HE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT.

Now that the schools are closed
for the summer, and the teachers
have leisure to think over the events
of the past term, there are many
tales floating about of incidents that
happened within the halls of learn
ing.
One of the teachers of a school not
a thousand miles away, told this: She
had little Italian boy in her class
who had been in this country only a
year.
One day she asked the pupils il
any one could give a sentence with
the word "disarrange" in it. For g
while no one volunteered, when sud
denly CLEAN of comprehension came

he shot no a tiny dirty paw.

Low WAGES FOR RIsKING LIFE

In Germany there are SO many n.y.
ing machines that the men who oper-
ate them have an organization of
their own, called the League of Ger
man Aviators. This league has en-
abled the ''birdmen'' to make a con-
certed demand for higher pay Or
higher minimum wages. Famous
flyers no doubt get all that they ask.
The sum demanded is exceedingly
modest, all things considered. 1t Is
only 800 marks a month, which
means less than SIS.
That is what the German aviators
think the least noted and least popu-
lar men of their craft ought to get
for risking their lives every time
they work 1t is the limit fixed for
taking long chances with death in
the ordinary course of their occupa-
ton.
Some of these flying men, it seems,
have been paid as little as $50 marks
a month, or about SAT That is not
much more than dollar a day, and
although it is true that several days
may pass when no exhibitions are
given and no use is made of aero
planes, the terrible risk of the work
when 1t comes makes such pay a sad
eheapening .of life. 1t also involves
much danger of injuries which are
not fatal but disabling and largely
destroy the earning power of the vic
tim.
In this country flying machines
will have to be made much safer be-
fore there will be a s37-a-month
aviators for hire. or men willing tc
risk their lives for SIS month
American carelessness of life is ma
tional scandal and by-word, but
American wages are far above tbs
German scale for flying.

administration is going to spend pub
lie money for ornamental street
lighting, that their districts should
have the same consideration. Their
arguments are not without merit
and would be doubly strong IL the
city were to install and maintain all
the street lights in the business dis
trict. But the city administration
does no propose to do this. On the
contrary it will take no steps unless
the business men are willing to stand
their part Should the business men
in the other districts in the city de-
eide to do the same thing the city
would have to give these districts
proportionate consideration.
The fact that mass meeting is
caleld, and that Mayor Smalley and
the board of public works desire to
get public expression gives the tax
payer assurance that his interest in
the matter is to have the first consid-

Reliable figures as to cost for in

A NEW AMUSEMENT.

Simplicity is not for Lake County.
Everything must be out of the
ordinary or the greatest of its kind
and Miller-by-the-lake will not prove
an exception, the prophets say.
Transportation facilities are of the
best, the scenery is great and the
sport is no where equalled. Twelve
staid Chicago business and profess
sional men yesterday discovered the
one paramount way of having a good
time. 1t was by coasting or rolling
down the side of a sand dune. Put
ting aside all but the barest neces-
sary articles of apparel, jumping
from the highest point on a smooth
sided steep dune and rolling over and
over to the bottom. Those were the
directions. Spectators enjoyed the
sight as much or more than the par
Elephants, some of whom were very
bald and very fat. But that didn't
matter. They were firmly convinced
that they were having the time Of
their lives.
And it doesn't take complicated
amusement to make everybody
happy.

HE LAUGHS BEST

1t seems that the democrats laugh
ed just little bit too soon. Life for
them is not all bed of Baltimore
roses.
Democratic newspapers were in
dulging in much hilarity over the
strenuous convention fight for the
Republicans at Chicago. They were
almost as hilarious in the early June
of 1880 when the contest within the
Republican party was quite as tense
as 1t is now, but it will be remember
ed that their merrimenr was of short
duration. 1t seems that nearly all
the fun the Democratic party gets
out of politics is in the early sum-
mer. Along about October and the
first of November things get mighty
serious for them. The campaign of
1880 gave us a Republican president
and it is not at all improbable that
the Republican party will be able to
handle the present situation in way
that will bring victory in November.

YOU SHOULD BE THERE.

