ASHLAND,’ Neb., Dec. 24.—Mrs. E1- sie Reynolds took compassion on Harry Elson, and, by marrying .him, probably saveq him from a term in the penitentiary. © Mrs, Reynolds was a widow. She awoke one night about three months ago to find a man in her room lean- ing over her bed and pointing a re- volver at her head. She did not scream, for she was told that if she aia she’ would ‘be killed.: The man j Went through the house, gathering up jewelry and valuables. As he was leaving he pabsed the door of Mrs. Reynolds’ room and looking in, re- marked: “Good night, “my dear, perhaps some day I shall see you again.” As s00on ag the man was gone Mrs. Reynolds reported the burglary to was caught.

The question of whether to marry yesterday or wait a few days was the argument for several hours yesterday in room 722 in the Marquette Hotel, The bridegroom won. The mASTIASS was | yesterday. Miss Louise. Steinkamper, who was staying at the Marquette Hotel, was the bride. William C. Sutton, a sales- man, living at the Antlers Hotel, was the bridegroom. In the argument, which continued the greater part of the morning, Sut- ton had the affirmative and Miss Stein- kamper the negative. She argued that in view of the exténsive notoriety she had endured as a result of being robbed in a taxicab in, sChicago, she would rathef wait a short time until her mar- riage would not attract further pub- licity. Sutton insisted it would be as well -to get marfied, endure the publicity and have it over with. 680 a licénse was issued at noon yesterday in Clay- ton to Miss Steinkamper and Sutton, They were married by the Rev Mr. William Langtry of the Presbyterian Chureh of Clayton. Miss Steinkamper was the principal of @ taxicab Tobbery in Chicege a few weeks age. She told a Post-Dispatch reporter about it yesterday. She was in the taxi and asked the chauffeur to step at a roadhouse for a drink. After the drink, he drove her to a secluded spot, and as he opened the doer, he thrust a revolver into the cab, demanding her money. She says that when she refused to hand over the money, the chauffeur abstracted the money from its hiding place, peeled a $100 bill and a $20 bill from the roll and handed her the re- mainder. He then mounted his box and dreve off, leaving her alone on the boulevard. FRESH DRESSED TURKEY 210 A POUND. Wresh dréssed beef, if a pound; fresh dressed duck, 18c a pound; fresh

PREVIOUS VERDICT CITED Amount Left to the Mother Church, Estimated at $3,000,- ooo, Is the Stake. By Leased Wire From the New. Bureau of the Post-Dispatch.’ _ NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—The Now York World will print the following dispatch from Boston in its news columns tomorrow: Mary Baker G. Eddy, the foundér of Christian Science, has left as a legacy to the cult she created the gravest crisis in its history. . She did this unknowingly, of course, when in her wil) shie made the Mother Church her residuary legatee and be- queathed to it the bulk of her estate, which conservative estimate fixes cloge to $3,000,000. No doubt remains that the heirs of Mrs. Eddy—her son, George W. Glover, and. her adopted son, Dr. B. J. Foster Haddy—have reached a final decision 40 fight for possession of this fortune. It is equally certain that former United. States Senator William E. Chandler of Washington; D. C., and other distinguisied counsel represent- ing the heirs have determined upon 4a line of legal action which will rajse unique issues and arouse international interest. Seys Twe Suits Are Imminent. Mr. Chandler emphatically declined to make any staterhent, but several other distinguished lawyers have been consulted in the preparation of these tion from absolutély authentic sources, Not only will the will of Mra, Bddy utery laws of Massachusetts, but there is every promise of a separate proceeding - which ‘will be directed against Christian, Science itself as @ movement against public .policy. , The lawyers for the Eddy heirs did net} have far to look fer the keynote of} their proposed attack ‘upon the Christian Science jeader’s will. They found it in the tevised laws of Massachusetts for the year 1903, in stotion § ¢ chapter, Bi. It reads: ‘The income of the gifts, grante, be- quests and devises made to or for the 9s } USO. of any one chiirch shall not exceed. $2000 a year, exclusive of the income of any parsonage land granted te or for the use of the ministry.” Oey: Probably net a dozen persons ‘pesident in the State of Magmachusetts knew of | ita existence. .Obviously it was linknown | in the drawing of her. which was exeouted only one short year. aie the pyro gerd — the statute. Bar te. ty gp see fin this law a sure ie- gal bar to the inheritance by the Ghris- i tian Seience Church of Mrs. Bady’s vast estate. : 7? tr" will ts Dilegal and void; that tn point of fact, Mrs. Eddy made no disposition created identically the same as if Mra. Eddy died intestate. have had to get around one serious | obstacte in preparing their plan of aoc- tion. This was the agreement of settie- merit made last year between Mra. Hady and her sons, in which the heirs pledged themselves not to contest any will she might leave. - But. close students of the situation believe "that the resourceful lawyers have a safe and sure way out of the difficulty. Chandler clearly plans to keep his clients’ within the strict letter of their agreement, so that no interest

of theirs under the settlement shall be endangered. This.he doubtiess purposes to accomplish by moving in the matter through a bill of equity, which, while compelling the courts to pass upon the legality of Mrs. Eddy’s will, cannot be legally con- strued 4s a contest of tHat will. If the Christian Science leaders should ask the Legislature to amend the law by raising the sum which the chureh may hold, the heirs ate expecteg to fight on the ground that Christian Science is not a religion, but in face fs a menace te the publica Gtartling as ig this, it has precedent thet is even mere startling. The general public doesnot know tt, but it ig a fact that Christian Science was under the close scrutiny of the Pennsylvania eourts for several years. Previous Court easibi. The final outcome was a decision by the highest legal tribuna! of that State, adjudging the practice of Christian Science ag against public policy under the law. Although it waa in the Pennsylvania ceurts in one form or anether fer a period of six years, no adequate information reached the public. Its importance was net recognized, even, as the re- sent developments tn the Christian Science fielq were totally unforseen at that time. Mo ene cab tell why this item of news so quickly drepped out of sight and memory, but to some it is signifi- cant that the publication committee of the mother chufch is intrusted alike with the Guties of distributing desirable information and plans, and the Wofld has its informe- | be attacked as illegal under the stat-. to Mrs. Eady and the advisers who aided. ef her property, and that a condition is}. tak ee

It is expected that Mayor Kreismann will wait at the city hall to put his. signature to the measure so that, with the emergency clause as one of its pro visions, it will become effective at once.

The city has the power of emi- nent domain, the power to operate such utilities, and the power to borrow money, either on the credit of the city, or on the property itself, without pledge of the city’s credit—the latter being a power which the city does net possess under the old charter. In brief, we may say, that under the new charter, the city will have not only all the powers it now possesses ovér public utilities, but many additional powers, and that the granting of fran- chises is safeguarded in a way which would have saved the city milliens of dollars in the pédst. THE INITIATIVE. “The board carefully considered the in- sertion in the charter of the initiative in legislation, but was advised by its counsel, Messrs. Frederick N.

—_— Welsh Credits Vegetable Diet: With His Success

& \ By ROBERT EDGREN. & Dror Correspondent of the Post- Didpatcn. NEW YORK, Dec. 244.—Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion of England, still holds his-title. Last Tuesday, qt Car- diff, Wales, he defeated the great featherweight champion, Jem Driscoll, Driscoll was disqualified In the tenth round for putting his head under Welsh’s chin, Battling Nelson = style, and © butting. This is a great victory for the vege- tarians, and a sad blow to the beef-fed athletes of old England.

Driscoll .was a marveléus boxer 4n4 made all the boys he fought look like amateurs. His last feat was the whip- ping of Abe Attell. For the first time in his life Attell was made to look foolish. Driscoll had him diving through the ropes and flopping to his knees when he missed pumcnes. Driscoll can console himself with the thought that Welsh also beat Attell in a lb-round fight In Los Angeles two years ago. Jem is still featherweight

Welsh makeéS great capital of his vegetarianism. He tells how eating vegetables gave him strength: and speed and endurance, all of which qualities he possesses in a ‘superlative degree. Hut down in Los Angeles they wink when you speak of Freddie’s vegetable diet. They say Welsh had a weakness for chicken, and every now and then slipped away tO some secluded road- house where he wasn't known and in- dulged in a little white meat. On one such occasion Freddy went for a trip into the country with his sister, They visited a roadhouse inn and sat down for dinner. Freddy looked the bill of fare over and then calling an obsequeous waiter ordered two (fa portions of chicken a la Marylandé. ie “And rush it,” said Freddy, tea, his chops. “Yes, sir, Mr. Welsh, right aWay, ae Welsh,’ said the waiter, ee himself toward the kitchen.

HAT the player’s héart is in the right place was demonstrated here today, when, at a meeting of delegates to the Natiénal Baseball Play- érs’ Union, a motion was unanimonsly carried authorizing an appropriation to be devoted to the erection and main- tenance of a home for indigent mag- nates. } The motion was presented by Tyrus Cobb Jr., son of the famous outfielder now president of the Automobile Trust. Mr. Cobb said, in part: : ‘The lamentable conditions - brought out aft the recent annual: reunion of club owners, call for immediate action tending to relieve the straightened cir- cumstances of that class of baseball workers, the magnates. In their humble way they have contributed much to the welfare of the game. That they are now reduced to a condition of. cham- pagneless. banquets speaks eloquently of the depths to which our fellow work- ers have sunk. : “If thé appropriation asked for proves insufficient, I for one am willing to con- tribute from my modest ealary of $12, 000 at least $5 per annum.’ Uproarious .applause from the gal- lery here momentarily silenced the speaker and the chairman was mpelled to order the ejection of the offenders who were later learned to be a bunch of creditors of club owners. In thé course of the regular order of business that followed a motion was passed fixing a salary minimum in the big leagues at $12,000 yearly. * * + Don’t Overlook Muggins.

Agricultural College and Northwestern University, all strong in the football world. Owing to his opposition to many of the “Big Eight” eligibility rules it is possible that both Wisconsin and North- western may pass him up. At the Michi- gan Agricultural institution, however, there are. no conference affiliations to restrict and Cochems could follow his own ideas. If . Cochems should land the, latter berth it would probably mean that the northern eleven Would be on the sched- ule of the local universities. For sey- ral years the Aggies have ranked with the best teams in the West and as an attraction are not to be overlooked.

Probably this sum entirely wipes out the annual profits of some of the more lowly teams. ' The Browns and Cardinals each ex- pended about $20,000.

