Admiral Dewey's Double Holiday ADMIRAL DEWEY and STAFF ADMIRAL DEWEY'S FAVORITE CORNER --- UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY BREAKFAST ROOM A DMIRAL DEWEY, head of the United States navy, has an especial reason for feeling in a festive mood during the merry Yuletide season. It brings him a double holiday. Not merely, you understand, the dual celebrations of Christmas and New Year's day, but another one besides. The explanation of surprise of red letter days in the admiral's calendar it this season or the year is found in the circumstance that the birthday anniversary of the hero of Mumbai bay occurred on December 26, the day the Admiral Dewey encountered him, many of the birthday anniversary, they do of the general holiday that just precedes it. The highest ranking officer of our naval service is quite in conceit with the idea of having his birthday anniversary fall in the same week Both the officers and the crews of the older navies used to dress pretty much as they pleased. In Nelson's time an attempt was made to get the officers arrayed with some sort of system, but the sailors wore whatever they could hold of it.

John Forbes, admiral of the fleet, said: "Advertising to the establishment of naval uniforms, I was summoned to attend the duke of Bedford and, being introduced into an apartment surrounded with various dresses, my opinion was asked as to the most appropriate. I said red and blue, as they were our national colors. "No,' replied his grace, 'the king (George II.) was determined otherwise, for having seen my uncles riding in the park a few days ago in habit of blue faced with white the dress took his majesty's fancy, who has appointed it for the uniform of the royal navy." While wearing a uniform himself, Nelson was in the guard's against further encroachments on the sailor's preoperative in the master dress. About the time of the French revolution epaulettes began to be worn in continental navies; at first only on one shoulder, according to the officer's rank. In 1783 Nelson, while in France, wrote to his father: The highest ranking officer of our naval service must in concert with the idea of his birth date, serve on the week as the holiday of gifts. If he had any say in the matter it is doubtful if he would change things, for he has found that far from being overshadowed by the more generally observed holiday, as many persons might expect, his holiday actually takes place at the same time by reason of close proximity to the general holiday.

Ever since his return from the Philippines he has made his home at Washington—which is the common headquarters for retired as well as active officers of the service. And those officers who do not live there make it a rendezvous, particularly at holiday seasons, and thus it comes about that there were in the capital at Christmas week an exceptional number of friends and acquaintances IN THE NAVY wear fine epaulets, for which I think them great coxcombs. You may suppose I hold them a little for sitting on any, part of a Frenchman's uniform." It was only a few years after this, however, that Nelson himself was wearing an epaulet, not only on a single shoulder, but on both. In the United States navy uniforms were pre-created from the outset—but with the very wise clause, inserted as a parenthesis, "if they can be procured." By a resolution of the continental board of admiralty captains were to have a coat of blue cloth with red lapels, slashed cuffs, a stand-up collar, flat yellow buttons, blue breeches and a red waistcoat with yellow lace. Leutenants were to have a blue coat, red lapels, round cuffs, a stand-up collar, yellow buttons, blue breeches and a plain red waistcoat. Midshipmen were to have a blue coat with lapels, round cuffs, faced with red, a stand-up collar, red at the buttons and button-holes, blue breeches and a red waistcoat. Officers of the marines were to have a uniform, consisting of a pearl face, faced with white, round cuffs, slashed sleeves and pockets with buttons around the cuffs, a silver epaulet on the left shoulder, stirls of the coat turned back (like the uniform of the continental soldier), buttons for the facings, white waistcoat and breeches edged with green, and black gaiters and garters. The marines were to wear green shirts. admiral is a man of strong friendships.

