The Appeal

New Year's Day "Old year, you shall not die; We did so laugh and cry with you, We laid so sleep on you, Old year, if you must die." IME and tide wait not. so we are gathered or more around the couch the dying year, whose s plight has been fra with success old failures, with and with joy to the son men. With friendly ings of regret we watch solemn passing. The w sighing of the winter IME and tide wait not. And so we are gathered once more around the couch of the dying year, whose short lifetime, has been fraught with new experiences and old failures, with sorrow and with joy to the sons of men. With friendly feelings of regret we watch his passing. The weary sighing of the winter wind over the frozen snow is a mournful dreg of days that are gone, for the irrevocable past. Chastening some with the livery of heart and wooful loss, showing blessings, happiness and upon others the year that is "dying in the night" has strive mightly to tobe the friend of all. Ever where unmerited misfortune has swamped the high spirit and bruised the aching heart, the old year's passing stirs memories of regret for bright hopes faded, and of gratitude for the few radiant gleams of Apprehension which have illumined the dark. By a natural force of habit, with man's staging moments of the old year are deceived by spiritual stock-taking. The mis and the offence the past are canvassed during this "moral of last year's sins" reservation for performers adopted for a guidance.

By nature, force of habit, with many the declining moment of the old year are devoted to a sort of spiritual stalking. The mistakes and the offences of the past have vanquished over during this "burial of last year", sins, and misdeeds of information adopted for guidance. It has been said that those who make good resolutions are only those who break them. Too often they are simply the impotent products of lingering habit, aroused to life in the bewildering swirl of a customary moral house cleaning, and doomed to a brief existence. A momentary repentance, induced by the solemnity and associations of the season, does not much material change in the moral capacity of a clean living. Generally, something is bound to give when new wine is put into old bottles.

But hush! the hour is near. The old man is breathing hard, his eyes grow dim, the death is spreading over his hollow cheeks and wrinkled brows. Soon he will be gone, forgot, brought to drown and sorrow, the joy and delight, he brought to cross the waste his son and heir doth ride posthaste", and we prepare to salute the rising sun, and rafters ring with "The king is dead, long live the king." And so, unmindful of "benefits forgot, with regret and remembrance buried deep in the joy of the moment, we halt the signals of the momentous change—the blaring of stress and the boom of cannon, the cheering of reveling crowds and the mad joyous clangor of multitudinous bells.

Time measured slow But found the old Year's doom at last. New Year with youthful smile steps in With scepter in his hand and claims The Earth as his domain. Within His days great men may write their names; Nations may rise, may fall and die; Mysteries their secrets may unfold, But ere he knows shall come the cry "New Year, thou art among the old!" THE NATIONAL YEAR --- CAN YOUR BABY FIND ITS NOSE Here Are Some of the Tests for Determining Normal Child. If a child of three years knows his name and can thrust a chubby finger to his nose, mouth and eyes, when asked about those organs, he's a normal kid. If he can't, then it's time papa and mamma got busy with petty's little think tank, or he'll grow up to be a boob. This, in plain Boweryesque, is the translation of the formula given in scientific terms by the medical savants of the Mental Hygiene conference and exhibit, who are holding 'tests of children' in the hall of the city college, remarks the New York Journal. "A child of four," continues the scientific formula, "is expected to know its sex and to be able to recognize such objects as a key, knife or a penny, and to tell the comparative length of lines. "At five a boy or girl should be able to draw a square and to repeat sentences. When a child is six we ask for definitions. I might ask: 'What is it for?' It is a boy answered: I eat with a fork, it would be sufficient for that age, but if he inserted the word 'something' in his definition, as 'A fork is something to eat with', it would place him in the eight-year class. If he said: 'A piece of tableware, he would be in the twelve-year class." A child of ten is asked what he would do if he missed a train. Here the answers vary. Any reply that is an answer is accepted. One child said: "Watt for another." Another said he would "run and catch it." While a boy from the Bronx said he would go home for the day. What to do if struck by a playmate was the most puzzling of all questions. Boys invariably looked at their mothers when the question was put. "Forgive him," was the answer only a few times. The best examination passed so far was by seven-year-old Donald Grant of 507 West 138th street, who passed the examination for the child of ten. Defective Page a new face at the door." Bacchus and Venus and bright-eyed Hebe give welcome and homage to the newcomer, and salute the opening of his reign with mirtful song and joyous laughter. The festive celebration of the new year has been a