None perhaps Knows this better than Abe Attell, who ts now, for the first time, perhaps, in a campaign of 10 years, at the. top, with- | out a dissenter to gainsay his suprem- acy. Attell is now 27 years of age. He has been fighting since he was 16. He has been without’a peer at his weight for’ five years. Yet in 1906 Attell was given scant recognition, although probably a better man than he is today. For years Attell tried désperately to gain recognition, He followed Young Corbett. from coast to coast, begging, beseeching him, for.a match, offering to let him make catch- weights. He did the same before ‘that with M lightweights of note. But they side-stepped him, even at the longer rotites he offered to” go. The fact is, Corbett, even in his prime, was in deadly fear of Abe's] prowess and, like his associate light- weights, declined \to risk his laurels in a fight with a man a class lower in- the scale of weights. Then and Now. Foe Now, Attell can only get fights by going out of ,his class. The pro- posed match with McFarland is one. And although Attell would be giving away 12 pounds in weight; even the clever Packey would have his work cut out breaking even with the wonder-. ful little Hebrew, if the match had not fallen through. Five years ago Attell. made .the statement that he could beat any, lightweight in the world in a 20- round fight and let hime make catch- weights. And it has taken five years of. dens’ onstration in fights to make the pub- lic turn a listening ear to his boasts.

_ |EBBETS PEEVED BECAUSE . HE'S NOT ON COMMITTEE NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Charles H. Eb- bets, president of the Brooklyn base- ball team, who considers himself one of the best little: schedule makers in the business, is in none too genial a frame of mind these days because he was left off the Schedule Committee at the National League meeting last week. He -is convinced that he was dropped from this committee, after having served on it for many years, because of his activity last year in behalf of a season of 168 games. And it is this that riles the Brooklyn magnate. “I worked out a 168game schedule merely in obedience to the wishes of the other magnates,” he said. “I got the finest collection of roasts ever handed to a magnate for my efforts. But eventually the major leagues wij) play 168 games if they don’t get togeth- er on the scheme supposed to be fath- ered by Garry Herrmann of having each organization play 112 games and then start an inter-league merry-co- round. As far as I can learn, the Herr- mann scheme would mean 172 gameg & season.” : xs JOCKEY KNAPPT0 JOIN. YANKEE RIDERS IN EUROPE

Malcom R. Pat- terson has given Christmas. pardons. Baker came back to serve nearly 10 years remaining of his sentence for vio- lating the kuklux law in Decatur Coun- ty. | : ‘The morning of Dec. 14 a well-dressed, hoenest-looking man walked into the offiee of the main prison in the sub- urbs of Nashville. ‘Is this the warden?” he asked. “Well, Baker is my name— Henry Baker. I owe some time here and. I have come to settle it. I es- caped from this prison 20 years ago.” ‘Warden Rice took the man for a practical joker. ‘“‘No, sir, my man,” he laughed, you owe us no time.” “Oh, yes, I do,”’ insisted the stranger. “Look up the records.” — He Had Just Married, The clerk found that Henry Baker had been sent to prison for 10 years from Decatur County in August, 1891, after conviction on.a charge of wearing @ mask, in violation of the kuklux-klan “Aaw, and attempt at robbery. The rec- ord also showed that he had been re- leased from ‘the’ Coal Creek mines in Novembér of the same yéar when the free miners captured the branch prison and effected the escape of almost 800 prisoners. | Baker then sat’ ‘aden near the Warden and told this story: “When this trouble came up against me, I had just married.

and possibly other Fred Lehmanns will rise. It will be a fine thing for the tongue before: which all the other tongues cleave abashed to give them this chance they are going to get. Not that Mr. Lehmann ever monopolized the floor at the Guild. He never did that. The point is tha when he was there it was just as natural for him to do the talking as it is in a concert hall for Paderewski to do the playing, or in an opera house for Caruso to do the singing, or whoever is pre-eminently able to do so to do it,: what- ever or wherever it is. That is the point. J... the Guilders will recall the night Emma Goldman was there. The same qu :si'on burned upon every tongue. Mr. Lehmann, as usual, sat at the rear. “Ask me somethin,” said the indomitable Goldman. Everybody cast a backlong-glance at Mr. Lehmann. Men st-oxed their chins, and women nervously fumbled their bracelets. It was .wholly out of the question that Mr. Bixby, the capitalist, or Mr. Bringhurst, the sculptor, or anyone else should ask her any- thing. Mr. Lehmann was the person to do it. He it was that by common consent shou'd pro- pound the question on every tongue. Finalty he rose, “Just asked. That was it. Everybody was dying: to know just that—tec hear Emma Goldman say it. Of course, she really never did say it, as ev- eryone subsequently agreed with Mr. Lehmann. She couldn’t do it any more than a_ Socialist could stand before that trained splitter of straws and say just what Socialism is. Mr. Roosevelt himself could scarcely have stood in Miss Gold- man’s shoes that night and made it quite clear what a Republican is, or Mr. Bryan what a Democrat is, or anybody what anything is. Not that the attitude of Mr. Lehmann was what is anarchy, Miss Goldman’”. he hostile. It probably was not. But it was—— Well, heaven knows what it was. Nobody ati the Guild has ever quite understood. It is prob- ably something terribly psychic. It interposed ' a thousand objections. They were in the air, and around the tables, and’ lurked in Mr. Leh-' mann’s smile. That was all.

RILLIANTLY, as befits a theatri- cal week opening on Christmas day, the stage én St. Louis now invites lovers of the play to entertain- ments of uncommon attractiveness, we.| calculated in the main to intensify the _ atmosphere of merrymaking appropri ate to the season. The'list of footlight offerings is head- ed by three that are new to St. Louis ' playgoers and one revival that promises to be of exceptional appeal. At the Olympic we are to have “‘Madame Sher- Ty,” the biggest New York musica! comedy success of several years. WVil- liam Faversham appears at the Garrick in a. powerful play entitled ‘“‘The World and ‘His Wife,"’ the English version of “El Gran Galeotto,” by Jose Echegaray, the famous Spanish. dramatist. The Century will present Julian Eltinge in “The Fascinating Widow,” a musica! -Comedyyin which this remarkable im. personater of women makes his stella; And at the Shubert we shall see a production “The Mikado” which, with Fritzi heff heading its distinguished com : promises to be memorable for Good entertainment is an- nounced at other houses. A hearty welcome, ‘therefore, to the plays and players of Christmas week! They constitute an important and .con- genial element of the general Yuletide - picture. ; In this most joyous holiday-time of Christendom’s with especial contentment of ‘soul that New York playgoers have just reject- ed, because of its uncleanness, the lat- est French drama to, be adapted for e@nd presented on the American stage. «The drama in question ls Henri Bat- talle’s “The Foolish Virgin,’ in which Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the English emotional actress. appeared at the Knickerbocker Theater in the Metropo- lis, last Monday evening. Only a few weeks ago Kyrie Bellew scored a dis- mal failure with another of this Gallic dramatist’s works, ‘‘The Scandal,” and ft would seem that there is little like- lihood of anything but the early with- drawal of the later Battaile play. ‘Its total eclipse here, which must come in short order,” writes the dramatic crit- “fe of the New York World, “is proof positive, if further proof were needed, of the utter futility of attempting to edjust plays dealing with social ethics from the French point of view to our iw more rugged nations of what are Ihe Sees ebligations of decent mar- fea life. W out ideas of what consti- ites marftal duty seem primitive to Parisian, “we can only retort with “A inaatte satisfaction that his are nause- ee to us.” Good for little old New York!

The lyrics and ensemble numbers in “Madame Sherry,’’ unlike those in most musical comedies, are directly related to the play's plot and action, and there, is, consequently, a plausible excuse for every musical interruption. song hit of the pjece, “Every Little Movement Has a Meaning of Its Own,’ is now played, sung and whistled all over the world. The story’s scenes are laid in a New York studio, in a salon of a palatial yacht, and on the afterdeck of this same craft, and a most pictur- esque production is made. The excellent company includes Oscar Figman, for three years the comedy feature of “‘The Merry Widow;’ Harry Stone, star of a half dozen La Salle Theater (Chicago) musical productions; Anna Boyd, a musical comedy star since the days of Hoyt’s “A Trip to China- town;’’ Ann Tasker and Mary Quive, both St. Louis favorites; Lottie Kendall, prima donna of the famous Kendall Op- era Company of San Francisco; William Cameron, a popular musical comedy figure for the past 10 or 15 years, and many others. Adequately¥ to present the many musical gems of the score, a spe- cial orchestra is carried, being added to the musicians regularly engaged at the theater. William Faversham and his company this week will present at the Gartick. beginning tomorrow evening, Frederick Nirdlinger’s great play, ‘““The World and His Wife,” adapted from “El Gran Gale- oto,” by Jose Echegaray, the famous Spanish dramatist. This drama is a powerful. exposition of the evils of caluminous gossip, its jstory showing how, on the merest breath of suspicion, Teodora, wife of Don Jull- an, is tattlingly acclaimed as being in love With Ernesto, her husband’s young ward. These three people, of noble im- {pulse and high ideals, are beset by heed-

less scandalmongering, the unconquer- able calumny growing until, wrecking @ man’s peace of mind, finally {t de stroys the good name of his house. Mr. Faversham’s admirabie company includes Julie Opp,. Nina Herbert, H. Cooper ee H. Roger Lytton, Lionel | Fr Hollins and Harry The big : display some magnificent gowns, ex- celling those worn by the best Grenaee actresses on the stage. The_'play’s story gives him the role of Hal Blake, a college lad, deeply in love with Mar- garet Leffingwell, but obliged by a scrape into which he had got himself to impersonate a young and dashing widow. He does this so successfully before the truth is revealed. In support of Mr. Eltinge are: Carrie Perkins, Violet MacMillan, June Mathis, Kdward Garvie, James E. Sullivan, Gil- bert Douglas, Charles W. Butler. Fritzl Scheff in a. gorgeous vevhvel of Gilbert and Sullivan's greatest and most picturesque comic opera, “The Mikado,”’ comes to the Sam 8S. Shubert Theater at the head of a distinguished company morrow night. Mme. Scheff brings grace, beauty and a big vitalizing force of personal mag- netism to the part of Yum-Yum, and sung before. She became the produc- tion’s star with the stipulation that the season would be limited to 20 weeks, 10 of which were devoted to a brilliantly successful New York run, the remaining 10 being ‘divided between a few other American cities, St. Louis being in the lucky -list.. The production itself is beautiful in every detail.of costume and scenic charm, and a special orchestra of 30 pieces will present-the delightfully tuneful score. Mme.

The Christmas play to be presented by the German stock company at the Odeon this evening is Ludwig Anzen- gruber’s folk-drama, ‘“‘Am Weihnachts- abend,”’ or “Helmgefunden,” its story pointing a wholesomely sweet moral ap- propriate to the glad Yluetide season. The offering is particularly timely and attractive because, in its third act, the-stage is set as a Christmas market, with toys and a big Christmas tree, con- stituting a picture well calculated to de- light the hearts of both young and old, There will also be a lighted tree in the foyer to give the Odeon an atmosphere as Christmaslike as possible. The excellent German company will be most advantageously cast, with Mrs. Victoria Welb-Markham as the Widow Hammer, one of her star parts; Hans Loebel as.

