FACTS REVEALED 10 STRIKE COMMISSION Fully Verified by Investiga- tions Made by a Post-Dis- patch Staff Corres- pondent. . PITIFUL TALE TOLD BY MINER'S WIDOW The anthracite coal strike commission sit- ting in Scranton, Pa., had heard the past week sOme of the most pathetic tales of sufferings endured by the human mine workers and their families and as a result of their employement by the great com- panies. Some of the narratives so simply told Were almost incredible. So touching were |: they in thetr-recitations of human suffer- ings that more than once the members of the commission were moved to tears during their recital. Taken altogether, the stories Gisciosed to public view a story of the harsh side of life in the coal rgzions of Pennsylvania. With a view to establishing whether or mot these remarkable stories told on the witness stand were overdrawn in the tell- ing, a Post-Dispatch staff correspondent made a tour of the districts in question and talked with ev witness whose reci- tal attracted attention during the past week. , The miners around Jedd> are now being cared for in Hazelton, about seven miles Trom their old homes. Severe! of them have been very ilfMas a result of their eviction and” consequent exposure to the fierce winter esteorms that have swert over the coal regions within.the past fortnight. One evicted victim claims Mrs. Coll has died Bince being removed to Hazelton. ©The news that more than forty ¢victions Were sorved in Jeddo the last week, re- nable the first of the year, has stirred ¢ miners to hold meetings to devise means for helping these families. CHAPTER @ A Mother’s Story of Debt, Want and Despair. PAD n Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. AZLETON, Pa., Dec. 13.—Through a Storm of sleet the correspondent drove out #6 Jeddo and found Mrs. Chippie, mother ethe 13-year-old boy who testified before the commission last week. Through an in- ter she told her story. She was one group of ten women and children crowded into a kitchen to keep warm over @ very small coal fire. “My 13-year-old boy comes home at night with his fingers bleeding and his clothes wet by the work of picking out the slate,’’ ehe said. ; “The breaker boss is brutal to these chil- @ren. He knocks them about with his open Nand, making them constantly unhappy. ‘a way of pulling their ears and of slamming them up and down on the break- ~ @f seat if they get tired in the afternoon. You see, many of these boys are not old enough to work, according to law, and so they teH their age is over 21, when they are really younger. “My husband and I came here, hoping that we could get a little money together to buy a stnall farm and get away from this work. We no sooner got to work in, the mill than We-began to get in the debt Of the store of the company, and if we don’t trade at the we get discharged. We were getting and farther in debt, when one day my husband was killed in the mine. He was ordered to pass a kicking mule in a passageway. He objected, but the boss told him to go ahead. He went and the mule kicked down the platform-on his head and killed him. . “Then because the-.mine owners found that I wouhl not sign a paper, promising not to prosecute them, they shut off my coal and work and told me to get out of the company house. “] struggled on till my boy was big enough to go to work, and then when he came home at the end of the month, in- of money, he had a statement show- that we were in debt more and more = i ad that in apite of work. we get deeper ¥ etattot gach ‘The more we worked, the He came home crying one e he paid the boss had pulled said he had not done any- mission. “The boy produced his due bills two months. peevieus to the strike.

That is what happened and I am just after burying_her. “tT am an Ireiand man myself and came to this country when I was 20 and worked in Carbon County till I was married and came here to work for the Markles. When I went into George Markle’s mines I was as strong and healthy as any man you ever saw. When he threw me out of his house after I had served my best years and my strength for him I was a physical wreck, having been blown to pieces more times than I can tell. Once I was crushed under falling coal and all my ribs broken. Once the calf of my right lef was torn out com- pletely. All my legs and arms have been broken time and again. One eye was burned out, and I wear a glass one. You can see that my face and hands are marred and searred with powder. My hands have been crushed time and again.’’ » As the man talked he arose and held out his hands. He is only 57 years old, but looks like a man of 70. “Time and again when my little family was growing up around me have I knelt in prayer and asked blessings on Jehn Markle for taking me back to work after I had been crippled in his mines, trying to earn money for him and a living for me. In those days they never gave any money to a miner’s wife when the man was killed. “Well, when we went out on strike the | 10th of May we were living in one of John Markle’s houses at Jeddo, the little mining hamlet of 16 or 20 houses near his mines. “T was not in debt to him, and I had not traded at the company’s store since the strike of 1900. I owed not a cent tuo any liv- ing man. In my family was my wife ard her mother, who is over a hundred years old, Resides them were two little children, Dannie Dugan and Maggie McGlynn, 10 and li years. We had adopted them. “During the strike, I never threatened any man. I never tried to scare any man. I never threatened Markie. When I met him, I talked with him good naturedly as we did in the o!d days, for all the men liked him once. “Tho strike ended and on Novembcr 1 twelve ofthe men who Lved with their families in the little cottages of John Mar- kle, at Jeddo, were surprised to get notice that in twelve days we mist get'out of the houres. “We though that it was a joke at first. | We tried to find new places. We could not. “We were six months In arrears in our rome peel | ‘Henry, for I can't help it. rent,-of course, because of the strike.

And as I stood there on the steps talking with him, down the road came companies of militia and three wagon loads of deputy sheriffs. The soldiers halt- ed in front of my house and grounded their rifles on my walk. Then the officers came into my house and ordered my wife to get out of bed and dress and they shook the 100-year-old mother and told her to get up. “*You are going to be evicted,’ they shouted at her. ‘“*My God, are we back in Ireland?’ she screamed, and from that hour till this she has never talked straight. “My poor. wife said that she would get up if the sheriff would go out of the room and they stood outside while she got up and dressed herself and then dressed her old mother. The officers were putting out the furniture in the mud and rain. It was not very good furniture, but it was all we had and was dear to us because it was associated with the trials and joys of our 25 years of married life. The soldiers were asked to help put out the goods that were heavy, and they refused. The goods of 11 men were being thrown out at the same time. I am willing to say that the soldiers were our friends during the whole time of the strike. ‘There were militia companies H, K and F, and’ if ever 1 saw men who looked ashamed they did...My wife, nearly choking with tonsilitis, went out and sat’on a stone beside the road with a plece of carpet over her head. And in all the years of troubles, strikes, hungér and sickness that we had been man and wife, I had never seen her shed a tear, but now she buried her face in her hands and cried. Even then she called to me, ‘Don’t mind. me, You are not to You are more of a man than any sheriff or soldier among them.’ “After the i0use was cleared the old woman had been carried out and put.on a chair in the rain and left there, I started to walk seven miles to Hazelton to find a House. The two women and the children stayed in the rain until I got back and then a neighbor got up courage to take the oldest one in and put her to bed. I got an old, damp, tumble-down shack on Broad strect here, and I brought first my sick wife and then her mother to it, seven miles through the storm. By that time the dis- trict union. had awakened and sent teams for. a een the evicted: men and nem, to.

I went up to him and said, ‘John, what have I ever done to you that I should be treated this way?’ “He laughed and said, ‘I guess your mem- ory is short, Henry, but I don’t want to discuss it with you. It’s all in- the hands of the lawyer and sheriff.’ ”’ | CHAPTER III. Worked Seventeen Years and Saw Only $50 in Money. “I am 60 years,’ said James Gallagher, and I was never arrested in my life, and have never been in court. I worked for the Markle’s for thirty years, the best part of ‘ny manhood, ard I always tried to do my best, so that I have a clear conscience. When I was married, years ago, my wife and I used to hope that I should become a boss and get go0d pay and perhaps edu- cate our children so that they would be a little better off than their parents were. Those were days of happiness in spite of the hard times and the long huurs. The years went by and the children came one by one till there are eight now. We traded at the company store in order a get a chance to work. Almost every year I was laid up with some sort of a sickness, 80 that I could not work. Our debt got ahead of us, and all my life I have been strug- gling agains: hope to get out of debt. “One day a friend of mine, a miner, was letting off a charge, when the roof fell in on him and as | went to get out more of it fell on me and both my legs were broken. I waa laid up for a long time—more than a year. But my wife stood by’ me, doing washing, going up to wash the floor of Markle's office and earning all she could. “When she worked for taken out and added to what we paid on the family debt at the company store, but we did not care, for we still hoped for ulti- mate freedom and comfort. All these years there has been hanging over me the fear of death. “Not that I feared for my part, but that leaving Maggie Gallaher alone in the world with eight children and a debt hanging over | her. At times it was awful. This led me to suggest about 26 years ago the estab- lishment of @ leath fund among the miners, so that the cost of burying a man would not weigh so heavily on his wife. “It does not cost much to bury a miner, but a good burial is all that he gets in this life and we lIike him to have that little. So when we have paid the undertaker and bought him a little piece of real estate, 2x6, there is generally little left out of a- hun- dred. dollars.

Wives and Daughters of Markle Miners. debt to the company store, the $25 was cred- ited to the bill instead of grven to him. “You see, we never get money enough to keep this store biH paid up because when we get nearly paid up, we would be half killed in some explosion and would have to lie in bed while the debt at the store grew. “And heaven knows that the miners’ wives never live extravagantly, and are al- ways sparing themselves food to keep down | the debt. It is awful as you grow old and ‘feel youth and strength slipping away to realize that the hopes and ambitions of youth are going because you are in debt, and never will be out. You can’t move away and go into some new work, because you can’t get the money, and will have to pay your bill at the store first, anyway. “When I got out of debt for a little while in my younger days, they, would give the toughest breast to work in, so that I did not make much, and was soon in debt again. “It was a sorry day for me when I saw my first half-g-own boy go trudging off to the mine with his dinner pail and his lamp. He was a fair red-cheeked boy cf 14. He had worked in the breaker at 8 There wasn't a scar nor powder mark nor a bro- ken bone about him. ‘**Never mind, pop, he said, when they brought him home with his arm torn off at the shoulder. ‘I ain't dead yet, and I guess they will not kill me so easy.’ “And they didn’t. He is a precious boy, and after his arm was torn off he studied in the schools and at home nights by the light of his mine lamp till he got to be schoolteacher and came along in time to help pay up the debt at the company store. If it had not been for him»it would never have been paid. “When his arm was torn off and he could walk a little he went down to Markle’s.of- fice and talked with them. You see, he is of a later generation and has some of these new ideas about a company’s moral right and obligations. He told them that they owed him something morally for the arm he lost in their service. “We older ones told him not to go, but he went. We toid him that the Markie company was neither a Sunday school nor charitable institution. They ordered him out. All he asked was $30 to square the surgeon's bill. “Why they picked me out for eviction Perhaps it was because I am getting old and not so good as a miner. Perhaps because my sons are union met and intelligent. “We got notices with the rest. Though I didn't believe that John Markie. bg go that far.

Some- times it is her husband, torn and mangled, and sometimes it is what was her hus- bend. “The sibel of the evictions it rained. My wife was in bed, but when the officers | began to cOme in and carry out the fur- niture I dressed -her and sat her up in bed. If I had been an able man I would have carried her out myself. But I could nor do it, and the coal and iron police carried her out and put her down in the road. After she was chilled through one of the neigh- bors woh was not evicted dared to ask us to come into his house, and allowed me to move my furniture into his cellar, “Then friends took us un and hiren e house for us here and nt #™ was brought down here. She is not as well as she was, and I'm afraid can’t live long. The evic- tioms are not the worst part of this mining trouble. The worst is the little pay and the company store. For seventeen years I was in debt and did not see but $50 in money in that time. “This I got as a special favor when I was buried under the falling coal one time and half killed. I had to have things the com- pany store did not have and that was how I came to get the money.” In similar strain all other stories told on the stand last week were both verified and amplified by the Post-Dispatch corre- spondent’s tour of investigation. ‘GAVE GIFTS AND PARDON King of Italy Generous on the nian sion of the Naming of His New Daughter, Mafalda.

Special to the Post-Dtspatch. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Dec. 13.—The mad Missouri, the most capricious river on the face of the earth, in a playful mood lest Friday night, left the channel it had occupied, close under the Nebraska bank at th.s place, and when Saturday morning dawned the waters of the Missouri were two miles away. Where on Friday had beer a stream and 20 feet of water, Sat- urday was an immense sand bar, four feet above water and extending over thousands of acres. From the playground on the bank, where small boys were wont to throw stones into the swift-running stream, it now requires the assistance of a Mauser riile to reach the water. The Missouri Pa- cilic locomotives formerly took water at Nebraska City, but they don’t any more. The intake pipe of the railroad water tank is. now located in the center of a big sand bar, more than a mile from the water. The city waterworks is out of comrnis- sion. The handsome pumping station, tor- merly on the river bank, with the intake pipe 20 feet out in the stream, is in its accustomed pos.tion, but the stream is not there now and a long line of men are work- ing like beavers cutting a canal two miles to the river, in order that the city may as a water supply and protection from re. BREWERY THE ONLY CONCERN OPERATING. The National Starch Co. cannot run its big plant for lack of water; the mills are closed; elevator service in all blocks is discontinued; everything using water is closed except the brewery. The brewery uses water from welis, and there are d0oz- ens of poo in Nebraska City who are returning thanks for those welis. ‘he boat landing, where the ligtle ferry formerly made its landings, looks funny in a place where on.y a boat running on sand could land, while the small govern- ment dredge boat, which had tied up for the winter, is in no danger of breaking its moorings and wandering off across the two miles of sand-bar to the swift-flowing Mis- souri. “Old Muddy’’ has long been known as a fanciful stream. When it decides to change its bed and to take its channel to another part of the country, only riprapping aireauy built can stop it. Twenty-five years ago, when it decided to leave part of Omaha out of its course, every effort was made by tne peopie and by the government to keep its waters in its original bed, but to no pur- pose. In two months the river had changed its location and gave to Nebraska an im- mense sice of lowa lands. But that change required time to make. Not so with the change at Nebraska City.

Years ago the Burlington Ral!road rip- rapped its big Nebraska City bridge over the stream. in preparation for an emer- gency of this kind.

Beginning two miles above the city there is a narrow bavou running from the open water down ast the intake pipes of the waterworks. ut the bed of this bayou is above the present surface of the water. Workmen have constructed a primitive “lift’’ and are attempting to force enough water into the bayou to fill the city stand pipe to be held in reserve in oase fire should break out.

It is feared the same person may take ad- advantage of the lack of fire protection and set fire to a building in the business t of the town. Should this be done, the flames will simply burn themselves out of material, as the city is without any pro- teétion whatever. MISSOURI GAINED IOWA LANDS. . An echo of the doings of the Missouri in the way of changing its channel was heard in’ the United States ‘Court at Omaha last week. This echo was in the nature of a lawsuit recover lands which tle ails. oS ES Se ee SP the river ran where once was the main’ street of the town. But in the fullness of time, the capricious oid river again changed, and where St. Marys had formerly been, and where the river's muddy waters had run, there now stands one of the finest farms west of the Mis- souri, al hough the land lies in Iowa. So changeable is the river that the federal courts have decreed at.the stream shali not constitute the border between neigh- boring statea. but that the state line is where the river ran when the state was surveyed. Nebraska City can’t wait 50 years for the return of its river, nor can it ‘go to the river.’’ Hence, the river must come to Nebraska City, a every effort on the art of the city will made to induce and orce the recalcitrant stream to return to the place in which its waters have run from time immemorial.

WOULD PREVENT STRIKES The Plan Is to Attach Letter Boxes to the Street Cars in Big Cities—To Be Given a Test in Washington. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13:.~—Labor organiza- tions are preparing to make «a protest against the plans of the postoffice depart- ment for using the street cars for collecting | the mails. A committee of experts has been examining a» patent mail box at- tached to street cars and have recommend- ed ihat the system be given a thorough test in this city. The devise is a simple one, consisting of a metal box inside the ear, under the seat, with a slot in the s'de of the car similar to those now used in railway postal cars. The opening for the letters is #> protected that rain and snow? will not fall into the box. The plan pro- posed provides that the person desiring to deposit a lettef shall step to the street corner fust as if he were to board the car. When the motorman brines the car to a standstill the letter is deposited in the slot throuch the side of the car, and is on Its way to the postoffice, Tt is arrued that the plan will find grest favor. particularly im! residence @iktricts. where the ccllections are made at infre- quent intervals. It is also proposed to readjust the routes of carriers whose duty it is to collect the letters from the s‘reet cornér boxes. These carriers, according to the plan proposed, will work between the car lines, and as rapidly as the street boxes are emptied will deposit the mai! from them into the street cars. The postoffice department has already received a number of protests from labor organizations throughout the coun‘ry. and it is expected that an oreanized fieht wil) be made against the adoption of the plan. It is asserted by labor leaders who watch such maters very closely that the adontion of the system is simp'v a scheme to throw the protection of the United States around the operation o* the etreet cars. In case of a strike federal troons could be called out to secure the unmolested onveration of cars carrying United States mall. If the system is adopted by the postoffice de- partment the labor leaders assert that the street ra'iwav compentes of the country would cheerfully equv'; each of thelr cars with the letter bores and so make it impossible for striking employes to e- eure an adtfustment of thelr erievances through the customary method of interfer- ine with the operation of the cars. An officer of the American Federation of Ta- bor stated vesterday that h‘s organization had been asked to thoroughly investigate the proposed plan.

TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 13-—One of the richest finds of relics of prehistoric man, perhaps, ever made is that unearthed by Capt. Francis Tuttle of the revenue cutter Bear during her recent trip in the Argtic seas. A house built by human beings proba- Lily thousands of yeavs ago was found and Capt. Tozier, senior officer of the fleet, now has some of the utensils used by the peo- ple who made it a habitation. Two years ago a missionary at Poiht Barrow told Cupt. Tuttle of a remarkable discove the natives of the vicinity had made of the framework of a house which as partially imbedded tn-a cliff, fronting the ocean, 15 miles southeast of Point Barrow.

' The house was built somewhat after the lan of the structures of the primitive nhabitants of America. The ribs of an enormous whale or of somé@ animal now extinct were used for a framework, and over these skins had evidently been stretched. . At the instigation of Capt.- Tuttle the natives made an extavation in the cliff and brought away the utensils that could be discovered. The immense bones that made up tha framework of the house were left-on the shores of the Arctic. The uten- sils found at the spot consist of a bailer tor a boat, a carved ivory row lock, four stone khives, a bone knife and a skinning knife.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The prospect of much travel from Europe to the United Siates next year and the one thereafter, on account of the Worlds Fair at St. [ouis, appears to have stimulated the in- ventive faculties of a few Europeans, who seem to think that seasickness is one of the worst ills that can befall unlucky mor. tale. The records of the patent office show an unusually large number of applications for letters patent on articles designed to pre- vent or cure mal de mer. Proceeding upon the assumption that vention is better than cure, nearly al them have bent their energies to the in- vention of contrivances calculated to keep the stomach in its customary position. The most pretentious of these contriv- ances ig one nade by a man «named Schmidt, who lives near Cassel, in the kingdom of Prussia. Sohmidt's idea is that if the man who thinks it necessary to cross the ocean 7 gr put Into a cabin that will not move in concert with the rest of the vessel the a a # my x ah Pe, pgendn fs as a ee : mich 3 + oa wt. fz he on >, e | ey aa 1@ | steel is. to either whove decks or below The simplest way to attach the cabin to the bow would be by means of a cable, but simplicity of that kind would not do. as it would impart some.of the motion ut the ship to the cabin. Therefore Schmidt prshecsnes that the cabin shall be pivoted 7. means of a cylinder and a piston rod. The cylinder is to be filed with ofl in one part and in another there is to be a vacuum. The rolling and the pitching of the ves- sel could be dore away with by simply attaching the cabin to the bow by means of a cable. but the cylinder and piston do away with the up and down motion, which, old sailors say, is worse than the fi ho Jongitudinal and Cross axes of the ship. This contrivance, in order to be of any service to markind, must be adopted when the ship is built. As that is not likely, the ingenuity of the russian inventor will probably not save one mortal from ex- periencing that awful sensstion that comes when the tell-tale ‘n the office of the nav- lgator savs the ship is 30, 40. or even 5 degrees from an upright position. Most Contrivances Are to Prevent Seasickness. The greater number of applications for patents are for appiances that are to be attached to the person of the mortal who feels that the gyrations of the ship will be emulated by his stomach.

Noth helong to good families. They had known one another a long time, and became engaged, but the girl's father, thinking the doctcr had not money enough. suddenly broke off the match in the hope of finding a wealthy husband for his daugh- ter. Then Marcille resolved to take the mat- ter into his own hands, and watched his opportunity.

Sensitive About His Size. Mr. Nobles says that Darden was s0 sen- sitive about his size and was so averse to newspaper notoriety that he could never be induced to be weighed. He was too large ever to ride ‘horseback or in an ordi- nary vehicle, and after he grew up he al- ways rode in an ox cart with springs to it. One day while he was in his cart some persons who had a curiosity to Know how much he weighed, and who had tried in vain to get him to consent to be weighed, slyly measured the springs und r the ca:t to see how far his weight wou'd mash them down. A day or two afterward they surreptitiously carried the cart to a biack- smith shop, and after putting a stick under the bed, which reach up as far as he had weighted the springs down, they loaded tne cart with scrap iron until the springs were enough to touch the weighes the load of iron and it was found to weigh something over 99 pounds, which was believed to have mashed down fan sticks.

Celd Leads to Chronic Catarrh. - A common cold is acute catarrh, which quickly becomes chronic catarrh if allowed to remain. Every cold snap leaves in fts trall thou- sands of cases of catarrh many of whom for want of an effective renedy, will suffer from this disease the rest of their lives, Is there anything that can be done te In the first place, Peruna used at the proper time will prevent taking cold. In the second place, Peruna will cure a cold in from two to five days. Again, Feruna will cure catarrh quickly in the first stages, and finally Peruna wil ~ also cure chronfe and persistently. Peruna kept in the house and prope erly used will therefore not only act as a safeguard against the ailments which result from sudden cold waves, but will also prove a sure remdy for this class of ailments. ee If you do not derive prompt and satia- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr, Hartman, giving @ full etatement of your case and he will be pleased to give you hie valuable advigp gratis. catarrh, if used pro . - a es @ : +2 a ® i ee ft ras + j ae " &> + St Tie ~~. ais? ’ ‘ . : 4 2a «i 2 “e 4 pfs : : . a $B” ge ae : j >, stay- e ) do as we ad ‘ertise and cheerfully exchange any arti- -) cle for any source of dissatisfaction. bonds will be issued to purchase the terri- tory and provide stock, houses and imple- ments.

A Ft STORM. : : , ITS CARGO WAS HUGE STONES __-_.c = * Fishing Boat Approached and Picked Them Up. Special to the Post-Dispatch. GLOUCESTER, Mass., Dec. 13—Among the arrivals here tonight was the schoon- er Mary A. Gleason, quickly foilowed by the’ coasting schooner Winchester. The latter was in charge of a crew of eight men from the former. Aboard the Gleason were the tain and five of the Winches- ter crew, oe were rescued at sea Satur- day morning and abandoned their vessel. The Winchester ieft Sullivan, Me., Thurs- day morning with 475 tons of granite, bound for Phiiadeiphia,’°On Thursday, when oft Portland, a blinding snowstorm and gaie get in. The gale increased to a hurricane, and the sea was lashed to great heiguts. The vessel was deep.y laden, and it was impossible under the circumstances to lighi- en the deck. of the stone, some of which was in eight-ton pieces. | The littie vessel wallowed heavily’ in the sea. The waves dashed over it, the crew narrowly eacaping being swept overbvoard by the tons of water that surged aboard. All through the night the gale cont.nued with unabating fury, and the snow feil in blinding masses. Soon after midnight the vesse) sprung a leak. The crew were lashed to the pumps, and worked with energy to keep the vessel sues. The sailors weer aimost benumved ahd without food or drinking water. All day Friday and all Friday n'ghi the men continued at the pumps in réiays, en- deavoring to keep the vesselefree and afloat. They had had nothing to eat or drink since Thursday noon, and were chilled to tne bone. Saturday forenoon the weather cleared up and the wind backed to tne northward. ‘The ship had been driven 15 miles off the northern edge of Georges. Meantime the schooner Gleason had been caught in the gale off the Maine coast, where under close reefs it rode out its fury on Friday and Friday night. §Satur- day morning when the weather cleared the schooner squared away for the fishing grounds and had not been under sail long before the Winchester with the flag union down was discoveréd. The Gleason bore down on the Winchester, and it was soon evident that the coaster and crew were in desperate straits. The men could be reseued only by means of dories, and this task in the high seas as something loO,make even the stout hearted pause. pt. White asked for volunteers to man a dory with him and proceed to the rescue of the coaster’s men. Every man volunteered. The Gleason was put as near the Win- chester as possible and a dory was, after much difficulty, put alongside. The men, watching their chances, jumped overboard and were taken aboard the fisherman and given dry gar ales and food. Capt. White decided to put a prize crew aboard the coaster and endeavor to get it to port. He sent eight men aboard with a supply of provisions and water. Both vessels got under wav about noon yesterday. The prize crews were constant- ly at the pumps in order to keep the vessel free, but they kept in sight of the G'eason all night, and at 6 o’clock this morning they made Highland light. All sail was crowded on, as the barom- eter indicated an offshore wind. and the nrize crew was determined to bring its find to port if possible. Although a s'ich? snowstorm prevailed all day and the con- brought to port all right.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—‘What you do this season?” asked Mr. Reed. “O, pass a few approximation bills and let it go at that,’’ Representative Payne replied. “Is that all?” said Reed, seemingly much surprised. ‘“‘Are you going to miss your opportunity to amend the constitution?” “What do you mean?’ asked Payne, who thinks slowly. “Why, an indefinable something is to be done in a way ncbody knows what. That, as I understand it, is the program against the trusts. The opportunity is so broad and so long that I wonder that you will not take advantage of it.” These are the first and last public utter- ances of Thomas B. Reed. Eetween them is a lapse of 57 years, at least 30 of which were filled with sayings that were quotable, to speak in the small- est praise. ‘When he was 6 years old, at the Brackett School, in Portland, Me., Reed made his public appearance with the “Jim Crow” Jingle. Six days before he died he impaled the Reublican party’s anti-trust policy in the Pways and means committee room in the capitol. Reed rarely told a story himself. Yet there Was never a public man about whom more stories are told. He differed from Depew and Cannon and Vest and Culberson, and John Allen and Tom Ochiltree, and the other famous story tellers that have flourished here. He was a producer. They were, or are, merely consumers. Reed made stories. They told or tell them. THOUGHT IN EPIGRAMS. Reed thought in epigrams. He gave his wit free rein and he rarely rose to speak in the 20 years he was in the House with- out saying something that was quoted in the streets and in the hotels and clubs and cafes even before it was printed in the Congressional Record. : In his private conversation he constantly let fall quips that were laughed at from one end of ihe country to the other, for Reed’s wit furnished many a paragraph for the newspaper men at the capital. He spared nobody. He had utter disdain for stupidity and for slow wits. He held a lofty contempt for intellects inferior to _ Own, and he never hesitated to express t. So it is, ‘that most of the Reed stories have a sting in them. His repartee was rarely kindly. Hie jokes had fangs. Still, one cannot be clever and careful. too, and it {is always in order to laugh at the other fellow. Ingalis had some of Reed’s characteris- tics. He could say sharp things that were quotable. There are a few men in Con- gress now who try to make ep grams, but their work is clumsy when compared with Reed's. You can sce the dents of the hammer and the marks of the chisel used in fashioning them. Reed's were as perfect as a peaca- blow vase. The House is rich in story tellers. Hen- derson, Cannon, Hepburn, Champ Ciark, Wiliams and Cowherd can all hold audi- ences in the cloakrooms, and in the Senate John P. Jones and Vest and’ Bate and De- pew spin yarns that bring statesmen from ay esks to the leather chairs before the grates. WHEN REED RULED. Most of the present House story tellers served with Reed. All of them have tales to tell of him. They love to go back to he fighting days of the Fiftieth and Fifty- first and fFifty-second Cong-:esses, when roe were strenuous and Reed was at his est. In speaking of these days. when he was called “Czar’’ and ‘“Tyrant,”” and when, because of the adoption of the “‘Reed rules’ in the Fifty-first Congress, the Republicans were so tremendously thrashed for the Fif- ty-second Congress, Reed said: “T have never been disposed to be cross about what gentiemen have said and the outcrieés that have been made because ine Fifty-first Congress was an occasion where there was a conflict striking sometimes, as it happened, be’ow-the belt—not on our side, of course,”’ he added, sardonically. The best Reed story comes in this per'od. although, of course there are stories be- inning away back in the '70's, when young oo after flaying an interrupting member, s : “And now, having embalmed that fly: tn es a amber of my remarks, I will pro- ceed.”’ e-4, shall Reed was bumotious in those days. and criticised men and measures unsparing'v. Roscoe Conkling ca'led him “That Oheerful Young Idiot from Maine.”’ Herewith are co'lected the best stories. the cream of Reediena told by the men in ‘he House who served with h'm. fol owed ‘im or fought him, admired him. and who know when a story is a good story, and how a good storv shou'd be told. : ADOPTING THE REED RULES. “Uncle Jo" Cannon tells of a grea’ strug- tle when Reed was the giant in command “I was a member of the committee on rules in the Pifty-first Congress,” said ‘Uncle Jo,’ “and was “svociated with Speaker Reed and William McKinley as Republicans, and James H. Blount of Jeorgia and Benton McMillan of Ten- ueseee as Democrats. “After Speaker Reed had established his ule of counting a quorum the Democtfats caged up and down the’ aisles for uays at a time and the word ‘outrage’ was shouted st us so frequently that we got so we paid no attention to it. “Another thing that made the Democrats furious was the special orders the commit- tee used to bring in to expedite the day’s Lusiness. The House met at noon. We would get together in the spenker’s room at 11:30 and fix the special orders, and at 11:55 o'clock would send for the Democratic members and record their votes. “One hot day in July we sent a mes- senger for McMillan. We were all at the big table fanning ourselves. As McMillan came in, the speaker turned to him and held out a slip of paper on which were writ- ten the special orders, saying: “ *Eello, Mac; how are you? I sent for you to tell you that Bill and Joe and I are to perpetrate the following outrage.’ " One of thé most remarkable days in the House was Jan. 29, , Mr. Reed counted his first quorum. REED COUNTED QUORUM.

