LOUIS FROM ONE CENT TO FIFTY DOLLARS “UNCLE BOB” PORESTALLING SANTA CLAUS. Snap Shot by the Post-Dispatch. Toys! toys! toys! For babies, giris and boys! Soldiers, Filipinos, Japs, peeein ee and rattletraps, Jollg with real hair, and cats Made of calico—and that’s But a few of Obristmas joys Meant for babies, girls and boys! This Christmas finds the shops chuck full of toys, many old acquaintances and not a few new. But they are all fine toys and will bring joy, everyone of them, to juvenile hearts. Twenty acres of toys! Just think of that, Sammy and Susie, and Mabelle and Algernon, and right here in St. Louis. Twenty acres makes a good-sized farm in St. Louis County, ‘yet here in the city that much floor space is devoted to the displays of Christmas toys in the stores. The manager of a store that has an acre and a quarter-.of toy space estimates it at twenty acres, and he knows. Prices? They run from 1 cent jack-in-box bought on the etreet to $50 hobby herse or $25 doll baby, which can’t speak after all. Baby dolls lHke babies are peculiar. A doll who can say ‘‘mamma’’ as plainly as any 20-months-old real baby is worth $3 at the outside. The figure with real human hair, Parisian costume and Gainesborough hat, who can’t say “mamma” or anything else, and sometimes can’t even shut her eyes when she is put to bed will cost $285. Dealers tell you it is all in the kid body and the Worth sults. Now come along with your Uncle Bob, children, and let us take ai little trip through. Toyland, St. Louis, U. 8S. A. What shall we find there? Ah, little Wil- lie. more wonders than you ever dreamed of; and more dainty things, little Maid Marie, than ever the fairies have whispered your ears, In Toyland let ue linger long; It is a wondrous land, Where dolly-wollies thrive and throng And painted soldiers stand; We will not seek the world without, Where chill the winds do blow; But here we'll greet, with merry shout, Kris Kringle and his show. In Toyland let us linger, then, O little girls and boys: soon we're women ly and men, Aud quit the Land of Toys! Tho Train of Cars and the Tunnel. You say yvur papa is a bank cashier, Al- Sernon.

But while the train is passing these so)- ie are go0od; they do not shoot; they are plombian soldiers, who have agrecd not to fire while trains are passing. But ley us go on, out of the tunnel, with a ‘“puly, puff’ and a rattiety-bang, aii eross dne great suspension bridge. The eelA run smoothly over the nickel-sice! iis. and there is no danger of a wreck. olw we are back at the place whence we atazted, but the train keeps on going and makes another spin around, and s0 on, un- ti] the engine siows down and must be und ain. , “Ryhen you take this toy home, Algy dear, u will require a big express wagon, ior tis 2 feet long when all put together; and you must have a whole room in the nursery to put the train in operation. his elaborate toy, whic is made in nce, woere tome live ag OF =e n of it, will cost your pa . s the costliest toy you can find in St, Louis.