It is that some months ago, Uncle Michael _»*. Webber, who ‘owns Webber’s old water-mill on ~ ” the Chariton, “had-an idea.” “Jt was a real, genuine, unmistakably educa- tional idea. It educated him and it is educating his neighbors, regardless of the age-limit, all , He got a modern »,. idea of what his ancient water wheel would do ae GR night when there was ne corn to grind. It - ‘was an electric idea. He got a belt and har- nessed the idea to the water wheel, so that it “works a dynamo which now’ lights his own house and all the other houses around the dam. This is real education. Uncle. Michael Web- ber igs one of the Truly Great, Forty-Horse- _ Power Educators of Missouri and the United ' States. He is worth 2500 educational faddists - and hobby-horse riders. He clamps his intellect down on a real idea—harnesses it and sets it to supplying energy to enlighten his community. That is real education. Nothing else is. ha he he rr In a sustained flight of six hours a French aviator has flown 320 miles.

While popular interest in “Indian — affairs” may not extend to the whole of the fong report made by the United States Commissioner for. the “Five Civilized Tribes” in Oklahoma, one item at least grips the civilized Caucasian mind with all the power of round numbers preceded by the dollar mark. As “Indian lands” were leased instead of sold, while the United States were administering the estate of the “Five Civilized Tribes,” there has been a revenue of “approximately $1,000,000 in royalties during the past fiscal soe from leased oil lands in Oklahoma. As “conservation” has worked, and as it is con- . tinuing ‘to operate, this million a year in -royal- ties is a result solely of the barbarism supposed stil] to be uneradicated in the nature of the “Five tion would have been managed on the levels. of our own higher civilization under which the land, .the oil and the still uncivilized million dollars a year in royalty would have all gone to- gether in dividends for those who are civilized enough to understand the benefits of monopoly as a special privilege. If this business of temporary occupation . of Cuba by United States troops recurs many more times, it will Save transportation to make the occupation permanent. >> A NEW FIELD FOR CHURCHES. The Methodists of Nickerson, Kan., have de- cided to install an electric lighting plant for their church, and, incidentally,to supply light and power to any member of the community who so desires—of course, at a reasonable remuneration. Doubtless the brethren hope to obtain a suf- ficient mumber of subscribers to their service\to enable them.to light their church premises for little or no cost. Perhaps members of the church will be offered reduced rates, as an inducement to non-worshippers to come into the fold. At any rate this enterprising Kansas church is going to obey the Good Book’s injunction to “let your light so shine” in a most : uneres and novel fashion. Hundreds of electrical companies are supplying light all over this continent. Many of them are owned and operated by leading church members. We shall await with interest the result of the Nickerson innovation, to determine whether the church collective is any more efficient or public- spirited in public service than its individual) members. The Nickerson Methodists have opened up/a field of wide possibilities. If they succeed; ‘we may expect to see the church interesting itself in public service in every community, which might benefit the church, no less than the community. i i Mi —S = With Secretary Dickinson added the President's Cabinet is now composed of men who are not gO- ing to quit and Tama Jim “Wilson. = = = Had » cite ate 2 TRUST-BUSTING AND TAX-MONEY. At a cost of $1,000,000 to the taxpayers, the Fed- eral Department of Justice is about to bring suit for dissolution of the so-called electrical trust, resting its case upon the court's interpretation of the patent laws. Many suits have been instituted ‘epainat trusts, at a cost of many millions to:the people. We have yet to learn of any trust forced to quit business, or the criminal conviction of any “malefactor of great wealth.” Only a few days ago,.the protracted suit. sdateet the anthracite-carrying railroads was thrown out of court for lack of evidence.

The delay and waste of money incident to any election date which would postpone operation of the approved charter beyond the April election is not to be thought of. The Council should concur in the action of the Delegates. Of the charter Aseit, it need only be said that it is sponsored by the Freeholders, who are tnw people’s representatives, and stands on its own merits.. Hostility to its provisions’ by members of the Council should’ not ‘be carried so far as position to the. bill for an election on Jan. 31. Such enmity would indicate only a desire to kill the charter by the exercise of arbitrary power and: would stamp ‘the hostfles as disbelievers in the ability of the people to ‘say whether or not they want the new charter. This is unthinkable. The Council should lose no time in ‘coneurring in the Delegates’ resolution to give the people a chance. POTENTIAL PASSENGERS. It works admirably in. nearly As they of information. everything which interests theni most. jare interested in the arrivals. of immigrants at the port of New. York, their bureau reports to them that the number of these “potential” pas- séngers for tne West is still increasing. Up to.date, there is an increase of 2.80 per cent in arrivals over the heavy totals of last year. This is important sociologically and politically. But it seems to-stop without becoming Western railroad business.‘ There is no mention of how many of these new arrivals in tens of thousands out of total hundreds of thousands have been secured as actual passengers by Western rail- roads. In fact, in their capacity as railroad /pas- sengers, most of them remained “potential” only This is confidential...The Western distribution of these potential passengers hardly justifies a monthly’ showing and the annual showing is rarely good enough for: -purpdses of publicity. Yet every one of these families, secured first as Western passengers, counts the next year in the inerease of; freight movement. Western rail- roads are leaving millions of tons of potential freight out of reach, so that i¢ will remain po- tential until they learn the mathematics of dis- tributing population as well as of receiving it. The figures of undistributed population they pub- lsh are records of potential millions they will not make until they distribute it. ll i Condesa Bartholdt has introduced a bill for the restoration of the army canteen and the W.

A éourt decision in Pennsylvania classing the offices of a loan company. charging illegal rates of interest with “disorderly houses” proves that the pendulum of public opinion is swinging to an extreme in judging the usurer. Many centuries ago it was said of the man accounted good: “He putteth not: out his money upon usury, nor taketh reward against the in- nocent;” coupling the usurer with the hired thug or perjurer. Usury is expressly forbidden in the Bible. : But towards the. end.of the eighteenth cen- tury, when the laissez-faire, complete ‘freedom of contract ideas began to rule, economic writ- ers, such as. Bentham, wrote attacking all usury laws as arbitrary and unwise, because the lend- er had the right: to insure himself against un- usual risk--by' charging what he pleased. As a consequence of such arguments, all usury laws were repealed in England by the act of 17 and 18 Victofia. ‘A reaction, however, set in. Adam Smith and other economists took the ‘other view, pointing out that borrowers were at the complete mer- cy of lenders and should: be protected. But the laws enacted in Great Britain simply pro- vided for the registration of money lendérs and the review by the courts of illegal and unrea- sonable contracts. The country imposing the severest penaity is Germany, where over-exact- ing usurers are liable to imprisonment for six months and a fine of 300Q marks. There is little doubt that in this, as in. other — | human activities the humanitarian point of view iz gradually displacing the purely economic. The ‘under. dog” is getting his turn, with the result that al] the thunderings of the ancient moralists against extortion are ukely to be crystallized into law. ih hn de. i i In this giad Christmas season Senator Lori- mer must be thankful for as much whitewash as can be made to stick. — = = = — reds ‘Wooeks comes an official report that the baby crop is falling off alarmingly.

From the New -York World. — The city of Milwaukee, which elected a Socialist Mayor last spring, is about to ask the Legislature for authorization to carry out a’ program of mu- nicipal socialism which will constitute the most extensive experiment of the kind ever undertsKen in this country. The legislation as drafted empowers the city to take over and operate all public utilities now in private hands, to build municipal slaughter-houscs and cold-storage plants, construct model hoes for workingmen, establish a municipal plum bing} shop and undertake such other civic enterprises a8 the voters by referendum may decide upon. Thicse activities are part of the platform on which Mayor Seidel was elected, and which included also thyree- | cent carfares, free luncheons for school children, municipal coal and wood yards; standard loavea of bread, etce., and public amusements such as ‘the “municipal ball” instituted some time since Assuming that these further powers are grant- ed, Milwaukee will furnish an example of applied municipal socialism of the highest educationz1l value. From it the rest of the country will ,be able to see just. how Socialist ideals work out tn practice. Every experiment in the application of a new social or political propaganda, from the communism of Brook Farm to city government by commission, now on ‘trial in the: West, is worth more than any amount of theory. The nation generally is under obligations to Milwaukee for establishing a practical school of municipal socialism for the free :fnstruction of ‘other cities. - . > THE BRUTE. Several years, ago a Paola couple were living happily, together. The community was shocked one day when the wife applied for a divorce and got’it,” says a Paola paper. “The story of the divorce has come out. _It seems that the wife went into the kitchen and ‘Blaved’ atl day. She baked bread, pies, cake, cookies and pork and beans. She boiled a tongue, made a potato salad, stuffed eggs, madea’custard pie and brown bread. When her husband tame home at 6 o’clock in the evening he:found her dressed up. And on the table was cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh bread, cake, cookies, ple, potato salad, stuffed eggs, brown bread «nd custard. The wife thought her husband would say; ‘You poor dar- ling, how,you have worked today!’ Instead he said in a surprised way: ‘Cold supper! Lord, but you have an easy time!’ His wife did not answer him. She was speechless with rage, and he does not. know to this day why she asked to be di- yoreed from a.

