Numbering For Power
When King Ahaziah was slain by
Jehu. his mother. the Queen Dowager,
realized instantly that this meant her
loss OF rank and power-the power
and honor and riches which her selfish,
proud heart so loved. She realized
that the moment her grandson ascend
ed the throne she must vacate her
position in favor Of her daughter-in-
law. Her selfish, proud heart resolved
that on no account should this be-

One lesson for us here is the power

many could not be Influenced to be-

ever have such temptation either to

Since we are not kings and queens

Easter Faith.

That which we cannot demon
strate as scientific fact we grasp
by faith. With what scorn and
loathing do we look on any who,
lacking love ties to the future and
barren OF hope for larger life, tell
us that men die like the beasts No.
Faith has wrought the better hope
into the very fiber of our basic
thinking. We love best the songs
that sing 1t and give Immortality to
the literature that speaks our hope
most clearly.
Either the question must be
answered in the affirmative or it
must be that man is the great ex-
ception to the laws of an orderly
world, the one being whose life Is
but maze of contradictions. Are
his powers alone to fail OF their pos
sibilities? Is he the one flower
whose glorious seeds shall find
no fruitage? Why bears he these
longings, why cherish dreams and
hopes that can never be fulfilled
in the brief span Of his life? Shall
he come into being freighted with
these precious seeds of eternity
this consciousness and expectation
Of a larger life, and all fail Of fru-
ition7
Life mocks not thus the grass Of
the fields. How much more, then
shall your Heavenly Father cart
for you o We OF little faith. II

FRANK SHAW MAY
Be IN LINE FOR II

Frank A. Shaw, of the Gary Heat,
Light and Water company, is said to be
in line for the appointment of the new
member of the board of public works
to succeed John J. Nyhof. who was
discharged by Mayor Knots last week
Although the rumor was heard on
the street today it came from a re-
liable source and 1t is said that Mayor
Knots has been considering the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Shaw for the past
two days.
As Mr.. Shaw is connected with the
Gary Heat, Light and Water company
and being familiar with all ines of city
improvements, his appointment will
meet with the approval of the citizens
of Gary in general
The meeting of the board of public
works next Monday morning will be
an important one, as the contract for
the construction of the Toleston sew
ers will be disposed of.
1t is not known what action the
board will take in regard to the Gavit
franchise for the extension of their
present line on Washington street to
the city limits since the turn of events
at last nights meeting of the Gary
Commercial club.

SWELTERS IN HEAT.

Gary people sweltered today in
duplication of the past two days heat
minus the cooling breezes from Lake
Michigan and although there are no
deaths or prostrations reported there
has been much suffering in all parts
of the city.
A death occurred at 713 Jefferson
street last evening but this was due to
heart failure and not the heat accord
ing to physicians In attendance. The
death was that of Isaac Newland, aged
20 years old. a father of Mrs. E. r.
Burris, 713 Jefferson street.
Although there has been no heat
prostrations reported at the Indiana
Steel company's hospital it is said the
suffering has been intense especially
at the blast and open hearth furnaces.
Extra shifts have been placed on duty
and several employees have been COM
PEELED to cease work and go to their
homes on account of the heat.
Mrs. r. NJ. Charlton, health matron
of the Gary board of health is doing all
she can to alleviate the suffering among
the babies in the foreign population on
the south side. Here in the crowded
boarding houses and shacks Mrs Charl-
ton found several pitiable cases among
the babies and there Is much sickness
reported.