silent feature in the social life of all civilized peoples and ancient and modern, and that characteristic persists. The time at which the year began varied much among different nations. The Carthaginians, Egyptians, Persians and other nations of antiquity began their year at the autumnal equinox, New Year's day falling on September 20, of modern reckoning, which is also the beginning of the Jewish civil year. The Greeks chose December 22, and afterward June 22. January 1 was first adopted by the Romans, when Julius Caesar brought the civil year into close harmony with the solar, in B. C. 46, but, for many centuries, the example was not followed by subsequent European nations. At one time there were seven different dates for the beginning of the year among the Christian nations, and even successive triples, until comparatively recent times, scarcely matched the same chronology. Russia and the eastern Constantine dated from September 1, and the Mohammedan year, being dependent on the phases of the moon, had and has no fixed beginning. January 1 became the accepted date of the New Year among the Catholic nations of Europe in 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced the new style of reckoning, and corrected the accumulated discrepancies between the Julian computation and the actual solar year by striking ten days out of the almanac of that year. By 1700 this date was in general use throughout Europe, but it was not until 1752 that England and her American colonies adorned it. Ancient and modern civilized peoples, while differing as to the day from which they reckoned the beginning of the civil year, have agreed in distinguishing it by special festivities and religious observances. The Romans dedicated January 1 to the oldest of their gods, Janus of the two faces, one youthful and one symbol of the wisdom of the god who and can peer into the future. They sacrificed to him on twelve altars, and were careful so to order their conduct on New Year's day that every word and action should be a happy augury of the twelve months of the coming year. Kindly salutations and presents of figs, dates and sweetmeats were exchanged among the people, holiday dress was worn, and feasting became universal. New presents present is under the Oceans a source of great profit to the ruler, and an onerous burden to his subjects. The infamous Caligula, making it known that his daughter required a dowry at the New Year, walked barefooted over the piles of gold which covered the courtyard of his palace—gifts of the terrorized Roman citizens. How this custom persisted down the ages may be gathered from acce the New Year contributions of her subjects, and although she made retirements, it is related that she took good care to have the balance well in her own tavor. The early fathers of the church reproduced the imperial and superstitious observances of the pagan festivals, and directed that the Christian year should be enclosed with a day of worship, the hymn of the festivals, the festive character of the day, over, pertinently clung to it throughout the area, and the church preserved its religious aspect, by making it a festival in commemoration of the circus celebration. In Catholic countries, New Year's day is a holiday of strict obligation, opening with a solemn midnight mass and the singing of the "the Deum. Many Protestant, churchmen had a "watch night service" through the last three hours of service, and song and song exhortation—which has hushed into a few minutes of silent meditation as the midnight hand draws near, and as forth into a song of praise, greeting moment of the new year. Once again a year has vanished, To the realm of bygones banished, Where the past years sleep in glory— Not forgotten—gone before— And the New Year comes to greet us, On the wings of Time to meet us, And to tell the old, old story Of the years that are no more. In the wings of Time, swift flying, Lies the Old Year, sighing, dying, Borne to join the host that slumbers On that distant unknown shore— Borne to join the countless legion, That have crossed that mystic region, And are counted with the numbers In that land of Nevermore. Once again the bells are ringing, Tidings of the New Year bringing, With the blythe and gladsome clangor Of the bells that rang of yore, And their glad and tuneful pealing, Brighter, fairer skies revealing, Bids us banish sorrow, anger, Think of gladness yet in store. Let us greet the New Year gladly— Though we miss the old one sadly— Let us banish skies or her. Let our dreams be even air— Let us banish care and sorrow, Hope for gladness on the morrow— Let us build for days before us Brighter castles in the air. ISLES OF SCILLI Group That Are Situated South west of England. Period at Which Islands Were Separated from the Mainland Must Be Far Beyond the Reach of History. London—People sometimes apply the term Lyonnese to the whole of Cornwall, which is a mistake. If there ever was such a land at all it lay westward of Cornwall, and the Scilies are its relics. The name of Arthur plays like a lambent light about the district; but the period at which the Scilies were sepaarted from the mainland must be far beyond the reach of history, which in England can only explore about two thousand years backward. The Lyonnese of romance extended to the southwest of Land's End, and was connected in race and legend with