' Jas. R. Garfield for Secretary of the Interior;

~ HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The first week of the short session of Congress defined no issue which needs cause actual disturb- anee, though it defined a score for protracted dis- pute. The President's silence on the subject of rate regulation through Federal ownership and control, of national waterways was significant. It is only at this point that he reined up his restive impulse of Federal control for everything. Outside the White House, however, Washington seemed to be more im- bued with the idea of Federal control of national waterways and “Government ownership” of this kind than it has ever been. On Tuesday Senator Rayner of Maryland intro- duced a 1 :olution declaring that the United States Government has 1» right to join with any foreign Government in the attempt to control the public schools of the States. A clause of the resolutions called on the President to notify Japan and other foreign governments raising the same question raised in San Francisco, that the right to attend State schools without cost cannot be given by Federal treaty. This opens the way for a discussion which in both Senate and House is sure to be protracted and is likely to grow excited. The most important nominations sent to the Senate were of George B. Cortelyou for Secretary of the Treasury; Charles J. Bonaparte for Attorney- General; George L. Von Meyer for Postmaster-Gen- eral; Victor H. Metcalf. for Secretary of the Navy; Oscar S. Strauss for Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and William H. Moody for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The Senate had no objections to any of these nominations, it was said, but as the President had ignored the customs of Congress by withholding his message on the day of opening, the Senate thought proper to refer the nominations to committee until the usual message had been received and considered. On December 4, Oklahoma granted a charter to an electric interurban company, capitalized for $5,000,- 000, to build 170 miles of trolley track connecting important Oklahoma towns. The trans- Mississippi West, and especially the Southwest, is beginning a fuller response to what is probably the most impor- tant single industrial development of the past 10 years. When Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Texas, as typical states West of the Mississippi, have even the same mileage of interurban trolley tracks to the square mile that Indiana has now as its beginning, not only industrial conditions but -gocial life will be revolutionized for the better: The abandonment of “Zion City” by those who were once the cisciples of the Prophet Dowie was announced on Tuesday. ‘Another location is to be looked for by Dowie’s successor, Voliva, put this may be considered as the alosing incident in the history of what seemed the most formidable de- lusion since Mormonism began its work. As a Chicago institution, Zion City ‘once commanded mil- lions and rivaled the model town of the Pullman com- pany, while Dowie draw in more thousands in his double capacity of, prophet and high financier. It was one of ihe most remarkable developments of a period of over-excitement and its complete collapse is a — of the growing power of common sense. The most significant recent development of Amer- ican lawlessness belongs to the Southwestern district of Kentucky. The tobacco growers have been or- canizing for several years to “fight the trust,” and ‘the remarkable speech made py Congressman Stanley last summer on the operations of the trust in St. Louis and elsewhere was a response to this feeling of his constituency. It showed itself in an organized mob which, with every evidence of systematic prep- aration, burned buildings belonging to companies representing, or supposed to represent, the “trust.” The buildings were “lynched.” Of course, the’ in- “surance companies, not the trust, suffer the direct loss. Another piece of incendiarism worth notice in the same connection, is the attempt to use fire to settle the question of a public school for colored people in East St. Louis, in a neighborhood where some of the residents insist that the schoolhouse is wrongly located. The spirit of lawlessness is identi- eal in both cases, but in Kentucky it showed itself in open and organized defiance of law, lawlessness ' protesting against what it denounced as lawlessness. i petneemennenell Mobs formed in Madrid during the week and threatened the parliament house. Troops were held in readiness for street fighting, but the crowds of people in the streets went no further than to show their dissatisfaction with public policies. In Spain, as everywhere else, the element sometimes called “Reactionary” shows a compact front whenever change of ny + a> a The titled *foreigner who marries an fortune grumbles at no usury and borrows from all who will lend.

American Ly Les > wa S BOOKS, OWNED AND BORROWED. As Librarian of Columbia University, Mr. vames H. Canfield | -ys an indirect compliment to the “Car- negie” idea in his plan for “syndicating” the prin- cipal public libraries of the country. As a “syndicate” is literally a plan of “speaking together” for people who have the same purposes, its results in lending books without charge to those who need them, are quite different in purpose from che results of those whose purpose is to fix charges on what people need. There is no reason against a better understanding which would enable all public libraries to exchange surplus books with each other and to bring their total resources to bear at any given point if that were necessary. On the contrary, there are many good reasons in favor of doing it, as far as it can be done. Those who agree with Mr. Canfield have merely used the wrong word for the right thing. This would not be “syndicating,” but merely co-operating, as co-operation means “working together” through methods by which those who have a purpose for the common good can reach a common end without being either driven to it or away from it. The result of fuller co-operation among libraries and among the thousands of people who ought to support them, might be a very great development of their usefulness. It ig not too early now, however, to recognize their limits hen their usefulness is at the highest. The man who has a hundred good books of his own, where they are always in. reach of his mind and his hand, is better equipped than the man with no books of his own and a hundred thousand good books at his call in a public library. The public library habit at its best, is the habit of extensive research, through comparison. The hundred thousand good books repeat in different ways what the hundred good b vks of the right kind have in them. If the hundred good books are of the right kind, they are of the kind their owner needs for his own growth. If he gets all there is in them and cuSfirms it by extensive research, he is so much the more fully confirmed in his knowledge and often, though not always, so much the better able to give others the benefit of it. It may happen and it often does happen, however that as research grows more and more extended the power of giving others the benefit. of it is contracted. A score ot great investigators might be named who, after their experience with a hundred thousand books, could do | little more than communicate their ideas to the few who had gone through as many books as they them- selves had done. This does not count against trying to learn all that can be learned of any subject. What does count in favor of the man who “owns” his books

As a bed coVering it is claimed to be most hygienic. It disengages neither smoke nor gas and borrows no element from atmosphere, &my more than an incandescent lamp. It produces no elec- tric action. It warms persons and even the air: by contact. The thermophile carpet in fact creates the real heat-unit of the atmosphere, it warms the body, giving a mild and absolutely uniform temperature and finally realizes in the purest air a cool head and warm feet, the acme of hygiene. Cloth is woven with electric thermic threads and with all the most beautiful colorings in supple and light coverings for long chairs, or instantaneous bed warmers, or elegant counterpanes of great luxury, in which warmth is obtained at will and very simply. The electric thermophile is made generally so as to give &% per cent to 9% per cent Fahrenheit for car- pets and 70 per cent to 80 per cent Fehrenheit for coverlets, above the surrounding temperature. It can be made of al, temperatures, but those mentioned are the most agreeable in order to avoid being in- convenienced by too great a heat. FARMING ON THE YUKON. results of his experience in farming at Fort Selkirk, and these show that, taking one season with another, the crops raised and the prices received for the prod- uct are sufficient to cause the average farmer in the States to look to the North with envy. Oat hay, the chief crop produced, yields about three tons to the acre, and sells readily in the spring at from $100 to $125 per ton. Demand has never been lacking for all the hay the farm produces, since the Dawson-White Horse stage line, on which from 250 to 400 horses are used every winter for several months, passes within, a few miles of the farm. Potatoes yield from three to five tons to the acre, and bring as much as % cents a pound. The average price for a series of years has been a fraction over 20 cents a pound. Rutabagas yield six tons tothe acre, and sell for 6 cents a pound, or $720 an acre. Carrots yield three tons to the acre, | and sell for 15 cents a pound, a return of $900 per acre. Cabbages vary in production, according ‘to season, ranging from three to eight tons to the acre, and the price ranges from 15 to 20 cents per pound. It is an exceptional season when the Swinehart farm doeg not net its owners an income of $10,000.

ready when he is ready to use them. If one book is the book he needs most, he may get more power ‘from it by handling it a huncred times than if he handled a hundred books ten times or a thousand books once. This is “science.” A chemist does not know his own results until he has gone back to them over and over again. The man who studies nature in- stead of books must “refer back” constantly to the most common and familiar things. Ten acres otf the familiar world in reach all the time would mean more to him than everything in the jungles of Africa and South America, with all their wealth of things to be learned. The man who uses books with real “science” gets actual knowledge from them by “as- similating” it, which nreans by making it his own through its likeness to what he has already. When he owns his own book and refers back to it the hundredth time, he may assimilate the highest thing in it by its likeness to what he had got out of the same book by handling it ninety-nine times before.

If the Kidney nerve goes wrong you know it by the inevitable result—kidney trouble. This tender nerve is only one of a great sys- tem of nerves. This system controls not only the kidneys, but the heart, and the liver, and the stomuch. For simplicity’s sake. Dr. Shoop bas called this great nerve system the ‘‘Inside Nerves. They are not the nerves of feeling— not the nerves that enable you to walk, to talk, to net, to think. They are the master nerves nd every vital organ 1s their slave.

Latest reports show that not less than 100 herds are affected. The death rate is about 40 per cent of those affected. The veterinarians are prescribing an internal antiseptic as a preventive and firsi treatmen.. hey are atso_ prehibit- ing the use of milk and butter from at- fected herds. The first cases were noted at Colfax, about two years ago, and the germ at the time was supposed to have been transmitted from a human being affect- ed with spotted fever. The germ 3S known as “diplococcus,” and is ideati- cal with the human germ, Four places in tits county have af- fected herds—Vincent, Barnum, Burn- side and Guowrie. In addition reports have been received from Dallas Center and Broxholm. At the latter place one farmer lost nine horses. The affected animals off their feed’’ at once, and whether they die or live are almost a loss from the start. All dead animals are either buried or burned at once and no attempt is made to save the hides, which are forbidden to be touched. DOCTORS WOULD SEND MOTORS TO THE SEWER.

fA ae eS a a NEW WRESTLING CHAMPION

‘ There was a scene of animation on Broadway in front of the Post-Dispatch Bullding at 1 yesterday afternoon, when the huge Oldsmobile of somber gray was brought to full stop at precisely 1 o'clock and itg engine was stopped, afte er having completed 100 hours of cone tinuous running. There is not a street in St. Louts not traversed by the biz car between the hours of 9 a. m. Tues- day and 1 o’clock Saturday. The dls- tance of over one thousand miles was traveled and less than 45 gallons of gas- oline were consumed. The figures show slightly more than 4 gallons. One of the pecullar features of the test was the consumption of gasoline on Friday. It being almost double.that of anv other day during the run. Th's is easily accounte4 for by the fact of the engine consuming more gasoline when the car is onerated under greater speed and the machine was sent through I's paces on Fridav and Friday evening tn A manner calcrviated to prove heyord @ doubt the efficiency and endurance of the enegtne. ' After the car had hecome the center of Interest for more thay two hundred curions snectators and the staff phe- torrarmher of the Post-Diepatch hada placed his camera, there was a whirr and a click and the engine came to an instant stop without so much as one faulty revolution to mar the final mo- ment. Ordinarily an automobile engine, after a long run, will sputter and gasp and throw several fluky back revolu- tions when the stop lever is anplied. After its picture had been ‘‘took,” the big car was backed a few feet and the engine was again started. To start it there was required the presence of the Post-Dispatch representative who h

Fn ‘To a slight degree, yes, but We are willing to make the same the summer and the tempera not materially interfere with the work- ing of the engine.” Mr. Corkhill. ‘This is the fifth teat of the kind I have made. The first was Chicago and In the second one at De- troit the engine was kept runmees for 20 hours. I made teste in Cincinnati and the last one was made in Kansas City. This machine is the demonstrat- ing car of the Union: Automobile Co. and has been subjected to considerable wear and tear. Yet we gave it no over- hauling*® in the beginning and tt Is ob- vious that we could not make any re- pairs while {t was running, for it was sented up.’”’ : The test was a most satisfactory one, and Mr. Corkhill fs ite tnaugurator. He was the first to try time runing of the automobile engine, and the records he has made reflect great credit upon their originator.

Did you ever see a fighter who was not looking into a mirror? Vell, the average boxing man has more vanity in his make-up than a woman. Watch a fighter waiting for a train in the subway. It’s funnier than a circus. First he saunters over care- lessly and drops a cent into a slot ma- chine to get a piece of gum. He doesn't chew anything milder than plug cut. He doesn’t want that gum any more than you do. All he wants is a chance at the mirror that hangs over the machine, First, he takes a quick glance as he drops the penny. While he is reaching for the package he has time to raise his eyebrows twice to see if that scar over his eye shows in the dim light. He is satisfied until he sees the re- flection of his cauliflower ear. Leaning closer, he scowls as he inspects it care- fully. Finally, convinced that it will pass for an ear, he straightens his nose with the fingers of his left hand. The result satisfies “im, and he smiles. About that time the bell rings. He jumps for a car—and carefully selects a seat that will let him see his own re- flection in the mirror across the aisle while pretending to read the ads and watch the station signs. Props Up the Rars. If you follow him out of the Subway you'll find him five minutes later leaning on a bar with both elbows to make his shoulders look broad, and grinning at his reflection in the mirror behind it.. He orders a lemonade because it takes long- er to make one than to draw ‘a glass of beer, and he gets more time to look at himself. The “coming champion,” as long as he keeps on coming, is usually petted until he learns to look upon himself as one of the most perfect works of a wise providence, and he likes to look the part. The tougher the fighter the more sen-

So it was not an unusual thing to have the announcement made that a. race meet would have the attraction of the presence of E. R. Thomas, the noted driver, when E. R.

pos In both leagues these December meet- ings are to be termed house-cleaning sessions, and the real business of squar- ing away for the coming season’s work will not be begun until the later meet- ings.

Johnson is good for five more years as president of the league, and seeing the harmony created by the doing away with an annual election of a presi- dent. the National League magnates will probably make an effort this year to fix a three-year term for their chief execu- tive. Among other rumors comes the one to the effect that Lave Cross will leave the Washington team. No significance is attached to the rumor of Cross leaving. He has a two-year contract with Wash- ington, and this contract does not expire until the close of the season of 1907. There is no way to forecast the changes that will be made. While sev- eral {mportant trades and exchanges are known to be in prospect the deals have all been on the quiet and there is little to be said. Anent the schedule question before it is dropped.

LONDON TIMES 1S CORPORATION NOW Change Discloses Odd Tangle Through Family Control of Property, LONDON, Dec. 8.—The transformation of the London Times from individual proprietorship to a corporation was in- éevitable, even in a country where cer- tain evolution is resented and retarded. The great newspaper property for more than a century has been as powerful a factor in shaping political destinies as the Sovereign or Parliament. The change has brought about some interesting disclosures in the proprietary rights of the Walter family, which are complicated beyond description. One of the rights enjoyed by a branch of the Walter family was that it should receive for @& years all the income de- first column of the first page. This was a wedding gift, made to some ancestors of the present owners, and has been observed faithfully up to this time. The change, after a proprietorship run- ning through four gencrations, is mere- ly a measure of self-protection. The original shares have become so subdi- vided that the paper now has 150 pro- prietors who hold shares varying from one-half of one-sixteenth of the whole property possessed by the head of the Walter family to the fiftieth part of the one hundred and fifty-second part of an original one-fifth share. The divisions are enough to make the head of a legal mathematician buzz. The exposure of the Pigott forgeries by the Times cost an immense amount of money, and it was impossible to de- clare any dividend. Some of the pro- prietors got as low as $40 a year. Some of the smaller ones had to be bought off, when actuated by political hostility they threatened to drag the whole con- cern into the Court of Chancery and compel a disclosure of its affairs. Un- der the joint stock arrangement Arthur Walter secured absolute control of the property and its policy. WANTS “JIM CROW’ CARS IN CAPITAL Alabama Representative Would Evade Race Riots in Washington. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Representa- tive J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama is convinced that the recent race troubles in the South and the subsequent unrest caused throughout the country are ad- ditional arguments for the passage by Congress of a bill providing that the street car companies in the District of Columbia shall operate two-car trains, one for the whites and one for the ne- gro passengers. “I shall reintroduce my bill calling for this action,’’ he sald, ‘‘but I shall make some changes in ,its provisions. Last session I introduced a Dill providing that the companies should have sepa- rate compartments for the two races. “The measure which I shall put in this session wifl provide that the front , car shall be for whites and the rear car for colored people.| I am not advocating this because of any dislike for the col- ‘ ; ‘ dealer t idered r REAL ESTATE AGENTS tation ie a vicigtion of the law... os fogel department.

Nothing is further from my thoughts. “I am convinced, however, that it is to the interests of all to avoid fric- tion between the races so far as may be possible, and this street car law which I want would go a long way to- ward accomplishing the desired end. The bill will go before the Committee on the District of Columbia, and have strong hopes that it will be passed. I shall do everything in my power to bring about such a result.’’ HISTORIC MOUNTAN ALMOST PIERCED Digging Gang Soon to Meet Under the Lookout Battlefield. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 8—Only 130 feet of earth remains to be pene- trated before light is reached in the tunpnel which is being constructed for the Southern Railway through Lookout mountain. This will probably be com- pleted by Dec. 15, and not later than Dec. 20. The Southern Railway is plan- ning to give a Chritmas dinner to the engineering party and the superintend- ents of the H. H. Thrasher Co., should it be completed before Christmas. If the two gangs of workmen who are working from either end meet exactly, which the engineers now believe will be done, it will be one of the most notable feats of engineering accomplished in the South. The measurements have been made with the utmost -care, as the slightest error in the working out of the g‘gantic mathematical problem in- volvec is liable tu prevent the two par- t'es from meeting by a number of feet, which would throw the work back several months or more. If the tunnel was to be perfectly level the problem would not be difficult, but in the tunnel through Lookout mountain there is several vertical curves and much grading to consider. The greatest credit for this undertak- ing is due to D. G. Seymour, resident engineer of the Southern Railway, who has had the complete charge of the work on the Stevenson extension, In- cluding the tunnel. He has been in charge of the corps of engineers who have been assisting in making the measurements. When the tunnel is com- pleted, his name will head the list on the bronze tablet, The work is being delayed a few days because of a cave, which ts apparently bottomless. This is the second cave dis- covered during the work, the first being a’deep hule which was finally filled. NO WAITRESSES, THE DININGROOMS CLOSE. Two Hotels in Same Town Are Victims. YANKTON, 8.

re After a Hot Debate Objections to the References to Rum and Wine Are Silenced by Suppression of the Edition. BOONVILLE, woman's tongue in Boonville is wag- ging vigorously because of the clash be- tween the Ladies’ Aid Society and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union over the Boonville Cook Book, just is- sued, which contains a number of recipes calling for the use of whisky and rum in the preparation of a score of delicacies. As a result of the warfare waged by the temperance forces the book itself has been edited with a blue pencil, and the “dastardly references’’ to rum have been cut out. Husbands whose wives cook by the Boonville system. will be forced to eat the plainest of food. There is one man in the town, how- ever, who is giving all the others the merry laugh. He is the husband of the woman who wrote the cook book, and he says that his wife has the original tepy of all the recipes and will follow them in their own home despite the storm of protest on the part of the temperance workers. Not long ago the “adies’ Aid Society hit upon the plan of publishing a cook book to raise a needed sum of moncy. Long and patiently a number of women worked on the culinary directions and finally it was placed on sale.. Members of the W. C. T. U. happenec to run across some of the recipes calling fr the use of wine in making mince meat, and the war. started.

