Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion; but no mother need hesitate to Write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge.

Completing his studies in Rome, | where he stayed three years, he had an dnvatuable opportunity of studying the masterpieces of the old world. An Eighteen Years’ Task. Upon his arrival in America he was as- Signed to missionary work. In traveling about the country he had little to occupy his spare time and he conceived the idea of constructing the wonderful pipe. The Plan mapped out, the execution was begun, and for 18 years the priest spent his time for recreation, averaging many hours a day, on what became the work of his Ife. He himself before his death estimated ihat e had spent on his treasure over 70.00 hours. The work was completed in 16. Owing to the conditions under which the ipe was made, being carried by its owner n his travels over the entire country. the course of its construction was intermingled with many adventures and narrow escapes from destruction. One October night in 1884 Father Ebe! was @& passenger on a train, bound for Louwis- Ville, Ky. He occupied a berth in the last sleeping car and slept with his pipe by his side. About 2 o’clock in the morning. while ing through some woods near Put- mamville, Ky., the train was derailed, the locomotive and most of the cars being over- turned heside the tr¢ek The cars caught fire and the entire train was buruned except =. oe ear, which Fa‘her’' Kbe!} occupied. the a of all his baggage escaped | was when the pipe had 1 Shy tn Pode bd ad been a | uly, 1892, route | om St. Lo ! ight train J stormy and he When he did so he placed his | § lise, containing his pipe, beside him. in| his berth and partially raised the window @s the car was close. At 4 o'clock in the | morning he awoke, and, finding the air cool, rai up to close the window. When he did so he noticed that his valise was gone He immediately spread the alarm. Unsuc-_ cessful search was made throughout the | ‘ear.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—‘‘Women.” said “Pat’’ Sheedy, who has an international reputation as a “square gambler,” at the Sturtevant House labt night, ‘‘are the best winners and worst losers at the gambling table in the world. Winning and losing affects a woman more than it does a man. “In the restaurants, near the clubs at Meee Carlo and Ostand, you can always tell when a woman is a loser or a winner.

What is worse, she doesn't know the game. “I know a splendid American woman who thought she could beat the ing her husband bet on the red while she played the black. There is a charming lit- tle American duchess who is the hardest player and best loser that ever sat in a game. Her continual cry is, ‘Papa, I need more money!’ Her father, who has mill- ions at his command, laughs, and ‘Dearie, I can't keep up with you the way you play.’ “Women play harder, because they play They do not bets.

It i# reported at the City Hall that the) attitude of the members of the Jouse | toward the water rates reduction bill has ‘| taken a turn unfavorable to the measure! since Butler's company, which proposes to supply water from the Missouri to city consumers, as well as to those in the coun- ty, was incorporated. -M’BRIDE MAY RECOVER.

McBride of 5608 South Broadway, who was found at Broadway and Chouteau avenue, Wednesday, unconscious. his skull having been fractured, was partially con- scious at the City Hospital Thursday morn- ing. 3 | McBridge was unable to state how he had sustained his injury. A watchchain was found suspended from his vest when he| arrived at the hospital, but no watch was'! ‘,attached to it. When asked if he had| possessed a watch, McBride said he had. | “This leads the polce to believe that Mec- Bride may have been a victim of a day- light robbery. None of McBride's relatives have celled at the hospital to see him. The hospital doctors believe he will recover. BARRELS OF WHISKY GONE. Express Company’s Wagon and Team Were Driven Away. A wagon belonging to the Charles D. Mor- rison Express Co. of Third street and Wash- ington avenue, St. Louis, containing five barrels of whisky, was driven away from the Great Western Printing Co.'s building Wednesday evening. The driver had gone inside the latter company’s office for a bundle of lithographs. | When he returned to the street the wagon | was gone. It was found late Wednesday night in the | vicinity of Twenty-second and Pine streets. The barrels of whisky and other articles, consigned to the express company’s care, had been removed, and the horse turned | loose in the street. KILLING NOT JUSTIFIED.