S$ seems like a great waste of money,’ said Reed. ‘We cculd bu 000 naked Sulus with that.’ Pict HIS PERSONAL SIDE. Representative Sherman talks of Reed's early life and of his career here. *“Mr. Reed used to talk to me,” said Sher- ran, “of his early days in the law. One of the best stories he ever told was that con- _cerning his admission to the bar. [t was (when everybody was discussing the legal tender act. Reed went before Fad e Wal- lace, afterward Chief Justice of California, for examination. Judge Wallace asked him: “Is the legal tender act constitutional?’ “Ylt is,’ said Reed, without a moment's hesitation. ‘Admitted,’ said the judge. ‘Anyone who can answer off-hand a question like that can practice law in this state.’ ‘His first case was in San Francisco. His client, Juan Jose Garcia, was charged with attempt to kill. Garcia was out on bail, and, during the trial, was aiiowed to sit with the spectators. The witnesses testified that one Juan Jose Gercia had made the assault, but.no one pointed him out. “After the lawyers had summed up, Mr. Reed asked the court to charge that proof that one Juan Jose Garcia had committed the assault was not proof against any par- ticular Juan Jose Garcia. There was a wild protest from the district attornev. but the court made the cha. ge that way and Garcia Was acquitted. “One day when they were passing pen- sion bills, Reed astonished everybody by saying in the cloak-room that the govern- ment owed him a pension. Pressed for an explanation, he gave these reasons: ‘‘T had never been able to make more than 590.000 or $600,000 till I was appointed acting assistant paymaster in the navy at a sa ary of $1400 a vear, with board, lodg- ing, uniform and two servants. That in- duced an extravagant style of living, which I have Kept up ever since, and which has cost me thousands of dollars. I think the government, in all justice, ought to recom- pense me for this.’ ”’ REED AND PRESIDENCY. When Thomas B. Reed was first talked of for the presidency, he was asked if he thought the pariy would put him in nomin- ation, he replied: OY 2 might do worse, and I think they will.”’ “Will you make any statement as to the reason of the election going as it did?’’ Mr. Iteed was asked the morning: after the de- feat of Harrison. “No; I don’t think I will,”” answered Mr. Iteed, “‘si1.ce I can’t say just what I think,” During Harrison's ~- administration r. Reed said, when he was asked what he thought of the President: ) ‘“T never had but two personal enemies In my life. One of these Mr. Harrison has pardoned out of state’s prison and the other he has appointed collector of the port of Portland ” Woman in the Ministry. More women are now in the employment of the various departments of the French government than at any other time in.the history of the tulrd republic. ‘But ip nearly all cases they are em- ployed peusomally by offftials as clerks in the va- rous consulates er as stenographers in subordinate bereaus in Paris. Though cabinets succeed one another, the ‘‘ministeres’’ were recognized as s'ro gholds ef conservative tradition. and nothing hitherto had eve® changed there except the min- jatees; now, however, a revolution baa taken piace in the ministry of public instruction, and a young woman, Mile. Pattey, has been admitted with the title of an “‘official,”” occupying a permanent post. Mile.

Mr. Vanderbilt is suffering from one of the worst cases of typhoid have ever been called upon to handle. Consider- ing the nature of his ailment. there is every ground for hope. He was quite weak yesterday, but today he is stronger. He has power of resistence and he is game. The most hopeful sign is the absence of complications. Thus far the disease has followed the lines usual in typhoid. So long as there are no complications we have a goad chance to save Mr. Vander- bilt’s life. Shouldcomplications arise his con- dition would be such as to arouse the gravest apprehensions in the minds of his physicians.” “Some of Mr. Vanderbilt's friends,” said Dr. flint, “think that his attack of ty- phoid is only a slight one. As a matter of fact, it is more serious than the ordi- wong His head remains en clear and he is wig nye Bh with great fortitude.”’ There has en increased activity about the Vanderbilt residence on the part of the physicians in attendance since Wednes- dav.

A yea and nay vote had been taken, and the nays had mn read over for correction. Lorimer got up and said: ‘'Mr. Speaker, it papense that I am not recorded, although I distinctly voted “no gentleman from [Illinois is entitled to only one vote,’ flashed Reed. “And they were laughing at Lorimer for week. “Another time =~ ‘“‘Mr. Speaker, is ate without a diseenting vote. “"That’s a good reason why we should ex- amine it carefully,’ ’’ said Reed. Before he took the gavel Speaker Hen- derson relates some Reed episodes that hap- pened during the debate. ‘‘The best story I ever heard about Reed,”’ said Henderson, “‘was the famous Choate anecdote. Before Choate went to England he and Reed and two or three other gen- tlemen were talking togther one night. The conversation had grown mighty serious. Choate was talking. JOKE WAS ON CHOATE. “7? think I can say,’ he said, ‘that I have led a clean and decent life. I have none of the vices and a good many of the virtues, and I think I average up pretty well.’ “*? wish I could say that,’ said one of the other people in the party. “‘'Well’ said Reed, ‘why don’t you say it? ' Choate did.’ ‘One day dear old Amos Cummings in- terrupted Reed. He turned and held out his hand beseechingly to Amos. ‘“ ‘Now, Amos,’ he said, ‘must you, must you really get your name into my speech? Must you?’ “IT heard Jerry Simpson say once that the hardest knock he ever got was when Reed went out to Medicine dge and be- gan a speech against Simpson by saying: ‘“Mor the last four years this district has been represented in Congress by chaos.’ ”’ Col. epburn teils of two famous tele grams and of a typewritten scrap. “One of the best things Reed ever wrote,’’ said Representative Hepburn, “was his tele- gram to Maj. Lacy, who was delayed in get- ting here one some important occasion. He te egraphed to Reed: ‘“‘Can’s get there tomorrow. Washout on the line.’ ‘Reed sent this reply: . ‘‘Buy @ new shirt and come anyway.’” CONCERNING SPANISH WAR. Champ Clark remembers some of Reed's sayings before and after the Spanish war. “Reed was always against the Spanish war, although he gave the President loyal! support after it was certain there must be a fight. “When the news came that Dewey had taken Manila he said: “‘This is a serious matter. Dewey ought to sail right away from that piace. It will make us trouble for all time to come if he does not.’ “T used to hear stories about his intense feeling on the subject. He was opposed to expansion, One day he said to Can- non: “Tt was a great mistake to try to be —_—- enna czema How it reddens the skin, itches, oozes alae are ag : peop it sa re a tetter, milk crust or ° ger said: bill passed .the Sen- te lt cae ac uired and a &, persists until these have been : * Sy TIME PAYMENTS Gag because it. pleases me and pleases the public, and the nicest people in town have been my patrons for 20 years.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—On Aug. 21 last there was a letter mailed in Buffalo to the wife of an army captain living in New York, At that time she chanced to be spending a week with cousins in Narragan- sett P.er, R. 1. Her husband, now here on neds gers J duty,. with a stroke of his pen, i scratched out the New York ad- Gress, and inscribed on the envelope: “‘Box 146, Narragansett Pier, R. , The journeys of that envelope only ceased last week.

Lee, commander of the Confederate forces, aia even now, held in jail on ‘the charge of vagrancy, she makes a pitiful attempt to keep up the dignity of other days. To us¢ her own words, she ‘‘ain’t ho ordinary nig- ger, but a cullud pusson as was some- body.’’ As she sat at the matron’s quarters of the jail, a red and black bandana hand- kerchief tied about her snowy wool, which surmounts a visage of time, the way in which she could make pancakes was her chief subject of conversaiion. ‘Kin I cook?” she exclaimed when Clerk Whitchouse questioned, her jokingly, about her culinary attainmenis. “‘Well, you jest oughter eat some oO ma pancakes, chile. Why, dey is jes’ four inches thick and s0 ligh t—well—but dar, I ain't goin’ to gib you no subseriy ytion od dem cose you coulan't ‘nderstand’,’’ and she flashed a glance of withering scorn at him. ‘Why, yo’ boy,” she spoke out at last, “I use to cook fo Massa Gin’al Lee, de great. est man dis yere country ebber seen. Dat is, Ah cooked foh him some of the time; y®8, only a lil while,’’ she modified. ‘He was stoppin’ dewn in de big house at Richmond, and den I was,cookin’—oh, s0 fine. ‘Tl was down in de kitchen one mawnin’ when ne ob dose boys dressed all in gray kum in and sez: ‘Be you good enough coo t’ ect Massa Lee’s breakfast? Dat made me mad, so I spoke up right pert and sez: ‘G'long wif you; I could cook foh de Lord if he was here.’ Den I set about making dose ‘ere Bancakes, and gent ‘em up to the Gineral all smokin’ and shiny wif but- ler. “Pretty soon dat onery man in gray comes down and sez: ‘You’se wanted in de dinin’-room, aunty.’ “Gracious sakes alive, but I was flus- tered! I wipes mah hands and goes up. When Ah got in, dere sets de Gineral, and, seeing me, he sez: ‘Did youse cook dese cakes?’ An@ when I'se bows, ‘cause | couldn't speak. he threw a five dollah gol’ piece at me. Den I bows out of de room jes’ like dis,”’ and the old woman forgot the jail surroundings and was again standing before the great -warrior of the South. Suddenly the realization of her positon came upon her, and, sitting down, she sobbed: ‘‘Youse ’es bet I kin cook.’ STRAWBERE OR CHAISTMAS NEAR ae etl CHARLESTON, S. C. ALREADY BEING PICKED Reap a Small Fortune in December. CHARLESTON, 8S. C., Dec. 13.—Christmas strawberries are being picked this week on the plantation of Fritz Horres, in St. An- drews parish, across the river from Charleston. There is a 10-acre field in full bloom, and as the berries were not due un- tll May the remarkable yield has aston- ished the truck farmers. It is said that this is the first time in the history of the planters that a May crop ripened early in December, and unless there is gn unex- pected frost, Horres will make a smal) for- tune on the crop. The berries find a ready sale in New York at the startling price of 92.50 a quart. wocal dealers who wanted to corner the market for home consumption had to abandon the idea when informed of the price, as Chariestonians will not pay such extraordinary prices for a fruit that is often a drug on the market in the spring and early summer. Hundreds of people have driven over to St. Andrews parish to view the fields. The berries ripened in the open and without the aid of hothouse fixtures. Horres says it igs the first time on record that a i10- acre field was geen in full bloom in De- cember, and he says it will be possible to gather the fruit from every acre. The ber- ries are firm and sweet, and have lost none of their rich flavor from being picked out of season. The weather around Charleston has been remarkably warm for weeks, and the hot sun: developed the strawberries a gréat deal better than would have been the case in a greénhouse If Horres can get the crop he is counting on, he will make a small fortune on his New York shipment, as he has been notified by wire that every crate will command exonrbitant prices in that city. LOST HIS VOICE. BUT HE CAN HEAR The Sudden and Violent Shock So Af- fected His Nerves That His Hear- ing Was Restored, WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 14.—Peter Peter- son of 1127 South Main street was shot in the head a week ago, and since that time has been unable to speak a word, and be- fore the accident could scarcely hear, while at the present time he can hear a whis- er. octors say, by the sudden and violent shock to the nerves occasioned -by the dis- charge of the gun so close to his head. He had picked up his gun to go hunting, when he was stricken with yareiy sis, dropped it. and it was discharged. he ‘shot struck the left side of his head, tearing a big hole in the sealp and some cut into the ne, but none entered the brain, being prevent- ed by the heavy cap he wore, The doctor believes that when the wound heals Mr. Peterson will recover the use of, his voice and the paraly will pags away.

That is, $10 covers the entire cost of a cure, medicines included, and no further fee will be asked. They furthermore guarantee that if the patient is not completely cured in a specified length of time to return the yy paid withott any quibbling or evasion, s always been the principle of their lives never to keep a fee unless the patient was cured. The Bi-Chemic Physicians wish to make it emphatic that this offer expires on the Sist day of this month and will not be ex- ‘rended beyond that date under any circum- stances. It is important to call as early as possible in order to avoid the rush that will naturally oecur during the closing days of this phenomenal offer. A PHYSICIAN’S GRATITUDE. ree H.

The close confinement and hard work gradually weakened my Nerv- ous Sysiem, Finally I had an attack of La Grippe which causeé a complete Nerv- ousscollapse. Since that time I have been very weak. My appetite was poor, diges- tion impaired, and suffered a general break- down in health. Having seen so much about Doctor Powell's wonderful Treatment I decided to investigate. I called at his office and was examined, shown through all the different treatment rooms and I was convinced that the treatment was all tha! is claimed for it. I began treatment and started to improve almost immediately. it certainly gives me great pleasure to indorse the Bi-Chemic Treatment.’ STOMACH TROUBLE. Mrs. J. B.

I gradually got worse until about four years ago I was stricken with Nervous Prostration. Since that time I have been a total wreck. My feet and legs would cramp until I could not Jay in bed. I became very despondent and had almost given up hope of ever be- ing cured. Finally as qa last resort I con- cluded to try the Bi-Chemic Physicians. 1! was skeptical at first, but a few treatments soon convinced me of the merits of this treatment. I started to improve very soon and today I am enthus'‘astic in my praise c the Bi-Chemic Physitians.’ sir.

My stomach would bloat and I was constantly belching up gas.

My condition Bi itiful when I went to the offices of the Bi-Chemic Physicians, but under their skill- ful treatment everything is changed.

This attitude was not in the least mysterious It was not assumed because the public could not afford to buy.. As a “lass this public will be never richer in its history. it woutd rot buy at the rate expected because it did not consider the offers made by the Stock Exchange inviting. When such a position of things arises in ordinary life the man with goods {o sell tries to meet his customers. Not so in the first nine months of 192 with Wall! street. The ap- pearance even of a solitary straggier from ‘he outside buying world was a s'gna! in these days for the average huckste: of the stock exchange to raise prices with such rapidity that the public’s emissary took flight on the spot. Banks lent their money to these masters of bargaining, syndicates were hired to lend their credit, old-time bears were br’ bed to refrain from offering prices down. Matters in short were consistently ar- ranged on the theury that if the pools only put prices high enougia delighted consum- ers would trocp in to take the property off their hands. Through the tnexorable cor- rective of the monéy market this process hus been stopped. For a month or more sellers have been earnestly seeking a level at which the genuine outside pub‘ie would see fit to buy. Sveha level may have been reached by the 20 or # per cent decline tn prices since September. If so, well and good, if not, prices must go lower still. CARRIAGE BARRED AT FUNERAL —_-—- oo Procession to Cemetery Was Delayed an Hour Because Driver Objected to Non-Union Turnout. Hearse and carriage drivers who struck yesterday delayed the funeral of John KHA- the weil-Known deputy constable, whose burial took place Thursday, Dec. 11. The funeral was unable to proceed for almost an hour. The drivers took umbrage at the pres- ence of a carriage from a livery stable that is under the ban of the Carriage Drivers’ Union, and they refused to proceed until the occupant of the vehicle dismissed the driver. The tingly lison, embarrassment was caused unwit- by a woman friend of the Ellison family. She was in entire ignorance of union rules or the status of the stable from which she hired the equipage, but when she reached the house, 9% Morgan street, drivers quickly informed ‘Thomas Wand, wh was conducting the funeral, that they wouid not proceed to the ceme- tery ‘f the carriage from the nonunion sta- ble was allowed in the procession.

As Mount Vernon is the nat- ural junction of the Bagnel route and White River line, citizens determined to secure both roads and act out to increase the subscription from $25,000 to $30,000. Mount Vernon had been gone over with a fine tooth comb in the previous effort and the new track seemed impossible.

Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heart- burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi- gestion resulting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This condition soon becomes chronic and being an every day occurrence is given but little attention. Because Dyspepsia is not im- mediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble. It is now well known among able physi- cians that the whole constitution is grad- ually undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organs are seriously af- fected by any form of dyspepsia. This is plain; as every organ, every nerve in the body is nourished by the blood and the blood is replenished from the food digest- ed. If the food is properly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady, but if supplied from a sour, fermenting, decay- ing mass the blood is vitiated, poisoned and the result is shown in sleeplessneas, lack of energy, poor appetite, nervous- ness. Every trifle is magnified and the dyspeptic sees nothing but the dark side of everything. Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. it 1s known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and it is now becoming rapidly used and pre- scribed as a radical cure for every form: of dyspepsia. It is not claimed to cure anything ex- cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its various forms, but for this it has been shown to be unequaled. The eminent spe- cialists, Reed and O’Leary, have recently stated that they considered Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets an unfailing specific for disorders of the digestive organs, and the remarkable cures made in cases of long standing dyspepsia proves that this rem- edy has extraordinary merit. 000 to buy right-of-way and depot grounds | 4 | for the White River line, a branch of the; | consisting | Henry for the right-of-way.

The new Western Naiional Bank of the Uniied States will represent a combination of t e two banks mentioned, but of the ieading interests in the Equitable Life As- surance Society, the Mutual Life Insurance Co., the Morton Trust (o., «ne Mercantue Trust Co. and the Prudential Insurance Co. of Newark, N. ; The president of the new bank will be Va entine P. snyder of the old Western Na tional Bank, whiie the v.ce-presi- denis will be Richard A. McCurdy, pres.- dent of the Mutual Life; James H. Hyae, vice-president of the Equitab.e: Tnomas ¥& yan, president of the Morion Trust Co., and Henry A. Smith. vice-president of tae Western Nationa: Bank. This great financ.al combination is on ex- ceedingiy friendiy terms with J. Pierpont Morgan, and it is believed that one of tus purposes of its organization is to resist the growth and influence of the Nat.onal City Bank, which at present has the iarg- est capitalization in the United States, and pk api is controled by Standard Oil inter- ests. The banking interests of Wal! which are alied with the oMrgan party, have feit that the Standard Oj] bank has become tov powerful and that something must be done to offset its influence.

FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 13.—More than 5000 miles, almost across the entire Do- minion of Canada and haif way across the United States, is the trip Miss Minnie A. Cobly of Hamilton, Ontario, made in or- der to become Mrs. Edward J. Watkins of this city. On her arrival here she was met by her lover and the two went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Duvall, in North Fort Worth, where they were married. The marriage was the culmination of a romance that began in the Klondike gold fields three years ago. Watkins is the son of a well-to-do ranch- man, who lives at Kolar. Tex. Three years ago, when but 21 years of age, he grew tired of ranch life, and, hearing of the chances for a fortune in Alaska, sold his outfit and then started for Dawson City. He had many troubles before he reached his goal and on his arrival at Dawson was nearly “‘broke.’’ He met ‘“‘Jim’’ Cobly, who had more ex- perience and who generously took the Tex- a ninto partnership, ‘‘siaking’’ him for his share of the equipment necessary to work- ing a claim. At weg & duced to his 18 vears old. Cobly explained that their parents were both dead and that, having no one to sup- ort but themselves. they had left their ome in Hamilton, Ontario, and gone to the gold flelds to seek their fortune. The partnership formed by the trio las‘ed till this summer, when, tiring of the life in Alaska, al! three decided to come back to elvilization. Watkins reached Texas Nov. 6, and hear- ing of good business opportunities at Fort Worth, came here to invest his savings in a store. After doing this he wrote to Miss Cobly, to whom he had previously become er , and she started on her long trip. She had gone from Dawson to Victo la when Watkins’ letter reached her. Thence she went to her old home in Hamilton and from there to this city. As to the long trip she made, Mrs. Wat- kins declares it was nothing and that she would make it over again for the same urpose, while her husband declares that f he fails to make a success in business here he will go back to the Klondike, as he did so well by his first venture.

Though this man professes to -_ inriocent of swindling, Chief of Ditectives Desmond believes that the prisoner is a confidence mah of long record, and declares that there is plenty of evidence upor which to hold him The detective found two foreigners. one young and one elderly, in Huward’s : loon at ANineteenth and Fine strects who an- sWered the descriptions given by Repple of the two men who buncoed him by means of the old ‘‘satchel game.” .- HAD A “MAGIC BOTTLE.” At the Four Courts the younger man gave the name of Frank Glannesi and said that he was a stonecutter. He said that ho rdid not know the name of his companion, having met him only in barrooms. As to the Repple affair, he denied any knowledge of it. Im the young man’s pocket was found a “magic bottle,’ such as confidence men sometimes use. — » The magic bottle is built on ‘the same principle as loaded=dice. It may be made to stand up or lie down at will by the operator, and confidenge men have a trick leting their viene in on ‘a —— gure by bettin at they cah make ine ttle stand on end, though it looks to. be impossible. The older man gave his age as 658 and his name‘as John Emil Lopez. He says ho is @ Frenchman, but that his father was Spanish. “I ama buyer and seller of old gold jand silver,’ he told Chief Desmond. On his person were found a loaded re- ‘volver, $72, two gold watches, a tiny gold nugget, an envelope partly filled with Silver filings, and many papers, among which weré postoffice money orders dnd express money orders; showing that he had shipped money to Spain. ' SWEATED BY DESMOND. Chief Desmond took Lopez in hand and i questioned him. The:man admitted that he had been.in Repple’s saloon half a dozen times prior to last Monday and never since that day. He said that he and Repple went out for a walk. Monday morning and met a young man- ‘who -appeared to be simple-minded. The young man, Lopez said, carried a black bag with.a $10 bill sticking out of it and said he- had $14,000 that he diain’t know what to do with. He was afrald of banks and would rather trust some responsible buisness man to take care of his money. Lopez said that he witnessed the transac tion whereby Repple parted with his $600, but denied aiding in the swindle. : Repple was summoned to the chief's of- fice, where he identified Lopez as the man who wantéd to buy his grocery store and | saloon and whom he took to another place | which he thought was for sale. Repple told the chief how - Lopez had introduced him to the young man with the | money bag, saying that Repple was a re- sponsible man, owning a saloon and ‘hay- ing a bank account, and would be a good man to take care of the money. MYSTERIOUS $14,000. Then, Repple said, Lopez suggested that as a guarantee of good faith they should go to Repple’s bank, where he should } draw some money and put it in a box with the $14,000 supposed to be in posgession of the simple-minded young man. Together they went to the Bremen Bank, Repple said, Lopez still doing most of the talking, and the saloonkeeper drew $600. Then they repaired to a saloon at Sixth and Chestnut. streets and Lopez, Repple said, suggested that as the transaction involved a large sum of money they should not attend to it in public. The bartendér ‘was appealed to and sent the men to a private apartment. Repple told the chief that the young man gave Lopez $2 and sent him out to buy a box tn which to place the money. Lopes returned with a tin box that had a4 lock and key. Lopez then, according to Repple, placed the canvas bag in the pox, first having put into the bag Repple’s. $600 wrapped in‘a handkerohief—as Repple supposed. . Before gotng out to get the box Lopez, Repple said, suggested that Repple wrap his money in a handkerchief. Repple did so. Chief Desmond says this geve Lopes }a chance to ses Ropple’s handkerchief and the kind of package he made. Lopes, ‘it ts thought, arranged a package that looked like Repple’s while he was out. T.opes shut down the lid and locked the box, Repple said, and told the vict'm that he and the young man of wealth would “pe up m an hour to fix matters up.’ BLACK BAG A CLEW. The rest of the story, as to how Repple's wife notified the police, and caused an investigation, resulting’ in the discovery tn the box of & black muslin bag with a $10 ip sticking cut and a bundle of paper in a handkerchief, has been told. Soh de descriptions furnished by pee: ple, the’ police began looking for the: looters. One, according to Repple, was a Friday. “morning, Offer.

The pair, th» petice say, naa started out to-take Brenner into their n¢t. But the fartuer,. seeing partly through the trick. conceived the idea that Lopez was intend- ed for the victim and that the younger man was the only’ buncoer in the party. Brenner says. that a,sum of money Was to be pat in trust, ahd in order to save ol4 man Lopez he suggested that a prominent citizen be made the trustee. The other men, he ays, apparently’ assented and they had started on their way when Ofti- car Hannigan stopped proceedings. Brenner, whose home. is geycral miles from the city, hae been summoned to Chief Desmond's office Monday morning to see if me cun identify the younger man under arrest, As yet no one has identified him as one of Repple’s swindiers. and the chief says that; he may release the man.

After five years of usefulness to indigent cats and curs, not to mention a number of broken-down and badly abused horses, this humane institution, unique amongst eleemo- synary havens, is to become a thing of the past. The shelter is situated at Carsonville, St. Louis County, nine miles from the city postoffice, on the Florissant branch of the Suburban Railroad, under the personal management of Mre. 8. J. Mark, first vice- president of the Golden Chain Society. Thousands of St. Louisans who see stray dogs and persecuted cats prowling’ and yowling about the streets and alleys are not aware that on Mrs. Mark’s placé are com- fortable kennels for the shelter of these un- fortunate animals. ‘Phe public,’ says Mrs. Calkins, ‘‘ought to know of it by th's time, for many appeals have been made for funds to carry on this work. But we have counted up recently the sums contributed to its support. How muth do you suppose? In five years just $97.50, less than $20 a year. ‘We run behind so often that we now find it necessary to close the shelter, and what are the poor, homeless animals going to do? Wrote to Fifty Got One Answer. : “Some time agq I personally wrote to oo wealthy citizefis of St. Louts asking for contributions to aid this cause. How many letters do you suppose I received in response? Just one; and that was from a multi-millionaire whom you all know, and it. was written to tell me that he yrould not contribute. He wrote that he had contributed to so many things that he could not afford. to aid this enterprise. “Every year we have had booths at the carnivals—the Elks’ affair, ‘the gro- cers’ and other outdoor festivities and in that way have raised _ some funds. Then we have given two bahy shows at the St. Louls Exposition for the purpose. “People do not seem to care to aid the unfortunate animals. It requires only $400 or $500 a year to maintain the sheiter. “An average of 25 to 30 cats and dogs at a time have been sheltered there ali along. We operate the shelter somewhat on the plan of a foundling or orphan asy- lum. We find homes for our charges. The chief difference is that if the cats or dogs are injured or old and helpless we chlo- form them. “And we must buy our own chloform. We have tried to get drug companies in St. Louls to donate the necessary chio- form, but we have not received an ouncé. “Probably if the shéliter were located in the city where pepple could visit it more easily and see how it is conducted, contributions would cqme in more satis- factorily. \ “Ag it is, when we find a helpless animal it costa us money to take it out to the sheltef. There is street \car fare to pay. Cats we carry out In baskets. The Su- burban road permits that. Dogs we take out on the front end of the car, permits peing granted by the company. Farmers Send Broken-Down Dogs. “¥ou would be surprised to know that some persons who never contribute a cent to the shelter take advantage of it to ac- commodate their pets when the animais get sick or infirm. The farmers in the neighborhood look upon the shelter as a good thing, THey send all their broken- down dogs there to be cared for, and it costs money for their board. “Por caring for the animals Mrs, Mark is supposed to receive $2 a month for dogs and $1 a month for cats—not a very high rate of board,* when the trouble and ex- pense are taken into consideration. “It is a labor of love. Vtany a sick Bep- po and Tabby has been treated at the shelter until it has become well and hap- py. Starved animals are well fed, and homes with kind famities are found as soon as possible. “we have much less trouble finding homes for cats than for dogs. Many fami- lies want a cat, but the poor dog must go pegging unless he happens to be well bred, and that kind of dog seldom gets to the} shelter. Most of our dogs are common curs—the kind that are hated and p‘rse- cuted by cruel persons. _. “We have had a few horses to take care of. These we have taken away from bru- tal masters, except in a few instances, where the anfmals have been thrust upon! us as a way of getting rfid of them. ‘“f remember cne in particular—a Shet- land pony, that was owned by a wealthy family. It was a great pet, but it be- came afflicted with what ts khown as knuckle-joint, and was useless for driving. The family sent it to the shelter to end its days. They never contributed a cent. “There was another horse I remember.” Here Mrs. Calkins smiled. She was just going to tell “‘a good one’ oh Mr. Mark,,. husband of the shelter’s manager. , for This Donkey. “This was a Mexican donkey—not exact- ty a horse,” continued Mrs. Calkins. “We took it @way from a negro who*tTuelly mistreated it.