QO RTS AND _ Athletic Performers of America Who Particularly ~ Most Successful | - of Baseball Seasons Pra By VJ. A. PHELON. It was a great season, that of 1906. There was noth- ing disappointing about it—excepting for the teams “that didn't win any flags, and the National League ampions that did not get horseblankets in the grand finale. It was a 8eason full of fine playing, “work both individually and colectively, and varie- fi ‘pwated excitement for the fans. It was not a specially Ab \ \\ 3 PliaLansnwyiy a warlike year, even between the umpires and the “Players. The bird of peace managed to retain about 4 Zi egur=s0BilY}y, ) : ‘99 per cent of her tail feathers, and didn’t get the WW ; ‘id NWang \V} ‘pid. In the main and on the whole, the season was y My finn =a just about as good as anyone could have desired, | 4 er am “when you take into consideration the fact that we f | oa MSE Sey, \ : can’t all be winners ‘ PU Gh Pees eee Matte, A light batting year was anticipated, as the hit- LL edn en “ty “ting in the american was miserable -in 190, and all SP eace éfforts to get batting reform had been headed off by “the National magnates, who thought this was their hance to put one over on Ban and his crew. Every- body settled down to an anticipated feast of perfect ‘pitching and fancy flelding, but hardly expected any “swatology. -The Wonderful White Sox Club, The season proved just as ‘kaleidoscopic as had Fheen expected, but there was more hitting in the American than in the National. Yet, despite the “mproved hitting, the lightest batting team in he “League won out at the finish, and left the rest be- ‘Wildered. This light hitting, however, is really a Helusion and a snare—a snare which overthrew the “other American League teams and overwhelmed the aughty Cubs ‘at the finish. Nobody can bat on ~Comiskey’s grounds, dwing to the slow infield, which delays the runners going dowg to first and makes it a cinch t> throw them out. As the Sox play 77 games down there, and the other teams only 11 each, the effect, in the averages, is to kill off the Sox and make them look feeble. Yet, away from home, the “Sox bat all right, and, of course, have their own “advantages on the South Side grounds. *! The story of the great series between the Cubs and Sox is a story of victory for the under dog and the direful overthrow of self-confidence and vaunting am- bition. The Cabs thought their task too easy, for- getting that the one weak point in their own armor , q ‘was their inability to pelt southpaw pitchers, and | : Bs : aes “they got it good.

Pugilistic Outlook Anything but Bright By MYLES J. BURKE. Not since pugilism was introduced in America, 9 yoars ago, his there been such a rarity of really first-class: fighters as during the present year. Con- sidering even the fighters of only ordinary ability, the men in the ring of today, who are really pro- ‘frseional boxers, and worthy of such distinction, can ‘be numbered on the fingers of both hands, Such a statement may sound far-fetched, but it is correct, nevertheless. Why this decline, when there is more opportunity for success, the financial remuneration greater, pun- ishment and liability to serious injury less by far than ever before? No doubt the fact that boxing has recently met with sevére reverses, until at present Chelsea, Mass., Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles and the Nevada mining camps are the only locales of bouts of any consequence, is, no doubt, responsible in a way for the lack of interest by men who might take up pugilism much as they would any other profes- There are but 12 men in the six different classes who are fighters worthy of the name, even at the present time. They are: Frankie Neil and Jimmy Walsh, bantamweight, 115 pounds; Abe Attell and Harry Baker, featherweight, 122 pounds; Joe Gans, Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt, 122 pounds: Billy Mellody an@® Joe Thomas, welterweight, 142 pounds: Philadelphia Jack O’Brien and Hugo Kelly, middle- weight, 158 pounds, and Tommy Burns, heavyweight. Sad Contrasts What a contrast with a few years back! George Dixon, Pediar Palmer, Kid Lavigne, Frank Erne, Tommy White, George Bernstein and numerous light were as well known’and as good, if not better, | the champions of the light weights of today. In the lightweight class Joe Gans, who was beaten by Frank Erne and other fighters six years ago, ig the undisputed lightweight champion and practical- ly ip a class by himself for a 20-round contest. fhe welterweight division is a farce, go far as the men fighting these days at 142 pounds is concerned. Joe Walcott, who has been fighting for 16 years, has been, up to the present, able to defeat all of the up- rising crop of men in his Class. Age and dissipation finally did what punches could not accomplish, ana Waloott lost .to Billy Mellody, whom Walcott coula have knocked out in four rounds when at his best some seven years ago. Another instance: Joe Thomas, because of the fact that there are so few men in the class, was creaited by some authorities with being the welterweight champion. Al Neil, an old-timer who never accom- plished much, met Thomas regently and gave to the mew wonder all he could handle in a 10-round pout. Besides Mellody and Thomas there are practically welterweights in the ring today, with the excep- Willie Fitegerald and a few more men who heavy for the lightweight class and too light welters. In fact, Thomas fs too heavy for welter clags and is really a middleweight. ae. an but two active middleweights who are } from the days when Tommy Ryan, Kid i 2 Seal teat / . 5 i alll €. pv” Gs Pe Nye > A , a 6 “ A , , 0) ee Moai an , * ,

held forth in the middleweight class, besides numer- ous others. Strictly speaking, since Jeffries retired the ring has been without a heavyweight, with the possible ex- ception of Jack Johnson, the negro who might just as well be off the pugilistic map for the reason that he is unable to get battle. Burns is nothing more than a light heavyweight. Nevertheless he holds the heavyweight championship title. John L. Sullivan, Jim Corbett, ‘Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries smile when they think of it, There are but two bantamweights who are ever heard of these days—Frankie Neil and Jimmy Walsh. Owing to the few even promising men in their class, both have been fighting at the feather- weight limit, although they can make bantamweight— 115 pounds. The bantamweight class is. practically a back number because of the lack of men in the division. Joe Gans, Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt are three good lightweights. Kid Herman might be in- cluded in the list, but he is too light for a light- weight and too heavy for the featherweight, and a very ordinary fighter at best, so that he must be left out. Jimmy Gardner is at times a capable fighter, but he is so unreliable that it would be impossible to class him with the men of the class of Jack Mc- Auliffe, Kid Lavigne, Frank Erne and ‘Gans. That Gans holds the lightweight championship demon- strates how the boxers of today are retrograding in skill and ability. Attell by Himself | At the featherweight limit Abe Attell is in a class by himself. Attell could probably hold his own with any 122-pound man that ever put up his hands for a bout up to 2) rounds. Harry Baker, who has had but three professional fights, is the only man in the ring who can make the featherweight limit and put up a respectable battle, outside of Attell. Tommy Murphy of New York is a light lightweight and was beaten by Attell, a featherweight, and Mc- Govern and Young Corbett are nothing but heavy featherweights and has-beens, 7 Considering these facts, it is no wonder that first- tlass fights during 1906 were about as sca're as snow- balis on a red-hot stove. To tell the honest truth, there was not one fight that for a contest could class with the bouts of even say a few years ago. Joe Gans and Battling Nelson, on Sept: 3. at Gold- field, Nev., furnished the only fight that really ex- cited the attention and interest that was aroused by the big mills of the past. The fight was a crude affair. Nelson rushed, clinched, hauled and shoved his opponent about. Gans was weak from making weight and was continually on the retreat, jabbing and trying to wear his man down. The pout dragged along until the forty-second round, when Gans was declared a winner by Referee George giler on a foul. Whether Nelson really hit Gans low is a ques- tion, but at any rate the negro retained his title of lightweight champion. Tommy Burns and Philadelphia Jack O’Brien met in a battle for the heavyweight titie, purng’ main object throughout the contest was to clinch and to inflict body punishment, which weakened O’Brien to guch an extent that the contest was cajied a draw. O’Brien in the bout demonstrated that ne is a clever middleweight, but he lacks a punch and has no business in the heavyweight class, which leaves pion iy

Golf Crows Slowly but in Sound Fashion By ALEXIS J. COLMAN. In backing up the assertion that golf more than held its own in 1906 two powerful arguments may be adduced. The prosperity of the golf ball manu- facturers, and secondly, the increased attendance upon the public courses. The advent of the rubber- cored ball six years ago caused a great uproar and protest because of the added expense to the pas- time, but the players who had to keep in the front of competition quickly found themselves using it, The lively sphere flew straight and true in the course of public favor, wormed its way through even conservative British and Scotch customs, and today the man who uses the solid ball is like the dinosaur —he does not exist—and the balls themselves are scarce as the proverbial roc’s eggs. American ingenuity kept pace with the demand, and numerous brands of the winged ball came upon the market, the worthy ones to stay and the fakes to drop out of sight. The good ones have been im- proved, and during the past season enjoyed un- precedented sale. Use of the new ball, too, advanced the standard of skill, for players of golf are very much like other human beings, in that they wil! take a bit more care in using a more costly article than with one which can be obtained for half the price. Public links are coming more and more Into gen- eral favor, and that municipality which, say, in five years, has not its public course will be a curi- osity. Golf is such a good in itself that it wing pop- ular approval by sheer merit. It is not Primarily a spectacle, but @n exercise, and it exists for the physical betterment of the individual rather than for his entertainment. In this golf 1s radically and fundamentally different from baseball and football, which are spectacles for the many, while exercise for only 18 or 22 men. Public Links New York, with its public course at Van Cort- landt Park; Chicago, with the perpetually crowdea 18-hole course at Jackson Park, and with a new course now in process of construction at Garfield Park—these are two shining examples of the recog- nition by up-to-date park poards of the trend of popular desire in recreation. “Give the people what they want, and do it In no half-hearted way,” should be the motto of park commissioners. Posterity will certainly rise up and call them blessed for the great benefits conferred upon the people at large, for anything which serves to get the business and pro- fessional man away from too close confinement to hig office, out into sunshine and congenial exercise, is a real, lasting benefit to the community at large. Zo, all in all, these great life-saving institutions known as country clubs and golf clubs are fuigi. ing their several missions most satisfactorily, ang Col. Bogey, impresario and entrepreneur of it all, sits back and with placid satisfaction sees in his mind's. eye the millions of balls driven from the tee, swiped with brassey through the green, ap. proached and putted.

Athletes Achieved Glory in Greece By JAMES &£, SULLIVAN. One feature of the past season which stands out pre-eminently and which is bound to go down in his- tory is the brilliant success of the American team at the Olympic games at Athens, Greece. The per- formance of our representatives made every Ameri- can heart beat with pride. We beat all nations by a big margin. Were it not for an unfortunate accident to a couple of our men on the way to the games we would have been still further ahead in the grand total. It is immaterial where games are held or under whose auspiees. The fact that America shines prominently in the records is credit enough for its athletic followers. The Olympic meeting brought out the superiority of the American athlete. His best points were seen to advantage and his qualities cor- rectly portrayed. Almost in every event on the pro- gram the American showed greater skill. The speed of the sprinters, the stamina of the middle distance runners, the agility of the jumpers, the strength of .the weight men and versatility of the natural born athlete were everywhere noticeable. And it was shown that when it came to gevelopment of men, American ideals are right. A scrutiny of the past season's new marks show that we have not yet arrived at the limit of human ability to improve on standard records. Less than a decade ago there was a general impression that to beat 94-5 seconds for the 100 yards was beyond the power of the athlete. Most of the prophets are alive today to see a record of 93-5 seconds go on the books for Dan J. Kelly, a blond-haired flyer from Eastern Oregon and a member of the Multnomah A. C. of Portland. Evidence of the strongest kind was fur- nished to the A. A. U. Record Committee that Kel- ly’s record was achieved in the most correct way. Timers, judges, measurers, starter and civil engt- neers sent affidavits that the minutest detail toward a record-breaking feat was observed and leaving no doubt in the minds of the Record Committee of the genuineness of the performance. Kelly will be all alone in his glory in holding the title and will be in possession until some other phenomenon is devél- oped. On the afternoon he ran the wonderful 100 yards—the occasion being the Northwestern A. A. U: championship meet at Spokane, Wash., on June 3— Kelly won the 220 in 211-5 seconds. He is now joist holder of the rce-ord with B. J. Wefers. Kelly gave still more forcible evidence of his claim to the ranks of an out and out topnotcher by winning the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 9 Inches. He has a better record than that, for he previously cleared 24 feet 2 inches, the best jump of the year in any country—America, Europe or elsewhere. This work of Kelly is a positive proof of the growth of athletics in the Middle and Far West and a’ fore taste of what the West is going » do in athletics in the future. It is perhaps a matter of only a few years when nearly all the records will be to the credit of Western men. Il'p to a few years ago the records were held by athletes tn the East, but as track and field sports became popular toward the Rockies the prestige of the “ast began to dwindle. Last season witnessed the most remarkable compé- tition of its kind ever held in the world. It was the schoolboys’ contest arranged by the Sunday World of New York. Prizes were donated to the Public Schools Athletic League and in the preliminary games no less than 20,000 boys Participated.

The results are, of course, not evident now, but it is in years to | A - at Cost of Boxin Wrestling, always one of the greatest of sports,, has, during the last two years, enjoyed @n unprece- dented boom, There are today abundant indica- tions that the grapplers are destined to come still further before the public in the immediate future, and to remain in a favorable light somewhere near the front of both amateur and profersional sports. There are reasons for all things, and two great reasons why wrestling shot forward of late months. One reason is the persistent attack on boxing which | is being waged in all quafters of the country, until one can count on the fingers of his hands the spots available for big battles of the ring, and the other is the prair worthy methods which have been adopted and followed by the greatest wrestlers now before the public. : As boxing has been crowded out wrestling has found favor. When we have our greatest wresuers conscientiously adhering to a determination to win, and win honestly, at all times possible, we are &ar- riving at a condition of affairs which must demand applause.and support for those responsible for it. Most prominent of the men of the day is Fred Beell, the Wisconsin Midget, who recently defeated Gotch at New . Orleans. A striking figure amongst the wrestlers of today ig ex-champion Frank A, Gotch of Humboldt, Io., whose conduct has adduced more to the growth of the sport than any other thing.. Wrestling and wrestlers had staggered a bit when Gotch arrived. The sport had passed through various stages, Whist- ler and Acton were but memories, and even those later day artists, Evan Lewis, the Strangler; Mul- doon, the great Greco-Roman expert; and Matsada Sorikicki, the Jap, and Duncan McMillan were in re- tirement leaving as survivors before the public Dan McLeod, the Scot; Farmer Burns, even then a vet- eran, and Tom Jenkins, the Cleveland roller mill hand, the greatest of his time. Five or six years ago, at this period, the suprem- acy of Jenkins was scarcely questioned by the grap- plers. McLeod, McMillan and Burns had all tried to throw him in vain in handicap matches, and they put the stamp of merit on hig performances when they offered to back him with their own money against Evan Lewis. It is not on record that Jenkins per- mitted this match to be made, for he was young and green at the time and the Strangler had a terrible name in those days. Really Lewis passed and Jenkins came without a decisive test between them. Jenkins’ reign was long and successful, at least against American talent. His right to the crown was unquestioned when Gotch, a green farmer boy, first tackled him in his home town—Cleveland. That was more than half a dozen years ago. Jenkins won, after a stoubborn tussle, the first fall of which lasted over two hours, and neither man off hig feet. Failure in that match, in which he belleved bad coaching lost him the title, nearly drove Gotch out of the wrestling business. He threw his tights away and returned to the lowa farm. Many Woked for a complete breakuown in Gotch following that reverse of fortune, but the big fellow gritted his teeth. Turning to his adviser as plans for the future were being discussed, he said: Other great men are Farmer Burns, the veteran, who, thanks to his temperate methods of life, has outlived his old-time associates.

He paused long enough at one of Dublin’s humble homes to leave one of his precious gifts with a proud Irish family. That child of the “Auld Sod,” who began life on Christmas Day, 1838, is now known to all St. Louisans as “Colonel” Edward Butler, millionaire horseshoer and former po- litical boss. ‘ Christmas has always been a red letter day in Col. Butler’s life. It is even more so in his old age. Each Christmas morning he gathers around the family fireside his children and his grandchildren, and he and his wife, who has stood loyally by him for 45 years, distribute presents among them, and do everything they can to compel the spirit of St. Nicholas to prevail. “I suppose about the happiest Christmas I ever spent was along about the close of the war,” said Col. Butler to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “I don't remember that I ever spent an unhappy one, but this Christmas impressed itself particularly upon my mind because it marked the period in my lfe where I felt that my work and my wife’s econemy tad placed me on an independent footing. “It was four or five years after I started out in asiness for myself. My two oldest sons, ‘Jim" and ‘Ed’ were then little fellows. I had been working bard, day in and day out, and my list vf Customers grew longer almust trom the very day { »paacd nv shop. All the money I earned that I did not need fn my business I touk home and gave to my wife, she was a woman of good judgment and knew how to economize. I felt that I was doing the proper thing by entrusting her with my surplus in- eome, Wife Kept Savings In Little Dank. "She had a little square steel bank that she kept hidden away in the house. We were living then at Tenth and Market streets. She put all the money I gave in the little bank. I did not know what she was doing with it, but 1 felt in my Own heart that it was being taken care of properly. “On the particular Christmas morning that lL bave in mind, Mrs, Butler said that she was gving te open the bank and see how much money we had, We had been married about five years, and ‘Jim @nd ‘Ed’ were just big enough to sit up and take notice of things. She asked me to roll the bank out of the closet where it had been hidden. It was evvered with dust, in a dark corner, but | went boldly at the task. I seized it by the corner aaw to my great surprise it was so heavy that | could bardly lift it. “Well,’ | said, when! rolled it to the middie of the floor, ‘you must had dropped in a few horse-shves ‘in this bank for good luck. This is about the heayv- fest thing I've tackled in a long time.’ “Indeed, I haven't,’ she said, ‘that bank hasn't got anything in it but gold.’ “Ry a great effort I lifted the and Mrs. Butler got the key and unlocked the door. Well, 1 could hardly believe my eyes. It was chuck full of gold. Five, ten and $20 gold pieces rolled out on the table in a heap when I tilted the corner. The boys were playing with their toys In the :or- ner of the room, but they heard the jingle of the ‘gold and came running over to see the yellow coin. * ‘It looks like we've got a right smart Job be- fore us counting this money,’ I said. You can sit on one side of the table and I will sit on the other, and we'll begin counting.’ “E began counting the gold and laying It aside in piles of $100 each and Mrs. Butler did the same. We counted for several hours, and when we had finally completed the task we found that there was $70,000. bank to the table, Saved $70,000 to Please Husband, “T] was never so surprised in my life. With tears in my eyes I got up and walked around the tabl2 siand put my arms around my wife and kissed her. “* **T just saved it, Ed,’ she said. it's all ours. 1 didn't know how much we had, but I thougnt it ' would surprise and please you.’ “Well, it certainly dbl, and I hardly knew how to thenk her for the good judgment she had used in taking care of our fortune. I| don’t remember now ‘how we spent the balance of that Christmag. day, but I suppose the ‘kids’ had all the good tuings they wanted—they always had for that matter— and I think Mrs. Builer concluded that we were rich enough to buy a new cress pattern that she had been admiring. "We talked over what we would do with the ‘money and decided that St. Louls rea) estate was about as good a thing to invest In as we cou!) find. That is what we did with the most of it. Now don’t you think I had a right to be happy on such a Christmas day?” Col. Butler dropped back in a great, easy chair in the parior of his home. He lighted a cigar and puffed away at it vigorously. His eyes scanned the ceiling, and for a few minutes he seemed lost in de@p thought. It was clear that he wus living over again the Christmas that passed Over hig head 4 years ago, when he Was still young, and the pos- session of a fortune of $70,000 made him a rich man for that time. “If 1 had this life of mine to live over again,” ne continued after a little while, “there is just one thing that I would change. I'd cut out politics. Looking back over the past, with its pleasures, sor- rows and triumphs, I find but the one thing that 1 Se.iv"*!y regret—my connection With politics, “The gum as it has been played in St. Louis for the last ten ycars ts too hot for me. If I had kept of politics, uu4 devoted my entire attention to I would be ac'shing up at this age a pret- man. As politics -«- now run it fg not ft ‘a business man to be Miacd up tn. t Rave always paid my Just Gebts, told the truth, been loyal to my friends, kept my promises— but the one thing that gives me most satisfaction in my old age is that I have always loved my family, and tried to give my wife and children all the enjoyment of life that I could. “Around my Own fireside I have found my real happiness. I have now retired from active business life. I have turned my eight horse-shoeing estab- lishments over to my son, and I spend the greater part of my time in the companionship of my wife, who has been responsible for whatever success lI have achieved. Every day when the weather Is such/that I can, I have the family horse hitched up’to the buggy. I take my wife, and pile in as many of my grandchildren as I can, and go driy- ing. It is a comfortable and healthful way for an old man to pass away his declining years, “I got interested in politics when 1 was a young man. I think it was tn T8963 ‘that John Finn, a per- sonal friend of mine, was running for mayor. I wanted to see him elected, and got out and worked among the boys. He was beaten, but somehow or other the Hiking for politics gZrew on me, and I stayed in the game until it ¢ so corrupt that I couldn't endure it any longer. I never wanted to be a leader or a boss, but I wanted to be led or bossed right. Sometimes it was necessary for me to take a prominent part, and when I did my ticket nearly always won. “But when it got to the point in St. Louls where a man, to be successful In politics had first, to be a liar, then a thief, and finally a murderer, I thought it was time for me to step down and out. You can't find a man in politics now who will tell you the truth. ‘“‘Now look at this last campaign in St. Louis. A man has only to study that to find plenty of reasons why he should keep out of politics. Over at the city convention, for -instance, the delegates hissed Folk’s name. Now I don't suppose there was any-

Those who followed the trials from the beginning remember how loyally they stuck to him. Wherever Butler went his faithful -wife and song were at his side, and his grandchildren were following along be- hind. Seldom had such examples of family devotion been brought to light. Batler’s Rules for Happiness. Butler says that the only true road to happiness, basing the opinion upon his past experiences, ts strict attention to business, loving one’s family and giving one’s wife and children all the enjoyment of life possible. Those who know Butler best say that he has always adhered strictly to this rule—that his wife and. children were always the first cons!idera- tion with him. His loyalty to his friends has also been one of his marked traits of character. When Folk fired the boodle broadside four years ago, and HMutiler saw his old political friends floundering around on sink- ing ships, he came forward and signed their bonds as long as the courts would accept him. He fur- nished counsel! for a great many of them. and tt is said that he is now assisting the families of some of the men whose imprisonment keeps them from work. Butler was political boss of St. Louls for 3 yeara. He was never a candidate for office. For several years he and Hawes were the leaders of rival! fac- tions tn the Democratic party, but after Butler’s indictment on bribery charges he retired from active participation, although his Influence was long felt In local political affairs. He was first indicted In connection with the letting of a contract for the collection of garbace. and later on a charge of handling a fund of 7.500 al- leged to have been pald te members of the munt- cipal assembly for their votes on the city lighting bill passed in the fall of 1899.

