That all communities are la.
boring to get the best there is OF
life is not to be questioned, fol
they certainly do. Every com
munity that has a congregation,
finds the rich and poor doing
their share towards that congre-
cation. Certainly the rich SHOULD
be called on to contribute more
than the man of lesser means
and more than otter he does it.
In our charities you will also
find the rich and the man of me-
dunn and small means, and here,
too, the rich should be called on
to bear the heavier end, and
more than often he does it.
In all enterprises the rlcn are
expected to be more liberal than
the man of lesser means, and the
number of times the expected

LITTLE MISS BETH LITERARY.

Z Literary, s&4eGs&
He had been transformed into bril-
liant luminary;
Together with the stars, sun and moon
he ruled the season, fg
Washed across the sky of man a grand
er, nobler vision.
Little Johnny Literary,
While watching from his observatory,
Discovered a new luminary,
A portentous star of noble size.
But he could not tell with his naked
49, eyes;
Whether its nature was of manly Nep-
tune, or lovely Venus fair;
Whether fixed star or comets shay
gy hair.
So little Johnny rushed to earth,
To be present at the happy birth,
AS the star fell from high heaven
On Sunday, October eleven.
Amidst temple dedicated and spacious
dome,
New splendor, in a splendid home,
Happy mamma Houston stood
A perfect picture Of motherhood.
Beside her stood Papa Henry Donney
While rushing rushed came little john
ny.
While with perplexion far perpleXed,
Every living face was vexed.
Little Johnny took his place,
Dark perpleXion Swallowed on his face.
But forthwith and anon,
Like the booming Of cannon,
A voice trundered forth
The loud and joyous report.
And babe lovely Venus her banner un-
furl,
And shouted, Its little girl" Its .
little grill" {
Then came the doctor in solemn pro-
cession, !
To name the babe according to his pro-
fession.
Followed Papa Henry Donney,
Followed Little Johnny,
Mamma Houston, filled with pride,
Carried the little bride;
n goemetric progression
Went the procession.
Then with solemn, unctious breath.
Fhe doctor named her little Miss Beth.
Vow Papa Henry Donney was sorry
little Miss Beth could not be named
little Johnny,
Md the doctor, with the religious
voice,
Deprecated Fate's ignoble choice,
That little Miss Beth was not born
boy ~.
pnt litt1n Johnny was overcome Will
joy.
Little Johnny dreamed Of a home and
dreamed of love,
And blessed the thousand gods Tor
sending the little dove,
And he stroked her black and oeaute-
Gus hair
With a wondrous, wondrous magic
care,
And he looked into her black, dreamy
eyes
And saw visions of paradise.
And he picked her UP in his hand
And thanked the gods for sending the
little friend

BATHHOUSE NOT CLOSED
Board of Public Works De
MES Printed Report That
Has Been Sent Out.

Adam Ebert, president of the board
of public works today denied the re-
port that the bath house at the lake
front was closed yesterday for the sea-
son.
The report had been circulated with
the idea of discouraging patrons to
come to the beach, the object being to
relieve the keepers of the bath house
of their duty. The profits are not so
large now as they were earlir in the
season.
The bath house will remain open
for an indefinite length of time" said
Mr.. Ebert to THE TIMES, at any rate
it is not yet time TO close it."
H. c. Green, manager of the street
car company. who has provided band
music for the park has been given to
understand the same thing about clos
ing the bath house and consequently
withdraw the band. While the report
of closing the bath house brought
about the immediate withdrawal of
the band it would have been called
soon anyhow as the evenings are get
ting to cool.
Mr.. Green has received a vote of
thanks from Pugh's band for the
square deal that it received during the
summer.

WAS LITTLE BUT OH MY!'
Princess Wah to Waso
Makes a Hit on Local
Stage Yesterday.

Princess Wah-ta- Vase now at
Tcwle's is only a mite of a girl in
stature. but big in pluck and deter
mination. and when she says she can
do a thing, her words carry conflic-
ton. 80 when she told w f. Mann that
Panama was the part for her, he
felt no hesitancy in providing the pro-
duetion and an ample cast to support
her. That his faith was not misplaced
is shown by the way she is crowdiug
the theaters everywhere. and the unan-
imous praises being showered upon her
by the public and press alike.
She holds the enviable distinction of
being the only full blooded Indian star
on the American stage today and be-
sides being the only full blooded In
dian star on the stage. is also one of
the prettiest. She is also an expert in
horsemanship. and never dreams OF
riding womans fashion, but rides
astride as nature intended. A pouring
rain or heavy snow cannot dampen
her spirits. and no matter how severe
the weather. she takes an hours walk
or a gallop on her favorite horse and
then has a good bath and rub down
afterwards. AT Towles opera house

HAMM0NDS TAXLEW

Democrats Criticize The County Com
missioners For Showing
Gary Preference.

Hammond's tax levy for the year
1909 viii. from present Indications,
not be above Sl.So, or ninety cents
lower compared with that of last year.
1t may possibly be lower. The levy
will be fixed tomorrow evening at the
regular meeting of the city council,
Mayor Becker and the heads Of the
various city departments together
with the finance committee, have held
repeated conferences last week and
will be busy tomorrow TO get the fig
ures into shape in order to present
them to the council for consideration.
For several days the department
heads and Mayor Becker have been
trimming in order to bring the levy
down to thel owest possible figures,
hoping to carry out tncir original plan
to bring 1t down to S1.7o. but despite
their efforts they are unable to bring
il down so low.
commissioners stand Interfercs.
The position that the county COM
missioners are taking toward Ham
mond is in some degree responsible
for this, and will cause the commits
sioners to make explanations why Gary
should have preference over Hammond
in receiving the benefit of county
funds.
The particular instance that is caus-
ing dissa tisfaction in Hammond's ad-
ministrative circles in regard to the
action of the county commissioners is
the appropriation for the Columbia
avenue bridge as compared with the
one that the county is building for
Gary over the Little Calumet river
there.
Receives NiggardIy Treatment.
Hammond only received the appro-
priation for the bridge with prospect
to build its own approaches, while Gary
received $4,000 for the building of
concrete bridge and the necessary APP
proaches. 1t is estimated that with
the building up of Columbia avenue,
through the swamps and the approach
es, the cost will nearly equal that of
the bridge. With that prospect in
view the city will nave to provide
for the funds for the building Of the
approaches
In addition to the TAX levy there
will be number of new ordinances
introduced which will be added to the
long list already adopted