UNWORTHY SUSPICIONS. Letters have been received by the Post-Dispatch decrying the World’s Fair on the ground that, in the opinion of the writers, “somebody is going to make money out of it.”’ Such suspicions are petty and unworthy. 7 The gentlemen who have given their time to the preliminary work of the World's Fair have not made any money out of it. But they have put their inte'ligence and energy into arduous work of great public importance in which every man, woman and child in St. Louis is interested. Nor will the men who organize, initiate and carry on the actual work of making the Fair, be paid profusely. The sal- aries wil] probably not, in a single instance, equal what coulda be made in private business by the recipients. The truth is that these men are setting aside their own private concerns for public considerations. At any rate, it is certain that they are not in the World’s Fair for the money they can make out of it. They can make more in other business. It is time to bury petty jealousies and join heartily in a work designed for the benefit of St. Louis and all St. Louis- ans. Let all—rich and poor alike—co-operate generously to make the Fair a success. Its benefits will not be engrossed by individuals. 11 will be in the hands of men of high charac- ter and abilities, representing all interests, charged with high responsibilities, who will labor for the success of the Fair and the welfare of St. Louis. The community will reap the benefit of their labors. i i i Sa ‘ Going out of politics into city building is the very best thing that any municipal community can do. Cie Ovciectniettieniemes CHRISTMAS CHARITY. Not only is the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fund growing in cash, but subscriptions of food and donations of clothing are coming in. The generous co-operation of Mr. Nat Wetzel, the commis- Sion merchant, promises a supply of game and provisions from dealers all over the West and South. He has undertaken to receive and handle the donations which come in from his correspondents in response to his appeal printea in the Post-Dispatch of Wednesday. This way of helping the Christmas Festival offers an opportunity to many outside of St. Louis who may not have received special invitations to co-operate. Givers lose nothing by their giving. Their gifts bless those who receive them, but they return to bless those who give. - The spirit of Christmas charity profits all concerned. A ae i — The Illinois State tax rate has been fixed at 50 cents. This is double that of Missouri. a i THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TAX ELECTION. In calling a special election to vote dn a proposition t6 in- crease the tax for public school purposes from four to six mills, did the Board of Education give proper consideration to the subject with special reference to the municipal situation? These are the considerations to be borne in mind: Is it wise to hold a special election for a schoo] tax increase when St. Louis is preparing to devise ways and means to meet all of her needs and may secure the revision of the state constitution and the city charter? In view of the movement to provide for all of the needs of St. Louis, is it wise to separate the school needs from al) others and hold a special election when the city is unable to ‘ ‘meet the cost of ordinary municipal necessaries? The object of the increase is to raise -funds for emergency building needs. Is it wise to increase the tax rate for a build- ing emergency, thus assuring when that emergency is met too great a revenue for the maintenance requirements of the schools? Wouldn't it be wiser to have the building needs pro- vided for by a special fund? ————--—- eee The ship subsidy bill is likely to knock, out the interstate commerce bill for the present session.

ENGLAND’S SWARTHY MERCENARIES It is reported that the Chinese are very bitter against the Sepoy troops eniployed by Great Britain in and around Pe- kin. More exasperation is feit on account of them than on account of the white soldiers. The reason for this feeling fis, of course,.Wwell understood by Americans. The Hindoo troops are there for pay, not patriotism. They have been conquered by Great Britain and now represent nothing but brute force. It was not their ambassadors nor thetr mission- aries who suffered from Chinese disturbances. In South Africa a similar feeling prevailed when it was learned that swarthy troops from India had landed. The Boers could not understand this action on the part of Britain. And because of it, they threatened to retaliate by/ stirring up the Basutos against the British invaders. It would seem that some Englishmen are ashamed of this In a short story of the South African war Rudyard Kipling makes one of his characters assure the people of the Orange Free State that the English brought no Hindoo troops to South Africa. Why this prevarication, if the employment of these dark-skinned mercenaries is justifiable? —_—————_2 oe a The Saline County, Missouri, jail is empty and the sheriff has moved back to his farm.

