RACE SUICIDE A Caucasian Woman of the Buckeye State Notes Interesting Facts of the Colored and White Women on the Above Topic--Death of Negro who performed Heroic Deed. VOL. XII. RACE S A Caucasian Woman of the Interesting Facts of the Women on the Abolition Negro who perfor In the Ohio State Journal of Columbus, Ohio, a white woman of that city had the following to say on race suicide: Modern women active in society and clubs are scored for avoiding motherhood by "Olga Louise Cadijah," under which pen names a Columbus author has written a phamphist entitled, "Turn on the Light." American women, the author says, are so engaged with club and social duties that they feel they cannot afford to give up the time that children require. Contrasting the opposite tendency in colored women, the writer says: "The white woman is either prohibited by the insane love of society or the intemperate devotion to women's club from becoming a mother, or, if she does, the same agencies restrict the size of her family. "With race suicide prevalent among the whites; with early marriages and prolific maturity among Negro woman, one finds the strongest argument to substantiate the claim that ultimately America will be a black people country." The writer says that while the legitimate birth rate is decreasing, the illegitimate rate is increasing. "Race suicide, unless checked, means that our morals will be blunted to the degree of dumb animals." It is stated. "It means that in the next century America will begin to take her place in history along side of Rome. Ministers should preach early marriages Early marriages are love matches. Late marriages, in most cases, are marriages of conveniences. "Emanating from race suicide are all the crimes recorded in criminology, prostitution, infanticide and murder. What fills our insane assylums, our jails, our imbecile asylums, and hangman's scaffolds? If you would seek the primary cause, go study race suicide, the crime of the 20th century, the crime against man, the crime against God. "It is the minister of the gospel whom we must look for an awakening of the public to the crime." Efforts to learn the identity of the writer yesterday failed In a recent issue of the Times- dispatch, of Richmond, Va.. appeared the following editorial. In recording the death of Albert Comfort, the oldest colored man in Spottsylvania county, our Fredericksburg corresedondent relates that during the war when rations were scarce, this noble colored man borrowed a team and wagon, went to Fredericksburg and recured supplies from the Federal troops on the ground that they were intended for needy colored people, but in point of facts he made his perilous journey on behalf of his mistress and her children of whom, in the absence of the white men of the family, he was protector. This was done at the risk of his own life, for before he reached home he was arrested, court-martialed and sentenced to be shot but upon pleas of prominent citizens of Spottsylvania the War Department related and set the noble prisoner free. This was no exceptional black man. He was a type. There weret housands upon thousands of other black men like him throughout the length and breadth of the Southern States loyal and devout to the families who owned them, choosing bondage such as it was, and affliction great as it was, with old miss and the children rather than the pleasures of freedom at the North to be obtained by desertion. The war produced many heroines among the women, and it is right that their glorious deeds should be sung. But never to be forgotten in that struggle are the Albert Comforts, whose faces were dark but whose hearts were equal to any sacrifice. We should like to see in every State of the South a monument to the memory of those devout heroes in black." A GOOD ADDRESS. Mayor George R. Belding in delivering the address of welcome to the Negro Baptist convention which was held in Hot Springs, Ark., recently, he said: "As Chief executive of the city; I have welcomed to the city many conventions, but none gave me more pleasure than to bid welcome those who were working to save a dying world. "I believe that the race problem will solve itself with these two things—education and industry. We have partly solved it here in Hot Springs, for we are too busy to have race trouble. We have some of the best Negroes in the country in Hot Springs. They own their own homes, are paying taxes and attending to their own business. We want to get rid of the bad element of all races, and we believe that your own people are willing to help us because you have your own sons and daughters to protect. The whole Negro race should not be condemned because you have one or more bad Negroes. We hope your stay here will result in much good."

Non-Appreciative Under the above caption there is a strong and sensible editorial in the Washington Bee of November 25.1905, from which the following is an extract: --- "Every person who does not publish a paper or who has never had any knowledge or experience in the publication of a newspaper can always suggest to a publisher an idea as to how a paper should be published. There have been some excellent papers published in this city, such as some colored people regard clean papers. Their idea of a clean paper is one that does not expose their rascality. When ever a paper published by colored men will publish the truth about an individual, the paper is regarded a dirty sheet. On the other hand, if a paper published by white men exposes the wrongs of the colored man, the natural presumption is that it is true, and the colored man gets just what he deserved. Why should any race of people be allowed to commit an THE NEW YORK TIMES widely and favorably known in the college, as a political speaker, educa- man in the central west occupa- tion of the public eye.

Is it just and proper to a community that any man or woman should be vindicated of an offence of which he or she is guilty? Colored churches do not support their own denominational papers.

