WEST CHESTER, Pa., Dec. 3.—After a test of four years, Israel Berry of West Cain has given up the experiment of raising snappers, having believed tirey could be reared with profit f@ the market. At the present time he is not the owner of a single turtle as far as he is aware, al] having disappeared, the last ones going during last summer. Berry has a large quarry on his farm, filled {t with water and started stocking by introducing several large snappers to it. Then his ducks began to disappear, and only the floating feathers remained to tell the tale when the entire flock was g£one. The snappers lived well, but during last summer decided to move, for some reason, and now Berry has only a crop of catfish in the pond.

SATURDAY- ST.LOUIS” POST: ‘DISPATCH DECEMBER 23, 1905 — ‘

Another Thousand Dollars Needed for Christmas Festival eee Generous Flood of Contribu- | tions to the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund Re- ceived Today, but the Amount Necessary Has Not. Yet Been Subscribed,

BASKET DISTRIBUTION IS UNDER WAY

Halls Are Being Decorated and Committees Are Hard at Work on the Various Fea- tures of Their Work for the Pleasuring of the Children and Feeding the Poor.

TRUOK LOADS OF PRESENTS SENT OUT Enormous Quantity of Material for Joy Assembled hy the Workers Who Are Actively Engaged in the Great Task of Preparing for the Sesies ot _ Festival Entertainments. em The 10,000 Christmas boxes, which are to gladden the hearts of 10,000 poor chil- dren of 8t. Louis on Christmas day, have all been delivered to the seven fes- tival halls, where they are to be placed in the hands of the children by Santa Claus In person Monday afternoon. The huge trucks, filled with boxes, were taken in big transfer wagons Fri- day night and Saturday morning from the box headquarters at Broadway and Pine street and hauled to the head- quarters of the seven districts, into convenience of Santa Claus and those who are co-operating with him in the Christmas festival. It had been intended to move the boxes in some of Santa Claus’ own sleighs, but the snow, which fell Fri- day, melted so quickly that this could not be done. The next best thing was done. The predicament in which Santa Claus had been left by the lack of snow was ex- plained to the St. louis Transfer Co and the Merchants’ Transfer Co., and they were asked if they would come to hig assistance. ransfer and express comparies are mighty busy just before Christmas,- but they said they would be delighted to give Santa Claus a Iift, ‘and they assigned wagons and electric cars and husky handlers for the job. The Merchants’ Express Co. did its part of the work Friday night because the electric express car could be loaded then without Interfering too much with The apportionment fdr the Ca- rondelet cistrict was taken as near to the hall as the car could get and the rest of the way in the company’s wag- ons. The St. Louis Transfer Co. attended to the distribution for the rest of the city. Half a dozen wagcns were sent to the building at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. There were 25 box trucks in the storeroom, each filled to the brim with boxes, some of them containing as 800 pounds, and they presented a prob- jem to the expert handlers. How to get them on the wagons was the question. It was agreed that diplo- macy was better than force and ma- terial was obtained from the Post-Dis- patch office with which a bridge was eonstructed across the sidewalk from the Pine street door of the store to the wagons. Across this the trucks were rolled to the wagons. Pedestrians did not complain about the obstruction of the sidewalk when they learned that it was Christmas boxes for the poor children that were causing the obstruction. When the wagons were loaded they were driven to the different halls, where committees received .the boxes. The trucks were unloaded and returned to the owners. The transportation of the boxes was under the direction of Jesse Eisemal. Tho filing of the boxes was the larg- est single task in connection with the Christmas festival. It was exceedingly well done by the King’s Daughters and Sons, under the direction of Mrs. A. H. Bippy. ‘Those who worked Friday at concluding the work were Mrs. J. E. Tawton, Mrs. Rebecca Knehans, Mrs. J. A. Gilliam, Hoxsey Gilliam, Mrs. W. F. Wood, Mrs. E. B. Osborne, Miss J. M. Greenwood, Mrs. C. L. Thompson, Mrs. H. H. Helbing, Miss Carrie Man- ewal, Mrs. Anna Helsner, Miss Gertrude Hawkins, Mrs. E. Kuntz, Miss Lexie Denyren, Mrs. W. L. Becker, Miss A. M. Adams, Mrs. F. Schwartz, Miss km- me Glazebrook, Miss Essie Shine, Mrs. Cc. Bo. Peper, Mrs. M. E. Saylor, Miss R. Prickett, Miss Aima Kuntz.