Ransom pooh- poohs this report and goes to see the man with the twisted jaw. The latter declares himself Alfred Hazen, Georgian's brother, who had been supposedly buried at rea. He admits that Georgian visited him at the Hotel St. Denis and gave him money, but denies all k nowledge of her present whereabouts. He also de- nounces the “twin sister story” as a fabrication, sa ving Georgian’s twin, Anitra, died 15 years before. Hazen adds that in his opinion Georgian’s mind has « uddenly become unhinged.

Deeply indignant at his wife's duplicity, he took a look at the opposite side of the shaft where stil! an- other surprise awaited him, Here was the record of the brother; the brother he had so lately talked to and who had seemingly proven his claim to the name he now read: ALFRED FRANCESCO only son of Georgian Toritti afterwards Georgian Hazen.

She wants it done today, because she’s coming here with this gal found. Folks say she ran across her in the “From her name?” “Lord, no; from what I hear, she hadn't any name. From her looks! She saw her own self when She looked at her. ‘How interesting, how very interesting,’ stam- mered Mr. Ransom, feeling his newly-won convic- tions shaken again. “Quite story. And so {s this inscription,’’ he added, point- ing to the words Georgian Toritti, etc, "Did the woman have two husbands, and was the Alfred Hazen, whose death at sea is commemorated here, the son of Toritti or of Hazen?’ “Of Toritti,”” grumbled the man, evidently § dis- pleased at the question. “A black-browed devil who it won't do to talk about here.

So they still believed Hazen dead! No intimation of his return had as yet reached Sitford. This was what Ransom wanted to know. But there was still much to learn. Should he venture an additional question? No, that would show more than a stranger's inter- est in a topic so purely local. Better leave well enough alone and quit the spot before he committed himeelf, remarkable the whole. well. Having changed his clothes and warmed him- self with a draft of whisky, he sat down at his table and was busy writing when the maid came in to ask if he would wait for his supper till the coach came, or have it earlier and served in his Own room, With an air of petulance, he looked up, rapped on the table, and replied: “Here! here! I'm too Dusy to meet strangers. An early supper and an early bed. That’s the way I get through my work.” The girl stared and went softly out. Work!—that?

If it was beds he had to drag around now, or 4 dozen hungry, clamoring men to feed all at once, and all with the best cuts, or stairs to run up fifty times a day, or—but I need not fill out her thought. It made her voluble in the kitchen and secured him the privacy which his incognito demanded, His supper over, he waited feverishly for the coach, which ordinarly was due at seven in the evening. Tonight it bade fair to be late, owing to the bad con- dition of the roads and the early darkness. The wind. had gone down, but it still rained. Not quite so tempestuously as when he roamed the cemetery, but steadily enough to keep eaves and branches dripping. The sound of this ceaseless drfp was eerie enough to his strained senses, waiting as he was for an event which might determine the happiness or the misery of his life. He tried to forget it and wrote diligently, putting down words whose meaning he did not stop to consider, that he had something to show to prying eyes if such should ever gslance through his papers. But the sound had got on his brain, and presently became so insistent that he rose again and flung his window up to see if he were de- ceived in thinking he heard a deep roar mingling with the incessant patter, a roar which the wind had hitherto prevented him from separating from the general turmoil, but which now was apparent enough to call for some explanation. He had made no mistake; a steady sound of rush- ing water filled the outside air. A fall was near, a fall by means of which, no doubt, the factories were SO run. Why had he not thought of this? Why had its sound held a note of menace for him, awakening feelings now catch most of the words and sometimes a sen- tence. They all referred to the sister. ‘“‘Temper—her own way—deaf—would walk in all the rain and slush. —A strange character—yo6u can’t imagine,” and other similar phrases, uttered in a passionate and half- angry voice. Then ejaculations: from Mrs, Deo, and a word or two of caution or injunction in the polHshed tones of the lawyer, followed by a stidden rush to- wards the staircase, over which he was leaning. “Show me my room,” rang up in Georgian’s bell- like tones; “‘then I'll tell you what to do about her. She isn't easily managed.” “But she'll get her death!”’ expostulated Mrs, Deo; “to say nothing of her losing her way in this dread- fu) darkness. Let me send’’— “Not yet,’ broke in his young wife's voice, with just the hint of asperity in it. “She must trudge out her tantrum first. I think her idea was to show that she remembered the old place and the lane where she used to pick blackberries. You needn't Worry about her getting cold. She's lived a gipsy life too many years to mind wind and wet. But it’s different with me. I'm allin a shiver. Which is my room, please?’ She was now at the head of the Stairs. Mr. Ran- som had closed hig door, but not latched it, and as she turned to go down the hall, followed by the chat- tering landlady, he swung it open for an instant and so caught one full glimpse of her beloved figure. She was dressed in a long rain-coat and had some Sort of modish hat on her head, which, in spite of its simplicity, gave her a highly fashionable air. A woman to draw all eyes, but such a mystery to her husband! Such a mystery to all who knew her story, or rather her actions, for no one seemed to know her story. Events did not halt. He heard her give this and that order, open a. door and look in; say a word of commendation, ask if the key was on her side of the partition, then shut the door again and open an- Other. “Ah, this great satisfaction. Please. I'll open it. looks cemfortable,’ she exclaimed in ‘Is that my bag? Put it down, Now, if you'll leave me a mom- ent alone, I'll soon be ready. But you mustn't expect me to eat till Anitra comes. I couldn't do that. Oh, She's a dreadful trial, Mrs. Deo; you have a mofherly and gipsy ways, and from this moment he began to be.eve in her too, and consequently to share some of the excitement which had now become prevalent all through the house. , His suspense was destined to be short. While he was straining his eyes to see what might be going on down the road, a small crowd of people came round the corner of the house. .n their midst walked a woman with a shawl or cape over her head—a tierce and wilful figure which shook off the hand kind Mrs. Deo Ja.. on her arm, and shrank as the great front door fell open, sending forth a flood of light which, to one less wedded to wild ways and ‘outdoor living, promised a hospitable cheer. “Georgian’s form!’’ muttered Ransom involuntarily to himself. “And Georgian’s face!” we felt obliged to add, as the light fell broadly across her. “But not Georgian’s ways and not Georgian’s nature,’’ ue impetuously finished as she slipped out of sight. Then the mystery of the brother came rushing over him and he yielded himself again to the wonder of the situation till he was reawakened to realities by the shuffling of feet on the stairway and the raised tones of Mrs. Deo as she tried to make herself un- derstood by ner new and somewhat difficult guest.

He longed for another glimpse of the girl, but feared to betray his own curiosity to the two women who accompanied Should he be forced to allow her to enter her room unseen? Might he not better run some small risk of detection? He had escaped discovery before; wasn't it possible for him to escape it again? He finally compromised matters by first flinging his door wide open and then retreating to the other end of the room where the shddows appeared heavy enough to hide him. From this point he cast a look down the hall which was in a direct line from his present standpoint, and was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the girl with her face turned in his di- rection. Her companions, on the contrary, were standing with their backs to him, one beside the door she had just thrown open, the other at his wife's door on which she had just given a Significant rap. Such was the picture. The girl absorbed all his attention.

Bhe does not advance at once to the Staircase, but creeps first to her sister’s door, where she stands listening for a minute or so in an attitude of marked anxiety. Then, with a gesture expressive of repug- nance and alarm, she steps quickly forward and dis- appears down the staircase without vouchsafing one giance in his direction. His vision of her as she looked in that short pass- age from room to staircase was momentary only, but it left him shuddering. Never before had he seen resolve burning to a white heat in the human countenance. There was something abnormal in it, taken with his knowledge of her tace in its happier and more wholesome aspects. The innocent, affec- tionate young girl, whose soul he had looked upon as a weeded garden, had become in a moment to his eyes a suffering, determined, deeply concentrated woman of unsuspected power and purpose. A sug- gestion of wildness in her alr added to the mys- terious impression she made; an impression which rendered this instant memorable to him and set his pulses beating to a tune quite new to them. What was she going to do? Bign away all her property? Beggar her heirs for~ He could not say what. No; even such a resolution céuld not account for her remarkable expression of concentrated will. There was in her distracted mind something of more tragte import than this: and he dare? not question what; dared not even approach this woman who, less than - a week before, had linked herse.. to him for life. The uneasy light in those fixed and gleaming eyes betrayed a reason too lightly poised. He feared any Better that she should go tation which tnsured a judicious use of his power. What if she were about to will away her fortune to tha man she called brother? He himself had Her health and happiness But oh, for eyes to see into For eyes to see into her heart! For eyes to see into the future! His suspense presently became so great that he gay one with colors in it—had fallen from her head and was trailing, wet and bedraggled, over @n equally bedraggled skirt. Soused with wet, her hair dis- heveled, and all her garments awry with the passion of her movements, she yet made his heart stand still, as, With a sullen look at those about her, she rushed into the room prepared for her use and slammed the door behind her with a quick cry of mingled rage and relief. For with all thees draw- backs of manmer and appearance she was the living picture of Georgian; so Nke her, indeed, that he could well understand now the shock which his darling received. when, in the unconsciousness of possessing @ living sister, she had encountered In street or store, or wherever they had first met, this living reproduc- tion of herself, “No wonder she became confused as to her duty,” bere muttered. “I even feel myself becoming confused as to mine.’ “Bring me up something to eat,” he mow heard this latest comer shout from her doorway.. “I don’t want face, and I can tell you that the girl Is just eating up my life, If she weren’t my very self, deafened by hard usage, and rendered coarse and wilful by years of a miserable and half-starved life, I couldn't bear it, especially after what I've sacrificed for her.

A factory fall swollen by the rain! What was there in this to make his hand shafe and cause the deepening night to seem positively hateful to him?

The conclusion was obvious. It was the brother and not the sister who had reappeared. Georgian was not only playing him false but deceiving the general public. Ih fact, knowingly or unknowingly, she was perpetrating a great fraud. He was inclined to think unknowingly. He began to regard with less in- credulity Hazen's declaration that the shock of her brother's return had unsettled her mind. Distressed, but no longer the prey of distracting doubt, he again examined the Inscription before him and this time noticed its peculiarities. Alfred Fran- cesco, only son of Georgian Toritti afterwards Geor- gian Hazen. Afterwards! What was meant by that afterwards? That the woman had been married twice, and that this Alfred Francesco was the son of her first husband rather than of the one whose name he bore’ It looked that way. There was a suggestion of ILtal- jan parentage in the Francesco which corresponded well with the decidedly Italian Torittt.

His room was in the gable end facing the read. From it he could look directly down on the porch of entrance, a fact which he had thankfully noted at his first look. As he heard the bustle which now broke out below, and Caught the gleam of a lantern coming round the corner of the house, he softly stepped to his lamp and put it out, then took his stand at the windew. The coach was now very near, he could hear the straining of the harness and the shouts of the driver. In another moment it drew lumberingly up. A man from the hotel advanced with an umbrella; a young lady was helped out who, standing one moment in the full glare of the lights thrown upon her from the open door, showed him CHAPTER IX.

As this man was middle-aged and had no other protection from the rain than a rubber cape for his shoulders, the cause of his discontent was easy enough to imagine; though why he should come into this place with tools was more than Mr. Ransom could understand. “Hello, stranger."’ It was this man who spoke. “In- terested in the Hazen monument, eli?

That shall be as good @ one as our kitchen will provide. Four city guests all in one day!

The little girl who—yes, I am coming,”’ This latter to some per- plexed domestic down the hall, who had already called her twice. “I mustn't stand talking here,” she apologized as she hurried away. “Rut do take care of yourself. You are dreadful wet. How I wish the weather would clear up!’’ Mr. Ransom wished the same, To say nothing of the face and form he knew so well and loved—yes, toved for all her mystery, as he knew by the wild beating of his heart, and the irresistible impulse he felt to rush down and receive her in his arms, to her great terror doubtless, but to his own boundless satisfaction and delight. But strong as the temptation was, he did not yield to it. Something in her attl- tude, as she stood there, talking earnestiy to the driver, held him spellbound and alert, All was not right; there was passion in her movements and in her voice. What she said drew the heads of land- lady and maid from the open door and caused the man with the lantern to peer past her into the coach and backward along the road, What had happened” Nothing that concerned the lawyer, Mr. Ransom could see him disentangling himself from the Ccovet- ings in front where he had ridden with the driver, put the sister was not there. No other lady got out of the coach even after his young wife had finished her conversation with the driver and disappeared into the house. “How can I stand this?’ thought Mr. Ransom 4s dare; I’m not sure that I shall.” And the door shut tO again, this time with a snap of tre lock. Quiet reigned once more in the hall save for Mrs. Deo's muttered exclamations as she made her laborious way down-stairs.