Jt contains the best expression of the Christmag spirit that any writer has embodied in fiction. x _ Telling of the visit of the ghost of Marley, his old partner, to Scrooge, the stingy man of business, the story reads: “But you were always a good man of business, | an : Jacob,” faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this _ “Business!” ‘cried the ghost, wringing its hands again. “! d was my business. The common wel- ISPATCH. M4 ae ey] “fe Seth uct En ie, ; EX oe 3 a teas Ose y F bs Se ea wre es * ? my trade were but a drop of water in the compre- dhensive oceau of my business.” This answer of Marley’s ghost goes to the root of the mat- ter in its application to human relations. Our business and our daily calling is not an end but a means. It is but one point of contact with our fellows. We cannot shut ourselves up in it and flatter ourselves that we have done our whole duty. Particularly at the Christmas season, when the spirit of human brotherhood is abroad, the man who attempts to ig- nore the season’s opportunities must stand condemned. Dick- ens was a profound judge of human nature and he expressed a vital truth in putting the words above quoted into the mouth of Marley’s ghost. The common welfare is our “busi- ness” and we cannot afford to ignore it. The expansion of commerce that would come with a deep waterway between St. Louis and Chicago is much to be pre- ferred to that expansion which involves bloodshed and in- justice. If Congress were to attend to the pressing needs of the country it would not have much time to make war on weak peoples. = = A GOOD BEGINNING. The regeneration of St. Louis has begun. The meeting of citizens at the Mercantile Club Tuesday evening, called by the St. Louis Daily Newspaper Publish- ers’ Association, was the most representative body gathered in St. Louis for many years. Every civic and commercial organization, all the social Clubs, the municipal departments and the labor unions were represented. It was a strong assembly of men of character and intelligence. The committee of five appointed to prepare for the per- manent organization of a nonpartisan commission such as has been suggested in the columns of the Post-Dispatch may be relied upon to do the work well. It is composed of men of experience and tried capacity. It is not expedient, if it were possible, to anticipate the course of action of this commission. But the trend of dis- cussion Friday night pointed in one directiou, crystallizing around the suggestion of a constitutiona] convention, first offered by*Mr. F. N. Judson in an article entitled “The Mu. nicipal Crisis,” published in the Post-Dispatch Nov. 19. Thia is urged by most of the gentlemen best qualified to speak authoritatively on the legal phase of the subject. A constl- tutional convention will probably be recommended. But whatever the cunclusion of the commission, it is certain to be practical and efficient. It is a good beginning. is at last estate into which it has fallen and made a fitting place in Which to celebrate the World's Fair. Tuesday night's meeting, it is to be hoped, will be hisé toric as marking the turning point in the progress of the city.

He wrote to Mr. Frye, who, with Mrs. Frye, was away up on one of the Maine lakes fishing. Mr. Frye was so intent on his . sport that he handéd the letter to his wife and asked her to answer it. Mrs. Frye wrote to Senator Hanna say- ing that in her opin- ion Senator I'rye had done his part and was having delightful fishing. Mr. Frye was going to stay right there with her. Senator Hanna wrote back begging Mrs. | | Frye to let the Senator join him, and prom- | ising, if she would, that when he got back | for | he would do she chose to ask to Washington anything this proposition: “I will let Frye go if vou will box or seats, as | may there is anything at any ater that prefer, week as I may want to go.’ Senator Hanna ‘Your terms are accepted.”’ Mr. pay the bills.

THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS. HEN Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, W that, looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the trans#par- ent window from the opaque walis of his chamber, and suddenly the church tolled a deep, dull, hollow melancholy ONE. Light flashed up in the room upon the In- Stant, and the curtains of his bed were drawn aside by a strange figure—iike a man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions, Its hatr, which hung about its neck and down its back, wds white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. it heid a branch of fresh green holly in its hand, and, in singular contradiction of that win- try emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visibie; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm. “Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?” **T am!” “Who and what are you?” “TI am the Ghost of Christmas Past.” “Long past?”’ **No. Your past.» The things that you will see with me are shadows of the things that have been; they will have neo consciousness of us.”’ Scrooge then made bold to inquire what business brought him there. - “Your welfare. Rise, and walk with me!” It would have been in vain for Scrooge to plead that the weather and the hour were not adapted to pedestrian purposes; the bed was warm, and the thermometer a long way below freezing; that he was clad but lightly in his slippers, dressing-gown, and nightcap; and that he had a cold upon him at that time. The grasp, though gentle as a woman’s hand, was not to be resisted. He rose; but, finding that the Spirit made towards the window, clasped its robe in supplication, ‘1 am mortal, and liable to fall.”’ ‘*‘Bear but a touch of my hand there,” said the Spirit, laying it upon his heart, ‘“‘and you shall be upheld in more than this!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the walFP and stood in the busy thoroughfares of a city. It was made plain enough by the dressing of the shops that here, too, it was Christmas time. The Ghost stopped at a certain warehouse door, and asked Scrooge if he knew it. “Know it! I wae apprenticed here!” They went in. At sight of an old gentle- man in a Welsh wig, sitting behind such a high desk that, if he had been two inches taller he must have knocked his great reat less royalty from the government for every- body that doesn't have hydrophobia.” | “Much to my regret,’’ Wound up Mr. Lan- .dis, “I was compelled’to decline the offer.

' A Momentary Eclipse. From the Springfield Republican. ' The cause of liberty and self-govern-— ment, of humanity and consideration of | the rights of weak races, has, for the | moment, been eclipsed, and that, too, large- | votes of its professed friends. Their opportunity of protesting | afterward has not come, and we hope to see them active and persistent in the | work. They shall have what aid we can give them. But it is idle to deny that the sweeping extent of the Republican victory | will render their task a hard one. The’ supporters and advisers of the President in this business will accept the veridct at. its face value, and as an emphatic indorse- ment of what has been done, and popular command to go right on. .They will be dis- posed to heed very lightly the protesting counsel of those who have helped to greatly swell the apparent verdict for imperialism. Nevertheless, may the latter possess cour- age and persistence. Too True. From the Chicago Tribune. It was the first time Miss Pertie Good- | i ag evér seen the inside of a sculptor’s | studio.

Tennyson’s Table Manners. Once when Tennyson turned up tn Oxford during the long vacation the Max Muellers asked him to dinner and breakfast. The din- ner did not go off well because the fish sauce was not to the poet's liking, and the breakfast next morning was a domestic ca- tastrophe for the hostess, who saw him whip off the cover of the hot dish only to ex- claim, ‘“‘“Mutton chops—the staple of every bad inn in England!” It was to the Profes- sor, too, the Tennyson declared that the only advantage of the laureateship was that ne gouseatty received the Lver-wing of Cc en. ss - Se a it Takes a Long Time to : find out how long one of our suits will wear., Try it.

The Misses Cryder are so strikingly simi- lar in appearance that only their family can tell them apart. For this reason when they appear in public each wears qa ribbon around her neck that is distinctive in color. Other- wise their dress is identical. At the children’s dances, even her part- | ner frequently made the mistake of seeking | Miss Edith, when he meant to lead Miss Bisie over the floor or Miss Ethel. “My daughters have grown s0 sensitive,”’ Mr. Cryder said to a reporter today, “about the similarity of their appearance that they will no longer go out together on the street. They will not go to parties unless they have ribbons on their necks or arms to indicate them apart. “They have been in Europe at school for ten years and attracted so much attention when on the séfeet that they are really sen- sitive. ‘‘Not since they were 6 years old has their mother been able to get them to be photo- graphed.” OF INTEREST TO ACTORS.

Me- Laughlin, presiding elder of that denomina- tion in the Philippine Islands, describing the religious conditions and calling for more men assist in carrying on the work.

