Talks.
OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.
So you are twenty-one!

So you are twenty-one.
And you stand up clear eyed to look
the world in the face-a man.
Did you ever think, son, how much it
cost to make a man of you? 1t cost
lot of money, but that isn't all.
You have cost father lot of hard
knocks and short dinners and gray
streaks in his hair. And your mother
boy, you will never know. You have
cost her anxious days and nights, and
wrinkles in the dear face.
Sure, it has been expensive to grow
you. But
If you are what we think you are
you are worth all you cost us, and
more.
Be sure OF this: Father doesn't say
much but ''Hello, son. but deep down
in his tough, stanch heart he thinks
you are the finest ever And the little
mother simply cannot keep her love
and pride for you out of her eyes.
Sonny, if you were to do anything low
or mean it would just about kill your
mother.
You are a man now.
Some time you must step in your
fathers shoes. Don't call him "old
man." He doesn't like to know you
call him that; but, just the same, he is
not as young as he used to be- You
see, he has been working pretty hard
for twenty-one years to help you up.
And your mother begins already to
lean on you.
Doesn't that sober you-twenty-one?
Your father has done fairly well in
the world, but he expects you to do
better. And SO do you expect you will
do better. He has given you a better
chance than he had You begin al
most where he leaves off All the
same, young man, if you do even as
well as your sire and keep your soul
clean you will have done pretty well.
Don't finch, boy.
The world will try you out. It will
strain every fiber that is in you But
you are made of good stuff Hold to
your mothers teachings and shame the
devil. Once the load of life is fairly
strapped on your young shoulders you
will carry the burden and scarcely
feel 1t If only there Is cheerful mind.
All hail, YOU, on the Threshold
1t is high time you were beginning
TO pay the freight. And there are
your back debts to father and mother
You viii pay them, won't you, boy
Not in money. No. You can't pay
those debts in money.
How shall you pay those sacred
debts?
There is just one way-by being al
ways and everywhere a man!

ADMISSION CUT AT RACE TRACK.
Sheepshead Bay Follows the Lead of
Empire City In Gate Prices.

New York, Aug. 27.-Sheepshead Bay
has followed the lead of the Empire
City track and has cut the price of ad-
mission to 81, commencing at the meet
ng of next Saturday. Moreover, they
have gone one better than the manage
nent of the Yonkers course and have
ct the price for admission of women
81.
There will be no telegraph wires at
he track. This is on account of the
crusade started against telegraph com
panies which furnish news to pool
rooms. Plans are on foot for fitting up
offices of the telegraph companies just
pposite the course, but it is not known
what the attitude of the track author
lies will be toward permitting persons
to pass in and out of the gates while
racing is progressing. The newspa-
pers will depend on telephones to fur
nish the RESULTS.

in the manufacture of metal plate on
August 20 by the installation of a tin
plate mill. The mill when operating
viii employ about fifty men. Orders

presided at the session. There was a
representative bunch of men who gath
cred together last night in the inter-
ests of the G. o. P
Some of the biggest men in town
last night, together with the most in
significant party precinct worker, was
there to get any data that might prove
of value in the next energetic period.
They were arming themselves for bear.
and the old line republicans from down
state gave them all they were looking
for.
Candidates For County Offices There.

ers. Among the latter were Treasurer
Albert Mack, Auditor Herbert Jones,
Commissioner Richard Schaaf Sr.,
homas Grant, candidate for sheriff; Ed

dother prominent party workers
who were anxious to get a line on the
plans for the coming campaign.
Try to Get Line ON Situation.
Previous to the meeting the party
who made the trip to Gary spent their
time in an attempt to get line on the
probable vote at the coming election.
They We're told that it would not run
over in all probability, and that Garx
would be delivered without question tN
the republicans.
After the visitors had had dinner in
the Gary hotel, they adjourned to the
clubrooms, where a large crowd had
gathered to hear the speakers. Judge

method to be adopted in the coming

Judge Emerson of Vincennes, who made
a great hit with the local men. He
seemed in particularly pleasant frame
of mind and encouraged all who heard
him.

very fitting that a representative from
the oldest city in the state should be
at this meeting and address the peo-
pie of the youngest city in the state.
He also, besides his political forecast,
predicted that the cities in the Calu-
met region would soon be Joined to-
gether and he suggested that if dis
pute arose over the name that he be
appointed umpire, and that he would
| call it North Vincennes. He also
| spoke of the new steel city as the
| eighth wonder of the world.
