Now this is all I have to say
Keep 'em on.
To early spring fall not prey.
Keep 'em on.
Think not because mild breezes blow
That we are done with sleet and snow

It's quite a jump to June you know.
Let others foolish be, but you

No matter what your neighbors do,
Keep 'em on.
I need not come right out, I ween,
For surely you are not that green.

So keep 'em on.

IN GLASGOW. Scotland, where they
do some things better than they do in
the United States, the railroads are
compelled 10 run on time.
That does not mean that they
may be late from five minutes to
half an hour. 1t means that they
must run exactly according to the
schedule. What is more. If a business
man takes a train in Scotland and
expects TO keep a business appoint
ment in some distant city and the
train is so late that he fails to meet
his man, he has recourse against the
railroad and may collect damages.
In other words when a man buys a
railroad ticket in Scotland he enters
into a contract with the railroad COM
pany by which. for a consideration. he
expects to be taken to his destination
within a given time If the railroad
fails to do its part 1t is a breach of
contract and the company Is liable.
1t does not take much of a stretch
of imagination to realize what would
happen in Hammond If the Lake Shore
railroad for example would be com
PEELED TO make a settlement with its
passengers for damages because Of de-
lays.
A man buys a ticket to the theatre
in Chicago. he decides to tako the 5:2S
suburban train into the city. Instead
of arriving there at $50, as he ha,
reasons to believe he viii, the train i:
delayed at every station along the way
and he arrives in the city at any Tins
between $50 and 1890. The unfortu.
nate fellow is not only out his $500
for theatre tickets but he has lost val
liable time and has been seriously in
convenienced.
Hammond people have been putting
up with that sort of thing for months

In Scotland the railroads could not af-
ford to run the risk. 1t would cost
them too much money.
Oftentimes Is minutes or a half hours
delay means the loss OF hundreds of
dollars to the business man and yet he
has no recourse and the only way the
railroads may be made to see the error
of their ways is to make them finan-
cially responsible for unreasonable de-
lays.

1t is unfortunate that the stock ex-
change, which ought to be the very
heart and soul of the worlds financial
life and which ought to contain the
very essence of sound business sense,
purely sentimental fear is allowed to
play such a large part. One would
think from the dumping of valuable
securities regardless of price that our
railroad dividends were in great dan
ger, but they are not in danger at all.
Since the civil war we have had the
gold corner of Black Friday, the
greenback craze, the Spanish war and
two Bryan campaigns, and yet In or
der to endanger our railroad dividends
in any broad sense we should have to
have a misfortune worse than any OF
these.

A pretty romance which will cul-
inmate either today or within the nexN
few days in the wedding Of two cousins
is that of Miss Germaine Fusenot and
Gorges Fusenot. Miss Fusenot Is the

the Vile de Paris. Although the license
was issued yesterday the young folks
have not divulged their plans, and will
not tell just when the ceremony is to be.
Miss Fusenot has a beautiful voice
which has been heard at many Los An
geles functions and also at the Treble
Clef concerts. The bridegroom is a
native of France and has only been in
this country about two years. The
news will come as a surprise to their
large circle of friends as their engage
ment was only announced couple or
days ago and no one expected that the
wedding would come so soon. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Fusenot are planning to leave
for Europe after the ceremony.