BRITONS RUN AWAY FROM HOME IN GREAT DROVES Spectr! Wireless Dispatch to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1910, by Prees Pub. Co. (Ncw York World.) LONDON, Dec. 24.—-This Christmas ‘season, -under King George, the Anglo-American con- tingent figds to be vefty different from such times under King. Edward. Wherever the members of that set meet they shake heads as well as hands over the great change. For several years Christmas time hes been al- most the gayest, pleasantest pericd in the year for those society folk. King Edward was the center of the activity, giving and receiving pres- ents, arranging quiet, exclusive parties, paying pretty compliments and keeping up the spirit of the season fn gocd old kingly style. George V ignores their existence. He exchanges courtesies only with @ few old friends and family retainers, and the smart set is thrown wholly upon its own resources. The result is that a great number have gone abroad Or are going, while the others are having hum- drum family parties in the country amid the floods and the rains. _y Winter sports in the Alps are the greatest at- traction this season. The railroad companies cannot provide enough trains for the . hordes journeying from England to well-known Alpine resorts. But the weather is as bad there as it is elsewhere. Instead of dry, sunny frost, rain and sleet predominate. A visit to a Swiss Alpine re- sort ,in unfavorable weather is one of the most bering é¢xperlences imaginable. There is also a.large exodus to the Riviera, not- withstanding the unfavorable weather there. OUR AMBASSADOR COMING HOME. Ambassador and Mrs. Reid are at Chilton with their daughter, Mrs. John Ward, who has a small party. The family expects to depart for America soon after Christmas. Ambassador and Mrs. Reid plan to go two or three days ahead of the Wards, who will join the Reids in New York, It is not quite settled whether the Ambassador will be able to get away owing to the pressure of diplomatic work, but his ticket has been bought. He proposes to make a brief stay in New York snd then go to California, where Mrs. Reid in- tends to stay until the end of March. The Am- bassador must return eartier. _ Williams Phillips, secretary of the embassy, and his wife, who was Caroline. Astor Drayton, are down at Beaconsfield, where they have rented a country place for.a term. Mr. Phillips is con- 'Valescent after an operation, but-is not yet alto- gether strohg. Mrs. Phillips, being delicate, is not going about.much at present. -Lord Granard and his American wife, who was Beatrice Mills of New York, have come to their town residence from their estates in Ireland, after having made generous gifts to their tenants there. ca There is a large Christmas party at Combe Abbey, where the Earl of Craven and his wife, Yoe daughter of Bradley Martin, have a house gull of the boy ‘friends of Viscount Uftington, Meir 13-year-old son, and also of . grown-up @iends of their own, including Mrs. Bradley Mar- tin, the Marquis and. Marchioness (Flora Davis of New York) of Dufferin, Lord and Lady -Abing- don atid their daughter, Mrs. Samuel Newhouse: Miss Taylor, Lord Alexander Thynne and Lord Basil Blackwood. BRADLEY-MARTIN’S FESTIVITIES. One of the events ef the Christmas festivities there will be a servants’ ball in the large draw- ing room, supper L¢éing served in the dining room, a fine pillared chamber. hung with Lelys and two priceless Canalettes.. There will be three Chris- mas trees, one for the guests, one for the chil- dren of the party, who will have a dance and supper, and the third for the household and ten- ants. Lord Uffington and his grandmother made a complete list of the gifts and decorated the children’s Christmas tree. Another party, which includes several Amer- icans, isatCroome Park, where the Earl and the Ceuntess of Coventry are entertaining Viscount and Viscountess Deerhurst and their four chitl- dren. The Viscountess is C. %V: Bonynge’s step- daughter. Other guests are Henry Coventry, who married rs. Richard McCreery of New. York: Sir Kieth, Lady Dorothy Frazer and Miss Batten, an American girl. . All next week will be de- voted to the amusement of the children. Mrs, Bonynge, who is now in Egypt with her

other daughter, Lady Maxwell, sent over for the |’ trees several hampers of curios from Cairo and one filled entirely with Sweetmeats. Mr. Bon- ynge’s health prevented them from coming to En- gland, Lady Paget gave a big dinner party this week instead of the one which had been arranged for Christmas eve at Belgrave Square, having ac- ‘ecopted the invitation of Mrs. Ronald Greville to spend all next week at Polesden.

— BEAUTY THRIVES IN ROMAN OPERA Lovely Women Flock to the Stage! of the Eternal City and Achieve Social .Triumphs.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. ROME, Dec. 12.—Italy is famed as a land of beauty, and a generous share of her beautiful women may be seen on: the concert and opera stage here, and Rome is proud of them. Among the more youthful ‘of these handsome singets is Signorina Isaia, who appeared in son- cert when only 16 years old. A Neapolitan by birth, she attracted the at- tention of Perosi and other musical connoiseurs, one of whom, Signor Gianotti, brought her to ‘Rome at his own expense. After two years’ study she made a great hit here in “Lohengrin” at the Costanzt Theater. Her patron is aiso her pro- tector. He sees her home after every night per- formance and keeps the gilded youth of Rome at a distance. Rumor has it that she will soon Marry a Hungarian nobleman. Signora di Lorenzo, the wife of Armando Fal- coni, a famous comic actor, never could count her admirers, but, cold and impassive, she treated with like indifference all but the one she mar- ried.

MME. CURIE ASKS ACADEMY CHAIR

Long Evaded Question Put Squarely | Before Savants by Her Application.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, Dec. 14.—~Mme. Curie has thrown the savants of the Academy of Sciences into a panic by officially asking to be elected to the chair formerly held by her husband. Previously the learned members of the academy have escaped this question by ignoring it. As long as Mme. Curie was not officially a candidate, they did not officially recognize her existence. Wo member of the academy will intimate. of- ficially or privately, that Mme. Currie is not worthy of the vacaht seat from a scientific stand- peint and if she is not elected there can be but one, reason assigned—that she is a woman. This is a day of honors for women in France and the saévants realize their position. When Pierre’ Curie was elected a member of the academy he freely announced that Mme. Curte was his coworker and should share his honors as the discoverer of radium. This was taken at the time as a bit complimentary, but since he was killed in @ street accident, Mme. Curie has done work that has forced her recognition on strictly g Persons: merit. The only woman who has been a member of a French academy was Mme. Vigee le Brun, the painter, Academy of Fine Arts. LIFE SIZE ANIMAL TOYS FOR BOYS OF ENGLAND Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 15.—Life-sized toy animals are being demanded by young Britons as toys this year, and in the shops.are displayed baby ele- phants 6 feet tall, giraffes 15 feet high, two- humped camels, lions, dogs, cafs and . monkeys, all full size. The elephant sells for $100 and the camel for $75. They are each fitted with a device to make them emit. their natural calls. A.demand for realism in toys has led to the making of these large animals. For obvious reasons the shops do not carry a large number of these animals in their show windows but sell from sample and make deliveries from a ware- house, DENISE ORME, ACTRESS, IS MADE PEERESS BY DEATH Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—-A Bible bear- ing army of 1000 young men will march through the streets of this city the’ last day of the year from one large hote] to another in the loop district delivering the Bibles bought by the Gideons, an association of Christian traveling men, for the equipment of hotel rooms. Six thousand of these Bibles hava been bought. They are well bound, have large, clear type, and were sold to the Gideons at one-third off the regular price, in consideration of the purpose. In the hotel rooms they will not be attached to prevent theft. If a Bible is taken it will be considered a good sign by the donors and the book will be replaced. In buying the Bibles the Gideons were aided by churches of this city, members of the Y. M. C. A. and in- dividuals.

LIFE TERM WITH WIDOW FOR MAN SHE PUT IN GELL ASHLAND, Neb., Dee. 24.—Mrs. Elsie Reynolds took compassion on Harry Elson and, by marrying him, saved him from.a probable term in the pen- itentiary. : Mrs. Reynolds, or rather now Mrs. Elson, for three years prior to a few days ago was a widow. Occupying her home alone, one night, about three months ago, she awoke to find a man in her room leaning over her bed and pointing a revolver at her head. She did not scream, for she was informed thdt if she did, she would be killed. The man went through the house, gath- ering up jewelry and valuables. As he was leaving, he passed the door of the room of Mrs. Reynolds and looking in, remarked: “Good night, my dear; day you will be my wife.”’ Mrs. Reyholds reported the burglary to the police and next day the son of a well-to-do farmer who had been cut off without an allowance, was arrested. “Prosecution Prohibited. Reynolds appeared against the young man, who was about her own age, and he was held for trial. That was last June and until about ten days prior to the convening of the December term of court, she was almost a dafly caller at the county jail where Elson was confined. The jailer looked upon the calls as @ Jove-making affair and permitted the dourting to go on through | 2 the bars. x Then court convened, but when the case of the State against Harry Elson, charged with burglary, was called, it} was dismissed for Want of prosecution.

CROSS CONTINENT REAGHES FRISCO Pathfinder for Government and Touring Club Ends Long Trip of 4609 Miles.

! SAN FRANCISCO, Dec., 10.—For the first time in automobile history a complete route for tourists has been marked from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, when there arrived in ing Club of America in his Premier touring car with which he has marked |a touring route from New York to the Golden Gate. This event is senniiaees by auto- mobilists of the coast as marking a4 new epoch in transcontinental tour- ing, because: it is the first accurate pathfinding trip which has ever been made and it is thought will influence .scores of other parties to make the run annually. Mr. Westgard has made accurate reports of the road condi- tions, the mileage, altitudes, tempera- tures, grades and hotel and supply facilities, not only in the interest of motorists, but also for the United States Government, under a commis- sion from the Department of Agricul- ture. It has taken six weeks to make the long trip of 4600 miles by the most feasible route, though the fol- lowers will need only three-fourths of that time for a comfortable run. STEAM CARS TO RACE. Steam propelled automobiles are destined to™come into their own as far as motor racing is concerned dur- ing the 1911 season if the action of the contest. board of the American Automobile Association is directed as Chairman S. M. Butler now believes it will be when the rules for the com- ing season are made. The consider- ation of the steam power machine is the outgrowth .of a desire evidenced by two -or:three makers of that kind of automobile to see their product in competition with gasoline cars in the International Sweepstakes race to be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speed- wey May 30 next. WOMAN DRIVES 10,000 MILES Mrs. John Stetson of Brocton, Masg., holds a touring record of 10,000 miles, made since last May. Mrs. Stetson, who is one of the most ‘enthusiastic woman -automobilists in. New England, early this season purchased a Ford model T touring car, and it was in this car that she made this unusual record ‘for a woman driver. Not only has she toured Maine this season, but. she has also driven her auto all over New En- gland. She ean put on a tire, mend a puncture and make her repairs in case of trouble. _ WEBER IN NEW BUILDING.

Robert Douglas Suggests Course in Lower Plane Near the — Art Museum. SECOND IN WEST END and the Depressions Left by Fair Leveled. . Suitable sites for two public golf links in Forest Park have been found by Robert Douglas, athletic instruc- tor of the Playgrounds’ Commission, who was directed by Park Commis- sioner Scanlan to make the selection. No estimate of the cost of prepar- ing the courses is included in Doug- las’ report. This estimate will be furnished by an engineer in the event that Park Commissioner Scanlan ap- proves the locations recommended by Douglas. Although Douglas’ report has been in Park Commissioner Scanlan's bands for several weeks, Scanlan says he has given it no consideration. He says that he is in doubt also as to when he will be able to reply to the Council’g resolution of Dec. 2, asking for information about the feasibility and expense of establishing one or more public golf Jinks in the park. Cover Part of Racetrack. A nine-hole course, Douglas sug- gests, might be ¢2%d out in the lower Plane of Forest Park, north and east of the Art Museum. This would cover part of the old race track built by the Triple A Club before the World's Fair. P The other course—of 18 holes— could be best situated, Douglas thinks, in the west end of the park, skirting Skinker road. To put a links at that point would necessitate the cutting of some trees and the level- ing of some depressions remaining in that part of the park since the World’s Fair. It is regarded as unlikely that Park Commissioner Scanlan will accept the proposal to lay out a golf course in the lower plane. It is thought that this would interfere with the plans for the Jefferson monument to be erected north of the Art Museum, by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. No Objections to Course. While the monument itself will stand immediately north of the Museum, and somewhat west and south of the site selected by Douglas, both directions will be part of the pieture contemplated in the design. Except for the expense required to put the grounds in shape, there is be- lieved to be no objection to the estab- lishment of a course west of the “Mu- seum. * Those familiar with the cost of laying out golf links say that a course\could be established in the western part of Forest Park for an amount not above $8000 if the park-.department would use its own teams and laborers on the ‘work. With annual appropriations equal to the initial outlay, it is contended, the course in a few years could be made one of the best public links in the country. 150 Acres Available. About 150 acres of rolling ground are available in the western section of Forest Park. The area in the lower plane is considerably smaller than that, but is thought to be ample for a nine- hole course. Park Commissioner Scanlan told a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday that he didn’t know when he would send to the Council a reply to its resolution. “I Haven’t had time to go into the subject,”’ Scanlan said, ‘‘because I have been out of the city, and have~ great many other matters to handle. I can only promise that {shall give the Coun- cil my attention as soon as possible.’’

