THE TRACTION SCRAP.

The Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend Railway Company has been ris-
ing in the estimation of the people of
the community it serves. as result
of the excellent service it has given
lately but If it is going TO adopt q
dog-in-the-mange attitude towards
other companies seeking extensions it
is about time that the public was in
dicating its disapproval.
Everybody knows that for years
the people of East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor were compelled to put up
with abominable service on the South
Shore line between those cities.
Now that competition is promised
the company seeks to prevent the
Hammond, Whiting g. East Chicago
and the Gary G Interurban railroads
from entering the harbof over Chi
cago avenue.
Chicago avenue at the point in
question is to be occupied Jointly by
the Indiana Harbor branch of the
OOulH OlOIc l<tuS ytnc OlCSA iluc duu
the Gavit line.
The street is 100 feet wide and
there is ample room for three tracks
if necessary. 1t is apparent on the
face of things that it is not because
it's own interests are endangered but
because it wants to keep out competi-
tion that the South Shore line has
taken steps to enjoin the other lines
from building on Chicago avenue.
The time is not very far distant
when the South Shore lines will have
to come before the councils of bott
East Chicago and Hammond fol
favors and when this time comes the
road should be given but little con.
sideration unless it shows more liber
ality now.
Those who are on the inside thinl
they know the source of the Soutf
Shore opposition to the plans for TIL,
extension of the two other lines il
this township. This may also de
velop in the future.

and bruise the aforesaid plaintiff.
Jack Johnson, to such an extent that
he is now permanently and incur
ably injured and crippled
Dick Jack Johnson moan and weep
and retire into home for the incur
ables? He did not. He continued to
burn up the roads with his automo-
bile and pay for the same in the po-
lice court. He kept on drinking his
usual modest allowance of ten or
twelve bottles of champagne every
day. He went into training for his
championship fight with Jim Flynn
by running few dozen miles a day
and knocking various two hundred
pound sluggers into condition OF
coma. And. permanently and incur
ably crippled and injured as he was,
he good-naturedly hammered Jim
Flynn into the semblance of the in
side of cannibal sandwich, when he
met him in the ring Then he went
cut and collected his bets and made a
speech
Some performance, that, for a
permanent, incurable cripple More
over, the thought can't help obtrud-
ing itself that the only show for the
next white hope" is to have himself
run over by the Century Limited.

nothing amazes the town. it doesn't

happening here that New York forgets
your history and IL you are just doing
right now that's all it wants to know
why have you changed your plan
of life?" Miss Binford was asked.
We'll. I never realized what life
meant until the horror of the trial." she
replied slowly.
You see. I was started wrong, and
1T never occurred to me to change my
way of life. Besides, / could not have

ing 1 could have got to do, nobody
would have given me a chance. You

experience
But when the trial came and / saw
what the wrong way of life leads to
made up my mind to live differently.
There's nothing in the other way of
living-there's nothing to look forward
to-theres no happiness and no re-

PICKING UP PIG IRON.

The introduction of the lifting
for such laborious work as the hand
ling of pig iron to be performed by
human effort at all, and the results,
given in the unloading of the steam
ship Erwin l.. Fisher, at Indiana Har-
Dor, Ind, give the comparative figures
for the man and the machine. With
a cargo of four million pounds or pig
iron, the time required to unload this
vessel with twenty-eight men was
two days and two nights. which cor
responds to about three thousand
teen tons a day of ten hours. When
the lifting magnet was introduced
the total time required for unloading
was reduced to eleven hours, and this
was done by two men, whose labor
consisted in manipulating the con-
trollers in the cages of the cranes.
Thus two men and two magnets did
the work of twenty-eight men in less
than one-fourth the time. Under
these conditions the handling capaci-
ty of man and a magnet was nearly
one thousand tons in eleven hours, or
about nine hundred tons a day
Furthermore, the operation was
chargeable with less than one-fourtfl
the amount of overhead charges,
while the vessels were enabled to
double their number of productive
trips.-Cassier' Magazine

TRYING TO BE GOOD O.

New York, July S.-She's trying to
be good on sic a week Is 1t possible
for this little wisp OF a girl, just turn
ed eighteen, this social outcast who
figured SO notoriousiy in one of the
most sensational crimes of the decade
TO turn over a new leaf and live an
upright life in a big city on so meager
salary?
Everyone knows of Beulah Binford !:
her sordid story was printed broadca st
at the time of the Beattie murder trial
Beattie was put to death In the electric
chair for the murder of his young wife
on her account.
Does it seem possible now that this
girl, having always lived a life of i'm
morality and ease. can go pIodding
along like thousands of girls in New
York in a shabby dress. contented with
a fiat yellow envelope at the end of the
week? Beulah Binford thinks it is
possible.
AT present she is a telephone opera
tor and office girl in an office on one
of the side streets off Broadway. She
has taken another name and only her
employers, who gave her the job out
of pity. know who she is.
Her salary is only $40 a week. Out
of this she pay IS for her room and
two meals a day. Lunches and carfa-e
consume $2.10 more. The remaining
s1.s0 must do for clothing, incidentals
and amusements.

and proved the medium by which he
was later to accumulate his vast for

his brother and several others, embark

ginning of the petroleum industry. In
1870 then brought about the formation

PENNSYLVANIA wife-beatt

A PENNSYLVANIA wife-beater
was attacked by a mob and given a
sample of his own treatment. A
deputy sheriff was taking him home,
there to release him if his wife were
willing. She wasn't given the chance
to exercise woman's world-old foolish
goodness of heart in his behalf
There are a number of wife beaters
around here who ought to have the
same treatment.

There are just as good fish stories

The worst thing about a theory Is
that 1t seldom pays dividends.

the best sort of campaign oratory.
If some men should ever rise in the
world it would probably make them

The love of money that is the root
of all evil Is really the love of other
peoples.