It must not be forgotten that the entente cordilale between Great Britain and America is re- garded in Berlin with very angry eyes, and anything which weakened it would be welcomed by Count Von Buelow, if not by his master, as a political godsend. if a quarrel] should arise in which Ger- many and Great Britain would be com- peiled to hold tegether, for. then there would be a chance of defying the Menfoe Doctrine without immediate ruin.’’ These are important indications of the feeling, and it is not surprising, in view of this state of mind, that an escape through arbitration—which, if the outlook were clear, would be spurned—is regarded without pronounced hostility, and tindoubt- edly would be availed of if supported by the government at Washington.

CARACAS, Dec. 13.—A new complication has arisef. It is feared that Italy will deliver a memorandum asking for the same treatment as demanded. by Great Britain and Germany. Up to the present moment it is impossible to obtain definite informa- tion on the matter, but the Italian lega- tion denies the delivery,gof any ultimatum. The news of the arrival of the British commodore, ontgomery, at La Guayra has. created excitement at Caracas, but up to 8 o'clock tonight the authorities here have no knowledge of his design. In gov- ernment circies it is believed that a noti- | fication of the blockade of the Venezuelan coasts will be transmitted. It is learned frum a government source that on the advice of Minister Bowen a calm and cool attitude for 24 hours more has been advocated, and that if the Anglo- German forces disembark at La Guayra the troops at the fort and in the newly erected redoubis will not fire on them, the object tsing to oftain time for Washington to answer as to the proposal for arbitration made to Berlin and Lundon. President Castro has taken up. a new at- titude. He thas ordered that reprisals are to cease, and yosterday he gave inéstruc- tions that all the property of the British and German railroads-and British tele- phene companies should be returned. The government will retain still the con- trol of the La Guayra railroad, but its ad- ministration will be left independent. Patriotia demonstrations took place in yesterday and today. The Venezuelans nave decided also to ‘boycott all goods manufactured In Germany and Great Brit- ain, and in stores notices are posted de- claring that. henceforth the owners will re*use to sell goods coming fr those countries. e At 1 o'clock this Afternoon a fpecial train left Caracas for La Guayra, taking Alfred dare to employ in cases of differené¢es with. “Still better would it be for their policy j.

The pres- ent situation is due to two facts: “Germany suddenly suspended the. pres- sure of the early part of the year, which diminished the respect in which she was held by President Castro; secondly, the attitude of the officials of the great Vcne- zuelan railroad toward Pres.dent Castro, “Germany's first principle must be not to meddle in the Internal affairs of Vene- zuela, but the railroad officials forgot this.”’ Doctor Passarge describes the state as drif.uing to certain decay and as following a steady downward course, since Gen.

BY ROSE MARION. “When teacher atrikes,”’ that’s what the affilation of the Chicago Teachers’ Fed- eration with the American Federation of Labor seems to most persons. To the small boy and the small gir! it signifies an unlimited number of holidays that will not have to be accounted for to any one; to their mothers it suggests an awful time when they can’t even send their children to school; to the public in general it is a joke. Only the teachérs themselyes know that they and ‘strikes’. will always be strang- ers, but that:.their union with the national labor organization is a most serious thing. For this purpose and seme others Miss Margaret A. Haley, president of the Na- tional Federation of Teachers and an ac- tive worker in the Chicago Federation of Teachers, visited East St. Louis yester- day. Three htindred teachers, members of the St. Clair County Teachers’ Association, lis- tened while she told the story of the work of the Teachers' Federation in Chi- cago. She began to talk some time be- fore noon. The 12 o'clock bells rang and the 1 o'clock whistles blew before she fin- ished her address, yet her audience re- mained. Once in the course of her talk she stopped and inquired about the time, but she was urged to continde. A number of children were present as participants ina wand drill. They stayed to hear Miss Haley speak. When the noon hour was half over dne little fellow said to the other: “I'll miss my @inner, but. I'd rather do that than miss hearing her speak.” Even after she ceased speaking num- bers crowded around her and stood for half an hour while she explained differ- ent points about which they were an- xious. Her address began with the simple story of the experiences of the Chicago teachers that caused them to form an organization and later to become members of the Amer- foan Federation of Labor. I was in the crowd that stood around and led Miss Haley with questions. “Well, but what will you do wher other branches of the labor union strike? You will havea to strike in sympathy, will you not?” asked someone as soon as Miss Ha- ley had stated empliatically that the teach- ers would never go out on a strike on their own account, and that such a measure was farthest from their thoughts. “Suppose, for instance,” continued the persistent one, ‘that the teamsters went out on a ¢ cike, what would you do? If you didn’t close schools and go home, wowdn’t yqu be breaking part of the rules of the union?’ “No, we would not close schools under such conditions. We would give the strik- ers our moral support, but no rules of our union would compel us to sirike. The day that we becaimo members of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor a strike was called in one of the trade unions. We did not close schools, nor Were we requested to do 60.’ “What will you do in regard to salaries? Will you do as the carpenters do—demand a certain wage for each and every teach- er?’ was the next question “Bxactly. If a person has a right inside a schoolroom as a teacher that person has a right to be paid a living wage. If he does the same kind of work as some other per- son he deserves the same salary. Our sal- aries In Chicago are scheduled according to experience and work. If a person fails to make requirements he should not be aliowed .to remain in the school room,” was Miss Haley’s reply to this question. In fact, all the replies quoted in this article are those of Miss Haley. The ques- tions are ours. BOTH SEXES EQUAL PAY. ‘What about the salaries of men and women teachers?”’ “Those are equal at present in Chicago. That fact was accomplished by the teach- ers themselves at a time whén the Ilinois legislature was about to settle the point permanently by giving the men the higher salaries. The Chicago teachers defeated the bill.’ “If you care nothing about strikes, what is your object in becoming members of the American Federation of Labor?” “Our first object is to unite the interests of the home, the factory and the school. By factory I mean the outside world. At present these are separate. We hope to unite them. Men are interested tn the schools to which thetr children go. When we can tell them directly why those schools are not what they should be, then we will be making a step forward uplifting the schools and their interests. ‘The men of the unions will be able to give us the thing we have most needed in our crusade in Chicago—the support of tho ballot.”’ “Would it not be well, could yote?’’ “Tl hope that the day will come when women can ote, but I do not want that privilege for them until they are ready for it. Svoner or later the American working- men will understand that they are denied half the representation that they should have because the working women do not vote. Then they will ask that women be allowed to vote.” “Does not the fact that school teachers live {n a simple world unfit them for con- tact with the real world?” “The school teacher’s Mfe with children As she is to bring up then, if women ding he aes and the wee ova + ¥ : Meanshae “Miss Haley is doing what she can to make the case of the federation strong.

LONDON, Dec. 13.—The Henley regatta stewards today decided that no crew trained by a professional trainer within one month of the time of a race should be eligible to Henley regatta. While the resolution adopted by the Hen- ley stewards today does not spec fically bar foreign crews from competing in the re- gatta, it ia generally regarded as pric’ cally shutting out visitors, as it is cons.u- ered hardly likely that oarsmen from other countries will be prepared to change their established customs in order to acquire the privilege of competing. at Henley. PENNSYLVANIA DOESN'T CARE. Had No Intention of Rowing in Henly Regatta Next Year. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.—The aerpree of the Henley stewards did not disturb the rowing authorities of the University * Pennsylvania. They did not intend send- ing a crew to compete !n the Henley Raw gatta next year, and present indications are that several years will pass before Pennsylvania participates. _—_—-- ee -_-s-- IMPORTANT COCKED-HAT CONTEST IN CENTRAL LEAGUE NEXT TUESDAY ‘ , " : : ‘ ' f i Crescents’ and Acmes’ Meet on Royal Alleys May Decitle Superiority— To Lead the League Acmes Standing for the week in the various !o- cal cocked hat leagues indicate that sev- eral hard fights for first place will be on before the‘first series closes. In the Central League an important match will be decided Tuesday on the Roya! alleys, when the-Crescents and the Acmes, the two princtpal*contenderg for first hon- ors, meet in what will be a hard match. The Crescents lead the league by three |. games, through the remarkable perform- unce of. the Junipts last week in shutting out the Acmés~for five straight games, though the losers averaged above 53. Only the exceptional work of the third place team on\that occasion prevented the Acme apererenen from being on even terms with the Crescents. Ordinarily a 53 average would have won three out of five matones from 7 team in the city. Tuesday thé relative merits of the lead- ers will be tried out; There are those who are sayin hat the escents will not last out the} series in first place, but the fact remains’ that they have so far bowled well and are entitled to their place. The Acmes, in Tuesday’s match, can tie the leaders by winning four out of five games, or go out’ in front if they take the entire lot of five. Winning the odd Ce will still leave the Acmes one be- i) ° The match, though important, probably will disturb no records, as the Royal alleys cannot be compared to the Acmes in specd. lhe dry conditions there make the pins livelier and the score higher. The «remarkable record made by the Juniors of over 1500 pins for the team total is not likely to be disturbed this season.

It is seven games behind the leaders, but a continu- ance, of their. work of last week can only have one result—first place.

In the former the Rlialtos and the Blue Ribbons are running heck and neck with the same number of games won. .

Overbeck is leading tn the North End cocked-hat Jeague, according to the aver- ages issued by Nicholas Le Grand, secre- tary: of the organization. Oberbeck has played in every match this season and his 61.33 looks very good for the number of games, 60. The Lindemans and the Puesers are having a hot battle for first place, but one game separating the teams at the close of last week. The Monarchs are by no means out of ‘it, with but three games to make up to Iytie the leaders. The Lindemans will probably keep their front position this =| week, as their match is with Stifels, who 2 are trail-ng next to last.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—George Leander and Floyd Krebs, his teammate, won the Six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden tonight, Jacobeon and Newkirk were second. Leander and Jacobson fought the last mile together. The former won by a halt - yard.in 2:05 2-5 e winning team did 2477.3 miles in the @ix. days, falling far behind the record of 2733.4 miles. The ecene within the great building did mot present the odds and ends of ex- -citement that marked the close of the six-day race a year ago. ‘There was a big crowd of 15,000 shouting “perosns, it is true, but men, women and children did not jam the garden as they did last year. ‘The keen relish of the affair, for one : thing, had been taken off ‘the race by the + onesidedness. Only. two teams, had beech left in the lead, and although the band: blared its best and flowérs were there in plenty, he tense’ excitement of a year ago was ~ lacking. There was one little incident during the night ‘worth noting. Krebs Fell Asleep | While Relieving Leander. Floyd Krebs went out to relieve his mate, ‘Leander, and fell asleep on his wheel. He ground away mechanically, however. His trai{ners* dosed him with ‘ammonia, and then he woke up and rode away like a streak. ; George Leander is said to be the son of ‘wealthy parents in Chicago, where he has his home, but he is said to have become estranged from them because he entered sik-day racing. His younger brother came on from Chi- cago to ste the finish of the contest. There * “was an affecting scene at the track side as the brothers met. “The olf folks are willing to forgive ev- ,” said the younger brother, “‘if ou'll give up the track.” “T’ll think about it after this race,”’. said - JENKINS 10 MEET TOM MINERY Mat Champions of America and Ireland to Struggle at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.—Irish and Amer- ican wrestlers will meet on the mat here Monday evening for the championship of the world. That, at least, is the announce- ment made by the promoters of the affair, although Jenkins, who will represent this country, ance lost to Nouroulah, the Terri- ble Turk. Tom Jenkins’ opponent Monday night will be Tom: McInerney of Ireland, whd has beaten all the wrestlers of the Emerald Isle and some others. Jenkins still claims the world's champion- ship. ' The Irish champion years ago held down the title now possessed by Jenkins, and is anxious to regain it. He has read a great deal about Jenkins, but never had the pleas- ure of meeting him either on or off the mat. At the present time McInerney weighs about 190 pounds, and is in the best of con- dition. He stands 6 feet 9 inches and measures 42 inches arouhd the chest. Jen- ins and McInerney are bullt about on the same lines, and the match should prove one of the greatest ever pulled off in America. ney s hands still bear evidence of rps heyy struggie he had with a mad ent on suicide in Buffalo severa! weeks ago.

"UNS $16 ‘a "Wants to Be the Center of New Missouri Pacific Branches. RIVALS MAY SPOIL RLANS RIGHT OF WAY AND DEPOT GROUNDS FREE IS THE GOULDS’ CONDITION. Enthusiastic Citizens See an Oppor- tunity for Relief for Their One Railroad Town and Are Hard at Work. Springfield, Mo., a town of about 25,000 people, has performed the remarkable feat of raising by popular subscription $150,000 in a dozen days. This is $6 per capita, and stands out boldly as a feature of en- terprise among America’s smaller cities. This money is in the shape of notes, in- dorsed by 580 of the wealthiest men in Springfield, and payable when the Missouri Pacific begins running trains into that city, provided it is done within two years. Otherwise the notes are void. The proposition of the Missouri Pacific is to build a north and south road through the county. This in itself would mean the extension of the Bagnell branch, which ‘Tuns.down from Jefferson City, on to Springfield, and then from Springfield south into Taney County to some point near Col. - Moses T. Wetmore’s game preserves, where - eonnection would be made with the White River road. This is a new line being built up through Arkansas to Carthage, where connection will be made with the Missouri ; who control the Missouri Pacific, are known to have in mind g®eater things in this scheme than have yet been announced. Later on not only the Bag- mnell,. but the Warsaw and Versailles brahches, which drop down from the 8 Louis-Kansas City main line, will be ex- tended to some common point and there taken up by one tine and all carried into Springfield on one track. Then the scheme is to build a straight line from’ Carthage ' to Springfield, and the idea wil! be rounded * out. ‘Depends on Free Right of Way. | All this depends more on the right-of-way than any other thing. Springfield’s $150,000 was raised to buy the right-of-way through Greene County, the estimate of the cost Deing made, by the citizens and not by the company. In Lawrence and several other counties great difficulty is being experi- “enced in Setting tne right-of-way, but ‘@ventually all will certainly be secured. Thé right-of-way problem has been made : “more difficult by the sudden appearance in this section of two companies which are leved to be backed by the Rock Island. e of these companies proposes to build a line from Holdenville, Il. T., through Car- thage and Golden City to Eldon, Mo., where @ connection would be made with the Colo- rado road recently bought by the Rock Island. This road would cut about forty miles north of Springfield, but another company called the Springfield, Arkansas & Northwestern proposes to build from Eldon to Springfield and thence south to Seligman, Mo.. which is the terminus of the St. Louts & North Arkansas road, always supposed to be controlled by the Frisco, but which . Of late is said to have been acquired by the Rock Island. In Arkansas the Rock Island has char- tered a road to run from Little Rock to Leslie, Ark., the proposed eastern terminus of the St. Louis & North Arkansas road.

Remarkable Resemblance of Mrs. Fred- erick Scovel and Lady Romilly. Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec 5.—When Mrs. Fredc¢rick Roosevelt Scovel, who was Miss Vincent Sartoris, met Lady Romilly, who was M.-ss Violet Grey-Edgerton, in London, they tooked at each other with frank scrutiny and burst into cheerful laughter. This was an admission that their friends had spoken truly, for each recognized her resemblance to the other. And this resemblance is not purely phys- loal, although that is striking enough. Both ate. beauties, with exquisitely modeled faces and delicate coloring. Their proille portraits are A.most identical and prove that the photographers suggested exactly similar poses, although one picture was taken in England and the other in America. Each has the delicate, straight nose, the charming, half-smiling mouth, the = full, rounded chin. Their coloring, too, is tha same, their dark hair being shot with a suggestion of gold. Both have tall, grace- ful figures, and they carry themse ves like sisters who were taught to walk in the same way. . Now, physical resemblances are not at all rare. Everybody has been. dece'ved by them. But ft Is most extraordinary to find temperamental similarities existing in com- mon with those of form and feature, and in the case of the granddaughter of Ulysses 8. Grant and the English noblewoman these temperamental similarities are absolutely astonishing. There were many people who said that Miss “Violet Grey-Edgerton was the great- est flirt in the United Kingdom. And there is no denying that Miss Vivian Sa*toris turned Thany heads and that she broke at least threé engagements. The love affairs of the two make a re markable parallel. ‘Miss Violet Grey-Edger- ton was recognized ag a beauty before she made her debut. As a’girl she was witty. gay, mischievous, delighting in all manner of pranks. She faliréy ‘bubbled over with enthusiasm for fun. When she was in shor skirts it was prophesied that she would be a great belie and leave benind!her a train of broken hearts. And it came true, Even before she was introduced into society she had many admirers, and the number in- creased with her acquaintance, Her beauty, her wit, her high spi: its made her immense ly 7 _ Phe fell in love. with John. —! ; volt oe . ~ ie.

In England it is said that there has never been a happier marriage than heirs. | Miss Vivian Sartoris and r sister, M.ss Rosemary, were educated at home by gov- ernesses and tutors under the direction of their mother. Because she was the grand- daughter of Gen. Grant she met many peo- ple when she was still very young, and men promptly fell head over heels in love with her. Her most devoted admirer was yours Roosevelt Scovel, and there was a boy and girl engagement between them. They were so tremendously in love with each other that they quarreled bitterly. For years they did not see each other. The first formal engagement of Miss Sar- toris Was made in April, 1899. She was to marry Morton Coleman*Nichols of New York, member of the firm of J. Pierpont |'Morgan & Co., a member of the Union, a dozen other clubs in New York and Washington, of the Savage Club in Lon- don and the Automobile Club tn Paris. But as time went on and the expected marriage @id not take place, it came to e understood that the engagement was broken. A year later Mrs. Sartoris formally an- nounced the engagement of her elder daughter to Archibald Balfour, a cousin of the present prime minister of Hngland. It was arranged that the wedding shou!d take place in the home of Mrs. Gordon, a sister of the bride's father. in:Kent, Eng and. The date of the wedding was fixed for June ll of last year. Less than two weeks hefore the day she was to become Mrs. Balfour, Miss Sartoris broke her engagement. Now it is sald that the reason therefor was a chance meeting with Roosevelt Sco- vel, her first love, and. ft is said, her only real love. He had remained faithfu! to her memory. Miss Sartoris’s decision to refuse to marry Mr. Balfour was made the day she met Mr. Scovel after the long separa tion. a B 2 we # University, Metropolitan, Lambs and half/ oa Mao th rte Sehr oS See” ont oye , x) % P Saad A Bigs | 5 fs ee ak ae al Tipst xf A FETTICUAI WARMED & CHILD |Mrs. Cartan Doffed a Skirt to Cover Nakedness.

She brushes conventionalities aside when the emergency arises, and her friends say the emergency often arises with her. They are not surprised at her impulsive deed of last night. With car- riages and horses, @rivers and fooitmen at her command. she often prefers to use the street cars, that she may keep in touch with the poorer people who may need her 03 LOLOL LAL LOL —_——_—- ys AALY WORTT, e444 : CLEEDIVET, MAK DO, sible, as if contact with the world had taught them to hold aloof, sat an illy-clad man and scarcely clad at all child.

At 38th and Cuming street, in the most fashionable part of Walnut Hills, the fashionable resident dictrict of Omaha, Mrs. Harry Cartan, boarded the car. She was warmly attired, but warmer yet was her heart toward the poor and lowly. Through her, breast the milk of human kindness flowed in a rushing torrent. Mrs. Cartan’s seat was some distance from the poor beby, but her eyes were soon fixed on them. A look of pity spread over her face and then passed away. ‘hen came the action which attracted all to her.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL Nothing Can Be Found the Mat- ter With Either. ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 14—The blindness ef Dr. Thomas D. Love of 27 Whitehall Street, one of the best-known physicians of the city, is puzzling the Atlanta medica) fraternity. The case is without a parallel] in medica) history, and Atlanta physiciang who have had many years’ experience in the treat- ment of eye troubles state that they have mever seep a case anything like Dr. Love's, For eleven days he Was totally blind and he has still only partially recovered the use af one eye. The remarkable feature of the case is that the physicians have been able to find nothing whatever wrong with Dr. Love's eyes. They have been examined carefully and no unfavorable symptom has been discov- with the exception of the very un- vorable one that for eleven days he was unable to tell light from darkness. In gw ye the eyes are altogether nor- mal. ere is not the slightest sign of in- flammation and his eyes are a great deal Dr. Love is @ years of and is in health. His seueral gity cal ~D- , and stomach specialists who have looked into his case have been unab.e jto find anything wrong with his stomach. When he first lost the use of his eyes it was tho t that the matter could be at- tributed a disordered stomach, which such cases often arise FEAR DEATHDEALING VOLCANOES The People of the State of Chiapas, Mexico, Live in Continuous Dread. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 13.—According to Information received here, the inhabi- tants of the Tapochula region of the state of Chiapas, Mex., are living in daily ter- ror of death from earthquake or volcano disturbances. Hardly a day paases that the earth is not shaken and the subterranean rumblings are almost continuous. The peo- pie are reduced to a state bordering on panic. The collector of customs and sev- eral other federal officials have resigned their position and will leave tha nlace and all others who can get away will do tne same. houses and spend the nights on gal eries and in the yards, rushing frantically into the etreet at the slightest disturbance.

DEPARTD OF THE : POST-DISPATCH (Official Organ of Missourt). Spirit of Christmas and Sunshine. The spirit of Christmas is abroad in the land. It is a kindly spirét bringing in its train much happiness and shedding over all an effulgent glory. Generosity is its char- asteristic. Love is its expression. The bestowal] of gifts and the demonstration of affection are parts of its work. Generating good nature ‘and tolerance in all, the hearty ring of its password, ‘‘Merry Christmas,” renews our youth and makes our hearts leap with gladness. Much has transpired since last we met this glorious spirit, for it has not beon with us throughout the year. We have grown older and grayer, and per- haps, as we learned more of the emptiness of the things that are, more cynical. We have been busy. Ihe work of the Sunshine Society has never flagged. To them the kindly epirit of “good cheer’ has been very close throughout the entire year. Now that he genial siprit of Chrietmas is united with the kindly ‘good cheer’ of the Sunshine Society, we expect to scatter lots of the beautiful sunshine of love in many homes throughout our.city and state. Help us to make this a memcrable Christmas for some of our shut-ins. Just before Thankegiving a letter came from the daughter of one who has been shut-in many years. They reside miles away from anywhere. Anoth- er member of the family had just left the writer of the letter at dawn for the rialroad station scme seven miles away—going to be gone all winter in an adjacent city for treatment for a painful ailment. The daugh- ter says: “I shut the gate, sat down on the porch, and, recalling that I wes alone with my helpless invalid mother. just cried for an hour. Washington, a little negro living with us, sat on the doorstep, and, full of are for my loneliness, the little man 2 8s said: ‘Don’: cry. lse wid you.’ I took courage from his cheer, and as moth- er’s bell rang, presented myself to her, recognizing resh the words of Carlyle, ‘haw \wonderfui the power of cheerful- ness!’ "’ At Christmas and during 1903 we desire to say to many weary, sad. lonely or discouraged ones in the language of little Washington: “I'se wid you,"’ and by our sunshine tokens and words of love and cheer make su ny many hours that would be otherwise dark and drear.

J. Arnold, has pursued the even tenor of ‘ts ways into the “confidence. of the people to their profit and satisfaction, and it stands today pre- -eminently the Turf In- : etme Company of America. Over four years ago, when this proposition was launched, there were no Turf Investment Compan- ies or firms in existence, so far as | we knew or heard of, but no soon- | ct had we demonstrated that such a Lou business could be made profitable, Vand by strictly fulfilling our every 4 promise and agreement, gained the | confidence of the public, than a Vhorde of imitators sprang into ex- Listence, flooding the country with , iterature written along the lines of that which we were issuing, and } promising enormous dividends im- FT possible to earn. Nearly all of these ccncerns have been but Ss short-lived, and kave failed, to the ‘Floss of their patrons’ money and | the discredit of all such institu- tions, ours as well. It is with | great pride, therefore, that we can _| publicly assert that during over ‘| four ygats of our business exist- | ence there has never been a single ‘] week in which we failed to pay the : dividend as agreed on all the ‘ gmoney intrusted to us, and this has | n uniformly of an amount larg- Te ‘er than that of any other safe divi- B: oe a institution in the coun- ae we have | t And, furthermore, Pnever failed to return the full a ah mount of any subscriber's deposit J whenever it has been asked for. | =Bearin mind that the Arnold iptables are not to be confounded Pwith any “get-rich-quick” scheme, | but that it is a business, bona fide jpand legitimate, and has the en- } dorsement of every one in a posi- Adon to know of its character. The | r [espe of this institution is made of subscriptions which share in profits to an extent of two (2) r.cent per week, or one hundred ‘| and four (104) per cent annually. 1p # in any week the profits run low d are not Sufficient to pay two r cent on all money deposited 1 it . 3 os gee never been the Gase in our ience ot over four __ will receive seb Sy ME ey OP) eee ee r = tee ¥ RLCZPTION ROOT IN INVESTIVZINNT PLPT. in any previous week the deficiency will be made good therefrom. Therefore subscribers may depend upon an average of two (2) per cent per week, judging from our past experience. Any profit over two (2) per cent weekly goes to our account personally. Subscriptions to this capital may be made in amounts of from fifty ($50) dollars upward, and will be acknowledged by certificates of de- posit calling for a share of the profits of the business to the ex- tent of two (2) per cent weekly, to be paid on a given day each week, in cash, and giving to the holder the right to return the certificate at option, and to .withdraw the total, or any part of the invest- ment, together with the profits to the day of withdrawal. Upon this basis and understanding we solicit and accept subscriptions. As to whether we can earn this maximym profit, we produce the evidence of our past record. We _ have been years in the business, every week of which we have averaged better than two (2) per cent a week, and we call upon our subscribers from all parts of the country to substan- tiate this statement. We are aware that many uninformed peo- ple, possibly judging by thé results of their own efforts, have publicly asserted that it was impossible for us to make this amount in the busi- ness, as we have stated, but to all such we invite an investigation of our methods and the sources of our profit, and call especial ‘at- tention to the fact that we do not promise to pay any given dividend for any given length of time. Our agreement with subscribers is to the effect that we will pay two (2) per cent weekly, if we earn it, as long as we keep their money, and the probabilities are that we shall, but if we do not, and what we do earn and pay is unsatisiactory. to those who furnish the capital, then they have the privilege of with- | drawing their money and quitting. The only guarantee we give for the future is to guarantee the re- turn of the original investment. Among the assets of this. institu- tion are a fine string of race horses, including Peaceiul, Graden, Bessie McCarthy, Mary McCafferty, Fitz- brillar, ‘Will mined Fort vee rT, he 4 ; 7 if a Ob, ae ees * a as ' ba im, »” meee) Bt 5% ye ‘saat 45 Oe Ao te x ; es ne +3 5 Bir.” + _ fo: ted tN Motes os oe io an do ne ume COL _ = —— — ATE, eeatiittmul AO fe iain Sie na BH eX p79 Warr % “ay ambien Wehr Boas edhe a a 7a , ee ae ae | ba —, Ee —_ Pe Le hd hd A ie te = os oe ‘ perenyermanr area — | Wibanterens OS _ S gar | Palas Ti tlt ; Oh Cee E.