MANHATTAN. Kan., Dec. 24.—A new course of study is being pre- pared at the Kanshs Agricultural Col- lege, and it will be installed as a part of the regular work beginning with the spring term. It is a course in table manners and was asked for by members of the senior class, and while it is proposed to make the course one of the required studies for graduation and will be given in the senior class this year, it will be- come a part of the work of the early classes. Kansas has had one instance of table manners that did not go well in good society. In ‘1898 Gov. Jahn W. Leedy was a candidate for re- election. He was traveling about the State making speeches. With him were several newspaper men, Oné or two who worked for papers opposed to the Governor. One day the Gov- ernor went into a railroad lunch room and ordered “coffee and” for lunch. It was almost train time and the cof- fee was hot. The Governor poured the coffee into his saucer, blew on it and then drank from the saucer. The opposition newspaper men wrote many and weird stories about the Governor's table manners, and this was attributed as one of the causes for his defeat. 4 Pouring Coffee Common Habit. It has long been @ habit with many Kansas men to .pour the coffee inte the saucer, blow on it before drink- ing. There are other things required at the table in polite society, such as which fork to use for different foods, placing the elbows on the table, making a noise while drinking and numerous other items of water, Now the young men social etiquette. \ who are attending the Kansas Agri- cultural College and who eat most of their meals in restaurants want to know about the social requirements. The Agricultural College proposes to teach them. Last summer the State Board of Rducation adopted a course of morals and manners to be taught in the common schools. - In all country schools in the State the small boys are receiving daily lessons in hon- esty, address and other important parts in the making of an upright, moral citizen of good manners in s0- eial and business affairs. The 7000 Kansas school teachers were told that the State Board regarded the course in morals and manners of equal im- portance with reading, writing and the other common school branches, ania the teachers were instructed to read up if they did not know and to! instruet the children how to be good little girls and boys.

? A a ¥ eee ——_— AIR 8 ea eekly Review of Markets ; and IDRY WEATHER REPORTS, BULL FACTOR IN WHEAT

—==|Week’s Price Range Is Slightly Higher on Lack of Moisture and Snow Covering Over the Growing. Area.

Traders were inclined to favor the bull side of wheat the past week on continued reports of dry weather over the winter wheat area. A further de- ¢créasé in the European visible supply, making 6,640,000 bu in the past two weeks, was also a bullish influence. Chicago reported the leading interests in the trade bullish and long a heavy line of wheat, at much higher prices. All efforts to liquidate it have been futile so far, but the holders express com dence of ultimately making @ mar- ‘ket. Dry weather seems to be their only card at present, as the statistical position of the market remains weak. Outside news was bearish. Liverpool being inclined to sell wheat on favor-* able Australian and Argentine advices, and large Russian offers backed by pri- vate reports of heavy increases in Rus-’ sian interior stocks. The near approach of the holidays caused some — up of contracts in all markets. Broomhall reported the Argentine har- vest making excellent progress and the quality of grain good. He says the corn condition is normal and acreage official- ly placed at 7,945,000. In 1908-9, the acre- age was 7,848,000, and in 1907-8, 6,779,000, from which the yield was 136,057,000 bu. Reports from the flour and mill trade continue disappointing, the policy of buying from hand to mouth being con- tinued, while stecks pile up and export demands are not sufficient to relieve the situation. Millers generally talk bearish and the near approach of the period when the new Argentine crop comes on the market to compete with our un- wieldly surplus influences general sen- timent. : ' Reports Discredited. Notwithstanding the doleful accounts, which continue to come in from the Bouthwest regarding prospects for the next crop of wheat, it is noticeable that the deliveries in that section continue on a liberal scale, and the comparison with last year is striking. Receipts at Kansas City are nearly double last year; also at Omaha. The farmers evi- dently are not as much worried about conditions as are some speculators.

' The Canadian visible wheat supply is placed at 10,822,000 bu, against 10,852,000 bu last week and 9,182,000 bu last year. In addition to these stocks, Secretary Bell ef the’ Winnipeg exchange says there are 1,348,000 bu in Canadian termi- nal harbors and 8,612,000 bu in boats at Buffalo and Duluth, not included in the United States or Canadian visible, so that the supply of Canada should be 15,777,000 bu instead of 10,822,000 bu, as reported. The Northwestern Miller reported both at Minneapolis and interior mills flour was dul] last week. While some mills made moderate sales, as a rule bookings were much smaller than the output. Jan. 1 is near at hand and buyers are loathe to either contract for more flour or to order it out any further than necessary. World’s Estimate Small. Broomhall estimates the world’s heat shipment for the week, exclusive f North America, at 6,800,000 bu. Total shipments last week were 9,840,000 bu, against 11,416,000 bu last year and 6,- 629,000 bu in 1908. An official report places the wheat acreage of the Unfted Provinces at 10 per cent over last year. Condition of all crops is said to be satisfactory. The Huropean wheat visible for the week shows 113,000,000 bu, against 116,- 480,000 bu last week, a decrease of 288,000 bu. Last week thé visible decreased 2,- 760,000 bu, and last year 1,300,000 bu, when the total supply was only 77,- 603,008 bu. Bradstreet’s figures. for last week showed: Wheat east of the Rockies decreased 1000 bu; Canada increased 723,000 bu; United States and Canada in- creased 722,000 bu; afloat and in Europe _| decreased 2,800,600.

The Rochester Bvening Times canvassed 135 department stores by mail fn the 4 eities.in the United States of more than 15,000 pupulation. Of this number 108 un- reservedly proclaim the superiority of the evening paper as an advertising medium; 21 make no statement of pref- erence.

The Greatest Want Medium in the World is the Post-Dispatch.. It pub- lishes more want ads in proportion to population than any other metropolitan newspaper on earth. take this means of thanking our thousands of loyal patrons for their generous patronage and for their patience and kind indulgence during _the strenuous Holiday season—the most successful in our career.

No question of mine, however irrelevant, ‘disturbed the methodical recitation. I could not but feel as if I were back in a school-room again. And I could not but think further how feasibly Prof. Curtis’ systematic arrangement of the _ study of matrimony might be incorporated in the school course, “Is it true that you uphold the position of the wife as having the greater authority in the home?” I had asked with pardonable eagerness, I think. “That question I reply to under the head of home as an institution,” he said. “In. the home each one—husband, wife and child—should recognize the authority of the home cerporation. Personal differences should not af- fect the home to any greater degree than dif- ferences of opinion among stockholders in a corporation disturb its progress. In any cor- poration the individual gives in to the majority— and the majority is usually determined by the hares of stock represented in money. “In the family the-capital stock is represented by the personal love irivested in the hoihe cor- poration and the controlling stockholder is the one whose love abounds to the greater degree.

And also that if she is fond of pink teas, he should be willing to trail along?’ “That comes under this division, a community of interests.

Seeing ‘the best in each other is love’s fuel—and this is furnished through the admiration which one feels in the accom- plishments of the other. This accomplishment may be in any form whatever and in any de- gree, but it must indicate a srowth of some kind. “Aptitude in games, cleverness or dexterity in manual arts, ability to sing or play, recognition of mutual literary tastes which encourage read- ing, @ manifestation of noteworthy economy, eemmon interest or excellence in photography. serve as some examples, hundreds of which en- hance home life,’ stimulate growth, prevent stag- nation, the social hookworm.” Btiquette.in the home was a. subject upon which Mr, Curtis dilated at length.

Mino. neighbors gather from miles around and turn the laber into play. In return, he entertains them with feasts and festivities, and reciprocates their labor when his neighbor’s harvest days arrive. At. midday the workers are summoned to a table; groaning with all the delicacies which the farm affords. Often there is an-abundance of such game as wild turkey and wild duck, which an un- fortunate of the city could not buy in a restau- rant for less than $10 or $15 per.plate. At night, the barn is cleared for the dances. All about the walls, like tapestries in the flicker- ing oil lights or candles, hang festooms of to- " hhacco, enriching the alr with their pungent odor. ‘ p ner of prosed b boots and gorgeous neckerchiefs, a* ve ” aie sie LIE 4. ; x Y with their taces shaved to incandescence and their hair plastered stylishly to their scalps. Not less decorative are the girls, who enter with giggles of embarrassment, their cheeks glowing and their eyes sparkling. There is a minute of suspense as each youth essays to “pick the girl that loves him best,” while the fiddle caterwauls itself more or less into tune. Then the minstrel on a soap box dais bawls his first order to the dancers, begins an energetic pounding of the tempo with his foot and dashes into the first bars of “Turkey in the Straw.” There is a trampling of boots and a starchy whisking of skirts, and the Tobacco Dance is on. The Innovation of round dances is not tolerated. only square dances—the quadrille, the lancers and the reel—being au rigueur. As the rafters shake with the révelry, a fine and perfumed dust filters down from the tobacco sheaves: in the intervais of a Ph ed fashioned “kiss- ee wha eaitvi A ca aL ‘ i) aoe a ah. ve nal baie ing games” are played, amid whoops and shrieks of merriment. The “postoffice’” flourishes, the men delivering smacking missives at the one doors_of their partners’ lips. A gargantuan bowl of egg-nog dispenses its comfort. It is often past midnight when the fes- tivities come to a reluctant end, and the merry- makers, embarking in their buggies and wagons —sometimes their automobiles—scatter far and wide to their homes. That Missouri will be the second tobacco State of the United States is predicted by Kentuckians who were driven from their homes by the night riders and who have found refuge in Missouri during the last two years. Qne year’s crop, near Weston, Mo., 80 miles from Kansas City, was 500,000 pounds of white burley tobacco, which was shipped to Louisville and sold at the top market price of from 16 to 20 cents a pound. Platte County aloge, last year, produted 2,000,000 pounds. At Weston it was discovered that the soll is — OR ne = MGR A pm Ce LE BF Nl cmt SET Saree ae ES , . . espcons ain —_ i. ae NS bacco. “MANNISH WOMEN” AND WOMANISH MEN” IN THIS ISSUE.