Cheapest Toy In the Market. This jumping-jack is the cheapest toy in the market, but what of that? It gives joy to millions of kids like you, and there- fore it’s a good thing. Anything that makes a chj.d happy is a good thing to have in the family. - Ah, Marie! Here wésure! Now isn’t she a dainty thing? Why, your Untle Bob is almost in love with her himself, for she has real hair—the blonde kind that your un- cle admires. Who Knows but that it came from the head of one of your own grown- up sisters, who got tired of being the girl with the auburn hair and is now a bru- nette? She is a dainty dolly ‘ With real hair from Polly Or Maud or Nell or Kate; But let us make no guesses On these resplendent tresses— 'Twere crime to calculate! This doll will cost you $18 or so, and for *% more you can get a doil’s wardrobe, of quartered oak, two and a half feet high, the shelves filled with all the dainty lin- gerie and so forth that any weli-bred doll requires after her debut in society. You want a dolly, too, did you say, Sally of our alley? All right, Sarah, here’s one that suits the purse you have been sav- ing up to buy your own doll in case Santa Claus fails to find your house because your a has moved é@Very month since he lost is job. 7 : tte only a Httle dolly, but then that’s an advantage;.it is too young for society and won't need sO many ¢c.othes. The little ecambric gown it wears now will do, may- hap, until the Fourth of July, when it will be warm enough for your dolly to be- come a Cuban pickaninny and go naked. The Naughty Toy Man With Jag. Here’s a funny thing for you, Willle. It’s an imitation of the Knock-down babies at the summer gardens—five throws for a nickel. This fs.a-hollow cat, with a big open mouth. You throw the ball, and if it goes through the mouth it drops down into the pussy’s innards somewhere down there, Willie, and causes the cat to holler “meouw!’ That's great fun, and It’s some- j new.. het's this, you ask, Sammy? Why, it’s am toy, a wind-up wonder, made in F or perhaps in Germany. It’s a pugilist, and when you wind him up with that little key attached by a string, he'll knock out erry McGovern with his ‘“dukes.”’ Here’s another wind-up toy, but It’s a naughty fellow; it’s a man with a jag. What, don’t you know what a jag is, Sam- my? Well maybe your papa does. Shock- ing! Now. this fellow winds up and walks uneven like, swinging that bottle of Sara- toga water in his hand. That’s a tempe- rance lesson for little boys. Temperance lessons are not new, but this jagtime toy is. But you can stay here in toyland for- ever if you will. You can look at ten thous- and toys until the yearning hunger in your eyes makes the storekeeper want to tell you to help yourself to all of them. CAPT. VOSS’ BOAT IS SAFE He Arrived in His 40-Foot Canoe at Sydney on Nov. 20 and Continued Around the World. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.—~News comes from Australia that Capt. Voss and his lit- tle 40-foot canoe arived at Sydney Nov. 20, having made the voyage safely from British Columbia. At Fiji his mate, Lux- ton, concluded to go to Sydney by steamer so Capt. Voss shipped a sallor named Louls Degonte, but the man was washed overboard five days out and Capt. Voss made the rest of the voyage aione. He will go from Sydney to Ceylon on his. voy- age around the world. First Submarine Cable Which was made from an ordinary wire insulated with gutta percha, was laid across the English channel about fifty years ago. “It was glso about this sare time that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the world renowned dyspepsia cure, was first introduced to the public; apd its success as a family medicine during those years almost eclipses that of the sub- marine cable, while today it stands alone as the one reliable remedy for dyspepsia, indigestion, flatu- lency, constipation, biliousness, nervousness or in- somnia. If you are a sufferer from these diseases, it is because you have never tried the Bitters. Try it at once, if you would be well. It will strengthen your entiro system, and produce sound sleep, and good health must raturally follow. | APRONS. Another article for which there always is, at this season, a great demand.

7 ay 2 ¢ - ese ic J ap OF ARBITRATION SENATOR HANNA SAYS THIS END IS NOW IN SIGHT. TO SETTLE LABOR DISPUTES Zhe Board Will Consist of Nine Em- ployers, Nine Employes and Nine Disinterested Men. ‘Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—A permanent board of arbitration probably will be the result of the capital and labor conference in session here. The foremost representatives of capital, and workers for harmony between the con- tending forces have been in session two days debating the general questions. In ex- ecutive session on Wednesday they drew up &@ plan by which it is hoped that arbitration will permanently displace the strike in this country us a means of seitling disputes be- tween employer and employe. The conference will appoint a permanent arbitration committee of 27 men. Nine of these will be representatives of capital— Buch men as Charies M. Schwab, president of the Billion Dollar Steel Trust; Senator Mark A. Haina and 8S. R. Calloway of the American Locomotive Werks. Nine more will be the representatives of the working- men—such as Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; ihe- odore Schaffer of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers; John Mitchell of the coal miners and others representing over 1,000,000 of the organized unién men. The remaining nine will, be composed of such men as Bishop Potter, Archbishop Ireland, Apram 8. Hewitt, James B. Reynolds and others who have al- Ways stood for arbitration between labor and capitol. Senator Hanna made this statement to the Post-Dispatch relative to the conlfer- ence: “Everything is satisfactory as far as it has gone. We will keep at it until the cnd has been gained, and I will stay here until the work is finished. F “We have a practical goal in sight. We will hold another pubiic meeting for the Purpose of discussion. On Wednesday we will gO into executive session to work out our plan. “Part of this will be the appointment of an executive committee of twenty-sevcil. This will be a permanent body. It will be composed ually of employers, of repre- rentatives of employes and of men who are neutra]l.’”’ he present purpose is to make this com- mittee of twenty-seven a sort of supreme court for the a settlement of al! labor disputes of magnitude. The existence of such a body, it ‘is believed, wiil have a far-reaching influence and be a potent fac- tor for pacification in the small disputes constantly arising between local unions and individual employers. Strikes of great m itude, it is believed, the committee will avert, as its mission will be to enforce concessions both from capital and labor.

