight hours a day. The California Drug Clerks' association enjoys the distinction of being the only pharmaceutical organization in the United States maintaining a sick and death benefit fund. The recent " strike of grave diggers at the Glasgow (Scotland) cemeteries was settled and the men returned to work, after the companies had conceded to them an increase of 1 shilling a week. A bill providing for an eight-hour day has been passed by the French chamber of deputies. This action, it is believed, will have the effect of forestalling a general strike In that country. - At the end of 1910 there were 669 registered trade unions, in the United Kingdom, with a membership of above 12,000,000. These totals compare with a membership of 211,091 In 166 unions in 1880. More than 80.000 railroad employes are killed or injured in the United States in a year. Every six minutes, day and night, a railroad employe is killed or injured, and every two hours

one is killed. British trade unions gained but 16,000 members, or less than 1 per cent during the three years 1908-1910. The income of the hundred principal unions reached a total of $40,005,000, and expenditudes exceeded the income by $2,610,000. Strike pay amounted to $5,600,000. . . ..