When police officials “borrow” money from vio- - Jators of the law or from those they have full license to arrest at discretion, the proper word to define the act is blackmail. Legally, blackmail is robbery in the third degree, It may not be possible to convict those who are morally guilty of this form of robbery, but the pos- sibility of doing so ought to be tested in the courts. It ought not to be taken for granted that the law provides no remedy against subterfuges in violating it to commit crimes which strike at the roots of public order and public decency. No matter what can be done in the courts, how- ever, the police force can be purged of blackmailers and of all others who have been educated by the methods of political bossism into the belief that it is a humorous proceeding to “touch” or “shake down” those they have the power to blackfnail. oe When “all former Kentuckians” arrive in Louis- ville next spring, how much lemonade will they eall for? ooo A REVIVAL OF COMMON SENSE. In announcing the policies of the new Liberal ad- ministration in England, Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- | nerman revives what was once familiar as the com- 4mon sense of civilization, though in the era of the Big Stick it sounds strange enough. The Liberal idea as he reviews it is of close co- operation between every country and all other coun- tries, with no threat of force and with the thought of the appeal to force as far removed as possible. It would take the pistol from the hip-pocket and waist belt, lessen swagger, lower the tone of con- versation from “concert” to conversational pitch, abolish bullying, decrease meddling and, instead of exploiting the “lower races” or the “lower classes,” give them all possible help to rise. In Russia the world is seeing a frightful exaMple of what Torvism, armed with the Big Stigk, works out in its final logic. The lesson means a great deal and one of the things it means is that no possible strength of oppression can make the world of the twentieth century a Tory world and keep it so. hp >. wwe St. Louis must not only have a free bridge, but a complete baby record. If 20 per cent of her new babies have not been recorded it is a serious matter, iiehii eee a IS “GRAFT” THE WATCHWORD? “Graft seems to be the watchword in every line of business,” declares John D. Rockefeller Jr. Graft, graft. Let’s see. Once upon a time—four years ago last September, to be exact—there was ® city official of St. Louis who said to a friend, with an air of finality. “The spirit of the age is embodied in the word GRAFT.” * He was a grafter himself and spoke by the card. Just one year later he was indicted by the grand jury in connection with one of the biggest boodle He fled from the city. deserted his business, abandoned his fam- ily and hid his face in distant parts of the eartn. Finally he was arrested, tried, convicted and sen- tenced to a term in the penitentiary. But he was finally relieved of the disgrace of actual service. Young Rockefeller may be right; the St. Louisan may be right: but honest men prefer to think not so. At all events, they have the satisfaction of knowing that graft, like sin. brings its own con- demnatior. eo ooo Southwest. Missduri’s zine and lead ore production for 1905 surpasses all previous records, the figures up to Dec. 21 showing an increase of about $1.000.000 over every other year. SNE ae IS THIS GRATITUDE ? After taking what is described in the langauge of popular financiering as a “large wad” of John D. Rockefeller’s oil dividends, the pastor of a church in Cleveland says: “We are glad to accept tainted money, It is not where the money comes from, but where it goes to that counts. The taint of ill-got- ten wealth does not influence iis value for church work.” “Of course not! Oh, no; not at all!” we may all say, if we wish to admit that and get it out of the way of the main question in such a case as | To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. thia. Clearly, the main question is of honor and grati- tude among those who handle tainted wealth. How about John D. Rockefeller’s feelings in a ease like thist Will. he be made more religious, more honest, more scrupulous, by those who pocket his money and then tell the public before his face they will sanctify its criminal origin by the use they make of it’ - __ ‘The keepers of tence houses which convert goods of doubtful title to theuses of innocent purchasers, have » standard of ethics which makes them go into who put them in possession of the wealth which under the law is “tainted” and “ill-gotten.” They feel bound to do this by their idea of honor and gratitude. And it does seem that ideas of hon- or and gratitude of some kind ought to prevail throughout the whole length and breadth of the question of sanctifying “ill-gotten wealth” by pock- eting it for high and noble purposes. >>?

It might help him to a happy new year. a et Oe aid ONE THOUGHT, $160 SAVED. The change of heart which has come over the junketing members of the House of Delegates is quite as startling as it is significant. Several weeks ago they made an all-day river trip up to the Chain of Rocks—-when they could have made the trip on trolley cars, supplemented by the city’s little line north of Baden—to inspect the waterworks plant and see if the Missouri River was still running. After they returned they put in a bill for $200 to the city to cover the expenses of the trip, alleging that the said $200 was spent almost wholly for eatables. The city looked at the bill and held its breath. Then it informed the junketers that it would not pay it; that. if $200 was spent on that trip, it must have gone to pay the expenses of a lot of deadheads and friends of the junketers. — The junketers retired into a corner and took a long think. Now they scaled their bill down to something like $40, and this the city will have pay. Recently a party of Kansas City aldermen jour- neyed to Ft. Riley, Kan.; Atlanta, Ga.; Los An- geles, Cal., and home again at an expense of only $374 out of the $500 appropriated for the trip. Our aldermen would have had the city pay $200 for a fifteen-mile trip which they could have made for ten cents apiece and the price of a safidwich. They do these things better in Kansas City. elie Naha AE ecnsincatncenercitien cients If new babies could know that they are not recorded, what a howl there would be. —— RE TEE ome LIFE’S ILLUSIONS AND REALITIES.