At the mass meeting In the Ham
mond city hall on Thursday night
two questions of prime Importance
are to be discussed, with reference to
the installation of the. ornamental
street lighting system for the bust
property owners and business men in
the business district, while the Sec
ond concerns all the taxpayers. mas
much as the city proposes to become
the improved lighting system. Now
If there is anything that stamps a
municipality as a live place it is
its lighting system.
As a matter of civic pride and for
the benefit of the whole city it is
hoped that the sentiment to be ex-
pressed at the meeting will favor the
ornamental lighting system. BY far
cording to the proposed plans will
fall on the business men in the bust
ness district.
All the city proposes to do is to in
stall and MAINTAIN four lamp posts at
each street intersection in the bust
ness, and this costing, at the most
double the amount that the city now
pays for the lighting in the business
section, the matter becomes OF in
terest to every taxpayer. Spreading
this tax over the entire city however
will make it so small that it will be
merely nominal, and in no way is the
cost in proportion to the pleasure
and pride that every taxpayer may
derive from a we'll lighted bushes:

SMALL HINGES.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

SMALL HINGES.
A little runt Of q boy came shyly
forward to meet Mrs. Jones. who, tired
with her shopping. sat down on
stool in the toweling department of
the big store
Mrs. Jones owned a large hotel and
was buying supplies.
1t was the boys FIRST day at the
counter. He had just been promoted
from the stock room. where he had
made good
What is this bolt OF toweling worth
hotel rates?'
The stripling's eyes bulged.
"I'li have to ask the head of the de-
partment This is my first day selling
goods Please excuse me, madam. for
| just a moment"
Rushing to his senior, he eagerly
made the inquiry.
Are you sure she wants q whole
bolt?" said the department head Tell
her I'll be there in a moment and walt
on her myself"
The boys face fell. And
| What was it? Something In the
dropping face of the young salesman?
| Anyway. when the head clerk came
forward, briskly rubbing his hands.
| Mrs. Jones said:
Excuse me: this boy is waiting on
me. Ii you will give him the prices
we shall get along very WELL"
They did get along. And when the
woman's bill was footed up 1t came to
500. Ninety dollars! Wouldn't they
stare when he turned In his little sales
book on his first days showing?
And this Is the sequel:
Mrs. Jones became a regular Gus
toner Of the boy. who was always at
tentive and obliging. and brought her
friends to the counter.
Very soon the boy got a raise in
salary and is now the head Of the de-
partment. And be will so higher.
! 1t was little thing for a tired wo
man to do. but
1t was big thing for the boy and
gave him bis first chance as a sales
man.
The fact is
Little things are the hinges on which
big things turn.
Why not emulate the woman:
thoughtfulness? You and 1 probably
never will do any big things In oul

SALE CONTRACT
WILL BE SUBMITTED
TO REALTY BOARD

Of vital interest to real estate deal
ers in Atlanta will be a proposition to
be put by Eugene S. Kelly before the
ing Thursday night. This will be a
new sale contract, uniform in its pro-
visions and features, which 1t is pro-
posed the members of the board shall
adopt as official, in place of the many
forms of contract now used in the city.
The board meets with the president,
Chas. P. Glover, in the latters office,
on Walton street.
The new form provides that "the
vendor Is to furnish good and market
able title TO property, and purchaser
is to have reasonable time in which to
investigate the same" that the sale
of property is to be formally consum-
mated by the execution and delivery
of such papers as may be legally re-
quired as soon as the vendors obliga-
ton to furnish marketable title has
been fulfilled, purchase money notes
for the deferred payments to be given
at the same time, and falling due as
indicated and payable at or before
maturity"
There is d clause covering earnest
money receipts, regular commissions,
etc, and it is asserted that the adop
ton of the form will do away with a
great deal of the crooked work posi-
BILE under many of the old forms. Buy
ers and sellers alike will be protected,

SM| I'll ATTACKS
POLICE PAY GUT
SupernumerarieS Threaten to

Order Is Changed.

ut is a shame to cut these super
numerary policemen out of these few
extra dollars they earn. This action
will materially cripple the efficiency of
the police force. 1t Is a serious blum
der today declared Police Commits
sioner B. Lee Smith. in regard to the
action of Mayor Pro TEN Gambler yes
terday in holding up the police pay roll
until II was rearranged so that super
numeraries would be paid only at the
rate Of 500 per month. At this rate, the
month is only $50.
Commissioner Smith also asserted his
intention Of taking up the matter at
once with the commission with the view
Of having the old scale OF pay re- estab-
lished, by which "supes" have been re-
ceiving the pay of the men whose place
they filled no matter whether 1t was a
$50 man or $50 man. 1t was through
Commissioner Smiths efforts two years
ago that this was made possible. City
Attorney Mayson then ruled that it was
perfectly all right for "supe" to re-
ceive the regular pay of the man for
whom he worked.
When Mayor Pro Tenn Gambler asked
for another ruling yesterday the city
attorney beld that if the "supes" were
first-year men they could be paid only
at the rate Of $50 per month.
The "supes" themselves and the
whole police department are plainly
dissatisfied with the cut in pay, and it
is understood that several of the
"supes" have threatened to quit.
While $50 is the average for "supe, -
some Of them receive even less, while a
few sometimes get a little more. Not
only this, but they haV- to report at
the police station every time a watch