the Leon of Brittany. As a matter of geology the tradition has no satisfactory explanation, though there are traces of submerged forests in Mount's Bay, and the old Cornish name of St. Michael's Mount represents rock as having once stood in the center of woodland. In reality the islands are the last upheavals of that backbone of granite which is so impressive on Dartmoor and which again comes into notice on the Bedminshorn. True, ocean depth does not begin till far beyond the islands, so that in its relation to the great submarine platform Scilly may be considered structurally attached to Britain, as Britain is to the Continent. Some portion of the vanished region has been adjoined the coasts of Mount's Bay, the year 1099, when, according to the Saxon chronicle, Lyonnese was destroyed in a great tempest. When we come to the genuine history of Scilly there are some interesting things to notice. The islands seem to have been used as a penal settlement in Roman times; and in the sixth century they gave a home to the Welch St. Samson, who became bishop of Dol, and who has left footprints in Guernsey as well as in Devon and Cornwall. The Isle of Samson is now uninhabited, but it may have had a fairly large population when the saint established an oratory here; there are many traces of early occupation. The many more interesting as the home of Walter the Athenian; Early in the tenth century Athenia made a conquering expedition through Cornwall, and is said to have spied these isles from the high land at St Buryan—the day must have been uncommonly clear. He vowed to build a church on the spot where he stood if Typical Scilly Farm House. he returned safely from their conquest. Probably he met with little resistance on the islands, where he is supposed to have founded Tresco Abbey. Later, in the same century, a Scillonian had the credit of creating the Raven King Olaf of Norway. After harrying the coast of Brittany and Ireland Olaf sighted the Scillies and ran his vessel into what is now the harbor of St. Mary's. A hermit here gave him timely warning of a mutiny that was about to take place among his own troops; he crushed the revolt, but was severely wounded. Carried to the monastery at Tresco, he was there nursed into health and Christianity, consenting to receive baptism. PLAN TO LOWER LIVING COST Columbus Graduates Say Auction of Foodstuffs Would Help the People. New York—The establishment of city markets at which food products shall be sold by auction to retailers and consumers is the remedy for the high cost of living proposed by a committee of Columbus graduate students which has been making an extensive inquiry into the subject. This scheme, the committee believes, is the best of all of our own necessary costs in distribution, as it would do away with jobbers. Hurt Saying Doll.

OLD HOME OF SIR REYNOLDS Wonderful Landscape Scenes Are Described in Verse by Noted Artists London.—All artists, and lovers of paintings will be interested to know that Wick House, on Richmond hill, once the residence of the great painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds, is, like many other noble mansions in the neighborhood, in the market. It is situated on that wonderful terrace at Richmond, whence one of the most perfect views of marvelous scenery in southern England can be obtained. Poets and novelists, as well as artists, have tried to describe its perfections. No wonder the beauty-loving eye of Sir Joshua was attracted by the scene. He ordered the architect, Sir William Chambers, to build for him this house on the site of an old cottage, which was demolished in order to make room for the artist's dwelling place. It has been much enlarged since Sir Joshua's Home of Sir Joshua Reynolds. time. From the window of the drawing room he painted one of his very few landscapes. And what a wonderful view it is which is commanded by the terrace! The beautiful River Thames is seen like a glam of silver descending through the rich landscape and curving round the foot of the hill, its banks thickly wooded. Ham House, the historic seat of the earl of Dysart, Petersham, and Twickenham are in sight, and far away in the dim distance rises the round tower of Windor, and on the left the outline of the Surrey hills. The poet Thompson curbed this scene in his "seasonal," when the beauties of "Summer" inspired his pen: Here let us swear The bounded landscape; now the raptured eye Exulting, swift to hure Augusta send; The sierra hills that skirt her plain. To forty Harrow now, and now to where Majestic Windsor lifts his prized brow in lovely contrast to this glorious view. He goes on to "describe where silver Thames first rural grows," Ham's embowering walks, and the matchless vale of the great river, Pope lay ill on his deathbed when Thompson wrote, and so he points to the Muse' haunt, Twitnam's bowers, and implores to heaven the healing of his friend, and then proceeds to recount other beauties of the scene. Another man describes about them Sir Walter Scott in the "heart of Midlothian" makes the duke of Argyll and Jeane Deans alight from the carriage to contemplate the wondrous landscape. We need not retell the grand description painted by the great writer; but when the duke tells Jeane that there is nothing like in Scotland, Jeanie remarks on the fine breed of cows, but adds: "I like as well to look at the craigs of Arthur' Seat and the sea coming in ayont them, as at a' the muckle trees." It would never do for "auld Scotland" to be beaten. CAN'T ESCAPE HIS SHADOW Englishman Unable to Prosecute Man Who Follows Everywhere And Wife London.