Of course they called upon him on his birthday and he met them at social functions during the week. As for the admiral himself, he lives very quietly these days and he does not introduce many frills in his celebration of his birthday anniversary. On that day, as on every other, he devotes a good share of the late afternoon to a long carriage drive, probably handling the reins himself. Formerly the admiral indulged in a horseback ride as his daily outing, but with advancing years he has almost abandoned this exercise. In addition to his daily ride he is well walking more or less each day, walking to and from his office at the Navy Department Annex building and in this walk, on his birthday, he had as his companion his only son, regarding whom the public has heard so little. The big event of the day, however, was the admiral's dinner party in the evening. The most prominent men in the nation gathered around the festive board and the president of the United States was a guest. The dinner was prepared by the admiral's famous Chinese cook, who has been with him ever since the stirring days at Mamahu and has been for long appetizing dishes. The informal narcissus banquet—with its gorgeous birthday cake—was served in the dining room of the admiral's present home—the house to which he removed when the dwelling given to him by the nation, in gratitude for the victory of May 1, proved rather too small to enable him to entertain his friends as he desired to. This dining room is a very imposing apartment, with green wall hangings, heavy carved furniture and a lofty ceiling studded with electric lights. On one of the long walls of this apartment there is arranged the admiral's palace of pilino weapons, including knives, spears, shields and other pieces of decided decorative value. Conspicuous on the opposite wall is a mounted moose head and an amulet map of the world fashioned from hemp by Filipino weavers. Opening from this room is the breakfast room, which is used by the Deweys for all family and informal dinners. In some respects the most interesting room in the admiral's home is the "blue room," a sort of combination "den," library and living room. The wall coverings, draperies, etc., are all of broached silk in the delicate robin's egg tint, and the upholstery is in harmony with this color scheme. Here are the admiral's reading and writing table and his "favorite corner," containing his lounging chair brought from the Orient and a collection of prized pictures, including original war sketches, autographed photos and other mementos. Seated here the other day the admiral, who does not look within the grip of his seventy years, I have "I relish the little birthday celebrations. I have enjoyed in recent years, all the more because as a boy my birthday anniversary never meant much to me.

I do not recall that, as a boy, I ever received a birthday present and I thought it pretty hard back then." scribed uniforms were ever worn except in cases of great ceremony or where the officer was sitting for his portrait. The facts in the case seem to be that John Paul Jones, Nicholas Biddle, John Barry and other naval heroes of the revolution achieved their greatness in red or blue flannel shirts and in any other clothing that came handy; doublely matched by the ship's tailor, not too neatly, with sail cloth, by the assistance of a marine spike and spun yarn.-Bluejacket. FAMOUS OLD HOUSE Crosby Hall Fine- Example of 15th Century Architecture. Antiquated Building in London Where Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth and Other Distinguished Persons Were Entertained. London.—One of the most interesting houses in London, renowned for its historic associations, is Crosby Hall, in Blahopagate. It has the distinction of not being only the home of great men and the scene where kings and queens, ambassadors and nobles disported, but also of being the most beautiful specimen of fifteenth century domestic architecture in London. Shakespeare dined at its festive board and mentions it in his play of Richard III. Crosby Hall was erected by Sir John Crosby, who was an alderman of London in 1468. It was the highest building in the city and its great hall, the scene of many historic events, was 64 feet long, 27 feet broad and 40 feet high. The Duke of Gloucester, afterwards King Richard III., who was the last Plantagenet king of England and who fell fighting his crown and life on bloody Bosworth field, lived in it at one time and there concurred with his plans for the murder of his nephew, Edward V., and the seizure of the crown. Other royal murders are laid at his door. For many years Sir Thomas More, England's great chancellor, and the author of the ever-famous Utopia, dwelt in peace and dignity within the great mansion. It was from Crosby Hall that he was sent to the Tower, preparatory to his farcical trial at Crosby Hall, London. estminster