Texas on a charge of attempt criminal assault. The prosecuting witnesses are three little white girls. Zanesville, Ohio., Dec. H.—Rev. Jas. Argo, pastor of the Brighton Presbyterian church, preached to a large congregation last evening from the theme: "Our Brethren in Black." He said among other things: The colored men of the United States are of more worth to the country than all the millionaires that live." When the discourse was ended about half the congregation congratulated the minister, while the other half was plainly dissatisfied, and today murmurings of dissent are heard. The congregation is a large and influential one. Through the instrumentality of Dr. Bruce Evans, Hon. Henry L. West, commissioner of the District. President Roosevelt has written to Chairman Shouts, approving the advisability of employing young colored graduates from the Armstrong Manual Traning school as Stearm Engineers on the Panama Canal. Mr. Roosevelt urges that consideration be given these young men's applications. Mr. Shouts has referred the matter to Chief Engineer Stevens, who, on December 15th will take it up with Messrs Bruce and West. Joilet. Ill.—Rather than allow a woman's body to be interred in the potter's field, where up to this time only male convicts have been buried. Warden Murphy of the State Penitentiary swallowed his racial prejudice and purchased a lot in the Oakwood Cenetary for Mrs. Mary Terry, the colored woman serving a sentence for murder. Mrs. Terry is the woman who, after her husband proved faithless and married another, declared that she had confessed the crime to save nim from the scaffold. Mr. Murphy secured the prison chaplain and had a Christian service read over the corpse. None of the former friends of the dead woman claimed the body. Chicago, Ill.,—Dr. George C. Hall, the noted Chicago physician and surgeon, of whom we have frequently spoken in these columns, has added another feather to his cap, so to speak. His fame being national, he was called all the way to Decatur. Ala., to perform a difficult operation upon Mrs. John S. Guthrie—one that had never before been attempted by the ablest surgeons of that section of the NO. 13. country, and seldom successfully performed anywhere outside of the best equipped hospitals of the large cities. It was the opening up of the abdomen, cutting down and removing a tumor, sewing up the cavity again, paving up the way for a complete restoration to health. The operation is known as abdominal hysterectomy, and was for the removal of a fibromyomats. Assisted by two other physicians, Dr. Hall's thorough knowledge of the case, and of gynecological surgery, enamble him to remove this growth in just seventeen minutes from the first stroke of his knife. This remarkable feat has attracted the attention of the medical profession throughout a wide area in Alabarra and Dr. Hall's praises are being sung by the leading citizens of both races. Dr. Hall is to make an extended tour of the South shortly, after which he will open a post-graduate school for colored physicians at Chicago, in connection with Provident Hospital, the best known institution of its kind under Negro management outside of the national capital. Washington, Dec. 11.—The Supreme Court of the United States today reversed the ruling of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Alabama in the case of Thomas M. Riggins, and remanded the case to the Alabama court, with directions to squash the writ of habeas corpus sued out by Riggins and dismissed the petition for such a writ. This case presented the broad question of the right of the Negro to protection against lynching under the Federal Constitution and laws and thus involved the jurisdiction of the Federal courts in such cases. The court did not, however, enter upon these questions, but based its decision upon the technical ground that the proceedings by means of a writ of habeas corpus were irregular. Riggins is a white man and was indicted by the Grand Jury for the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Alabama on the charge of conspiring with others to lynch a Negro named Maples, at Huntsville, Ala., in September, 1904. He presented a petition to the Circuit Court praying to be released on a writ of habeas corpus, contending that, even if true, the offense charged was "no denial to Maples, a person of African descent by reason of his race, of the right, privilege and immunity of a trial by jury to determine his guilt or innocence of the charge of murder." He challenged the jurisdiction of the court and when his writ was refused, appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The prosecution of the Federal Court was based upon the provisions of Sections 5508 and 5509 of the Revised Statutes and involved the construction of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution.

Rolls darkness about like a billow, browning men catch in their breath? Is it night, and deep night night of dark errors, Of crosses, of pitfalls and bars? Then lift up your face from your terr- rors, For heaven alone holds the stars! Lo! shaggy beard shepherds, the fast- ness— Lorn, desolate Syrian sod; The darkness, the midnight, the vast- ness— That vast, solemn bore a God! The night brought us God; and the Savior Lay down in a cradle to rest; A sweet crub Babe in behavior, So that all baby-world might be blest, —Joaquin Miller. A man playing a horn. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace, and good will toward men. If we keep Christmas in the spirit that prevailed at its inception there is the keynote that must attune all—individuals, communities and nations—to its genuine commemoration. That was the proclamation that inaugurated the Christian era, and that is the inspiration that has made it the mightiest power of the succeeding twenty centuries. Empire, to which the ambition of statesmen is constantly turning, has been conceived, waxed, waned and fallen into ruin time and time again. The lower motives of mammon have striven to dazzling results and vanished. Institutions, nations, learning, have risen and fallen. But the power of the humble doctrine of peace, good will and Christian charity has never failed when sincerely and faithfully adhered to. The Star of Bethlehem has outshone the stars of empire, learning and commerce, simply because the spirit, of the first is divine and unperishable and that of the others is earthly and mortal. What, then, is the true Christmas? Not even the most shallow can, if challenged to thought, see in it only an occasion for selfish feasting and thoughtless merriment. It is clearly a feast of good will, a celebration of peace, and acknowledgment of divinity. But do we celebrate the birth of Christianity if we confine the peace and good will to individual relations and hear of their guiding power only in the churches? Think of what it would mean if the doctrine proclaimed at Bethlehem should rule all the organizations of mankind; if commerce and politics were governed by the Golden Rule, and if governments stood only for the practice instead of the mere profession of peace on earth and good will, not alone to their own people, but to all the people of the earth to which the glad news was brought on the day which Christendom now commemorates! It is a sad commentary on human frailty that the great organizations of Christian humanity, in governments and commercial concentrations, rarely, if ever, are ruled by the principles they profess. Many an individual guides his life by sincere Christianity; but the government or corporation that shapes its policy by the guiding principles of peace, good will and the Golden Rule is unique, if not absolutely unknown. Yet we need not be discouraged at the failure to realize what is professed. Some progress can be seen, though it has taken many centuries to show it. When nations are making steady though halting attempts to abolish the heathenism of war there is hope that they may eventually reach the actual practice of the doctrine they have formally acknowledged for ages Glory to God; on earth peace, and good will toward men! The closer the approach we can make to that standard the nearer will the real Christmas bring its great joy to all men. Frankincense was part of the bagl's gift on the first Christmas day because it had "an odor of sweet savor," as an old legend says. It is the desire and effort to contribute to the happiness of others that makes Christmas the most delightful of all our holidays. Children at first perhaps, think most of the gifts that they may receive, but every wise parent teaches the child to be a giver as well as a receiver, and to find the deeper joy of the Christmas time in doing something for the pleasure of some one else. The maxim, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," is one of those beautiful statements that is easy to approve, but one never knows how true it is until one finds it verified in experience. We often make the mistake of thinking that "giving" consists in the bestowal of some material thing. But it really consists in devotion to another of what we have; it may be money, or time, or skill, or thoughtfulness, or patience. There is no one so poor that he cannot give another something. That is the real joy of Christmas time. If we carried the Christmas spirit into all the days of the year we would make life infinitely sweeter and happier. Denver, Colo Phone Main 3770. J. H.

They were showing the baby off to a group of Admiring Friends. The poor kid was made to go through his paces like a trained dog. "How does the chicken go?" prompted mamma. "Chirp, chirp," said baby, obediently. "Ah, the little dear," exclaimed the Admiring Group. "How does doggy go?" "Bow, wow, wow," placidly replied the Prodigy. "Oh, you little wizzikin," fussed the Admirers, with true politeness. "And how does papa go?" And here a funny look came into baby's eyes, as he straightened up and said, soberly: "Shut up."

