There viii be 1900 extra men enc.

pany, Hammond. within a month At
the present time there are 500 em-i

AS soon as the force has been builtl
up so that a full day shift is employed.j
the organization of a night shift wtlIs
be taken up by General superintendent
Douglas, and before another year rolls
around 1000 men will be employed on
the night shift
This means that before the end Of
another year the Standard Steel Car
company in Hammond will be employ
ing 5000 men. more than have ever
been employed in any two other plants
in the city.
These facts and figures are authorita-
tive and are backed up by the highest
possible authority. Hammond is look

prosperity that it has ever known. 1t
is almost impossible to grasp the signi-
hcance of these facts.

Before the 1910 census is taken 1t Is
expected that the Standard Steel car
company will alone be responsible for
an addition of 10000 to the population

Hammond Business Men
and Representative of
Proposed Industry Come
to Terms Regarding Lo-
eating of Plant.

When the representative business men
of Hammond get together in one of
the meetings of the Inventors and In
vestors council the inventor or manu-
facturer who happens to be appearing.
before that body is very likely to get
the impression that Hammond has
about as shrewd. hard-headed and cold
~, calculating lot of business men
as could be found in any metropolis
in the country.
This was the impression that Mr. Nc
Elroy of the McElroy Betting and Hose
company got last evening, when the
representatives of the Hammond Busi-
ness Mems association and the Invent
ors' and Investors council decided to
give the promoter of this infant indus
try the necessary financial encourage
ment to induce him to locate his plant
here.
Good Proposition.
McElroy was able to convince the
business men, who assembled in the
rooms of the University club. that he
has a good proposition that viii nav
large dividends if properly managed.
and the business men, on the other
hand, were able to convince Mr. NOEL
COY that the manufacturers of Ham
mond are the best friends struggling
manufacturer can have. providing he is
sober, Industrious and meets his obliga
uons.
1t was this understanding that
brought the Hammond business men
and the McElroy Betting and Hose co
together and practically assured Ham
mond of another industry which viii !

md unless there is some unforeseen
itch in the proceedings. approximately
$4,000 will be subscribed for stock in
he company and the location of this
lew industry will be a fact.
Robert Blumer of the Blumer Manu-
acturing company, which manufactures
tarch and washing tablets. stated that
lie mad a company with assets amount
ng to $4,000. but that he needs more
ommodious quarters and $500 in ad-
iuon with which to conduct his busi-
less.
He was Informed that the Hammond
'usiness Mems association has the
pace which VIII be rented TO him at
easonable figure, and after he moves to

After these two men had been heard

ess men present adjourned for the
vening.

The trouble began the day before
Christmas, early in the morning.
'Lizbeth got out of bed on the wrong
side. She dressed on the wrong side
and ate her breakfast on the wrong
side, so by ten o'clock the whole
house seemed wrong.
Now the Wrong Side is black lit
tie sin that wakes up with you and
follows round if you let him, trying
to spoil your whole day. A smile
will drive him away, but 'Lizbeth did
not know this, or else she had for

The Wrong Side was close to Liz

'Lizbeth hid in the hail. Mother did
not see 'Lizbeth; she went into Auntie

crept along the hall to Auntie Mays
door. She raised herself on tip toe,

OF course she understood it ALL
Santa Claus had made mistake, but
1t was all her fault, her own selfish,

CHRISTMAS Eve IN WILDWOOD Hollow.
In Wildwood Hollow, t'other eve, they had

And scores of pretty presents filled the

a hundred warm footmuffs.

And all the birds had wallets new, in
which to keep their bills"
Miss Wildcat an umbrella had (she's often
in "squall");
Miss Peacock, hooks for all her "eyes, :"
and the bat received a ball
The monkey had an interesting book of

And Mr. Alligator had brand new set
of "scales."

gaily round and round,
When his own name upon a pair of "bel-

In short, for each and every one, a useful
gift was planned,
And merry grunts and roars and growls

Pass the minstrel throngs;
Hank! they play so sweet,
On their hautboys, Christmas songsl
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the gleemen sing
In the streets their merry rhymes.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the Babe was born,
Sang, with many a change,
Christmas carols until morn.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
These good people sang
Songs devout and swees;
While the rafters rang,
There they stood with freezing feet.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Who by the Preside stands
Stamps his feet and sings;
But he who blows his hands
Not so gay carol brings.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
