THEODORE V. FREEBIRY. HYMN TO THE MGHT. I heard the trailing garments of the Mtfkt Sweep through her marble halls. I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light Prom the celestial walla! I felt her presence, by lta apell of might, Stoop o'er me from above The calm, majestic presence of the Mght, As of the one I love. I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight. The manifold, aoft chimes. That fill the haunted chambers of the Mght, Like some old poet's rhymes. From the cool clnterns of the midnight air My spirit drank reposes The fountain of perpetual peace flows there From those deep cisterns flows. O holy Night from thee I learn to bear What man has borne before! Thou layeat thy fingers oa the Hps of care And they complain no more. Peace! Peace Oresteslike I breathe thla prayer! Descend with broad-wlaged flight. The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fsir. The best-loved Night! Henry 'Wads-worth Longfellow, TIME WORKS WONDERS.

We feel quite confident that some" of. those Wellesley lassies will just leap at the opportunity to get a half-Nelson on a $1,200 chap before they are through with the mad race for a man. SYMPATHETIC VIBRATION. This is the name given by William Hawley Smith to a simple and there fore remarkable theory of the mind' action. Its principle is that of the wireless telegraph. Strike a tuning-fork in one end of a room, and if a fork in the othe end is of the same pitch It will re spond instantly but not unless it i3 f the same pitch. Start a magnetic vibration in Marconi wireless apparatus, and an other apparatus a thousand mile? way, will catch the vibrations and report them. You may pound upon a wireless till you burst the atmosphere and you will get no vibration unless a cor responding instrument is in exist ence; but if it does you are as certain to get a thrilling response as though the two machines were friends speaking In the same room. The selection of an occupation In life is not hard when common ense is used in selection one to which you vibrate. If you sound a tuning-fork that has the pitch of A, and get no response, try B and C and D, and so on until the tremble of a vital Inter est and 'thrills you through and through. Then stop, you are on holy ground. You have found what you can do. All of which is fully set forth in the most wonderful educational book of the century "All the Children of All the People" by the philosopher and teacher Wm. Hawley Smith. SEE IF THEY DON'T. Awell known society woman ex presses the hope that the day will come when it will be Just as bad form to drink a second cocktail as to take a second plate of soup.

Undeniably, there is much doubt about the future in many cities. Men of affairs know that the state of the market for securities must sooner or later have Borne effect upon the volume of trade, and the conditions in Washington which alarm many In vestors are disquieting, of course, to business men in all sections. But the country is also greatly impresed with the evidence of general pros perity and progress which appear to be ignored, in large measure, in New YorkThe best authorities In the world of commerce and productive industry cannot forget that the crops are promising a great yield .that the basic elements of wealth-production and national growth and success are no less abundant than they were week3 or months ago ,and that any check in speculation and building for the future, on a large scale, will be followed by a vast accumulation of capital seeking employment. Foreign trade, also, is bigger and better than ever. In a situation so mixed every day's developments will be watched care fully, but the general business of the American people is not to be gauged by the course of prices on the New York Stock Exchange.

Fifty of the candi dates were obviously unfitted an about 25 were tested before one com petent worker was secured." This and similar experiences ha led somebody in the company to make a special study or tne amount or effort it required to get competent "help." Mr. Luddington described the situation thus: "To fill the position of correspondent it is necessary for the Curtis Publishing company to interview from 10 to 50 persons; to find a stenographer, 15 to 20; a typist, 2a to 50;. a nigh-

THE POLICE PROBE. At the instance of Alderman W. S Feuer, democrat, the Gary common council has passed a resolution pro viding for a probe into the notorious activity of the Gary safety board and police department during the recent democratic "primaries." This is a step in the right direction and what ever evidence the probers get ought to be turned over to the next grand jury. The committee will undoubtedly find that the police worked under orders. It will also probably find that the men of the department were forced to choose between breaking the law and running the risk of going to jail or being separated from their positions.