After selling his shoes for 10 cents to buy bread for his family, Theodore Cabbiac walked in his stocking feet to his home at 1223 North Seventh street, carrying two loaves which he had purchased with the money received for his shoes, Aithough alms might ‘have been secured from the Carr street police station or from other sources, Cabbiac was too proud to seek assistance until all his own resources were exhausted. Policeman Kappan of the Fourth district discovered the condition of the family and relief was furnished by Capt. Boyd from the Carr street station. F When the policeman visited the house the room occupied by the Cabbiac family had been cold for more than 24 hours, the last fuel having been used on Sunday. Six children were huddled about their mother, who was vainly trying to keep them warm and to hush their cries for food. The man said that a few crusts of bread had been the only food of the family for several days and that he had been com- pelled tosell his shoes because of his in- ability to get employment as a laborer.

“INQUIRY GONE AR ENOUGH -—DR. H. N. CHAPMAN. _— — 4 Physician Declares Dr. Ra- vold’s Admissions Are Indefensible. URGES HIS SUGGESTION CAUSES CONTRO- VERSY WITH DR. STARKLOFF. Mayor Wells Stops Argument, Declar- ing That Both Physicians Will Be Placed on Witness Stand—Next Hearing to Be Dec. 23. course, according to his own testimony, is indefensible, and we need pursue this inquiry no farther.” With this declaration Dr. Henry N. Chapman, at Monday afternon’s session of the tetanus inquiry commission, moved the cessation of the commission's work. Dr. Chapman's suggestion and his ac- companying remarks precipitated a contro- versy between himaeif and Health Com- missioner Starkio#, whick Mayor Wells ended abruptly by declaring that both the “Dr. Ravold's physicians would be placed on the witnesy } stand. The subject on which the argument be- tween Drs. Chapman and Starkloff cen- tered was the resolution for the discontina- ance of anti-toxin issues, introduced Pe- fore the board by Dr. Chapman after t&e first death from tetanus had been repcrted. Dr. Chapman said that Dr. Starkloff had opposed the resolution, and had called in Dr. Ravold, who had also condemned the pereenat to abandon the issuance of anti- toxin. “Dr. Ravold had the audacity to assure us,’’ said Dr. Chapman, “that his antitoxin Was perfect, and could not have caused death, even after the first death had re- sulted.’ “Why didn’t you pass the resolution?” Dr. Starkloff interrupted. You and Dr. Merrell could have done so.’ Mayor Wells Ends Doctors’ Argument. “We couldn’t get the question put to a vote,’’ Dr. Chapman replied. Mayor Wells stopped the argument as Dr. Merrell, the senior medical member of the Board of Health was about to join in the discussion. He said that the points which had been suggested would be brought out as evidence, by placing the physicians on the stand. On motion of Capt. Boyce Monday after- noon, Dee. 23, was made the time for the next meeting of the commission. Mos: of the time at Monday afternoon's session was spent in endeavoring to secure information from Thomas Buckland, as- sistant city chemist, about the conduct of affairs in the bacteriological division. Mr. Buckland’s replies were so unsatis- factory to the members of the commission that the mayor and ger Boyce repri- manded him sharply for his professed ig- norance of the doings of the bacteriological division. His reply was that he had spent his time in the investigation of subjects assigned to him by Dr. Telchmann, and had not been called on to notice Dr. Rav- old's work. homas Constable, a poorhouse inmate. testified that he carried to the bacteriolog- ical office the two flasks of Sept. 30 serum, one of which had been uncorked on its way to the office and had dripped in his pocket, put that not very much of the fluid leaked ou John Pearsall, clerk of the City Dispen- sary, and Charles Ernst and Jacob Fessen- meier, ambulance drivers, testified regard- ing the practice of distributing antitoxin at the Dispensary.

WILL RECEIVE $3000 POLICY Husband Commiited Suicide and Com- pany Had Retused to Pay Money to His Widow. An opinion sustaining the decision of the lower court was handed down by the state court of appeals Tuesday morning in the case of Clara M. Summers, who sued and was awarded judgment against the Metro- politan Life Insurance Co, for $3065.58. The case developed several nettling points concerning the right of the heirs to re- cover when the insured person had com- mitted suicide. Mrs. Summers’ husband, Dr. Thomas O. Summers, for two years professor of an- atomy in the College of Surgeons and phy- sicians, ended his life in June, 1899. He held $3000 life insurance with the Met- ropolitan company. The latter refused to pay the policy, con- tenaing among other things that Dr. Sum- mers, who teok out the ingurance but a short time prior to his death, killed himself because of excessive indulgence in mor- phine and iiquor; that when he applied for the insurance he did not so state in answer Cooling Off—Taking Cold.

