Dreams of Gbilnboon

 To the golden days of morn, When life seemd all a shining track,
 A rose without a thorn The skies above are one vast blue,
 The earnth an emerald green While fruits and flowers of heavily
 hue
 Fill up the void between. l chamber up the bright green hills,
 Or bound OCT wood and plain; And hear the singing of the rills
 I'll never hear again. 1 pluck wild flowers in the vale,
 The fairest ever seen;
 Or bare my brow to cooling gale,
 And wander on the green l gather Chinquapins on the hill
 From grandmas favorite tree, And hie me down by the water-mill
 With a song and shout so free l count the myriad stars of night
 That glint the dome of heaven; Or kneeling in their mystic light,
 Pray for sins forgiven. l people all that happy time, With the friends of long ago;
 And hear again the songs sublime
 That used to move me so. How strangely sweet and sad these
 scenes,
 Through the weary mist of years, As they come OCT me in my dreams,
 And leave my soul in tears.
 Why is it that retrospect is near ly always saddening? I presume it is because, as a rule, we find in memory's urn only the dead ashes of our former joys and sorrows. Whether ones early life was sad or otherwise, it rarely fails to prove a depressing process.
 Many good people believe or claim to believe, that only little children can be happy in this world; that real felicity can be ex- perienced only in childhood, or not at all. Right here and now 1 want to register a protest against any such a narrow and distorted view of life. It belittles man and dishon- ors God. Not only should we grow happier and better each day as we grow older, but there should be no slow and painful journey down the western slope of life.

DOCTBER DRY
GOODS TRADE

Marshall Field & Co, in their week
ly review of the dry goods trade, say:
THE dry goods trade for the first
half of October compares favorably
with that of the corresponding period
a year ago. Retail trade in general
throughout the country is keeping up
remarkably well considering the fact
that the weather has not been cold
enough as yet to accelerate the distri-
button # heavier goods.
"Sa1es by travelling representatives
during the week were about equally
divided between Immediate and future
business Cash receipts in the whole
sale houses ore normal by comparison
with those of the corresponding week a
year ago, while there has been a mod
crate gain in the receipts from retail
business.
"A feature of the advance business
in white goods and wash dress goods
is the strong demand that has sprung
UP for tht higher priced novelties. In
white goods this demand is particu-
larly. for plain and embroidered crepes
plain and embroidered voiles. and for
ratines in the firmer weaves."

A LIVELY CAMPAIGN,

Today marks the beginning of the
last two weeks in the Gary city cam
paign and If events were as sanguine
as they were yesterday the steel city
will be as lively as the City of Mexico
for the next fortnight.
Both Knots and johnson men claim
victory Careful students say that the
finish will be neck and neck affair
and the closest supporters of Knots
admit that he has the fight OF his life
on his hands. Elements that were with
Knots four years ago are now against
him. OF course he has made gains in
other nuarters.
The citizens workers are quite op-
timistic and it was because of over
optimism four years ago that the
anti-Knotts men lost out. Knots was
elected by majority of rs votes in
1909.
Behind the banners of r. o. Johnson,
the citizens mayoralty candidate. are
the republicans. progressives and in
dependent democrats. Thus three par
ties are waging war against the Knots
ticket. There is a socialist ticket in
the field and Max Kirchman has
progressive ticket all of his own
and on Saturday George McGinnity
the pioneer real estate man. came out
as independent candidate for mayor.

BATTLE TO TIE.

The Clabby All Stars of Hammond
and the Gary Techs battled to a to 0
score at Ambridge field Sunday after
noon. displaying one of the most ex-
citing and bitterly fought football
games that has ever been seen at the
steel city. Although both teams took
the pigskin within scoring distance of
goal neither were able to push over the
winning point. The game was wit
messed by large gathering of fans
who travelled from nearly every city in
the Calumet region to see the two ri
val teams clash. There was no dis
appointment, the husky gridiron
warriors did their utmost to win the
laurels. The Clabbys and the Gary
Techs were about as evenly matched
as two teams could be and the game
was just see-saw from one end of
the field to the other.
With Hammond and Gary playing a
tie game and Indiana Harbor and Gary
playing to a II score week ago,
football fans are expecting a hard fight
for the county championship. East
Chicago also has a fast team. but their
relative strength has not been shown