and his subsequent decapitation, after which his head was placed in London bridge, as a proof of the fickleness of royal favor. Other owners of the hall were Antonio Bovisi, an Italian and an intimate friend of Sir Thomas More, and Ald. Bond, after whom it passed into the possession of Sir John Spencer. During his occupancy of it Crosby Hall was the scene of lavish entertainment. In it the ambassador of Henry IV. of France, who was sent on a grave political mission to England, was received and feasted and at various times Queen Elizabeth and Raleigh, Bacon and Shakespeare and great prinaries in the life of England, great princes and danced, made love and hated, plotted and counterplotted and paraded their virtues and their follies within its walls. Crosby Hall afterward became a Presbyterian meeting house and later still a warehouse. In 1831 it is ancient house was restored and is today the most interesting structures. Thousands of American tourists visit it annually. Queer Laws. Berne, Switzerland—There are in force in Switzerland certain laws which, in the hands of the unscrupulous, may work great havoc with personal rights and liberties. This is a point concerning which there can be no doubt of resistance, in most cantons men and women, uninsured not only for what they have actually done in the past, but also for what may possibly result in the future from what they have done. Suppose a man is spending week by week all that he earns. Then the local authorities, acting in conjunction with the state, may send him to a penal workhouse, next that his conduct is such that he later become destitute, and therefore a burden on the community. The Hippo's Mouth. Cape Town, Africa.—The hippopotamus is a sort of floating island which inhabits the African rivers. To see one rise out of the water and go away is as disconcerting to the tourist as a sand bar out of the Missouri river is as sow. The hippop—life is too short to hold his full name—is a big brother of the pig. He weighs five tons and a gargoyle is cute and pretty beside him. He is fat and fabby, covered with a red-dish skin adorned with bristles, and has a broad, fat head as wide as a horse. The hippopotamus is another of nature's African ancestries. He has mouth enough to do the eating for a boy's boarding school MINNESOTA THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS HISTORICAL BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afo-Americans 6-It is not controlled by any ring or olique 8-It asks no support but the people's. WHERE FAMINE VICTIMS REST Huge Boulder Marks the Graves of Irish Immigrants Who Perished of Ship Fever. Montreal—The request of the Grand Trunk Railway, made to the Railway Commission of Canada, to condemn the shipwreck on St. Etenne street, in this city, which it claims to be necessary to its growing business, has aroused to bitter opposition the Irishmen of Montreal and of all eastern Canada. To Irishmen the old cemetery is sacred ground. In the days of the Boulder Marks Victims' Graves. famine of 1847-48 in Ireland tens of thousands of Irishmen died from their native land. Some entered the United States through the port of New York; thousands came to this city, some to enter the promised land, but many thousands of them to die here of ship fever. In the old cemetery the remains of 6,000 of these famine victims are buried. Until 1859 no monument was erected to mark their resting places. Then a band of Irishmen employed in the construction of the Victoria bridge placed a huge boulder in the cemetery bearing this inscription: "To preserve from desecration the remains of 6,000 immigrants, who died of ship fever, 1847-48, this stone is erected by the workmen of Mosses. Peto Brassey & Betts, employed in the construction of the Victoria bridge, 1859." Irishmen here declare that the appropriation of the cemetery by the railroad would be an act of desecration and their attitude is sustained by members of the race all over Canada. Lawyers have been retained to oppose the railroad before the Railway Commission. ARTS IN TRIBUTE TO WAGNERR Plague to Be Placed on the Palace Wall in Venice Where the Great Master Lived. Paris—Cadorin, the sculptor, has just finished in his studio in Paris, the plaque in marble of Richard Wagner, which is to be placed on the outside wall of the palace, on the Grand canal in Venice, where the great master of music lived, and where his death occurred. Italy's most eminent Gabriel d'Annunziu, wrote the dedication which is under the bust of Wagner. The literal translation is as follows: In This Palace The Last Breath of Richard Wagner In Hesperia by John Schoen Perpetuate itself like the Tide Which Laps the Marble. Thus the poet who in his "Il Fuoco" speaks of Wagner as the "Teuton who has stolen away the Italian birth- @ GUSTO MALAGIO L'ATENA CON LA MARIA WAGNER DONO LE PAPE PERPETUATE COME LA MARIA