Catarrh is a forerunner of most cases of | consumption. The presence of catarrh is evi- dence of a predisposition to the ‘*Withering White Plague.”’ Do not let it progress, stop it, cure it. Before it has reached the lungs you can do this with very little effort and ex- pense. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are a soy: creign remedy for the peculiar constitutional condition of systemic dyscrasia that permits of chronic catarrh. They drive catarrh out of the system and heal the evidences of its rav- ages so long as the destructive processees have not been allowed to progress to a point be- yond possibility of repair. They will cure catarrh of the head, nose, throat, ears, bron- chial tubes, and the alimentary tract, but if once lung substance is destroyed and in the cheeks the hectic spots burn brightly like sig- nal Jamps of death, then they are powerless to save. There is a point in the déstructive processes of progressive catarrh beyond which no medicine can cure, where no agency yet discovered will arrest or save. per- Be timely wise, cure your catarrh while yet is a/| it may be cured.

About six weeks ago I bought a 50- cent box of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets and I am glad to say that they have done wonders for me, and I do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are the right thing.’’ Mr. George J. Casanova of Hotel Griffon, West Dth street, New York City, writes: “I have commenced using Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets and already they, have given me better results than any catarrh cure I have~ ever tried.’’ Mr. A.

A Prevailing Sealine The “Blighting White Plague.” How Catarrh Does" In the Grasp of Consumption. ““My nostrils were almost always clogged up, and-I had to breathe through the -mouth causing an inflamed, irritated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nauseated me and the catarrh gradually getting inte my stomach took away my appetite and diges- tion. ‘“‘My druggist advised me to try a 50-cent box of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, because he said he had so many customers who had been cured of Catarrh by the use of these tablets, that he felt he could heonesily recommend them. I took his advice and used several boxes with results that surprised and de- lighted me. ‘Tt always keep a box of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets in the house and the whole family use them freely on the first appearance of a cough or cold in the head. ‘‘With our children we think there is noth- ing so safe and reliable as Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and colds, and with older people I have known of cases where the hearing had been serious!y impaired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new remedy.’”’ Send a postal card to F.

You will do me a favor to deny it and you cannot make the statement too emphatic.”’ Clarence P. Edna Noell In a head-on collision between two tran- sit cars at Wilmington road and Compton avenue at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday morning C. W. Law, conductor, was slightly injured and C. L. Bartley, motorman, received a fracture of the left leg. The cars were trying to pass each other on a single track. The accident occurred: an a curve. Car No. 1934 of the Bellefontaine division was- going north, in charge of Law and Bart- ley. Car. No. 683 of the game division was going south. Compton avenue ends at Wilmington road, and the car tracks make a slight turn here and run on Virginia avenue, In making this turn the street is very narrow, and a single track has been laid. The south-bound cars are supposed to wait for the north-bound cars to get over the single track. There is a double curve and it is not possible to gee that the track is always clear. Car. No. 1934 and car No. 683 started to traverse the single track at the same time. Right In the middle of the track they met. It was impossible for the motormen of .e cars to stop them in time to avert the ac- cident. There were several passengers on the rorthbound car, but none were injured. The southbound car carried no passengers. Bartley, the motorman of the northbound | car, was seriously injured. He was caught | between the cars. Besides sustaining a fractuft.d leg he was bruised and intsarnally injured. He was taken to the South Side Dispensary, where his injuries were tem- ,orarily ressed and he was sent to his ome at 2217 Chouteau avenue, FIRE IN SOUTH SECOND ST of 3$50C $2000 7 _ ‘J. . Ida M.

The charters filed there for new corporations in the last 12 months represent capital stock to the amount of $277,088,000. Texas will certainly have a large showing in the World’s Fair. “The coming of the World’s Fair should arouse and stimulate with women in — education, in music, 12 with women in all; in i; in science, with women in 6. The government is liberal. Yomen are found in 13 branches of the general government out of a total of 26. The state govern- ment has 12 departments or classes and women are admitted into 10. There are 2 classes under city and county government and women in 20 of them. These are remarkable figures, not anticipated by conditions 10 years ago. Will all the barriers be down in 1911? The mysterious Mr. Brown is doubtless congratulating himself that he has been the means of giving the Cardwell home-build- ing association a start when it might have had to await the law's delay. But it wasn’t to build homes that the hush money was provided. Ques = = * i i THE NEED OF PUBLICITY. One Democratic organ—the State Tribune of Jefferson City-- takes a sound view of the Cardwell case. In a plea for publicity of all doings’of the party committee it says: . There was more involved in the Cardwell inquiry than the personal and political characters of the members of the committee, although this of itself is an important matter. But it affected the Democratic party and the reputation and welfare of the state. No amount of dust throwing, sneering or subterfuge can relieve the Democratic party of the force of the facts brought out in the Cardwell cas¢, the odium of the disgraceful manner in which further revelations wére checked and of the attempts now mak- ing to mystify the public. Why is publicity so dangerous to the party? What has been done by party managers and lobbyists that the facts must be kept under cover and the very possibility of exposure makes them shiver? The fear of publicity and the subterfuges adopted to deceive the public are the worst features of the Cardwell episode. It is im- possible to avoid the suspicinn of vicious motives and corrupt deals when such desperate efforts are made to suppress facts. The Corrupt Practices Act designed and passed to throw the light of publicity on the pecuniary transactions of candidates and party committees is deliberately violated to hide the identity of corporate agents who supply camnpaien funds. The disgraceful buyirg off of a suit which ‘threatened the ex- posure of party machine deals is hailed with delight by partv managers and these managers and thelr organs try to bamboozle and befoo) the public. The fear of publicity shows the need of it. The peovle must know what the machine politicians are doing. There shovld he no possibility of hiding the betrayal of the people under subter- fuges and secret deals. Gov. Savage is doirg a great denl for civi'ization in setting the World's Fair machinery to work in Nebraska. "= = i is THE STUDY OF CHINFSE. Columbia Universitv. New Ycurk, proposes to establish a chair of the Chinese language. In view of the opening up of China to the trade of the out- side world this step is wise and practical. The time is not far distant when a knowledge of Chinese will be as useful as French or German and possible for the best service it will be an indis- pensable requisite.