POST - DISPA TCH—DECEMBEB~ 1906 MORNING-ST. LOUIS eS ur prising | Developments we oe CONTINUED FROM PRECEDING PAGE. The incidents of the day, so far as she was con- cerned, appeared to be at an end. CHAPTER XI. HAILF-PAST ONE IN THE MORNING. + OTHIN’ now held Mr. Ransom to his room. The N two women in whose fate he was so nearly con- cerned, his sister-in-law and his wife, had both retired and there was no other eye he feared. In- deed, he courted an interview with the lawyer, if only it could be naturally obtained; and he had Hit- tle reason to think it could not. So he went down- stairs. In a moment he seemed to have passed from the realm of dreams to that of reality. Here was no mys- tery. Here was life as he knew it. Walking boldly into the office, he ran his eye over the half-dozen men who sat there and, picking out the lawyer from the rest, sauntered easily up to him and sat down. “My name is Johnston,” said he. “I’m from New York; like yourself, I believe.” The lawyer, with a twinkle in his light-blue eye, _ amswered with a cordial nod; and in two minutes a lively conversation had begun betwen them on pure- ly impersonal subjects suited to the intelligence of the crowd they were in. This did not lest, however. An oppor.unity soo: came for them to stroll off to- gether, and presently Mr. Ransom found himself closeted with this man who he had reason to be- lieve was the sole holder of the key tc the secret which was devouring him. A bottle of wine was on the table between them, and some cigars. As Mr. Ransom filled the twe glasses, he spoke: “Tl have to thank you'’—he began, but saw im- mediately that he had made « wrong start. “For what, Mr. Johnston’’’ asked the other coldly. “Bor giving me this opportunity to speak alone with you,”’ Ransom exp'ained with a nervous gesture. "An hour of -ossip is so necessary to We after « day of hard ork. «aernaps you don’t fenow tha’ | «om an autho:—have been one for seven whole hours. I find it exhausting. You could give me great relief by talking a /ittle some foreign gubject, say on the one now engrossing every one im the house, the twin ladies from New York. You were in the same coach with them. Did they quar- rel and did the most wilful of the two insist on get- ting out at the .oot of the hill and walking up through the lane?’ “T doubt if I have anything to say to Mr. Johnston on this subject,’’ was the wary reply. “What if he added another name to the Johnston?” ‘It would make no appreciable difference. The driver is a loquacious fellow, talk to him.” Mr. Ransom felt his hear. fail him. He surveyed closely the mouth which had uttered this offhand sentence and saw that it was set in a line there was no mistaking. Little enlightenment was to be got from this man. Yet he made one more effort. “Did my Wife sign the will?’ he asked. “All pre- tense aside, this ia a very important matter to me, Mr. Harper; not on accoun. of the money involved, but because the doing of this simple act seemed to require such an effort on her par. . “You are mistaken,’’ was the quick reply, harshly accentuated. ‘‘She did just what she wanted to do. She was not in the least coerced, unless it was by circumstances.”’ “Circumstances. But thig is what I[ mean. They seem to have been too much for her. I want to understand these circumstances.”’ The lawyer honored him with his first direct look. “I don’t understand them myself,” gaid he. “You don't?’ unrestraincd Mr. Ransom set down the wineglass he had raised half way to his lips. “You have simply followed her or- ders?’ “You have said it. Your wife is a woman of much more character than you think. She has amazed me.” “She is amazing me. I am here; she is here; only a few boards separate us, But iron bars could- not be more effect- val. I dare not approach the door; dare not ask her to accept from me the natural protection of a lover and hus- band. Instinct holds me back, or her will, which may not be stronger than mine but is certainly more dominant.” “Lawyers do not believe much fn in- stinct as a usual thing, but I should advise confidence in this one. A woman with a tremendous will like that of Mrs. Ransom should be allowed a slack tether. The day will arrive when she [A THR “All is still in here,” he cried. “Not a_ sound. Something dreadful has happened’’—— Just then Anitra’s door fell back and a wild image confronted him and such others as had by this time collected in tne passageway with only a shaw! covering her night dress, the gip™:-like creature stood clawing the air and answering the looks that ap- pealed to her, with wild gurgies, till suddenly her hot glances fell on Roger Ransom, when she in- stantly became rigid and stammered out: “She’s gone! I saw her black figure go by my window. She called out that the waterfall drew her. She went by the little balcony and the roof. The roof was slippery with the rain and she fell. That's why I screamed. But she got »° again. What is she going to do at the waterfall? Stop her, stop her! She hasn’t steady feet Ilke me, and I wasn’t really angry. I liked her; I liked her.”’ Sobs choked the rest. Her terror was infectious. Mr. Ransom reeled, then flung himself at Georgian’s door. It resisted, but the silence within told him that she was not there. Neither was she in Anitra’s room. They could all look in and see it bare to the window. “You saw her climbing past there?’ he cried, for- getting she was deaf. : “Yes, yes,” she chattered, catching his meaning from his ‘pointing finger. ‘‘There’s a balcony. She must have jumped on it from her own window. She didn’t come in here. See! the door is locked on her side.”’ This was true. ) “Il awoke and saw her. My“eyes are like lynx’s. I got out of bed to watch. She fell’’—— The noise of a breaking lock snapped her words in two. One of the men present had flung himself against this communicating door. Immediately they all crowded into the adjoining room. It was empty and bitterly cold and wet. An open window ex- plained why, and possibly the letter lying on the bureau inscribed with her husband’s name would ex- plain the rest. But he stopped to read no lietters now. “Show me the way to those falls,’’ he cried, pocket- ing the letter as he rushed by the disheveled Anita into the »pen hall. ‘“T’m her husband, Roger Ran- s0m. Who goes with me? He who does is my friend for life.’’ | The clerk and one og two others rushed for their coats and lanterns. He waited for nothing. The roar of the waterfall had told him too many tales that day. And the will! Her will just signed! “Georgian!”’ They could hear his cry. “Georgian! Georgian! Wait! wait! hear what I have to say!’’ thrilled back through the mist as he stumb!'-~ on, followed by the men waving their lanterns and shouting words of warning he proba- bly never hea |. Then his cry further off and fainter. ‘‘Georgian!’’ Georgian!’”’ Then silence and the slow drizzle of rain on the soggy walk and soaked roofs, with the far-off boom of the waterfall which Mrs. Deo and the trembling maids gazing at the wide-eyed An..ra shivering in the center of her deserted room, tried to shut out by closing window and blind, forgetting that she was deaf and only heard such echoes as were thundering in her own mind. ‘CHAPTER XIII. WHERE THE MILL STREAM RUNS FIERCEST. rm wo o'clock. | [ Three o'clock. Two men were talking below their breaths in the otherwise empty office. “That ‘ere mill stream ILLING RO never gives up anything it has once caught,” muttered one into the ear of the other. “It’s swift as fate and in certain places deep as hell. Dutch Jan’s body was five months at the bottom of it before it came up at Clark's pool.” The man beside him shivered and his hand roamed nervously towards his breast. “Did Jan, the Dutchman you speak of, fau in by accident, or did he—throw himself over—from home- sickness, or some such cause?” “‘Wa’'al we don't say; on account of his old mother, you know, we don’t say. It was called accident.” The other man rose and walked restlessly to the window. “Half the town is up,” he muttered. ‘The lanterns go by like fire-flies. Poor Ransom! It’s a hopeless job, I fear.”” And again his hand wandered to that breast pocket where the edge of a document could be seen. “I have half a mind to go out myself; anything is better than sitting here.’’ But he sat down just the same. no khonger a young man. ‘‘The storm’s bating,’’ observed the one. “But not the co'd. Throw on a Stick; I’m freez- ing.’’ The other man obeyed; then looking up, stared. A girl stood before them in the doorway. Anitra, with cheeks ablaze and eyes burning, her traveling dress flapping damp about her heels, and on her head the red shawl she preferred to any hat. Behind her shoulder peered the anxious face of Mrs. Deo. “I'm going out,”’ cried the former in the loud and unmodulated volce of the deaf. “He don’t come back! he don’t come back! I’m going to see why.” The lawyer rose and bowed; then resolutely shook his head. He did not know whether she had ap- pealed to him or not. She had not looked at him, had not looked at any one, but he felt that he must protest. “I beg you not to do so,” he began. “I really beg you to remain here and wait with me. You can do no good and the result may be dangerous.’’ But he knew he was talking to deaf ears even be- fore the landlady murmured: “She doesn’t hear a word. I've talked and talked to her. I’ve used every sign and motion I could think of, but it’s done no good. She would dress and she will go out; you'll see.” The next minute her prophecy came true; the wild thing, with a quick whirl of her lithe body, was at the front uoor, and in another instant had flashed through it and was gone. “It is my duty to follow her,’’ “Help me on with my coat; I'll guide me.” “Here is a lantern. Excuse me for not going with you,”’ pleaded Mrs. Deo, ‘“‘but some one must watch the house.” The New Yorker nodded, took the lantern offered him and went stoically out. , patel He met a man on the walk in front. his way and was panting heavity. “Hello,’’ said he, what news?’’ “They haven't found her; but there’s no doubt she went over the fall. The fellow whocalls himself her husband has just been reading a letter they say she left on her bureau for him. It was a good-by, 1 reckon, for you can’t tear him from the spot. He says he’ll stay there till daylight. I couldn’t stand the sight of his misery myself. Besides, it’s morta! cold; I’ve just been running to get w:-rm. Who was the girl’ who just went scurrying by out of here? It's no place for wimmen down there. One lost gal Mr. Harper was Said the lawyer. find some one to He was faced i is enough.”’ ‘“That’s what I think,’’ muttered the lawyer, hurry- ing on. He was not a very imaginative man; some of his best friends thought him a cold and prosaic one, but he never forgot that walk or the sensations accom- panying it. Dark as it still was, the way would have been impassable for a stranger, had it not been for the guidance given by the noisy passing to and fro of the awakened townspeople. Those coming from the river approached in a direct line from one sput; those going to it advanced in the same line and to the same spot. A ring of lanterns marked it. It was near, very near where the heavy waters fell into a deep pool. No one now spoke of Anitra; she had evidently been warned by her first encounter to move with less precipitancy. As he approached the place of central interest, he moved more warily too. The ground was very bad; he had never walked in such suush. Cnce and again he tripped; once he came down upon his face. The boom of the waters was now very near; he could see nothing but the flicker of the lanterns, but ne felt the near rush of the stream, and presently was at its very edge. Startled by the nearness of his escape, for he had almost lost his footing by his sudden halt, he started back, looked again at the lanterns, took a turn and came upon the dozen or more men bending over the edge of the stream where the waters ran most swiftly. But he did not join them. “Another sight attracted his eyes and present- ly himself. This was the sight of Ransom crouched on the wet earth, staring down at a siip of paper he held in his hands. A lantern get in the sand at his feet sent its feeble rays over his face and possi- bly over the paper; but he was no longer reading it, he was simply so lost in its sorrowful contents that all power of movement had deserted him. Harper approached to his side, but he did not ad- dress him. Something stirred in his own breast and kept him silent. But there was another person near who was not so deterred. As Harper stood watching Ransom’s crouched, almost insensible figure, he per- ceived a slight dark form steal from the shadows and lay a hand on the stooping man’s shoulder, then as he failed to move or give any token of feel- ing this toucn, he heard Anitra’s voice say in ac- cents almost musical: “You will get ill here; cold and the night air. Georgian would wish it.” The name roused him and he looked up. Their eyes met and a strange gleam—e shock, perhaps, of sympathetic feeling, flashed upon either face. The lawyer saw and instinctively retreated from out the circle of light cast by the lantern; but the men at the stream’s edge heard nothing. The flash of some- thing white had caught their eyés and one man was reaching for it. “Georgian,’’ came in astonished repititon from the bereaved man’s lips. “She would wish it,’’ persisted the other with still deeper and more urgent meaning. Then in a whisper so penetrating that even Mr. Harper caught its least inflection through all the thunder of the waterfall, “She loved you.” Ah! the enchantment, the feminine persuasivenesg the heart-moving, sincerity which breathed through that simple phrase! From lips so untutored, it seemed marvelous. Ransom was not insensible to its power, for he quivered under her hand and his eyes took on a look of wonder. But he made no attempt you are not used to the Come back to the house; MANC that one instant just to Hsten and to look. The man hanging over the stream drew back his arm. He had been deceived by a bit of froth; some of it clung yet to his fingers. “Come,” entreated the girl, her face emerging soft- ly into the light, as she stooped lower over the lantern. “Come!”’ she had taken him by the hand and was drawing him gently upward. With a leap he was on his feet and had @irown her off. Some memory had come to make her en- treaty hateful. “No,” he cried, ‘‘no! Here is my place and here will I stay. You are a stranger to me! You drove her to this act, and you shall not cajole me into forgetting it.”’ “Won't you come?” she falteringly pleaded, point- ing towards the house with its twinkli lights. “You are cold; you are shuddering; they will@o the search- ing who don’t mind night or wet. Follow Anitra, Anitra who is so sorry.” “No,” he shouted. His tone, his look, were aimost those of a madman. He even put out his hands to- wards her in repulsion. He seemed to cast her away. This gesture, if not his words, reached her under- standing. The lawyer saw her sway; fling back her young head with its dishevel locks to the night, and fall moaning pitifully to the ground. Here she lay still, with the wet grass all about her and the last lingering drops of rain beating on her huddled form. Mr. Harper started to raise her, for Ransom stood petrified. But no sooner had the lawyer made his presence known by this impetuous movement, than Ransom woke from his trance and, darting down, lifted the girl in his arms and began moving with her towards the house. As he passed the lawyer he muttered between set teeth: “She's caused me all my misery. But she looks toa much like Georgian for me to see another man touch her. God will care for my poor darling’s body.” CHAPTER XIV. A DETECTIVE’S WORK. ORNING. M The living household was about its tasks for all the horror of the night before, and the stil] unrelieved suspense as to the fate of one of the members. The maid, who had sat on watch in the upper hal! for so many hours the evening before, was again at her post, but this time with her eye fixed only on one door, the door behind which slept the ex. hausted Anitra. Ransom’s room was empty; he was in the sitting room below, closeted with the lawyer. Some one had been there before them. The tray of bottles amd glasses had been removed from the table, and in their place were to be seen a woman’s damaged hat and a small tortoise-shell comb. Mr. Harper’s hand was on the former, which was wound about with a wet veil. “T think I recognize this,’’ said he. “At least I have a distinct impression of having seen it before.” “It was picked up with the veil still on it near & to answer, even by a sign.

There were two of them just alike.” Instinctively the two men sat with their eyes fixed for a minute on this comb, then, equally instinctively, chey both looked up and gaged at each other long and hard. It was the lawyer who first spoke. “I think that we should have no further secrets between us,” said he. “Here is Mrs. Ransom’s will. There is a name mentioned in it which I fo not know. Perhaps you do.” Here he laid the documént on the table. . Mr. Ransom eyed It, but did not take it up. Ine stead, he drew a crumpled paper from his own pocket, and handing it to the lawyer, sald: “First, I should like you to read the letter which she left behind for me. My feelings as a husband would lead me to hold it as a sacred legacy from all eyes but my own; but there is a mystery hidden in it, a mystery which I must penetrate, and you are the only man who can assist me in doing so." The lawyer, lowering his eyes to hiue their own sus- picious giint, opened the paper, and carefully read these lines: “Forgive. My troubles are too much for me. I'm going to a place of rest, the only place and the only rest possible to one in my position. I don't blame anybody. Least of all do I blame Anitra. It was not her fault that she was brought up rudely, or that she knows no restraint in love or in hate. Be kind to her for my sake, and if any one else claims her or offers to take her from you, resist them. I give her entirely to you. It’s a more priceless gift than you think; much more priceless than the one which I take from you by my death. I could never have been happy with you; you could never have been happy with me. Fate stopd between us; @ darker and more inexorable fate than you, in your kindly experience of life, could imagine. Else, why do I plunge to my death with your ring on my finger and your love in my heart? GEORGIAN.” ON’T miss the next installment next week. It’s even more fas- ¢inating than the one printed today.

The Significance of Christmas to Christian Science Believers BY ARTHUR P. DE CAMP. First Reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, St. Louis. HOULD not the celebration of the nativity of Jesus lift human consciousness to a more spiritual apprehension of the true Christ-mass, even to a constant recognition of the ever-living and ever-present Christ? This would mean an eternal Christmas, for Christ is withont “he. sinning of days,.or end of life,” and is that reflection or Son of God of whom Jesus spake when he said: “Refore Abraham was, I am,” and, “Lo, I am with you always.” It was the incomparable fullnes« of his realization and demonstra- tion of oneness with God that mad> him Jesus the Christ, Proportionnicly as we grow into the stature of manhood in Christ Jesus, thought turns naturally from flesh to Spirit, from matter to Mind, and, while to the Christian Scientist. thix jovous celebration in- cludes no less of loving kindness and good deeds, it is marked by lean of mere merry-making and feasting, fess of the crowded confusion, atress and anxiety which accompany the needless and ofttimes bur- densome exchange of gifts, and by an ever-increasing abundance of peace and good will.

IOWA OFFICIALS “Old Soldiers’ Preference Act" Is Reacting Against the Veterans, WEBSTER CITY, Io., Dec. 8.—The newly elected lowa State officets have been having an experience different from any of their predecessors. Ther £0 into office Jan. 1 as the first new nen since the soldiers’ preference law went into effect. A situation is pre- sented “to them that never before faced an lowa official In every one of. the State offices there are old soldiers. They are corm petent mén and in every way deserv- ing of their places. But some of them Sustain relations to their chiefs of @ confidential nature and for various reasons it might be deemed destrable to supplant them with other old sol- diers. But the law ts rigid. It can be said for some of them that, in perfect fairness, they have waived all their rights under the sol- diers’ preference law, and, while this will do for them personally, it does not bind their friends, who might fall back upon the law, or at least make a big protest. Then, on the other hand, there are many old soldiers who are seeking appointments. Right here is where the law operates awkwardly for the officials. An of- ficer having knowledge of the work- ings of the law hesitates to appoint an old soldier to any place, for he knows that it makes it more difficult to shift the help about so as to the best results. Nobody who wants to avoid trouble will voluntarily put in a position one who may thereafter claim his absolute right to the place under the law. This may be a harsh way of looking at it, but it Is one of the difficulties in the way of the law and is giving no end of concern to the new State offictals.

Don’t Miss Mr. Ade’s New Version of Uncte Jom in Next Sunday's Post-Dispatch. —

yp. | ry oO An Old and Shopworn Narrative Fixed Up to Harmonize With the Twentieth Century Cold-Blooded Point of View and to Satisfy the Demand of a Wise and Foxy Population Which Demands to Be Shown. By George Ade. Copyright, 1906, by George Ade. NE week after the return of Rip Van Winkle to his native town he sat in the tavern hitting up a few schnapps with one of the few remaining friends of his youth. While he was feeling a mite squiffy he opened up and told what had really happened to him during his long absence. Things had certainly been coming soft for Rip since his sensational entry along Main street. A good many people.when they first saw him hiding behind the mat of whiskers thought he was a divine healer or a come-on who was advertising some new kind of medi- cine. Later on, when it was told around that he had been asleep in the mountains, within three miles of the Courthouse, for 20 long years, all the other town liars pulled down the green blinds and went out of business. It was a hard blow toa thriving and ambi- tious young city to have the prize tank come floating back after all these years. His rela- tives and acquaintances had to make the best of it. They shook hands with him and slapped him on the back and told him how well he was looking, which was more or less of a joke, be- cause they had hoped that he never would show up again, and when they saw the fringe around the trousers and the coat torn up the back they knew that he had come home to sponge a living in the only town that would stand for him. They chipped in and gave him enough money to get a shave and a hair cut and a serviceable’ ready-made suit. Within three days he felt strong enough to get out and work the old familiar circuit. All he had to do was to wander into a buffet and begin his yarn about meeting the little men with the keg up in the Catskills and how they juggled the drinks on him and had him in the hay for 20 years and he could always find some one who would buy just to keep him going. Not a barkeep in town believed his story, but they strung him along because he encouraged trade and they wanted to see how far he would go, and he thought he was getting away with it. A week had elapsed and he was still basking in the sunlight of publicity and standing on the most prominent corners so that he could be pointed out as a celebrity. Alack von Kidder, who had been a friend of his boyhood and was now the venerable and respected Alderman from the Second Ward, happening to meet that they stroll down to the Elite Cafe to shake the box and try to whipsaw the house. “I don’t like to go in there,” remarked Rip. get the seltzer bottle.” “It has been 20 years since you stood them up,” said Aleck. “Mebbe they have forgotten all about it.” So they went down an alley and entered the |

Elite by the back door, because Aleck, who was in politics, did not wish to queer himself with the pious element by going in from the street. . There had been many changes in the old taproom since Rip had seen it, 20 years be- fore. Two new slot machines had been in- stalled. The picture of the welterweight cham- pion had been moved to the other side of the icebox and a strangely complicated device, known as a cash register, was backed up against the large mirror. But there was the same old line of empty Benedictine bottles on the top shelf and the lunch was apparently the same. Rip got stuck for the first round, which meant that the Alderman had to produce, and then the two old friends sat at a quiet table to talk of the happy days o{\ yore. “There have been many changes in 20 years,” sighed Rip. “I have lost all track of baseball averages and I don’t dare to talk pol- itics because I find that the great parties have swapped issues. The red-handed revolutionist has become the conservative leader, and the talk that was regarded as anarchy when I did my famous disappearing act is now com- mended as safe and sane reasoning. A few years ago the man who had money was ad- mired and respected; now he seems to be re- garded as a little worse than a horsethief and not quite as bad as a murderer. Twenty years ago I was a bum. I come back now to find that I am an advanced Socialist.” “Come off,” said the Alderman. “I admire a good piece of fiction as well as anyone and I will give you credit for making your story seem plausible, but don’t try to hand it to me, Now, just between the two of us here, tell me, on the dead level, where have you been for the last 20 years?” Rip looked behind and aH around to make sure that none was listening, and then he said, confidentially : and I willput you wise to the whole thing. You remember the night I left here and went up into the mountains after I had that awful scrap with my wife? Well, I DID meet two men carrying a keg of liquor. is straight. lonely part of the mountains cutting through the underbrush with a keg of corn whisky you can gamble on it that they’re moonshiners.