CHE LANE, L'AMOR The Wagner Plague. right," meaning that he has surpassed the Italianus in music, in which they wrote the right to excel, pays a tribute to the genius that inspired his pen. Camels Like Tobacco. Rome, Italy—An Italian army officer back from Morocco says that in that country the fiercest camels are made tractable by tobacco, a new invention. When a camel lies down and won't budge, a three-cornered piece of wood is placed in his mouth. At the outer end is a hole and in this a cigar is stuck. As soon as the cigar is in, Mr. Camel rises and marches as he blows it, but only as long as he inhales the smoky air when the cigar is finished the camel becomes fierce again and must be bribed with another. Ancient Custom in England. London.—By virtue of a custom so ancient that its origin is wholly forgotten, it will be a schoolboy, not a high dignitary of the empire, who will first acclaim the new monarch when King George V. is crowned at Westminster abbey. The Westminster school is 350 years old, and for centuries the young captain of the school was the first "God save the king!" after the coronation ceremony. After him the peers repeat the end, and then it is taken up by the entire congregation and the multitude outside. $2.40 PER YEAR RULES WITH A ROD Picturesque Career of Porfirí Diaz, President of Mexico. Originally a Revolutionist, for Thirty Years This Remarkable Man Has Governed the Republic With Autocratic Power. City of Mexico—President Porfirí Diaz, who has been inaugurated president of Mexico for the eighth time, for years has been forming about him a system that makes him one of the most powerful and autocratic sovereigns of any country in the world. The 28 states of Mexico are governed by 28 men of President Diaz's personal choice. The 226 prefects are also his appointees, who have the power to make arrests, judge and execute prisoners. In Mexico a man who commits a misdemeanor instead of serving his time in jail must serve it in the army. Officers of the army are privileged to kill any subordinate who disobeys a command. The result is that President Diaz, to whom all military officers are responsible, rules with an iron hand. President Diaz was born in Oaxaca in 1830. His mother was a full-blooded Indian belonging to the large and powerful tribe of Zapotee in the state of Oaxaca. His father was a Spanard, who died in 1838, leaving his widow with no other property than five healthy children, of which little Porfirí was one. He studied law under Benito Jaurez, who subsequently became president of the republic, and was the first man against whom young Lawyer Diaz raised his hand in rebellion. Diaz fought against the Americans invading Mexico in 1847 and 1848. For the next 11 years he was frequently in revolutions for or against some favorite candidate of the republic. In 1860 Diaz, who had now become a colonel, was sent to congress where he asked the president in the name of his people in the State of Oaxaca to make them such concessions as he well knew would not be granted. Up- on the refusal Diaz raised an army of 1000 Indians and started another revolution. It was quickly quelled and Col. Diaz and his followers fled for their lives and for several years lived in the mountains, making frequent raids in the lowlands. He made overtures to President Jaurez for amnesty for himself and his band of followers. It was granted. In 1863, when Napoleon III sent his troops to take Mexico with the object of making it a French dependency, Col. Diaz was made a brigadier-general, and he resumed army town, and was married to Mrs. Delfina Sanchez y Ortega. Col. Diaz was defeated for the presidency in 1870 and he started another revolution. He was defeated and fled to Texas. In 1875 Diaz, after many adventures, smuggled himself back to his native state, Oaxaca. In 1877 both Sebastian Lerdo De Tejada and Diaz claimed to have been elected president. Diaz raised the biggest army in support of his claim and fled to the United States. Since then Diaz has been president of Mexico. From the moment he seized the reins of government he has worked to surround himself with a corps of faithful subordinates. An astute and skillful soldier himself he has made the government a military one. Every governor must have a military standing for the laws of Mexico require every officer and soldier to swear allegiance to his superior and as the president is the commander in chief of the army, every member of his vast army has taken a personal oath to obey him. For thirty years President Diaz has been building up an army which at present has more than two million numbers, 2,000,000. As stated every man who commits a crime must serve his time in the army. At the end of his term, he is released a finished soldier. From the time of his release he must report at regular intervals to his captain and be subject to service at a moment's notice.