People who do not have to pinch and pare to make both ends meet will find a Christmas thought in the sight of a poor woman shopping. The poor pay more for the little they buy than those who can command the market and anticipate the need by making their purchases at the most favorable time. When this poor woman buys coal, for instance, she gets it by the pail full. That means $20 or $25 a ton. Besides, she must carry it home herself. People who do not live from hand to mouth pay from $ to $7 a ton. Her children’s shoes, mitts, hats, in fact, all clothing are dearer to her than the same articles dre to the rich. She buys at. low prices, but the quality is corre- spondingly poor, and a pair of cheap shoes wears out very soon. These are a few of the disadvantages the poor struggle with, which should be especially in mind at this time. For such peopie the Christmas turkey is a rare bird indeed. The little children do not see a Christmas tree except in shop windows. For them the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival is designed. Turkey for all and a big Christmas tree for the little ones—that is what is promised this first Christmas of the twentieth century. a a Missouri political managers are not expert in the concealment of egg shells, and the Missouri hen declines to lay shellless eggs. quae. ~ |S = POOR OLD MEN OF 40. English employers want to know how to get rid of old men. Seymour Beil, British commercial agent at Chicago, attended a meeting at the London Chamber of Commerce last Thursday for the purpose of advising English merchants and manufac- turers how to hold their own against the Americans. One of the first questions asked was: ‘‘What do the Ameri- cans do with old men?” According tv the cabled report it was asserted that Americans do not employ men over 45 years of age. One speaker said he knew of one case where a man who had been receiving $15,.09 a year was now glad to get $15 a week. Another declared that youth, not ingenuity, was the cause of America’s progress. An- other said that the only way to save England’s trade was to re- tire the older men. This is a partial view. The Englishmen have been too hasty. There is a tendency in the United States to place business en- terprises in the hands of those best fitted to direct them. There s no dead line of age. Competence, not years, is the test. .mericans are too shrewd to turn out an old man to grass be- g2use he is old, just as they are too wise to employ a young man because he is young. Let the Englishmen be cpmforted, and utilize talent wherever they find it. —_—- ooo Rector Duckworth is doing a good work in reconciling us to cold waves. He declares that people who flee to tropical climates in winter lose more than they gain, their body and brains both needing the winter air. Six hours sleep in a cold room, he says, are worth 12 in an overheated atmosphere. —_ — — — /S MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, This will be a neighborly world when Signor Marconi perfects his invention. When Angelina goes abroad she will carry a little box of wires and magnets exquisitely attuned to Gerald’s heart, and the two will beat as one—he in St. Louis, she in Paris or Rome or in midocean. He can ring her up at any time and they can make love in dots and dashes in most romantic fashion. In larger but not more important matters the American Secre- tary of State and the British Foreign Secretary can have con- ferences to which nobody shall be admitted. They can negotiate treaties, discuss reciprocity, swap South African and Philippine woes—all without the intervention of diplomats and without fear of detection by the gentlemen of the press. In @omestic affairs the invention will be invaluable. Absent husbands can call up wives and ask about the children’s health ‘und the wife can pursue him wherever he goes. She will not Jet him forget her. In fact, as far as communication goes, everybody will live next dour to everybody else. Space will become a mere figure of speech, and a very small figure it will cut. In a very real sense the peoples of the earth will be knit together in a human unity from which diversities of race and interests will gradually disappear. = = oe —_ A private letter from Manila says that Gen.

