MELISSA DOES NOT CARE FOR
CALLOW YOUTH.

'You needn't tell mel" said Mrs.
MerriWid's maternal maiden aunt
Jane, Indignantly.
Mrs. Merriwid held back the loose
sleeve of her tea gown with one hand
while she poured with the other, a
movement which displayed the beau
ties of her arm and hand, literally, to
admiration. 1t was a pity that no one
but Aunt Jane was present. At the
same time, Mrs. Merriwid's eyes
sparkled mischievously and she gig
gled so that she spilled the tea.

Jane, rubbing her nose, as she had a
habit of doing when vexed, land you

Mrs. Merriwid. "You won't have to
wrinkle up your forehead so much
Or I'll tell you, to, save trouble. I'm

You're thirty" snapped Aunt Jane,
"and he isn't much over twenty"
But he's large for his age" said
Mrs. Merriwid, dimpling. "Six feet

that the disparity isn't really so great
as it might seem at the first blush.

"FiddIei" Aunt Jane interrupted
'You know better"
And he's seen great deal of the
world" Mrs. Merriwid continued, dis
regarding the interruption. ''He says

bit of devil, but, of course, that was
before he came under my ennobling and
refining influence. He finds himself

boy unhappy"
"r make him unhappy" exclaimed
Mrs. Merriwid. why, sweetheart, he
never knew what happiness was be-
fore he met me. It's the delirium of
ecstacy-or the ecstacy of delirium-I
forget which he said-just to be near
me. And the touch of my hand-I
can't recall at this moment exactly
what the touch of my hand is, but
the effect is something fierce, as we
used to say in the office. And when
you talk of .inexperience, well, that
is to Singer. He knows women up
and down and all around, all the
same like a book He's wise to us,
auntie. There aren't any Of our little
tricks and manners that he isn't, so
to speak, hep to. It's positively I'M

are concerned. That's without any
reference to me, of course. I'm not
an ordinary woman; I'm an enigma,
even to him. He admits that. Dear

Il call it wicked" observed Aunt
Jane. "If you were serious, it would
be different. 1t would be bad enough
then, but as it is, it's wicked"
Mrs. Merriwid set down the cup of
tea she had been slipping and leaned
back in her chair and sighed. I
wonder If I'm not serious?" she said.
why shouldn't I be? Look at it in
a reasonable light, auntie. Would it
be any disadvantage to him to have

great deal depends upon appear
we'll as in the case of individuals.
Nothing is going to improve the ap-
pearance of he cities of the Calumet
region so much as a modern strete
lighting system.
The city has been woefully defici-
emit in this matter. The first attempt
to light the streets by means of wire
arches was a makesnift at the best
and never should have been at
tempted.
But the value of well-lighted
streets is coming to be appreciated
in this community as is evidenced by
the efforts that are being made in a
number of cities, to INSTALL orna
mental street lighting.
The suggestion in THE TIMES
that the only equitable means of de-
termining the manner in which the
cost of this Improvement should be
assessed is to charge the property
owners for the installation and the
city for the current seems to have
been generally accepted
This is the only way that progress
can be made for experience has
shown that the property owners will
not all pay their street lighting bills.
Under the old system there were a
dozen state street merchants and
property owners who failed to pay
for the current consumed.
The business men of the city are to
be congratulated on the fact that
they have made the progress they
have. 1t indicates that Hammond is
to remain in the vanguard in the
matter of such improvements.

Dr. Woodrow Wilson expressed his
adherence of labor unionism. In.

that leave no doubt as to his real
ideas on that subject.
In lecture delivered before the
Peoples Forum, New Rochelle. N.

ed labor:
The labor unions reward the
shiftless and incompetent at the
expense of the able and industri-
GUS"
On June 13, 1909, as president OF
Princeton university, he declared
himself in the course of his bacca
laureate sermon to the graduating
class as follows on the issue of
unionism
You know what the usual
standard of the empIoye is in our
day 1t is to give as little as he
may for his wages. Labor is
standardized by the trades union.
and this is the standard to which

II need not point out how econ

able to the employer that in some
trades 1t will presently not be
worth his while to attempt any,

Delaware county has had in its
time some pretty rank exhibitions OF
bossism and machine tyranny, but by
all odds the most fragrant that has
yet occurred is that which has ac-
companied the organization of the
new party in this county--a party
which, with proper courtesy to the
socialists and prohibitionists is not
entitled to be called the third party,
but must be denominated the fifth
party, or, perhaps better still. In
view of the well displayed machinery