—A remarkable story was related at the Highgate Police court by a young man who applied for a summons against another man. He told the magistrate that some months ago he summoned the man for threatening him, and the man was then cautioned. Since that time the man had been followed in man and wife about wherever they went, although they lived at Finchley and he at Crouch End. The man never said anything to them, but simply followed them, and when they went Indoors he walked up and down outside watching the house. "It is not that I mind much," added the applicant, "but it's not very nice for my wife." "It is quite entitled to the use of the road," said the judge, "and in following you and your wife he is offending against no statute. He is quite within the limits of the law." GUN BETTER THAN SERMONS Methodist Missionary Tells How His Prowess as Hunter 'Won Over the Hindus. San Francisco. — Skill with a big game rifle has contributed much to his success as a missionary, in the opinion of the Rev. H. A. Musser, who, with him, won two bows arrived from the orient on the Tengyo Maru. Eight years ago, as district superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal church, he went to the mountains and jungles of central India. "The meek and mild type of missionary is slow to gain the confidence of the Hindus," said Mr. Musser. "Much of my success was due to the fact that I was of assistance to the lives in India, whose have hunted lions, tigers and elephants; and I believe the barking of my cause has done more for the missionary cause than my preaching." RELIGS OF KREWLIN Inolosure Has Long Been Crowning Place Of Czars. Ivan or Bell Tower Contains 36 Beils — In Front of the Arsenal Can Still Be Seen the "Great Gun." Moscow.—The Kremlin, like the Forbidden City in Pelik, is inclosed by a wall entirely independent of that encircling the city, says William Wisner in the National Geographic Magazine. It marks the part which escaped the great conflagration when the outlying districts of Moscow were burned by the Russians, who were besieged by Napoleon. The present wall replaced one oak—some 500 years ago—which, like the Great Wall of China, was erected as a defense from the war. Within this inclusion is the imperial palace, the treasury, the arsenal and three cathedrals, which for centuries have respectively been the places of the crowning, the marrying and the burying of the czars of this great nation. The inclusion also contains a convent and many great monuments. On one side, far below, flows the River Moskva, from which the city takes its name. From the river's opposite bank the view of the splendor of this collection of buildings is unsurpassed. Probably nowhere in the world does an inclusion of the dimensions of that described by the wall of the Kremlin contain precious stones approximating the value of those displayed here. It is not a statement that they should not be counted by the peck. To guard them 800 soldiers are constant in and around these buildings. The Ivan or Bell tower is the most conspicuous structure in the inclosure and contains 36 bells, two of which are of silver, the largest of the collection weighing 65 tons. This large bell seems to lose its magnitude when we come to examine the one resting on a stone foundation. Tower and Gate of the Kremlin. just outside the tower, which weighs 200 tons. It was originally intended to hang within the walls, but soon after it was cast a fire destroyed the building which sheltered it, causing nine gaping cracks and the displacement of a piece of the bell weighing nine tons. Owing to this misfortune, its tongue has ever remained mute. Not far from the bell tower stands the arsenal, in front of which is a display of $50 bronze cannon, trophies captured from the Turks and French. Prominent among these is the "great three" his feet, surrounded by so thin a shell that regard for safety probably accounts for the fact that it, like the great bell, has never spoken. These two curios, coupled with Moscow's prevalent paving material, are spoken of as the three ancient wonders of the city. "The heaviest bell cannon which never was fired, and the greatest amount of cobblestone pavement" (which ought to be fired). HIT IN EYE, REGAINS VISION Oklahoma Pastor Sees Again—Due to Missile Shot From Rubber Band. Oklahoma City—A bit of tinfolk flipped from a rubber band by a child is declared to have caused the restoration of the eyesight of the Rev. G. G. Rupert, pastor of a local church, who had been blind for 28 years. The missile fired at random by a grandchild of the minister, hit him in one of the eyes, and to alleviate the pain hot clothes were applied. This occurred several days ago, and when it was apparent that his sight was being restored the applications were continued. Practically normal vision returned. Rev. Mr. Rupert became suddenly blind while conducting revival services in Birmingham, O., in 1884. Ellot Disciple's Hell. Boston,—I do not believe in hell," declared Dr. Charles W.