Co-Operative Racing Stables Lady Ayre, Dortha and Victorine; and a breeding farm at Greenville, Ill., well stocked with the best brood mares obtainable, and their foals, presided over by Gold Heels, the greatest race horse of the age. This farm is fitted with all the re- quirements necessary to make it the most complete in the country. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, of Oct. 6, 1902, speaking of the farm, says: “It comprises 160 acres, and the purchase price was $20,000 cash. Adjoining lard will be purchased until a farm of 1000 acres has been secured. The place is already ad- mirably equipped. It adjoins the railroads, is well supplied with water, and has a mile track on which many of Huffman’s old-time racers were prepared. With im- provements to be made, the place will be one of the finest breeding tarms for thoroughbreds in the country.” Besides the property as above we hav~ large amounts of money in hands of the book-makers at the various tracks and in the St. Louis banks and trust companies, also in the banks at Birmingnam, Ala., and Cleveland, O., and other cities, which we keep available to meet de- mand withdrawals. Our total as- sets exceed our total liabilities by over one hundred thousand dollars. In this connection we quote here- with a gratuitous notice of our business in the St. Louis Star of Dec. 1: “EB, J. Arnold & Co., race-horse owners and bookmakers, according to a notice in last Thursday’s Globe-Democrat, inaugurated a season in Hot Springs by making one of their usual successful coups. “Nothing succeeds like success, and the Arnold people are surely to be congratulated on what they have accomplished on the turf, be- fore the light of which all imitators fade into insignificance. Really their success has been mafvelous, and it is attributed to their lines of doing business. Every obligation they assume and every promise they make is kept to the letter and spirit. Tadging from the talk of their stibscribers the confidence in the firm of E. J. Arnold & Co. is abso- Inte. Many uninformed persons have been disposed. in the past to adversely criticise their methods and plans and have pronhesied all manner of evil things abont them, but thev have gone on in the even tenor of their wav and have forced the peonle to acknowledge ir spire fof Soroneviees that this firm has] ~ * os a - : > ° Faainaaee eS, te , st os a4 ; ; er Py Sr their subscribers off persons in a position to know abso- lutely that this firm has available assets greatly in excess of the total amount due their subscribers and that they could wind up their busi- ness today and pay every one of in full and have a very snug fortune leit. “It has been the aim of Arnold & Co. to carefully handle their funds looking rather to the safety of their clients than for unearnable profits. What they have paid out in didi- dends has been actually. earned, as has been thoroughly demonstrated by a recent officia! investigation of their liabilities and assets.” As they say in the above quoted article it has been our aim to take care of subscribers’ money rather than to risk for big dividends, as compared with the offerings of imi- tators. As to the truth of these state- ments we refer to any commercial agency in the country and the old- est banks and trust companies in St. Louis, whose names we will furnish upon application. As to what we have actually accom- plished for the many subscribers who.~have been- with us for years, we refer to them collectively and individially in every state in the Union. Bear in mind that not- withstanding the enormous earning capacity of money in our hands we are a legitimate business, licensed by State and city. We run our horses at all tracks, winter and summer, we make books wherever racing is conducted, and the propo- sition we manage pays so well be- cause we know how to run it to that end as the result of s0 manv years of experience. Summing up the complete proposition it means this, if you have a small amount of money to invest and want to place it where it will produce the best re- sults we will pay you two (2) per cent weekly for it out of our profits while left with us, and if at any time you need your money, wholly or in part, or can do better with it than we are doing for you, it is at vour order on demand in full on return of our certificate of deposit. The obiect is at all times to redeem our promises to the letter. Of course if evervbody should want their monev at the same time. it wold require at least thirtv davs to realize on all our assets, brit under ofdinaryv circumstances and conditions all deposits are return- able on demand.

' Considerable wets re town by the renewed *,* ° . av in a x > ae = As F ‘ e * “a ’z ‘ : > $ 4 _ bad -_eoo excitement . was racing as a means of livelihood. It is a satisiaction to record the fact that not the slightest breath of suspicion was directed to the great firm of E. J. Arnold & Co., Co- uperative Bookmakers. Their standing has been’ gained by Straigutuiorward methods during their whole business career and the confidence of their subscribers in their reliability is shared by all who have any knowledge of their business. The magnitude of their investment in every line puts them into a class by themselvés. So high is this regard that no matter Low much uncertainty may be felt in regard to other speculative en- terprises, nothing can shake the confidence in the thorough reliabil- ity of E. J. Arnold & Co. It is a tact that every concern which starts up in the co-operative bookmaking business refers to the career of E. J. Arnold & Co. as a guarantee that an investment with their particular concern is a safe one. But the difference is so great as to be apparent tu the most cas- ual observer. E. J. Arnold & Co. do not depend on any one line to pay dividends, but combine in their business every branch of the racing game to make their enterprise a success. Not only do they own one of the finest strings of thor- oughbreds in the West, and a mag- nificent breeding farm at Green- ville, Ill., but they are also the largest bookmakers on the West- ern Circuit. Their career covers a period of four years, during which time they have met every obliga- tion; paid every dividend and have raised their business from the ranks of speculative enterprises to the ‘evel of a legitimate business.—St. Louis Star, Nov. 21, 1902. S0LD HEELS RETIRES AND GOES TO LEAD IN THE STUD. Suburban Winner Will Be Lord of the Harem in the New Breeding Es- tablishment of E J. Arpold & Co. at Greenville, Til. Gold Heels was sold yesterday by Jockey W. S. O’Connor to P. Tomlinson, representing E. J. Ar- nold & Co. of St. Louis; the new- comers in the breeding field who purchased some choice lots at the Horse Exchange sale. The price paid was $9500, an offer of $9000 having been. made and refused on Thursday. ° This will be a surprise to most people, as it was the general im- pression O’Connor & Co. .would try to train the Suburban winner for next year. The son of The Bard will _oe lor his new home tomorrow GENERAL OFPYCES, ST LOWS, HO. will also purchase a first-class Eng- lish stallion to act as joint Lord of the Harem with Gold heels. Tom- linson on Wednesday offered R. H. McC. Potter $20,000 for Knight of the Thistle, an advance of $5,000 on his purchase price at the Fair- view sale, but the offer was not ac- cepted. WILL PURCHASE MORE STOCK. In default of obtaining Knight of the Thistle, Arnold & Co. have an agent in England who will prob- ably secure them the selected one of several sons of St. Simon. That is the blood desired by Missouri's new breeder to cross on American- bred mares that he now has and in- tends to purchase. Gold Heels will be bred almost exclusively to foreign-bred mares at the Greenville Stud, his new home. His rugged. individuality, in addition to his stout breedin through sire and dam, should be- yond much doubt reproduce his like. The Bard, by Longfellow, out of Bradamante, has given Gold Heels nothing but good qualities, which his dam, Heel and Toe, a full sister to Los Angeles, further ce- mented. The Arnold stud at Greenville, Ill., is the farm formerly owned by ya Huffmann, who trained Yo ambien, Maid Marian and other racers. It will be enlarged by pur- chase to 1,000 acres, and has on the place a fine mile track and other buildings. NEAR 8ST. LOUIS. Greenville Stud is about fifty miles from St. Louis and on the direct line of railway between that city and Chicago. Trainer Tom- linson expeets to reach the farm by Tuesday, and he said yesterday that he believed Gold Heels would train for next year. The horse gal- loped yesterday at Gravesend in clever fashion, not showing the least indication of soreness. The ankle that was struck at Brighton looks almost as good as ever again, just about 100 per cent bet- ter than it did on the day of the McLewee sale—The New York Morning Telegraph.

It is by far the most remarkable work of the kind that has ever been writ- ten, and it has truly created a sensation ‘in the book world.

The following extracts from a few of the letters. received from some of the people who have read the book give an idea of its unusual character and great value : Mrs. Mary Milner, 312 D Street, Pu- eblo, Colo., in a recent letter, says: “I was so sick and worried I could not eat or sleep. I used the methods on myself with wonderful success. Today I am perfectly well. I would not part with the information you gave me for any money.” Mrs. T. L. Lindenstruth, 30 East South Street, Wilkesbarre, Pa. , says: “Your work on personal magnetism is a for- tune to any ore starting in life. It is absolutely sure to bring success.” A. J. McGinnis, 60 Ohio Street, Alle- gheny, Pa., says: “When I wrote for our book I was laboring by the day. ow I am managing a business, This is certainly the best proof that could be offered of its great value. I advise every man who wishes to succeed in life to get @ copy at once.” G, 8. Lincoln, M. D., 101 Crutchfield Street, Dallas, Texas, writes: “Your methods of personal influence are mar- velous. I have used them on my pa- tients with wonderful results. They cure diseases when medicine and everything else fail.” 8. R. King, M. D., Gillam, Ind., writes: “You have truly sent me the most re- markable book I*have ever read. By the methods explained in your work, head- ache, backache, rheumatism and other diseases of long standing disappear like magic. Your instruction in personal mag- netism is simply grand. It gives one a power and an influence over others which I did not dream it was possible for the average man to acquire. Your book is worth more than gold to any one starting in life. Its value cannot be estimated. My only regret is that it was not in my hands when I was a young man.” The New York Institute of Science has undertaken the free distribution of the book referred to. Big roller presses are running day and night to supply the de- mand until the $10,000 worth of books are distributed free. On account of the t expense incurred in preparing and printing this book, only those are re- quested to write for free copies who are and j especially interested and really and truly desire to achieve greater success, obtain more happiness or in some way better their condition in life, Please do not write through mere curiosity, as the free edition is limited.

Bloodless surgery is the method of reducing and a gpcogg defo.imiiies-in the human body without use of the knife, and while Dr. Lorenz ha» wonderful cures the method is eu. ding to Dr. L. ©.

I have been practicing .t for 86 yeais, and our Sanitarium ha a® many wonderful cures as Dr. Lorenz other surgeon ef equal note. cite one case that is almost a alle!) that of Lolita Armour, concerning which there been #0 much publicity. It is the case of lit line oO a the G-yearold da ghter of » W. O'Brien of 519 Van Buren street, Mil. She was @uffer.ng with congen.tal dis- : of the hip. Her mother brought her to 38 months ago and today she is a cured child. t the same length of time that it will child to become well. in our treatment this advantage over : We do not Inflict any pain Instead of fore ng y tearing them apart t is that our pat.ents times to move about. While the whi have to ley in a plaswr cas! little tient was able at aii on tru are not on!y useless in preventing deformity, bnt are actually injurious; and, alttough still ex- tensively used. they are now being denounced 4al- most as vehemently as they were previous y laud- ed. The plaster jacket is a heavy, cumbersome case, surround ng the entire », Preventing the evaporation of respiration, and confining upon the body ite poleonous matter. It res.ricts all respiratory movements, and so interferes nrateri- ally with the circulation. With an imperfect c‘ir- culation we always have an unhealth? condition of the body, whereas, in sping! and other diseases, the condition demands the t cireulat'on pos- ible. The jacket presses’ upon the stomach; compresses the lungs and beart; binds the liver; ciamps the stomach and kidneys; interferes with all the vita) functions of the body, and makes the deformity worse. Every observing physic'an knows that the falthful wearing of a pilaster jacket ab- olutely stops a!l growth and development of thb body; but they know of nothing to substitute. The ae of dwarfed hunchbacks too sadly verify (his fact. This Institution courts the closest scrutiny and seeks the widest publicity. Its practice is found- ‘d on wuature, science a common sense; it 18 trictly ecientific ‘n character, and it accomplishes ncomparab'y ater results at less outlay and vith infinitely less pain than any other treatment. These statements would made with less .con- fidence if the methods in use were merely theoret- ec, but 80 years of successful practice fn the treat- ment of over 40,000 crippled and deformed persons has demonstrated the superior'ty of the methods mployed at this Institution. In support of this, no etter evidence cou!d offered than the fact hat 98 out of every 100 patients that finally come ® this Institution, and are cured, have first been ubmitted to the treatment of other physicians. Dislocations of the var ‘ous re ge of the body often occur as the result of violent spasmodic con- cractions of the muscles surrounding the joint. in -hese cases no inflammation and destruction has preceded the disocations. All of thee disloca- jona can be easily and rapidly reduced w thout re- orting to surgical operations or severe an pain- ‘ul treatment of any kind. It is dangeruis and anwise to attempt a eudden forcible restoration of the joint, and on that account a gentie, gradu- al and progressive method has been devised by thie Inst:tution by which the joint is restered to ta original condition of usefulness. Luxation of Joints is a condition usually, tho »0t always, congenital in origin, to which the term ‘‘loose jo nted'’ eptly applies. It is most frequently noticed in ¢t hip, thongh the other woints of the body, such as the knee and shoulder, are liable te the same condition. The hip eocket, in its naiural condition, is round, or wearly so, and to a liar extent limits the novements of the head and high bone. In many cases of luxation the trouble is due to apn elon- gated or oblong eocket, rather than a round one, which allows the head of the thigh bone to move wp and down wheyever the weight of the body is put on the affected limh. It is with this character of disease that Dr. caused so much talk of bicodless surg- ie with this class of diseases that we , greatest success, In other cases of luxation the te the actual a the socket, — allows + bead * - ae " ck ite rer, ne by, OF THLE , tt ey eS MS ds > “ Ee vey *S % t bs has ae ~ mo vey : » - ys ~~ .. et A nn LGR igs Be > . y rue ae sm ERS aot ¥ e° ee byte Ba Se ete ’ se “ee igh > 4 3 .

OC. McLain Orthopedic Sanitarium is nursery, in which the cbildrep under treatment for various deformities tay their time when not under specific treaiment. The Nursery Department was established for the care of children whose parents or friends fn: it more convenient or economical to leave their children under the care of nurses than to remain with them. None improve more rapidly, and note are happier than the children im the Nursery. their cheerfulness and content causes uni!ve: sal remark, and their coustant health and improve- ment is phenomenal. They are watdbed and cared for, night and day, by nurses trained for the work. The duty of the nurse is vigilance, fo watch them carefully at night, at meal times, give them baths, lane them to treatment, look after thelr clothing and general we.fare, as well as to amuse them with toys, games, books and music. Another in:ceresting plece is the treatment room, a room filled with apparatus and machinery by means of which any muscle may be exercised or set of muscles that are weak and unhealthy may exercised. The patients are given this specific treatment dally. An excellent idea of the treatment and methods employed is given in the follow ng statement by Dr, rd 8. Krug, vice-president of the Sanitarium: By DR H. S. KRUG. The advantages which this Institution has over all other institutions and other physicians and surgeons in general practice for the successful treatment of deformities and diseases of bones 4 joints are numerous. Where the genera. practitioner receives one case, this Institution receives many of the same class. Comparatively few cases of deformity occur in the practice of one physician, so his experience is confined to a limited variety of deformities and a setfl) smaller nuprher of each class, whi e the surgeons of this Institution bave treated over thousand crippled and deformed persons. the austen treatznent of these cases os pbysician must have at his command, not only roper braces designed and made for each cnee, rt requires in addition mechanical) movements and message, apparatuses, facil ties for static, faradic and galvanic electricity, bathe of al) kinds. wanual wessage, etc. This Inetitution ts the ong Institetion In the country for atment of deformities where all these assistants are to be found. ment of ¢tbis Inetitution embraces fully dred different machines for de ing exer- cising any one muscle or set of muscles ih organism. are Institutes where specia) treatments are used; for example, some {netitutiens are devoted to Hydrotherapy or ‘water cure:’’ Electrical Institutes, » here electricity on! u ‘ts e an ie” a lt means of gymnast Institetion embraces in ite those | tion of braces, it is not the intention to we Ss the|a.l cases pf deformed or diseased Denes or 1 r@équire braces. in many cases & cure without thelr use.

" z wes 2 The first opportunity everoffered those having Ii T 1 its of a great real estate deal with absolute secur “teres = The greatest fortunes in the world have been mi It is not often that those having small sums to jnvest have the opportunity to join in great real estate enterprises with absolute security, and the sureness large profits. Such enterprises are usually handled by men of very large means, who combine in purchasing large tracts of land, so that they absolutely control its development. A man or woman of limited means who attempts to go into Real Estate must purchase a small lot or two and run the risk of a saloon or stable being placed next his property, wiping out his possible profit if not his entire investment. .* He can control only the particular lot which he purchased, while his chance of profit must always depend on the development of the: surrounding property. Yet a combination of small investors is one of the most powerful financial forces possible, the smailness of the in Jividual - ment making the safety of all, and when their investment is secured by the finest residence property in a great city, which is the most solid and substantial ir the country, and whose growth in the past few years has outstripped that of any city in the West, it becomes the Opportunity of a lifetime. St. Louis, unlike any other city, has spread mostly in one direction—westward—in the growth of its fine residence district, and, again unlike any other city, i has grown up solid as it has spread. Twenty years ago the fine residence district was from I8th st. to Grand av. Today it is west of King’s highway. bbw «. years ago property west of King’s highway’'sold for from $20 to $50 per foot. Today it commands as high as $400 per foot. .: a The limits north and south of the fine residence district are Olive st. road and Forest Park. Directly between these two and in the center of the line of ¢ of fine residence property westward—the highest spot in St. Louis—lies the land purchased by the University Heights Realty & Development Co. - ee: SP AO.

Eighteen years ago about 14th st. was the center of the residence district, Ten years later Grand av. Today the best residence property in St. Louis is WEST OF KING’S HIGHWAY. This residence growth cannot expand South, East or North; IT MUST GO WEST. In five years from now our property will be in the CENTER of the richest and most desirable ‘residence district of St. Louis. The 85 acres (50 City Blocks) owned by this Company have been carefully surveyed and platted, and are at once to be laid out into the grandest private residence park in St. Louis. ‘Two handsbme entrance gates will enter the grounds, in which broad macadam roadways spread in all directions. The southeastern corner has been leased to the Mail Order Pub. Co., publishers of The. Woman’s Magazine, the largest publication in the world. On it they will immediately erect a superb plant at a cost of over one hundred thousand dollars. In this building will also be located the Postoffice, a Bank and the offices of this ae. No other business build- ing of any sort will be permitted on the grounds, and the officers of the University Heights have reserved the right to supervise the building of this plant, insuring through their contract the construction of one of the handsomest buildings in the city. This building, divided by rows of fine trees from the balance of the land, acts as “ buffer between the busy corner where all car lines center and the fine residence plat. Heat and light are to be supplied all houses on our grounds from this plant. To the north of this plant a temporary hotel is to be built by Pittsburg capitalists for World’s Fair patronage. This hotel, designed by a well-known St. Louis atchitees, will be handsome and aogh-class. Immediately after the Fair it is to be torn down and a fine apartment building erecte¢ 9: its place. Our contract with the builders of the hotel assures us a net income from the lease sufficient to pay the INTEREST ON THE PREFERRED STOCK FOR FIVE YEARS. In the northwestern corner a very fine grade of building stone has been uncovered at the surface, which will supply the stone for buildings in our plat at a profit to us more than offsetting all fixed charges of interest and taxes. Fivo fine residences at a cost of from $15,000 to $25,000 each are already contracted for with us, each taking from 100 to 200 feet frontage. ppt Library, Clubhouse and Tennis Grounds will be laid out for the benefit of the residents. map of St. ouis shows the exact location of the property of the University Heights Realty and Development Co.

KOKOMO, Ind., Deo. 13.—George Wilson, who lives on he farm in B.vin township, ten miles west of here, owes his life to tne heroism of a faithful shepherd dog, which aided him to escape death while under the hoofs of a furious bull. As it is, Wil- son is seriously hurt and his physicians say his chances for recovery are none too good. Mr. Wilson, who is 60 years old, was lead- ing a Hereford bull from his barn. In an unguarded moment the anima! jerked loose and rushed at the farmer. The anima] was dehorned, but it pinioned Wilson against the barn. r The shepherd was at his master’s heels, and when the bull rushed at Wilson the dog leaped at thé flank of the bull. But the mad bull forced the farmer to the ground and began to tramp on him with his front hoofs, The shepherd changed his fighting tac- tics. He jumped at the nose of the bull and was shaken off. But the dog was not discouraged at his first failure. He re- newed the attack, seizing the bull by the throat. The dog sank his teeth into the animal's hide and hung on until pain and fright caused the bull to forget about the farmer. It turned and ran, the dog still holding to the bull’s throat, in which the shepherd’s teeth had torn large gashes. The dog was covered with blood, some from its Own body and some from the bull. After the bull was some distance away the dog let go its hold and went back to its master. When neighbors reached th® place the dog was licking the blood from Wilson's face. In the contest with the bull Wilson’s scalp was torn, his right leg was crushed and broken and he has interna! injuries. made by the bull's hoof, DA. LORENZ STORY UF HIS OPERATION _— — HOW HE DISCOVERED THE BLOOD- LESS METHOD WHICH HAS MADE HIS NAME FAMOUS. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dea §3,\— Dr. Adolph Lorenz while here told the following story of his beginnings in the operation for congenital @islocation of the hip which he has made famous: “Seven or eight years ago, I operated upon the hips of a child. There was the congenital deformation. I cut through the skin and the flesh, and bared the bones. The femur or the thigh bone had never been joined with the fhiip. The leg had been pressed out and up and the little sufferer was unable to walk. She was 7 years old when I found her. “Bome of the muscles were contracted and much shortened. I found it necessary to cut some of the tissues of these mus- cles before I could bring the thigh bone down to its proper position. “Then I found that the head, or ball, of the femur would not fit into the sockgt for which it was intended. Tie socket, or acetabulum, had not been in use and had developed none since the child was born. The head of the thigh bone had in the meantime been growing and was much too large now to fit. “I took an instrument and dug out the socket until] the ball of the femur wou'd fit into it. Getting everything into place, I closed the wound and sewed it up, “I performed about 300 of those opera- tions. I discovered that they were very dangerous. Many of my little patients _aied Parents, I found, hesitated to per- ,mit me to operate upon their deformed children. I could not say that I blamed them. The so-called ‘b'oody method’ of treating congenital hip disorders is very dangerous. The deformity itself does not | cause death. It merely causes a lifelong suffering. “Finally I decided I would try the new method, which we are now describing as bloodless surgery. I took many weeks for study. and then I tried it. “The condition of the child’s deformity was much the same as was the first one I operated on. But I went at the operation without a knife. “I knew that the contracted muscles would have to be stretched or torn. I was at first frightened at the strength it took to do the work that the knife had done. “Yet I had decided that force should be my instrument. I had to tear the tissues of the shortened muscles. The limb, at first resisting all my efforts, finally became pliable. I found that I could stretch the muscles a great deal, but when th not stretch I would have to Ty oo gs “Finally the litt'e — was brought into its normal position. ut. as !nm my first case, the head of the femur would not fit the hip cavity. Under the ‘bloody method’ I had oy out that cavity with a knife. I could not do that now. So I took the thigh bone and by main force bored it into the cavity. This was shallow and of insuf- ficient depth to adm't of the whole of the 1 of the femur. I found that when the leg was at right angles with the body the head of the thigh bone would hold close into the socket, but that when I plac the leg in its normal ition the ball woul sity, ae The socket was too shallow to “So I placed the leg in th which the ball of tie ty oo ge posuretely ae en ak Then I boun a ma wit paris MB : h a plaster o “As soon as the soren musces and stretched li aa oe oe appeared, I encour An tron stilt had to be of the litt'e one's shoe, h the thigh laster of paris at y, she walked had been per- once done with , & y ae, Shepherd Dog Flew to His Master’s , "HOME, SWEET HOME” . the OLD ROB ROY WAITED ON JOHN HOWARD PAYNE, ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 13—Ol4 Rob Roy. the negro who waited on John Howard Payne when he vistted his sweetheart, Mary Harden, in this city, died a few days ago.

HE candy was purchased from Frank Minor, a grocer in this town; on the 6th of August To- na Dunlap bought 5 cents worth of chocolate creams, on the 7th of Au- gust she did the same thing, bought a like amount of the same man. They -were sold to her out of a tray con- tained in a showcase. On Sunday, the 3d day of August, she purchased at the’ Craig drug store in this city 5 cents worth of’ strychnine, a whitish . erystalline matter which when mixed with the white portion of a chocolate cream can scarcely be distinguished by the eye. She went into this store, stepped inside the door there, first about 4 o’clock in the afternoon of the 7th of August. She was accompanied by a young lady by the name of Mil- Jer. Allie Dool was not engaged in the transaction of business nor in waiting upon a customer, she was standing at the counter talking with a young Jady by the name of McMullen. That . Was between 4 and 4:15 o'clock and at the time Miss McMullen and Allie Dool were eating chocolate creams "put of a sack and the téstimony will show that all the chocolate creams that Allie Dool took at that time she ate before Miss McMullen ieft the store. Tona Duniap just stepped in- side the door, and seeing these two giris standing there spoke to Allie Dool, saying, “Good evening,’ or “Good afternoon,” or something of - that nature, and passed out again. She went away and came back in about ‘an hour, as I have stated to you. She was still accompanied by Miss Miller 4 and while in the store gave to Allie Doo these four chocolate creams, The | manner in which they were given will ¢ -be one of the disputed questions in the case, but this is certain that she gave te her those four creams that were rushed together, a condition that they 4 i - not in at the time they were i M 4 at the Minor store. Wheth- Ee agdl particular ones were pur- on che 6th or on the 7th, Allie ~ 1 he tee a ie meno board that runs along what is called the muslin counter in the Felix store. She then went and sat down in a chair at Mr. Felix's desk. Maynard Mar- quis, a clerk in that store, was there, and remained there until about the time, or perhaps exactly the time that Mr. Felix returned from supper. Just at that moment Marquis passed out of the rear door of the store and did not see the beginning of the sickness. The testimony will show to you that strychnine operates within from two to twenty minutes. Some cases its op- eration is observed within two min- utes and sometimes not for 20 min- utes after it has been taken. Now, as Felix came into the store, Miss Dool sprang to her feet with her body stiffened and called to him for assistance and expressed her gratifi- eation of the fact that he had re- turned. Strychnine first causes an ap- prehension of approaching danger. Second, there is a twitching of the muscles; third, the person who has taken the voison goes into a conyul- sion, and where the quantity taken is sufficient to cause death the con- vulsions become more and more severe until death results, and that was the course that this trouble of Allie Dool's took. Mr. Felix immediately called for a physician, telephoned for Dr. Reynolds, who is a physician with * an office in connection with the Craig drug store in this city, and Dr. Rey- nolus came there and waited upon Al- lie Dool. It took some few minutes to determine, some little time trans- pired, just exactly how long for him to determine. that she was suffering from strychnine poisoning is not cer- tain, but not long though. When he did determine this he tried to admin- ister an emetic. At some period, approximately an hour after Reynolds reached her, she was choked into insensibility and nev- er against recovered the use of her mental powers. She remained insen- sible until death carried her away at sometime between 9 and 10 o'clock. And she died in a convulsion. The piece of chocolate that she left at the muslin counter was found and pre- served. A post-mortem examination was held the next morning, the body having been “emoved to her home, the stomach was removed, and that, to- gether with this poisoned chocolate | drop, was_carried by the. sheriff to oe EO — eae ee oe Nee OO —— — Pemete es By L. D. Thompson, for the Defense. ARGARET MILLER came to M Aledo Aug. 4 to attend teach- ers’ institute. She had met Tona but once before in her life, at Monmouth. She went to the Dunlap home to board because she knew no one, @ise in Aledo. She came on the Dolly and didn’t see Tona the evening she came because Tona was attending a church mecting. On Wednesday afternoon about 4 o’clock they came down to Minor’s store, ordered grocer- ies and bought 5 cents worth of candy and ate all the way home. They came dowtown to Minor's Thursday afternoon. Tona bought 5 cents worth of chocolates and Miss Miller maple candy. They went east and north to the lawn of O. A. Bridg- ford, where they sat down awhile. There Miss Miller had Tona’s sack and Tona had Miss Miller’s. After 20 min- utes they got up and started to the de- pot to see a cousin of Miss Dunlap, who was going away. After getting up to go to the depot a lady passed them carrying roses, and that reminded her of the pillow and that is why she stopped at the Felix store. They stopped at the store on the way to the depot and Allie was busy. Tona nodded to her and said: ‘We will stop later.’’ They went to the depot and waited until the Handy left. There was no place Tona could have taken a chocolate drop and put strych- nine inte it without Miss Miller seeing her. She had no gloves, but she had a pocketbook and in it carried a hand- kerchief. There were no pockets in her clothing and there was no oppor- tunity for her to put strychnine tnto a drop. Miss Miller will testify that she was with Tona from the time the chocolate was bought till the sack was thrown away, and Miss Dunlap did not take out a drop and, put in strychnine. While in the store after giving the the sack to Allie and Allie had taken candy out, Tona-had poured out two other drops, Fona ate one and Miss Miller one. The last chocolate drop Tona bit into was bitter and she asked Allie if she could spit it out on the floor. After leaving the store they went to Merritt's store, stopped and _ looked | in at ony a few minutes € eae, Sie “? xi.

