THE TIMES. ji-
The Stroller
And What He Found in the Ginger Jar
Waited for the Times Extras. Hammond stayed up Saturday night to wait for The Times extras which the city has learned to expect on tue occasion of an Important event such as the democratic primaries happened to be this year. Knowing- that by the outcome of the primaries the campaign of other parties! would in a way be decided the interest was abnormal. The newness of the primaries in the city had a tendency to stimulate interest also and the bitter campaign between Mayor Smalley's friends and Pr. Howatt's supporters added to this.

Colored Folk Hold Interesting Services. A trio of colored folks held evangelical services In Central Park yesterday attracting a shifting' audience of over a hundred. The meeting was odd and consisted mostly of rag time hymns. The darkles could not help but syncopate their songs much in the manner fo the down sooth revivalists at the old time camp meeting. The preacher of the party was arrayed in a Prince Albert of somber shade. He was very tall, stooped and emotional.

Jovial Doctor Has Relative Guest. When Pr. J. T. Clark arose this morning he put on his best tailored suit and hurried down toa barber shop to be shaved, shampooed and dolled up.

Eagles' Picnic Was a Success. A badger fight, foot races, boating and dancing entertained hundreds at Kindel's grove Sunday during ttne afternoon and evening outing of the Eagles. Only three hundred were there at six o'rlock and by eight the park was Jommed. Hundreds came from Lake Front Park where they had spent the afternoon. The annual picnic of the Eagles was never a greater success.
Wanted to Kiss the Barber Pole. A man of affectionate disposition undertook to embrace a barber pole in front of Oscth Plageman's barber shop on Hohman street last Sunday evening. He neglected to test the pole first to see if it was fastened to the sidewalk or not. This he discovered too late when the upright crashed through the plate glass window of the shop doing a $40 damage. Two policemen
As a daddy at large who governs an

principals of business methods. Not realizing his Influence his usefulness
is great.
Never has a small boy earning his
first dollars and learning his first lesson looked upon Pierce as other than Pierce, the circulation manager, the
one to whom they must look for re
primands in case of negligence and words of appreciation when their work
has been well done. His authority they never underes
timate for they are placed on a sort of business equality with the other employees, they are made to understand that THE Times Is their paper and that its interests are their Interests. The School of HuKlnen. . And so In rain or snow they labor

Woe to the boy who is lazy, neglectful or shows not the right attitude. Without a sign or regret he Is parted from his Job and indelible lesson imprinted on his mind, the lesson of inefficiency and the inevitable result. Therefor it does not seem irregular that a reporter in search of a human interest interview should cross the city room and draw the Rttentlon of Pierce from his work. It required tact however for had the stern manager of circulation guessed his intent the interview would have been short and to the point. But it is unusual to write about
fellow workmen and Pierce never sus
pected. That makes this an unusual in
terview in two senses of the word. THK TIMES In BO Towns.
"The Times goes to 60 Lake County
cities, towns, villages and hamlets each
delivered by carrier,"
Pierce, "arfl I am proud to
say that the complaints from all of
these places average two a day and no
more. That is because I refuse to toler
ate Inferior work and have system-
iaed the county so that every boy is di
rectly responsible and knows that any
lavits' will be reported at once and that
his place can be. easily filled.
"In Hammond The Times goes Into 4.500 homes to be heard by at least three times that many people. Law
yers depend on it for information and arrange their calendars by it, society abides by its reports, business men use It as their medium of advertising, big
manufacturers depend upon it as their agent in the Calumet region, housewives look to it as a market guide, and
most of all everybody takes it that they may know the news and be posted. It la a Public Utility. "In other words the people have intrusted their affairs with it as a public utility and it is of, by and for them, that The Times Is what it is. The paper enters into a contract with the public to furnish it the news of the day and the circulation of the paper is a part of this contract, a big part too. Little by little this information was brought out by persistent questioning. Mr. Pierce gave the names of the falth-
f ul and efficient' newsboys in the city
of Hammond that carry The Times to
4,500 subscribers as follows:
