To-night is the time of all times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices; to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what to-night means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things I have gone without and might have had but for your extravagance? Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, of your so-called pleasures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to say no. Let's talk it over, John, just you and I, and as the old year dies plan for better and more noble things in the year to come. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Your sentiments, my dear, are noble approval. We will plan to-night for the year not the year alone, but years. We will stu that mean a better and truer life for you little things we might improve upon. So n to spend the small sums we now but throw novel you are reading would have purchas need. Now let's begin by my giving up but vile weeds, and you your novels, which of trash and twaddle. Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my approval. We will plan to-night for the year that is to come. Yes, not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which to spend the small sums we now but throw away. The price of that novel you are reading would have purchased the slippers I so badly need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind of trash and twaddle. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 31:— With all the many vices with which you that you might overlook the one small plea admit there are more elevating books than am I to give up my only pleasure, the one get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, of me this sacrifice that you might have the not need? Your vices are so great beside me mean all that you say about planning for the your club? It is but another of the many incur year after year. With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems that you might overlook the one small pleasure which I have. Yes, I admit there are more elevating books than present-day novels. But am I to give up my only pleasure, the one small thing from which I get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do not need? Your vices are so great beside my small one. If you really mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up your club? It is but another of the many needless expenses which you incur year after year. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— That's right, and I'm glad you mention of it before. That will be money saved, and it's fair. My resignation from the club will join me in the good work and mail to m the bridge club or class or whatever you is always better when it's doubled, and the accomplished, two savings made, instead o dear; will you join me in turning over this of a new year? The question is entirely course, that you will. That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain, and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in to-night if you will join me in the good work and mail to-night your withdrawal from the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it. A good deed is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds accomplished, two savings made, instead of one. What say you, my dear; will you join me in turning over this new leaf with the opening of a new year? The question is entirely needless, for I know, of course, that you will. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 31:— You certainly can be horrid upon the when you should look back upon the things robbed me of during the year just closing. be ashamed to sit there and point to my few they were vices from which I should escape enough in life for me without being deprive intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if t pleasures will put a stop to your many vice them on the altar of noble and obedient w did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) You certainly can be horrid upon this one night of all nights when you should look back upon the things which you have needlessly robbed me of during the year just closing. I should think you would be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though they were vices from which I should escape. There is certainly little enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent pleasures will put a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer them on the altar of noble and obedient wifehood. But, oh, John, I did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Now, wife, don't cry. I am a brute and I admit it. Let's start anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have sinned against ourselves or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are not mere pleasures to which we are entitled. I think they are. I see nothing we need repent of; nothing to swear off. I'll keep my cigars and you your novels. I'll keep my club and you your bridge game. We'll let gowns and slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves. Now, that is better, isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approval, I am sure, and we will greet the coming year with joy and not with tears and 'tamentations. Resolved by Mr. A and Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— During the next year and the years to follow we will live our lives as we have lived them. We will enjoy to the full our several pleasures. We will make no new resolutions which we will later permit Now, wife, don't cry. I am a brute and I admit it. Let's start anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have sinned against ourselves or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are not mere pleasures to which we are entitled. I think they are.

Resolved by Mr. A and Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Durnig the next year and the years to follow we will live our lives as we have lived them. We will enjoy to the full our several pleasures. We will make no new resolutions which we will later regret and break. We will not ask either of us from the other that which each is not willing to give to the other, and now let the New Year come. Dated 12 o'clock, midnight, December 31 THE APPEAL. NEW the fourth day of the New Year, the decorations of lobster which signify reproduction, cabbages which mean riches, and oranges which mean good luck, are taken down and replaced. This is to signify the near approach of spring, when the "winter gurment of repentance" shall be thrown aside. NEAR THE NORTH POLE AS PREVIOUSLY arranged, the Esquimau go forth from their PEAKLEVILLY arranged, use Prevailuxm go forth from their smoother pairs, one of each pair being dressed in women's clothes. They gain entrance by every glimpse in the village, moving silently and mysteriously. At last there is not a light left in the whole place, and having extinguished every spark of fire they can find, they kindle a fresh one, going through mysterious ceremonies meanwhile. From this one source all lamps and fires in the district are lighted anew. In the Indian empire, the day which corresponds to other New Year celebrations, is called Hooly, and is a feast in honor of Krishna. Caste temporarily loses caste and the prevailing it wears red garments. They throw red powder at one another, and mix it with water and squirt it from syringes on passers-by. This is taken in as good part as snow-balling is in northern climes. Complimentary visits between the merest acquaintances are exchanged in Germany, and New Year's gifts are made to the servants. The eve of the New Year is called "der Sylvester Abend," and while it is deemed not unbecoming for the young and thoughtless to while away the evening by dancing, the day in more serious households is semi-religious. During the evening a family altar, and at midnight the watchman on the church tower blows his horn to announce the birth of the New Year. The "Jour de l'An" is a great period almost all over France, and many of the customs common with us at Christmastide are transferred to New Year. In many parts of that country, children continue for three days, the singers going from house to house, singers and begging for small presents. DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR. BY CHARLOTTE BEAUMONT JARVIS. Misereer: toll the bell. Let the earth send forth a knell. For a great soul takes his flight, None knows whither, in the night— Misereer: Stretched upon his snowy bier, Dying lies the good Old Year; And upon the midnight gale All may hear his parting wall— Misereer: In the old king's chequered reign There were mingled joy and pain; Friends proved false, while foes were true. Sinner's many, salaints—a few— Miseree: There were hearts that suffered wrong, Bore it bravely, and were strong; Hearts there were so black within, Satan wondered at their sin— Miseree: Garners full of fruitful store, Measures pressed, and running o'er; Famine in the streets at night, Doing deeds too dark for light— Miseree: Rang the chariots for the wed, Tolled they sine for the dead, In one home a joy was born, From another joy was torn— Miseree: Such earth's sorrow, such its sin, It was not to begin, Show what wraps the New Year's feet In the Old Year's winding feet— Miseree: Now his spirit goeth fast, Midnight hour will be his last; To your knowledge worms are weary— Miseree: BY DANIEL W. GAILAGHER UNDER the old dawn outer crust— "Mid bed-rock fragments and lava dust; Watching the axle turning, high, The Old Year at his dynamo In the power plant which time maintains, And numbered losses and figured gains. "I've done quite well," said the aged peer— "My record's good as an engineer, I've kept its things humming, above—below. Folks can't complain that I've been slow, And now I'm off when midnight calls—" Then he started doffing his overall. He washed his face and brushed his hair— Then leaned far back in his arm-chair— +pensive moll till a way stap chap Clap and shout, "You're not here!" And said: "Old Year—they tell me you are sorter thinking of getting through." "Right you are," cried the aged man. "Your task awaits you, little Jan. Get into your duda and start right in, I will wait right here until you begin. For I wish to see if right guess, Which of the levers you will press." Then Jan marched up to the dynamo. He passed the levers of "Want" and "Woe—" Nor tortured the levers of "War" or "Fear." Stopping the while to reenact each name: Then a handle grasped—he turned to go The Old Year's face seemed all aglow. So when the dawn of that day began Man thought of his stricken brother man, With ready help and an honest tear. For them that knew no good New Year. "Twas the lever of Love in the midst of groom That Jan had gripped in the engine-room We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning. —H. W. Becker We are not in this world to do what we wish, but to be willing to do that, which it is our duty to do. —Gonad. It is the "every days that cause." They must be made to tell, or the years have failed. —W. C. Gannell. Soberly and with clear eyes believe in your own time and place. There is not, there never has been, a better time or a better place to live in. Only with this belief can you believe in hope. —Phillips Brooks. We may make the best of life, or we may make the worst of it, and it depends very much upon ourselves whether we extract or misry from it. —Smiles. The darkest shadows of life are those which a man himself makes when he stands in his own light. —Lord Avelbury. Our life is short, but to expand that span to vast eternity is virtue's work. —Shakespeare The hour that is gone I cannot recall, but to-morrow I will do better than yesterday; and all to-morrows shall be better than the yesterdays. Let us "leave behind our low-vaulted past." -Dyer. Life is fruitful in the ratio in which it is laid out in noble action or patient perseverance. -Liddon. THE NEW YEAR'S CHOICE It is Well to Choose Wisely for the Time That is to Come. Once, long ago, the Lord appeared in a vision of the night to a young man with the offer, "Ask what I shall give thee." And a decisive moment was that in which the young king weighed against all others the thing which he most desired. Centuries lie between us and the young king, Solomon, but still—and even more—his queuing, New Year—God appears to each of us with practically the same offer, "Ask what I shall give thee." And, as with Solomon, so with every heart, there lies the choice of the gift. Were the question an audible one, what would your answer be? Each recurring New Year's, in effect, says: "Ask what I shall give thee." And the choice for the coming year may be our choice for all the years of life. It is by choice that man seek wealth and learning and by influence that he acquires of new and that, of but of this or that. To choose is to decide between, to leave as well as to take. Therefore, what will be our choice for the year before us? God Himself asks the question, makes the offer. Christmas Fairies An old English tradition has it that at Christmas-tide, elves and fairies may mingle with humankind in the festivities, and the holly, bay and ivy are hung that the fays may find hiding places. They are also hung to affectionate ones in woodland sprites who, at this season, are half-frozen in the forests. Defective Page DEC 31 1910 DAY BOOK CASH LEDGE 1909 A Pleasant Prospect.

Pernold The Old Person—I wish you all kinds of prosperity during your term of office, bub, but I want to warn you this year's job is a fast life. In just 12 months or in about 8,760 hours, you will be wearing a long gray beard, spectacles on your nose, a seven-dollar black suit badly wrinkled, weigh The Old Year and the New "Seven—asked—nine! Do you hear that?" asked the old clock in the corner. "Here it is a full hour after your bedtime, and yet you sit there staring into the fire!" In front of the fire sat an old woman—gray haired, wrinkled, feeble. The voice of the clock did not disturb her, but as she watched the fifth glare, one could have read her thoughts. "But it's excusable on this night," continued the clock, in soft tones. "Helped it but its the last night of the old woman, whose dark valet it are done with 1909. You and I are going to watch the old year out together. Let's see? How many years have I seen come and go? Forty—exactly forty with this one. That's a long time, long time." The woman rocked gently to and fro, and by and by the clock suddenly called out: "What, tears in your eyes! Come now, but that's no way to end the year. We are thinking of the same thing. Yes, he was a good and loving husband, and I'll say this for both of you, that I never heard an unpleasant word between you. It is 12 years since he died. I could only look into his face as he lay on his dying bed, if ever heaven sent its light to lead him. He was given to him. I remember your tears and moans and sobs, and you prayed that death might come to you as well." The woman wiped her tears, and there was a feeling of suffocation as she let memory bring up the events. "Eight—nine—ten!" called the clock after a while. "How time does fly! I distinctly remember striking the last hour of 1903. Let me see. Some one told me that she was a teacher. There was a son and a daughter. Ah! now I recall their faces—their gentle words—their loving words. Two years latter there was another dead-bed, more walls and sobs, and I saw the pall-bearers as they carried the daughter's body out of the house. It seems that it would must crush you and I well remember to avoid that it wouldn't be long before you were called to go." The woman choked back her sobs.

