Lesson for Little Children.

Did you ever think of the many lad
Who wishes to day for someone to call
dad 2''
And 50 upon this glorious Christmas Day
Give to others and put selfish thoughts away.
Did YOU ever reflect on how many girls
Sigh for dear mothers fondling of their
curs?
And when your heart IS heavy and eyes are
Gently knecl down and tervently pray to
Him.
Did you ever think how on tins happy day
Our redeeming Lord was born far, far away ?
Then always remember that every kind deed
Is Heavenly blessing to those who need.
Did YOU e'er consider that He sees all this,
And that any wrong deed he will never
miss?
For the good Father above on Christmas
Day
To you, my dear children gave HIS Son
away.
Did YOU ever think or did you ever care
For your mothers worn face-your fathers
gray hair?
Then upon our Christmas Day, when all is
joy,
Become a good girl, or equally good boy,

The Vision of the Shepherds,


Over in Judeas country shepherds nightly
did abide
Ger their tIocks watch thus keeping that
no harm might them betide
And as they watched that holy night there
suddenly did appear
A heavenly apparition-one which tilld
their hearts with fear
BE not afraid, the angel SAID; ''ye have no
cause for fright,
For unto you in Bethlehem Child is born
tonight
These tidngs do | bring to you and people
everywhere
there
Then multitude of angels did appear from
out the sky
Singing in Seraphic voices-"Glory be to
God on high
Goodwill to all mankind, they sang "let
peace prevail on earth,
For in Bethlehem a Virgin to Child has
given birth
Ye shall find them i'll stable with no bed
save only hay,
Lying there among the cattle is the Christ
who came to-day.
His Name shall be Emmanuel He shall be
the Prince of Peace,
And HIS glory through the ages shall
resound and never cease
Thus speaking all the host of heavenly
angels did depart
And the shepherds were left standing there
with wonder in each heart.
Then said they to one anOther-'can these
wond rous things be real
Let us go and see these marVels which the
angels did reveal"
So in haste to David city went the eager
shepherds all,
Where Virgin with the Chrlst-Chlld sat
within an open stall;
Eair indebted NlrpluitV. with Motherhood

ORIGINAL POETRY.
To Mary-On Her birthday

This glorious season brings to mind
The JOY we found in thee;
Twas on the Redeemer's own birthday
You came to Us, MARY.
Increased tenfold our JOY is now,
Thy winSome ways Astounding;
Each recurring DAY adds something to
Thy native charms unfolding.
What If thy fruitful mind requires
An answer without error,
To the thousand things that fit across
Imagination mirror?
It's but the proof of talent rare
OF an active mind eXub' rant;
The sunshine that drives gloom away
And keeps our hearts all jub' liant,
Thy titful foibles, then, we pass
Than i'll they re more alluring;
They draw thee closer to our hearts
The while we are reproving.
Then here is to thee, my bright MARY,
Sweet lass of winning way;
May you grow in grace and lovelineSs

SITE NOW CLAIMS
GARYS ATTENTION

The problem which the library board
is forced TO solve in regard TO the loca-
ton of their new building the funds
for which were recently donated by
Andrew Carnegie has now been taken
up by the public who are interested in
having the location near the future
residential and business center of the
city as possible.
The majority of persons that THE
TIMES reporter has talked to in the
matter have favored Fifth avenue be-
cause of the fact that this will be the
longest east and west street in the
city and that it cuts into the heart of
the residential district of the employees
of the American Steet and Tin Plate
company, the American Bridge com
pany and also the residents of the In
diana steel company.
1t is also set forth that the Y M. c.
A building will be located on this
street which will make 1T one of the
finest thoroughfares in the city in ad-
dition to its other features.

CONTRACTS
LET FOR
!. N. c. A.

Gary's Y. NJ. c. A. building is now to
become a reality. in fact so much so.
that the contracts for the erection of
Gary's most stately and hands
structure, costing 100000 was awarded
yesterday afternoon to the William
Grace company of Chicago, actual
work on the excavation of the building
to start early next week.
The news OF the awarding of the
contract was given out by Captain II.
S. Norton in the Offices of the Gary
Land company and was joyfully re-
ceived by the people of Gary.
The news that the Gary Y. NJ C. A.
building was to cost $4,000 created a
general surprise IN Gary when it was
known that Judge E. H. Gary's origi-
nal donation was 100000. but the true
facts were learned this morning.
A short time ago when the original
plans We're submitted to Judge Gary
| in New York he was not satisfied with
certain details of the plans and in
! structed the architects to make the
| necessary changes. by the time the
plans were finished and accepted by
Judge Gary the cost of the building
would total approximately 100000. so
| that by the time Gary's new Y NJ. C. A
home is completed II will cost, with
| the ten lots donated by the Gary Land
| company. $225.000. The entire cost oil
the construction of the building will be
paid by Judge Gary.
Word was given out in the offices o.
the William Grace company in Chicago
this morning that work would start OF
the excavations on Monday. The build
ing is to be erected on ten lots be
tween Adams and Jefferson streets an,
fronting on Fifth avenue. The build
ing will be set in the middle of tn
block so that the alley between Adam
and Jefferson streets will be vacated
The building will be three storie
and a half high and the ground plan
will be 1872 by 70 feet. A wing in tn

SAX BACK FROM
BASEBALL MEETING

Sam Sax, manager of the Gary base
ball team returned this evening from
South Bend where the directors of the
Indiana Michigan league held an i'm
portant session. Probably the most
important thing accomplished was the
arrangements made with the Murdoch
lines which reach practically all of the
towns on the circuit for special cars
ton of the players and fans from one
city to another.
This arrangement will help material
ly In creating an interest among the
contendig cities. in stirring up rivalry
and the fares with the special car serv-
Ice will be greatly reduced. Booster
clubs are being organized in all of the
cities and Berren Springs. where Gary
will play tomorrow for the second game
of the season has a club already or
ganized of 70 members who will follow
their team about the circuit.
Tomorrow an attempt will be made to
get so Gary fans to go with the team
to Berien Springs. If this number can
be secured a special car can be pro-
cured and the rate to that city will be
only $3.50 in place of the regular fare
be a good one, and the class shown
| by the Gary aggregation deserves the
support of the city.
Gary has led Off with a percentage Of
1 900 and hopes to maintain that record
for several weeks to come. The per

houses were, however. never put upon

After the houses had been built the
company realized that to live in them
without better drainage would leopard

and for Conscientious reasons the COM

to sell or rent the houses until a main

WHY CARR
ATTACKED
FIJI. OORAN

That uncertain and intangible thing |
the political searchIight, focused its
rays in Gary few days ago and made |
light some interesting things hitherto |
obscured by the veil of secrecy Dur
ing the lost few days Editor Carr of
the Gary Tribune has been assailing the |
census supervisor by attacking the |
census force in the steel city.
Cause n Mystery.
The cause OF these editorial shafts
have been mystery In view Of the
fact that when an examination for
census takers was held in Gary every
applicant failed to obtain the required
grade. In consequence Supervisor
Doran, it is said. was obliged to come
to Gary and personally request the
present census takers to accept the
positions. They did this after much
persuasion
Attacking Crumpacker.
A few days ago the Tribune suddenly
attacked the census methods in Gary
and wound up by sending indignant
telegram to Congressman Crumpacker
These Attacks have been continued
and the Tribune is in a high state of
dudgeon over the offense 20 to civic
pride when the census is not nearly
completed
However theory was offered which
may solve the Indignation of the edi-
tor and also enlighten the public upon
some of the attacks which the erstwhile
repu blican organ made upon Congress
man Crumpacker at the time he was
seeking denomination.
He Wanted 1t HimseIf
| According to the tale which has now
| come to light, Carr was desirious of
| being appointed census supervisor for
this district However. Congressman
| Crumpacker did not aid him in his am
| billions and the result was that Presi-
dent Taft gave the commission to
Francis Doran. of Michigan City.
] A short while after the congressman
was made the subject of a series of edi-
| torfal attacks. Whether Mr. Cars
| jealousy of Mr. Doran has prompted
him to assai1 the census methods in
Gary is not known. However IL the
| story is true the reason for the at
| tacks upon Congressman Crumpacker
and Supervisor Doran are quite ap-
parent.

day, the patient showing signs of
