SUNSHINE CLARA.
A waitress in an Indiana Harbor cafe made herself so agreeable to the patrons of the establishment by her
pleasing ways and charming manner
that when she was missing one day,
they stormed the proprietor and wondered where she was. The food
they ate did not seem to have the
same savor when the sunshine wait ress was absent.
Their inquiries brought forth the intelligence that the girl was in the
hospital gravely afflicted and sent
enced to an operation. In a jiffy hundreds of dollars were raised to give her the best care and attention
that money could buy. Flowers and
other things loved by sick people
were sent her. Anxious friends call
ed up the hospital for news of the
operation.
There is no need to dig up any long
preachy moral. She was a poor girl
She was a waitress, but she was how
ever a human flower that radiated
beauty and sunshine. She reflected

Did it ever occur to you that the

ments made practicable through our
profession.
BET you that if any one dared to tell the Hon. Bill Gleason that the practice of medicine made the Gary

MODEST VIOLETS. From time to time THE TIMES receives self-written pages of laudatory accounts of various office holders and those who seek office. This much Is
to be expected of some men of this
calibre.
But the new Congressional Direc
tory, which contains the autobiographies of members of both houses, shows that the house and senate of
the United States have members who
have nothing on a county candidate
or an Arkansas legislator.
Take this self-drawn portrait of the
Hon. William Howard Thompson,
senator from the great commonwealth
of Kansas:
He is the youngest Senator ever elected from Kansas and will be one of the youngest now In the, Senate;has been very active In the affairs of the State from early manhood to the present time, filling various positions of honor and trust with the strictest honesty and fidelity. It la acknowledged by all who know him that as Senator he will not only bring credit and honor to himself but to the State and nation as well. And what many details Mr. Laffer
ty of Oregon writes of himself and of
his kin! Read:
His brother Holla served in the provisional . volunteers . in the Philippines, enlisting when he was 17 and coming out with the rank of corporal; maternal grandmother was Mary Ann Gunn of North Carolina, and his paternal grandmother was Hester Ann Martin of Kentucky: his great-grandmother Kinney was Eleanor Pierce.