Tona went home and went upstairs and laid down a short time. She will say she had a bitter taste in her mouth and she ate a very light supper. She ate some tomatoes to get the bitter taste out of her mouth. After supper she laig on a sofa a few minutes and Miss Miller went out and sat in the swing. Then Tona went out to Miss Miller and still feeling sick started in- to the house, and as she stepped up on the doorstep to go into the house again Bessie told her someone wanted her at the telephone. Tona went to the telephone and after learning that Allie was sick a lady told her to take an emetic of salt and water. Miss Mamie Coleman fixed up some salt and water and a physician finally came and gave her medicine. Mrs. Dunlap asked Dr. Browning if Tona had had poison and he said no. Evidence will show that Dr. Browning made no examination to learn whether poison was there or not. Dr. Browning gave Tona the very same emetic Dr. Reynolds gave Allie, which would in- dicate he thought she had some poison. Miss Miller will say that the choco- late drops were sticking tagether. It was a warm afternoon and the girls had had the candy with them for some time, which would cause the drops to stick together. Miss Miller will say when she took some drops out at Bridgford’s two were stuck together and she pulled them apart and ate them. Strychnine is hard to dissolve in water and the mere fact that strych- nine crystals were seen in the uneaten plece amounts to nothing as to its having been recently putin. A strych- nine crystal will lie in a glass of water for ,.weeks without dissolving. It fs said she treated the death of Allie indifferently. Every act of hers is taken by the state as. an indication of guilt. If it is necessary she can tell why she did not attend the funeral. Both Tona and her mother did all that they could do. Tona sent flowers, but she was sick and the weather bad and she did not go ® the funeral. If she looks up they say it is a brazen indi- cation of guilt. If she looks down they say it is an act of guilt. So whether ot —~ oe | said she wanted to buy a yard of India linen. A half hour previous to the entrance of Misses Dunlap and Miller, Miss Cora Mc- Mullen. a particular friend of Miss Dool’s, had beer in the store. They conversed a few moments and Miss McMullen offered to Miss Dool a bag of chocolates which she had bought at Minor’s. Miss Dool ate sev- eral pieces. The checolates were made by the same factory as those Miss Dunlap subsequently gave Miss Dool. *In the sad developments afterwards not a shadow of suspicion has attached to Miss McMullen. When Tona Dunlap and Miss Miller en§ tered the store B: F. Felix, the proprietor, was at supper. The three girls laughed and jested. Miss Miller gave Allie two pleces of her maple candy and Tona proffered her bag of chocolates. Allie helped herself to four pieces. Maynard Marcus, a clerk, 20 years old, was in the store. The girls of- fered to treat him, but he said he didn’t care for any. Allie bit into one of the drops and re- marked: “Ugh, Tona, it’s bitter. May | spit it out?’ and did so, not before she had swallowed a portion. The conversa- tion continued until 5:15, when Tona Dun- lap and Miss Miller left. Fifteen minutes later Allie was overcome with painful nausea, Marcus had just gone out of the rear door on an errand. THE POISON FINDS ITS VICTIM. Mr. Felix entered. Allie ran towards him exclaiming: “I'm go glad you have come!"’ Before he could reply she cried: “Hold me'’ He grasped her by the ex- tended hands. She trembled violently, then screamed: “Your gfe ill, Allie,”” said the alarmed Felix. ‘“‘Let me call a dector.”’ “Telephone for Dr. Reynolds,” she said faintly as he placed her in a chair. Her screams of agony were heard by Marcus. He rushed into the building and supported her while Felix telephoned for the physi- lan. Less than. 5 minutes intervened before Dr. Reynolds arrived. As he eutered the frightened girl cried: “Oh, I'm going to die, doctor, can you do anything for me?’ “Oh, no; you are not going to die,”’ the dootor replied, reassuringly. “He a ¢ girl, now. Compose yourself.” But her paroxyeme grew more violent. pallet on the floor was hastily improvised and she placed on it. Her symptoms aroused the physictan’s suspicions. Every sign indicated strych- nine polsoning. This diagnosis seemed most likely and was strengthened by her reit- erated expression that she was going to die.”’ “What have you been eating, Allie?” de- manded Dr. Reynolds. “Only some chocolate érops given me by Tona Dunlap.

During this period Miss Deool’s increascd. “Allie,’’ said the doctor, as gently as pos- sible, ‘‘you have been poisoned with strych- nine and will die very soon.”” Then came the bitter outburst from her lips, “Why did Tona give me that bitter candy!

Mr. and Mrs. Dooi were summoned and came, dazed, then frenzied. They id not be- lieve their beloved daughter 8 being torn from them. As she lay on a cot, which had been brought Into the store, they saw death momentarily stealing upon her. The young, vigorous constitution did not yield easily, Emetics and restoratives were given, but the girl was beyond medical skill. Chloro- form and morphine were administered, but they failed to alleviate the physical suffer- ing. At 10 o'clock Alile Doo] died. The funeral was held at the Dool family house on the Saturday following Allie’s death. Dr. Davis conducted the services. The whole countryside turned out to pay he last tribute of respect. Flowers in profusion covered the casket. Tona Dun- lap did not attend, but sent a bouquet of flowers. Already had she begun to hear the grim accusations that she was the mur- deress of Allie Dool, The inquest resulted in a verdict of death by strychnine poisoning. Tona Dunlap wag a witness. She was not held. Drs. Reynolds and Browning conducted an autopsy the day following Miss Dool's death.

The state convention of the Democratic party of Missouri, held at St. Joseph in July of this year, adopted the following. plank in its platform: Professional lobbying has become a positive menace to good government and the public welfare. The states and the nation are alike infested by organized lobbies, main- tained by powerful interests, who seek to control the po- litical and public affairs of the people. Ceaseless war should be waged against this evil until it is thoroughly extirpated. Already the Democracy of Missouri, after many battles, has driven the worst and most potent ele- ments of the lobby operating in this state into open al- liance with the Republicans of the state, but we pledge the Democratic party to an incessant and uncompromising war upon this evil until it is wholly uprooted and eradi- cated. The Post-Dispatch has shown that ex-Gov. William’J. Stone, the leading Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, has for years used his personal and poktical influence to shape legislation and the-.action of the state government in the in- terest of corporations which have employed him for that pur- pose. It has published the record of ex-Gov.

The Post-Dispatch has shown that ex-Gov. Stone, in the name of the state of Missouri and with the consent of the attorney- general, brought suit against the Tobacco Trust in the interest of St. Louis clients who were negotiating w.th the Tobacco Trust for the sale of the Liggett & Mever tobacco Plant, and that he dropped the suit when the.sale was made. He requested Attorney-General Crow to drop the suit because his St. Louls clients were no longer interested. The Post-Dispatch has shown that ex-Gov. Stone tried to pre- vent the State Board of Equalization’s equalizing taxation by raising the assessment of the street railways, urging that it could not be done without a special law and that it was bad party policy to raise the assessments of these wealthy and pow- erful corporations. The Post-Dispatch has published Treasurer Orear, in the Cardwell case, in which he stated that ex-Gov. Stone advised the Democratic managers to hide the campaign contribution of lobbyist Phelps in the name of Chair- man Cook. Is professional lobbying worse than the lobbying of a great party leader who uses his influence to control legis- lation and governmental action for ‘fees’ in the interest of corporations, regardless of the public welfare?

WILLIS LEONARD CLANAHAN. BUCKNER ON STONE’S LETTER. From the Kansas City Journal. In your issue of Saturday I find the following taken from an article headed “Stone on Thin Ice:”’ “Thomas #& Buckner, an anti-Walsh man, said something that sounded like part of the Walsh declaration. ‘In Stone’s letter,’ said Mr. Buckner, ‘I saw a denial of nothing Stephens had highwaymen and the rescue of her pire- cious mailbag from a carriage accident on the edge of a predipice. It appears now from a Washington dispatch, that there are 24 other women mail carriers on rural routes, and the postmaster-general is re- ported as surprised that sc many women are engaged in this occupation. But in what line of work are they not to be found? In 1840 there were hardly more than eight occupations open to women in the United States: Housekeeping, Teaching, Needlework, Keeping laundries, Bookbinding, Now there are hardly as many into which they have not entered. They are pilots, blacksmiths, bootblacks, millsmiths, roof- ers, watchmakers. . There are: 2 auctioneers, 200. women bartend- [,000 college profes- ers, sors, 300 detectives, 4,500 actresses. 127 engineers, There are 90 homes and clubs in 49 cities for their accammodation, with a regular patronage of 509). And, in, New York alone they number a full quarter of 4 miljon. It is agreeable to read that their wages show a constant upward tendency. In Eng- land the average of woren’s wages as compared with men’s !s as 9 to 21. Here it ranges from just half, for bookkeepers, up to 9 per cent for clerks, tailors and print- ers.

An elderly clergyman, living some few miles from a market town, and somewhat absent-minded withal, was in the habit of driving t#ere weekly, where he put up his horse at a particular inn, his dog always in attendance. One day when returning with a friend he was much annoyed to dis- cover that the dog was missing and in- people. The Lalance is now shifted so that farming supports only one-half of our peo- ple, while the other half lives by other in- dustries. Less than 1,000,000 wage-earners were em- ployed in American manufactures 0 years ago. Today approximately 6,000,000 are so employed. Meanwhile the 15,000,000 of peo- ple maintained by farming -half a century ago have grown to 40,000,000—an enormous increase in itself, though relatively less than the increase in other industries. Within the same 50-year period the products of agri- culture have increased in annual value from $1,600,000,000 to $4,740,000,000, or not quite three-fold. The concurrent. increase in the value of manufacturing products was from a little more than $1,000,000,000 In 1850 to a little more than $13,000,000,000 in 1900—a twelvefold increase, Yet the American farmer and planter, with their grain, meat, provisions and cot- ton, are still .the two main pillars of na- tional presperity. They support but one- half the people, but they still furnish two- thirds of all our exports. From 188 to 1902 inclusive cur tetal exparts were valued at $6,710,000,000. Of this tetal our. farms contributed $4,270,000,00, or $7 out of every $11 worth. Our factories contributed to the same total $1,580,000,000—only $3 out of every $11 worth. ; GOOD AND BAD LAUGHTER. From the Spectator. Is laughter a good thing—the laughter which is directed to something ‘‘which fails to comply with a social requirement,” which is compeHed by the sight of incon- gruity, or by sudden surprise? All laugh- ter, at all events, is not good. The giggle and the titter are laughter debased. Peo- ple who, trifle with laughter, wrote Car- lyle, “only sniff_and titter and sniggle fram the throat outward; or at best, pro- duce some whiffiing, husky cachinnation, as if they were laughing through wool.” But though the snigger is detestable, you can still haye too much of hearty laughter, of the roar of Teufelsdroeckh. It is only the unrestrained or the irresponsible man who laughs tempestuously often; and, indeed, as a man grows older and gets a wider view of the world. he laughs, no doubt, less loudly. Prog. Sully thinks that as a na- tion we have lost some of the mirth of our forefathers. If by that he means the noisier, self-abandoned mirth of 200 years ago. it is not perhaps to be regretted. It is ‘rue that hearty laughter is often an index to an honest soul; Carlyle was probab'y right when he said that, “no man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be al- together bad.’’ But there is a better laugh than Teufelsdroeckh’s, and that is the deep- found chuckle of kindliness and experience together. Perhaps we laugh more wisély, even if more rarely, than our forefathers. LOOKED AT HIS WATCH. What do people think of just as death is closing down upon them?

He may be and possi- bly will be elected to the United States Senate, yet that does not change my opin- ion that he is a Judas in friendship, a demagogue in politics and a pharisee in re- ligion. Any man who would write the letter attributed to him is unworthy to represent the great state of Missouri in the Senate. Putting in cold type, that any man, especially an ex-governor of this state, was an “unmitigated damned liar’ was as undignified as it was cowardly, and the usual sentiment of the state, as well as the whole country, has been grossly in- sulted by the use of this language of the slums and the slum barroom. The charge of lobbying for corporations by others while lobbying himself has been abundant- ly proven on him. The Baking Powder Trust, the School Book Trust, the Chris- tian Scientists and others that might be named can furnish the evidence. To this can now be added the use of the low and vulgar language publisifed in the pubite prints, which is unworthy of a saloon bum, much less a candidate for the highest hon- or in the gift of Missourians.

But it stands upon the interviews of Senators Lee and Farris because it is assured of their truth and correctness. They were obtained and written under instructions to exercise the greatest care as to accuracy by J. J.

THE SENATORS ACCURATELY. | REPORTER MAKES STATEMENT Tells in Detail the Circumstances At- tending the Talks Regarding Stone as Lobbyist. Interviews with State Senator Frank H. arris.and State Senator George T. Lee were pubiished recently in the Post-Dis- patch. The substarce of Senator Farris’ state- ment was that he was for W. J. Stone tor \'nited States senator; thac he knew Stone was a lobbyist, but that that fact would not hurt his candidacy. Senator Lee said that Sténe could be de- feated by a strong Icader because the bet- ter class of Democrats regarded him as a “trimmer.’’ He added that Gov. Stone had made a mistake on the baking powder bill and that Stone had éntered into a deal with Dockery and Cook to narcel out state of- fiees, He also said that at a conference of Cuok, Dockery and Stone it was agre.d that Dockery should succeed United States Senaior Cockrell two years hence and that Cook should be made governor. Farris and Lee have publ.shed letters de- nying these Interviews. Statement by the Reporter. The interviews were obtained and writ- ten by J. J. McAuliffe, an exverienced and reliable member of the Post-Dispatch staff Mr. McAuliffe's statement follows: In «arswer to Senator Farris, I simply desire to emphasize the accuracy of the in- terview puhlished with him in the Post- Dispatch of Dec. 10. On tne morning of that day I met Mr. Farris at Union Sta- tion, and for tWenty minutes the senatcrial candidacy of cx-Geov. Willlam J. Stone was discussed to the exclusion of any other subject. There is not a paragraph, not a linc, not a »hrase attributed to Senator Farris whi h lt is possible he may have used the wora “‘srasping’’ instead of ‘ra- racious,’’ in referring to Gov. Stone as a legislative agent. But, in all other re- spects, the interview is absolutely correct. What the senator said left an impression which not even a_ treacherous gnemory could fail to retain, and his remarks were x x € - no ms 2 FOr ih Pee rhe * we ee instance in which he has taken exception.

This is g fac.or in her success, though her good looks and intelligence do a great deal aiso. It seems that she was instrumental in bringing about the marriage of the Russian Grand Duke Michael and Counte:s Torby, and that many of their meetings took place at her house. Having been laid under this chligation, the Grand Duke proved un- grateful and did not recognize Mrs. Town- send’s claims upon his sdcia! influence.

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 11.—Jchn Sparks, the millionaire governor-elect of Nevada. ig in this city, and rumor states his mission is to secure the pardon of “Diamondi i Jack Davis from the penitentiary. , Mr. Sparks for a number of years was the head of the great cattle firm of Spa: ks & Herold, operating in Idaho and Nevada. Davis was an employe of the firm at :hel- big ranch in Cassia County, and was con- yicted of the murder of two sheep herders, who were found in their wagons with bullet holes through their heads. Davis was sentenced to be hanged, but the cattlemen fought his case through the Supreme Court™of. the United States, and final'y two other men, named Bowers and Gray, confessed that the latter had kiiled the men. , Gray was placed on triai and defended by the attorneys who defended Davis, and for lack of evidence was acquitted. Davis sentence of death was communted to life imprisonment last year, and the case got into politics—the sheepmen denounc'ng tne commutation by the Democratic officials, and the cattlemen upho'd'ng it. During the recent campaign Republican speakers charged that Day.s would vet be pardoned by Goy. Hunt: and ‘Secretary of State Bassett, ard as these gent'emen were defeated in the recent landslide it is evident if they are to pardon the con- vict they must act speedily. It is asserted that Gov. Sparks and as- soctates have spent fully $30,000 in the de- fense of Davis. and are now making a last effort to secure his pardon. Davis is a model prisoner, hut was given to a blus- tering. bad man sert of manner as a cow- bov, that alded materiallv in his convic- He seemed to rejoice in the notorie- ty he was achieving. He secured the name of “Diamondfield” by an alleged dis- covery of a diamond mine on Snake river. Since the pardon of Pau' Corcoran, the Coeur d'Alene dynamiter, Davis has been the leading attraction of the Idaho peni- tentiary. The first woman admitted by King Bdward to tbe Imperial service order is Miss M. C.

Importing lLuropé too much poor wheat of her vwn, and is only looking for sound choice wheat for mixing. If the recent rains at harvest have injured the —, of the Argentine crop and placed it in that un- desirable class the winter wheat of North America and western Europe is in, that ig tough and sprouted, the Argentine ex- er will find his wheat passed up and out by the European importer very quick- ly. There isn't a doubt but that the choice springs and white wheats of the North American wheat producers will continue to be called for steadily and with increasing urgency after we get intc the period of decreasing supplies, and that period is not far off now. ‘The English, German, Dutch and French trade is not resting easy just iow over their own crop prospects after the late severe spell of weather, when little snow protection to the plant reported inywhere, and their uneasiness is not a bit allayed by the fact that eastern kurope, ueluding Russia, one «f their main sources of supplies, has experienced the same un- favorable weather and conditions, and south HKussia already crying ‘‘damage by rost.”” It looks as though the spring of 19038 will be prolific of crop scares from all uarters of the globe north of the a: s ” * The December deal continues to hog all the lime light, so far as corn is concerned. The May option has been brated up by the stréne advance in the manipulated month, but while speculation is pretty good in it. with considerable short se ling above 4c hy peeple who look for 35c in the spring the deferred opton isn’t In it In interest with the current month. Corn King C eage really deserves the title, for he certainly controls the corn markets of St. Louis, Chicago and, Kansas City up to this time, and from present prospects appears to have the balance of the month wel, in hand. Of course, all depends upon wh ther the shoris cap fill the sa’es théy have made to him for this month’s delivery. About ha'f the not received one-fifth of the corn that, it s claimed.is owing to him. A good many month has passed, and in St. Louis he has ceaned up geod profits, besides getting away from the cash corn that would have been delivered to him on the contracts he thus settled. * o The positlon taken by the Thyson Com- mission Co., Cleage’s principal representa- tives.on ‘change, that the inspection of corn here had been entirely too liberal, has ereated a good deal of uneasiness among the shorts, and apparently also among the inspectors. Whether it was that or the rainy weather, it is certain the inspection has tightened materia'ly. Where before John Thyson declared himself emphatically on the corn inspection, the average grading contract was over 50 per cent, it has since soppes to 40 per cent. An inspection where No. 3 ranges so in quality that the extreme of sige for that one grade is 3c, looKs a little queer, to say the least. Yet that was seen this past week, and it looked very | much as though St. Louis inspectors were 'as much too liberal in their ag as “hicago inspectors were rigid. The differ- ence between Illinois inspection at East | St Louis and at Chicago is one of the curi- /ous phases of the grain trade. One thing the shorts are depending upon to help them out, if they do not succeed in getting out by deliveries of the actua! corn, is that exchange rule lately discoy- ered that says the settling price on de- faulted contracts shall be the average“casb market price on the day of maturity of the contract, and that no manipulated or. fic- tion in fixing this settling price. It does not even provide a penalty for defaulting o 2 per cent added to the price that the old and abrogated ‘‘corner” rute had. : If this rule is called upon by defaulters on con- tract there will he a big -fight put up against it. There always are defaulters on a ‘‘cornered”’ deal, some of whom have beon known to sell their cash grain at the mar- ket price made by the person or persons running the “‘corner,’’ and then defaulting upon contracts of sales made at prices much lower than the settling price of the day of maturity. On the race track this would be called “welching.'’ A curious fact, by the way. fn connection with a good many of the deliveries of cash corn on December contracts so far is that the h‘gh- priced contracts are those these deliver es are made on. Presumably the low-priced contracts are at the bottom of the deck and not yet been reached. * Based upon the price that exporters have paid for No. 3 corn, the latest fig- ures for December were not so far out of line. If all the cars that No. 3 corn came to market In had heen obtained for ship- ment to seaboard about all that grade ar- riving here would have been taken by ex- porters. How large the'r sales must have ¥=5 for this month's shipment and how @yieult their task in obtaining the corn to fill their sales.

Spec.al to the Post-Dispatch. rl. PASO, Tex., Dee. 15.—The arrest cof i. Hulbert, alias C, T. Hichardson. William Mitchell, alias Wil.iam Mason, and Detective Gray here on the tirst of last month has resulted in the urearthing of a bold end sensational conspiracy to murder. After the arrest of the three men Detective Gray was released on telegraphic instruc- tious from the office of the New York Life Insurance Co. in New York, disclosing the deiective’s identity and explaining that he was employed to hunt down and unmask Hulbert and Mitchell. Following on the heels of the detective’s release startling de- Leslie velopments followed each other in rapid succession, Hiulbert and Mitchell, accompanied by Gray, came here from Chihauhua, and Hul- bert, alias Richardson, at once applied to the New York Life Insurance Co. for a $100,000 policy on the life of Marshall San- guinett, naming David Sanguinett as bene- ficilary. Detective Gray was iniroduced by Hulbert to and was examined by the in- surance ccammpany’s local physician as Mar- shal Sanguinett. The next day the three men were arrested charged with forgery and conspiracy to swindle the New York Life. Two days later Detective Gray was released and the charge of conspiracy to murder was lodged against Hulbert and Mitchell, who employed counsel and insti- tuted habeas corpus proceedings to have their bail reduced. When Gray appeared on the witness stand as a detective and wit- ness for the state Mitchell collapsed com- pletely and lost his reason. He fainted in the courtroom and had to be taken back to jail in an ambulance, and today he ts a mental wreck. THE INSINUATING DETECTIVE, GREY: Gray told of how the sudden and myster- ious deaths of James Devers and Harry Mitchell in Chihauhau, Mexico, and on whose lives Hulbert and Mitchell had col- lected $25,000, had aroused the suspicion of the insurance company and he had been detailed to investigate the men. The detective first met Hulbert at Hot Springs and wormed himself into the con- fidence of the arch swindler. He ac- companied Hulbert to Chihuahua, Mexico, where he was known as Richardson, an agent of the New York Life Insurance Co. The detective learned from Hulbert that James Devers was a drunken bum Hul- bert had picked up in the park at /] Paso and taken to Chihuahua and insured in the New York Life for $10,000, Hulbert’s wiie being named as beneficiary. Soon after th: first premium was pald on Dever'’s policy he died suddenly and Mrs. Hulbect was paid the $10,000 insurance. Then Harry Mitchell, a brother of Wm. Mitchell, was insured for $15,000 and Wm. Micchell named as beneficiary. At noon one day lasi Fed- ruary Mitchell was seen up. town in Chihuahua well and hearty and two hours later died in convulsions at Hulbert’s house. Up to this time Hulbert, alias Richard- son was cheerfully hopeful. But when Dr. Cc. 8 Harle, a practicing physician for Chihuahua was introduced as a state’s wit- ness, the shock was so g.eat that at sight of the doctor Hulbert rode to his feet, pale as a corpse, stagzered like a druken man and then fell back into his seat like one who has abandoned all hope and made an unconditional surrender to despair. Dr. Harle testitied that at Hulbert’s request he made a favorable report on Harry Mitch- eli’s application for a policy without hav- ing examined the a yplicant. It was ar- ranged with the understanding that Hul- bert was to have the doctor appoi:ted ex- amining physician for the insurance com- pany at Cninuahua; and the doctor was to a.so share in the policy when Mitchell died, which Hulbert and Wm. Mitchell, alias anes allas Merridith, assured him would e soon. DEATH CERTIFICATE CONCEALED TRUTH. When the victim did die Dr. Harle was called in and asked to make out a certifi- cate naming cerebro spinal fever as the cause of death. Hulbert showed a bo.tie of strychnine and said Miicheli had com- mitted suicide, but for the sake of the family he wanted that fact suppressed. Th- doctor thought the man had been given strychnine in his food, but wro.e out a bert’s certificate in accordance with Hul- ber.s des.res, Dr. Harle testified that he got only $200 In this case. He examined De- vers and reported favorabiy on him for a pony and said that Devers was fed on whisky containing mercury to make it ap- pear he died of aisentery. _Wednesday Sheriff Ford of Rochester, N. Y., arrived here and filed application for the surrender of Hulbert and William Mitchell as fugit.ves from justice. ‘ihe sheriff called at the jail and identified Richardson as Leslie E. Hulbert, a former lawyer of Rochester, and Mason as Wi:l- iam Mitchell, Hvyepvert’s clerk. Then for the first time Hulbert acknowledged that his name was net Richardson. Sheriff rord nas the papers to suow inat Huiwe t and Mitchell were ind@.cted, the first for bribery to perjure and second for perjury in the divorce case of Helen Moran Vs. Wiliam Moran, tried in Rochester in No- vember, 189. Mrs. Moran was granted a divorce on the perjured testimony. of w.tcuel, at that tim. siu.be..s cl rk, anu Tluilbert was counsel for the plaintiff. Hul- bert was conduct.ng a divorce bureau in Rochester aud had to skip out from there. MEXICO WANTS THE MURDERERS. Mexico steps in.

PARIS, Dec. 13.—Arthur Ware, of New York, an architect and engineer well- known in the Latin quarter of Paris, has invented a remarkable machine. It is said to be a combination of automobile and airship, equalling either in speed and avoiding the dangers ot both. Ware keeps the details of his invention a close secret.

Among the indictments returned by the September grandjury was a true bill of murder against Antonetta Dunlap. She waa arrested on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 16. Circuit Judge Ramsay heard the pre- liminary trial. Witnesses were tntroduced to prove that Miss’ Dunlap had purchased 5 cents worth of strychnine at Craig’s drug store on Aug. 8. She stated she wanted it to cure corns. The state introduced stronger evidence than it had at the preliminary before Jus- tice Doughty. Mrs. Duniap, her son, Melville, daughter, Bessie, testified that Tona was afflicted with corns. Mrs. Dunlap declared she had them for years, and rid herself of them with strychnine; that on her recom- mendation Tona had learned how to apply the poison to the afflicted feet and ob. tained relief. Miss Emma Helma of Ash- land, Neb., said under oath that while Tona visited her last spring, she obtained strych- nine to relieve her cousin’s sufferings. THE TRIAL IS NOW IN PROGRESS. Judge Ramsey held the evidence on the murder charge in the first degree was suf- ficient to bind Miss Dunlap over to the De- cember term of the Mercer County Circuit Court without bail. She was committed to the county fall. Monday, Dec. 1, the case came to trial before Judge Ramsey. State’s Attorney Scott, mayor of Aledo, represented the prosecution. Judge J. B. Connell, L. D. Thomason and Mr. Searle of Rock Island appeared for the defense. Kight days were consumed in obtaining a jury, during which nine special panels, 40 talesmen, were exhausted, Opening statement for the state was made Gorham and Guy C. by Public Prosecutor Scott, retained to as- sist the state’s attorney, by Miss Dool’s relatives. He outlined the propositions of the prosecution as follws: (1) Aille Dool is dead, (2) she died of strychnine pofsoninz, (3) the strychnine was contained in candy produces 22.000.000 pounds -three-fourths of the ranch in the bean Southern Callforn’a of lima beans annually- world’s total prodrction.

