DIDNT Tim Englehart get to the Jackson day banquet. There wasn't any mention of a golden brown sun kissed, dress suit anyway. THE NEW TEAK. To the cycle of time another year tonight Is added; out of the endless future a new one approaches. You feel the spell of the moment. A thought takes hold of you and on the eve of the event, you pause to reflect. Were It not for our own feeble efforts in signaling the hour with time-honored customs, the old would slip away like the sunset beyond the hills, and the new approach as the morning. As the bells ring tonight, while listening with the ear look with the eye of imagination. Three hundred and Blxty-six days rolled Into a ragged and tattered gorge of activity splash Into the inky pool of oblivion. Their course may be followed by the bright light of worthy achievement. While your eyes are yet dazzled, your ear perceives the gentle approach of the new year tripping like a fairy with a nosegay of hopes for each of u. Tonight we are mariners on the sea of time studying the compass for our bearings by the star of Success. . Where is your port? Ours is Happiness, and our wish is that all might be fellow travelers and reach port in 1913. HEART of man in Bellvue hospital was found to be on the right side. Well that's where it ought to be this week and this time of the year. THEY are now asking the old question, "Shall woman propose?" Well they only have a few moments left so for pity's sake hurry girls. A BEGGAR OR A KING. mere is an empire of tbe mind, a monarchy of the body, a kingdom of the soul, in which the title of royalty Is not hereditary. Here is the question whether one will become a beggar or a king is on the answer to which depends not upon the decree of chance or fortunate birth, but up

Joasnla Miller. on laws as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and , Persians, as Immutable and inflexible as the physi cal rules that hold the stars in their course and regulate the majestic harmony of the universe. To be an intellectual king is not a matter of border or breed or birth, of accident or of prince's favor, but a consideration of absolute irrevoca ble law, of value received and prices paid, of positive effort and of sure re ward. It requires not effort to become an ordinary kind. If one is born that way, he cant help it. He can help it if he is born a king, and no man can become a king unless he Is born so. It is a matter of lineage. Will you be a beggar or a king? The answer lies within you, not without. It Is found in the mind not the genealogy table. It Is regulated by certainty, not by chance. No Damoclean hair suspends the sword ot fate above you for you are fate. Your decree is absolute in all matters pertaining to your own mind and soul. You are master, pilot, commander, manager, shepherd, director, lord and controller that is you can if you will. HAPPY New Year's it's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear. , We forgot to ask you if you got any presents with the price marks left on. VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN GARY. Vocational training in the Gary schools has resulted in a profit instead of a deficit. . Dr. P. P. Claxton," United States commissioner ot education, in a statement covering the work in the schools of the Indiana steel city, says that when the school authorities there came to sum up the results In the trade courses they found the three departments of printing, cabinet work and painting had made an Interesting showing ou the credit sWe. Dr. Claxton says that the pupils made . articles that were needed in the schools. If these supplies had not been made in the school shops, he declares, the authorities would have had to make purchases in the open market at a total of probably $8,000

With these made by the school shops a balance is shown of f875.48; that is, by -entering each, article at the

probable competitive price a credit of the amount quoted la Indicated. The commissioner then give figures for each of the trade classes in the Gary schools. For instance, in the printing department the value of the work produced was $1,972.92. The salary expense was $1,483.49, and the supplies cost $314, leaving a net balance in favor of the shop ot $175.43. The commissioner shows that there were 35 in the printing class, and says that instead ot figuring the per capita cost of the industrial training of these pupils it was possible to figure a definite contribution by each pupil to the wealth of the community. In the other departments figures ot similar import are presented. Dr. Claxton, in concluding his statement, says that Gary's "conspicuous success with industrial tariaing is an interesting indication ot the spread of the modern movement for vocational education. He also sizes up the basic reason for vocational training as an insistence that in addition to teaching the recognised branches the school must give instruction in those subjects that are of omst immediate value to the community which supports it. The results which are shown in the official report and which are of such importance as to call for a special statement from the head of the federal department of education are particularly Interesting in any city in which the subject of vocational training in its entirety la being con sidered. Such is the case in South Bend. While advance has been made in manual training, while the results have been most gratifying, the subject, in its broader aspects, is now being discussed with the pros pects good for early adoption. The statement of Dr. Claxton In regard to Gary might well, it seems to us, have given credit to the man who is responsible for the showing made, Prof. W. A. Wirt, superintendent of the Gary schools, is one of the pioneers, in Indiana at any rate In vocational training. His highly successful efforts in Gary are not his first along the same line, al though the plan, followed there is much more comprehensive and de cidedly more advanced than was the earlier one in the Bluffton schools. - South Bend Tribune. A COURT has ruled that a wife does not constitute a family. Lot of 'em will want to take this to a higher court for some wives certain ly do. IN England every inhabitant in the kingdom receives seventy letters per year. Wonder if this includes the coal and grocery bills. ' HEAR THE BELLS JINGLE. Our esteemed neighbor, the Calumet Record, proudly proclaims at the top of its editorial mast-head that it is a member of the following learned societies: Greater Chicago Federation. Calumet Deep Waterway Associa tion. Federation of South End Civic Bodies. Chicago Association of Commerce, Press Club of Chicago. . South End Business Men's Associa tion. South Chicago Business Men's As sociatlon. South Shore Improvement Club. Cheltenham Improvement Associa tion. Permanent International Associa tion of Navigation Congresses. National Rivers and Harbors Con gress. Lake Michigan Sanitary Ass'n. Western Society of Engineers. Michigan-Erie Deep Waterway As sociation. Lake to the Gulf Deep Waterway Association. Cook County Press Club. The inference Is that the editor of the Calumet Record is also a Mason a Moose, an Elk, an Oddfellow, an Owl, a Woodman, an Eagle, and a Redman in good standing. Arrayed In all of his society and lodge medals Editor Lee should look like a cross between an Indiana politician running for sheriff and a Montenegrin ambassador extraordinary garbed for a Spanish fandango.' AN eccentric Valparaiso sign painter declared legally dead two years ago has been found in Indianapolis. If he was legally dead in Indianapolis what was he in Valparaiso? A MAGAZINE writer says that he does not believe in a material hell. Evidently has never been stuck between Schererville and Highland In a snowstorm with two blowouts and only one cylinder hitting.

