A famous animal painter says that
when he was boy he once witnessed
a fight between two dogs, one OF which
belonged to an Irishman who was a
retired prize lighter. The Irishman's
dogs was badly beaten, and the fact was
a source of deep chagrin to the owner
He was very jealous of the dogs rec
ord, but. as only he and the painter
had seen the fight, he asked the lat
ter, in a decidedly significant way,
which of the dogs won.
why" was the reply, your dog
won, of course. He was underneath
the other dog. but he was chewing the
life out of the cur all the time"
That's roight," said the Irishman

CITY WILL TAKE
UP CONTRACT

Hammond taxpayers are on the eve
of an important contract bids for
which will be opened tomorrow morn
ing in the city hall by the board Of
public works.
A new ten or twenty-year contract
for the lighting of the streets, alleys,
public building for rates to the inhabi-
tants are to be made. Hammond now
pays 81 a year for each street light,
or s84 a year. When the new con-
tracts are submitted the board will in
sist on lower rate than the city is
now securing from the Northern In
diana Gas & Electric company. Instead
of paying 81 a month for each light
they will insist on rate that Is sew
eral hundred dollars lower. The con-
tract need not necessarily be closed
tomorrow. Any and all bids may be
rejected. but it is expected that there
will be competition as the board has
advertised the fact IN several trade
journals.
The contract does not become ef-

fective until 1911, thus giving any
other company which has no plant, suf-
ficient time to get ready in case 1t
should land the contract.
The Northern Indiana Gas & Elec-
tric company, however, is considered
the to have the advantage because it is
already locate dhere and can conse-
auently underbid outsiders.
J. W. Esterline of Lafayette has
been retained by the city as speclal
engineer in closing up the contract.
He also drew up the specifications.

one person, whose enmity Ed. Simon
has engendered This person is so
situated that he can with seeming pro-
priety act as the mouthpiece of rep
resentative democrats and to wreak his
vengeance upon Ed. Simon. He at
tempted to misrepresent Ed. Simon in
the district by sending information UNI
der the guise of political condolences,
but which in reality were nothing more
than a personal attack to satisfy a
personal grudge. That these tactics
have been a boomerang to the author
can be taken from the number of let
tiers that Mr.. Simon has received from
all over the district in which he is as
sured that the same confidence is placed
in him as was before the question was
raised.
With what little time remains Ed.
Simon is being urged by his friends to
get into the race and vindicate the po-
sition that he has In the hearts of the
old-line democrats. Others, however,
say he is taking the right course. They
say race means a fight and that in
turn would mean the tearing off of
many mask of virtue which now hides
the face of some democratic tricksters.
The result would be disruption and
disharmony, from which the party in
this district would not recover in many
years, and for the sake of harmony
they say he is taking the right course.

MERCHANT WILL BEGIN AN
INNOVATION ON JANY. lST

Beginning with Jan. /, 1910, E. c.
Minas & Co. will close their store at s
O'Clock every evening excepting Mon
days and Saturdays. This is a decided
innovation and the step is taken VOL
unfairly by Mr.. Minas. 1t is another
evidence of the trend to metropolitan
ism on the part of the merchants of
Hammond.
1t is not so many years ago that the
country idea of keeping stores open
evenings, as long as there was any
trade, prevailed. 1t was even the GUS
tom to open most of the stores on Sun
day to pick up what little business
there was to be done then.
The merchants then got together and
made an agreement to close the stores
on Tuesdays and Thursdays The
rights of the employees were taken into
consideration and it was found that
the clerks were more alert and actually
accomplished more when they were not
so closely confined.
Goes Step Farther.
Mr. Minas has gone a step farther.
He is of the opinion that if the clerks
in his store are given four of the six
evenings in the week and make good
use of the extra time for rest and the
enjoyment of various diversions they
will be more efficient during the hours
they are on duty
Consequently, Mr.. Minas has gone in
to this matter fearlessIy. He believes
that the employees, himself, and indi-
rectly the community will benefit by
the plan.
The plan is not an experiment. It is
based on personal experience and on the
experience of other merchants who
have adopted this plan. In nutshell.
Mr.. Minas believes that if a clerk can
do a given amount of work in ten hours
there is no use in making him play at
it for thirteen hours.
The general public would rather do
Business with a bright, alert clerk who
is ION the JOE" every minute than with
a tired, disinterested clerk. who didn't
care whether or not school kept.
Public Benefits
Neither will the plan impose a hard
ship on the general public. The com
munity no longer demands Sunday
opening of stores. It no longer de-
mands that stores be kept open until
II o'clock. as was the case few years
ago. In the early days it simply
thought it demanded these things. and
now 1t is glad that it can forget it's

Just why Frank Shine should want
to switch from the office of city sealer
to plain clothes man is not quite APP

Frank prefers police work to the work
of city sealer. The salaries are about
the same for both positions. Further

Speaks in Chicago.

Director Charles b. Hahn of Ham
monds Boyville went to St. Paurs
Universalist church, at the corner OF
Thirtieth street and Armour avenue
where he explained Hammond's Boy
vile movement.
1t is said that he opened the eyes of
the people there by what he is doing
at Hammond. and If is possible that a
number of the Chicago people who are
interested in this movement will come
to Hammond to see how the work is
being carried on here.

Sundays.
So Mr.. Minas is the pioneer in this
movement. He has not yet informed
MS clerks Of the plan and they will

dium of THE TINES
To encourage the general public to
trade in the day time, Mr. Minas has

coupons on Tuesday and Friday morn

and Mr.. Minas will encourage the trad