“‘T Can Make Out My Finish,’’ Murmured Mr. Van Winkle awhile and thinking over the situation, I hit the long trail for the West. By telling a new hard-luck story in every town that I struck I soon cultivated my imagination and became more than ever convinced that a man who can live by conversation is foolish to go out and work eight hours every day. I finally landed in Pittsburg, where I became a promoter and a merger. I would find two men competing in some line of manufacture and I would in- duce them to combine two plants worth $5000 each into a stock company and issue $100,000 worth of stock, and I would get half of the stock for providing the conversation. It was a great scheme while it lasted, but finally a man whose flow of language was a _ little stronger than mine came along and took all of my stock companies and put them into one big company and froze me out. “Well, I wandered about from one place to another, accepting any employment which did not call for actual labor. My qualifica- tions consisted of being a good fellow and having a thirst that never faltered. I was a lobbyist and a real estate boomer and secre- tary of a campaign committee. Finally when I had worked every graft I could think of I decided to come, back to my native town and live on my relations and old friends. Yoy may have noticed that when a man has petered out everywhere else he always lands back on his kin. They can’t shake him with- out getting themselves talked about. I knew that all my debts here had been wiped out under the statute of limitations, and that I could come back here and get busy with a new generation. It was a long walk, but I finally arrived. I didn’t want to own up to my record for the last 20 years, and [ knew that even a liar of my exuberant fancy would have hard work to fill in imaginary de- tails for such a long period, so I fell back on the old gag. You know, when a fellow goes off om a bat and his family have the police looking for him, and he is last seen in Chi- cago, and then wakes up in a hotel in Provi- dence three weeks later, the only way for him to square himself is to say that he doesn’t re- member -anything that happened. So I fixed might not think that I could put that kind of a story across and make it stick, but I have, and if my reputation keeps on growing I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to receive a good offer to go on the lecture platform.” “You are certainly a wonder,” said Alder- man Von Kidder. ‘Next to the Interstate Commerce Commission, I have no doubt that your sleep is the longest on record. I won't tip off the truth to anyone. You stand by me in politics and indorse my official record and I'll indorse your story about the long sleep, and that will be about a stand-off.” So of all the people in that thriving young city Von Kidder was the only one who knew for a certainty that Rip Van Winkle was a fake. The story was repeated over and over, with increasing wonderment. At last it got into the newspapers, with big four-column pictures of Mr. Van Winkle before and after his remarkable experience in the . Catskills, with pictures of his wife, his old homestead, the gun, the whiskers, the dog, etc., with a map of the Catskill Mountains and an X mark indicating the spot where he slept, and then the most doubting soul seemed to be convinced. All except one. There had lately come to town a young doctor who was working hard to build up a practice. He had no reputa- tion and it was contrary to the ethics of his profession to advertise by the ordinary meth- ods, but he sent for a reporter and had him- self interviewed as an expert upon the possi- bility of a human being remaining in a state of coma for a period of 20 years. In this interview the doctor-was mentioned as a “‘cel- -ebrated specialist,” both his house address and his office address being mentioned and a two-column picture run with the story. The doctor demonstrated that it would be abso- lutely impossible for the essential organs of the body to resume their normal functions after a period of suspension exceeding in length a few weeks. He quoted numerous authorities: he staked his whole reputation upon the bold assertion that Mr. Van Winkle had deceived the public and was an impostor of the most bare-faced and shameless de-

up the story about being in a trance. With the hair and whiskers and the bad suit of clothes I certainly looked as if I had been curled up in the weeds for the last 20 years. I remembered where I had planted the gun, because I had been too lazy to carry it, so I went and dug up the rusty old barrel and landed in here and handed the natives what I believe to be one of the masterpieces of American fiction. You can see for your- self what a hit I’ve made. I don’t have to answer any embarrassing questions. I have discovered the only sure method of wiping out a long and crooked past. I simply say that I have been asleep for 20 years and have been leading a blameless life. You scription. Miter this arraignment had been printed, the reporter came to see Mr. Van Winkle to get his side of the case. Mr. Van Winkle had gone so far that he could not afford to back water, and so he repeated the whole pre- posterous mess of stuff about taking the |

dr'nk and hunting a soft place under the ing to find the rotted gun and the skeleton of the dog alongside. Then the expert came back with a letter to the editor and wanted to know why the dog hadn't slept too and come out all right, and he

offered to give a large sum of money to any, charitable institution that might be named if Mr. Van Winkle would consent to lie on a mattress in some public place and give an ex- hibition nap of just one short month in order to prove his case. As soon as the young doctor began to ham- mer the venerable and _ respected Mr. Van Winkle and apparently had him on the run, the public, with its unerring instinct of con- tempt for a tottering idol, joined in the gen- eral outcry. Mr. Van Winkle had made a great mistake of coming home as a hero. He should have known that in America no hero ever lasts. The dear people boost some nice old man up on a high pedestal just so that they can have a good fair target at which to shy their brickbats, As soon as Rip Van: Winkle was on the down grade and moving at an accelerated speed the newspapers joined in with enthusi- asm to do him up completely. The editor who had printed the full page story about his mar- velous adventue in the mountains sent pri- vate detectives over the ground and proved that the small boys of the town had gathered hickory nuts every year on the very spot where this hoary old humbug claimed that he had been asleep. When Mr. Van Winkle was asked to explain away the damning proof piled up against him, he took refuge in dignified silence, and the public, as usual, construed his silence as an absolute admission of guilt. Mr. Van Winkle, instead of being a petted and pampered celebrity, now found himself in a class with the United States Senator | has been written up in the magazine. His hu- 1 Van Winkle.

he The Elfish Persons Whom Rip Met in His Trip to the Mountains Were Moonshiners Who Mis- miliated relatives and close friends, who had been glad to share with him the first glories of his sensational return, now looked around the remote background. They were inclined to take a charitable view of his case. Instead of publicly denouncing him as a deliberate and vicious falsifier they agreed among themselves perts to peek at him through the bars and make notes as to his eccentricities. When Mr. Van Winkle was brought inte the courtroom he looked across at the jury, box and saw six dignified, sad-eyed repree sentative American business men. “I can make out my finish,’”” murmured Mg, “What chance has a beautiful mythical legend or a fragment of sweet, poetie folklore got with that bunch of narrow. minded commercial clams? My ticket for the nut college is now being stamped on the back, I can see the booby hatch yawning for one old man that got too gay with his talk. No mate er how successful a liar a man may be, there is always a danger that he will reach for a tall one and land on his neck.” What could poor Rip Van Winkle do? If he disowned the whole story about sleeping in the mountains and told the candid truth about his 20 years of jumping board bills, running up bad debts and moving from town to town, would any one believe him? And if they did believe him, and even if he could prove it, would his situation be improved? Was it better to be a crook than a lunatic? He took a desperate chance and told with- | out rhetorical flourish the sweet and simple story that had so charmed the townspeople on the day of his return, He told of the dark night on the mountain pathway, of the rum- bling thunder and vivid flashes of light ning, of meeting the two elfish little strangers and how they beckoned him to the mountain top, there in the gathering gloom of the night, and of the strange revels, the stupefying awakening in a new and unfamiliar world, and how he had groped his way bagk to the scenes of his happy youth. When he had concluded, the hardware clerR, the man who worked in the grain elevator, | the assistant postmaster, the proprietor of the feed store, the owner of the Gem grocery and the prescription clerk from McIntyre’s drug store, all seated gravely in the jury box, ex- changed significant winks and whispered one to another, ‘“There’s nothing to it—he’ dippy.” | Next week Mr. Rip Van Winkle, like many, another man who attains a skyrocket, found himself down and out and forgotten. He was in a snug little apartment at a State institu- tion, engaged in writing his memoirs on the whitewashed wall with a broken nail. j

If it is weak, inactive or out of order and unable to properly digest the food, the body will soon be in a state of seml- starvation. Then, too, when the stomach is weak, the food is not properly digest- ed and lies in it for hours, decompos- ing, ferménting and forming poisonous ses and ptomaines that are absorbed to the blood, poisoning the system and impoverishing the blood. To enjoy good health, it is absolute- ly necessary that the stomach and di- gestive organs should be strong, and no other remedy equals Mi-o-na in strengthening and giving tone to the whole digestive system. Relief from the use of Mi-o-na is permanent and lasting. Use Mi-o-na for a few days, and the digestion will be good, the appetite keen, and there will be no nausea or distress after eating, no sleeplessness, no nervous- ness, and the headaches, backaches, and disturbed heart action that are the direct result of a weakened stom- ach will soon be overcome.

OUT OF SORTS. People Not Really Sick Are Often Most in Need of Care. The people who actually are most in need of kind words and medical treat- ment are not those who are really sick, but just “out of sorts.” The old-time energy, force, strength and happy spirits are lacking; the physical and mental powers are flag- ging; there is poor appetite, and they cannot get the good out of the food they eat. In nine cases out of ten, “this results directly from a weakened stomach, and- no other’ treatment equals Mi-o-na to restore strength and health. When the nerves and muscles are weak, if there is sleeplessness, irrita- bility, and specks before the eyes, when the head aches and there is a dull pain in the back, and there is any distress and heaviness in the stomach, dizziness, and sometimes nausea, thé use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets for a few days will mate a world of im- provement, and continued use for a reasonable time will restore perfect health. These tablets are not mere diges- tives; they absolutely strengthen all the organs of digestion, so that there fis goal appetite, perfect digestion and strong nerves, when they are used.

| Misses NASHVILLE 19 PROUD OF NEN JESUIT SCHOOL Tennessee City Believes $200,- 000 College Will Add to Prestige. SITE SECURED QUIETLY Residents Believe Church Is Making Southern Center There. lO INSTITUTIONS

OTHER

Order Is Stranger to Commun- ity, but Scholarly Record Gains Respect.

Special. to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 8. — The Jesuits, the greatest of all the numer- ous Roman Catholic priesthood orders, will enter Tennessee, and the authorita- tive announcement is made that a col- lege will be erected at a cost of at least $150,000. This, in addition to the cost of the Jand, $36,000, which has already been acquired. Work on the college will be commenced at once, and within the next twelve months close to $200,- 000, will have been spent here. As a prelude to the great work, Fathers Beiver and Power of New Orleans have begun a mission at St. Mary's Cathe- dral, the mission being of an educa- tional nature and designed to acquaint Nashville residents, Roman Catholics and others, with the teachings, pur- poses and importance of the order which Ignatius ‘Loyola founded 400 vears ago. Some months ago Thomas J. Tyne, a Nashville attorney, purchased the his- toric Whitworth estate on the Harding turnpike, one of the roads leading out of Nashville. The estate is about two miles from the city proper, and is at the terminus of a street railway line, therefore being very accessible. The purpose for which Mr. Tyne acquire the property was kept secret until the sale had been ratified by the Chancery Court. As soon as the sale was completed the head of the Jesuits in New Orleans Province. Rev. John F. O’Connor, came to Nashville, and after an exhaustive in- Quiry and inspection, announced that tue college would be erected at once. The college will be as well equipped as the Society of Jesus, the legal desig- nation of the order, can make it. Strangers to Community. The announcement that the college would be erected was received with great satisfaction and interest in Ten- nessee, to which the Jesuits are strang- ers, although their work is known to thousands. Except as transient guests, the Jesuit Fathers have never been geen in Nashville. Even Catholics know It- tle beyond what they have gathered from books and publications. Even the habit of the order is unfamiliar. Those interested in educationa! affairs know the order conducts Georgetown Univer- sity and has large and _ prosperous schools elsewhere. The fact that this will he the only large Roman Catholic college for men in this. section leads to the belief that Nashville may become the Southern center for Catholic education. The mission which Fathers Befver and Power have begun will serve to satis- fy public interest and curiosity in the workings of the great order. To be a Jesuit requires 17 years of study, with severe niental and physical training. As a@ result there are no weaklings or fledg- lings in the Jesuit order. They are sirong men, mentally and physically. Father Leiver is a scholar of high or- der, and ft was he who first offered the theory, now accepted s a fact, that the Stegomyia fasciata was the vehicle by which yellow fever was transmitted and his discovery has saved, thousands of lives. He is a frequent visitor to the leper camp of Louisiana and is recog- nized as a man of genius and a scien- tific and medical leader. City as Church Center. The coming of the Jesuits adds im- meéensurably to the already high stand- ing of Nashville as a Roman Catholic center. Among the flourishing institu- tlons here are the Academy of St. Ce- tilia, St. Bernard’s Convent, St. Mary’s Orphanage, the Home of the Little Sis- ters of the Poor, the Southern House of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and St. Thomas’ Hospital. These are institutions any one of which would be of importance to cities larger than Nashville. The Jesuit Society has had a strenu- ous existence and has at times clashed With the authorities of the church. So powerful has it become that the head of the order is known generally as ‘The Black Pope.’’ The order has been a leader of scientific, religious and pollit- ical thought for years. The mission- aries have carried the gospel to unciv- ilized lands, where tarbarism held full Sway. Yet while deeply intent upon re- ligious, the society has not neglected to ®aiher for the scientific world valuable and accurate data upon the races en- countered, the fauna and flora, and other important matters. The work otf Father Marquette, the explorer, in this country will never be forgotten. And the astronomic world has much to thank Jesuit observers for, while the medical world and the laborers in the fleld of chemistry bow in acknowledg- ment of the valuable aids.

This place is about 100 miles north of Manila and was at that time 30 miles from any railroad. The General’s party made the trip from the railroad under a body guard of 75 ~ = soldiers. At the post Mrs. Funston and her sister, and the wives of two of the cap- tains, were the only women, except natives, for miles around. On the General's staff were the officers and from the hospital there were a couple of doctors. ‘These were the guests who were invited. hot, the little party of Americans in a foreign country did not forget that it was | the dear, old Christmas season in their native land. Although the weather was stiflingly Mrs. Funston decided that she would entertain in true American fashion, regardless of the difficulties which the circumstances presented. “Our first thought was, what shou'd we do for a Christmas tree?’ she said. “There was nothing’ around which geemed to even suggest a tree of th: oonventional Christmas type, unless we use of a banana palm! so we festivities greatly. It had seemed like a little glimpse of home-life again. It meant @ great deal to us just at that time.” When Mrs. Funston first went to the Phillipine Islands eight years ago she had the distinction of being one of the first American women to brave the perils of life in that turbulept land.

She will have hardwood floors with Oriental rugs and warm hangings. “One of the pleasant phases of my life as an officer's wife.”’ Mrs. Funston, re- sumed, “is that I meet so many people who are well worth knowing. ‘Those who have accomplished things whieh are really worth while.

Accordingly I went out an@ purchased each of them a stocking cap. It was awfully funny to see ‘them, they were as delighted’ as though they had some rare newW toy. As they are not used to owning hats, I sup- pose that it will not be surprising if they lose them some place and forget all about putting th on when they go out of doors.”’ With motherly pride Mrs. called the two young men, who had been the subject of eonversation, to come into the room. Possibly it may have been due to an instinctive aversion to being interviewed, but both offered objections to complying with. the moth-- er’s request. At some far distant fu- ture time, it might have been an honor to have been the first newspaper re- porter to have ‘nterviewed the possible generals, but all hopes of such favor were blasted when young Gen. Ar- thur McArthur Funston, aged 5, sald in a tone which left no uncertainty as to his attitude on the subject of inter- views: “You need not ask me to talk, because I won't say anything more.” This was undoubtedly the ultimatumj there didn’t appear to be any hope for an appeal. 7 Being younger and less experiencea it seemed with press representatives, that Brigadier-General Frederick Fun- Funston

The tele- phone girls’ home was inaugurated by an elaborate ceremonial at which ihe Minister of Public Works and the Un- der-Sccretary for Posts and Telegraphs presided, Hundreds of pretty telephone Swarmed in and areund the establish- “nul, and could bhe@idly believe tel eyes that such an elegant hotel should ve theirs exclusively for the future.

engaging pickers, “Much of our cotton is still in the flelds,’"’ said Mr, Simms, “and. unless it is picked soon we will lose a great deal of it. Concho County has only re- cently pegun to produce cotton, and this vear the crop is very large. We are fac- ing a serious situation, and I! have come to San Antonio in the hope that I would be able to employ pickers here.”’ Must Learn to Work, LONDON, Dec. 8.—The following ad- vertisement appears in the Express: “An annuitant, aged 30, who has never done any work In his life, but who will be forced to earn his living in a year's time owing to unexpected cessation of annuity, wishes to offer his services free for five or six hours daily in order to learn trade or profession capable of supporting him.

The telephone girls’ hotel was built by a body of philanthropists. As many of the girls and women employed by .the postal and telegraph department found it impossible to get decent lodging near their work, and had to live in unhealthy garret rooms and eat bad food in cheap wine shops, they conceived the idea of building this comfortable home for them. There are 127 rooms, all well lighted and ventilated, and prettily fur- nished. They will be let at prices vary~ ing from $3 to $10 a month. The meals are from l10c to We including wine. BOMB THROWERS’ ARMS. FORGET THEIR CUNNING, MOSCOW, Dec. 8.—M. Reinboth, the Prefect of Moscow, had a thriliing es- cape from es*ssination. "ne Prefect was walking along Tvers- “oi etrect, C™ Gis Way to attend the opening of a church school, when he saw a weedy youth raise his arm to throw a bomb The Prefect just had time to leap aside before the bomb ex- ploded, and by marvellous good fortune none of the fragments struck him. With the utmost coolness, the Prefect then drew a revolver and shot jiis sailant dead, brushed the dust from his clothes, and progeeded to the opening of the church schpol as though | ruthing had happened. \ The force of the explosion broke all as-

the windows in a five-story house, and did similar damage to the neighboring Ophthalmic Hospital. Gen. Rennenkampf, the famous caval- ry leader, had an equally miraculous ¢s- cape at Irkutsk. A terrorist threw a bomb at him as he was walking through the city accompanied by an atd-ce camp. The bomb exploded within a few feet of Gen. Rennenkampf, but without injuring him. The terrorist, who Was wounded in the foot, was arrested. Wife Should Sue Also.

AMERICAN GIRLS LIKE SCOTCH REELS, JIGS. LONDON, Dec. 8.—There would seem to be a fascination in Scotch dances for American girls. During the late shoot- Ing S€ason at Glenquoich, the beautiful house in the Highlands, leased by Hen- 1g Phipps of the famous American Steel chest, reels, flings and strathspeys wer Phi rder every night after dinner, Mr. pps Own daughters and the other american young women of his large vat cage always took part with the st enjoyment. Many of them were Oxpert dancers. The palm, however, was willingly yielded to Miss Gladys Grace, the youns- est and now only unmarried daughter of M. P. Grace, the American million- aire, who, a year or two ago, bought Battle Abbey. Miss Grace's constant partner is said to have been Lord Levat, Who is regarded as one of the best Sword dancers in Scotland. Lady Craven, who is a daughter of Mrs. Bradley-Martin of New York, wnose husband has taken a jong lease of Balmacaan, another Inverness Prop- erty near Glenquoich, is a graceful |dancer of reels.

PETERSBURG, Dee. 8.—The as- sertions affecting Count Witte which were made during the proceedings of the trial of the Council of Workmen's Delegates, have induced the ex-Premier to send a letter to the Novoye Vermya in which he points out that the organi- gation of the Workmen's Council and of other revolutionary aS*SOc lations as well as the strikes, occurred prior te Oct. 31, 1906, that is, at the time when he was in the United States. Count Witte declares that he never held any communication with the Pregj. dent of the Workmen's Council, and that he does not know him personally nor has he ever had any offcia! or pri. vate relations with the counci! ‘n ques- ‘tion. Whether in ordering the arrest of its members, concludes the letter. the government acted correctly can only be shown by the future, when it wij b possible to form an impartia] judgment of the state of affairs For the present he, Count Witte could only say that, should he be placed in the unfortunate position of having te act with regard to St. Petersburg jr, the same circuinstances as dyring the last months of 1905, he would a¢t in the ear, way as he did at that time. — “ry?

I am at peace with the whivle world now and never again expect to sell whisky.”’ Turner's first speech large and interested Bast End, where he phen Owsley made of local option. lee A.

IT’S A BAD PRACTICE to load up the stomach with a promis- euous variety of rich, indigestible food at night because it ‘‘tastes’’ good. STRENGTH WITHOUT BULK is a requirement of an ideal _ food for the last bite before going to bed.

ANGRY SPIRIT REACTS. SCENE OF LONG AGO Mind Reader Carried Back to ‘the Days of Prehistoric Sacrifices,

STORY OF A SKELETON

_ Describes Rites of Druids, Kill- ing of Virgin, Seen in Vision.

WIFE SEES SAME SCENE

Remarkable Incidents Follow- ing Unearthing of Old Bones in England.

