THE BRAVE MEN,

II IIE - 10 the men VINO laugh
IL In the face of grim despair,
Who gather the tares and chaff,
i L But SOW with cheerful air.
Here's to the smiling man
Who. giving, can take a blow
And rise to the fight again
When others have laid them low.
Here's to the men who grin
When plans that they build go wrong
And straightaway new plans begin
With courage and purpose strong.
Here's to the glad, brave men
Who, battling. expect bruise
And rise to the fight again,
Undaunted by fights they lose.
Here's to the men who smile
With faith in the morning light
And bravely await the while
Till victory crowns their fight
Here's to the fighting men
That always need not succeed
To rise to the fight again
The brave in defeat we need.

THAT VOTE OF THANKS.

The vote of thanks by the Ham
mond Chamber of Commerce to the
Chicagoans and others who rendered
assistance at Washington in getting
through the recent appropriation for
the breakwater at Indiana Harbor, is
in line with the policy adopted by
those who have been most active in
working for the appropriation from
this region some time ago. That the
policy was a good one is evidenced by
the results.
Up to about the time set for the
hearing before the board of United
States Engineers in Chicago, at which
the board was to decide upon its
recommendations to congress con-
corning harbor improvement at IN
diana Harbor, it had been the habit
of the Chicago press to oppose every
demand made from this region. The
idea seemed to prevail that the people
over on this side were trying to bene-
mt at the expense of Chicago.
Shortly after the hearing before
the board of United States engineers

various cities of Lake county, visited
the newspaper offices and asked the
city editors to '.cut out the knock

THE SALT OF THE EARTH.

These Institutes which the

LOOKING BACKWARD.

The angry housewife who kicks
against the high cost of living in
these days has none of the worries
that confronted her predecessor who
lived in Europe medieval times
A writer recently unearthed the
startling information that pepper, of
which you can buy several varieties
today for 40 or SO cents a pound,
used to sell for $40. Even as late as
the seventeenth century a pound of
nutmeg could be exchanged for a
good horse, and cinnamon was quot
ed at SIS for 16 ounces.
But very few could afford sugar
and olive oil and until little more
than two hundred years ago salt was
30 cents pound. Knives and forks
were only for royalty and china
dishes cost so much that the COM
mon herd had to eat out of wooden
bowls
However, royal and wealthy the
man who lived on this earth during
the middle ages, he hadn't even the
ordinary personal comforts that are
possessed by the family of $125
section hand today. The writer who
did all of this disclosing may have
dreamt some of it but readers may
take it for what it is worth.

SAMPLE CASE.

Twenty-three years ago, in an ex-
plosion of naptha on the steamer
Tioga, in the Chicago River. twenty
eight negro stevedores were killed.
The matter found its way into the
lawyers hands, suits for damages
were started with varying success
and, after the manner of such litiga-
ton, carried up.
Last Tuesday the United States
Court of Appeals decided that the
heirs of the twenty-eight victims
were entitled to $4,000 damages.
With the lapse of time every direct
heir of the identified dead has died or
disappeared The steamship COM
pany wound up it's affairs years ago.
The attorney that defended the case
and the lawyer that prosecuted it are
dead.
1t would be a good thing to trace
this suit step by step, learn just what
delayed it and see that no other case
ever dawdles along for twenty-three
years or anything like 1t.

that the cities would soon get into a

THE INSPIRED cANE-CARRIER

A cane lends dignity, gives a spick
and span appearance and goes far to-
ward inducing dignity to be your
creditor. A cane absolutely prevents
that absurd swinging of the arms so
prevalent among the present youth,
both male and female. A cane can be
used as staff, bludgeon, a cudgel,
shillelah, life preserver. With a
cane no license is required, no fear of
legal punishment possible. A cane is
the symbol of a gentleman, the
armorial of aristocracy, and the man
who carries one will probably find
that it adds considerably to his per-
sonal appearance, his income and
prestige during the year.-Letter to
New York Sun.

THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS.
BY JAMES a. EDoERToN

The DAY OF SMALL THINGS.
To stand on a mountain top 1t is
necessary to climb. This has been said
before. which only proves it's truth.
The higher the peak the harder the
climb.
Fame is a mountain top.
+ The climb to it is not alone. or
chiefly, physical. but is none the less
arduous.
Despite the bricks thrown at the
United States senate-on account of
the character or Affiliations of some Of
its members-it is perhaps the greatest
legislative body on earth.
Membership in 1t Is q station that
any normal man would wish to hold.
The other day l made up a list of
present United States senators, tabu-
lating their educational advantages.
early public positions and other like
facts.
Most of them were poor boys. While
more than half had college education.
many of these had to pay their own
way.
Forty per cent have been members
Of state legislatures.
Now. membership in q state legis-
lature is not considered a particularly
lofty station Some jokesmiths COM
pare going to the legislature with going
to jail.
Yet. with the right sort of man, serv-
ice in a legislature may not only be
worthy service. but may be a stepping
stone to something higher.
Despise not the day of small begin
nings.
One of these senators states in his
official biography that he has been
.'lumberjack. cowboy. clerk and cash
Ter in store. newspaper reporter. bod
carrier and lawyer"
This recalls q similar statement by
the present speaker of the national
house OF representatives. who says
| that he worked as hired farmland
clerked in country store, edited q
country newspaper and practiced law.
| These men are not ashamed of their
humble origin. They are proud of 1t
| They have a right to be proud.
1t shows the length of the climb.
The man who is ashamed of small
| beginnings may have real cause fol
shame of his smaller ending.
| Abraham Lincoln worked as a hired
/ farmland, clerked in a country store
| and also served in the state legislature
| Has he not made small beginnings

| The Prince of Peace was born in 9