COLORADO STATESMAN CHRISTMAS GREETING The Colorado Statesman extends to its subscribers, readers, advertisers, patrons and friends, both in and out of the state, "A Merry Christmas." This has been a busy year for all. Prosperity has been general, crops good. Everybody has had work, received good wages and are prepared to pay their bills and have a good time. The Colorado Statesman joins with you in making the holidays a happy occasion, accept our greetings, forget your troubles and be happy. Again, Merry Christmas to you. CHRISTMAS JOYS. The holiday or Holy day season is the happiest event of the year. Hence it is usual to call it "Merry Christmas." It marks the highest and most joyous occasion in the calendar. During the preceding twelve months the hearts and minds of busy people have been burdened with business responsibilities and care, but at the Christmas tide the burdened hearts are loosened, cares are relaxed and the pent up spirit leaps forth into spontaneous rejoicing. To make the children happy ought to be the first concern and chief delight of all. Big children, little children, orphans, bachelors, old maids, grandmas and everybody ought to have the privilege of sharing in the Christmas joys. It should be the glad event of the year as it represents a significant occasion, "Heaven's best gift to earth." Without which there would be few things to make glad the hearts of the weary. School boys and girls, teachers, servants and laborers ought to turn aside from dull routine and crowd into the Christmas tide many happy hours of mirth and pleasure. Of course Christmas eve, or the days previous prepares the way for our Christmas joys as at this time our heads and pocket-books are strained to get presents for loved ones at home or abroad. When we know that they are happy we cannot easily restrain the emotion that arises in our own souls. None are too poor to give something. It is not what you give, but the spirit in which you give it that determines the result. Let every one resolve to be happy by making others so. WELCOME DR. WASHINGTON A petition is being circulated at the capitol, city hall, chamber of commerce and among the best citizens of Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, inviting Booker T. Washington, president of the Negro Business League, to Colorado to speak in the above-named three cities. The coming of Dr. Washington at this time would mean more than anything else to arouse interest in Negro enterprises in the process of organization or about to be organized in Colorado. The colored people are just now awakening to their opportunities in the West. It is better late than never, but once thoroughly aroused to the importance of this subject there is no doubt but that they will move forward along commercial lines with great rapidity. The Negro has both experience and ability but he has been slow to apply his knowledge in this direction, but now that he begins to see the importance of doing something himself, he will be certain to demonstrate his power. All over the country the Negro is asking "Why don't we incorporate and do business?" and young men, professional men and leaders are getting their heads together. Before another decade we shall see something done to the credit of the race. Welcome Dr. Washington. The Colorado Statesman bids you thrice welcome. Bishop Abram Grant, D. D., was signally honored in Texasas during the session of the Texas Annual Conference. After visiting the Northeast Texas Conference at Eunis, Texas. Desiring to leave San Antonio on Tuesday night in order to be present at the Texas Conference which met in Beaumont, Texas., on Wednesday, he applied to the agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad for sleeping-car accommodations. He was informed that it was against the laws of the state to sell the same to Afro-Americans, but that since Bishop Grant was known so well and so highly respected a special chair car would be attached to the rear of the train, for the bishop's special use, and when the train pulled out at night there was a special chair car on the rear and Bishop A Grant of the A. M. E. church was the occupant of the same. SILVERTON NOTES Mr. Kitt left Silverton last week to spend the winter in New Mexico. Mr. Slaughter, who has been attending Western University, arrived on a visit to his parents. Mrs. Smith of Telluride, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Bryant, will remain in Silverton all winter. Rev. Sanders preached Sunday night to a very attentive congregation. Sister Elliott led the singing. The trustees are making a special effort to pay off every debt by the first of the year; $111 was raised last week. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant will spend the holidays with Mr. Bryant's mother in Texas, departing from Silverton some time next week. Mr. Alexander is the agent for a number or fine Christmas books. Be sure and give him an order when he calls to see you. Mr. William Brown, who is ill with pneumonia, was removed from his home to Wilkinson's hospital. He is improving very fast. Pneumonia is quite prevalent this winter and people cannot exercise too much care in the way of exposing themselves to the weather. Within the past week twelve victims have been claimed by the dreaded disease. Pad for Fountain Pen. A business woman who finds it necessary to carry a fountain pen wraps it in a piece of chamois and thereby saves her handkerchiefs and other feminine effects from many an ink stain. However, the chamois soon becomes saturated with ink, stiff and unpleasant and must be renewed often. A better case can be made of inch wide ribbon lined with stockinette rubber cloth and packed with a bit of absorbent cotton at the leaky end of the pen. This will keep the pen always dry to the fingers, as the cotton can be changed without trouble and the case itself need never be soiled. If you have a male friend who is addicted to the fountain pen habit, you can endear yourself to him by presenting him with such a case, and thus saving his short ribs from many an inky bath whenever he happens to put the pen upside down in his waistcoat pocket. French Wit. Clyde Fitch was discussing French wit. "The wit of France," he said, "won't bear transplanting. We shouldn't like it here. It is too subtle, too unexpected, too delicate, and, above all, too wicked. "I heard yesterday a French witticism that exemplifies well the Gallis qualities of subtlety, delicacy and wickedness. "Two clubmen meet, and the first says: 'What is the matter, Charles? You look blue. Has your wife caught you kissing that pretty governess of yours?' "Charles groaned. 'Worse than that,' he replied. 'The pretty governess caught me kissing my wife.'" HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH DEAF. Their Infirmity Gives Them a Hardy Fixed Expression. "That isn't a good picture," said the photographer, with an air of apology. "The man was deaf." "It gives his face a tense, strained look," said the photographer. "All deaf persons have that expression when placed before a camera. They sit with their heads tilted forward and eyebrows uplifted, as if waiting for the command to look pleasant. Generally, I suppose, that is what they are waiting for. But even after I have given the order to brace, their muscles refuse to relax. "What's that?" says the deaf man when he sees my lips move. "Look pleasant!" I shout again. "Oh,' says he. "He takes his hand from behind his ear and tries to assume a beaming countenance, but he only compromises on a fixed glare. None of the devices known to the photographic trade can dispel that. In fact, the more 'business' I introduce to charm my subject into a joyful state the more rigid his facial muscles become. He is listening always for further instructions. Whether they come or not, the look of expectancy is there. For that reason the deaf are the hardest people in the world to photograph. If an artist's reputation depended upon the pictures he makes of them he would soon be obliged to go out of business." Ministers Late Risers "Ministers is the latest risers. Doctors comes next," said the cook. She was entertaining the maids from next door. As she bustled about getting the tea and cake ready she talked incessantly, like a machine. The maids listened, their eyes fixed on the collation that each moment grew more tempting under her hand. "Some ministers don't rise till 10," she said. "There's hardly one of them that you'll find up by 8. Nine or half-past is their average hour. "You see, they don't have no office to go to at a certain time. They have no early appointments that must be kept. They have no clerks that they must look after. Consequence is, they become the latest risin' class of men on earth. "I've worked around considerable in my time. I've had forty-seven places, all told. Some has been with doctors, some with business men and eleven with ministers. The ministers is the best to live with. They are so considerate and generous and they have such perfect dispositions. If they would only get quit of this lazy habit of loafin' away the morning in bed they'd be a class without a fault." Bird Was Removed A woman rushed into a fashionable millinery establishment which she had left only an hour before with a new hat that cost her $75. She had returned to discard the elaborate headgear. "Why, madam, what is the trouble with this hat?" the milliner asked. "What is the matter?" gasped the purchaser. "There is much the matter. Why, I would not wear that again until that bird with the big wing is removed or set in a different position." "But that is the style," said the milliner. "Style or no style it has got to go," said the purchaser. "I will never wear that hat until I can go about without the wings of birds sticking in the eyes of men, and especially horrid men like the horrid one that told me that 'one bird in the bush is worth two in a hat.'" The bird in the hat was removed. **Seedtime and Harvest.** As ever his furrowed fields, which lie Beneath a coldly dropping sky, Yet chill with Winter's melted snow, The husbandman goes forth to sow; Thus, Freedom, on the bitter blast The ventures of thy seed we cast, And trust to warmer sun and rain To swell the germ, and fill the grain. Who calls thy glorious service hard? Who boasts it not its own reward, Who, for its trials, counts it less A cause of praise and thankfulness? It may not be our lot to wield. The eye in the ripened field, Nor ours to bear, on summer eve. The reaper's song among the sheaves; Yet where our duty's task is wrought In unison with God's great thought, The ear and heart bleakly. And whatsoe it is willed is done! —John Greenleaf Whittier Absent Minded. "Dear me, Bridget, isn't it time you learned to set the table without help? I think that after I have trained you for a year I ought not to feel obliged to always look at the table before a meal is served." "Sure, mum, me ould mother did be ether schouldin' me for forgittin' whin I was back home in County Galway. 'Bridget,' she'd be sayin', 'it's yerself do be sittin' there sewin', and here's the pig a-walkin' round the corner wid yer 'timble in his mout.'"—Lippincott's. To Paint Miniatures of Americans. Viscountess Maitland the well-known miniature painter, arrived last week from England for an extended stay, during which she will paint a number of miniatures of prominent people, among them half a dozen which she has been commissioned to do for members of the President's family. To Honor Patriotic Chef Residents of Nice are about to erect a statue in memory of Nebain Dubols, who for many years was chief cook to the kaler's grandfather. King William of Prussia, receiving a salary of $75,000 a year. As soon as the Franco-Prussian war was declared he resigned to fight against his former employee.

Garner dropped in Monday to say "helo!" Joe is somewhat of a weather prophet and can guess the proposition as good as an old man who fortells falling weather by the aching of his bones, and when asked if we would have a Xmas snow, he said, "There's no question about it." If we get snow we will give him a sleigh ride, if not we will content our self with a whiz in his auto. At a regular meeting of Damon Lodge No. 5. K. of P.

Gout and rheumatism are unknown and Baedeker's guide to Spain is the fat little volume it is because there are so many Sevillian churches and palaces and gardens, all with a star against them, which are show places. Readiness for Emergencies For most of us the best preparation for emergencies is sleep enough and food enough, work enough and play enough, and a lot of little troubles. If you keep a clear head and a steady hand, and a habit of dealing with everyday difficulties capably you are more ready for possible emergencies than the man is who depends upon an armory of tools and weapons which are rusty from disuse.—Exchange. Decision Inspires Confidence Decision Inspires Confidence. The decided man carries a positive atmosphere. He impresses you with his force and power to do things. His very presence inspires confidence and conviction. You feel sure that a man confronts you, and not a weakling. He knows what he thinks, and says it; he knows what he wants to do, and does it. A Reproof. One day a little boy came to school with very dirty hands, and the teacher said to him: "Jamie, I wish you would not come to school with your hands soiled that way. What would you say if I came to school with soiled hands?" "I wouldn't say anything." was the prompt reply. "I'd be too polite." Advice for the Struggler.

Dogs May Spread Tuberculosis Prof. Landouzy, in a communication just made to the French Academy of Medicine, insinuates a serious ground of distrust between a man and his dog. There is no doubt that tuberculosis is on the increase, and the professor has just as little doubt that dogs have something to do with it. Jupiter in Good Position: Jupiter in Good Position.

St. Nicholas is not only the patron saint of Russia, but he is greatly honored in the charming little valley in the Salzkammergut, where the Ischl and the Traun rivers unite. Indeed, Ischl once went by the name of St. Nikola. This is the season of St. Nicholas, for Santa Claus is a corruption of the name introduced into England from America. In the Ischl valley the feast of St. Nicholas is a typical holiday, and at this time for three days there is an assemblage of booths along the Wirerstrasse forming quite a market. In the shop windows are seen numerous images and pictures of the benevolent saint and his companion, the Grampus, with his switch and chain—a most formidable and threatening-looking object—to scare the hearts of naughty children. The evening before St. Nicholas' day the good saint and his terrifying companion are actually seen walking about the streets and enter some of the houses. When Ischl was inhabited by the Romans it went by the name of "Iscola," because of the number of fish found there, and some people connect this fact with the legend of St. Nicholas and the fish. The church is dedicated to him, and the interior is beautifully painted with illustrations from his life by a celebrated Tyrolean painter named Mader. A population of hardy and thrifty peasants inhabit the surrounding country and throng into the town on Sundays and holidays in their picturesque costumes. His Christmas Wish.