Was it a good licking in school that taught President Roosevelt not to whisper? Mr. Carnegie hushes his conscience with dignified sums having a string attachment. It takes a dignified sum to do anything like the handsome thing in Christmas presents. Gen. Bell is active in the Philippines, but we do not yet hear the knell of the “insurrection.” Without extending a friendly hand to the Filipinos we get a shake from a Philippine earthquake. Happily the boy with skates is not in charge of the weather. He would give us zero every night.

Every consumer feels himself entitled to the slowest meter, which always appears to have a sufficiently rapid pace. = = " - All Conventions Will Be Here. From the Kansas City World.

Pp the stone puts all other ‘cities Ee es ee ee Cees Sere r hs ae oe A nie a asian 7 x Ck: GB ee “ ae an 20lo match at Peterhoff, Russia, resulting in the death of one of the players. From the account we take the following touch- ng description: Ilorse and rider still lay motionless. Was it possible that the shock could have killed them both? The man lay, just as he had been sitting, turned to one side in readiness to strike the ball, so that while his feet were still in the stirrups, his head and shoulders had fallen backwards on the zround. . At this deéeath-like stillness a shudder gassed through all that vast assembly, and in the carriage next to us a lady fell sud- denly back against the cushions fainting. Then two or three officers sprang forward to see what Kad happened, while the p ay- rs leaped from their horses to assist their fallen comrade. Never have I seen a sign of higher intelligence in a brute than was hen exhibited by that little Cossack pony. As two or three of the officers, stooping, took him by the head to raise him, he look- 2d up at them with pleading, pathetic eyes, as though entreating them to be very care- ful. Then s.owly, cautiously, he allowed himself to be drawn away from that pros- trate figure, raising himself as much as possible that he might not crush or injure his beloved master. No sooner was this weight removed than the officer’s body turned with a quick, con- vulsive movement, and the next moment stiffened as though suddenly changed to stone. It made every one shiver to see hat omtnous, ghastly motion. The horse was no sooner on his feet than, shaking his head free from the hand that held his bridle, and stepping, oh, so carefully, he assed around to see where his master 8 head lay. The great fur cap had fallen backwards, sesoc’ tony 8 the bronzed forehead bared. Then—the bystanders all the while looking on in pitying silence--the poor beast came close up and, puiting out his tongue, touched the officer’s face lovingly, licking the temples and brow, and running his nose caressingly under the chin, as though he would force his master to raise his head and speak to him. Finding this to be of no avail, he lifted his own head sorrowfully, and, looking around at the mute observers of this touching scene, gave a low, pitiful whinny. wh.ch said as plainly as any words could have done: “Can no one here help him?” A choking sensation came into my throat, and in the carriages close around there was scarcely any eyes without tears. sut there was no “> § He had injured his spinal column and snapped some ligament connecting with the brain, so that--ai- though he was taken to the hospita: and did not cease to breathe for several days— he was virtually a dead man.—‘‘Our Dumb Animals.”’ HAD HIS DOUBTS. An old German was on his death bed. In his earlier years he had led a wild life, but since the death of Schnelder, one of his boon companions, he had reformed and given up his bad habits. This Schneider in his day had been a mighty drinker, famous for his capacity and carouses. The priest was ministering to the dying man, consoling him with visions of the par- adise he would soon enter, telling him that he would meet there his old friends and what a joy it would be to see them al! again. The dying man asked feebly: ‘Will Schneider be there, your reverence?” Thinking to give him pleasure, the priest replied: ‘Yes, Schneider will be there,’’ “Ach.” said the other, ‘dat is very bad! “All dose Gringinge and eadings and fighd- ings all over again; all dot beer and whis- ‘But there will be no drinking in heaven,”’ said the ovriest. “Rut you said Schneider would be there.” “So he will,’ was the priest's reply. ‘‘and there won't be no dringings, you dink? Ach, yo don’t know Schneider.’’— Lippincott’s. HOW BIRDS DRESS WOUNDS. Many birds, particularly those that are prey for sportsmen, possess the faculty of skillfully dressing wounds. Some will even set bones, taking their own feathers to form the proper bandages. A French naturalist writes that on a number of occasions he has killed woodcocks that were, when shot, convalescing from wounds previously received. In every instance he found the old injury neatly dressed with down plucked from the stem feathers and skilfully arranged over the wound, evidently by the long beak of the bird. In some instances a solid plaster was thus formed, and in others bandages am been applied to wounds or broken imbs. One day he killed a bird that evidently had been severely wourded at some recent period. The wound was covered and pro- tected by a sort of network of feathers which had been plucked by the bird from its own body and so arranged as to form a laster, completely covering and protect- ng the wounded surface. The feathers were fairly netted together, passing alternately under and above each other and forming a Youth's Chronicie. textile fabric of great protective power.