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1912. With this issue of THE APPEAL the year of 1912 comes to an end; it has been quite eventful, as have all of the 27 years of its existence. That it must have served its patrons well, is evidenced by the fact that it is still doing business at the old stand. Several Afro-American newspapers have suspended during the year for lack of support. In the coming year the Afro-American people will doubtless need the aid of the newspapers devoted to their interest, more than ever before, and it behooves them to rally to their support with renewed determination. We are very thankful to our patrons for the support given to THE APPEAL during 1912 and trust we may have a continuance of the same for 1913. We hope all may have health and happiness, peace and prosperity; we wish all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Some event of unusual interest has happened each month during the year 1912, now drawing to a close, among which might be mentioned the burning of the Equitable Insurance building in New York in January; the announcement of the candidacy of Roosevelt for the presidency in February; the announcement of the discovery of the south pole by Amundsen in March; the great Titanic disaster in April; the death of Wilbur Wright, the aviator, in May; the renaming of Taft and the birth of the Bull Moose party in June; the death of the Mikado of Japan in July; the death of Wm. Booth, head of the Salvation Army in August; the Nicaraguan revolt in September; the Balkan war in October; the election of Wilson in November and the famous meeting of the House of Governors in December. Thirteen proved to be very unlucky for Sam McVey on last Thursday, as he was knocked out in the thirteenth round of a prize fight, by Sam Langford, at Sidney, Australia. But on the other hand thirteen was quite lucky for Langford, who won in the thirteenth round. As a matter of fact there is nothing in the idea that 13 is either unlucky or lucky. ```markdown ``` FATHER TIME THE DEMONS Well, here he is again—Pa Time! He's gray and bald, long past his prime, and on his shoulder you may see the same grass-cutting snicker-sneeze. We snub him all the live-long year. His steady tread we do not hear; he's not forgotten, just misplaced, and feels himself quite gone to waste. As cold and bleak December dies a triumph grand before him lies. He knocks his hour-glass on the door, he enters and demands the floor. He leaves the room, and one blows a loud tinnor, a bellwake shakes, a shot rings out, a whistle blows, bass voles shout, but Father Time, with upraised claw at last subdues the riot to awake. "I come to warn you this new year must find you in your working gear, prepared to labor, grind and fight for what is best and what is right. My twelve months swiftly pass you by; how did you treat the last—O fie? Your years are numbered, small the span, make each one serve the best you can. It is the rule of this concern that damaged goods we can't return." Your resumes and all is gay; poor Father Time just laps away, nor does he lie down to dare a race. Although we pity this poor guy, Time's changes we may not defy, and when he makes his yearly speech don't let your ears bend out of reach. BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR'S WATER Perhaps in no part of the British isles is the New Year heralded with more quaint and curious customs than in Pembrokeshire. That picturequeen county abound with strange customs and rare superstitions, and if you are a lover of the curious and picturequeen bygone days, the day of days to be in Pembrokeshire is on January 1. You will very probably be awakened by the strains of some musical instrument—preferably a concertina or accordion, but a mouth-organ will do—and the singing of children's voices of the following words: Rise up a New Year's morning. The cooks are all a-crowing; And if you think it is too soon, The moon will be full. If you are enthusiastic enough to descend you will find a group of boys of all ages on your doorstep, armed with little cups or mugs of cold water and sprigs of box, clamoring for the "New Year's water," to be taken in. If you accede to their request, the sprigs of box are dipped into the "New Year's water" to allow any shower sprinkled over your face. This is supposed to bring great good luck to you and your household, but three things must be carefully observed—the bearers of good luck must come inside your door, every member of the household must go through this ordeal by water to ensure luck to himself, or herself, and the bringers of the luck must be rewarded in a manner suitable to your position. The bearer of good luck must haps refreshments; others copper; and some of the poorest sweets, oranges, nuts, cake, etc. Every good Membrokshire housewife lays in a store of small coins and good things of the season, in readiness for the early visits of the youth of her town or village, and many deny them the privilege of bringing the of the "New Year's water" does not bring good luck would be regarded as rank blasphemy. Needless to say, the boys look forward to this red letter day for months, and find it no hardship to rise before the lark on that day. Boys well blessed with relatives and friends living in the district reap a rich harvest, as these friends will refuse to open their door until the arrival of their particularttes, for many troops peramulate the streets on the morning of this day. Girls are considered very unlucky to enter your house first