Clark Howell, Southern Edi- tor, Marks Democracy's Path. : £E SE SEs JUSTICE TARDY BUT | MAPS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. TARIFF FOR REVENUE, HE SAYS, IS Ai LEADING PRINCIPLE. Prosecution, Criminal and Civil, for the Trusts—With Unity on These Issues, There Should Be Splen- did Courage for Democracy. Clark Howell, Democratic national com- mnitteetman for Georgia, thus gives through the Post-Dispatch his views om the needs of the Democratic party atul its )rospect 688 two years hence. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 13.-There is every reason for *oursdgecus DVemecrats to be- lieve that a harmonious and strenuous campaign may be made popularly trium- phant two years hence. The money standard of the country is no longer an issue. Whether settled rightly or wrongly jt is settled, for the present, at ieast, The Philippine question, in so far_as the retention of the islands is involved, is no longer an issuable one between the par- ties. The only question remaining is how best to administer them for the mutual benefit of the Filipinos and . ourselves. What should the party stand for? lt cannot stand for less than the core— principle of its existence—the principle that has made it an imperishable party—and that is the popular right to handle the na- tional purse tor the greatest good to tne masses. The exchequer is the heart of the pation. The revenues and expenditures of goeverument are to it as the pulses of blood in the iwman body. Plethora in one mem- ber of the body means athe ig! in the others—and poverty of the blood is a sick- ness to the whule organism. THE TARIFF THE THING. A fundamental doctrine of Democracy is blood. supply to the body politic by a tariff for revenue. Internal + ge has never been a Democratic princi The tariff affects the all the people. The oid fallacy that “the loreigner pays the tax’’ is dead beyond resurrection. The people know better to- day than ever before in American history that the consumer pays the tax. The peo- ple need and will ultimately demand fair trade, honest competition, with the neces- Sily of paying no more profits to a home producer than to any other trader. \ Therefore, let it be said that the party should stand: “lL. For tariff laws framed to produce the needed revenues of the government over and above internal revenue receipts. ‘he basis of the customs taxes should be for revenue. The Democratic party does got demand free trade for foreigners, but, fair trade in home markets, whether the sellers e native or foreigners, for the benefit of t e home consumer. “. The Democracy should demand unre- stricted trade between al] parts gt the na- tlonal domain. “Porto Rico and the Philippines are our lands and peoples; freédom of commerce *hould be theirs as fully as it exists be- tween the states and territories on the home continent. The plan that now pre- vails is a foreign device, and the logic tilat underlies it is alien to every instinct of Americanism. THEN FOR THE TRUSTS. Third—As regards the trusts, the most direct way of affording relief to the whole body of the people at once is to. impose the prosecution of specific trust offenses upon the civil and criminal arms of the na@onal jud.ciary and establish by law the policy of putting upon the ‘‘free list’ of the tariff any product, raw or finished, that by reason of the tariff rate is made the subject of trust monopoly. ihe strong factor which helped the vic- tories won by the Democrats in Novem- ber was the growing knowledge of the people that ‘the tariff is the mother of the trusts.’ The Democracy must stand, therefore for a tariff that will prevent trusts and enforce fair competition in trade. Incidental issues wi. be declared upon as usual and in the spirit of conservatism and progress that has characterized the rarty always in dealing ee national con- cerns. But with unity of pu pose among Dem- ccrats in all sections of the country will atcompl]'sh the above specific things when called ‘to power, there should be ample fighting ground and splendid courage for the Democracy of 1904, UNITY IN.

It was decided that there would prac- tically be two dinners in the Exposition bullding on Christmas day—one for the Women and children and families, and one for “single men. (he purpose of this was to avoid posible accident due to the crush. The men will dine in the south nave of the hall, leaving the Coliseum floor to the women and children. Between the “oliseum and the gouth nave the kitchen will be gituated, sé that the service to both will be conveniently carried out. ENTRANCES AND EXITS.

Mr. committee, suggested that there be two tickets, similar in character, but different in color. One of these will admit women, children and men accompanied by women and children through the Fourteenth street entrance. The other will admit single men—th®se unaccompanied by women and children—at the Thirteenth street entrance. GREE STREET CAR RIDES.

His cheeks are flushed with fever and delirious cries mingle with the prayers the father utters for the preserva- tion of his eldest, The case was first hii couttod by Officer Maithew Carbray, who walks ‘that beat. It came to his knowledge Saturday morn- ing. He climbed the winding stairs of the brick stable and was admitted to the sick room, which is also the living room of father and son. He made an investigation and immediately returned the following :e- port to tho Eighth District Police Station at 2827 Manchester avenue: Police Report Goes to Board of Health. ‘There is a sick boy by name of Dar R. Case, 15 years old, living With his father, Dillle Case, in a stable in the rear of 271 Washington avenue. The boy has been confined to pis bed for the last four weeks and has had no medical attention. His father has refused to have him sent to any hospital. He says he does not be- Heve in anything but. prayer and faith. The boy fs so sick that sometimes he is out of his head.’’ Cupt. Joyce, who was in charge at the tims, sent*the report to the Four Courts, and the Board of Health was notified. ‘Assistant Health Commissioner Francis was usked by the police last night what disposition of the case would be made and what the jurisdiction of the police and the board in the matter was. He said the board of health and the police had ‘no right to enter a private place and remove a sick person without permission unless the person were suffering from a contag- lous disease. In the event of smallpox, diphtheria or something equally as con tagious the summary removal of the af- flicted person could be made by force, if necessary. “I will look the law up in the morning,” Dr. Francis said. Father Read Bible by Boy’s Pallet. When a Post-Dispatch reporter entered the sick room at 8:30 last night, the fath- neath .several cheap blankets on a bed in the corner of the narrow room lay the fevered boy. The créaking of the door and the voices aroused him. He half rose in the bed and his eyes glared * apparent terror. “Lie down, Dannie,” said the father, tenderly, “no one {fs going to hurt you.” The Jad fell back on his dingy pallet and rambied in apparent delirium. “water, water,” he cried. The father hastened to the bucket in an- other carner and dipped a glassfull. Léft- ing the emaciated boy with a tender solic!- tude, he placed tle glass to his lps. lad drank with avidity and sighed as he dropped back again. “No, I have not called in a physician,” he said in answer to the question. ‘My re- ligious belief forbids me to do so. Dannie has been sick fomfour weeks. I have cared for him es well as any human person could. To Call Doctor Would Imperil Father’s Soul. “3¢ tt i¢ God's will that he should re- cover, well and good. If it is His will that he shall die, I bow my head in' humble sub- mission’ to the command. I would rather see him called to heaven than to call in a doctor, for to save his life in that manner would be at the peril of my immortal soul.”’ The father stated that his son was taken iil four weeks ago with pnuemonia. He gave him everything to eat that he craved. He bathed him daily with as warm water as the child could stand, and changed his clothes with every bath. “There is no medical efficacy tn water,” he explained, “but cleanliness is next to godliness. I washed his sofled clothes myself and have never left his side a mo- ment." Case owns a 8-acre farm in Texas Coun- ty, Missouri, near Rolla. He has $125 In the bank and $23 on his person. Denies the Sick Boy No Delicacy He Craves. “It is not that I would spare money to give Dannie comfort,’ he said. “I spent & eents for four tomatoes the other day be- cause he craved them. I have spent fully him to eat. I love him too dearly to deny him anything that can be given him 3 #2 i Paces & er was reading his Bible.

Accordin’ to the wi hotes plumb onable to write one themse’ffs, nacherally knows what a story ought to be—no story’s a story onless she’s built up like one of these one-sided hills, Relation must climb painfully from base to peak, on the slope side, with interest on a up-grade, say, of one foot in ten; an’ then when you- -all arrives safely at the summit, the same bein’ the climax, you’re to pitch headlong over the precipice on the sheer an’ other side, an’ the space of not more’n a brace of sentenes, land, bing! bang! emash!—sil broke up at the bottom. That, by what you-all might call ‘our gest literary lighter’ would be a story, an’ since what I’m about to onfold don’t own no sech brands nor y’es¥-miarks, it can’t come on- der that head. “This particular o’casion is when a little Enright Peets Tutt—said blessed in- fant, as I sets forth former, bein’ the conj’int production of Dave Tutt an’ his esteemable wife, Tucsom Jennie—is comin’ eight years old next spring round-up. Little Enright Peets is growin’ strong an’ husky now, an’ is the pride of the _ Wolfville heart. He’s shed his milk teeth an’ is sproutin’ a second mouthful, white an’ clean as a coyote’s. Also, his curiosity is developed powerful, an’ he’s in the habit of pervadin’ about from the Red Light to the New York Store askin’ questions; an’ is as familiar in the local landscape as either the Tucson _ stage or Old Monte, the drunkard who drives it. “One afternoon—it’s about first drink time—Little Emright Peets comes wadilin’ up to Old Man Enright on tham short reedic’lous black b’ar laigs of his, an’ says: | “Bay, Grandad Enright, don’t you-all cimmarons never have no Christmas in this camp. Which if’ you does, all I got to say is I don’t notice no Christmas “mohe since I’ve been yere, an’ that’s whatever!’ “Will you-all listen to this precocious child!’ observes Baright to Doe Pests, with whom he’s in talk. ‘Wherever now do you reckon, Doc, he ever hears tell of Christmas?’ “Blow about it, Uncle Doc’ asks little Enright Peets, turnin’ his eyes up to Pests when he notices Enright don’t reply. “At this Mnright an’ Peets makes a disparin’ gesture, an’ wheels fnto the Red Light for a drink, leavin’ pore little Enright Peets an’ his conundrums standin’ in the street. “That baby puts us to shame, Doc’ says Enright, as he signs up to Black Jack, the barkeep for the Valley Tan; ‘he shows’ us in one word how we meg- leets his eddication. The idee of that child never havin’ had no Christmas! It’s mote of a stain on this commoonity ‘than not hangin’ Navajo Joe that time.’ “*That’s whatever!’ assents Peets, reachin’ for the nose-paint in his turn. ‘Out of the mouths of babes an’ sucklin’s,” as the good book says.’ "This infantile bwff of little Enright Peets goes a long the sensioil’ties of the public. As for Enright, he don’t eames t tobe Don to take Dave Tutt to task. “The thought that you, Dave,’ says Enright, ‘you, a gent yeretofore holds is 7 as distinguished for every paternal virchoo, would go romancin’ along through life, lettin’ that boy grow up in darkness of Christmas, an’ it one of the first festivals of the Christian world! As a play, I. says freely, it’s for “geil “‘She’s shore a shame,’ adds Dan Boggs, who’s also shocked a heap, an’ stands in with Enright to crawl Dave’s hump for his neglect; ‘she’s shore a shame, never te provide no Christmas for that offspring of yours, an’ leave plumb toe many That’s what I states—she’s a shame!’ “Now, gents’ remonstrates Dave, ‘don’t press the hardlimit in these am ’% crowd me too hard. I asks you, whatever could I do? If you—all enthoosiasts will look this Christmas proposition calmly in the face, you'll begin to notice that sech cel’brations aint feasible in Arizona. Christ- mas in its very beginnin’ is based on snow. Who’s the reg’lar round-up boss for Christmas? Ain’t he a disreputable Dutchman named Santa Claus? Don’t he show up wrapped in furs, an’ with reindeer an’ sleigh, an’ hock deep in a snowstorm? Answer me that. Also show me where’s your snow, an’ where’s your sleigh, an’ where’s your reindeer, an’ where’s your Dutchman in Wolfville? You-all better go about fixin’ up your camp an’ your climate so as to make one of these yere Christmases possible before ever you come buttin’ in, cavilin’ an eriticisin’ ag’in me as a parent.’ “*Which jest the same, Dave,’ contends Dan, who takes the euplaodo mighty sour, ‘it looks like you-all might have made some sort o’ play.’ “‘About: this time, as addin’ ite’f to the gen’ral jolt given the Wolfville nerve by them Christmas questions put aforesaid by little Enright Peets, news comes floatin’ over from Red Dog of a awful spree that lowflung outfit enjoys. It’s a Six Shooter Weddin’; so deenominated, because Peter Bland, the outlaw for whom. the party is made, an’ his wife, the Duchess, has been married six years an’ an’t done nothin’ but fight. Wherefore, on the sixth anniversary of their nuptials, Red Dog resolves on a SixShooter Weddin’; an’ tharupon descends on those two wedded warriors, Pete an’ the Duchess, in a body, pockin’ fiddles, nose. paint, an’ the complete regalia of a most frantic shindy. An’ you hear me, gon, them Red Dog tarrapins throws themse’{fs loose! You-all could hear their happy howls in Wolfville. f “As @ reason for the outburst an’ one consistent with its name, the guests endows Pete an’ the Duchess each with belts an’ a brace of guns. “‘To the end,’ as says the Red Dog cha’rman when he makes the presenta- tion speech, ‘that as between Pete an’ the Duchess, we as a commoonity pro- motes @ even break, an’ clothes both parties in interest Kermit atts end serve the peace.’ “As I observes, it’s the story of these proud doin’s on sis Sool toh aint / rival, Red Dog, that undoubted goes some distance to decide us Wolves of Wolf- ville on pullin’ off a Christmas war-jig, for little Enright Peets. We ain’t goin’ to be outdone in this business of bein’ fervid. _ “It’s mebby & month prior to Christmas when we resolves on this yere rack- et, an’ so we hag ample time to prepare. Almost every afternoon an’ evenin’ over Valley Tan we discusses an’ does our wisest to evolve a program. It’s then we re the wisdom of Dave’s observations touchin’ how onfeasible, ut- ter to go talkin’ of Christmas in southern Arizona, “ ‘Nacherally’ remarked Enright, as we sits about the Red Light, turnin’ the game in our mings, ‘nacherally, we ups an’ gives little Enright Peets presents. Which brings us with easy swoops to the inquiry, “Whatever will we give him?” ““We-all can’t give him fish-lines none, an’ sech,’ says Doc Peets, takin’ up Enright’s argument, ‘for thar ain’t no fish.

A photographer of this city made this picture from the original, which is prised very highly by its owner. As far as known this is the first time the picture has ever been given to the pub- lic, and it will be highly appreciated by the countless admirers of the great general of the Confederate forces. It will be recalled that early one even- ing in the month of May, 1863, Stonewall Jackson rode this animal in company with several of his staff, to the outer border of his army to gain more accurate knowledge of the union forces, which were in the vicinity of Chancellor evilie, Va., where ‘ .

They make much of this sport, which certainly brings rosy cheeks and geod health. The climax fs reached on Cliristmas eve, when all are dressed ‘n fantastic costume and the lake is surrounded with lighte. On Christmas morn at this manor all were awakened from their siitimberse with the beautiful Christmas carols sung by the tenantry. ‘The host and hostess had given the commend to all the household, guests included, that all must appear at breakfast on Christmas morning to greet the tenantry und tender them the holiday gifts and greetings.

He brought to the great mistress of the world her, chief glory—the message of the Christ born in Bethlehem some 40 years before. He made Rome the seat of the universal and never-ending empire, the empire of the church of God. Little did the pagan city realize the treasures. which tne humble Hebrew brought. Her people would have laughed him fo scorn had he proclaimed his mis- sion and said, “The gods of Rome I will dethrone and here the Ohild born in Bethlehem .shall reign. Upon yonder Vatican hill I will place the seat of Christ’s power, and on the Aventine and Capitoline will I erect the cross, emblem of :his death. .The temple of the mighty Jupiter shall be sacred to the Crucified. | The Parthenon shall be dedicated to the heroes of the new religion. As of yore, all nations shall pay homage to Rome, but henceforth ‘it will be the Rome of Pe- ter.” 4 | The papacy has lived in Rome through 19 centuries. There is nothing more in keeping with the Christmas spirit than to examine the manner in which the mission of the Redeemer has been carried down the ages, There is nothing more touching in the religion of Christ than the way we love and reverence the anni- versary of hie lowly birth. But. it is the mission of Christ in practice as well as in precept. which should occupy our thoughts when the anniversary of his birth recurs. In Rome there have been wondrous changes, even in the past 50 years. The man who is continuing the work which Peter begun is despoiled of all temporal power, and shut up in solitude within the walls of the Vatican. This Christmas finds the Pontiff on trial in the world as never before since the days of the Cata- combs. But Christ never abandons his church. At all critical periods of the pre- vious history of the papacy Providential Popes have been seated in the chair of Peter, and bv singular force of mind and singular skill of action have been able, under the Divine guidance, to overcome all difficulties and bring victory to the religion of Christ. So waen the hours seemed darkest for the papacy Joachim Peoci was proclaimed Pope. (Be. 3 How is the papacy con the mission of Christ in, Rome teday? Christ’s cause lives, reigns and triumphs.

O THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 2s Ateishop John ia governments. On the anniversary of the birth of Christ the successor of Peter is the foremost leader in the world, the religious and spiritual teacher of all man- kind. _. The age is profoundly democratic, Its democracy, more than any other of its chpracteristics, differentiates it from preceding ages. In its principle democracy dates from the hour when Christ bade all men say, “Our Father, who art in Heaven.” Through all Christian history its development is traceable, beginning with St. Patil’s request to Philemon to receive as a brother the slave Onesimus, and becoming.more manifest through succeeding years as the teachings of the gospel were more clearly understood and better opportunities were afforded to realize them in practice. Today, at the beginning of the twentieth century, de- mocracy under the guidance of Christ’s church seems to have obtained its full growth. Democracy is a complete recognition of human dignity and of human rights, and the concession to alJ men, as far as social relations and differences of natural endowment will allow, of the rights and privileges which all meh should enjoy within the social organism. It is the equalization of all men in rights and opportunities, It is the recognition in principle and .practice of the dignity of mankind in every man. Today democracy finds its chief manifestations in the movemM@ts of the working classes to ameliorate their conditions and to obtain a fitting compensa- tion for their labor and in the aspirations of the masses of the people to par- ticipate more largely in the government of the nation. The workingman, at one time.a slave, at another time the serf, has not al- ways and everywhere, even in modern times, enjoyed his full natural rights. The law declared him free, but poverty.and weakness tended to reduce him to servi- tude. What was said to be a boon to the workingman, to open the market for labor, frequently put him in a condition of a beast of burden or a piece of ma- chinery, to.be valued only for nm» puwer in keeping the wheels of industry in mo- tion and tobe accorded the lowest reward that competition with fellow-labot- ers in a state akin to starvation made possible. The age of democracy could not endure such a degradation of human dignity, The masses heretofore have had but little part in the government of society. Rulers were kings and nobles; the people obeyed the law, but had so part in making it. Once enthroned, ‘rulers held that they forever owned the country and the people, and however profound the changes, which in the course of time the nation experienced, the reigning dy- nasty believed their rights to be unchangeable. - AEN gor | in the affairs of nations. 6 Ae k3 The encyclicals of Leo XIII are the characters of modern democracy, If te papacy is, as it claims to be, a divine institution, it is to be expected’ that # should guide the new age as it guided all preceding ages.

—— “4 Christmas spent On © plantation fh §t- takapas fn 1835 ts still Fresh Th my memory.” changes time has wrought only make more pre- cious the brilliant and fadeléss scenes of our past tyovth. Referring to the many happy Christmas- tides which are swallowed up in the past with almost all of my contemporaries, and to the then, condition of the’ people of wealth and culture whose loving care made by childhood’ a heaven on earth, I am astounded by the contrast between the environment of the fam- flies in 1830, the dearth of every convenience, and the appliances and comfort which prevail now, without which people of this day would consider themselves bereft pf the commonest neces- earies of life. Yet the women of that day were passing happy, and felt no need which was not stpplied. They were well edu- cated, knew ‘the duties of thelr household, loved their families, made them happy, and personally watched over their chtldren with zealous vigilance. In our whole community I do not re- member one divorce. There was no gas in those days, no kero- gene oll, there were no lucifer matches. There were wax and geperm candles in plenty, but when dark closed down in the even- ing two cand’es were considered a sufficient light. An inch of punk and a flint served to kindle a spark to light the fires, and the: family were cheered and content. ‘ The gorgeous children’s books, which adotn every table and ‘bookshelf now would put to shame our poor little “Robinson Crusoe,"’ with its shabby striped cotton binding, yellow paper, ite coarse woodcuts which portrayed @ very hirsute Crusoe mak- ing signs to a yery bandy-legged, big-mouthed man Friday, who wes a subject Of endless speculation and novelty as well as adsfiration to the children of that day. We heard the waves -v-s‘yeat about the desert island, ‘saw the tracks which assured Cru- Boe ofa chance for human sympathy and lilted the old song: “He built him a house in which he might put The carcass of Robinson Crusoe.” Peter’ Parley's rhyming geography, Webster's spelling book, having for a frontispiece a decoliste, athletic woman in a hel- met guiding a child-to the Temple of Fame on a high hill, and @ small volume of Mother Goose rhymes made up our little store of books. But our parents read to us ovt of “Gray's Blegy,” the “Ootter’s Saturday Night,”’ Wordeworth's, Gay's and La Fontaine's fables, not to mention Scott's ‘Border Minstrelsy,’’ the “Tales of the Crusaders."” The thought often presents Ttself * en ‘upon the Sie) sitin AS TIN ¥v Nirs.defferson Davis. to-me, are. the. children much wiser or much better for the host of children’s- books: which ‘re so simple that they. are .under- stood without any. exerelse /o¢. their minds? I doubt it, and feel confident that every effort/children make to, surmount the. diffi- culties a higher class of literature presents, strengthens and ma- tures. their’ minds. Suck pooks are a mental punching bag which it is good for, them to attack. There was no great Yariety of. toys—a few horses and dogs of papier-mache or.of fin, devked with common tinsel, balls from Switzerland and’ Germany, with a few of Noah’s. hetero- geneous guests. and. his hideous family, bags of. marbles, toy whips, drums, tin h¢@rns and all the artificial means known at that day of, making/ g noise at which the children of this day look with indifferenye, not so say with contempt. These, never- theless, were the fmestimable treasures of my playfellows. Such a thing as a rocKjng-horse did not exist in our section of the country. Our father bought for us the little plaster horse which served ay @ sign Hyver a livery stable, and when we saw it in the dim Mght ofa Qhristmas morning we feared to touch it lest it should be an'angol's horse. A wax do!l with stiff sawdust limbs, such & one 88 How could be bought for 50 cents, then cost $4. A Christmas £nent on a plantation in Attakapas itn 1830 is very fresh in my Mémory. It was on one of the great prairies pecull- ar to that paft of Louisiana. ‘The ground stretched miles away, covered with) prairie grass, which the wind kept incéssantly in motion like/q yellow sea, except where ponds of: fresh water crossed the! track (for roads there were none) of the visitors, from one lantation to another. These ‘“marais’’ were seldom deep, 80 *Veryone drove through them, though they were then the preferteq haunts of the enormous alligators which preyed foats, calves and sheep which grazed over the prairie. Away to the east stretched the shaking prairies, which would bear up &/ four-footed animal but not a man. The planters had light barguches, and some of them had carriages out of which & little get of steps let down as an exit, but the country people (the “Cagans’’) had caleches, the most woful vehicles to those who u8@4 them. They were like skeleton goods boxes covered with St/een hides, which dried on the frames.and were placed on @ny} pair of whecis available, and without springs. These conveY&noes were drawn by wiry little active ponies, with long fetlocKky, and cat hams. They were the cousins of-the bronchos of thg Northwest. Coupled close to the caleche, and an over- checlf rein to keep them from kicking, they went their own gaits regardless of their drivers, and they generally preferred to IHne. When the bumping began the chorus of groans from — ae se mee Bs $y ® SES ie ee hb wy .

The cuit had been distributed among friends and neighbors, and the week before Christmas great trays of raisins to be stoned, currants, citron, jars of angelica, preserved ginger, dried figs, with baskets of apples, were deposited in the wide hall of the dwelling, with knives, spoons and the meager paraphernalia of implements, with all the ingredients needful for making the large jar of mincemeat without which Chrismas would have been a poor feast. The household sergants, in their bright- colored ‘‘head-handkerchiefs’”’ (never called turbans in those days), their white aprons no whiter than their teeth, were all on duty, Everyone was busy and happy. The chil- dren were in ecstacies, dipping gingerly into each dainty a rosy finger for a taste. - At last the mincemeat was mixed and.the pies were baked... Each of the little ones: had “been-given a tiny pie, baked for. them. by their own special black» -mammy. . Christmas eve had come. The ¢hildren had consented to go to bed early, near- ly. hysterical with anticipation of the dawn of Christmas. Then the stockings were to be filled and hung in an‘apoplectic row about the fireplace. After the servants had retired the mistress took from a: hiding place innumerable packages of sugar, coffse, tea. rice.and flour, tied up weeks. before by the ladies of the family and labeled for the servants, added‘to which were plaid head-handkerchiefs by the dozen, plaid woolen “dress pat- terns,’’. shoes,..steckings, bright-colered .aprons, handkerchiefs— even hats, trimmed by the lacies of the household—were there, and little pin-cushions made at home by the family—the chil- dren’s gift to their favorite I‘ttle negroes. All these were put in a new cotton basket, to be issued to the proprietors on Christmas eve.’ The ‘“quarter~bel!ll’”” was rung to assemble the beneficiaries, and the glad chorus of ‘“Thankee, missus; I hopes you and’ massa and the chillun will live a long time,’ was the response. Then the negroes’ presented “the “aiggs’ they had been saving for weeks to make the eggnogg, in which they were to share. The master of the house gav> the men-servants about him personally as many suits of clothes, socks or shoes as he could spare. On this Christmas one of our guests, who was well known to be disinclined to give anything away, found org of her’ old cotton frocks so much the worse for wear that she decided to give it to one of our washerwomen named Sabina. The wilted old woman was too polite to decline the gift. She courtesied, saying: ““Miss Betsey, I tank you for de curosity and the gin- rosity to let me have dis coat.’’ Expecting to be amused by her answer, the careful lady asked: “What do you mean by those words?’’ With another low obelsance, the o'd woman answered: ‘De curosity is for you to give me dat frock, de ginrosity is for me to take ’em, ma’am,”’ which remark closed the conversation. In the gray of the morning the little people crept out of bed to take a furtive look at their stockings, and like “Littl Tom- tiny Horner’ put i: their thumbs and pull out a plum—and when the candies, long sticks of striped peppermint and, hard-sugared almonds (for there were no French sugar plums) rolled out, with oranges and apples and the little tinsel-trimmed toys, their shouts of joy were irrepressible. They emptied the bags of marbles and played vigorously, regardless of their plight—until the nurses came in, shouting: ‘Christmas gift, chillun, I done caught you, what you got for mammy?” If the children were not liberal with the candy mammy would hide the piece taken athe Old: South © “lf you want to make ole Satan run, Why, shoot him with yo gos- pel gun; | Load yo gun with hope and. grace, And shoot. ole Satan in the face.” and. exclaim: “Laws’a mussy, is dat all you ont for mammy? I done put ‘dat-in my eye—it was too little to eat.” When the family were all up and dressed, then the great bowl of eggnogg was distributed in punch cups'to the family, & thimbleful~ to the children, a tumblerful each to the servants and then breakfast. Waffles, hot corn cakes, flaky rolis, beaten biscuits, white and -lght as feathers, broiled woodcocks with their heads tucked under their wings, quail on toast, French co‘- fee, which stained the porcelain: cups yellow, t% was so strong, and the white children each had his favorite negro child, usuai- ly about’ his own: age, brought in, who squatted on the floor close to the little master and shared everything in common with him, notwithetanding the threat of the older servants de- livered‘in an‘ undertone: “Dem -good ‘things wasn'’t-made for you. I got a great mind to bust you wide open!” whichgonly a grin to the shining, fat Yittle faces. Breakfast fairly over, the baying of hounds.could be heard and the nelghing of One neighbor after another, came in with a game bag over shoulder, his boots outside of his trousers, with shotgun in and copper powder flask tied. about his neck with & cord.. took a glass of eggnogg and by the time they had all bled, 15 or 20 motinted men and several negroes on plow clattered off across the prairie. The game was in immense tities, wild ducks, plover, wild geese, pappa bottes deer, some- times a bear and more rarely still a painter (panther) now called a mountain lion or wildcat, and they brought home a pon oP harvest of game. As the day wore on the negroes serenaded the “great house’ by stnging their own hymns, such as, “If you want to make ole Satan run, why shoot him with yo gospel guh. Load yo gun with ‘hope and grace and shoot ‘ole Satan in de. face."" Thanksgiving has too lately passed for me to deacribe — the huge turkeys, the roasted shoep and the other good provided for the Christmas fenst to which the hungry did full justive while the wide-eyed children Mstened to thelr talk with silent delight.