— - From “Leaves of Grass,” We do not blame thee, elder World, nor really separate ourselves from thee, (Would the son separate himself from the father?) Looking back on thee, seeing thee to thy duties, grandeurs through past ages bending, building, We build ours today. Mightier than Bgypt’s tombs, Fairer than Grecia’s, Roma’s temples, Prouder than Milan’s statued, spired cathedral, More_ picturesque than Rhenish castle-keeps, We plan even now to raise beyond them all, Thy great cathedral sacred industry, no tomb, A keep for life for practical invention. As in a waking vision, E’en while I chant I see it rise, I scan and prophecy outside and in, Its manifold ensemble. Around a palace, loftier, fairer than any yet, Earth’s modern wonder, history’s seven outstripping, High rising, tier on tier, with glass and iron facades Gladdening the sun and sky, enhued in cheerfullest hues, Bronze, lilac, robin’s egg, marine and crimson; Over whose golden roof shall flaunt, beneath thy banner Freedom, The banners of the States and flags of every land, A brood of lofty, fair, but lesser palaces shall cluster. Somewhere within their walls shall all that forwards perfect life be started, Tried, taught, advanced, visibly exhibited. Not only all the World of works, trades, products, In every state of practical busy movement, the rills of civilization, Materials here under your eye shall change their shape as if by magic, The cotton shall be pick’d almost in the very fields, Shall be dried, clean’d, ginn’d, baled, spun into thread and cloth before you. You shall see hands at work at all the old processes and all the new ones. You shall see the various grains and how flour is made, and then bread baked by the bakers, You shall see the crude ores of California and Nevada passing on and on till they become bullion, You shall. watch how the printer sets type and learn what a composing stick is, You shall mark in amazement the Hoe press, whirling its cyclinders, shed- ding the printed leaves steady and fast, The photograph, model, watch, pin, nail, shall be created before you. In large calm halls, and stately museum shall teach you the infinite lessons of minerals, In another, woods, plants, vegetation shall be illustrated—in another, ani- mals, animal life and development. One stately house shall be the music house, Others for other arts—learning, the sciences, shall all be here, None shall be slighted, none but shal] here be honor’d, help’d, exampled. ———eeeeeeeer Oe GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Silver gifts are always considered the handsomest gifts of all, even though very many beautiful pleces of small silver may be bought for moderate sums. A gift of this kind has the merit of making a good first impression, being useful and lasting— often passing down as heirlooms. . No china service at the head of the table, tea and coffee pot, can ever give the same ef- fect as silver ones, and in choosing a ser- vice select the shapes which are coples of the colonial styles. The most admired are the tall, slab-Sided ones and the low, fat and squatty sort. In many families one spoon or fork is given every Chrisimas by each of the con- nection to some member who lacks the re- quisite number, and in this way it is easy to secure a set. Give a pair of sugar tongs to the woman who has none—she is sure to want them very much. ; Spoons, Knives and Forks. Coffea spoons never come amiss and you can get them with each handle bearing a different floral device. The ‘handsomest Knives, dinner and breakfast sizes have pear; handles, and so have the salad sets, the fork and spoon. anon of the pandromest presents can er is a pair of repouse pe rs ers, and these cost from $10 to A ioe A Dainty Little Gift. For a dainty little ft at small cost a suger spoon is one the best.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Branding were buried side by side in St. Peter’s Cemetery, East St. Louis, Mcnday afternoon. Both died of aan pneumonia Friday. Mr. Branding died at 2 o’clock in the morn- ing and Mrs. Branding nine hours later at ll o’clock. At the time their three small children lay lll of the same disease and none of them is yet out of danger. Mrs. Branding’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Bartel, were ill Monday and could not attend the funeral. The Brandings lived in the country, four miles from East St. Louis. They had just completed a new house and moved into it when their illness came. In caring for her mother, a daughter, Charlotte, was seriously scalded by boil- ing water. Friends were the chief mourners at the funeral in the Evangelical Luthern Church Monday. None of the members of the family were well enough to attend. The church, however, was crowded with friends who drove to the cemetery after the ser- vice. The two caskets containing husband and wife sat side by side in front of the pul- pit while Rev. Henry Meyer conducted the funeral service. They were carried out together and placed in two hearses which led the long procession to the cemetery. Mr. Branding was a farmer who has lived for years near East St. Louls. He was years old. His wife was .