It is about concluded that Kansans, in response to what they say is the challenge of Virginia, will contribute to the "national valhalla," to be company with John James Ingalls, a statue of John Brown, of Osawatomie and of Harpers Ferry.

And it furthermore hopes that the statues will be placed directly opposite each other like Jachin and Boa in the porch of King Solomon's Temple.

Great popular interest attaches to the immigration and naturalization of allens, and much of the Secretary's report is devoted to that subject. Promotion of employees by merit and not entirely by scholastic examination is treated at length by Secretary Nagel, who believes scholastic examination may be proper when an applicant enters the Government services. The conditions within the service, he thinks, call for an entirely different test for promotion. Secretary Nagel puts himself on record in favor of some sort of superannuation or retirement for clerks. He believes compulsory retirement for age or disability would be an economical measure for the Government and expresses the opinion that if salarials of clerks are to remain as they are, the Government can afford to provide a straight pension without contributions from employees.

A single farming county in Alabama with a negro population of 80 per cent of the total shows a loss of 8,000 inhabitants in ten years. The negro has abandoned the cotton farm for the coal mine, or the iron works, or city life. He left the farm because the white man next him grew more cotton the acre planted than he could produce, and that is a law inexorable and self-executing. The Afro-American has left the farm and gone into the mill, because on the former the rule is to cheat him out of the last cent, while in the latter he is paid good wages at short intervals. We notice that according to Southern journals, the Afro-American gets all the prizes for first bales and best cotton. How is that? ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER. The Baltimore Star of last Saturday has a whole page of religious news. The Epworth Leaguers are organizing a mission study; the Baptist Union is busy; the Women's Missionary Society has some new scheme to convert the heathen. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will hear an address on "The Forward Movement;" the Presbyterians will have a conference to discuss "A Vital Question for Every Church;" the Catholics are at work along many lines and the Methodists are getting ready for a "Monster Methodist Mass Prayer Meeting." While all of the alleged religious work was going on, the city council enacted the law practically establish ing a Ghetto for Afro-Americans. American Christianity as exemplified in Baltimore and many other communities is a farce pure and simple. The "bought and sold" voters of Adams county, Ohio, are in a panic. The crush has become so great that Judge Blair cannot find time to hear long confessions. The indictments will probably run up into the thousands. The prices for votes ranged from $2 to $30. Rev. Isaac Hilton admits selling his vote for $10. The especial attention of Negro-baiters, who charge the race with venal voting, is called to the fact that every man indicted is of pure Caucasian ancestry. According to Dr. Eugen Oberhummer, professor of historical geography at the University of Vienna, who lectured recently before the Washington Academy of Sciences, the present so-called white people of Europe and America are descended from Africans and Asiatic. By means of charts and anthropological explanations, Dr. Oberhummer traced the evolution of African and Asiatic types to the present day population of Europé and America. Recently a foundling home in New York sent 52 babies to Texas, where they were adopted by Southern families. The managers of the foundlings' home have done those babies a great wrong.

A pair of pincers that lock when they are closed and that require considerable force to open have been invented by a California man, and men who use pincers that need a tight grip will appreciate the implement. The jaws are locked by dovetail tongues that enter sockets at their inner ends. Nor is CIRCULAR COMPASS Looking Pincers. this tool only to be used as pincers. On either side of the jaws are a hammer and punch, and the dividers are removably attached and are held in place by thumb screws so that they can be taken out at any time when they are likely to be bent by the work to which the tool is being used or to scratch the user. Midway up the handle, too, is the rule by which the spacing of the dividers can be regulated. Going back to the pincers it should be mentioned that their jaws are so curved that when closed they surround a circular opening by means of which pipes or other round bodies may be accommodated, though, of course, the jaws will not lock if they do not meet at the outer ends. ATTACH WHEELS TO SLEIGH Conveyance That Is Hardy When One Is Caught Miles From Home After Snow Is Melted. Any person who has been sleighing up to the eleventh hour and got caught miles from home after the snow had melted will appreciate the invention of a Minnesota man hope described. This invention is nothing less than a wheel attachment for sleights which enables the driver to get home without difficulty, even if the snow is all gone. Two pairs of wheels are attached to the body of the sleigh, with the front and rear crank axles mounted on bvbots. A SLEIGH Sleigh With Wheels. bar running through the two axles is adjustably connected to the rear support of the sleigh body. A strong spring keeps the wheels clear of the ground when they are not in use, but when needed they are let down, and the connecting bar locked so that the sleigh rests on the wheels and tue runners are several inches above the ground. It takes only a few minutes to make the change and the vehicle may be used comfortably in places where the conditions of the road vary. Utilize Manufacturing Waste. To utilize manufacturing waste is in some cases a serious problem, and a committee of the American Chemical society, under the chairmanship of G. Alleman, Swarthmore, Pa., has undertaken a solution. Manufacturers are to report the waste available. Each kind will be given scientific investigation, and it is expected that materials hitherto lost will become economical new sources of chemical elements and of various profitable new products. Non-Inflammable Celluloid. A noninfilmable cellulolus has been patented by Prof. A. Gautier.