LONDON, Dec. 8.—A weird and thrill- ing scene of 2500 years ago was recon- structed a few days ago in matter-of- fact Bayswater. It was the death seene of a virgin who was sacrificed by the Druids near Stonehenge to the sun god, and whose skeleton has just been removed from the ‘“‘barrow’’ in which it has rested since -the early bronze age. The discovery or the bones, which were at first thought to be those of a Druid priestess at Avebury, near Marl- borough, has been described in corre- Spodence to the Post-Dispatch. There were also weird manifestations in the house where it was attempted to store ~ bones until the archeologist who had unearthed them could remove them to his museum. The manifestations continued until the bones were replaced in the “barrow,’’ or mound, which are to English curio hunters what Indian mounds are to Americans. Then sev- eral articles that had disappeared dur- ing the reign of the skeleton were re- _ stored as mySteriously as they had gone from sight. The story of the re- constructed scene is told by the Ex- press:

Sees Scenes of O14. The surroundings were prosaic enough —a modern sitting room, in which were seated an Express representative and Ronald Brailey, a psychometrist of note. Placing against his forehead a smal! Object removed from. the barrow, Mr. Brailey closed his eyes and remained silent for a' few minytes.. Then, speak- ing slowly and quietly, he began to relate the following strange tale of the human sacrifice with which the object had been connected: ‘I see some huts. They are just like the wigwams of the North American Indians. I can see the poles sticsing up quite plainly, and they are covered with 6 skins of animals. There are quite @ number of them. “In the distance there is a large pile of stones, some square, some oblong and some triangular. I fee] it is about two thousand five hundred years since the scene occurred. “A number of half-clad men and wom- en are squatting about among the huts. It is summer time, and the sun is shin- ing brightly. ““I see this woman walking about, @nd with her is a patriarchal man With a. very long white beard and White hair. She is about 5 feet 7 inches tal! and 20 or 22 years of age. Her features are rather long, her eyes very dark, her under lip rather full, her nose wel] shaped and round, and her long black hair falls over her shoulders, “The upper part of her body is nude and around her loins is some kind of fur. There is a roughly made crown of some sort cn her brow.” . Preparing (or the Sacrifice. There was a short pause, and Mr. Brailey went on again: “Now it is night time, and I am inside a circle of huge stones. All around a numbcr of people are stand- ing outside the circle in the darkness, I.can see lights reflected, but I do not think there are any torchos; I think boughs of some tree, perhaps Pine boughs, are being burnt, but I cannot see them. “Inside the circle of stones there are one, two, three, four, five priests. The one who seems to be the prin- cipal priest has a long white beard. In the center is a flat stone on top*of two other stones placed at either end. A great deal of smoke is rising, but I do not see where jit. comes from. “Now the woman is being brought into the circle by two more priests. They lift her up and place her on the stone. Some hideous figures like idals are also being brought into the ring. One of them, which I see very clearly, ia colored bright red and yellow, and on its breast is a very crude picture of the sun. “The woman is lying with her head toward the east and her feet toward the west, and the chief priest is stand- ing on her left side, with his face toward the east. His right hand holds a knife and is raised up. Evidently a chant is being sung, for I can see the mouths of the priests opening and shut- ting, and they are swaying their bodies Slightly from side to side. Vietim Is Killed. “Suddenly the priest brings the knife right down into the heart of the girt. I can see the blood spurt out and flow over the stone. The body ves a bound, and the priest presses forward his left hand to keep it down. “The people have disappeared, but the priests remain, and they are bringing forward vessels bulging in the center and slightly tapering toward the bot- tom—something like an egg in shape. One brings a ‘grape cup,’ from which smoke is issuing. ' “Some small part of the body ts re- moved and pleced on top of the grape cup, .where it shrivels away and is turned Into ashes. The ashes are placed ~in- one of the jars, and other parts of tha body are then treated in the same w ay. | “Skins of some kind are placed over the body, and it is borne away on a litter. “All is darkness now, and I can see nothing. Now 1 see the moon. It its strange I did not see it before. We have come to an open spot like a giade in a wood, "Only a dozen or so priests are pres- ent, and they perform strange ceremo- nies. They form a ring round the body, dance round it. heir movements most grotesque. They bend them- es forward and backward, to one side and to the other. They have tak- en up the body again, and are going on “Shey come to a grave shaned like a littie cell. They place the body tn thig, bending it up with the face to the east. They put some ornaments In the grave, and they place fruite in the grave cyn, “Now it ts utter darkness—the dark. ners of the grave.” “Man a Human Phonograph.

IN MURDER DREAM Fall Only Bruises Man Who Would Probably Have Been Killed if Awake. LOGANSPORT, Ind.. Dec. $.—After jumping from the window of a passens ker coach while the train was running through the south yards in this city, at a rate of 40 miles an hour. and es- caving with only a few bruises, B. F. Hall, who gives his address as Boone- head, W. Va., and his destination as Vertigo, Mich., is recuperating at one of the local hotels before resuming hs journey, ; Hall was a passenger on Pennsylvania train No. 21, westbound from Columbus, O., to Chicago. He boarded the train at Columbus and while en route to this clty fell asleep in his seat. Just as the train was entering the south yards, over aA mile from the passenger station, Hall suddenly jumped up in his seat, raised the window, end before any of the other passengers in the car were aware of what he was about to do, he jumped through the window. Joseph Kenney, conductor, of this city, was in charge, and when he was told that a man had jurped through the window he stopped the train. By this time the train was near the station and instead of backing up, an engine as sént out to pick up the man, who was found sitting up on the track. He was placed in the engine cab and immediately brought to the citv and taken to the office of Dr. J. P. Hether- ington, the company physician.’ On ex- amination it was found that not a bone had been broken and that his injuries did not consist of more than a few painful bruises. How the man es5- caped being killed is a mystery. In explanation of his action, Hall told the doctor he had lost . several nights’ sleep recently and was com- pletely tired out when he got on the train at Columbus. Falling asleep in the car he dreamed that he was in a fight, and fearing he was: about to be killed, he raised the window and jumped from the car. Had he been awake the probabilities are his thrilling leap would have béen fatal. His body fell on an- other track and luckily there were no other traing passing at the time. Two Kinds of Intemperance. LONDON, Dec. &.—Inquests were held at the Stepney Coroner's Court the saine day on a ‘woman who died from heart disease caused by excessive tea drinking and a man who was killed by drinking too much whisky. .

— +-— Here Mr. Brailey saw another vision of strange beings dancing in a circle with torches in their hands and chant- ing. Bones Disturbed; Spirit Angry. “TT do not think it is necessary to hold a seance,” he said, “as the dem- onstrations have ceased. Haunting spir- its invariably demonstrate théir pres- encé by physical demonstration, pro- ducing waves of a disturbing and often of a distressing nature, “In this case, if the main facts are accepted as correct, the demonstra- tions would indicate that the spirit be- came disquieted because its earthliv re- mains were disturbed. Cons'dering the long period since the burial this partic- ular influence must have been still chained for some reason to the mate- rial surroundings, for if it were not so the spirit would have entered ad- vanced spiritual spheres where there would not exist any consciousness of the disturbance of its earthly taber- nacle. ; “Further disturbances may occur if the bones are not buried, and I have known instances of serious trouble be- ing brought on pecple in sirnilar circum- stances.”’ Qn returning home Mr. Brailey hand- ed to his wife, without telling’ her what it was, the matciibex containing the ob-/ ject removed from the barrow. imme- diately she saw a pictufe of the girl and described her, the only difference from her husband’s description being that the girl was seen with a white cloth hang- ing from her head. She also saw a curi- ous knife, shaped like. a spearhead, @ heap of stones, such as Mr. Bralley aft- érwards described, and a very tall man, finely built, with dark hair and shaggy beard and mustache. and a garment that hung in folds about him. Mr. Brailey saw the picture at the Same time. ss “IT spoke to the spirit,” he said, “and tried to comfort her, but she did not re- ply. Her face was very downcast, and she appeared to be in great distress.; It was then that I realized that she mad been a human eacrifice. eo ale wee ee

ee Promise to Duma Prohibited Making of New Land Acts for Serfs.

ee ae DEMANDS TOO RADICAL LONDON, Dec. 8.—Dr. Dillon, the well-posted St. Petersburg correspond- ent of the Telegraph, sends the follow- ing to his paper: | At first sight the attitude of the Rus- Sian State towar’s the agrarian ques- tion strikes one as almost tragical. The Czar’s advisers are aware of the land- hunger of the rural masses, and are willing and able partially to satisfy it, yet they must waive their intention be- cause of a one-sided engagement taken by the Crown. According to that promise, no per- manent law shall ever again be made without the assent of the nation’s rep- Tesentatives, and congrously with the Program of these representatives, the @gricultural class shall not be relfeved by any Cabinet but one composed of their own members. Thus, the Crown and the deputies are fired by. zeal to shower boons upon the horny-handed REFORMS FROM OLD tillers of the soil, but neither of the two Can carry out the laudable scheme Without the good wi'l of the other; and ‘hat good will is not to be hope for. On the one hand, the peasants, im-| poverished, are clamoring for land, ask- ing that it should become their own to} till, improve, mortgage or sell; on the other hand, the Government has ltabo- riously scraped together a large quan- tity of arable soil, and is willing to let the husbandmen possess it, not merely, as heretofore, jointly with others, but fully. But the dead letter of a badly worded law forbids the reform. The Farmer's Position. Heretofore the mooshik could dispose | of the harvest, but not of the soil that produced it, whereas to this, too, he has a right because he has paid the redemption tax for over a generation, and therefore the farm which he culti- vates has really been bought by him.

In order to keep them well up to the mark, M. Stolypin has trained a band of zealous s#bdecialists, themselves ardent reformers, for wha: ho terms the apostolic mission of regenerating the peasantry. These men have just started from the capital for the provinces to communicate to the commissions the en- thusiasm which they caugmt from the Premier, whose furor laborig has fired them all. Nations are like boys at @ public school. There come times wnaen they must pass an examination or get their remove into a higher class on pain of being eliminated. History records many

The feat might be easily achieved if only the t about the assent of the Du- ie might even still be achieved... in Uy spite of that clause, men of resolute ac- | eo tion say, if only the Premier recollected that he is living in revolutionary times. when no party, no Government, scruples “to stretch a point.’”’ Inter arma silent leges. To win the sup@#ort of the rural classes—so easy if remedial legislation were passed—may become impossible if it be delayed. Success covers a multi- tude of sins and all manner of pecca- dillos. “Truly the temptation is strong,’ M. Stolvpin virtually answers, “but the | word of the Czar is the word of the Czar; it shall be kept faithfully and fully, however unwelcome the conse- quences. The Emperor must be able to say, ‘Quod scripsi scripsi.’ ”’ New Stretching of Law. Thus abandoning the brilliant project which needed ‘‘the stretching of a tech- nical point,’’ as somebody expressed {t, the Government has addressed itself to the more modest taSk of relieving the peasant in a roundabout, but very ef- fective, way. Debarred from making a new law, it officially interprets exist- ing legislation, putting upon it the con- struction which is most favorable to the farmers. And one cannot but admire the inge- nuity with which the principles under- lving former statutes are pressed to their extreme consequences, and made to yield far-reaching concessions, which, down to a few months ago. were not even suspected. And the feat is ac- complished without doting violence to any statute. The lawyer who drew up the 18 clauses and the preambles of the reform, which will be published in a day or two, is a credit to his order. lils ‘interpretation’ is a genuine tour de torce. The projects of the Duma were the handiwork of doctrinaires: they smelled strongly of the midnight oil. They con- sisted of a mixture of old Russian no- tions with certain ideas of Henry George. One might say of them what the Old Sectarians once contentedly re- marked to Czar Alexander III: “In thy innovations we hear the voice of olden times.’”’ But the old Russian notion, dear to the Duma, of communal! in lieu of individual owenrship has long since been exploded? The Government which for six months has heen endeavoring to remove the peasants’ grievances had to keep clear of it and keep to the trunk line, so to say, by which the agricultural classes of all nations wend their way to pros- perity and progress—namely, liberty and property; but orderly Ifberty and Mmdl- vidual property. Three Reforms Worked Out. The task was difficult, because some of the new principles had to be pressed laboriously out of old laws. Rut it had been brilliantly performed, and the three innovations which will henceforth constitute the groundwork of Russia’s agricultural progress are the lowering of the rate of interest on loans already granted, full owner- ship of the land, and state credit to the peasants for agricultural im- provements as cheap as the credit of- fered to the nobles. Of these three measures by far the most important ig that which enables the hushandman to become the real owner of his farm and to sell it if he will. For it constitutes the second and final emancipation of the Russian serf. his rescue from the claws of the commune, ang ft is apparently fraught with more beneficent results to him and the nation than was his Tibera- tion from the yoke of the landlord 45 years ago. 7 Yet this all-important legislative act is being introduced, so to say, at the fag-end of a juridical interpreta- tion. To trace the curve lines of legal logic along which the Crown juris- eonsults have reached their goal would be mentally invigorating. It is like reading the clever solution to a ceemingly insoluable problem. In a newspaper article, however, this is impossible. Perhaps a singie spect- men may be admissible. Bonda of the Serf. What is the good, asked the lawyers, of getting land to be distributed on easy terms among the farmers if the farmers cannot go to it? And how can a mooshick whose inadequate holding is situated in one part of the empire buy a lot which is 1000 miles distant from it? Clearly he must first sell his present allotment and quit his commune. But this, as the law now stands, he is pre- eluded from doing. How can this per- mission be granted to him and the law be respected? That is the question; and this is the answer: When the communities of emancipated neasants received land, in 1861, the in- tention expressed by Tsar Alexander Il was to make the community a volun- tarv association. Every member ws free to sever his connection with it and demand his full share of the property, after having first fulfilled his duties, among which was the payment of the

was promulgated which virtually took away that liberty and turned the vil- lage community into an obligatory as- sociation. After that nobody could really get his share of the land and dis- pose of it. Every peasant was in the power of the Mir, or community in which he breathed, moved and had his being. Not only could he not cut his ewn moorings, but he might not send his children to town to learn a trade or a profession without the authorization of his fellow members, which was often denied. oMreover, he was jointly re- sponsible for all the arrears of taxation in his commune, and, although he might have raid his own share to the full, was liable for that of his neighbors. In a word, he was and is a slave. Taxes Canceal Obligations. Now the lawyers. analyzing the let- ter of that fateful law, find that it de- termines its own duration, by the words, “until the redemption tax is paid up.”” Therefore, once the redemption tax has ceased, the restrictive law falls by its own weight, as it were. Now. the crown having remitted the arrears of the redemption tax, decided that ji: should cease altogether at the end of this year Therefore. on and after the first day of the New Year, the village commune is a voluntary association, each mem- ber of which has a right to demand his own share of the common possession, and do what he likes with it. But if he has this right, it ie meet that he should also be able to exercise it. The next step. therefore, is to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of this.

But when he arrived at the Union Sta- tion, Mrs. Cabot says, that instead of being met by mourning members of the family he was welcomed by the trio of young gentiemen with brains and with- out scruales. These young men persuaded Cabot that he should go with them. For three days he was in St. Louis without his family knowing anything of it. Then a friend of his father saw him and he was captured and taken to his home. There he refused to say anything of@the escapade. His parents got the:r knowl- edge of the bogus telegram through the school authorities. But just about the time the affair was beginning to blow over Mr. Cabot began receiving bills from several down- town shops where he had never made any purchases on credit. The bills were for*such items as $8 suits of silk under- wear, $3 silk socks and expensive shoes and boots and other articles of clothing. The bills amounted to about $00.

LONDON, Dec. 8.—The State banquet in St.George’s Hall, Windsor, in honor of King Haakon and Queen Maud, was @ dazzlingly brilliant function. The hall was built for such occasions. It is 200 feet in length, and will dine sev- eral hundreds of guests in comfort. Paintings of British sovereigns, all by great masters, adorn the walls. The tables for the banquet were placed lengthways down the center of the hall. The King’s Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard were on duty near the buffets, on which were placed a selection of the famous gold plate, and the band of the Grenadiers rendered a selection of muSic during the dinner and played the Nor- wegian and British National Anthems for the entrance of the royal procession @nd for the toasts, About five tons of plate, valued at more than $5,000,000, was in use. It 1s not, however, of solid gold, as ig gener- ally supposed; it is mainly silver-glit. Were the large pleces solid gold they would be absolutely immovable. As it is, some articles require two, and even four, men with the aid of a truck to transport them. Eight Plates Load for Man. The famous Bmperor's service, used ‘only for crowned heads, was on the table. Some of its epergnes weigh sev- eral hundredweight. It takes one man to carry two or three dishes or eight plates. This set also includes some hand- some and heavy candelabra. many exquisite and buffets, the princi- Apart from. these, pieces were on the tables of which the following are al: PThe modern rose-water fountain of silver, designed by the late Prince Con- Bort, weighing 2380 ounces; the famous Flaxman punch bowl, a flagon taken from the shin of the admiral of the Spanish armada. 1588; the ‘‘Nautilus”’ cup, by Benvenuto Cellini, with shell of pearl and mouPtings of gold and silver; a shield from the same great ariist, and the world-renowned gold tiger’s head from Tippod Sahtb’s throne, taken at the storming of Seringapatam in 1799. The walls and recesses of the hall were faced and filled with towering waving palms and choice exotics, while on the tables r6ses, maidenhair ferns and a wealth of orchids were displayed with” magnificent effect. All this floral display came from the royal gardens at Frogmore, where .the glasshouses cover more than twenty acres. If the orchids for the, state banquet had been pur- chased their cost alone would. exceed Pineapples and Strawberries. Vast quantities of fruit were also sent from Fregmore; pinéappless, weighin eight pounds-each; suchas are st plied all the year round for the royal table— one or more each day; piles of luscious strawberries from plants which vield upwards of three thousand pounds of fruit per y@ar; peaches, bananas, Jap- anese date plums, grapes from vines which give a daily supply from January to December, as well as apples, pears and nuts.