Where any uncertainty exists let us give as a token of love, or friendship, or human kindness, something that, while expressing these things, will at least be harmless. Let it be something that does not last—that brings the meaning and vanishes—something that never will know the indignity of the top shelf of the spare room closet! A knock at a friend's door on Christmas morning and the clasp of a hand do this. A growing plant does it. Yes, the loaf of bread, the jug of wine—but, most of all, thou beside me, singing in the wilderness—the personal revelation does it. Suppose a letter came on Christmas morning to say—not "you are perfectly dear to have sent me a spool box," but "I want you to know that your patience, or courage, or tenderness, during this last year, will help me to live more bravely and courageously and lovingly this next year." What a Christmas present the receipt of such a letter would be to any one of us; how we would take heart to live ourselves!

Very curious is the custom still practiced in Devonshire and one or two other localities, when the farmer, with his family and friends, after partaking together of hot cakes and cider (the cake being dipped in the liquor previous to its consumption), proceed to the orchard, one of the party bearing hot cake and cider as an offering to the principal apple-tree. The cake is formally deposited on the fork of the tree, and the cider thrown over the latter, the men firing off guns and pistols, and the women and girls shouting: "Bear blue, apples and pears snow, Barn fulls, bag fulls, sack fills, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!" A similar libation of spice, ale used to be sprinkled on the orchards and meadows in Norfolk, and only a few years back a ceremony of the same sort was witnessed in the neighborhood of the New Forest in Hampshire. —Woman's Home Companion.

My back was very lame and ached if I overexerted myself in the least degree. At times I was weighed down with a feeling of languor and depression and suffered continually from annoying irregularities of the kidney secretions.

Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all sickness is caused by certain conditions. Certain it is, the much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically true. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak-organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. Frequent bearing of children, with its exacting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a man, devolupment, and the cause of weakness, dolly, and the need for the care of the children, and the need for the ungraved at the many household care, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to perform. Dr. Ford, the maker of that world-famed remedy for the "suitful" weaknesses of hiss—Dr. Pierce's "Fairer Practitioner," says that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this class of maladies is the fact that the person over-worked housewife can not get the need for the care of the mother. From her many household cares and labor to, of course, the use of his "Prescription" its full benefits. It is a matter of frequent experience, he says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to do with those in which his treatment falls by reason of the patient's inability to abstain from hard work. In the case of a good work, with those suffering from prolapse, antivervision and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs, it is not necessary that, in addition to taking the care of the mother, he is not a description from being very much for long periods, on their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much as the doctor is as possible, with moderate, light exposure, also very important.