And some will be sorry, others glad, that you are then ready to be succeeded by another fat little infant labeled "1911." and her lips moved as if she were speaking the names of her dead ones. For many minutes her reverie was unbroken, and she heard not the ticktack! ticktack! of the steady old clock. "Nine—ten—eleven!" suddenly called the clock. "The son! Ah! how absentmind I have become! Well do I remember the day a woman with a pale face and frightened eyes opened the door and handed you a letter, which bore the insignia of death. You opened it with trembling fingers, and next moment you were like one dead. There were days and days when you were carried between life and death, and I, for a heart gave up all hopes. Died in a foreign land; buried among strangers over the sea. It was a blow aimed at a heart twice broken." The woman covered her face and moaned in anguish, and the clock continued: "Don't grieve so, the dead are at rest forevermore. My mistakes may need to be washed away with tears, but the dead reaped their reward. You are old and poor and broken, but who can tell what new friends the new year may raise up for you? I cannot tell you to forget the past, for a mother's heart ever goes out for her dead, but the new year may have more sunshine. Come, now I am about to strike the old year out and the new year in. Let us greet the new with a smile of welcome as I count—ten—eleven—twelve—a happy New Year!" The woman did not move. "Heigh!!" called the clock: "We have left the old behind!" Her hands had dropped beside her, and her head had fallen. "Dead!" clicked the clock, as the last faint echoes of his bell died away. Being and Doing. It is said, "To be good is the way to be happy," but to be good and to do good is the way to be happy. What a happy world this would be if all would do the best thing for themselves, if all realized that the only way to get out of life is to put into it, that the way to receive is to give, and the only way to be helped is to be helpful, and the way to gain life is to lose it for others, and the way to go up is to go down, for "The meek shall inherit the earth." "He that is petty to live for self is bequeathed." It is petty to live for friends, but 'tis glorious to live for mankind, and, as one has said, "The only way to work for God is to work for man." HAS TRAVELED FAR Hardy Old Sea Dog Who Commands New Zealand Liner Mixed Up in Many Thrilling Adventures at Sea. London — A hundred times round the world is the record of Capt. Herbert Edward Greenstreet. He is commander of one of the crack steamers of the New Zealand Shipping Company now, but he has seen shipping develop from sailings vessels to steam, and from the single-screw steamers to the twin-screw leviathans that ply on all the oceans of the world. Capt. Greenstreet began life on the water as a "Worcester" boy in 1868. Two years ago he spent in this British floating naval college, moored off Greenhill, down the river. Then he went to sea. Sailing ships held sway in those days, and the young sailor voyaged to Australia, China, Japan and across the north Atlantic. Then he passed as second mate and went away in that capacity on the Galatea, a Liverpool-owned ship. A few days after the Galatea had loaded her cargo at Newcastle and had put to sea for San Francisco, young Greenstreet had the misfortune to break his leg—a compound fracture above the knee, caused by the anchor stock falling on him. Out came the surgery book and the captain and the blacksmith—truly a strange combination. Following the book's broken limb, they made such an excellent job of it that when the vessel reached San Francisco, the doctor who came Capt. Herbert E. Greenstreet. on board said: "You don't want me here. This is one of the finest jobs I have ever seen." This prince of circumnavigators recalls some startling incidents. When his steamer was outward bound on one occasion a girl passenger in the steerage jumped overboard. Another passenger, who was leaning over the stern, saw her come by and was at once impressed with the idea that the last thing to do was to create a panic. Instead of at once raising an alarm, he walked quietly along to the bridge and said, "There's a woman in the water." All this time the vessel had been plowing along at 14 knots. The woman was some miles astern before the ship could be stopped. The vessel was put about in the expectation of finding the girl, and, just as hope was being abandoned she was sighted floating on the water, face upward. A woman was standing on the shore and both were picked up. The girl and been in the water 20 minutes, but she had saved herself by keeping her hands below water. Another incident which Capt. Greenstreet recalls is a gallant rescue effected by Dan Pearce, a steward in his steamer. A woman went overboard in a region where sharks might be expected. But Dan, on being informed of the fact, simply said: "I'm after her." Running attic, he leaped over the stern, shouting: "Heave us a wife. We were done, and with it he swam along to the ship he till he came to the woman. The he got behind her and pulled her beneath the water. As she rose he clapped the life buoy over her head. Capt. Greenstreet, meantime, had brought his ship around and lowered a boat, and both were picked up. When he came on board Pierce was asked how he knew he would be picked up. "Captain," replied Pearce, "I knew you would find me. You've done it before." "It was, says Capt. the finest thing I have ever seen done." Greenstreet is now commander of the Rimutaka, which makes three round voyages every 13 months. Record Fresco Painting. A letter from Venice published in Figaro says that visitors to that city may soon see there "the largest free co-painting in the world." It is the work of a Venetian painter, Bruchi, and covers a space of 70 meters (230 feet) in length. The article says that "this great work, which is said to be of artistic excellence, is in the municipal loan establishment of Venice." When the Wald Nord painter, in the Hotel de Ville, at Paris, was unveiled it was contended that its 3,000 square feet made it the largest painting in the world but was painted in painting at Warwick in 1753, covering a space of about 5,000 square feet, was probably forgotten when this claim was made.

We are thankful to patrons of the paper for their patronage, both advertisers and subscribers, as they furnish the filthy lucre which is necessary for our existence. We hope we have pleased both advertisers and subscribers so well that their patronage will continue and that the New Year may bring to them a continuance of prosperity and happiness.

We have constantly contended that lynchings are never justifiable, and our contention is frequently sustained by the facts that subsequently come to light when the victim of the mob's thirst for blood is beyond rescue. And, we are not alone in our position in regard to lynching. Referring to a recent lynching, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has this to say: BURNED FOR SELF-DEFENSE. "It appears now that John Howard, the Negro who was burned at the stake in Georgia a few days ago for shooting a white man whose automobile frightened his mules, was not the murderer the mob took him to be. Booth, the white merchant who was shot, first drew his weapon and fired at Howard, who then returned the fire. Both were shot, but the Negro succeeded in getting away, while Booth had to be taken to the hospital. The mob, however, did not stop to investigate, but proceeded to inflict a horrible fate upon the Negro who, evidently, acted in self-defense. That is the inevitable result of lynch law. Under its operations justice is impossible, while the law is defiled and barbarism substituted for civilization. There is no reason to suppose that the guilty murderers of that Georgia horror will ever be brought to justice." [Name] M. B. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster General of the United States.

With a postal deficit of nearly $17,500,000, the largest in the history of the Postoffice Department, as its leading features. Postmaster General Hitchcock's first annual report is given to the public. A cursory review of previous periods traces the financial condition of the department from a self-supporting basis between the years 1789 to 1810, except for a single year, to the colossal shortage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909. Second-class mail privileges and the rural free delivery service are blamed for the big deficit, the former to the extent of a loss in its operations of $64,000,000 and the latter of $28,000,000. To give some idea as to the size of the postal service and the magnitude of its operations, the report states that the service now has about 325,000 employees. These employees handled during the last fiscal year nearly 14,000,000,000 pieces of mail. The number of post offices in operation is 60,144.

All true patriotic Americans are, of course, impressed with the idea that things of all kinds are so vastly superior to those of the same kind which exist in other parts of the world that they will be surprised to learn that an intelligent citizen of Boston who just returned from a tour of Europe found that in some respects the idea is by no means correct. The gentleman in question visted an European city about the size of Boston and had the curiosity to wish to see the slums of the city. He relates as follows: There were no streets swarming, as in large American cities, with children who had no other place to stay. The streets on which these homes were located were as clean as in the most prosperous parts of the city, and that means cleaner than any part of Boston. The same was true of the backyards and alleyways and places that here would be dirt holes. In the United States, every city, without exception, is cursed with slums and the slums run the city. Certain parts of the city are given over to fifth and vice. The red light districts of Chicago are known throughout the civilized world. Americans have not yet learned the art of running their cities on the European plan. FORCED CONFESSIONS. The Washington Post says: "Another of the law's invasions of the rights of the citizen and an infasions of the rights of the citizen and an infamous perversion of justice is the latitude which is allowed peace officers in forcing confessions or cajolling damaging admissions from prisoners who are yet to be indicted and tried. This practice has become a gross abuse." Especially is this true in the case of "outrages" on females in the South and consequent lynchings. Whenever we hear of a lynching down South we are also told of a confession by the victim. It is almost needless to say that the confessions are nearly always forced and really amount to nothing. The practice is too gross an abuse to be longer tolerated. CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF JESUS. THE APPEAL very rarely concedes with the religious teachings of Prof. Moster of Chicago University, but fails to see that he is at all wrong in the following: "There simply has got to be more truth and more life in our churches or the really religious people themselves will repudiate the churches. Men's eyes are at last open and they see how much that is false, dead, untrue in churchdom, how much of cur rent christendom is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Living religion of living men will endure it no longer." The fact is well known that for a man to participate in a lynching, or in the white slave traffic or in defrauding the government, does not interfere in the slightest degree with his church relationships. It is equally true that were an Afro- Amreican to simply enter into many of the churches and take a seat, the act would be resented by the membership as a most unwarranted intrusion and even the poor white man would be a most unwelcome visitor at many of them. "FAITHFULNESS AND DEVOTION." The Charleson News and Courier says: "The Negro women of the present day are entirely too frivolous to do anything well. They do not care. Old house servants are few and far between. The modern servant does not stay in one place for a long period. She gets tired and quits, or she wish- Correspondent Bulldogs St. Louis Copyright BULLSTEAD S. LOSS. HON.