DISCORDANT OUTLOOK. "Strength," says Dr. Lyman Ab bott, "comes from silence, not from noise.' We have been under the Im pression right along that Mr. Roosevelt had returned to his desk on the Outlook but this expression or hint from Doc, Abbot doesn't seem to so indicate. FITTING THE CRIME. Louis Kallskl, Magistrate Marsh held Mrs. Annie 'Stack in $1,000 for stealing front of a Staten Island house the day before Christmas. The woman had gone hungry for days. Her feet were exposed to the snow, through which she had waded an hour or more, before she found a house where food had been left at the door, and a thin shawl did not prevent her from shivering In the cold wind. Daily papers, December 25. old, treasurer of a twenty-six years theatre on Eighth avenue, was sen tenced to pay a fine of $250 or go to jail for ninety days on each of two charges in Special Sessions. The charges made by the complainant, a girl fifteen years old, , were assault and Im pairing the morals of a minor. Justice Stel nert pronounced sentence. It certainly is a great old world. No wonder some people scorn justice and law and order. By the way in view of the above. is there any such a thing as justice on this earth? IF old Battleaxe Castleman doesn't stop trying to get in again, we shall have to refer him to the Hague peace tribunal. . , THE water wagon doesnf give as much promise of being loaded this year as in days gone by. LAW IS NOT DEAD. Announcement of the verdict in the dynamite trials In Indianapolis canhot fail of creating profound sensation. Thirty-eight of the forty, labor leaders were found guilty of trans porting dynamite and being concern ed in many outrages, including the destruction of the Los Angeles Time3 building, with Its heavy loss of life. It has been a long and patient hearing, commencing October 1 last, two years after the Los Angeles ex plosion, the Jury getting the case De cember 26. The punishment meted out to , the McNamaras, generally considered too slight, and recent talk of pardon and commutation for taem, will natural ly be recalled by these verdicts. As results of the trials the people will be reassured that the law still possesses a long arm and labor organizations see the necessity for cleaning house of those elements that disgrace them. THE suffragette army finally reached Albany in time to celebrate New Years and put some arnica on the commanding general's blistered heel. " THESE professors that read hands are not half so useful in the long run as the professors that put the feet in shape. WE HAVE ARRIVED. .It Is noticed that the Iconoclasts have been at It again. Now say that Christopher Columbus was a faker and that maps dating back to 1414, before Columbus was born, show Cuba and part of Florida. Further, that these coasts , were known to the Portuguese, Spaniards and Italians before Columbus' time, and their earlier discovery is at tributed to the Atlantic currents which set in past, the Azores and would - have swept, a vessel to the shores of Cuba or Florida. Well what of It all we certainly have arrived anywhere and accord ing to all signs are here to stay. HAVE you been up to see Mary Garden's twenty pounds of lost flesh or lost twenty pounds of flesh or well have you? Neither have we. PETER SHOULD EXPLAIN. THE TIMES is in receipt of some rather startling literature which ac cuses Peter Kruyer, of Plymouth, with being a crook, the literature presumably being circulated by his rivals for the position of internal revenue collector. As the Fort Wayne News says perhaps the allegations are true, but if they are those making them should stand behind them with their names instead of committing them to a cross-roads newspaper for publication and dis tribution. If Kruyer is a dishonest man he should not be appointed revenue collector or anything else, but the public would prefer to see him proved a crook by direct methods.

"I mean, what I like I like so much more than I dislike wiat I don't like. Tou know very well what I mean." SEEING that they rigged up such a nice birthday home-coming party for Woodrow, why can't we have a similar one for the Hon. Tommy Marshall.

(Chicago Tribune dispatch.) Antigua, Guatemala, Dec. ( 28. Special. You have probably never heard of Antigua. Nevertheless it was long one of the great cities ot the North American continent. You see Indians everywhere, and Indian babies swarm. Nearly every women has a baby at her breast or on her back, and the boys and girls go along with babies hung to their . backs as they do in Japan JAMES J.

He has all of the plcturesquenens nec essary and he can take a goodly com pany of assistants along with him. DOCUMENT waritten in 1712 discov ered in Massachusetts the other day. Probably it is the first kick by antedeluvian Hammond natives against the Erie depot. WHAT'S become of the old-fashioned man that used to go to church and drop a dollar bill in the collection box ev ery Sunday? :r ' YE3, and what has become of the old-fashioned preacher who wasn't so lazy that he couldn't send in his Sun day church notices to the papers? IT was awfully rude on the part of Governor Marshall to fill all of the va-. cancies in state offices Just as the Hon. Sam Ralston is about to step Into his shoes. IN chronicling the notable local events of 1912 it must not be forgotten that once during this year a Wabash and an Erie train came in on time.

Montgomery and his wife former ly lived at Poseyville but some time ago were separated and the court in granting the divorce, awarded the custoday of their son, who was about 8 years old, to the mother, with the pro vlso that the father could see the child during certain months of the year but must not remove him from the county.