Those churches whose her- metical sealing during six days cf each week seems to imply that there may be no commerce he- tween bewildered, sore-troubled humanity and its God, save on the Sabbath, gave forth musical rumblings, and now and then seme clear, sweet notes of praise rose high, like the winged vpward rugh of the birds outside when startled from their ivy ghel- ter. The city was gayvly picturesque in snow and greenery, and he was indecd a glum and surly shopman who failed to have a bovgh at his door or a few fect of green feswoning about his wares. _ As is usual, Mr. and Mrs. Lo-thé-Poor- Actor would have extra work to do on the great church and home festival, and the espectacular play required much extra re- hearsing, much spangiing and embroidering and going over the marches and dances at night after the play was ovecr—all of which was done cheerfully and willingly, and if some of us hallet girls, quite n out, eat down for ‘“‘just a moment’’ on fhe rolied-up stage carpet and fell asleep there, we were prodded up with jest and laughter and went blinking sheepishly to our places —our “first positions, please!'’ Every one of us was talking, reading, thinking Christmas. So many people were entertaining that we were puzzled to know whom they found to entertain—and Hattie and Mary and Semantha and Clare. whv together danced and marched and chorused and stood about in the crowd, exchanged wishful, affectionath glances and then mentally parceled out her week's five dol- lars again. Roard—washing—basket-money ~—some tormenting small incidentals, such as a lot of cold cream, a patch on shoe, bot- tle of cough mixture, and those extra spangies and tineel braids to come just now! Oh, dear! not one found enough left to provide the banquet she longed to spread for “‘the girls.’’ Semantha—poor little beast of burden, true heathen and victim of a malign, vi- tuperative mother—a woman monster—I have already told her tragic. story; but this was before ignoble-betrayed and sold her into slavery—she was a bright, viva- cious, ignorant, sharp creature, brown of hair and dancing eye, white-toothed, red- lipped and absolutely thrilling with the bliss of warmth and light and music, known to her for the first time in her tor- mented life; admiring all, but loving me with a dog-like watchfulnese that was more painful than pleasant. Our ergorced intimacy with her had just one di ree- able feature—Semantha’s habit of swearing on the slightest provocation. She had been born into the ‘vorld under a rain of oaths; she had been brought up on them and by them; swearing was as natural to her as breathing. I shall never forget her an- swer, when, after one of her outbursts, I cried sharply, “Don't you know anything of God, at all?" With wplifted head she answered: ‘Ja, my fraulein. I know he’s to swear by—und de Christ, too—only my stepfader, that s’goot to me, he don’ never like a voman person to swear by him”; then, rather dreamily, “I wonder why dat is now?" And I gasped, helplessly, ‘Oh, Semantha!’’ and we went down to dance and wave our gauze scarfs before the peo- ple who were sending preachers far away to find heathens to save. Yet the blond Mary, with cheeks, vacillating, wavering, unsteady, who smilingly enswered to the name of “*Weathercock”’—Hattle, the warm-hearted but curt, almost brusque-mannered one— and Clara, the walking interrogation point, the personified ‘“‘Why?'’—were all indebted to poor Semantha for finding of the way that led to the banquet. “Ur vou don't turn up de nose, deres de Duteh-treat way. It's youst like de same as Americans’ picnic. Every ladys prings vat she like, and den altogedder put. Vell den can’t we vring’’ (she smiled a brilliant shell-pink appreciation of the situation) “not youst vat we like, but youst vat we can get, eh, and put all togedder?’’ Then flushing all over at her presumption in saying ‘‘we,"’ she corrected herself hastily, ‘‘I mean for you.” *“‘Why, Semantha,’’ I cried, “you are a jews! of cleverness! Girls, say, can't we have a little spread that way on Christmas Eve, after the performance—just us four?’ “Oh!” crled Semantha, ‘“‘den can’t me, too!” and folding her arms about herself she danced and capered with delight, cry- ing: “I never was in no party in my life before!”’ At that night’s rehearsal none of fell asleep upon the great roll of carpet, we were too busy discussing our proposed ban- quet. First of all—location! Where was this feast to be spread? Mary boarded, and far uptown, at that. Semantha’s own ad- mission into her miserable homs was too uncertain to think even of asking another to enter there. I also boarded, and a mcntal] picture came to me of that small, peniten- tial cell; the bony, broken-ribbed bed, that hungered horse-like for straw and shiv- ered for a blanket. Mven if my guests folded their legs neatly up and sat upon them I doubted if four of us could thus find room upon that meager couch. Bu- reauless, gasless, the one chair holding the girls’ things, the trunktop sustaining the feast and the of] lamp illumination— where, I asked myself, was the necessary Space for joyous expansion? All eyes turned upon Hattie. Her mother had been a widow so long that she now spoke of her “great loss’ and on Sundays she wore to church a breastpin shaped like an in- dividual butter-plate. Now, if you cut out the “great loss” and the breastpin, she was a good, religious, hardworking woman, an she and her daughter lived in a tiny one- Story, five-roomed cottage. Do you catch the point? No landlady to placate—chairs, table, dishes, light, filre—oh, of course, cer- tainly—Hattie’s home was the only pos- sible place for our banqueting. Next—what was to be the special feature of the feast? Could there be a doubt of the answer, I wondered! Far from the ocean, we had the iniander’s longing for the fruits of the sea—so it was with shining eyes and moist lips that all four started out with: “If we could only have oysters!" and then we laughed at our unanimity, while Semantha hugged herself again Word came next morning that’ Hattie’s mother would cook the supper for us, and that she would provide coffee and milk, and bread and butter, and pickles—and we couid do the rest. Instantly secrecy began to be shown; no one wanted anyone else to guess what she was going to bring. Snow fell, the cold grew sharper after it, and I crackled at every movement from the newspapers i wore across my shoulders and chest to turn the cold that cut through my thin little cloak so easily. Half frozen, yet per- fectly happy, I made my purchases, and was childish enough to take two small cans of oysters instéad of one large one, it sounded too opulent—cans! My star offering was to be—oh, if I might only reach the price, only to find a small bunch, over so small, if it were nice and white—think of the triumph of sitting down to celery— oyster and celery! Heavens, what a Christ- mas! Who could ever forget it? The man who waited upon me, seeing my torturing anxiety, finally brought forth a miniature bunch, darkly green-topped, not bleached very high up the stalk—but the perfume! oh, and the price? ‘‘Thanks, I'll take that,’’ and when I asked him, “Please do it up entirely in paper, it was to be a surprise.”’ he looked understandingly and very kindly at me, and before closing down the top end he dropped a handful of nuts in the parcel—nuts that later were cracked on Hattie’s flatiron. Christmas Eve 1s the worst night of the whole year for theaters, therefore we had a very short play, then a final and long rehearsal of marches and dances and scenes, Each girl had arrived with parcels, which she secreted to the best of her ability, and Semantha was saying, to her- self, as I entered, ‘‘That she vas damned, if she didn’t believe de legs was all broken alratty!’’ Every one had made some tiny addition to our every day apparel. I know I wore a brandnew beaded net on my hair. Mary had her mother’s bracelet and a pair of cleaned white gloves—the nose, not the eye advertising the fact. Semantha had a child's strand of cora] choking her nearly black in the face, and a red leather belt that evidently belonged to one of her small half-brothers, and fastened upon her shab- by alpaca breast was the old-fashioned double cravat pin that belonged to ~_ father.

We entered and foux great ‘‘Ohs!”’ broke from our cold-blued ‘oe We were in a small, well-lighted, well-warmed, well- cleaned kitchen. A clock tic-tacked rapidly and fussily, after the manne¥ Of cheap clocks the world over. A b gray cat dozed on a mat behind the stov? and—and the table was already set! No wonder we “oh'd!’ with pleasure. We advanced, one by one, and laid our offerings—a the feet, at it were, of the Mrs. Mother. Phen fox- lowed a short wait in tne ne¥#*t room, where, unable to keep still, we Iked u, and down, arms about waists and %ng a part song. Then we were called. fe sat where we were told at the white overed table, that had a scanty green wr th in the center and within it a glass d¥sh of plum preserves, that threw exquisite hes of color about.

We had grasped our napkins, when stern “hem!’' from Mrs. Mother ca éur attention, and shamed at our forgetfu ness we bent our heads while the gra haired woman murmured her “For what are about to receive,’’ and Semantha ask wonderingly: ‘‘What does she talk abo Got at de meal times for?’ But the plates were being passed—dea heaven! what has become of the savor o food since then? We ate first to appease keen hunger, then for the delight of our astonished palates; and presently Mra, Mother arose a moment, to return bearing the celery, and such a joyous shout wel- comed it that I felt I was indeed the bene- factress of my chums. Twice Semantha arose and reached over to replace the fal- len saddle of one of her horses, saying at nen] — - — _ ~~ last: “Never mind, I eat dat horse mrs self!’ ., Suddenly a long, forlorn “‘Moo-oo"’ sound. ed from without. Any one who has ever lived on a farm would recognize at once that note of protest of distress. Again a louder ‘“‘moo-oo.” Mrs, Mother and daugh- ter Hattie looked at each other. “It’s that Dutchman at the corner of the alley, has gone off and got drunk, I suppose,” stern- ly explained the former, ‘‘and he’s left that poor cow out In the yard.”’ ‘tind why shall she holler uf nobody don’t hurt her?’ asked Semantha. “She hollers to get in out of the cold and in to her stall and her straw bed,” re- plied Hattie. We sang; we even coaxed Mrs. Mother to quaver a few stanzas. Then stories fol- lowed, of course, Bible stories. old Chriax- mas legends. Mrs. Moticr a Manx woman, and she was full of myatic, an- cient tales. The blazing eyes of the little Dutch girl at times seemed ready to Jump out of her head with excitement. When the tale of the great angel sweping down to earth with the wondrous message to the shepherds was ended, she eagerly said: “What a pity dey didn't catch one of dem and put him in a cage, so dey could see how he look in de daytime!” Twen Mrs. Mother told the lovely story of the humble birth of the dear Savior of men, with the gentle tired eyes of the oxen and the ass looking on at the divine mys- tery, and how in memory of that precious night, all the world over, the cattle at midnight of Christmas Eve reverently kneel as if in prayer. Swiftly Semantha exclaimed: infernal hell's lie‘ “Well, I never!’ gasped the narrator. “How dare you?” exclaimed Hattie. “To speak to an old woman like that?” id Mary. “How old is she den?” asked the incor- “2 ww “What an tinued on Page Seven of This Magazine. * ie ae a . \ —— * b , 4 oat ae Ae he. ‘ aon . “¥ 2, a .< 3 is ~*~ £ + 4 ae a SO Se ee ; Se : Oe we & ss Pa: oor a eee a <a Bie it a . atts , ~~

I had hung up my stocking the night before, hoping that some trifle might be put into it and-because I knew that other children hung up their stockings on Christmas Eve. Very eafly.next morning I sprang from my © bed and ran to the place where I had hung it. M Y first Christmas a breaker boy! I remember it as distinctly as if it « At first I was very much disappointed. The little stocking looked as empty as when it was hung on the nail the night before. Pulling it down I thrust my hand into it and found in the tip of the toe—a silver dime. Though I was over 12 years of age at the time it was the first silver dime I had ever owned, and, so far as I can remember, it was the first I had ever seen. A species of local paper currency was used at that time in the soft-coal region of Illinois. You may imagine that I was delighted to get the little piece of real money. Small as it was it was much more than my stepmother could afford to give me. It seemed too valuable to spend, so I kept it carefully for a long time. I cannot now recollect for what purpose, it was finally spent, Although I had then begun my career as a.mine worker I had not been at the work long enowgh to receive any money: A few days before Christmas I had left school and gone to the mines finding a job as a door boy. My work was to open and close the doors in the mine passages when the horses and coal cars passed through. Strictly speaking I was never what is known as a “breaker boy.” The work of the latter is in the breaker and not in the mine. Christmas among the anthracite coal miners-will not, I fear, be a very merry or joyous one this year. The miners are so heavily in debt to the grocers and other tradesmen that they will have very little money, if any, w spend for holiday gifts. While the burden of the long strike bore heavily on both operators and miners, it should be remembered that the children of the operators will not look in vain for the coming of Santa Olaus, as will our little boys and girls in the coal regions. No operator’s child will find an empty stocking on Christmas morn- ing, though many a breaker-boy will The churches, of course, have festivals of various kinds on Christmas Day, which the breaker-boys may attend if they choose. So far as I know, no enter- tainments are arranged for their especial benefit. Sometimes the mine superin- tendent will allow them to harness the solery mviles and have a drive on Chriit- mas Day. Some of the boys will buy cigarettes, for the breaker-boys are not so notice- ably different from other boys of the same age. Considering their hard lives they are wonderfully chgerful little fellows. They all look and act older than they really are. The hard: work makes them stunted in growth and serious in disposition. w » af > 23 > — Rees Gee 8 ae as a . y, ~ Pon noe x Rin, See Bees + ae gees Me » a eg a = = 7 o - ii a eo ae ee Oi tise Get | ee. ‘2 y RS OE SS Fae, % €. % > , ae =e x | iPM ; P hiss Picking out the sharp slate cuts their fingers until the blood comes. This happens more frequently in the winter time and causes them a great deai of pain, There were 21,000 of ‘these little breaker-boys itvolved in the reeent strike, According to: the state law, none of them should begin work undgr 12 years of age, but as a matter of fact, a large number of them ‘are ‘working under the le- gal age. “Pm 12 when I’m here in the breaker but, only 10 when I’m at home,” said one little fellow, when asked his age. Their work consists of picking out the slate and other waste materials from the coal before it is loaded on the cats for shipment. The coal descends a num- ber of sloping chutes andthe boys sit astride of the chutes and pick out’ the refuse. The noise of the descending coal on the metal-covered chutes is deafening, and the dust is so thick that it is impossible to take’ a photograph of the breaker-boys while they are at work. For 10 long houte of such work they receive from 64 to 77 cents, though their pay, averaged throughout the year, is only 52 cents a day.

What a question—we were taken unaware. This girl, flushed and excited, awaited information. I looked entreating- ly at the lifeworn woman who headed the table. With a tough of acerbity she in- sisted, “He was. the very Son of the all- powerful God, and He came to save the whole sinning human family." “Well, den,’ quickly: broke in.Semantha, “why didn’t He do it up dere den, or be rich down here?

Und why shall de beasts on dere knees go, youst for seein’ a Waby borned?” | I felt the vexed backward shove of Mrs. “a a | caught her hard fingers! “Please”’ I breathed. ‘Oh, please! the ofily Bible she ever saw, her mother burned.” ‘uf any one com’ murder here I holler and you yell de police here.

Three shrieks broke from three frightened girls. We bounded to the gutter, clutching at one another and ahiv- éring. Mary looked ie. fainting. “Don’t!” I whispered, “Oh, don't!” ~~ Then Gerhantha straightened up: “Stay you here. fraulein; Pil see what makes dat noise.” “Let me go with you," d fingers in the corners of her shawl, drew back and made a little running jump and calight at the top of the fence. Hung there a moment, scraping her toes wildly up and down in search of some purchase— found it, lifted herself up and peeped over into the enelosure. A strong expulsion of breath reached us at the same moment. Oh, what could it be? And then a cry broke from Semantha's lips—she looked back at us. Unier the flood of moonlight her face was marble white, her eyes blazed, her throat worked convulsively. The coral beads sprang ‘hrough the air and lay a pink adder on the walk. One more glance she gave over there, then hurled herself to the ground, caught each of us by a hand and in a thrilling, triumphant voice, cried: “By Got, it's true! it's true! down to your knees und make de prays! make ‘em quick! quick! youst like de cow's making dem over dere!’ Rushed by the wild power of her com- mand two termbling voices quavered forth on the one side, “Our Father who art in heaven,” and on the other “Jesus, Mary, Joseph, save me!’ and Semantha bowed * her head and exultanfly -caught at one word and then andéther. Then still hold- ing our hands she raised us and tip-toed seftiy away, breathing low, “Und 1 saw it! I saw it by my own eyes!” When we parted she lifted a forefinger and said: ‘“‘My stepfader shall tell me more about dat Bibles book my mudder burnt!” Every absolutely real and genuine thing is in a certain degree impressive, and be- ing absolutely and truly a heathen that poor child was impressive, and over and over, fitting its measure to my muffled steps, I seemed to hear the divine words: “I am not come to call the righteous, but * the sinner.to repentance... ..

LONG tinle ago a father sat in an old house in New York City 7 BA on Christmas Eve writing a poem‘ for the delight of his chil-- . aren when. they should gather about him the next moraing . to hear a Christmas story. ‘, With the spirit of Christmas about, him and the stockings hang- ‘ing before his eyes, Clement Clarke Moore wrote ‘those electric lines. “The Night Before.Christmas” awakenéd the laughter of happy” children in the author’s gome the next morning, and it was 80 rich in: the spirit of Christmas, sd full of the Christmas thoughts of a child, so wonderfully descriptive of St. Nicholas, the reindeer and that ex- pectancy which fairly bulges the walls of the homes of children on Christmas Eye, that in time not only Mr. Moore’s children were laugh- ing, but there poured into his kindly heart the laughter of children © from whatever part of the world the English language is spoken. “The Night Before Christmas” became the only classie of the thou- sands of Christmas poems. It is certain that no other Christmas story so delights a child, and it is safe to say that there is scarcely a man or woman in the United States who could not identify those lines as lines from “The Night Before Christmas.” WAS the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature wa? stirring, not even a mouse.’ The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced tn their heads; And mamma in her ’kerchief, aud I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap; When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, 7 rose from my bed to see what was the.matter, WA ¥ tothe window I flew lke a flash,: Lore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

Suit after suit arose and complications succeeded complications un- til it became apparent that a compromise must be made in order to save the estate. ‘ i is ata it Craven was satisfied, and tho bulk of the money went to Charlies L. Fair and his sisters, Mra. Herman Oelrichs and Mrs. W. Ki Vanderbilt, Jr. Charies L. Fair was in the prime of his manhood. He and his wife who had res- cued him were absolutely devoted to each other and the future l0éked bright and joyous, He found in automobdiling a zest and excitement that nothing else had ever given him. He had more money that he could @asily epend, for the last inventory of INHERITED rae.‘ the death of Charles L, Fair bequeathed to the New Jersey relatives of his devoted wife. All the world knows that Charles L. Fair and the wife to whom he owed so much of peace and happiness, were killed in an automobile accident in France not long ago, and that a portion of his fortune has enriched a number of hard-working and unas- suming folk in New Jersey—the relatives of. Mrs. Fair—who had known the most oved only one degree from poverty. the effect upon these modest people of the nding the money? Has sudden wealth pre- duced extravagance? What plans have they made for its investment? What, in a general way, would be the effect of the distribution of a fortune of this magnitude among those who have been accustomed only to the cares and worries of a life of poor? his father’s estate showed a total of about $16,000, 000. Mr. Fair had given his wife a very con- siderable sum of money, and she had been generous to her mother and her brothers and sisters. She had bought a home for the former and made sure that she was comfortable. Her relatives thought that Mrs. Fair had done all that could be ex- pected of her. The fact that her husband was a millionaire didn’t mean very much to them. They still had to work hard for their dally bread and expected to as long as they lived. They are not a sentimental folk. In the natural order of things Mrs. Fair would outlive her mother and her own brothers and sisters, she being the young- est: 4t would have been worse than foolish in their philogophy to count upon any of the Fair oo coming to New Jersey in their lifetime. Possibly in the years to come their ch n might receive a part of the moneys Then came theiaccident in France when both Mr. ahd Mrs. Fair were thrown from their automobile and instantly killed. Her mother and her brothers and sisters were shocked and dazed. Grief for the woman whose name had not been mentioned among them for years until her marriage to Fair and the evidences of her blood affection made them grateful, were blended curiously with the prospect of fresh wealth. The question was immediately raised as to who would inherit the millions of Mr. Fair. It was true that he had made a will in his wife’s favor, but she had been killed at the same time that he was. Law- yers began to make careful researches, The statutes were not harmonious, al- though, in the main, it s@emed to be the presumption that if husband and wife were killed in the same accident the man survived the woman ‘by a very brief in- terval because oi his greater vitality.

The Smiths and the Nelsons—Mrs. Fafr’s mother was married twice, the sec- ond time to @ man named Nelson—were reasonably rich, no matter what happened, and great was the stir in the little New Jersey towns of Newmarket, Caldwell and Union, where they live. : Speedily it bé@ame apparent that the Fair family was weary of litigation over ih- heritances, The sisters of Charles L. Fair and their husbands were willing to make a settlement and the Smiths and the Nel- sons were glad to escape a long lawsuit. It was said at the time that the Fairs settled with the relatives of Mrs. Fair for $1,000,000, but the amount was somewhat less than that, although there were some provisions which may greatly increase it later, The New Jersey heirs hope that the share of Mrs. Fair’s mother will: ap- proximate $1,000,000, and that the brothers and sisters will get $60,000 each. . Mrs. Charles L. Fair remembered the long hours of toil and the small pay she received when she worked in a mill in Plainfield, N. J., and she was determined SWAY? NZLSON. ARS. FAIRS HALP BROTUER, that others of Ler family should not work as she did if she could ease their way for them. She had abounding faith in the hard com- mon sense and judgment of her relatives, so she did not seek in her will to tie up her money in any way. The bulk of it was left to her mother. The amount that Mrs: Hannah Elizabeth Nelson has r@ggeived is about $600,000, and each brother and sister has received 830,000. . If Mvs, Fair’s family had plunged into ex- travagance and rictous display it would not séern unnatural to those who do not know the Smiths and the Nelsons. The swarm of shafps with investment schemes and all manner of tricks to catch those who have been raised suddenly into wealth descended upon Newmarket. The sharks departed wiser and sadder than they came. They found a hard-headed family that would not listen to their schemes. Houses and lots appealed to Mrs. Fair’s heirs more than gold bricks, ard bonds and mortgages were more enticing than stock in mining companies or any company that promised 100 per cent. To Mrs. Nelgon the fortune which she has inherited earns little in the way of pearsonal luxury. She is 72 years old. She cannot adjust her living nor her ideas to luxury, for she has lived by toil and struggle, and if she were to depart from her simple ways she would be unhappy. The chief delight she extracts from her wealth is the knowledge that she can leave it to her children. Her first act upon getting possession of her half million was to make a wilt divid- ing the money equally among her children and those of Mrs. Sarah Leffler, who is dead. Then, with the aid of the officers of the Montclair Savings Bank, ashe set about making safe investments. She wants to see the principal increase to at least three-quarters. of a million before che dies. Thus far Mrs. Nelson nas shown no great interest in charities. She did promise to give the Baptist Church in Newmarket $100 providing enough money was raised to pay off the mortgage; but beyond that she has-confined her ventures strictly to busi- ness. ) She makes her home in Newmarket with : PARIS, Nov. 2.

Each Goihg His Way and Relying Upon _ His Own Wits, They Afford Striking II- lustrations of Family Resourcefulness. vocations. ITHIN the business circle of St. Louis are several sets of brothers, if so they may be called, who are noted for their success in their various brothers that when the family name is mentioned their business associates are always obliged to ask for a bill of purticulars to know which one of the set is referred to. Of course there are in every city brothers who are associated in business who have made such success that they are among the foremost men in town; and what is true in other cities is true in St. Louis. ‘Thére are probably a score of firms com- posed of brothers that rank cach at the head in their respective business; but cases ate not numerous where two or more brothers have started out alone either in the same or different fields and each achieved such great success that it is al- ways necessary to mention the Christian name to distinguish their business. HERE are in St. Louis today a half + dozen or more sets of brothers, each , of whom is of such prominence that if only the family name is mentioned no one is able to determine whict trother is referred to. -. For example, suppose some one were to speak in your hearing of Brown, the shoe manufacturer. Which one of the Brown brothers would you thisk he meant? Sup- pose some one told you that he was going to gee Mr. Baumhoff about a political joh, which brother weuld you think he was go- ing to see. And still there is no firm of Baumhofft Brothers. LANSON D. BROWN and George Warren Brown are striking types of brothers who have become suc- cessful independently of each other. The case of these brothers is unique in that they have both become millionaires while conducting rival shoe manufacturing eon- cerns in St. Louis. Alanson’ D. Brown is president of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co. be the largest institution of its kind in the world. ; George Warren Brown is president of the Brown Shoe Co., an important St. Louts manufacturing concern. Alanson D. Brown is six years older than George Warren Brown. The former is 55 and the latter 49 years oid. Both were born in Granville, Washington County, N. Y. A. D. Brown spent his boyhood on a farm and‘at 17 went to Rutland, Vt., where he .took a course in a commercial col- lege. Two years later he went with an uncle to Columbus, Miss., where he served his relative as a clerk for three year». Then he was made a partner and ‘wo vears later sold his interest in the partner- ship for $13,000. Com.ng to St. Louis with the money, when 2% years old, Mr. Brown formed a partnership with J. M. Hamilton. Their business was successful from the start and from this start grew the gigantic ‘house of Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co. to to- cay. : George Warren Brown was brought up on the same farm as his older brother and todk a business course at Troy, N. Y. At the age of 20 he came to St. Louls and took a position with Hamilton & Brown. A year later he became a traveling sales- mati and four years thereafter resigned to g0 Into business for himself. ’ He, too, prospered in his néw venture and in 1878 formed a partnership with A. L. Bryan and J. B. Desnoyers. In 1881 the firm was incorporated as the Bryan-Brown Shee Co. In the intervening years both Mesers. Bryan and Desnoyers retired and ’ the name was changed to the Browr Shoe Co. For many years A. D. Brown has been the head and controlling spirit of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co. There has never been any talk of consolidating these two concerns and the brothers seem to be con- tent to remain business rivals for the re- mainder of their commercial careers. A. D. Brown lives in a magnificent home at 4616 Lindell boulevard and George War- ren Brown hes a palatial residence in Portiand place. -_. de 6 HE careers of Postmaster Frederick W. Baumhoff and his brother, George W. Baumhoff are illustrative of the possibiifities for poor boys in St. Louis. Both began to work when about 12 or 14 years of age. They hed no money and little education. But they successfully bat- tied against the world and its difficulties. Now Frederick W. Baumbhoff has the most lucrative end one of the most impor- tant federal positions in St. Louis, while his brother, two years his senior, has re- tired from the head of the great St. Louis street railway syndicate wealthy enough to embark in the business of building street car systems. s George W. Baumhoff was for many years the more prominent of the brothers, but recently he has retired to a business that ees not bring him very frequently before the public eye while his brother's office for the past three years has kept him promi- nently before the public. &. Loulsans are familiar with the story of George W. Bevumhofl's remarkable rise; how he went to work for the Lindell Rail- way Co. w% a hosties and through the positions of car driver and night watch- man became a clerk and then secretary and finally general mafiager of the com- pany, stepping from that position to be- come the operative heed of the great 8t. Louts Transit Co. on its formation. Téke his brother, the postmaster begar humbly, learning the machinist trade prior to 141 when he took a position in the post- office.

He managed his campaign for the place with vigor and cleverness. Mr. BRaumhoff was appointed postmaster July 3, 189s. Oo BSSRs. William A., Russell E. and Frederick D.

Gardner arrived in St. Louis when quite young, and almost immediate- ly became associated with Mr. Cobb. Sev eral years ago he was taken into partner- stip. He is now wealthy and prominent on change. He is married and resides at 4122 Maryland avenue. Russell Gardner is possibly the best known of the three brothers. He is noted throughout the country as the man who made a quarter of a million dollars in 15 years and then announced that he intend- cod to quit working and enjoy his money. He started to manufacture spokes and buggy material at Union City, Tenn., on a capital of $2200 borrowed, he says, from an indulgent relative. He continued in that business and at that place until 1891, when with a cash capital of $32,000 that he aeccu- mulated he unfurled the flag of the Banner Buggy Co at Columbus, O. Five years later he removed the plant to St. Louis. Since that time it has paid its only stock- holder over $200,000. In January, 1901, Mr. Gardner announced that he intended to cease toiling and en- deavoring to increase his business.

We knowed he couldn't have no sense, but seein’ there wasn’t but one of him we'd an ijee he might add to the j’ys of the fo’c’sle by doin’ odd jobs for the rest of us,and we was giad he come. ‘"The fact is, sir, our goin’ on board the Newton was one of them occasions where every prospect pleases, but there was times arter that whon I wished I hadn't. been so brash about signin’ on, and they be to come right_along as soon as ever I gets on board. Why, sir, the moment I gets my head above the rail, I see the beginnin’s of trouble, for she'd a deck load of buoys, sir. ‘ Yes, sir, she’d bell buoys and the gruntin’ kind what's called. whistlers ‘cause they whistles, while on one 'em. was a combination of both kinds, sir—a whalin’ big thing with a whistle and a bell, too, a- top of it. “Tf you've had the advantages of a sea addication, sir, you'll understand about them ‘ere buoys, an the bothera- ticn they was tous. when workin’ about decks.

From the time we histed the jib till we'd stretched the bolt- ropes of the mizzen riyal, we was stumblin’ over buoys and lashin’s. And when we'd got.to sea and was nosin’ our way across the Gulf Stream in the midst of one of them no’'th- easters what the weather sharps calls cyclones, I ste that the benevolertest thing I could do’for all hands was to jetison them buoys. ° “This ‘ere benevolent ijee of mine was strengthened, I may say, by’a consideration of the lashin’s of the buoys, which they made fast as if it were the intention . to have ‘em cast loose on a sudden’ emergency like’ the one what"! was contermplatin’,’ So havin’ ‘the mid-watch that night, which it were the night. of the before. the Fourth, I sorter pervaded te lee rafl, where I cut all adrift as well as I could and~ then I perambBulated up to. wind’ard, where ] pa aA notice that: a nine-inch harser was the main dependence of the whole raft of buoys.