She has no stability, and she is daily proving that the old characteristics of the race—faithfulness and devotion—are passing away. No people in the world save the Southern people would endure the worthlessness of these Negro women." THE APPEAL would remark that the "Negro women of the present day" are working for money and not upon the "faithfulness and devotion" theory. They wish to be paid enough for their labor to live comfortably, but they are almost invariably forced to labor for a mere pittance, scarcely enough to keep breath in their bodies. Again, the best Afro-Americans refuse to allow their daughters to go out to domestic service, as it exposes them to the advances of dissipated young and old white men and often results in their degradation. The "Negro woman of the present day" very often has a good home of her own to which she can return rather than work for nothing, and she does not stay at one place if she is mistreated. And, even among her own race, the "white folks' kitchen girl" usually belongs to the lowest stratum of society. INCONSISTENT AMERICANS. A number of eminent Americans recently cabled the Russian premier be speaking "a fair trial, open and public, in accordance with the time-honored principles of justice in all nations" for two distinguished Russian prisoners on the eve of being brought to bar in that country on political charges. Commenting on the foregoing, the Evening Star suggests that the Russian premier might reply as follows: "Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your cable expressing solicitude for two Russian prisoners soon to go on trial on political charges. You ask that the proceedings be conducted in accordance with the time-honored principles of justice in all nations. Scarcely had I finished reading your favor than I was informed that a human being in one of the oldest states of your Union — Georgia. I think, is the name—had but the day before been burned at the stake in public by a mob of infuriated citizens. Are you citizens of that commonwealth? Or, if not, have you any influence with the authorities there? In either case may I respectfully ask you to exert yourselves in behalf of law and order in Georgia? Civilization, like charity, begins at home. Our conditions in Russia have been disturbed for some time, but we have been trying to improve them. In America you have enjoyed over a hundred years of popular rule. Your body politic is thoroughly organized. You have courts, and officers to enforce their writs. What, therefore, explains such a horror as comes to me from your shores? We have some severe forms of punishment in Russia, but nothing approaching torture and death by fire at the stake, and I beg of you, in the name of justice and humanity, to bring your country in this matter within the pale of civilization!" in the rumor that Senator Tillman's staying out of the limelight is due to an attack of hookworm. There isn't a hookworm in Dixie that would dare to tackle the man with the pitchfork. The big bugs have so arranged matters that the testimony in divorce cases is now sealed up and not revealed to the public. The law permits this out of respect for the "high social standing" of certain persons, when publication would endanger public morals. Are not the courts be coming a little too complaisant? Several prominent Jews have ap THE MISSING MAN WAS A MISSING MAN WAS A MISSING MAN Declaring that, notwithstanding the great activities in every branch of the department, the appropriations during the last four years for the entire department have been increased only 3.2 per cent, the report adds: "If the appropriations are to be held at the present figures, it will become necessary to make a dollar to go farther than it has." peared before the Immigration Commission for the purpose of protesting against the use of the word "Hebrew" in the reports of that body. They claim that the title is a misnomer. However the title is by no means so ridiculous as the use of the word "Negro" to describe a class of people who are very far from being Negroes in the real sense of the word. "Gov. Haskell has been lambasted from soda to hock, from string beans to hell splits, and we'll swear it begins to look like he was about the cleanest of the bunch," says the Oklahoma Times. That's not saying much for the governor when you remember what kind of a "bunch" it is. THE APPEAL hopes that the death of King Leopold, of Belgium, will make a change in the awful condition of things which have existed in the Congo Free State. There can be no doubt of the fact that that unfortunate country was a hell upon earth. Gov. Deneen's action in refusing to reinstate the sheriff who failed to prevent the Cairo lynching deserved great commendation. Cairo, Springfield and Danville have almost brought Illinois down to the level of Texas. ```markdown ``` An unsecured Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, offers a variety of high school High School courses, with industrial Training, Superior advantages in Music, and vocational training for girls.