CONSUMPTION ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ THE First Christmas Gifts AND Their Signification. OLD is the oldest and most useful of the metals. We cannot tell when man first discovered gold and made it into ornaments and coin. Damascus, the oldest city in the world, knew and valued it; Egypt and Etruria counted it precious. Abraham was rich, not only in the patriarchal form of cattle, but "in sliver, and in gold." The Israelites, in their flight from Pharaoh, "borrowed" the golden treasures of their oppressors. Later, they made a golden calf, which has passed into a synonym for wealth worship. Gold was largely used in the tabernacle, and the directions given to Moses show a mercy-seat covered with pure gold, golden candlesticks, golden basins, and vestments with golden threads. The Temple built by Solomon was a blaze of golden splendor, at which the world marveled; and the Romans of a later century were sustained during the century siege of Jerusalem by the thought of the glittering plunder reputed to be collected in the Holy of Holies. It is related that at the surrender of the doomed city the inmost room was found empty; but on the Arch of Titus at Rome are still to be seen the carvings portraying the wonderful seven-branched candlesticks of gold looted from the Temple, and presented to Caesar. St. John, in his vision, beheld the new city with streets of gold. Pure gold was always used as a term of purity. There was little gold in the land of the Jews; it came from Sheba, Arabia, Ophir, Africa, and India. The common people never touched gold, and saw it only in temples and palaces. Gold was a gift for monarchs alone. The wise men brought The Child gold because "He was born King of the Jews." HIS was pure white resin, obtained from the bark of a tree found in India and Arabia. When an incision was made in the trunk, a white liquid was obtained, which presently hardened into a kind of vegetable material, brittle, glittering, and of a bitter taste. When burnt the perfume was delicate and delightful. Made of the very life-blood of rare trees, the frankincense symbolized to the Eastern mind the essence of holiness and purity. Its burning was an act of worship and reverence to God. As it burnt the worshiper prayed, and so the frankincense came to be the emblem of prayer and worship. Every service in the Hebrew sanctuaries was accompanied by the burning of incense, and as the smoke rose and the scent was wafted the people realized that their prayers were also ascending to Heaven. The Magi gave gold to the King; the frankincense was adoration and worship to God. YRRH was the conealed life-sap of a valuable tree, brittle, transparent, or yellow in color, with a strong M odor, and a bitter, warm taste. It exudes from the tree, without cutting, in small drops like tears, at first oily, but afterwards drying and hardening on the bark. If the tree is wounded, the myrrh is increased. Ancient Egyptian, Babylonish, Jewish, Greek and Roman merchants dealt in it. Jacob ordered his sons to carry to the Prime Minister of Egypt "a little balm, honey, spices, myrrh, nuts and almonds." When the Savior was dying He was offered "wine mingled with myrrh." Nicodemus brought myrrh and aloes for the embalment. It was often used with frankincense in worship, but more frequently as a perfume, fumigator and medicine. It was the symbol of humanity, and given to the Christ-Child as an emblem of His manhood and suffering. The Mistletoe Bough. COLORADO MOUNTAINS COLORADO MOUNTAINS NAMES SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT Too Many Named After a Few Men— Descriptive Names and Those of Colorado Pioneers Are Best. Prof. George L. Cannon of East Denver high school, takes radical exception to the manner in which mountain peaks and streams of Colorado have been named. He points out startling facts concerning the general ignorance of citizens of Colorado, some of them pioneers, as to geographical names and locations. According to Professor Carpenter, who is an eminent authority on geological subjects, and knows the mountains of the state by long study, few people of Denver know the names of peaks within easy view of the city. Pike's peak and Long's peak are perhaps more generally known than any others, but ardent citizens frequently make the mistake of pointing out insignificant foothills to strangers Gray's peak and Torrey's peak can be seen plainly from certain Denver viewpoints, but they are not the mountains that many people point out. Professor Cannon says the choice of geographical names in Colorado is characterized by a great monotony of titles. In the mountains, every few miles, he says, it is simply a repetition of Rock creek, Deer creek Bear creek and Turkey creek. On the plains, where there is timber, it is Willow creek or Plum creek; where there is no timber it is either Sand creek or Dry creek. From the dome of the Colorado capitol, four creeks known as "Dry" creeks are in sight, one of which empties into the Platte near the old suburb of Colfax. It is particularly noted for its never-ceasing flow of water and occasional dangerous freshets, yet it goes by the standard name of "Dry" creek. The names of both counties and mountains, not only in Colorado, but all through the country, show the same monotonous repetition of the names of a few prominent Americans, whose reputation does not demand this form of immortalization. The names of Grant, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson and other prominent Americans are used unsparingly, although it is not necessary to be always in sight of a mountain bearing their names to hold them in memory. Professor Cannon believes names should be used of a more descriptive value. For instance, he says, it would be better to call the conspicuous face of a prominent mountain in Middle park by the name of White Face peak, rather than by the meaningless name of Elk mountain. On this mountain there was once a heavy snowslide, which left exposed hundreds of feet of white limestone. Few people are aware of the fact that an elk was killed on this mountain, but the name of White Face has a meaning perceptible to all. It has been a source of irritation to Professor Cannon, that the mountain which recent measurements have shown to be the highest in Colorado, should not be known as Mount McKinley, Mount Grant or a similar name. This is Mount Massive, near Leadville, and only the repeated efforts of the city of Leadville has prevented the substitution of a name of less descriptive value than the one is now bears. Many mountains in Colorado are now receiving prominent names for the first time, and in naming these peaks, Professor Cannon says, the titles should be descriptive if possible, euphonious or historical. The abundant Spanish names will in a short time be the only trace left of the former dominion of Spain, and the same is equally true of the Indian names. Numerous pioneers are entitled to all the state can give them for their eminent services in founding the great commonwealth. They cannot be pensioned, but their names can be perpetuated by prominent geographical marks. Professor Cannon and Professor Ellsworth Bethel of East Denver high school for years have been making a scientific study of the names of rivers and peaks in Colorado. They have collaborated recently in an elaborate paper on this subject, which will be published in the proceedings of the Colorado Scientific Society.—Denver Republican. Origin of the Mule The mule is a cross between the ass and the horse, originally made in the days of Abraham and Isaac, and was probably accidental. The discovery of the mule is related in Genesis xxxv.24, where, relating the genealogy of Esau, it says that Ajah and Anah were the children of Zibeon, "and this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness as he fed the asses of Zubeon, his father." Words of Wisdom Westfield, Ill., Dec. 18th (Special)—All who are suffering with Bright's Disease, should read carefully the following letter from the Rev. G. L. Good of this place. He says:— "I feel it is my duty to tell you of the wonderful benefit I have received from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am a Minister of the Gospel, and in my work, I am frequently exposed to all weathers. Six years ago, I was laid up sick. I doctored with a number of physicians, and finally consulted a specialist, but without success. They all told me I had Bright's Disease. I was in a bad way and almost helpless when, thank God, I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They saved my life. I took sixteen boxes and now I am cured. The first day I took them I felt relief. When I began I weighed only one hundred and five pounds, now I weigh one hundred and sixty-five and I am the picture of health. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all my friends who have Kidney Trouble and I pray to God that other sufferers will read these words and be helped by them." When both Carnegie and Rockefeller begin to warn the poor against the evil of riches it operates to set us to thinking. Chinese Ruler. The Empress Dowager of China was sold into slavery at the age of eleven, to save her family from starvation. Afterwards, she was presented to the late Emperor, and, upon his wife's death, became Empress. Her feet were never bound, and she was taught to read after persistent pleading. The sterling qualities of this wonderful woman, like those of Pillsbury's Vitos, have overcome every obstacle. And she holds herself at the head of China, as does Vitos at the head of breakfast foods. It "Showed 'Em." Despite the fact that northern New England is a stronghold of temperance, if not of prohibition, temperance lectors sometimes go there and encourage the faithful. One such speaking in Keene, New Hampshire, reminded his hearers of the story of Dives and Lazarus. The lecturer pointed out how when Dives was in hades he did not ask for beer or wine or liquor, but for one drop of water. "Now, my friends," said the lecturer, "what does that show us?" A voice from the back of the hall instantly replied: "It shows us where you temperance people go to." Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 15 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾ pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice free of all charge if you will write her about yourself. Your letter will be seen by women only. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months ago my monthstopped. Shortly after I felt so badly that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor in my breast and would have to undergo an operation. "Soon after I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After trying five bottles as directed the tumor is entirely gone. I have been examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor that has also brought my monthstopped once more, and I am entirely well."—Fannie D Fox, 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa. kins.