on New Year's Day, and dark persons are preferred to those of fair complexion as luck bringsers. To avoid anything terrible as the entry of a girl or woman or a fair person first on New Year's Day, the doors are kept locked, and when a knock is heard the caller is either inspected from a window or some other colon of vantage, or interrogated through the closed door. This may appear very absurd in print, but if you pay a visit to Tops or some other place in "the premier county of Wales" you will enter into the spirit of the thing, and feel the delight of hearing the familiar greeting "A Happy New Year." accompanied by a tiny jet of icy water on your face. In the new year we may we keep our reverence unimpaired for the humble-minded, and those who have suffered much; our humor alert for our own mistakes and our self-sufficiency, and not at any time wreak it upon the aged, the crippled, the obscure, May we guard childhood and honor age, however infirm and petulant, because it has gone a long way on the same road that bruises our feet; and every seek to prolong the brief moment of life as it visits children and lovers. May we have the grace to rejoice in the flow of life as it may from generation to generation, and to be purified by the mystery in which we dwell—the night silences and the wonder of our inner life. May we know that humanity is vaster than any creed of its devising, any church of its building, any religion of its shaping. May we look upon the widespread spectacle of human suffering, and having endured to look upon it, learn to know our single life—seemingly so unique—a as drop of its comes our time to realize that in long dwell with happiness or with success, may we clean spirit of bitterness, and in calm strength continue at the work—Collier's Weekly.

NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON Postmaster General Hitchcock a Night Worker Society Formed at Capital to Study Spanish Some Good Things Left for the Hungry Ones THESE LITTLE SUITS ARE SOMETHIN' FIERCE LITTLE SUITS SUPREME COURT WASHINGTON.—From small beginnings have arisen some of the most perplexing questions to be passed upon by the Supreme court this fall and winter. Thomas W. McComb had splendid luck duck hunting in Tinicum township, Delaware county, Pennsylvania a year or so ago. Probably to his surprise that day's outing will bring him to the Supreme court. He was prosecuted for using an automatic gun in the hunt in defense he attacked the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania law against the use of that type of weapon. Matthias Schmidnifer, a Chicago baker, is said to have made his loaves of bread a trifle to small one day and was fined $100 for violating a city ordinance regulating the size of loaves. He will ask the Supreme court to deem the ordinance a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of State. A burn on the back of Anne Sweeney of the District of Columbia forces I took one man, from a western city, nearly a week to find out something about Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster-general, that many Washingtonians acquainted with the inner workings of the postoffice department knew. This man went day after day at 9 o'clock in the morning to Mr. Hitchcock's office and waited patiently to see the postmaster-general. He began to have set ideas about the postmaster-general and what he considered the necessity of making cabinet officers do their regular office hours. On the night of the fifth day man dropped into the postoffice building. He did not know just why, but he thought he might get some "ttp" from the watchman. The only person in sight was the elevator man. "I want to see Mr. Hitchcock," he said. "Can you—" "Have you an appointment with him?" interrupted the elevator man, with his hand on the lever ready to start the car. The visitor had a brilliant idea. SI SENOR SPANISH IS THE ONE GREAT LANGUAGE AND WE MUST HAVE A SOCIETY WHICH MAKES EVERY BODY A WEEK PRESIDENT FOR the purpose of promoting the international study of the Spanish language and literature there has just been organized here as a known as the Spanish-American Athenaeum. At its first meeting, held a few nights ago, the speakers included Senor Riano, Spanish minister here; John Barrett, director general of the Pan-American union; Rev. Dr. Charles W. Currier, specialist on Spanish-American literature, and Mme. Blanche Goulet, director general of the Spanish minister and all the Latin-American ministers here were made honorary vice-presidents of the THERE are in the entire government service an army of more than 400,000 men and women. Of these more than 300,000 are protected by the civil service, some by law and some by executive order. Of the remaining 10,439 the direct presidential appointees. The remainder are appointed by the heads of departments, but will, of course, be subject to removal by the incoming administration. Of the 16,582 direct presidential appointments, 9,949 must be confirmed by the senate. In addition to this large army of office holders and government employees, all under the executive branch of the government, there are more than 100 appointments under the control of the president. Of these the Department crats now have, but they will gain more through the control of the United States senate. President Wilson's available patronage disbursements will be much larger.