Leaving the question of his relative standing in the profession at large for further consideration, it is confidently submitted that Lincoln won a creditable position at the local bar, almost at the outset of his eareer, among contemporaries who were not only cap- able lawyers, but men of exceptional force and char- acter. Indeed, it is exceedingly doubtful if the bar of-any other State in the Union possessed as much native talent and ability as the frontier State of Itiinois when Lineoln won his spurs. STUDENTS AS NEWSPAPER READERS. From Leslie’s Weekly. A professor in Northwestern University has laid it down as an imperative rule for the students in his classes that they shall read the newspapers every day and thus acquaint themselves with current events. “I shall consider this,’’ he told them, “fully as important as the daily lessons assigned from the textbooks." There is more in this requirement than might appear at first glance. The educational value of a good daily newspaper can hardly be overesti- mated. Such reading every day, done -with care, thor- oughness and discrimination, is a university train- ing in itself; for broadening the views and enlarg- ing the scope of one’s sympathies and interests there nothing like it. It seems almost inconceivable that a man can be a good American citizen, alive to his duties, obligations and opportunities, and alert and intelligent in their exercise, if he is not a regu- lar and discriminating reader of some wide-awake and sensible daily journal. | LETTERS.

CHILD THAT SANTA CLAUS FORGOT A REMINISCENCE RECORDED FOR THE POST-DISPATCH

BY IZOLA FORRESTER. Tew happened a long time ago, the saddest Christmas I ever knew, but even now, after 20 years of merry ones, the utter loneliness and cheerless disappointment comes back to meas it came to the child that Santa Claus forgot. She was a theatrical child, It is hard to tell just what this wieans a perpetual whirligig of Jife that the home child never knows. Home? she didn’t have any home. Home was where the trunks happened to be. It was no wonder that Santa Claus had a hard time keeping track of her. Why, one of those very trunks had been her first cradle when she had been trotted off on the road at three months old, and cuddled down to sleep tranquilly in the tray of the theater trunk, while her mother played “‘Capitola’’ or “Billy Piper, with a kiss for her baby between the acts. But Christroas »ad always been Christmas, just the same, the trunks had happened to be, until there came one year when the company broke down somewhere way out in South Dakota, and a few of its members straggled back to New York in midwinter to try and pick up new engagements. There used to be a certain hotel up on the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Sixth avenue. It was 20 years ago, and the jingle of horse cars sound- ed under the elevated, and the Rialto was way downtown around Union Square. Whenever companies broke down, or engagements failed to mate-~ rialize, the Bryant Park Hotel opened its doors like the unfailing arms of hn mother, and gathered into its confines all the shattered hopes and for- tunes of “professionals” whose ghosts had failed to walk. There had not been any “manifestations” in the ghost line for weeks that Christmas, and the little mother’s face looked worried every day when she came back from her round of the agents’ offices with the same ttory of defeat. And Christmas eve a message Came for her. It was an ur- sent one. She had barely time to pack her “grip’ and kiss her two babies good-by before she was off to catch the first train for some dead-and-alive place over in Long Island. The babies were both asleep. One was 2 and.the other was 7. ‘‘Moth- er's great big girl” she had been callec, and when she awakened the next morning-—Christmas morning—and found not only her mother gone but empty stockings as well she forgot all about the title and just tumbled down in the pillows to cry. “The big dining room was nearly empty. Everybody slept late Christmas morning. Ferdinand, the colored head waiter, sat the two children up at their table and gave them their breakfast. He must have carried the news to the kitchén, for Louisa, the big, round-faced black cook, ambled cau- Uously into the dining room to investigate. “Whar you’ mammy gone to, honey?” she asked. ‘She’s got a Christmas engagement.” Even the half-sob did not drown the pride of the child's voice. It was sqmething even to have a Christmas engagement! “She's gone to Long Island to play Lady Isabel at the mati- nee, and Zoe the Octoroon tonight.” “Well, Lo’d bless mah soul! If you actresses ain't the curiousest folk- eses, Two babies all alone on Christmas—well, Lo’d bless mah soul! Fer- dinand, get. dem babies some more waffles quick now, son.” It was curious. After breakfast they went up to the parlor and stared out of the window at the crowds going to church. Billy Hart, the minstrel, found them there, and went out and bought them two huge red-and-white Then he laughed and played with them, and all three paraded up and down the parlor, singing: means. It ne matter where “Won't we have a jolly time Eating cake and drinking wine. All the high-toned colored folk Are at that golden wedding.” It was not exactly a Christmas anthem, but in all the peace and good-will of Billy's heart toward two kids whom Santa Claus had forgot. But the youngest one set up a wail, want my mamma!” and Billy gave up and rolled a cigarette. “This business is certainly hell, ain't it?” ‘he said, plaintively. ‘Poor little devils, going without their Christmas, while their mother’s off hust- ling for the dear old bread and butter!” After dinner they went upstairs two ‘lights to the back room. It was an interesting room. It overlooked the kitchen area. While it lacked the excitement of Sixth avenue, one might catch a glimpse of Louisa chasing the waiters with a frying pan now and then. And they were brave, too. They brought out all their old toys, and put a chair up on the table and made believe it was a Christmas tree. And they wound it with ribbons and bits of silks, and took the artificial pampas grass from the vases on the mantel to make foliage, like a real, true Christmas tree. But it wasn’t very much fun. You can make believe over nearly.evérything, but Christmas is an awfully hard time to try and make believe you're happy when you're not one bit. So the celebration ended in tears, and “mother’s great big girl’ cuddled her little sister up in her arms and tried-to rock Her to sleep the Way mamma did. And there was. a knock at the door at twilight. It was only “one of the girls,’ some pretty, curly-haired soubrette, with her heart over- flowing with good intentions and Christmas joy. “You poor, lonesome, bleesed kiddies, you!"’ she said. ‘It's a shame, so it is! Come on down to zen Pastor's and Au nt Louisa’ll give you some pres- ents.’’.- And the two were bundled mto coats and bonnets and hustled down to Four- teenth street to look at a big tree ablaze with color and presents, and get a kiss and a ‘Merry Christhmas” from “Aunt, Louis Eldredge.’ It was the only bright spot In the long day's dreariness. And the curly-haired soubrette undressed the two handsome “kiddies” put them to bed, turned the gas low and left them alone. So Christmas pessed them by and Santa Claus forgot them, but in the dawn of the morning after there came a tired, chilly, travel-worn little mother, and the welcome ghost bore her company. And she gathered the sleepy babies up in her arms and cried over them, and fed them nuts and raisins and oranges.

