CONCENTRATION.

The most remarkable thing Thomas
Edison ever said was his rely to man
who asked him if he did not find it
somewhat tiresome to work from six
teen to eighteen hours day.
That question would have been
poser for anybody else, especially for
your overworked anaemic and yellow
skinned peBson who comes from his Of
fee in a nervous state of collapse every
day, kicks the cat up two flights of
stairs for exercise and puts in the
evening by being bored by frivolous
people, but it did not give Thomas Ed
ison the brain fever. He said to his
languid questioner:
You do something sixteen hours a
day. don't you?"
WE'LL" said the other, 81 hadn't
ever thought of that before, but I pre-
sumo / do move around at something
or other during the entire time
Very good" said Edison, that S
exactly what I do-and l venture the
statement that I enjoy what 1 do more
than you do; so, of course, / don't get
tired. Besides that. ] am able to &C
complish more than you do, because
| do the same thing all the time; and
am therefore able to concentrate my
mind upon it,
There is no doubt whatever, but
that the majority of failures are due
to the lack of ability to fasten The
whole attention of he mind upon one
thing long enough to effect it's accom-
plishment. 1t is the eighth wonde
of the world that men should expec
to succeed in any line when their tim,
and attention is evenly divided anon,
two or three or ten things Their
are, indeed, many interests of tn
home and of the community that de
serve and require a mans attention
but, aside from these the amount b
allows other affairs than those of hi
.. own business to absorb any consider
able portion of his time, he is O
dangerous ground.

NAUGHTY STEEL TRUST.

Since this eastern woman charged
the steel trust with killing babies, no
more horrible crime can be laid at it's
door. To hear some of these sob sis
tiers tell it, the steel trust ought to be
hung and quartered. In it's younger
days 1t has stolen apples, robbed wa
termelon patches, firted with help
less old maids, leased and tortured
small boys; cut off braids from little
school girls; chopped down a lot of
little cherry trees; played hockey and
the good Lord only knows what else
Growing older and fully launched or

money given it to pay the grocery bill

lunch; hit a cop with his own club.

a mans self to die" Caesar says
that things usually appear greater at
distance than when near at hand"
The ancient Egyptians were wont
to remember death by bringing in a
dried skeleton in the midst of their
feasts. Having this reminder of their
frail condition before them they pro-
ceeded with their jollification. The
chances are that these ancients stood
in no great fear of the grim reaper.
Socrates as he quaffed his hemlock
welcomed it and why should death be
feared if we so live that life is, not
feared.
1t matters not how long we live as
1t does how we spend our time. Look
at the wonderful things that Jesus
Christ did in his brief SO years on
earth. Alexander lived by three de-
cades and conquered the world
We are dying all the while we live,
yet the most OF us fear that which we
uncOnsciously doing. Constant think
| ing of death does much to dissipate its
horrors. Death is the beginning of
another life. So did we weep, and SO
much 1t costs us to enter into this. and
SO did we put of our former veil in en-.
tering into it, Long life and
short are by death made all one. for
there is no long, nor short. to things
that are no more. Those of us who
have stared death in the face learned
not to fear him.
One of the great things that death
will bring us, and but very few of us
reflect upon 1t, is that it will open to us
the mysteries of the new worlds. Ant
were there no death all men would
wish to die. Some of the old Greeks
compared life to a year. The old yea
plays its part and is gone. The new
year repeats the same thing. 1t will
always continue so as long as tn,
world stands.
If company makes supposed miser,
the less lighter pleasant thought
should follow, for the whole world vii
go the same way.

fort be,
That all the world, by turn, must 70

ON DEATH.

Death stalks rampant through the
land these days 1t is taking those we
love and those we respect, to the Eter-
nal Mystery The great army of ach-
ing hearts is recruited each day by
those who mourn their beloved. Death
is ineluctable.
Every day travels towards death,
the last only arrives at it, Then
again: What dost thou fear thy last
day. it contributed no more to thy dis
solution than every one of the rest?''

philosophy is nothing but to prepare

SCIENTIFIC PARK BUILDING

The Gary Commercial club. aside
from its other activities in the inter-
ests of the city whose name it bears.
has taken up the question OF scien-
tific park building.
The third rails" who are behind
this splendid organization realize that
the time for a city to acquire its park
lands. The city, they believe, should
use the same foresight in acquiring
its park property that the individual
uses.
So the Gary Commercial club has
had an expert come out and advise it's
The purchase of park property will be
The urchase of park property will be
made intelligently with reference to
the needs of the whole city, present
and prospective.
Two sites are strongly considered
at the present time. One is on the
lake front and The other is south of
the city IN the v:clnity of the Ri lse
road
| The necessity for action Is clearly
shown from the fact that Gary is al
ready excluded from it's four miles of
lake frontage and must now purchase
land in the town of Miller If 1t would
have lake front park. In the Ridge
road territory land values have risen
to such an extent that 1t will not be
long before there will be no property
that could be had for reasonable
figure. This is due to the develop
ment activities of T. w. Englehart.
And while Gary is at work solving
Its park problems it should recognize
the peculiar conditions in Lake coun
jty which have made a number oil
large cities such close neighbors.
This circumstance calls for united
action on the art of these cities in the
matter OF park and boulevard devel
lopment. For instance. Mayor Knots