(This is the first of a series of three rticles telling the story of the battle of Gettysburg. Public interest in this greatest battle of the civil war is now high, owing to the fact that a great reunion of northern and southern veterans of the war is to be held July 1-4 on the old battlefield. The Editor.) ABO BOUT the middle of 1863 the opes of the southern Confeder acy reached the highest point. Lee had just administered a crushing defeat to the Army of the Potomac at Chancellorsville, and the memory of Fredericksburg was still fresh. The Army of the Potomac, the flower of the northern forces, had met with discouragement on every hand. It was realized In the south that if Lee could win a great victory above the Mason and Dixon's line, recognition and perhaps financial assistance coul dbe secured from the nations of Europe. The north m'ould be discour aged, and possibly Washington Itself could be taken. Public opinion w unanimous in demanding an invasion of northern soil. Up and Down in INDIANA FARMERS TO ORGANIZE. The Shelby County Better Farming Association was formed yesterday at the City Hall to raise the $500 necessary to make application for a county vocational agent under the new law. Edward Moberly was elected president. Maurice Douglass vlco president, John Pay DePre secretary, and Senator Will Yarllng treasurer. Committees of three for each, of the fourteen townships were named and another meet ing will be held next Saturday to see what progress has been made by them In raising the necessary $500.

The long-continued drought in this section near Bhelburn has wrought great damage to growing crops. Meadows have become so dry that several acres have been burned over along the railroad right of way, being fired by sparks from passing locomotive. Farmers predict that the oats crop is almost a total failure and that corn will be greatly damaged if the drought continues much longer. PAYS ST,425 FOR TIMBEH. In addition to buying the Makemson traot of black walnut timber near Danville, III.,, for $65,703.68, the Sanders and Egbert Company of Goshen and South Bend bought oak and hickory on the Makemson SOO-acre farm for $21.722.50. The purchases were by competitive bids and a firm tn Germany bid on the walnut. The select walnut logs will be exported. All the oak and hickory will be shipper to the Goshen and South Bend mills. It is estimated that It will take three years to cut the trees, which number nearly 2,000.

ATEST BATTLE AND THE T DAY'S ENGAGEMENT. F

' aar.' 1 v X This was the situation In June, 1863, when Lee with a splendid army of 59,000 veterans crossed the Potomac. His objestlve point was Harrlsburg, Pa. His army was organized'ln three corps under the respective commands of Longstreet. Ewell and A. P. Hill. He had planned on dividing his army so as to approach Harrlsburg by different routes and assess all the towns along the way for large sums of money. This plan, however, was abandoned when he learned that the Army of the Potomac under General Hooker, was In hot pursuit. It soon became evident that the greatest battle of the civil war was at hand. Hooker, with a force of 77.000 men, was determimcl to crush Lee, who led the finest army of the south. On the 28th of June, Hooker, after a dispute with Halleck, resigned his leadership and General George Gordon Meade, the strongest of the corps com manders, assumed command. At this time the northern and southern armies were scattered over a large part of southern Pennsylvania and Maryland. The new commander of the Army of the Potomac kept his forces interposed between Lee and the Federal capital. On June 30 General Buford with four thousand cavalry was sent to intercept the Confederate advance guard in the vicinity of Gettysbury, a quiet little village in southeastern Pennsylvania. On the morning of July 1 the two armies were still scattered, the extremes being forty miles apart. But General Reynolds, with two corps of the Union army, was but a few miles away to the east and hastening toward Gettysburg. From the opposite direc tion came Longstreet . and H1U with their forces. Three hours before noon the greatest battle ever fought on the western hemisphere was In progress. The battle had proceeded not more

! 1 jWwiiin.;nniininrt than an hour before General Reynolds, one of the ablest and bravest of the northern leaders, lay dead on the field with a sharpshooter's bullet in his brain. But the battle continued with unabated fury. Both sides were great ly re-enforced, and the battle Una extended north of the town from Seminary Ridge to the bank of R6ck Creek, which flowed a mile and a half to the south of Gettysburg. The carnage wu appalling. Finally, about the middle of the afternoon. General Carl Schurz, who succeeded General Reynolds In command, retreated toward Cemetery Hill, Just west of Oetysburg, leaving nearly half of his men dead or wounded on the field. In passing through the town, the Confederates pursued and captured a large number of the remainder. The left wing, now unable to hold Its position owing to the retreat of the right, was also forced back, and it .too, took refuge on Ceme tery Hill. The first day's fight was over. The Federelas had lost 10,000 men and were disorganized and discouraged. Had this been known to the Confederates, they might have 'pursued and captured a large part of the1 Union army. Between three and four o'clock In the afternoon, however, General Hancock arrived. His presence inspired confidence and renewed hope in the ranks of the Federals. Meade reached tba scene late at night, and chose to make the field the place of a general engagement. Lee had come to the same decision and was calling all his legions to come with all possible speed to Gettysburg. Every one realized that the decisive battle of the civil war was In progress. The people of the north and south waited with breathless eagerness for Its outcome. ..3 4 V ; ... 4 1 r 7 1 rt , V t