Week In these times of "frenzied finance" when millionaires are arraigned at the bar of public opinion, and asked where they get it, such plays as "The Lion and the Mouse" have more than ordinary interest for the theatruego. To that class of people who see none of the virtues in the capitalist, merely because he is such, the discontiure of "John Burkett Ryder," "(Ready Money Ryder)" brought about by a gentle girl, "Shirley Rossmore," much keen enjoyment is felt. To the more thinking man, it is merely the exposition of conditions as they are at the present time, when the strength of the "allied interests" are powerful enough to sway legislation, debauch the courts and ruin the weak, when they have the temerity to oppose the money kings. That "The Lion and the Mouse" has struck a responsive Scene From A. 216 Defective Page PROGRAMME. U. B. F. Notice. chord in the public heart, the most captious will not deny, for it is as potent a theatrical magnet as it was when first presented. Its forthcoming local engagement at the Grand for the week starting Sunday matinee, Jan. 2 is keenly anticipated, and that it is to be presented at a popular scale of prices will not lessen its value as a magnet in the least. It is a strong, interesting and wholesome play, and as such, long may it flourish. THE SHRINER'S BALL. The Biggest Event of the Holiday Sea The second annual ball of Fezzan Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which was held at Tschida Hall, Wednesday night, was the biggest social event of the Christmas season, and in point of attendance surpassed the ball given last year. The people were slow about gathering, which made it rather late when they all got there. However they made good use of the time when they did get there and everybody enjoyed the evening hugely. There was quite a lot of the red fez, billed shirt front fellows and the white fezes were much in evidence. The ladies were most elegant costumes, both Duduh and Minneapolis were well represented. The crossing of the burning sands was the pleasant by the delightful strains of the music from Hale-McCullough's Orchestra and it kept the attendants busy dispensing the delicious genuine "camel's milk" when the Mecca was reached. The programs, which were distributed, were on paper of three different colors and were quite handsome. A feature of the evening was the presentation by Noble George L. Hoage of a handsome Shriner's emblem to Noble M. Cook of Minneapolis as a prize for selling the largest number of tickets. Noble Hoage made a neat little speech and Noble Cook fittingly responded. The officers of Fezan Temple for 1910 are: Geo. L. Hoage, Illustrous Potentate; M. T. Joyce, Chief Rabban; M. A. Johnson, Assistant Rabban; Wm. F. T. Chandler High Priest; and Prophet; Ernest B. James, Oriental Guide; Joseph Adams, Treasurer; Joseh H. Sherwood, Recorder; Lincoln J. Allen, First Ceremonial Master; M. M. Johnson, Second Ceremonial Master; George J. Charleston, Marshal; John F. Coquire, Captain of the Guard; M. L. Barksdale, Outer Guard; Chas. C. Hines, Organist. St. James Church Notes. Because of the great work of the ladies of the church in Halo Gala Fair just closed, which has been one of the most successful affairs ever held in connection with the church, the usual New Year's reception will not be given this New Year's Day. In the Halo Gala of last week were united more of St. James workers than ever seen before, and the occasion was a great social gathering as well as a financial one. Instead of holding the Emancipation celebration on New Year's night, as heretofore, it will be held on Sunday night. A full program in keeping with the day will be readered Sunday night, including some of our best speakers, among whom will be the Rev. W. D. Carter. Dr. Carter is the Field Secretary of Western College, Mo. He is in that work has been accompanied with great success. St. James must crowd the doors Sunday night to take part in this great service. The fifthieth anniversary of the death of John Brown will also come in for a part of the services. The great man's life and work will be reviewed in glowing colors. The audience will join in singing Julia Ward Howe's great song, "In the Beauty of the Lilies Christ Was Born Across the Sea." "WINE, WOMEN AND SONG." The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre Commencing Sunday, Jan. 9, "Wine, Women and Song," which is the hit of hits, will be seen at the Star Theatre. "Wine, Women and Song" possesses all of the popular requirements, fun, song hits, pretty girls, really funny comedians, beautiful costumes, stage setting and electrical effects, and good light music. The comedy is especially devised to give scope to the abilities of the many comedians and comediennes. In fact, there is no other production on the road which offers such a variety of highly amusing features as "Wine, Women and Song." The music is melodious and the lines are packed with hit and some little wisdom. One of the special features is "Romance Du Apache," the most artistic and sensual dance ever seen on any stage. Those who want to see beautiful women, hear tuneful music and want to watch the intricate evolutions of a good chorus, should by no means fall to drop in and see "Wine. Women and Song." Cunning, the jail breaker, is an added feature on the program. THE COSMOPOLITAN MUTUAL CASUALTY CO "The Lion and the Mouse" at the Gran MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

They have distributed $67 among worthy poor and their holiday efforts of sending Christmas cheer and comfort was quite successful as they were enabled, through their uniting zeal and energy, to obtain the assistance of several of the merchants of the city in sending out twelve full baskets of staples and provisions. We wish to express our gratitude to the following named firms: Andrew Schoch Grocery Co., McQuaid's, Emporium, Bannon's, Wazner, Mendel, Sigmammer Meat Co., Montana Meat Co. and the Million Dairy, for through them it was made possible to send this Christmas cheer to a number of fortunate ones of our race. The United Charities would advise our people to largely patronize these firms. (Mrs.) J. E. Cloak, Chairman. A NEW HOUSE BUILT FOR YOU My EMAIL IS PETERS, "From Australia."