= Curious Rage for Imitating Dress and Manners of Opposite Sex--Prof. Sargent s Discovery-- “Womens Feet Getting Bigger --Some Men Ready to Surrender Last of Their Rights, That of Paying the Bills--"Women Who Nobly Support Their Husbands.” on hig first visit in a fashion- able Colorado hotel bar, was aghast at the spectacle of a troop young women, in riding breeches strode with clanking spurs swinging crops to the door, | cigarettes, put their feet on the r and ordered highballs, which they drank with a masculine “Here’s how.” After the libation, caey flung them- selves astride horses and galloped off in a shower of flying mud, with all the security of dragoons. On the first fair day several of them ap- peared on the veranda in bifurcated linen suits, resembling a soldier’s khaki uniform. In their hour. of re- laxation they lounged on divans, smoked cigarettes and drank more cocktails. What a shock this twentieth cen- tury manifzstation would have been to their grandmothers, who consid- ered a fragile delicacy the proper at- tribute of femininity, and who cul- tivated an instantaneous facility of fainting as an accomplishment, de- Scr months ago a St. Louisan, signed to inake man vain of his . strength and anxious to bestow its ‘upon the weakness of the opposite sex!

Scientific confirmation of the change that has come over the fair sex is derived from Dr. Dudley Allen Sargent, director of gymnastics at Harvard University. He asserts that woman is steadily approaching the oor OO OF ii Tri ti titi Lilti tii iti Litiiii titi Litititiitri ay basi Lig ZMLILY RANDOLZ ILGENFRITZ; opposite sex in physical type, and makes the stinging additicn that man is,also going womanward. He intimates that unless the pendulum swings before reaching an extreme, men and women will revert to the cave-dwelling types, when it was well-nigh impossible, he declares, to tell the sexes apart. “Twenty years ago,” says Dr. Sar- gent, “woman’s ultra-feminine char- acteristics—small waist, large hips and smal] feet—were over-developed, and she was the very antithesis of man in physical proportions. Today her physique has become revolution- ized, and already approximates that of the other sex. “The typical woman of the twen- tieth century has bigger feet than her mother and grandmother and is proud of it. Her hips are smaller and her waist rounder+and larger. She has broader shoulders and a thicker neck. In some cases her chest is bet- ter developed than the average man’s.” On the other hand, Dr. Sargent believes that man, because of his sedentary employments in modern industry, is “degenerating into an ef- feminate and foppish being.” 3 “Womah’s approximation to man’s physique,” says Dr. Sargent, “is, from an anthropological point of view, a bad thing. It is to be hoped that women will not grow to be more like men than they are today. The danger. of woman’s becoming too mannish is imminent. ° “However, the pendulum, in swing- ing from one extreme to another, is likely to hit at some time upon the happy medium, the point of ideal de- velopment. Woman’s present physi- cal development is probably at its highest stage. Care must be taken not to let the pendulum swing too far and produce a race of amazons. “Women in the savage state were 30 like men in form that it was al- most ‘impossible to tell them apart. Then, as civilization progressed, their especially feminine characteristics became accentuated until the exag- geration was painful to look at. Then another change set in and women are again beginning to look and be more like men.” The adoption of man’s sports and of his professions by woman has tended to bring her nearer to man physically and also temperamentally, according to Dr. Sargent. Instead of feminine champions in crocheting and darning socks, we have women champions of golf, tennis and bil- liards. We have in Europe a world’s record set for a woman-driven aero- plane, and in America feminine bas- ket ball and baseball teams, instead of sewing circles. The evolution of the college girl, who is usually ath- letic, has provoked Dr. Thompkins of New York to apply to almost the en- tire class the gallant name of “freaks.” In the business districts of St. Louis and other large cities may be seen women of approvéd executive ability, conducting enterprises. with much of the energy and sagacity of men. Some of them affect mannish attire, such as stiff collars, cuffs and ties. Some of them walk as much like men as they are able, oiaers can rip cut an oath without too much self- consciousness, apd others are fond of cigarettes. A tobacconist at Grand avenue and Olive street, St. Louis, recently opened a stock of women’s cigarettes. glender.and perfumed, and sold them by the hundreds of boxes to fashion- able women. Bridge parties are sometimes. considered incomplete without the passing of cigarettes and the proferring of cocktails, highballs or mint juleps. Bridge has also inoc- ulated woman with the masculine vice of gambling, sometimes to -a malignant degree. On the other hand, Mrs. Theo, Alice Kitson of Boston, whose figure Dr. Sargent copied in making a chart of ideal feminine measurements, holds that woman’s new athletic de- velopment is beautiful. ‘“‘Women are becoming more grace- ful,” says Mrs. Kitson. “The propor- tions of the Greek statues are still taken as standards of beauty, and I am sure that the women today are becoming more like them. “Venus de Milo would be much less conspicuous now, were she to adopt the present fashions and walk down the avenue, than she would have been 20 years ago. “Women 20 years ago were dis- torted by their dress. They wore busties and laced their stays tightly. They did everything to conform to an ideal which was in itself hideous. “I should not say that the changes Dr. Sargent speaks of—larger feet, ampler waist and narrower hips— tend to make woman mannish. “True womanliness lies far deeper than physical proportions. It lies in her manner, her thought, and her re- lations toward other people. A wom- an may have as much strength rela- tively as a man. Whether she is wom- anly or not depends upon the way in which she uses it. I think, for in- stance, that the suffragettes of En- gland could use their physical strength to better advantage than by mauling policemen. “If a woman chooses to use her strength in breaking windows of Insurance Against Broken Hearts the Very Latest Thing His son finally becomes engaged.

If she chooses to use it in her home— and there is an opportunity for all the strength and endurance that a woman has in her own sphere—she is showing womanhood.” Dr. Sargent intimates that the ap- proximation of woman physically to the masculine type is man’s own fault. Instead of the hardy tyran* of former ages, who compelled wom- an, if- she wished to survive, to cul- tivate the traits which pleased his masculine egotism, he has become gentler and less masterful and af- forded woman an opportunity to de- velop as she pleases. “In the early history of the race,’ says Dr. Sargent, “women lived only by the grace of the men they were able to please. Through centuries of contact with merciless savages and unscrupulous and _ egotistic men, women have acquired certain mental traits, such ag ability to please, and a faculty of making -a strength by a sort of craft from their very weakness. These traits helped them to survive in the struggte for existence. . “For three thousand years the art of corsetting flourished. Women have laced their children, and nmren, even soldiers, have worn corsets to hance the elegance of their figures, — “Now, however, the hipless woman of the fashion plates, with the larger waist, indicates that woman is de- termined to attain her best physical development.” As a contrast to Rosa Bonheur and Dr. Mary Walker, who wore trousers. are men whose physical resemblance to women, resulting from makeup and feminine garb, is almost convinc- ing. Among these are Julian Bitinge. the female impersonator, and McNair Iigenfritz, the St. Louis pianist. Many men, whom the twentieth century woman derided as old-fash- ioned, lament the passing of the: clinging, fragile type, dependent upon man for protection, and the advent of the self-reliant woman who can thrash a masher and perbaps afford pugilistic protection to her clerkish husband.

This is according to the year, as is a ten million or a thirteen million bale year for the whole country. It accounted for 3,140,000 out of the total erops of 11,426,000 bales reported for 910. 4 The next time Texas makes a new record it is likely to be over 4,500,000 bales in a total American crop of 14,- 000,000 bales, with the “full crop in Texas at least a third of the full crop ited States. 2 * naling has two golden cotton dreams. One is of marketing a State cotton crop of 4,000,000 bales at 20 cents a pound, or $100 a bale, or $400,- 000,000 for the State’s crop.

But if it “ean be done in Texas as the leading ‘cotton State, it will be done through- -out the cotton states. - Nobody knows what to expect of the next 10 years in cotton, except ‘by dealing with what has already *taken place’in the last 10. The facts Sof the last 10 leave no doubt on the “main proposition :nat if Texas and ‘other cotton states go on increasing their cotton mills as they have done, ‘the price of their cotton from the fields will go on rising for at least tén years to come. | SOUTH WANTS HIGH PRICES. ’ ‘The South as a whole wants cot- ton prices to go-on climbing. Every- body does in the cotton states except ‘the Southern cotton mill owners. _ They wish them to go down, but they ‘are still doing this year more than ‘the Farmers’ Educational and Co-op- ‘erative Union (with 2,500,000 mem- ’ Bers reported) to keep them up. * ‘This is the cotton contradiction of » 4910, which means most this year.

At the same time, it is the increase {nm the number of Southern mills and spindles at work in them, which has done most in the last 10 years to force English and German mill own- : | ers to pay higher prices to Southern cotton farmers.

(Bul- letin ‘97, Bureau of the Census, page 33.) é , This is: official information from 1810, exactly a hundred years back of the tire when, with immense im- provements in machinery and: with “hydro-electric horsepower” coming into use, Texas has the double ambi- tion of manufacturing its own cotton crop and“getting 20 cents a~ pound for it “raw.” If those who do not now know how to put $9 worth of 20-cent cotton on their spindles and take it out of the factory door worth $45 will go to the reports of the Treasury at Washing- ton, they may “get a line” on how it was done a hundred years ago, when they were not supposed to be well educated, as we are, by modern improvements. If Texas and the other’ cotton states are supposed to be dreaming opium dreams of expected impossi- bilities for the future, there is no dis- pute now over what has already “come true” from dreams of the same kind. In 1891, Texas had only one cotton mill, with 15,000 spindles, which was one mill less than it had 10 years before. It took a new start and in 1900 it had four mills, with 48,756 spindles. In 1905, it had 13 mills, with 68,170 spindles. These extraordinary increases are all recorded in the regular reports of the Census, including the manufac- turing census of 1905. Since then, the official reports include all cotton manufacturing and consuming estab- lishments as well as “cotton mills proper.” MATHEMATICS OF THE CENSUS. In 1908 Texas was. reported offi- clally with 55 of these cotton-consum- ing establishments and a total of 106,914 spindles consuming Texas cotton. The estimated total for 1910 is 110,000 spindles, but already in 1908 it had more than doubled its to- tal of 1900. When Texas consumes a full third of the number of bales it averages yearly from its own fields, it may be looking back on “20- cent cotton” instead of forward to it. This belongs much more to the mathematics of the Census Bureau’s reports than to theories of higher earnings for Southern cotton farm- ers as a b.essing or a curse to the world’s business. In Texas, they want 16 cents a pound for this 3,140,000 bales this year as badly as they do for their 1,750,000 bales of 1910 cot- ton {n Georgia,.where manufacturers think 10 cents enough. Talent for heated eloquence is be- ing profusely used now on both sides, but when the number of Southern spindles keeps on going up, every ad- ditional bale they use is a bale not shipped to New England, Germany or Liverpool to “overload the mar- ket.” The Liverpool price has been going up as the Southern mills have cut down the number of bales for’ ex- oon shipment on average yearly to- Germany, depends on the number of bales 7 . left over in this country for ex- oa to SSS: MLS : ~

Out of a total crop of 11,426,000 bales grown in 1910, they will probably manufacture not less than 2,300,000 bales. In 18 years the cotton states have increased the amount manu- factured in their own mills from their own fields more than 400 per cent. Texas has increased its cotton-manufacturing capacity over 100 The official December report makes this year’s cotton and worth $900,000,000 to the cotton states. manufactured in Southern mills was $163,368,000 under the manufac- turing census of 1905, the cotton states of 1910 have now made the United States the “Billion Dollar Cotton Country,” as predicted by the Their, own total on the sale of cotton and cotton seed and cotton goods will be over a billion dollars from their 1910 crop.