TEMPERED COPPER RUZZLES Excavations In Babylon Territory Revives Old Problem—l Jewelry 6,000 Years Old. Recent archaeological investigations in the Babylon territory have been made in the lowest stratum of the ruins of several ancient cities, notably Nippur, Blisma and Telloh, and with the excavations the old puzzle of tempered copper has once more been brought to the attention of students and workers in metal. The implements which were found and the jewelry are about 6,000 years old, and just three metals seem to have been known at that time—silver, rare gold in abundance, and copper for all practical as well as ornamental purposes Bronze was quite unknown, but the remarkable part of the copper implements is that they seemed to be so tempered and hardened that the jewel cutters and cameo engravers were able to cut the hardest substances as delicately and intricately as a modern artisan can with all his appliances. A careful analysis of the copper tools gives no evidence of an alloy, and the lost process remains a mystery to moderns. The jewelry is discovered, including gold filled half pins, necklaces and numerous beads, copper rings of all sorts, and pins and gold rosetts set with stones, is beautifully designed and proves that the smiths of that most remote age were skilful and artistic workers. Even such implements as scythes and other implements of agriculture as well as weapons have been found made of pure copper and hardened to wear and cut like steel. COT FOR TRAVELING INFANT Can Be Hung Over Back of Car Seat Permits Child to Sleep in Peace and Comfort. The problem with what to do with baby on a long railroad ride has been solved by a California man. He has devised a collapsible cot, which can be bung on the back of the seat in front and in which the child can sleep in peace and comfort—for himself, his parents and the other passengers. This cot or berth consists of a bottom to ```markdown ``` Infant's Traveling Cot support a tiny mattress and hinged slides to fold down upon it when not in use and open up for supports when the cot is in use. Around the whole affair goes a metal hanger frame, from which arise two U-shaped books, which hook over the back of the seat, ahead and support the little berth without interfering with the occupants of the forward seat. As this article takes up little room when folded, it will be a blessing by mothers who have to take infants on long trips, as it can be adjusted in a few moments and the little one allowed to take his rest without encumbering his parent. Hardened Steel Dies Hardened steel dies are produced by electrolytic etching in a recently patented German process. A die-block of hard steel is first made, and this is placed in contact with a plaster of Paris reverse model made conducting by saturation with sal ammonia. With the special dynamo, with a capacity of 30 amperes at 1 to 15 volts, the die-block is etched to a depth of one-sixteenth inch in four or five hours.