SPOILED CARD SHARK'S GAME How "Pat" Sheedy, Famous Gambler, Fooled Trickster Who Thought He Had Easy Money. The greatest delight of "Pat" Sheedy, America's premier gambler, according to Henry Stewart of the Stewart-Peck Sand Company, was to "double cross" the crooked card sharks. Mr. Stewart and Sheedy were old friends. "Sheedy once strolled into a tough gambling resort in the west, where he was not known, and stood watching the games." Mr. Stewart relates. "One of the dealers was 'spipling' to several countrymen and had about convinced them to take a chance at his game. "I'll bet you two to one that I can shuffle the deck and cut the ace of hearts the first time," he announced. "I'll take $50 of that if you'll let me shuffle the cards," Pat said. "The dealer agreed and the money was staked. The countrymen also made small bets. "Are you satisfied?" the dealer asked when the cards were shuffled. 'The proposition is that I am to cut the ace of hearts the first cut.' "Everyone agreed. Then the dealer—he was a tough one—whipped out a big hunting knife and slashed the deck in two. "But he didn't take the money. Sheedy had palmed the ace of hearts while shuffling the cards." Flag and the Offices. "My boy," advised the Polonius with ehin whiskers, "stand by the flag." "Til do it, dad." "And don't let the offices go wholly unprotected." "You say you don't object to me on account of my age. Miss Ginevra?" "No, I don't mind your age a bit, Mr. Rypun." "Then what is the objection, may I ask?" "You look it." BOTH PHONES. Insuperable. Minneapolis, Minn. ATZ" First Exquisite Beer Brewing Company Minneapolis Branch 1316 SIXTH ST.

It cannot be very hard to get plenty of news for an English newspaper, as the following from the St. James' Budget indicates: "The prince of Wales, in inspecting the coast guard at Newauay, was passing a petty officer, which he stopped and turned back. 'Aren't you Goddon? he asked, I am, sir,' said the gratified petty officer. 'Were you not with me in Canada 20 years ago?' 'Yes, sir,' said the officer. Mr. Goddon had been leading hand in crossstrees when his royal highness was midshipman of the top. 'Give me your hand,' said the prince, with a smile. 'I hope you will have a long and enjoyable career in your present position.'" Seamen Scarce in England Ten years ago it was estimated that while during the preceding half century the British merchant tonnage had almost trebled, the number of British seamen engaged in the mercantile marine had decreased by 25 per cent, and the boys and young men by 85 per cent. In 1857 there were 69,914 petty officers and sailors, not including Lascars, employed in the mercantile marine of the United Kingdom; in 1875 it was estimated that there were 82,000; in 1899 the estimated number had fallen to 60,709, while in 1901 there were only 44,290—Fortnightly Review. Tabriz, that unhappy Persian two of daily revolution, is one of those cities that flourished ages before authentic history began to be written, and has lived long enough to bury her ancient glories. There are no buildings in the place older than the reign of the Moguls, and yet it was probably at one time a place of as high importance as Babylon and Bagdad. Its name was anciently Taurus, the mountain city. The plains around the city are said to furnish the nearest resemblance in their summer luxuriance to paradise that earth can offer. Co. Tabriz.
