It is Impossible of courpe for mortals to tatijom whs- go good and tteruns a. man shoulJ be Called in the prime of his life when others let-s worthy live en and on. lie win be missed in a great many circles, his death regretted by a host of friends and admirers. No man could be associated long with John 0. Smalley without wanting to bo his friend; no man 'ould know him without admiring him. We have yet o hear cf a man who ever beard Jchn speak ill of ny one and this is much to eay for in the heat of political flht3 it is ha id for a man to ltfrain from speaking 111 of those who wrong him and are his enecniee. lie was the peraonificatlcn c-f kindliness and courtliness. If he could oblige any one it made him nappy and of how many men can you 3ay that truthfully. He was one of the best mayors that Hammond ter had and piloted the municipality when the piloting was hard. H passed through bitter political fight but never lost his geniality and his kindliness. He won laurels for the performance of his duties as city controller by bankers and business men. lie was as honest as the day is long and as tincere an official as ever Jived. And so Jchn D. Smaliey goes to his long rest, mourned widely and honored much. lie filled splendidly a niche In Hammond's history all respect to his name. His grieving widow and son and rhs wide circle cf friends, fraternal and otherwise, c:: n treasure his memory.

velops the world. Or they may address theinselven to the long-poatponed tasks of clipping recipea and what not from pile of accumulated magazines; or for the fifteenth time they may inventory and arrange the lummage ia the atttie. If their bent lies in this direction they may go over eight doien canceled checks end an equal number of stubs in an effort to locate the $28 discrepancy between what they think is their balance in the bank and what the bank clerk reports it to be. Delightful' diversions for days cf drizzle! Here and th?re we may find an Individual whose armor of philosophy has not yet been wet through by this aqueous atmosphere. In a reflective mood, not unmindful of the mien of formal logic, he may look ffom bis office window out cn a world of mist, and calling to mind the words of Abraham Lincoln, may remark: ' For people who like this sort of weather, this is about the eort -of weather they ought to like." Which would be puncture-proof logic.

THE WEATHER. It may not be perniissable under the ruled cf formal loc to iay that rainy and gloomy days mut have their uses or there would not be any such days. The logician would surely rind something wrong with uch an assertion. But then. lif is not logical, and w may outwit the logician by assigning some uses to these dark and dismal days. There is no end to the excellent uses which such days may serve. To the individual and there are many such who loves nothing better than to burrow down into the very depths of despondency, they afford glorious opportunity for this pastime. When the Bky is overcast, when it seems as if the sun could never. aver ahine again, after a two or throe day drizzle, our floom dispenser ought to reach the very height tf his happiness by finding himself in the utmost depths of bis despond. lie may then rub hU hands with glee the while ' he greets his eoraewhere-ttie-sun-is shining neighbor with the cheering greeting: "Wonderful day, isn't it, for dark deeds?'' And our Pollyanna?. little ones and bis ones: our Mark Tapleys and Mrs. WlggF and. all the resolute crew of never failing optimists: With what unbeunded enthusiasm will fhey resolve on nays like thee "to glad," and ' to come out strong ar.J be jolly." How they will make even the dreary mist feel ashamed of itEelf. Those who are cf a practical turn of mind will utilire days like these to catch up with their correspondence, writing furiously th while the drizzle en-

THE SUBSTITUTE PARENT. Vthen you put an apple in your child's baud in thu morning, kits the ruddy little cheek and send your precious one to tchool do you dismiss the youngster for the day? Id your interest only formal past the school "r.ouse door? Or if you do scan the report cards with some pride or else concern, docs your care actually extend as far a the teacher?

That Mibstitute mother, remember, sees about as much of your child a you do. The teacher, moreover.

is watching the little mind unfold, develop, Cower with j u keeu and appreciative eye. The teacher, chances are, j S3 has ycur child's confidence. Yes, the teacher can tell j S3 ou several things about that child.. ,So much for what I rEr ou can gain from the teacher. Hut think of her also Sis as a young woman. She is not single-minded besides j ES her school work, she likes life, hhe likes folks afcd, i especially if she is net teaching in her ovrn home town, Est

he has a rather lonely time. Be human to the teacher. Show her as much consideration. a!s much human kindness, as you expect her to show your child. In other words, there is an opportunity to put the old fashioned but reliable golden rule into practice. - i