At the mid-hour of a semi-tropic night, in a land not far different from this, well-nigh 2,000 years ago, a world was born. A world of hope, and courage and tenderness; a world within a world, albeit its confines were the walls of a lowly stable hid in pale Judea's hills. No blare of trumpet, blown through the far distances of air, announced the coming of the new ruler into His own, but, down long bars of light twixt heaven and earth, the white-winged angels sent sweet melodies of peace. Weaving through space in its eternal course, the rolling earth made no pause for this, the greatest event in all its history, yet, hung on high, a stranger amid the galaxy of stars guided the far-called wanderers of the night unerringly to the manger wherein He lay, dimming, for once, at least, those points of light that for so long had whitened the sullen dreariness of the desert night. And then, sweet and low, there came to the humblest of them all, to the shepherd tending his flock through the watches of the night, the sound of angels' voices in the second Annunciation, the song of peace in place of the strife the world had known so long. Ringing, ringing, down through the vaulted heaven it fell, and he, so forth, he thought he dreamed! And through it all the Babe, the golden glory of the Star drifting about His head, turned in His sleep and smiled. Nigh to the same hour another babe, he of the gold-bought kiss, wet with his tears the embroidered pillow on which he lay. The Little Ones There's a patter of tiny foot- steps; There's chatter of broken speech; For the very least at the Christmas feast For the Christmas plums may reach. And dancing feet are light- some. And little bare feet are dear. And late to bed goes the golden head On the merriest night in the year. —Margaret E. Sangster. In every man there is the spirit of the boy that once dominated him. It never entirely dies out. In the coldly commercial man, whose idol is the dollar mark, the boy spirit lies dormant, but it is there, nevertheless, and can be aroused if it is only appealed to in the right way. At this, the Christmas season, every man should try to forget his stern self and be a boy again. Cut all the restraints and let the boy-nature have full sweep, for this is what Longfellow would call "the children's hour." The man who does not put away all selfishness and live the spirit of the Christmas time is an enemy to himself and to society. Let the merry Christmas spirit be unanimous.—Four-Track News. Christmas Decorations. The practice of "tying greens," or decorating churches and houses with evergreens at Christmas, has existed in England from very early times. The holly was thought to symbolize the Crown of Thorns, the prickly leaves standing for the thorns, the scarlet berries for the sacred drops of blood. Mistletoe has always been used in house decorations, but was not allowed in the churches on account of the association with the cruel rites of the Druids. The King of Glory. Before the paling of the stars, Before the winter more. Before the earliest cockcow, Lebus Christ was born; Born in a manger, Cradled in a manger, In the world his hands had made Born a stranger. Priest and king lay fast sleep In Jerusalem. Young and old lay fast sleep In crowded Bethlehem. Saint and angel, ox and ass, Kept in the church. Before the Christmas day break In the winter weather. Jesus on his mother's breast In the stable cold. Spotless Lamb of God was he, Shepherd of the fold; Let us kneel with Mary maid, With Joseph bent and heavy, With saint and angel and ass, To hall the King of Glory. -Christina Rossettl. Santa Claus and the Chimney. It is said that the popular tradition of the entrance of Santa Claus by means of the chimney arose from the story of Hertha, a goddess of the Norse mythology. When the festival in her honor was celebrated an altar of stones was erected in the house, and fir branches were piled upon it and set on fire. Through the dense smoke made by the green wood the goddess was supposed to descend and extend her influence according to the petitions of the worshipers THORN Leather Goods Balance of $1.00 For this Week Choice Of All $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 Genuine English Calf, Cape Coat, Walrus, Morocco and Seal Bank Note Books, Bill Books, Leather Books, Pass Books, Card Cases, Etc.
