ES. ISABEL GARGIHL.Ii BEECHER, -who will appear on tbe Chan-
taoqua program bera In interpretatlTe readings, is America' greatest
woman Interpreter. Nothing In commendation of tier work could bo
better tnan tbe following from some of tbe world's most famous peo-
pte. Tbe late United States Senator Dolllver said this: "Mrs. Beecner has
don more to giro life to tbe art i public reading tban any of onr present day elocutionists. Her art baa cbarsa and a fascination beyond tbe genius of either
tbe platform or tbe stage today." John Temple Graves bas said, "She is with
oat a superior and scarcely an equal among tbe brilliant group of American
men and women wbo interpret tbe world's great writers." In speaking of Mrs. Beechers work Dr. Charles S1. Aked, pastor of the Fifth Arenue Baptist cbcrch, Mew York, made tbls comment: "I bare heard nothing so perfect at
yoor reading on either side of tbe Atlantic. Ton have before yon a grreat career and an international reputation. Zoo bare genius, and genius of tbe high
est order. It Is Impossible not to enry 70a tbe mastery of so divine an art,"
AN UNAUTHORIZED INTERVIEW WITH THE OLDEST POLITICI
AN
About People
Some Chats With Folks On Things of Interest
Being a diplomat it would not be diplomatic for John F, Krot, school trustee, to admit that he is a diplomat. Therefore it is without his consent that this political interview ia published for as Krost is a politician it would not be good politics for him to admit that he is a politician. Nevertheless he is. Though he deny it with all the eloquence at his command the fact remains that ilr. Krost ia the oldest living- politician in Hammond as well as one of the most prolific Office holders. He has held every city job from his present one on the board of education to constable, back In 1890. He began being a.politician before sidewalks were conceived of and when "sockless" campaigns were in order. Then a candidate was compelled to pull up. his trouser'a leg when he sat down on the platform to prove to the audience that he did not wear socks. Ia Still Poor.
As justice of the peace, water com
missioner, post master, county record
r, constable, councilman, member
board of education, etc., etc., John F. Knost was a success and he has em
rged from the whole with an honor
able name, minus the usual fortunes
that habitual office holders ofttimea accumulate. "I'm out of it now," he said, "and I intend to stay away but it's an awful hard thing to overcome the fever. Men will leave their busi
ness to run for office, time after time.
They like the aport, it a mania with
them. So when you see a fellow getting up In the middle of the night to shake hands with workmen and request their vote, be charitable. He
can't help it." Ia la Too Karly. One other honor belongs to Krost. He is the oldest office-holding Democrat around these parts and his views on the 1913 mayoralty race as well as the campaign in general are worth having. If you ask him he will tell you that ha Is pleased with the entrants and though he has a favorite he believes it the duty of democrats to support the man that wins in the primaries although they may have worked tooth and nail against him before. His only regret is that the primaries are being held so early in the game. "I believe in whirl-wind campaigns," he said. "When the other fellows go stale you can get in with a "hip-hooray Boys" and take it away from them nine chances out of ten."
Hammond is once more to the front
with a celebrity, this time with a youthful prodigy in the person of Master Henry "William Benadom. the son
Of Dr. V. A! Benadon now of Daven
port, la., little Henry was born here on the 17th of February, 1910, and consequently is not yet three years of age. The precocity of the youth and the skill he exhibits as an anatomist
not only excites the interest of the laity but is the wonder of the medical world as well.
Leonard Kogeler, the Hammond
barber is an uncle of Master Henry and the late Oscar Kogler was his
father. His mother was formerly Oussle Kogler and so the prococious youth has a wide circle of admirers..
He is not in Hammond at present.
"At an age at which most boys can
scarcelytalk it is astounding to hear
his baby lips glibly name the organs.
muscles and hones of the human body" said Dr. J. T. Clark, a friend of the family this morning. "He is a fun loving youth and for his age is as
healthy and sturdy a speciman of the
human species as one could well wish
to see. He shows no indications of forcing or of mind strain and is an apt and attractive student in his father's office, apparently deriving as much
pleasure from his lessons as his father
does in coaching." Famt Is Spreading;.
Master Henry a picture appears In a
medical journal this month together
with a short account of his achieve
ments. From the time he waa old
enough to d'stingulsh on object from another he has showed a marked preference for surgical instruments and
medicine bottles rather than the toys
tots of his tender age naturally se lect.
"Wish you could see this little son
of ours, he is a little wonder," writes
Dr. and Mrs. Denadom to Hammond
friends. "He is an expert in the use of
the telescope, it is amusing to see him,

ing the heart and lungs of his little
sister. His knowledge of medicine in
the treatment of diseases and his appll cation of dressings for cuts, burns, bru ises, old indolent ulcers, scalds, and In fecyious wounds, is truly remarkable.
All agree that he is the Champion
Boy Anatomist in World. He has of fers to go into vaudeville.

MR. BUSINESS MAN:
THERE is no longer any question about the value of Times' Advertising. With a circulation that reaches almost every home in the cities of Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, an advertisement in its columns gets results. These results are money for the business man. In a hundred ways this has has been demonstrated within the past few months. The business men in the Calumet region who are making good are the business men who advertise in the Times; the real estate men who are making money are the real estate men who advertise in the Times. It is a live newspaper published with out fear or favor, enjoys the confidence of the people. It is one of the great upbuilders of .the Calumet region. It is helping to make it a region of progress, of pretty homes, of modern methods. It is entitled to the support of those who believe in the Calumet
Region.