Reports since 1905 for the “cotton states” only show that they had 8,994,868 in 1906, 9,527,964 in 1907 and 10,200,903 in 1908, all “active,” while reports for previous years had in- cluded all spindles ready for use in the years named, whether active or not. This gives the cotton § states atone an increase of more than 6,000,- 000 spindles in eight years over the total of all the Southern states in 1900. When their cotton factories are re- ported on in the 1910 Census, the cot- ton states will be shown much more than doubling since 1900, with a pres- tnt total reported unofficially at 11,- 234,000, out of the 28,616,000 in the United States. This country now has nearly a fifth of the world’s total, while the cotton states alone have over a tenth of the world’s total in 1900. With the cotton states increasing at the rate of three-quarters of a million spindles a year, each con- suming over 100 pounds of cotton, their record of almost incredible suc- cess in “catching up” with New En- gland, brings them in reach of suc- cess in competition with both Ger- many and England.

But when Franklin left Boston and took his: New En- gland brains to Philadelphia, nis kite string brought down results that are now very troublesome to Fall River, Mass. The use he made of his brains is now beginning the electric age in the factories of the cotton states. ’ SOME ADVANTAGEOUS STRIKES According to Census reports on cvt- ton, the greatest strikes and lockouts in Fall River history took place at a time when it “seemed advantageous” for idle Fall River spindles to help bring down the price of 12-cent cot- ton, which was considered ruinous to Fall River industry. But it is also reported that the greatest immediate increase of spindles at the Sout.: fol- lowed these Fall River lockouts This was followed by a report of the United States Geological Survey, showing that while old handlooms were still being used in the Southern: mountains as “pictured in Egyptian ‘wall paintings,” these same moun- tains can supply from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 horsepower of the kind now called “hydro-electric.” “Hydro-elec- tric” horsepower, due to Franklin, Edison, Tesla and others, is begin- ning a new age of miracles for the world in everything now, if Tesla is half right in his expectations. But in cotton during the last five years, the South has results instead of expectations.

HOW AN AVERAGE tur:! the cotton spindles ai th: South which make cotton products for sale while their increased demand helps to put up the price of every bale of cotton the “‘one-mule farmer’ pro- duces. When the manufacturing census of 1905 reported only 1,031,842 horse- power, including water, steam and electric, used in all the cotton mills of the United ‘States, the geological report showed more than four times this great total going to waste. in the cotton states east of the Missis- sippi alone. The cotton states began building hydro-electric dams. Southern cotton mills increased their total of electric horsepower from 7126 in 1900 to 28,078 in 1905. Probably single states now have more than this horsepower in their cotton mills, In the Southeastern states, the wa- ter from the mountain tops on its way to the sea has a fall of fully 2000 feet in about 250 miles. The streams of the Central and Southwestern cot- ton states have less fall, but short distances, but on June 16, last year, “manufacturing in Chattanooga en- tered a new epoch,” with 56,000 hyd- ro-electric horsepower ready to be wired into the city from the Tennes- see River. This one work, “second in immen- sity only to Niagara Falls,” had foubled the electric horsepower used in all Southern cotton mills in 1905. Last year, when a new cotton mill was to be opened on the Catawba River at “Hickory City,” as “the largest ot the kind in the South,” the Catawba was dammed at Horseford Shoals and work begun to wire 6000 hydro-electric horsepower three miles to the mill. In January, 1910, it was said that “in addition there will be enough power from the same hydro- electric plant to run every factory in the City of Hickory.” Yet who had ever heard until] then of “Hickory City?” In 1906, the average cost of \abor for running each spindle at thé South was only $3.42, as With 1 New England, w it was tt $4.15 for

Georgia increased from 445,452 in 1890 to 1,316,000 in 1905, and to 1,792,- 000 in 1908. North Carolina increased from 337,786 in 1890 to 1,133,432 in 1900 and to 1,792,790 in 1908: South

has done in 20 years, with all its great “hydro-electric power” from the Ozarks still wasting. At the rate of gain in other cotton states, Texas may have its million spindles at work on its own cotton before some outsiders” begin to sus- pect what the Southwest is doing. What the cotton states as a whole have already done is to begin driving New England, Old England and Ger- many back to their main entrench- ments. Inside, of these they are safe in their knowledge of how to make and market the finest goods which can be made from cotton at all.

ROUND squirrels are among the most destructive of our native mammals, causing losses to agriculture amounting to upward of $10,000,000 each year, ac- cording to C. Hart Merriam, consult- ing biologist of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Most of the Western states are overrun by them. In Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ne- braska and Oklahoma they are par- ticularly numerous, and they extend all the way to California. In that state, because of soil and climatic conditions, they prosper almost against the possibility of extinction, although they are being poisoned by the wholesale. : Ground squirrels are good to eat, and Mr. Merriam says that a few years ago they were regularly sold in the San Francisco markets. They have always been prized by the In- dians, who roast them over the coals and devour them eagerly.

Question Now Raised by Theologians---St. Louis Min- isters Who Believe HE Did-- No Record in the Gospels--- Wit and Humor of “The Man of Sorrows.” {D Christ ever ‘laugh or even [smite This question is now being agitated by theologians. The Rev. T. EB. Bridgett, S. SS. R., in an article in the Dublin Review, not only denies flatly that the Naza- rene ever laughed and doubts wheth- er He smiled, but gravely argues, in 14 & the question: “Can Chris- tians Consistently Laugh or Smile?” He concludes-that they may, because too much should not be exacted of human weakness and frailty.

Unfortunately, I am not aware that even one of the fathers, in the hundreds of pondrous tomes that they have penned. on the life and doings o* the -God-man, has devoted so much as a line to the present subject. The quotation with which the Fortnightly Review originated this discussion, and which it hesitatingly at- tributed to “one of the fathers,” is strikingly like a sentence of a description of our Lord, which goes the rounds of the press every few years, purporting to have been written by a Roman officer who was in Palestine during the lifetime of Jesus. It recites that He was often seen to weep, but never known to smile. This description of the Person was probably written by. some medieval schoolboy. No copy ©* €hé line can be found ‘that’ antedates the “eleventh century. It would scarcely be proper to dignify his essay by classifying it among the works of the fathers. There is another somewhat similar expression in one of the hom- ilies of St. John Chrysostom; but as tle Saint ‘s speaking against un- timely and immoderate laughter, it would seem more njust to apply such an extract against the modest smile. In the very homily (XV to the Hebrews), he defends even laughter: “There is no harm in laughter; the harm is when it is beyond measure and out of season. Laughter has been implanted in us, that when we see our friends after a long time, we may laugh; that when we see any person down- cast and fearful, we may relieve them by our smile * * * that “the soul may sometimes be refreshed.” Finding no one to direct us among our legitimat guides, we may freely choose our Own opinion. I am strongly inclined to the view that the Savior often smiled. i have weighed the reasons for the -con- rary opinion, and find them answerable; but I could not naturally plain how He drew the children to Him without a smile, nor how Je allured their* parents away from their friends, their household eares and their labors three days into the desert, before the multi- plication of the loaves. He attended the marriage feasts and other rejoicings.‘ Did He _ keep a solemn countenance amid the merriment? I think He was t ‘human, too considerate, too kind. Though His heart may have bee breaking with the ingratitude and the sins of men, His countenance was at the service of those about Him, and lighted up their pious glad- ness with His smiles. - §t. Paul says that He was like us in-all things, save only. sin. Now, is there anything more sweetly human than smiles? Coulc He be unlike us in this? Though I respect the vi2ws of those who refuse smiles «to the majesty His Divinity, I shall be slow to accept as an opinion that which would rob Him of the winsomeness of His complete human nature, / | J A CONVENTIONAL et oe . ae — rn - 2.

Be- stowing the nickname of Peter (Greek “Petros”—a rork) upon Simon Bar-jona, He said: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.” St. John reports that Chrisi made the pun in Syro-Chaldaic, by bestowing upon Simon the surname of Cephas, which, in that language, means a rock. “May not a smile of paternally ten- der raillery,” asks one critic, “have accompanied Jesus’ bestowal of the nickname ‘Boanerges,’ upon John and Jaines, the most ardent of the dis- ciples? ‘Sons of Thunder’ is the humorously exaggerated title which He gave them.” On one occasion Christ condescend- éd for a moment to tease Philip, a disciple, according to St. John. It was just before He performed the There are at least one or two instances which clearly show that He indulged in humor.