An effort to this end should at least prove interesting and significant. Not since the world began, perhaps, has there been a more practical generation than ours moving about on its crust. What the mischief do we care about fairies? They never did and never will exist in reality, and even if because they're foolish little folk this were not the case they’d cut no ice, who believe in such idle things as beauty and fun, singing and dancing, sky- larking about in the moonlight or playing elfin tricks in the sun-flecked depths of the forest when day is at its meridian. Never a thought of money- bound straight for them—but of their hea ds—they'’d all be existence in fact. Out to us In Will Shaksneare’s antic getting has entered any the Poorhouse had they any real hold! Let's wait and see how they ap peal Dream—it may be worth while. Especially since, for some astonishing reason, upon fairy stock seems to have taken an upward spurt in the world’s playgoing marts of late. Not only has little Annie Russell made what appears to be the hit of her life as Puck, but just consider, if you please, the tremendous vogue of sweet Maude Adams in “Petdér Pan,.”’ as unabashed A fairy tale as Shakspeare’s own, or even as any that came from the chi'dlike German brains of the Brothers Grimm. It’s the marvel of the moment, this sudden trend of a materialistic generation toward the things dear to a younger, more poetic and happier world, and_ there's something behind it that is full of mea ning for all of us. We can’t divine the meaning now, maybe, unless it is that we're simply dog-tired of materialism, but, anyway, let’s associate with the fairies awhile and see if they make pleasanter companions than the overfed real-life folk who run other peogle down in $10,000 automobiles and smell of gasoline and new-made money instead of hydromel and new-mown hay. All hail, Titania—we'll try one whirl, at any rate! Then, too. there’s another novelty on the decks—a Civil War play written from the Southern point of view by a Down East Yankee—-this military drama called “On Parole,”” which opens at the Garrick tonight. Here’s a pretty prob- lem for you, that of Now to disvose of this play, either in the event of liking er disliking it. If playgoers of Southern traditions find it entirely acceptable, what becomes of the time-honored assertion that no man of Northern bood and training can take a fair view of Ssuthern sentiment and conditions as found in the Terrible ‘60s? If, on the other hand, it offends playgoers of Northern rearing, how can it be disposed of, with the charge of Southern prejudice rendered nul! and void by the author's nativity and associations? It’s rather a piquant situation, and I'm distinctly curious to see how tt will work out. There's but one sensible way it ought to work out by this time— 40 years and more after the war—and that’s in a general handshaking :!1- round on the part of us Americans, There's been enough hatred and bitter- ness and misrepresentation on both sides—cut it out and start fresh! In the meantime, ring up the curtain on this Johnny Reb play by a Union man and let's see what it’s all about. ° | “Checkers” comes back to the Century this evening—the play that first put Henry M. Blossom of St. Louis in the public eye and was so successfully followed by “Mile. Modiste’’ and “The Red Mill.’’ This is the fifth or sixth visit of “Checkers,”’ I believe, but protest doesn’t seem in order in view of the fact that each successive visit has resulted in the drawing of larger houses IT reckon we'll have to put this first Blossom play in the “Way Down East” class of perennial stage blooms and just Jet it go at that To the Grand comes the Victor Herbert and Glen McDonough musical spec- tacle, ‘‘Wonderland,”” the Imperial offers us Dolly Kemper in “The Gypsy Girl.’ at Havlin’s we'll see the Blaney melodrama, ‘‘Across the Pacific,’’ with new vaudeville at the Columbia and extravaganza and specialty at other houses. a Of the brilliant Sothern-Marlowe engagement at the Garrick during the week just closed, the most memorable production was that of Percy Mack- aye's poetic drama ‘Jeanne d’Arc.”’ Miss Marlowe and .Mr. Sothern alike showed to their best advantage in this play, and, to my thinking, in their proper relative positions, Mr. Sothern playing a graceful leading man to Miss Marlowe as a star. I didn’t care for Mr. Sothern as “John the Baptist,” as I told you in my review of Tuesday night’s performance of the Sudermann play, nor for his Heinrich In “The Sunken Bell,”’ wor do I believe that he will ever justify his assumption of such roles. He's a star of the first magnitude in light comedy or romantic drama, but he diminishes in stellar brilllancy when he wanders out of the orbit in which nature set him. I'd like to see him resume the consistent career which he began so finely with his first success, “Lord Chumley.”’ As for Miss Marlowe, she impressed me this week as coming nearer to the ness for which she at one time seemed destined than in ten years or more past. There’s a revival of the dramatic fire that waned in her soul for a time, and her Jeanne, her Salome, her Rautendelein and Ophelia of: the engage- ment just closed were admirably illuminated by it. I do believe that if the Shuberts, or David Belasco, for choice, were to take hold of Miss Marlowe with a full appreciation of her genius, five her every opportunity of support, encouragement and amplitude of production to which she is en- in one season's: time l've never felt environment, : titled, and then boom her to beat the band, she'd spring to the heights for whose scaling she is equipped by nature. about Miss Marlowe until now—save in her earlier days—ana f the past week that leads to my present belief in her still quite this way {t's her work o great possibilities. The musical outlook this week is particularly bright. : have the second Choral-Symphony popular concert at the Odeon, with a distin- guished soloist and an excellent program. Tomorrow and Tuesday oven the Hot Time Minstrels will give what promises to be the best entertainment of all their 11 years’ history, a bill full of the richest offerings of melody and fun. Next Friday evening the second subscription concert of the Choral-Sum- phony season takes place at the Odeon —a choral concert at which the famous Davies musical. version of the old mor ality play, “Everyman,” will be ene @uced with four distinguished soloists and the society's chorus and sitar: as the presenting factors. All of which means one of the biggest musical weeks of the season, opera alone excepted. This afternoon we grand REFLECTIONS OF AN OLD PLAYGOER. In “A Midsummer Night's Dream” we'll eee the difference Shakspeare and the “‘also rans”’ in th, fleld of fairy comedy. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if th, applause of “On Parole” this week sounded mightily like the old Rebel yen, “The Red Mill” is Blossom’s Diggoge pit, put “Chneckeis’ now back as the 50-to-1 shot that first put him on the mill road to Gristville. The main difference between the Choral gymphony popular concerts and more pretentious musical offerings ig that ji: costs less to hear the “pops.” New York seems to find Anna Hejas new play, “The Parisian Model,” notable for both its dressing and undregsing. The Shuberts are now booking “Sam Houston’ —evidently on the theory that it takes more than a New York stage death to kill a Texan. Although Melba has copyrighted her name. a praiseful critic can prob- ably use it without fear of prosecution It is cautiously announced that Joe Weper's new play, “Dream will present him in a German role. Who'd have thought it? ‘Patti made her “farewell appearance” jn London the other night—and we might as well prepare for the worst over here.

As a Piano Why the Knabe-Angelus | Appeals to the Musician as Well as the Music-Lover It is a striking feature of the wonderful Angelus mechanism (which can now be had incorporated in the beautiful Knabe Piano, the high- est-grade Piano in the world containing a player mechanism) that it appeals as strongly to the Musician as to the Music-Lover. This is because the most complicated effects can be produced with its aid with the same ease as the most simple composition. It has all the good features of all other so-called players, and many others which are es- sential to the playing of real music, and are positively to be found only on the Angelus, including The PHRASING LEVER The MELODY BUTTONS Withont these two devices no Player is really worth the while, if you want to play dainty music, eliminating the mechanical effects that have been so objectionable in other plavers, The Emerson-Angelus Is a more moderate priced Piano, having incorporated within its case the same Angelus mechanism, with all its wonderful musical possibili- ties, as is encased in the Knabe-Angelus,

—— i id Ohildren’s Fingers Pen Letters Telling What They Hope Santa Claus Will Bring Them Through Generous People of St. Louis—Many Halls Obtained for Dinners. The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund, which will again be the mCAns of giving thousands of persons in St. Louis a happy Christmas, started with the substantial donation of $150 from the Post-Dispatch. Already willing citt- zens have begun contributions which promise to make the annual Christmas dinner the greatest of all Christmas dinners. Although news of the fund has hardly gone abroad, these contributions now amount to about $200, as an excellent beginning of the fund, which will this year be widened to provide toys and presents for 3000 children in St. Louis orphaa asylums and children’s hospitals. The children in the orphan asylums and childrens’ hospitals have not here- tofore been included in the Christmas Festival. This year the committee in charge will see that Santa Cluas visits every one of them. In addition to this the customary hos- pitality of St. Louis will be extended as heretofore by the Christmas Festival 80 that no mgn, woman or child within its borders shall do without a real Christ- mas dinner. Those who cannot attend the fectival in seven big halls in va- rious parts of the city will haye a bountiful dinner sent to them by a spe- celal committee in charge of this branch of the festival. Each boy and girl will receive a Christmas box containing tops, balls, dolls, books and other suit- able Christmas presents direct from Santa Claus... : The magnitude of the festival for this year can easily be. seen, and prosperous St. Louis is urged to make larger con- tributions than ever so that no child shall weep fn” disappointment over a stocking that Santa Claus passed by. Every: contribution will be gladly re- ceived... “Every little bit helps’ in the Festivai Fund as in other causes. At the last meeting of the Executive Committee of the Christmas Festival, chairmen of various committees ‘report- ed that the work w4s progressing most favorably. ens Several Halle Obtained, - Taylor Stith, chairman of the commit- tee in charge of Post-Dispatch Festival Branch, District No. 1, Carondelet, re- ported that Germania Hall had been ob- tained for the Christmas dinner in that district. H. J. Bube, in charge of the Second District Branch, said the com- mittee had obtained Concordia Hall, Thirteenth and Arsenal ‘streets for the dinner in that district. L. F. Hammer Jr., chairman of the committee in Dis- trict No. 3, and A. H. Fredericks, chair- man in the Fifth District, central down- town branch, reported that they would rent halls soon for the festival dinners. Charlies F. Ziebold of the West End Business Men’s Association reported that the Northwest Turner Hall, 3948 Easton avenue, had been obtained for the dinner in the Fifth District, West The dinner in the Sixth finghaus Mission, as at last Christmas, because of the withdrawal of the mis- sion for repairs.

Letters to Post-Dispatch. Talk of Christmas and Santa Clause uguin has fully awakened the interest of the children and chubby fingers are beginning to write letter to Santa Claus through the Post-Dispatch., Some of them tell in childish characters of what their little thearts hope for from the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival. Oth- ers, more fortunate, have begun to send their pennies that other children may not want for Christmas joy.

The city will be thoroughly covered by the committees of various departments of the Christmas Festival. Application for Christmas baskets for those unable to attend dinner at one of the halls must be made to one of the following organizations: The St. Paul de Vincent 2 22 ] Society, the St. Louis Provident Associ- ation, the: Salvation Army or the He- brew Relief Association. This is neces- Sary to insure delivery of the baskets. Children’s hospitals and orphan asy- lums, otherwise not provided for, will obtain Christmas boxes for each child if application is made to W. H. McLean of the Provident Association, 1623 Wah- ington avenue, In addition to this the committee ex- pects to provide an entertainment, a Christmas tree and Santa Clauses at each of the children's hospitals and orphan asylums that apply. The baskets for distribution will be in charge of P..M. Hansom, as at last year's Festival. V. O. Saunders, manager of the In- terstate Merchants’ Association, 1002 Century Building, writes as follows: “Inclosed please find check for Xmas to those who might not have any were it not for the Post-Dispatch.”’ ee ee ee M. BR Collins’ Chickens Gone. M. R. Collins of 4063 Lindell boulevard is a chicken fancier. He fancies them served in almost any style, roasted, stowed and fried. He also fancies them alive. Until recently he had a nice chicken house in which he kept 16 fowls. It was well stocked and the chickens never made any objection to its furnish- ings. Now it is vacant and Mr. Collins has requested the police to find ,another chicken fancier who fancied his fowls and carried them off. He reported his loss to the police of the Magnolia ave- nue Station. The police, after investi- ating, made their report to Chief Ponear yesterday. They reported that the chickens were irretrievably gone.

Ae tae LE Ct at Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease. a

COSTS NOTHING TO TRY. * The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily does of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall... — It was the universal spring and fall “blood purifier,” tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef- fects of sulphur in a ‘palatable, concen- trated. form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur. In récent vears research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in the drug stores under the name of Stuart’s. Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the ‘active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef- fective. form. Fuw people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifies and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimina- tion of waste material. Our -grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molas- ses every spring and fall, but the, erudity and impurity of ordinary flow- ers of sulphur wero often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con- stipation and purify the blood in a way) that. often surprises patient and physi-, vian alike. ; | Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experiment- ing with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was su- perior to any other form. He says: “For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti pation or malaria, I have been sur- prised at the results obtained from Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. [n patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry Up and disap- pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stu- art’s Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physi- elaris, yet I know, of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kid- ney troubles, and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy. - At any rate people who are tired of pills, eathartics and so-called blood ® ta mga will find in Stuart’s Calcium afers a far safer, more palatable

COLLEGE GIRLS. PLAY HARD ROLES Smith Club Gives Performance to Pay Sargent for Seelye Portrait.

RICH MUSICAL NUMBERS

Appreciative Audience Sees Wm, Butler Yeats’ “Land of Heart’s Desire.”

The members of the Smith Club scored a decided triumph their presentation of “The Land of the Heart's Desire’ by William Butler Yeats, at the St. Louis Woman's Club, yesterday morning. The program proper was preceded by a violin solo by Miss Calvin, ac- companied by Mrs. C, J.. Luyties. The curtains were drawn, disclosing the opening scene of the play before the last strains of the violin had ceatpg producing an effect of uninterrupted harmony. The scene was the interior of a peasant home in the Barony of Kilmacowen, in the County of Sligo, a century ago. in | College | long braids over her shoulders, Her impersonation of character was deli- cate and graceful. Played Clerical Role, The good old Father Hart, the spiritual] adviser of the humble little family, was Miss Mildred McCluney. She wore the regulation priest’s black robe and a white wig, with a three- cornered hat. She managed her voice in a credible manner and her acting Was all taht could be desired. A murmur of anticipation was heard in the audience when the door was opened to admit the “Fairy Child,’’ im- pérsonated by Miss Alice L, Martin. he was dressed in a dainty creation of acordion-plaited, pale-green silk, her hose was of pale green silk and she wore gilt ballet slippers. About her and in her hair were ropes of smilax. Her hair hung in golden curls about her face. Her work was possibly the most taking because of her attractive appear- ance, and was very difficult, but did not require the absolute reconstruction of individuality which Miss Richey’s part did. The object of the performance was to raise money for the St. Louis Smith College Club's contribution to the fund of $2800, which all the Smith Alumni associations have agreed to raise to pay for a painting of President Seelye, by John 8S. Sargent. About 509 guests were present, which testified that the 50 Smith girls of the local club have the popular co-operation of their friends. A chorus of six voices provided inci- dental music at intervals in the play. In the chorus were Mmes. McCandless, Chappell, Morse, Evans, Hannauer and Annan. The patronesses were: Mmes, Geo. O. Carpenter, E, J. Glasgow, Jr., I. W. Morton, J. B. Shapleigh, Phillip N. Moore, Robert Kern, D. 8. Brown, Frank Crunden, J. H. McCluney, John J. Taussig, Stanley Stoner, Robert C.

FASTEST GROWING STORE IN AMERICA

ITS MAMMOTH PICTORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. The largest advertisement ever print- ed in a St. Louis newspaper appears in the Post-Dispatch exclusively today, covering four full pages, two of which are illustrated in colors, the advertise- ment being a beautiful colored supple- ment in itself. This ambitious advertising move of the Grand-Leader demonstrates the con- fidence of the managers of these great retail firms in the value of judicious ad- vertising—which means the placing of their announcements in the most suc- cessful paper in St. Louis in order to reach the buvers of their merchandise. The Grand-Leader, in making tis bold plunge in advertising furnishes an‘ exumple of the returns of the right kina of advertising will bring fn. The prog- ress of the Grand Leader has been re- markable from several standpoints. The crowds that visit the store even now, when the noveity of the new building has worn off, proves the interest of St. Louisans in an undertaking that has the element in it of true American progressiveness. And the _§ startling amount of capital invested in the new store proves the confidence of the man- agers of the Grand-Leader in the growth and progress of St. Louis. And as this tirm has pushed steadily to the front it has been bolder and almost spectacular in its achievements. The latest move of the Grand Leader comes as its master stroke.

Another section specifically gives trust | companies the right to buy bonds of the | United States, State, municipality or |County. There is no specific right given to buy and hold stocks.

Would Forbid Stock Ownership. Bankers object to this ownership of | bank stock, and, it {s stated on good |authority, the Bankers’ Association will ask the passage of a law prohibiting trust companies from investing their funds in stocks of other corporations.

Thomas admitted that if his suit Was successful] he would marry Mrs. Mary Graham of treenwood, who is now occupying a house he is buying.

in 1887 and went to St. Louis County during .the World's Fair. Thomas ex- hibited some of his inventions at the Exposition. When it closed he was so well] pleased with St. Louis that he did not want to go back to Nebraska, Mrs. Thomas did go back. He filed a suit for divorce last March and as Mrs. Thomas was a non-resident, service by publication was:ordered; She heard of the divorce proceedings and ted a mo- tion for alimony. Thomas said he met Mrs. Graham during the Fair. She was keeping a boarding house at that time. He told a Post-Dispatch reporter that it was gen- erally understood among his neighbors in Greenwood that he was to marry Mrs. Graham if the divorce is granted. To Honor Mrs. Davis.

Property owners and heads of institu- tions along the south branch of the proposed railroad protested because, they contended the depreciation of prop- erty along an elevated railroad was al- Ways greater than the damages award- ed by courts. They. asserted that the proper method of rapid transit was by subway. The institutions represented in the protest were Evangelical Lu- theran Church and School of the Holy Cross, at Ohio and Miami streets, and the Lutheran Hospital at Ohio and Po- tomac streets. The Twenty-sixth Ward Improvement Association protested because they al- leged the bill was an assault on the beauty of the city “for the purpose of individual greed.”” The Twenty-fifth and Twenty-seventh Ward Improve- ment associations and the Sarah Street Protective Association joined in the pro- test, which was signed by several hun- dred property owners.

. GETS VERDI UR $20,000 —_- Jury in St. Charles County Gives Him Judgment Against Post-Dispatch.

ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY

Decision Was Reached After Three Ballots, Says Fore- | man of the Jury.

SUIT OVER INTERVIEW

Capt. Tilles Alleged Damage Done by Quoted Atatement of Attorney-General.

A verdict for the plaintiff was rend- ered by a jury in the Circuit Court at St. Charles yesterday in the case of C. A. Tilles against the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Tilles was awarded actual damages to the amount of $25,000. No punitive dam- ages were allowed. Mr. Tilles sued for $150,000. His action Was based on an interview with Attor- ney-General Hadley, published in’ the Post-Dispatch of June 2, 1905, concern- Ing the owners of the Delmar Jockey Club. At the time of the publication of the interview Mr. Hadicy at the request of Gov. Folk had taken steps to sup- press gambling at the Delmar race- track. The jury spent one hour and five min- utes deliberating on the verdict. ‘John Wilke, foreman of the jury, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “We took three ballots. On the first ballot the jury stood eight to four in favor of the plaintiff. The jury was unanimous on the third ballot and we fixed tne damages at $25,000. It was not shown the law had been violated at Del- mar track, and if !t was violated proof was lacking that the plaintiff, who was in Paris at the time the Post-Dispatch printed the Hadley interview, could have had knowledge of such violation.’’ Plaintiff’. Instructions for Jury. The instructions for the jury given in behalf of the plaintiff were as follows: “The Court instructs the jury that it to maliciously defame any is libelous Paper of and concerning such person zs person by publishing falsely in a news- t -if you that he has committed a criminal offense under the laws of this State, or to pub- lish falsely of and concerning him any to provoke or to expose him to pubiic ridicule or contempt, or which deprive him of the benefits of article which’ would him to wrath hatred, shi Pubic confidence and social intercourse and if, therefore, you believe and find from the evidence that the article ad- mitted to have been published by the defendant was published of and con- cerning the plaintiff and was false and had a tendency to charge plaintiff with the commission of a criminal offense or to provoke him to wrath or to expose him to public hatred, ridicule or con- tempt. or to deprive him of the benefits of public confidence and social inter- course, then you are instructed that said article was libelous and your verdict ‘should be for the plaintiff. ‘The Court instructs the jury that the term malice as used in these in- Structions means the intentional doing & Wrongful act without legal justifi- cation or excuse. The Court instructs the jury that it is not necessary in or- inal libe! then in computing the der to make a publication libelous of e plaintiff, that the plaintiff's name be entioned therein, provided you believe and find from the evidence’ that. the publication complained of refers to time, lace and other circumstances with suf- ficient certainty to enable persons. read- ing said article to know that it had Werence to the plaintiff. —“The court instructs the jury that if you believe from the evidence that the article admitted to have been published by the defendant, was pub- fshed of and concerning the plain- tiff and that said article was false @nd that it was libelous. then the law esumes that #s@d article was pub- hed maliciously, and it is not nec- tend

JUDGE CONSIDERS GAS REGULATORS Gas Company Objects to Hay- ing Them Between Meter and the Main. Circuit Judge Fisher has taken under advisement the. question whether the gas of the Laclede Gas Co. shall be regulated by the regulators of the Gag Consumers’. Association. The taking of evidence in the suit of the gas com- pany to enjoin the association from at- taching its regulators to the pipes and for the removal of those already at- tached was concluded yesterday after- noon. Briefs are to be submitted with- in ® days. S. S. Foster, St. Louis manager of the association, testified that Vice-president Cowdery told him the gas company didn’t care what was done with the pipes in the house as the responsibility of the company ceased at the meter. He was asked by Attorney Wernergor the company if the regulators regulated the pressure or the quantity of gas and

tpi regulators Mr. Foster said the quantity was deter mined by the pressure, but the regu- lators only regulated the pressure. John CC. E. Ciark, Commercial agent of the Gas company, said that as a Matter of accommodation to custo- mers he woul@ remove the seals from the meters, to permit the attachment without cutting the pipes, but later he quatipes his testi- mony by eaying that he would do this if the customer wanted to attach a regulator to the housepipes, but not he wanted to attach i to the connecing pipe, over which the com- pany claims control. The question of law which Judge Fisher has to decide is as to whether the householder has a right to have a regulator attached to this connecting pipe.