THE SCHOOL CITY By Frank Parsons.

The writer was present a few weeks ago when the first school city was organ- ized in Boston by Wilson L. Gill, the in- ventor and founder of the system. There were 700 pupils, all girls of the grammar grades. They were delighted with the plan, voted unanimously and enthusiastically to adopt the Golden Rule as the fundamental law of their school city, supplemented it with vari- ous provisions against disorder, destruc- tion or injury of property, profanity, rudeness, unkindness, etc., and showed remarkable discretion in the election of their officers.

The Mayor was a bright-faced girl of 124% years. When asked, shortly after the electign, what it meant to her to be mayor of Hancock School, she said: girl is or- derly, clean and good. It means that they must have good conduct. They must be clean and neat in their dress and habits. They must keep the school- And ‘That is a great task.

The teachers give instruction, and advice when it is needed, and the ultimate re- sponsibility and authority are always with them. But the students make laws and really govern themselves, although there is an authority above them. just as a grown-up city governs itself, al- though the Legislature may at any time revoke its charter. In fact, there is more real self-gov- ernment in these school cities than in most of our larger cities. For there is no apathy in the school city, no stay-at- home vote, no political machine or boss. There is no graft in the school city, no boodle on the Council, no “‘understand- ing’ between the police and wrongdvers. The 10-year-old Judge and the 12-year- old Mayor are absolutely incorruptible. Habits of good citizenship are formed while the mind is plastic, open to the full force of considerations of right and justice and free from commercial mo- tives and other influences that in later life so often interfere with the duties ef citizenship. The love of liberty strengthened and ennobled by recogni- tion of the rights of others and the ne- eessity of mutual limitations for the public good. Respect for law and au- thority is developed.

McAlear Has Faith in Boxmen. ‘Modern baseball is concentrated in the pitcher,’ said Manager McAleer. ‘How many a bad inning has started with that base on balls and how many games have been won and Iost through it? I have been told that the percentage of runners who score after having received a ‘pass’ is about one

scored, especially when one of my pitchers issued it. The art of pitching has been reduced to such a science that the box artist of today, to be successful must know exactly where he wants to put every balt he feeds the batter, and then he must put it there. There is a place for the base on balls. but it comes very rarely. The extra balls allowed a pitcher under the rules can be used by him to sreat advantage ifn trick plays, but he must be careful not to be too Hberal with them and regard them as a surplus to be handed out at any time.