Information Given on How to Tell Horse Meat and a Fungus Dis- ease From Natal. Special to the Post- —. s WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Among the lines | ture during the last yeer have been a study of canine madness or rabies, thon and culture of several insects, an eX- amination of horse meat to determine how | it can be told by the purchaser, and te formulating of a plan to kill prairie dogs. Secretary Wilson, in his annual report, says rabies or hydrophobia ts apparently on the increase in the United States. There ‘country, 80 widely’ separated as to make - | probable that the contagion is extensively distributed, 16 children were bitten, was not suppressed On account of the expense to families in moderate circumstances, and because there is no Pasteur institute here, he recom- mends. “That the seeretary authorized to pay for such treatment of the appropriation for the Bureau Animal Industry in all cases where parties have been bitten in the District of Columbia, out of a laboratory at the capital be furnish appears that some additional is needed to enable this department to pre- vent the interstate extension and distribu- tion of this dreaded disease.’ The tnsect that fertilizes the winter and is now at work in southern Cal- ifornia, which promises soon to produce be impossible without this insect. A parasite has been imported from Africa that destroys that other parasite, known as the olive scale, a bug that has done much damage in American olive groves. a fungous disease of grasshoppers. “he ‘swarms of locusts have been destroyed. Parasites (have also been imported. An examination of the meat of the horse | has also been carried out. Nine samples were purchased ject of determining a horse meat could be easily under any other name. In so far as can be discovered this meat is net offered for sale in any part of the United States under its own name, and it is believed that very little of it is sold under any other name. The most economical method for de- stroying prairie dogs is under investiga- tion. A warning is issued againsts Belgian hares. Nothing is said about the value of |the meat or fur of the hare, but people ‘are cautioned against letting the hare get loose, for its increase is so rapid that in a short time the whole western country would be overrun with them. The secretary’s report. fills 76 closely printed pages, and gives in detail all the operations for the year of the various divisions and bureaus. 29 SOCIETY MOTHERS. They Tried to Bring Up a Waif, but Failed. | CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—This is a sad story of a waif who had twenty-five mothers and then went to the bad. When a small boy, many years ago—he is now l4—he was adopted by the Thursday Club, an exclusive society organization of matrons and misses. He was placed in a Glenwood home and $15 a month out of the ciub’s funds paid his expenses. Oh, how he was loved! The club members sacrificed bonbons that he might be kept in school at the manual training farm at Glen- wood, where $10 a month was required for his board. He was to be a lawy er when he grew up— that was all arranged. His name was to be widely known, and his portrait was to grace newspaper columns as that of a favorite of fortune, His name was Victor Thompson. but they method day boy waxed fat with pride. There wa: none like unto him at Glenwood. He learned that he could boss and command all of his mothers at once. When they came to see him in a special car—they really did this more than once-—-and when they distributed little presents to the other boys and big presents to him, he ew himself for the man he was. He laid down the law to the mothers, he ordered them ahem he outlined his future as he would lave it | The boy developed strange tendencies, considering the combined motherhood and refined environmry. He started out by whipping all the boys in the home. Then | he whipped his teacher because she ob- | Jee cted to cigarettes and beer. He was tossed out of the home for inflerent tough- | ness. He went to the waif's mission and 'found the address of hits one mother and | went to her flat at 27 Austin avenue. SAYS LODGE GOAT HURT HIM.

Purdue University Will Will Make a Novel ExhibA& LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 18.—President Stone of Purdue University has announced to the students and faculty of Purdue the purpose of the trustees to secure for preser- vation a collection of typical American io- comotives. A time has now come, hesratid, when certain classes of locomotives which have long done service on American roads are giving way to new and heavier ma- chines. In the natural order of events the old are being converted into scrap with the result that forms which have been familiar to past generations are in danger of com- lete disappearance. In view of this fact 1' as been thought wise for the university to employ its good offices in preserving sam- les of such machines as represent distinct vee. and to this-end the co-operation of lways has been invited. Consolidation ne a4 Distribution. From Cassier’s M Magnet The law of consol dation of capital and di- vision of labor holds as good in the field of distribution As in that of uction. It 1s inevitable and it is profitable.