Nua €e : aes i Almost Unprecedented Deficit Forces Settlement of Enlish Question. By Leased Wire From the New York clined again today, and was fairly de- moralized at the close, and London ad- vices left no doubt as to whether New York is borrowing heavily again in London. The governors of the English bank are among the people who will in- dulge in a good deal of comparing notes over Sunday. “Possibly because of confidence of re- lief by the treasury, possibly because uf its familiar ‘don’t care’ attitude in re- lation to bank deficiencies, the stock market paid very slight attention to the statement. Prices sold off in a desul- tory way before the bank statement was published, lost a fraction more after inspecting the figures, then re- covered briskly and cheerfully, leaving the day’s declines, as a rule, not of any magnitude. The market was more act- ive on the rise than on the decline. “The tneidents of this week, relat- ing to these high call money rates, need to be considered with much re- serve. No one is likely to deny these two assertions—first, that on their face, rates of %*%. 50 or 100 per cent in a great money market which makes

Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Dec. Post, in its market review today, says: “Wall street. Never but twice in the rds of the Clearing-house have te @w York banks reported as great a ficit in reserves ag today's official Statement showed. The $6,702,000 dei- Giency has been matched in the four ange of acute distress in August, 1893; in one week of March, 1883, when the ‘rich men’s panic’ of that genera- tlon had begun. It may have been par- allel in the panic of 1873, but as publica- tion of weekly bank returns was then pended, it cannot be said with cer- minty. Thus, as the year draws to a dlose, we have our money markets re- turning to their recurrent office of the fier months, of pointing. through an most unprecedentedly weak bank ex- ibit. to a wholly abnormal situation. fith such a showing by the Associated nks, most people will be likely to rease expressing surprises at the 25 and i per cent ca!l money market of the eek. The banks, very clearly, had no money of their own to lend, '“As to particulars, the $8,151,000 de- rease in surplus reserves results from 4 loss of $12,265,000 cash, which Is fully /000,000 larver than was anticipated. he loss arises from shipments to in- cities and from treasury with- drawals, tlicse being partly caused py & surplus revenue, but chiefly, bevond any question, by the practice of interior banks checking on their New York bal- ances to pay home dues to the govern- Ment. By this very natural recourse an inland city may actually gain cash from @ treasury by throwing the burden on its eastern depositories. This is a natu- ral incident in the carrying of western balances by our banks. ““These are mere details: the larger question which challenges attention, jn the light of today’s extraordinary bank neh is what the next step will be in pairing these bank positions.

Usually, when experts of an analytical mind are moving for reform, they begin by unearthing the root of the evil: then, having exposed the cause, they proceed to attack it. The peculiarity of the present cam- paign against exorbitant stock ex- change money rates is the total ab- sence of any such scientific method.

The year 1880 was full of them; so was 1890. An inquirer anxious only to get at the facts will presently discover that every year distinguish- ed by call money rates of 25 per cent or higher was a year when America’s banks failed to maintain the ratio ol reserve to deposits required by law. If he is a trained investigator, he will at once @xamine into the reason for this coincidence. In seeking it, he will find another point of similarity. These were all periods of great in- dustrial (prosperity, when bank re- sources were absorbed in legitimate business, and when the stock eXx- change, fixing its eve onthe pros- perity and not on the bank position, undertook an extensive speculation based on borrowed bank money. “Geing further into particulars, the inquirer will discover that the money loaned by New York banks to the stock exchange community at such times was largely money left on déposit by inter- ior banks until they should need it again. Every one knew when it was due to be recalled; the banks and the stock exchange had no illusions on that score. In everyday life people do not build up Business projects on so slender a credit basis. Sut the stock exchange grew excited over the rise in prices eaused by use of the borrowed re- sources and the good-natured banks kept the loans outstanding up the very last moment. “Bventually the owners of these ‘in- terior deposits’ called them home.

In the other the law would at last force the New York banks out of the money market, and the question would then arise how much Must the speculator pay to get money from London or Paris or Phila- delphia or Chicago or San Francisco? The answer would naturally depend on how badly the banks of these markets need their money at home and how in- telligently they measure his needs. But this does not convince. Why, we are asked, do such rates occur in New York and not in Europe. This is a question which can be best an- Swered “Wy another. Why is such Speculation with money only tempo- rarily available, and why is such con- ducting of bank affairs with a pri- mary view of obliging speculators, not witnessed in Paris or London or Berlin’? Would the practices of Wall Street banks be applauded as sound banking in those markets, or “not?

Cotton—The market was very quiet today and irregular. Prices opened firm, and advanced about five points, with January selling up to 19.11, March 10.29 and May 10.41. Prices faded away in the later trading, with the merket closing weak at the bot- tom at a decline of 7 to 8 points of last night's closing.”

Gould of 1720 Olive stree. died on the operating table of Dr. Jo seph F. Mayes of 1801 Olive street yes terday. The chloroform was administered by Dr. IF. C. Barto of 1802 Olive street, who told a Post-Dispatch reporter thal the anesthetic caused Gould violentiy and that he was sinotheved to death by undigested food, which lodged in his windpipe, despite every effort to resuscitate him, ; Gould was % years old, married and worked in the factory of the Embree- McLean Carriage Co., 1819 Olive street, where his fingers were cut off in the shaping machine. He was taken to Dr. Mayes’ office by frank Schlotterbeck, superintendent of the factory. Dr. Mayes cailed in Dr. Barto to administer the chloroform while he performed the operation. “It would never have occurred had it not been an emergency case," said Dr. Barto. “Usually chloroform is used in operations after the patient’s stomach is emptied, but in this instance the need of haste was imperative. The znan had an undigested breakfast in his stomach. Chloroform invariably causes a patient to vomit, as it did in this case. A part of the contents of the stomach which Was thrown up lodged in the windpipe. Every effort on our part to dislodge it and wive relief was of no avail. He died of asphyxiation.

Governors of States and Distinguished Prelates Describe Significance ot Great Christian Festival —The Value of the hristmas Season tu People of Southwest. For Young and Old. BY Ss. W. 'T. LANHAM, Geverner of Texas. O THE young, Christmas is slow to come and its arrival is hailed with delight, To the old its approach is rapid and its coming brings solemn reflec- tion. To the former it signifies opportunity for worldly pleasure. To the latter it means that life is fleeting and its end not distant with consequent meritation. The practica! significance Christmas depends upon the age, circumstance and re- spective viewpoints from which it is consid- ered, according to the temperament and experi- ence, irrespective of its trad tions and what its origin and imply. When young, “its glittering prospect charmed mv eyes.” Since growing old, its usual attrac- tions are less inviting, but from a Chris- tian standpoint it promotes helpful contem- plation. » af Its observance wil be gay or grave, celebration ~~ | & > * y uf. ¢ .

In 1818 Monsieur Bougie was 70 years old, and he had lived for many years in what afterward be- came the Territory and then the State @: Arkansas. INo doubt he gladly sent his son to the war of de- —._fense. There were three companies of the Arkansas Battalion: Daniel Mooney, Captain of the First: James Scull; Captain of the Second, with Charles Bougie, Ensign, and Blassingham H.. McFarland. Captain of the Third. The first Christmas in Arkansas was comme- morated in French Canadian style by the Bougys. TEXAS.

San Antonio was founded in 1718, an¥ in 1722 a royal decree had provided that four hundred families from the Canary Islands should be brought to Texas as Settlers, But it was not until eteht years ae that the first ten or twelve Spanish families +m: y settled in the historic town. fy The mission of San Antonio de Valerb was in charge of Padre Olivares, a brave and devoted priest who had made many long journeys into the vast Texan region. It was to hfs little mission church that the earliest settlers went to pay their deyotions and to worship the Child who w on Christmas Day. It was a Missourian who arranged to take the first English-speaking colony into Texas: Moses Austin did not live to ¢arry out his enterprise, but his son, Stephen F.

It was about 1700 that the first homes of French- men were established in illinois. These men were hardy and bold fellows, voyageurs from Canada, for the most part. In that time, 200 years and more azo, the Christmas festival must have been, simple indeed. ‘ 4 Aif clothing and weapons, except the rude boné and flint implements of the Indians, had to be srought from Canada at the expense of much labor. The vessels in use on the tables of the families who ate their first Christmas dinner in Illinois were get with crude wooden trenchers, a few . pewter spoons, and perhaps some Indian pottery, while the cooking vessels were iron pots. These ear.y pioneers were ministered to by those devoted priests of the Jesuit Order, Father James Gravier and Father Gabriel Marest, names to be remembered-in Illinois history. It was in 1778 that there was a considerable num- ber of English-speaking persons to spend Christmas in Illinois, and these were the mén under Georce Rogers Clark who were to make their intrepid march through the cruel winter*’to ecanture Vin- cennes.

The St. Vrains and Bents from St. Louis had es- tablished themselves in this region, where they had a famous trading fort, known as Fort Bent, and which was visited by many of the traders and travelers through that region. This fort was visited by Col. Philip St. George Cooke of the second dragoons in 1845. The post had been then established ‘or years. There were Indians, French, Spanish and Americans within the palisades. It was by this heterogencous group of people that the Christmas of the Southwest was celebrated. KANSAS. PANIARDS under Coronado, looking for the S fabled wealth of Cibo'a crossed the plains of Kansas in 1341. He did not find the gold he sought, but he spent many months in Kansas and the priest of his party was the first celebrant of Christmas in the State.

They made the Santa Fe trail—a road which was marked out by authority of Congress in 1825, The first Christmas spent by Americans in Ka homes was that of 1827 at Fort Leavenworth, which had been established by the United States army vears this place was the great Western rendez- for both traders and troops. 4 nsas t sy ’ yous KENTUCKY. ARRODSTOWN, afterward called Oldtown, H ‘nad then Harrodsburg, was the first settle- ment in Kentucky, in 1774. Yet the real home-makers, American wives and daughters, did not come to the blue-grass State until the — ing year. The wives and daughters of Daniel Boone i his companions who settled at Boonesborough il. 1775, and. the wives and daughters of Hugh ‘ey Richard Hogan and Thomas Denton, were th arst white women at Harrodsburg.

ORTY years after the discovery of America by F Columbus Europeans} had penetrated into what is now Arizona, for the Spaniards had found the valley of the Cila, and thought i¢ good. 2 ville and de Sugere, with two more frigates, arrived for a second time at Biloxi. In the summer of 1704 a ship arrived bringing four Sisters of Charity and 23 young girls. The latter were all married soon after their arrival. The first white child born in the colony was named Claude Jousset, the son of a Canadian trader, born tn 17065. The first Christmas of Mississippi was celebrated In that year of 1699, but a better and brighter one was commemorated in 1704, after more homes and a greater degree of comfort had been established. + TENNESSEE. ATAUGA, in East Tennessee, was the first W home of white families in what afterwards became a county of North Carolina, and still later, the State of Tennessee. This settlement antedated that of Kentucky, for the first homes were established there in 179% It was the Same move- ment of the frontiersmen and their families west- ward—the same impulse to build new homes, no matter what danger. It was on Boone’s Creek, a branch) of the Wa- tauga, that Capt.

Game was there in abundance along the Watauga, and Bean and his neighbors .rom North Carolina were near enough to the Holston settle- ments to obtain grain with which to make bread.

The bull fights are usually pretty tame affairs, — but the “matador” gets his share of applause when he kills the bull in true Spanish style. On Saturday, Nov. 3, the most important day of the year to all Panamanians (their Independence Day), they celebrated the event with a big bull fight, to whieh all were admitted free of charge. This day marked the third year of their separa- tion from Colombia, when Uncle Sam told them he would recggnize them as a republic so that he could build his grezt waterway.

General work on the canal proper is going along faster each day. All the people here took with favor the news that the canal is te be dug by contract, as t.ere is no doubt that it should. Once it is let to the contractors, Uncle Sam will know approximately what it is going te we about when it is to be completed, and that he ig relieved of many small, petty grievances which, to settle, may make a Government look ridiculous.

HE postal deficit of $10,0v0,000 last year in the United States is now causing a revival of agitation for a parcels post service in this country. It would be a great thing for the Southwest. The outlook ig that the next Congress wil] be forced to recognize that there is some- thing wrong in the present postal system and asked to pass remedial legislation. Unless some action is taken by Congress, the prediction is made by many party lead. ers that the parcels post will have a promi- nent piace in the platforms of the dominant parties in the next presidential campaign. HE parcels post is the most popular remedy for the postal deficit in the public ming. In many quarters where it was formerly looked upon as “Populistie” it is now regaérded with favor J The paroels post has proved so remunerative nnd s0 popular in many Buropean countries that, instead of limiting the service, it has been constantly ex- tended, until now eggs, poultry, laundry, vegetables and almost anything except reptiles is accepted for postal delivery. Germany has a colleet-on-delivery service, in connection, which is now exceedingly pop- ular. One of the chief obstructions te a parcels post serv- ice in America has been Senator Tom Platt of New York, president of the United States Express (‘o He is now old and failing, and no person claims for him his former strength, which has heretofore been used to prevent a parce!s Post In America Re- eent investigations, upheavals and the “moral wave" are expected to help remove the “four reasons” why America’ does not have this service These four reasons were tersely and plain)y stated by John Wannamaker when Postmaster-General. who eald: “It is true that parcels could be ear; at ebout one-twelfth their present cost by the Postottice Department, but you do not seem to he aware that there are four insuperable obstacles to the carrying of parceis by the United States P stoftice Denart- ment. The first of there is tho Adams Express Co the second is ..e American Express Co. the third — is the Wells-Fargo Express Co. and the fourth is the United State# Express Co.’ Reasons for opposition to the parcels post on the part of the express companies have recently been strikingly shown. A struggle by the minority. stock- holders in one of the express companies developed the fact that 40 per cent interest was being earned on the original investment. As a consequence of these large profits being made public it has now been announced that the Rock Island Railway will oust this company from its lines and establish an express company of Its own. Sentiment among the small merchants of the South- west is divided. Some merchants tn small towns fear that a parcels post would further increase the busi- ness of the mail order houses of the cities and roll the last cloud of doom over their stores. But others Civilization and Parcels BY JOHN BRISBEN WALKER. OMMERCE in its final analysis resolves itself into the delivery of packages. As civilization develops, commerce di- vides itself more and more into parcels, and the carrying of packages must play a constant- ly increasing part. a a contend that the parcels pest would, by the aid of the telephone, relieve them of carrying large stocks and enable them, by use of catalogue ana price lists, to purchase and deliver by mail direct from factory and wholesale house just the goods their customers demand. Of the countries which have a parcels post system, Great Britain and Germany lead. Great Britain carries pacsages from Edinburgh or from: Lonaen te + Egypt, or through the Suez Canal to India, and from India to Hongkong, or from Hongkong to Shang ‘ai. and delivers them to the home for 12 cents a pound or three-fourths of the United States mail cnerge from Rochester to Buffalo, a distance of 61 miles. And yet Great Britain is far behing «, rmany in such service. ° ILA St. |.ouls merchant sends a Package of shoes weighing four pounds 10 miles Out. he pays G4 cents A manufacturer in Germany can send a _ax weighing up to % pounds the same distance for 6 cents, o1 less than one-quarter of a cent a Pound.

It has been stated by cumpetent America that a parcels post service by the Tinited States Government would save the feople of the United States $250,00),000 a year, and tnat the smail storekeeper of country towns and villages would ben- efit by ability to purchase goods in small quantity and quick mail delivery, Whereas now the postal price for delivery on packages of merchandise—which can- Postage rates authorities in not exceed four pounds—is 16 cents. and express rates almost entirely prohibit the small merchant from buying small lots of fresh stocks, and he is not able to compete with the county sat store which buys in large quantities. The same authority says that it costs the merchants of large cities from 4 to 50 cents to deliver packages. With a parcels post in operation in St. Louis, for in- if the fate were about one-half cent per cost of delivering a four-pound package would be 2 cents, and at a rate of 1 cent per pound the cost would be only 4 cents. This reduction would enable merchants to make still further reductions in the retail price of goods. And where each mercantile house now has a num- ber of delivery wagons, most of W..ach go out only partly loaded, tnele Sam would have hundreds of wagons in service, all running on schedule, and al- most all of them with full loads. The library associations of the United States: have long been active in an effort to secure better rates for books. They ask that the rate of 1 cent for two ounces apply to all books. They desire even a lower rate, which would make it possible to advance the cause of education by freer circulation of books throughout the country. They object to the four- pound limit as now applied. It is even desired by Officials in the Postoffice De- partment at Washington that the third and fourth class rates be combined at a rate of 1 cent for two ounces. These demands, however, are small. The parcels post now popular in the mind of tne people would carry packages of merchandise at a liberal limit in weight for about 1 cent a pound. The advocates of the parcels post mail service con- tend that the present four-pound limit on packages and the high rate of postage charged by the Goy- together with the express rates, are ham- ndustries and the commerce of the I'nited States. They charge that the United States postal system ‘s antiquated, that It fails to keep step with other advances in other Government depart- ments. : The Englishmen got their parcels post service jn 1986. after years of agitation.

He is omnipres- ent, irresistible, In the Patent Department at Washing ton the 1801st patent has just been issued for a mouse trap, which the Inventer believes to be better than any that has ever before been produced. St. Louis has tried all the 1800 others and found them wanting, and in time it will try the new one. The latest patent for a mouse trap has been issued to Robert L. Stringfellow of White Bluffs, Tenn. His tabbies him from stealing thei his ve ap, ro- trap is eof the cage type. Mr. Mouse is to be led bY a piece ef cheese into an opening to a cage, from which there is no exit. It is the 108th cage of that style to be patented. Of the remaining cages designed to ensnare Mr. Mouse there are five different types. divided into 870 impalement traps, 399 jaw traps, 505 self and ever s®t traps. 257 victim-set traps and 1% wire choker traps. The mice. of St. Louls occupy a far more important place in the affairs of the city than most people | LOULS would belleve., They have frequently been the cause of deep and profound discussions, How to complete- you |ly exterminate them has often agitated the minds of city’s richest sleek and little wisest men. gray-backed rascals Lhe To the talid a is POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 9. 1906.

The mice owe their success to two things—rapidity of reproduction and industry. Their ability to ac- complish an almost incredible amount of work with- i few hours often proves their salvation, enabling m to tear their way out of walls, boxes and even tin eases. The destructiveness of mice is well known. Only re- cently a pile of new coats two feet high was left lying over night on a stock table in a clothing store, In the morning it was found that mice had eaten a hole all the way through the entire pile of coats. And the sole purpose of all that work was to secure materia! for a nest. How to prevent mice from stealing the finest of their ples and cakes and from ruining their silks and satins was the cause of many an earnest consu!ta- tion among the good wives of 8t. Louls before the city had grown to be near the size it is now. in those days many a home-made contrivance served to catch an occasional unwary mouse, but as a rule the little thieves were far too cléver to be caught by devices so crude. Every house in those days wag incomplete without its cat, for cats have always been and are still the only enemy the mouse really fears. In 1836 Thomas Neill invented the first mouse trgp ever made tn this country.

That the unfortunate victime of the cage trap were able to warn their neighbors is probable, since they were not killed until the master or mistress of the house found them, To overcome that disadvantage many traps were patented that would kill the mice instantly. They, too, were succesafui for a time, but the mice learned to avoid that style as well as the first. The sight of their brother or sister lying frat in the trap and unable even to utter a warning proved enough to scare the others away. 2 A third style of trap, one that is always set for the mouse, is called the “self and ever set tran.” Cheese is used as a decoy, and the mouse, to reac’ the choice morsel, walkes on 4 platform.

But the real development of the higher ape-man had to take place in more favoring climes, such as were offered by Australia and the island of Java The family life of these higher apes was the key to advancement. T e union of male arid female was au permanent one, and children grew up about them, forming the first ape-man family. With family life habitation became more stationary. Instead ef ranging at will through the forests, swinging trom tree to tree, one specially fine tree was selected as the “home,” and to it all returned daily after forag: ing for food. The mother-ape remained here caring for her youngest offspring, while the other ehildren the accompanied the father to the woods. Together they tore up the small saplings aroung their home. making the first “elearing,” that they might see their foes at a distance, and this was the beginning of the human home, primitive indeed though it was.