Hiawata Temple, that has been the scene of many elegant social functions, has seldom been graced by a handsome gathering of handsome, handsomely gowned ladies and more gallant gentlemen than were present at the inaugural ball of the waiters of Hotel St. Paul, on last Thursday evening. Nor has any entertainment been more elegant in conception and in consummation. The invitations which were issued were as elegant as could be, the admission cards could not have been improved and the dance programs were the most superb and dainty that have been furnished for any function in the city. The guests were rather late in gathering but before "Home Sweet Home" was played by the McCullough full orchestra, upward of 250 were present and a more pleasant and delightful gathering could not be imagined. The ladies were superbly gowned and the gentlemen were resplendent in "evening clothes" and smiles of satisfaction. Shortly after "noon at night" Mr. H. J. Prescott, the headwaiter of Hotel St. Paul, and who is in no small measures responsible for the elegant affair, was introduced by the chairman of the committee of arrangements, Mr. W. E. Alexander, and made a little speech filled with most complimentary statements in reference to the men under his charge, that made all present feel proud of him and his men. He referred in glowing terms of the efficiency, faithfulness and general good deportment of his men. He told how he managed to work them into the hotel and how they had pleased the patrons and the proprietors and promised them a remain there so long as he did. He told how their service had increased the hotel space and added to the fame of the name of the speech was punctured with rapturous anplause as he proceeded. He referred specially to Messrs. W. L. B. Plummer, William England and W. E. Alexander as being almost indispensable to him and indefatigable in their efforts to improve the service and the personnel of the men. He wound up his address by reading the following from a prominent guest of the hotel: Ladies and Gentlemen—You look happy, you are a happy people. All your history and traditions abound with good cheer. All the funny stories about you are funnier than any other stories because we know you, understand you, and love you. Our best and most enduring songs are of you—The Swanee River, for example. And the one national air that thrills everybody to the echo is of the land made mellow by you—"Dixie." I am glad to claim you as my friends for you are helpful, reliable and loyal, and we are getting along fine. No more slow service. That reminds me of the story that the男士 who sat so long that three different waiters asked him if he would have soup when the third man asked him in an angry way: "Is it compulsory?" "No sir," said the waiter, "I think its Mock Turtle." I extend to you the good wishes of many people at the hotel, and myself wish you a happy prosperous New Yer. Good Night. When Mr. Prescott concluded his remarks the hall rang with spontaneous applause. Evidently Mr. Prescott has a warm place in the hearts of men. During the entire evening the guests had been served, ad libitum, with champagne punch and mirable dictu, the gentlemen had been furnished fine cigars, as many as they wished (this was a new and very pleasing innovation). About 1:00 o'clock the guests v're seated around the large hall and reception room and were served a bountiful superb luncheon, consisting of turkey salad, bread and butter sandwiches, Neapolitan ice cream, assorted cakes and coffee. At 3:00 o'clock the guests doned their wraps, entered their taxies and were whirled to their several homes, everyone in a happy frame of mind and loud in their praise of the first grand ball of the waiters of Hotel St. Paul, and hereafter their grand ball is to an annual event that will be looked forward to with pleasurable anticipations. The committee of arrangements that is mainly entitled to the credit of this grand affair is as follows: W. E. Alexander, W. L. B. Plummer, Wm. England, M. A. Johnson, Geo. N. Lewis, R. S. Harris and A. B. Scott. "THE JOLL GIRLS." The Attraction at the Star Next Week. "The Jolly Girls" Company, a musical aggregation whose name is synonymous with success and who has established a reputation for the excellence of its performances, is the coming attraction at the Star theatre next week, and to those who enjoy this class of entertainment it to the Star will be more than amply entertained, as no other attraction of its kind that has on its roster such high class entertainers as "The Jolly Girls" Company. The usual style of these companies LookOutForIt! Lincoln's Birthday Celebration, Contest Drill and Grand Banquet has been dispensed with and instead the management has provided two burtletts, "The Flying Man From Mexico" and "An Irish Pasha." These two comedies could easily be used with a Broadway attraction. The vehicles are splendid ones for the introduction of bright and catchy music, introduced by 25 dashing damsels. They are attired in an array of gorgeous and costly costumes. There is also plentry of humor and comedy injected at the proper periods by comedians of tact and ability. Among the leading members of "The Kennedy," will Harlows, the three Armstrongs, Luella Temple and Etta Victoria. This show deserves the position it has attained, for they give a performance of merit and one which appeals to the masses as well as the classes. "NO CLINKERS."