Now if so be that man as done it'll step out and admit he done it, well and good. Or if so be the others as is knowin’ of the circumstances’ll tell who done it, well and good. But if so be I dgn't learn who done. it, then there's goin’ to be trouble.’ ‘“‘With that, sir, he brings us the articles and reads ‘em » where they says we ‘be to Have the shore wittles an ‘grog on the glorious Fourth, but allus pervidin’- we done duty a8 was fittin’ and proper. ‘*There you has it,’ ‘And onless:you gives up that.'ere scoundrel‘you don’t get NO grog.nor nothin’: but yer reg’liar whack weighed out to you.’ “Well, sir, maybe you won't: believe there’s such ongrate- fulness in the world-you won't onless you be to: have had experience, that’s for sartin—but that .’ere: Dago, in spite of all the trouble I’d-been to for:to explain my benevo- lence to him, he up and tells the old man he seen me throw off the harser, and I was that flabbergasted to hear him I couldn't tel seven belis from a thosun’s whistle.

He tried to think of a number of things that had nothing whatever = to do with Nora, but somehow she invariably elbowed into his thought. He leaned over and opened his box—not the strong-box, but the wooden, — trunk-like box that holds the messenger’s street coat when he’s on duty | and his jumper when he's off. On the under side of the lifted lid he had | fixed a large panel picture of Nora O'Neal. ’ Buckingham, peeping over a piano box behind which he had hidden ae Gurnison, saw and recognized the photograph, for the messenger’s white . light stood on the little safe near the picture.

But the best of the bunch was La Veta, and the presiding genius was Nora O'Neal, the lady manager. Many a R. & W. excursionist reading this story will recall her emile, her great gray eyes, her heaps of dark brown hair and the mountain trout that her tables held. % It will be remembered that at that time th? main line of the Rio Grande lay by the banks of the Gunnison, through the Black Canyon, over Cerro Summit and down the Uncompahgre and the Grande to Grand Junction, at the gate of the Utah Desert. John Cassidy was an express messenger whose run was over this route, and whose heart and its secret was in the keeping of Nora O'Neal. From day to day, from week to week, he had waited her answer, which was to come to him “by Christmas.” And now, as only two days remained, he dreaded it, as he had hoped and prayed for it since the aspen Jeaves began to gather their gold. He knew by the troubied look she wofe when off her guard that Nora was thinking. Most of the men who were gunning in Gunnison in the early '80s were fearlees men, who, when a difference of opinion arose, faced each other and fought it out; but there had come to live at La Veta a thin, quiet, hand- seme fellow, who moved mysteriously in and out of the camp, slept a lot by Gay and showed a fondness for farv by night. When a name was needed he signed “Buckingham.’’ His icy hand was soft aud white, and his clothes fitted him faultlessly. He was handsome, and when he paid his bill-at the end of the fourth week he proposed to Nora O'Neal. He was so fairer, and no darker, morally, that Nora could not make at all. In the time, bétween sunset and gaslight, on the afternoon of the last day but one before Christmas, Buck, as he came to be called, leaned a folded bit of white paper in Nora’s hand, ‘Put this powder in Cassidy's cup.” ehadow office counter and put as he cloecd her fingers over it. z Doe as u edneiakiiint for Nora’s heart and sing hand he prized, however, = as he would a bobtailed flush, but no more. | might. ) otherwise—well, As for Cassidy, he would be giad, waking, to find himself alive, and if |} this plan miscarried Buck should be .able to midewtep the gallows. Anyway, dope wa" preferable to death. Nora opened her hand, and “in utter amazement looked at -the paper. Some one ihterrupted them, Buck tugned away and Nora shoved the powder down deep“into” her jacket pocket, feeling vaguely guilty. No. 7, the Salt Like Limited, was an hour fate that night. The venue dinner (we called it supper then) was over when Shanley whistled in. As the headlight of the Rockaway engine gleamed along the hotel win- dows Nora went back to see that everything was: ready. {In the narrow passage between the kitchen and the dining-room she met Buckingham, ‘‘What are you doing here?’ she demanded. “Now, my beauty,” said Buck, laying a cold hand on her arm, excited.”’ Bhe turned her honest, eyes to him and he almost visibly shrunk from them as she had shuddered at the strange, cold touch of his hand. .“Put that powder in Cassidy's cup,”’ he said, and in the half light of the little hallway she saw his crue! smile. “And | kill Cassidy, the best friend I have on earth?’ “It will hot kill him, but it may save his life. “don't be I shall be in his car to- Babe? Do as I tell you. He will only fall asieep for a little while, he may oversleep himeelf.’’ She would have passed on, but he stayed her. “Where is ft?” he demanded, with a meaning glance. . She touched her jacket pocket and he released his hold on her arm. The shuffie and scuffie of the feet of hungry travelers who were piling | #mto the dining-room had disturbed them. Nora paseed on to the rear, Buck i 5 gut to sit down and dine with te paseengers, who always had a shade the best of the bill. . From his favorite seat, facing the audience, he watched the trainmen tumbling into the alcove off the west wing, in one corner of which a couple of Pullman porters in blue and gold sat at a small table, feeding with their forks, and behaving better than some of their white comrades of the rail behaved. 3 Cussidy came in a moment later, sat down and looked over to see if his rival was in his accustomed place. The big messenger looked steadily at the ether man, who had never guessed the messenger's secret, and the other man * looked down. Already his supper, steaming hot, stood before him, while the table girl 5 anced attendance for the tip she Was always eure of at the finish.

MCLURE. Of the Missouri Botanical Garden. the Orient in prehistoric times. The éarliest Chinese refet- ence made to it was that of Confucius 400 B. Cc. But the authority of this reference is questioned. If it could be proven there would be reason to believe that the chrys- anfhemum was cultivated at a much more remose perlod, because the flower iaust have been fairly well developed before it could have attracted the attention of so great a worker as Confuctus. The atten- tion of the Japanese was probably not centered on the chrysanthemum until a much later pericd.- Japanese interest in the flower can be traced to the latter part of the twelfth century, when the crest and arms of the Mikado were decmated with it. As it would be unreasonable to suppose that those arms were decorated with the almost insignificant original chrysanthe- mum it must be concluded that the pat- tern was taken from a flower of consider- able beauty, and thereby is established the belief that the?chrysanthemum must have received the intolligent attention of ths Japanese at an earlier date. The lack of definite knowledge in regard to the early history and origin of the chrysanthemum has occasioned a great Geal of controversy. Since its introduction into Europe over two centuries ago, the chrysanthemum has received considerable attention regarding its nomenclature. In the year 14688 Brey- nius, a merchant of Dantzig, while writing on the rare plants, observed in the cele- brated gardens of Holland, described the chrysanthemum as Matnicaria Japonica Maxima, rofering to the large flowered va- wiety,. and recorded several varieties, em- bracing several shades of color. No par- ticular attention seerms to have been given these plants, as they were lost, and no further record of their existence can be found. In the latter part of the seventeenth and In the early part of the eighteenth cen- turies tho small flowered or unimproved ghryganthemume, were described by vari- ous botanists, but their descriptions were from dried specimens collected in foreign countries. Not until 1764,is there any rec- ord of the culture of the small flowered variety in Burope. At that time it was rowing in the Apothecaries’ Garden at eleea, England, under the name of ‘‘Ma- tricarian Indica.” ‘This, also, was lost, but a herbarium specimen of the same is stil preserved In the British Museum. The large flowered variety, desarfbed by Breynius, wae reintroduged into Europe and sent from China to France in 1779 by a merchant of Marseilles. Shortly after it was sent to the Royal Gardens at London, Engiand. This was its first appearance in Pngiand. New varieties weré constantly being in- troduced from China, until in the early rt of the nineteenth century a large col- tion was to be found in Europe.

Up to this time the varieties known to Europeans were the Chinese style, having globular, symmetrical flowers. In 1862 the first “Japanese chrysanthe- mums arrived in England. They were hailed with delight by all. However, after these novelties were generally known interest in them began to fade. The English people, being accustomed to the spherical flowers of the Chinese varieties, would not be rec- onciled to the less formal appearance of the Japanese type. On the other hand the French people disliked the formal Chinese type and preferred the more graceful Japanese forms. The development of the chrysanthemum in Europe is almost entirely due to the interest taken by the Bnglish people in the Oriental flower. As early ‘as ‘_ 1836 chrysanthemum exhibitions were held ‘in the chief cities. Now these exhibitions are held in almost every town. While such great progress was being made in Englant ‘n producing new chrysanthe- mums the American floriculturists ‘were busy along the same lines. [It is not known just when the chrysanthemum was introduced into this country. It was introduced into Europe at a time when po- litical affairs in Amerioa were of a grave nature and matters of greater import than floriculture occupied the public mind. It is supposed that the chrysanthemum was introduced into America about 1810, but this is'merely conjecture. No particular attention was paid to the development of the flower until 1880, when Dr. Walcott originated several new forms and exhibit- ed g¢hem at the exhibition of the Massachu- setts Horticultural ciety. Very little interest was taken in them, however, and not until 1890 did the American people be- come deaply interested in the now pop- ular flowers. From the small beginnings of Dr. Wal- cott in 1880 we now stand first in the pro- duction of new chrysanthemums. So suc- cessful have American hybridists been that the American varieties have been sent all over the world and even into the land of the chrysanthemum itself. Some of the new productions have sold as high as $1600 for the original stock. While it is impossible to classify the va- rious kinds of chrysanthemums, yet seév- eral types are fairly well defined. The Chinese, with incurving petals and glob- viar flowers; the Japanese, with loose, re- flexing petals, often pendulous and sev- eral inches long; the anemone, with two kinds of petals, the ray and the disk, like the common sunflower; the pompon, or ultra Chinese type, with small round blooms, and the single forms which are sometimes seen growing in our gardens at this season of the year. The chrysanthemum belongs to the great natural order or family of plants called “composita,” to which the asters, daisies and sunflowers belong. The family is so named from the fact that each bloom is not one, but sn aggregation of flowers clustered on a single receptacle. In the single chrysanthemums are found two kinds of these flowers, which ere some- times called florets or petals, the showy infinitely better than those imported one arranged on the outside, which are called the ray flowers, and the short yellow ones found in the center forming the eye, called the disc flowers. The original chryeantfieomum had yellow ray flowers, or petals, with disc flowers of the same color. The whole head or bloom was not over one-half inch in di- ameter. The largest chrysanthemums of the present day, measured across the bloom from petal tip to petal tip, have been known to be 19% inches, which shows the marvelous development. The original chrysanthemum was a low- growing plant, about 18 inches high. The chrysanthemums of today range from 4 to 8 feet in height, which is commensurate /. with the size of the blooms. Not only has the chrywanthemum in- creased in size, but in vartety. Instead of the regular petals of the older type there is great diversity in shape and style from the very short to the extremely long and pendulous, the straight and*the twisted, the narrow and the broad, some of the petals heing no thicker than cvarse thread, while others are over an inch %@ wffth. The most curious group is that which has its’ petals covered with hairs, the hirsuite type, The diversity in color is equally marked from the prevailing yellow to a deep biack- ish red. There is also every conceivable shade of pink or purple. Thousands of chrysanthemums are originated annually. The National Chrysanthemum Soclety of England has over 3000 varieties on its list, and the difficulty is how to restrict the number of good varieties. With this marvelous development the question naturally suggests itself: When shall the chrysanthemum reach its highest development? What shall the outcome be? This has been the subiect of a great deal of speculation in the last few years. Look- ing intelligently into the matter one very soon comes to the conclusion thag the end has almost been reached, and that in the future there may be very little improve- ment in size. There may be produced a greater variety and richer shades of color, but there is serious doubt that the eize will be increased. There are various reasons for holding this view, chief among which is that while the chrysanthemum hag re- ceived its gireatest development during tha past 8) years, yet es late afi40 years ago the end was almost reached, when the Japanese produced a variety, which, when raised under modern conditions has ‘pro- duced blooms 12 inches across. This heing true, the credit,of developing the chrysan- themum belongs, pot to the English nor to the Americans, bHut to those to whom it was originally ascribed, the Japanese. ANSWERS TO HEALTH AND BEAUTY QUESTIONS. By HARRIET HUBBARD AYER. * Salycilic Acid for Warts. W.—Yes, salicylic acid is used to re- E move warts, but in your case I ad- e vise you not to attempt home treat- ment. If you have a skin trouble, you should have expert advice, which can only be given after examination. Castor oll is perfectly harmless and will gometimes destroy warts. You miggt try thia remedy, but do not think of using any acid except by the advice of a skin special- ist who has made a careful study of your trouble. To apply castor oil smear a bit of absorb- ent cotton with the oil and lay it on the wart for a few moments three or four times a day. Let the oil absorb. Do not wash it away. Remedy for Wind Burn. DISCOURAGED ONE.—Where the skin is eo sensitive a great relief is obtained by npplying cold cream to the face before go- ing out. Dip a soft bit of old linen into a good cold cream and smear over the face. Wipe it off with another soft cloth and dust on a little powder. The cream serves to prevent the exhaustion of the ojl from the ducts, which ts caused by the wind and creates what ts called ‘‘wind burn.”’ COLD CREAM.—Pure wax, 1 ounce; sper- maceti, 2 ounces; almond oil, 4% pint. Melt then add: Glycerine, 3 ounces; attar of roses, 12 drops. Still till nearly cold, then let the mixture settle. This is the basis of most of the toliet unguents so largely sold. Any kind of perfume can be added to give an agree- able odor. CUCUMBER CREAM.—Vaseline, 10 ounces; lanoline anhydrous, 5 ounces: tinc- ture of benzoin, 1 ounce; cucumber juice, freshly expreased and strained throgh ab- sorbent cotton, 10 ounces. Mix the vaseline and lanolina, incorporate the tincture and lastly the juice. To Remove Obstinate Sunburn. CONSTANT READER,.—Try this remedy a jack sunburn and use the eyebrow and eye- — ‘for the falling eyebrows and general health. When the “tyebrows and eyelashes fall, it is an outward sign of an inward disturbance. Lemon and Glycerine Lotion—Citric acid ematang 3. drams; hot water, 11 ounces; borax, 2 drarms; red rose petals, 1 ounce; atwecrtedd 1 ounce. Disrolve the acid and borax in the water; infuse the petals for an hour; strain through a jelly bag after 24 hours, decant the clear portion and” add the glycerine. Apply as often as agreeable. Eyebrow and Evelash Grower—Cologne, 2% ounces; glycerine, 14 ounces; fluid ex- tract of jaborandi, 2 drama. Agitate ingredients till thoroughly incor- porated. Apply to the eyebrows with the brush, and to the lashes with a tiny cam- el’s hair paint brush. The brush must be freed from any drop and passed lightly along the edge of the eyelids, exercising ex- tremine care that no minute portion of the lotion touches the eye itself. Receipt for Face Bleach. CONSTANT READER.—Dr, Shoemaker’s face bieach is an excellent one. Bichloride of meroury in coarse powder, 8 grains; with hazel, 2 ounces. Agitate tin- til a solution is obtained. Mop over the affected parts. Keep out of the way of ignorant persons and children. I give you a remedy for moth patches, but frequently these blemishes are only to be removed by an operation. Lanolin, 2 grams; vaseline, ™ grams; peroxide of hydrogen, 10 grams. Mix. Ap- Py at night. Wash off in the morning. Keep away from the hair and eyebrows. Concerning an Advertised Treatment. G. W.-—I canno recommend tht treatment to which you refer. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of worthless processes ad- vertised. It would be quite impossible for me to keep abreast of them, but the one you ask about I have tested. To Reduce the Size of the Lips. MANY WRITERS.—I give you an astrin- gent remedy for reducing the size of the lipa, but I muet frankly sey I do not think - will be of any great use unless you make a strong mental effort in the dircetion of drawing the lipe in, or, in other words, them. then strain through cheesecloth. eof tl em ene on suena size the defect by a looseness of the mus- cles abont the mouth. You will find by practice that you can decrease the apparent size of your lips by contracting the circular mouth muscles. . Here is an astringent po- made for reducing thick lips: Melt an cunce of any of the cold creams, add one grain of pulverized tannin and alkanet chips; let macerate for five heurs, Apply to the lips when necessary. Treatment for Bleached Hair. t J. B.—There is no reason why you should not use a hair tonic, even if you have been foolish enough to bleach your hair. Some of the tonics will make the hair appear very. much darker. You would hetter se- lect a tunic without oil. Here is a formula for falling hair: Cologne, 8 ounces; tincture of canthar- ides, 1 ounce; oll of Engtish lavender, of] of rosemary, half dram each. Apply to the roots of the hair once or twice a day. It 4s positively necessary that the scalp should be kept clean. Sham- poo at least once a week. To Remove Scars. N. G.—You can have the scars removed by a surgical operation. Do not think of employing a satin to darken your face. You would have to use a theatrical liquid or paint for that pur- pose, and it would be very plainly percepti- ble and be an intolerable nuisance. A cup of hot water is far better for you to take In the morning than cold water. If you wish further information concerning the removal of the scar to which you re- fer, write me again, giving me your ad- dress. A Rapid Mustache Grower. G. N.—This is the formula you ak for: Red vaseline, 2 ounces; tincture canthar- ides, one-half ounce; oll of lavender, oll of rosemary, 15 drops each. Apply to the roots of the mustache at night. Let it remain until the following morning, when it may be washed away ES that she can defy the results of the altogether too strenuous life of our period without reaping as she soweth. Fatigue has been likened to a poison by Mosso, a great Italian physiologist, and rest is the only known antidote for the poison that destroys the beauty of woman- kind. But when one suggests resting to the nervous, tense woman who complains that she is getting so old and looks haggard and world-worn before she has reached her prime, you are generally speaking face to face with a person who has forgotten how to rest. I say forgotten advisedly, for we all knew how to rest when we were babies, and. were free both bodily and mentally from the habits of physical un- rest and hurried brains that exhaust our energies and wreck our looks. Rest is the life-saving station for wom- an’s beauty as well as for her health and happiness. A healthy child is the example for us all to follow when we need rest. | The baby when it is fatigued seeks rest and recuperation fin complete repose. Every muscle is released, every breath performs its mnhythmic function of elimi- nating waste and supplying force and strength. Sleep, as we all know, is nature’s most beneficent medicine. In healthy adults ‘when sleep comes naturally it is an in- tense expression of weariness of the brain cells, Mental fatigue is always closely followed by bodily fatigue. As long as a woman can, and does, get eight or nine hours at a stretch of natural sleep she is in no danger of losing her go00d looks. Of course, I mean by natural sleep that delicious oblivion which has nothing what- soever to do with drugs or sleeping medi- cines. Nothing will destroy phygical beau- ty so completely, so irretrievably, as nar- cotics. But that is another story. But besides sleep, we women require to mentally discipline ourselves with a ca- pacity for resting during waking hours. No woman can look other than driven and worried if she pursues life, no matter what her circumstances may be, on the dead run. The woman on a perpetual nervous strain may desire with all her heart to rest, but until she learns how she cannot relax, she cannot let go of, either her nerves or her muscles. The other day I went into the office of a well-known and very successful business woman. It was the noon hour, and being persona Tne is no woman so constituted PAN ee Harriet a ae Ayer Shows Women How They May Get the Most and the Least Good From Sleeping. grata, without waiting to be announced, I walked into my friend’s office and, to my amusement, I found her walking up and down her sanctum balancing the office waste-paper basket on her head instead of the water jug of the woman of the Old Testament. In reply to my exclamation of amused surprise, my friend sald: “Oh, I'm just doing some little breath- ing and equilibrium ‘stunts.’ **You see, I have an enormous day’s work ahead of: me. I shall have to remain here until the wee sma’ hours, and I have dis- covered that five minutes devoted to getting ~ my body into harmony and five minutes ab- solute brain rest will \give me a large sup- ply of renewed energy and life, so I re- ligiously take ten minutes out of my hour at noon almost every day for rest and poise. “T can rest,’ continued my friend, “more completely sitting’ in my office chair than many women do in bed. “See, I used to try to solve maddening problems like this—that is, I thought I was trying to think things out by twisting myself into this shape and snarling up my brows while I put the screws on to my nerves and drew on my already expansive brain cells. “Lots of women think they are resting when they lie in bed with legs drawn up, arms strained and heads in a perfectly ridiculous, almost upright position. “Now I have learned to relax—to let go, mentally as well as physically. I can sit five minutes in my office cnair with every muscle relaxed, and during that five .min- utes I am not asleep; I can’t just explain my condition, but I really do stop think- ing. “My mind dismisses or puts aside al! positive thought and I fall into a condition of dreaminess, during which I enjoy a complete mental rest, and during that brief absence from the friction of active life I gain more mental refreshment as well as muscular recuperation than any one who has not learned the value of rest can understand.” Now, every word my friend said is true. The woman who hab’ learned how to relax mind and body has learned how to con- stantly supply the nervous and physical waste going on in every life. Relaxing means literally loosening—let- ting up. It isn’t easy to learn how to let go when one has spent a lifetime ‘“‘hoid- ing on,”’ but there is no better advice to give the women of the twentieth century than to urge them, if for no higher motive than the eternally feminine one, ‘‘the de- sire to look pretty,’’ to learn the power of repose.

The other boat scttlements extend from the foot of Osage street south a mile. There the shantyboatmen live, with their wives and babies. ulation is from 400 te 500.

It is bad form, in Shantydom, to “jump” another man’s mooring place, and a “stake jumper,” like his brother pirate, the “claim jumper,” may have to fight to maintain his hold. TT" shantytoat folk are a restless peo- ple. A rope is the tle which binds them to land, a knife can sever that, and when the eager current seiges the boat it's ‘“‘Ho, for Dixte.”’ Those who dwell by the -iver see many of these migrations these days. The parting call, ay-yaa of the shantyboat man is as familiar as the honk-honk-ah-honk of the wild goore. Man and bird are starting on their long float, One on blue water, the Other in blue alr, from northern frost to southern cunshine. Birds of passage, in their annual transition they will follow the same pnth, the trail blazed by the Missis- sippi, a silver thread, on which, like many manikins, goose and shantyboatmen slide north or south as the scagon dictates. Ein route they each live off of the river its banks, finding end taking their food where they may. Regretable, indeed, that whittle the bird feeds tn the water, ofttimes Noah, it is said, wae the first shanty- }beatman, but the tribe has multiplied since his day. The Mississippi and Missouri riv- efs were especially created to encourage ‘the gentle art of shantyboating.

Louis. The typical shantyboatman is a citizen who prefers the freedom of the river to the confinement of the house dweller. Like his companion, the turtle, he carries his house with him wherever he goes. He calis the craft his boat. Ghantyboat say the landsmen. The boat may be a simple hut, not much larger than a St. Bernard kennel, or it may be a four or five hoom cottage, weath- erboarded without and papered within. But all are alike in respect to foundation, which is a simple float with a length twice its beam, and flat-bottomed. Each end is cut at an angle and the top of the float genorally projects two or more feet above the water. *The float ie strong and buoyant. On it the shantyboatman builds his house. He leaVes @ Space of several feet, at cach end of the fioat clear for deck room and a narrow run- way at each side so he may pass from one end to the other without going through the houss. . The construction of the house is limited by the financial ability of the owner. Likewise its furnishings. A poor shantyb°atman will have a house about 1 feet In length, § feet wide and 6 feet high. It will be butit of pine boards and papered inside with tar paper. He will furnish it with a bunk, cook stove, a few household utensils and a trunk—always a trunk.

T last it was the very night before A Christmas. The Twins had long ago sent their letters to Santa Claus away off in his home in Lapland. What a lot of work there must be for the kind old ‘fellow about Christmas time, not only in preparing gifts, but in selecting just the right gift for each little boy and girl in all the great world. Old Santa is careful neyer to bring ® pair of skates to a boy in southern Cali- tornia or-New. Orieans, where there is no ice, and he does not provide a pony for Hie” boy in St. Paul who would get his ' @ny extra trouble on my account.” Morning. ears Sadly nipped by the frost if he went out for a morning ride. The Twins had sent long letters, for there was almost nothing they did not want for Christmas. The black-eyed twin had the longer list, and he threatened to do dread- ful things ‘to ‘Banta Claus if he failed to get everything he asked for. The bilue- eyed Twin had only said—‘‘Dear Santa, you may bring me any of these things that you have on hand, and please don’t gake That is the kind of letters Santa likes to get. The Twins were as different as twins could possibly be. One was always happy and good-natured; the other was always cross and selfish. If the mother asked the Good Twin to do anything, he immediate- ly replied—‘‘Yes, mamma, dear’; but his brother would whine and frown when he had a duty to perform, and«‘would ask why mamma could not do it herself. If he was told to wagh his face he would grumble, saying, “I ,washed it yester‘ay. Do I have to wash it every day?’ Along about Christmas time the brownies watch very closely and listen to everythi the children say, and then they report to ta Claus, who keeps account of the doings of. each boy and girl the whole year round. These big-eared. elves are in every 100k &nd corner, and not a saucy word nor a disobedient act escapes their notice; for olf Santa does not: like to prepare gifts for naughty children. , ‘Twins were good friends. ING-=By Florence M. Laflin, It took séveral brownies to keep track of all ® naughty things the Bad Twin did, while his brother: needed almost no watching at all. If the Good Twin did say or do anything that he knew was not right he was sorry for it in a moment, and would go at once and tell his mamma so. Right after tea, on Christmas eve, the Twins began to prepare for the coming of Santa. They fastened a strong string across the front of the mantel, just above the open grate. At each end they hung one of mamma's long stockings, and between them there was a whole row, of little stockings for smaller gifts. In tH® very middle were the bahy brother's tiny stockings; but the Bad Twin said there would be ncthing in them, becguss the baby had’nt any sense, and could not write a letter. Prince, the jet black horse, and the Every cay they gave him a lump of sugar, and in return he let them have as much of his nice, sweet hay as they wanted. This they put out close to the gate, so that the reindeer could eat and eat, and not grow impatient if Santa Claus remained in the house a long time. At the first peep of morning the Twins were awake and out of bed. Every stocking was filled to the very “op, even the baby’s stocking, but the Twins had ne time to ex- amine these. The Good Twin drew from one of his own stockings a fine brass horn that sang out a clear, sweet “Merry Christ- mas’ when he blew it. ‘ing the horn aside, he found a set of dtawing pencils, a pair of beautitul silver cuff buttons, some pretty silk tiés and a knife with four blades. In the leng stocking at the end cf the mantel he found candy, nuts and or- anges. FE-verything was there that he had asked for. Meanwhile the Bad Twin was eagerly hunting for his presents. In the top of one of his stockings there was a queer, square box. He had not asked for anything that would come in a wooden box, and he opened it hastily. As he did so an ugly “Jack in the Box” popped out, strik- ing him a hard blow squarely in the left eye. The Bad Twin threw the box on the floor, crying with pain; but in a moment he went on with his search. In the same stocking there was a round present all done up in bright red paper. The boy blinked his sore eye and tried to keep back the tears as he tore off the paper. To his surprise he found that under the red wrapper there was a blue one. When he had torn this off he found a pink paper. Under this there was 4 yel- low one, and when he had removed the yellow one he foun@—a piece of coal! With a cry of disappointment the Bad Twin threw the coal into the grate and took down the other stocking. In the top of this he found an oblong box, and as he turned it over he accidentally touched a strong spring, and out flew another “Jack in the Box.” This one came out at the side of the box and struck him in the right eye. Then the Bad Twin sat.down on the floor and cried and scvsatale with rage. His eyes were blinking and smarting s° that he could not see the lovely presents his brother was finding. As soon as his eye began to feel a little bit better he went on with his search for Christmas gifts. Slipping his hand into the stocking he discovered that the foot was filled with ashes, and imbedded in them was some- thing that was coiled up tight. Dreading another blow from another sort of “Jack in the Box” he took it out carefully. It proved to be a keen little whip, and on 4& card tied to it were the words, “When he is bad I am his best friend. If I am used wigely, by next Christmas there will be two good twins.” ul StL. than ever; But he etill hoped to find gifts he haé asked for, as he a pair of skates sticking out of stocking et the end of the man presents, when, to bis astonishment, flew up in the afr. Then he noticed that it was attached to a string that ran up to the ceiling. When he went into the middle of the room to look at this string the stocking came siow- ly down, but ag soon as he made a grad at it up it flew, away out of his reach. Half a dosen times he tried to capture the stocking, but each time it got away from him. At last he was so angry that he ran into the next room to tell his mother how badly Santa Claus had used him. The mother did not scold, but oniy talked to her naughty boy quite seriously, pointing out to him the difference between right and wrong, and showing him that what he had gotten was only what he deserved. “And will I always be treated so if | am bad" he asked. “Yes, and much worse than that,” his mother answered. “When you grow to be a man the world will treat you as you treat it.” “Then 1 think it pays to be good,” the Bad Twin declared, kissing his mother. When he went back to his room, he found that the long stocking remained quite still while he tock all the lovely prosents out of And ao “na stocking on be his watchword, and