Voice of Mother (in background)—"All I have to say is that if I hadn't had a good deal to say already they never would have landed here." Meaning of Love. You must first find out the meaning of love and then see that you do what love bids you, but the essential meaning is that meaning for yourself - Tolotry. the basis of another suit. On its outcome will depend whether physicians are liable for burns by X-rays in photographing patients. Over the meaning of the word "auction" comes a case from the Hawaiian islands. Arrests were made there for the violation of a law requiring a license for firefighters. The sales in question were made to retail fish dealers. The point is raised whether this was an auction, and if so, if there is a distinction between "public" and "private" auctions. Whether the government must pay for the forage for two horses for the late Maj. Nathaniel H. McLean of Cincinnati and for two servants is involved in another case. The point arises as a result of his reinstatement in the police. Horses and servants were employed after being reinstated by the army and before he was reinstated by congress. The shipment of a wedding ring by Edward H. Croninger, a Cincinnati jeweler, to Atlanta, Ga., by the Adams Express, precipitated a case which the judge ruled against the pants, the passage of the Hepburn rate law, may limit their liabilities for loss of articles. Whether the back of a bay window may form a "party wall" is the basis of a dispute between Lewis E. Smoot and the Hoyl heirs of the Disc College to come before the court for decision. AM GUESS NOBODY WILL BOTHER ME AT THIS HOUR said, as they shot up to the fifth floor. "I suppose you know where his office is? "You bet I do." There he found several clerks working busily. His request to see the postmaster-general was taken in a met matter of feet way, and in two minutes he saw Mr. Hitchock, completed his business and left for home on the midnight train. The explanation is that Mr. Hitchcock does much of his important work at night, away from the usual interruption of visitors and routine matters which would bother him in the daytime. He does not always have clerks with him at night; often he will drop in unexpectedly and all alone will peg away at some puzzling matter until nearly dawn. organization and among those who already have signified their willingness to become corresponding members are the Princess Teresa of Baja Canyon, the Students Markham, K. C. B.; Senor Quevedo, former minister here from Cuba; Senor Rafael Altimira, Spain; Senor Jose T. Medina, Chile; Senor J. Lafone Quevedo, Argentina, and Dr. Rafael Villavicencio, president of the National Academy of History of Venezuela. The society purposes to have frequent meetings, when there will be lectures and discussions, the literary, historical and scientific subjects, will issue a journal both in English and Spanish. While the headquarters will be here, the organization will be international in character and membership. Honorary members will be chosen from time to time from people who have distinguished in literary, scientific and practical work in connection with Spain and the Spanish-American republics. JOBS FOR 100,000 DEMOCRATS or更 than the list which Grover Cleveland had at his disposal when he enforced in 1854, after the Democrats had been out in the cold for 23 long years. In the sixteen years that have elapsed since Cleveland retired, the Democrats who were appointed to office by him have almost entirely been eliminated, except in offices and posts under the civil service, where many appointed under the Cleveland administration still holding on. Some of these Cleveland appointees are now filling the highest places in the classified service.

THE MUSICAL OF THE YEAR With the Auto Girls at the Grand. Teddy Simonds' "Auto Girls," one of the most prominent successes of the field of burlesque this season, is to be the next week's attraction at the Grand New Year's week, commencing Sunday matinee, Dec. 29, presenting one of the most varied and altogether refreshing performances of modern times. The organization, which numbers nearly fifty people, is composed exclusively of artists of the highest rank of their various lines, and also includes what is claimed to be the handsomest bevy of singing and dancing girls ever connected with an attraction of this class. The farce that is presented by the "Auto Girls" this season is an affair of brilliance, exhilarating song and genuine fun of recent issue, called "Married For a Day," which calls for the introduction of the entire mammoth company including such well known artists as Mr. Lew Shean and Lew Fein, two well known comedians from the vaudeville field who are making their first appearance in burlesque; Mr. Chas. Baker, Mildred Stollier, Franke Grace, Hazel Ford, Lester Pike and dainty Berta Gibson.