For the first time outside of the $1.50 houses, Eugene Walter's famous play of American Life, "Paid in Full" comes to the Grand for the week of Jan. 8. The cast Wagenhals & Kemper offer for this engagement is the same seen for the past two seasons in the leading theaters of the South and West. Thomas Coffin Cook, succeeded by many critics as the best, Joe Brooks the stage has ever seen, has played this part ever since the play was first produced at the Astor Theatre, New York. Frank C. Burton, while not the first to play Capt. Williams, soon succeeded Frank Sheridan who originated the part; his Capt. Williams is doubtless one of the best performances of this character this play has seen. Miss Mabel Acken as Emma Brooks has met with favor everywhere. Miss Agnes Herndon, the well-known actress, is still seen in the part of Mrs. Harris, as is Miss Lillian Clare as Beth Harris, Mr. Albert Andruss as James Smith and Mr. Adrian Raslay as the Jap make up a cast like of which has never been seen in the popular priced houses. The original complete Astor Theatre production is used. Children Teething.

SETTLING THE DOCTOR'S BILL How Benevolent Physician Did a Kindness Without Wounding Pride of Patient. The late Dr. Cruellierhier of Paris was a man of unbounded liberality. One day he heard that a poor young woman, whose husband was a clerk in the war office, had been taken seriously ill. He went to see her, attended her for a month, and finally cured her. At the end of this period he perceived that the husband wished to ask him for his account and for time to pay it in. He did not like to hurt the young man's feelings, and, noticing an Algerian carpet in the room worth about 15 francs, he exclaimed: "What a lovely piece of carpet you have got there!" "Ah, doctor," said the husband, "if you think you would like to have it—" "I should indeed very much like to have it. Look here, we will make a bargain. You owe me 200 francs for my visits. Your carpet is worth 300. Here are a hundred francs, and I'll take it with me." And he left, glad to have done the poor people a kindness without wounding their pride. War and Finance. Money life here has yet not reached a chivalric stage, nor has it anywhere else in the world. In money matters this age's faces too often reflect the 'cold', pallid face of the craft, cave-dwelling man and his cannibalistic devices and traps. Tip takes it that the money world's life is still in primitive state of evolution. Later will come higher morals, honor, ave, chivalry, for the game of money and war and hunting are plainly worked from the same part of the brain, and history of one will be the story of the others. Great charity should be shown the financial faces of today, for many such faces only represent the fag and exhaustion, wear and tear, that proceed from a too severe application to a too narrow intellectual specialty. This makes a cross, tired, worn face. For some of the most just and good hearted of men and women have a quick, snappy temper, and no wonder.—New York Press.

Nowadays we use penknives principally for sharpening pencils. There was a time, however, when they were used, primarily, for doing something else. They used to be just what their name would indicate. They were "penknives." A penknife used to be just what its name would indicate—a "penknife." The ancients used pens made of goose quills, just as our own forefathers did up to about a hundred years ago. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or "nib" on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has outlived the quill pen a hundred years—"penknife." In the olden times the penknife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk. When the clasp-knife came in, the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called "jack-knives"—"jack" signifying anything masculine or big and strong. How th Ed. w Lived had typ that sic ways w to hobb Wi Wise cond How a Little Wisdom Came to the Wises The Wise’s house looked homelike to the long legged bird that hovered overheard. Favorably impressed, he softly deposited on the steps, his wee burden of blessedness. The Wise’s pleasure at the Stork’s thoughtfulness was tempered by Mrs. Wise’s following illness and her inability to provide nourishment for the Blessing. It looked as tho the precious gift might be taken away. Wise’s doctor saved the day. He said “DIGESTO.” Mrs. Wise became healthy and rosy and the Blessing became healthy and rosy. One more credit mark for DIGESTO. It is a necessity before and after the Stork’s visit. For Sale by All Druggists MANUFACTURED BY THEO. HAMM BREWING CO. ST. PAUL, MINN.