Matthew relates that Peter and Andrew were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers. “And Jesus saith unto them, Fol- low Me and I will make ou fishers of men.” * Luke’s version is that Peter was astonished at a great catch of fish which he drew from the lake when Jesus directed him to cast his net. “Fear not,” saiad Christ, “from . henceforth thou shalt catch men.” The Pharisees criticised Jesus for His pleasure in merrymakings and feasts, and one can imagine His smile as He pointedly exposed their. incon- sistency. “John the Baptist,’’ He said, “came neither eatihg nor drinking, and they say he hath a devil. “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous and a wincbibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.” hen a woman taken in sin was brought. to Christ, with .the question as to whether she should be stoned, it is related that He stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them It may be conceived that a thoughtful. smile illumined His face MY CHURCH ~ as he meditated the crushing. reply which sent EL.is enemies creeping from His presence, one by one: ‘So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up himself and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let aim first cast a stone at her.” There wac wit in the clever snare which Jesus set for the chief priests, who asked Him by what authority He taught. “The baptism of John,” asked He, “whence was it? from heaven or of men?” “And they reasoned among them- selves,” Matthew relates, “saying, If we shall say, From heaven, He will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? * “But if we shall say, Of men; we shall fear the people; for all hold John as.a prophet. And they an- swered Jesus and said, We cannot tell.” Christ, as the Gospels show, ex- tricated himself from intended traps as easily as He set them for others. The question, “Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?” was ap- parently designed to entangle Him with the Roman authorities. Similarly, itis claimed, did He de- light in mystifying His hearers with such tropes as “Ye must be born again,’ “I am the bread of life” and “Ye must eat of my flesh and drink of my blood.” When Christ met a woman of Sa- maria, He asked her to get her hus- band and return. She answered that she had no husband. “Thou hast well said, I have.no husband,” was Christ’s reply, maybe with a smile. “For thou hast had five husbands, but he thou now hast is not thy husband.” Rejected by His brothers and sis- ters in Nazareth,and finding Himself “unable to do any mighty works there,” Jesus said, perhaps with an inflection of humor: “A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own house.” — “One would say,” writes William Marion Reedy, “that it is almost im- possible to conceive of the Savior’s not smiling as He narrated the para- bles, or as He spoke to the rich young man, or as He said ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,’ or as he made the pun in ‘Thou art Peter and upon this rock,’ ete.

He horrified them once by de- claring: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” “Forty and six years,” exclaimed the Jews, “was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?” “But Jesus spake of the Seraslie of his body.” St. John explains. hd certainly is humor in the parables.

Funny thing for the jolly old cove to do, eh? Fact, nevertheless. - - It appears that after Santa Clause had re- turned from his 1909 tour of the United States, which, by the way, was the longest and most popular in his history—crowded houses every- where—he got the quaint idea that the extensive Kris Kringle workshops hadn’t been busy enough with tin soldiers and some other. things. But being in doubt about upsetting the traditions of ‘centuries, he took counsel. He took a run down to Worcester, Mass., which . is one of the first stopping places on his regular Christmas eve route, and had a secret conference with Prof. William Burnham and Dr. Theo- date L. Smith, the latter being a woman, on the general subject of toys. “I’m the founder and sole proprietor of the Christmas ‘oy works,” observed the venerable rt Advice Before Laying in His Well, these two professors talked it over with Santa Claus.

The children’s institute of Clark University had settled that question, and all.that was needed was to get the co-operation of their visitor. “Suppose,” gaid Santa Claus, marching a squad of little bluecoats in front of the other brave little soldiers, “suppose you drop me a hint or two, and I'll pass it along over my own signa. ture to my special agents—fathers, mothers ‘brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins.

For the young child the umping-jack or the simple cart is better to ievelop his mind than the mechanically pro- pelled train of cars.” “My stock of carts this year is the best I ever made,” said Santa Claus. Along the same line of developing children by the right sort of toys is the opinion of Dr. Theodate, L. Smith, who, at tHe important visitor’s request, went somewhat more into the detail of the theories. At the right hand of Prof. Burnham and ag librarian of the Children’s Institute, Dr. Smith is one of the few women to attain high standing in the purely scientific study of childhood. “Regarding the attitude of children toward toys,’ said Dr. Smith. looking into the merry eyes of the visitor, “it has been established that the toy too nearly perfect-is least desirable This is shown, no matter which of the three great play theories be accepted. “There is the Schiller-Spencer theory of play as the working off of an overflow of energy. Then there is the theory of Prof, Karl Croos ‘that play is anticipatory of the future of the racq Finally, there is, of course, the recapitu- latory theory that in play children go oven again the past history of.the race from the time of primitive man to modern civilization. “It would seem that one might combine all three of these theories to explain children’s plays and their use of toys.” “Santa Claus moved the soldier across the table, Don’t mind what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m listening.” : “It has been said that home-made toys are the most highly appreciated by children,” Dr. Smith went on. “This, in a sense, is true, though a child that was obliged to content him- self with his own self-contrived toys would naturally enough envy his next-door neighbor's children if they had beautiful toys from the shops. Yet the possession of such toys would soon weary him unless he in turn could show them off to other children.” “I’ve heard of cases like that, too,” said Santa Claus. “The same is true of girls. A little girl given a perfectly equipped dolihouse will become tired of it, and, save on state occasions, when she is showing off her possessions to callers, will prefer to play with her dolls in some corner of her play- room. “Also, she will prefer, not the highly expensive French doll out of all her collection, but will be most attentive to the lecs beautiful doll that she has dressed in clothing of her own make. “If anybody wishes to give a doll’s house.as a present, I think the best way is to give the child simply a frame constructed box, divided into com- partments as rooms. Then let the girl paper the rooms herself and make her own furniture out of cardboard or similar easily - managed material. She will not lose interest in that doll’s house as long as she remains in the doll playing period.” “But, somehow,” interrupted Santa Claus, “I’m kind of partial to neat dolls.” “The reason for this preferencé of boys and girls for toys which they have made over is not hard to find,” resumed the Doctor. to inventive and imaginative faculties, and those should be encouraged as much as possible. “The healthy, normal child will not long remain satisfied with a toy that goes through compliceted motions by means of a mechanism. That is why mechanical toys are so often broken. Also it is a very good reason, all quéstion of expense aside, for giving children toys that they can handle and move about. Such toys occasion spontaneous mo- tor activity arid they give play to the creative in- stinct. “The normal child’s imagination is very active, and with toys of this.sort he can create any number of situations to fit his varying moods. He soon tires of the mechanical toy after he has geen it go through its allotted motions, and he wants to make it do something else. “On the whole, I think the average American child has too many and too expensive toys. Witb our children Christmas is becoming a time of get- ting instead of giving. We talk a great deal of the toys we are to give to the children, but we do not think of the healthy effect on the child if we should see that he gets the impression he is to give something.” “It is due , “Plenty more where + ¥ “ea x tp % . hee ¢ re “At times I have more than [ can do, and *% li help from the children themselves would be fine’ /very dearth of ort ‘worked by a weal Thristmas.

a gw 3 33 33% New French “Manias” That ‘Have Representatives | in ‘St. Louis: ead really ‘seems rather tough to be 1 obliged to class these three gen- tlemen as, respectively, a stoma- dactylomaniac, a mista¥ostrepsoma- niac, and a harmoniomaniac we are told. And yet that is just what they are. Dr. Jules Soury of the Toulouse (France) Medical School has so designated them. What’s. more, the eminent French medico says each of them is “of un- sound mind!” . : Each of them lives in St. Louis, Read and you will recognize them all. In the first place, let us examine the stomadactylomaniac, He is the gent who has a habit of biting his index finger. If he chews his nails at odd moments he is an onyxopha- gite—which is bad enough, goodness knows. Secondly we have the mistakostrep- somaniac, He is the man wlLo con- stantly twirls the ends of his mous- tache. The rophomaniac habitually ~whistles or hisses between his teeth or “buzzes” or “hums” when absorbed — ie KMD yi <a ey in thought or in an uncomfortable mental condition, The harmonioma- niac ° ‘drums” on the table, beats a “tattoo on his desk with his — or —if he be a woman and a stenogra- pher—uses nis lead pencil as a muai- cal instrument during the pauses of your dictation. These are only a few of the almost innumerable forms of mania that have been classified. In fact, accord- ing to the medical dictum, we all have our manias at times. Or, in the language of the Quaker, ‘‘SSometimes 1 think everyone is crazy except thee and me, and sometimes I think thee is just a little bit off.” Public readings and lectures on agricultural subjects are'to be con- ducted on Sundays in the Imperial Museum, St. Petersburg.

A motor and spring contrivance underneath the table work the checks, bonds or sheets into the proper position for the signatures, and behold! the trust head is soon out in pursuit of another elusive dc. lar, where he otherwise would have spent hours or days at the purely clerical occupation of signing his name. :

St. Louis Man’e Curious Coin Belt CURIOUS HAWAIAN BELT. B, COFFIN street, St. Louis, furmerly a ® soldier in Hawaii and the Philippines, is the possessor of a curi- ous belt which may have belonged to a queen, if its true history were known. The belt is composed of silver coins, attached to one another by little silver rings, which were coined at the San Francisco Mirt in 1883, at Inatance of King Kalakaua I te eee isianta... -~.. the belt are two silver dolars, ee raises. over 7,000,000 acres wee half-do.lars, two qyartars and 58 dimes. Kalakaua T had designed the currency of-his kingdom on the metric system in vogué in the United States. The coins are very | pretty.. On the King Kalakaua, with his name and the date of the coinage, The reve:se contains the words “Ua Mau Ke eaoka aina i ka pono,” which means “In God We Trust,” and the coat of arms of the kingdom, beneath which are the words “Akahi Dala,” meaning one dollar. The other coins are similar, ex- cept in size, and the dime is called ‘imi Keneta,” the cuarter is “Hap- aha,” the half-dollar ix “Hapalua.” eS in was a sergeant in Com- paay F.

All of which will be due to the ef- fect of shoes. The Indian will es- cape until a much later’ period, be- cause he was the last person in the world to wear shoes, Dr. F. R. Griffith, in the Medical Record, re- cently reported a child of eleven | months with toes like those illustrat- ed in the sketch. Two of them had grown together. The mother stated that she was likewise afflicted, and that the toes on her mother’s feet were similarly joined. Dr. Griffith advanced the theory outlined above —that at some time in the future, owing to the use of shoes, the toes of the human race would become fused on each individua] foot. He admits that he was “jeered at” for his pains. - @mine his own toes just after tak- of 8569 Condtit obverse side is the profile bust of the kingdom was overthrown 2nd tne palace of the Queen looted. It is be- lieved that it was part of the prop- erty of the Queen, and that Kalakaua had had it made for his mother, the Queen, when he had the coins struck off. This is carried out from the fact that on the buckle is fastened one of the gold buttons which was worn by the King on his uniforms. Mr. Corbin paid the old native woman $0 for the belt, and has since then been offered much more for it, as the coins of which it is com- posed are now yery rarv. TROUBLES OF THE TAILOR. ANY tallors declare that St. Louis men are exceptionally hard to fit, but it is entirely possible that tailors have a habit of making remarks like that about their customers in any city in the country, vellectively, and not indi- vidually, is meant. But the specific charges against St. Louis men, from the tailor’s stand- point, is that they are tod fat, When

a man begins to take ou weight it - shows first at the belt line, then gn the shoulders'and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs. In the meantime the tailor has his troubles in keeping his customer from 100«- ing top-heavy. The tailor is sup- poséd to take an imperfect anatomy and shape garments over it with such nicety as to produce a superb figure It’s a trying job.