~INWIE ) PROPERTY HIs SIGNATURE NECESSARY TO MAKE TITLE GOOD. IMPORTANT COURT RULING Decision in the St. Louis Case of Koop- man vs. Kenredy—Other Supreme Court Opinions. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 17.—Judge Burgess affirmed the judgment of the St. Louis Circuit Court giving William Koopman $365 interest against Mrs. Eliza- beth F. Kennedy on money which he had held ip reserve to comply with a contract with her to purchase property in that city, but on which she refused him a good title. The facts are that Robert E. Kennedy, hus- band of Mrs. Kennedy, deeded this property to her before they were married and that when she sold the property she was not living with Kennedy, but their marriage relations had not been severed. She ten- ered Koopman a deed signed by herseif, but refused to ask Kennedy to sign it. Koopman refused to accept the deed to the property for which he was to pay $5600, whereupon she instituted mapondings to compel him to accept the be ed. Koopman then brought In a bill for interest on the money he held in readiness to comply with the contract and the court gave him a $365 judgment. The Supreme Court holds that a husband has in the property of his Wife an inchoate right of courtesy, of which he does not deprive himself or re- linquish by an enti-nuptual contract and that a wife cannot make a good title to preperty without the consent and signature of her husband. Hence an important point of law is laid down by the Supreme Court this case. In division No. 8 of the supreme court Was argued this morning.the case of Cir- cult Attorney Folk of St. Louis against Circuit Judge Talty for a writ of prohibi- tion enjoining the judge from compelling him to sign an information for a writ of quo warranto requiring Mr. Buckley, the Democratic member of. the House of Dele- gates of that city from the Twenty-fourth ward, to show by what authority he is holding that office. Attorney-General Crow argued for’Circuit Attorney Folk on pehalf of Buckley, and Attorney C. W. Rutledge of St. Louis appeared for Judge Talty on behalf of Buechner and argued for the is- suance of the writ of prohibition against the circuit judge. The court took the mat- ter under advisement and a decision wi'l not be rendered in the case until the next sitting of the court, which will probably be two or three weeks yet. Division No. 2 of the Missouri Supreme Court met this morning and rendered opin- jons in 18 cases. Among the cases decided a that of the Beattie Manufacturing Co. St. Louis against Anne Gerardi and C harles Clark to enforce a mechanics’ lien ° ainst certain newly improved property Anne Gerardi which hed been conv eyed te Charles Clark. The district court of St. Louis gave Gerardi and Clark judgment against the company and the supreme court this morning in an opinion by Judge Burgess affirmed that judgment. Presiding Judge Sherwood rendered an important decision in Division No. 2 of the Supreme Court this morning in the case of the State of Missouri against John Ha- mey, from St. Joseph. Hamey was indicted an ‘convicted of a violation of section 1838, Revised Statutes of 1899, raising the age of consent to 18 years. The judgment of the Buchanan County Court was reversed and Ramey discharged. RIGHT 10 GARNISHEE UPHELD Appellate Court Decides Against Wa- bash Road in Flanigan Case, Which Went From Peace Court to U. &. Supreme Court. The case of the Wabash Railroad Co. against Alexander Flanigan, which involves the small sum of $81.98, yet has becy tried in_every court from the peace justice's tri- bunal to the supreme court of the United States, was finally disposed of by the Bt. Louis court of appeals Tuesday morning. he important feature of the case dealt with the right of an outsider to garnishee the salary of an employe of the road. The appellate court's decision practica! ly up- holds the contention that such procedure is perfectly legal. In 1895 Alexander Flanigan instituted at- tachment proceedings in tne St. Clair Coun- ty Circuit Court against John Tourville, an employe of the Wabash Railroad Co. The amount due was said to be $81.98, but despite the judgment the Wabash refused to pay over Tourville's salary. we oai Was taken to the circuit court and e ju ment was affirmed. hen began a series of lega! proceedings that brought the case into various courts, until finally Tourville assigned his salary to Virgil Rule of St. Louis. _ The Wabash company also refused to pay Rule, and secured a temporary restraining order in the state court, after being defeat- ed in the federal court to prevent Tour- ville or Flanigan from collecting the money. The appellate court dissolves this injunc- tion a holds practically that the Wabash must vay oe judgment for $81.98 to Rule and Flanigan The litigation cost thousands of dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—If the cabinet position of secretary of commerce is es- tabblished, it is probable that former Gov. William R. Merriam of Minnesota willbe the first to fill the position. At any rate, his is about the only name that is at present being prominently mentioned in conection with that position. j Senator Nelson of Minnesota has intro- duced a bill for the creation of the depart- ment; President Roosevelt urged its crea- tion in his message, a majority of both houses of Congress seems to favor the proposition, and the necessary legislation will be pushed when Congress reconvenes after the Christmas recess. In view of the fact that there is no or- ganized opposition to the measure, it is considered probable that it will get through. This. Cold Weather. Leads youth to the thought of skating.
