The Christmas holidays, on which all the
Joy and expectation of winter culmi
are not far in the future. and We q
warned of their approach by the cBs
our shop windows-those regular table
contents indicating the stock within. Their
beauties are renewed; toy stores dazzle
forth their richness and seem to be cramm-

hearts of the youngsters; clothing houses
seem to have finer and warmer, and, We
hope, cheaper goods for Christmas; aud
fruit and confectionery stores where the
delcacies for Christmas consumption are
kept are receiving large instalnents Of
sWeetmeats. Out Of the many displays of
nice things all over town. we don't know

While the cold. dismal days of winter
are regarded as precursors of misery
which. in fact, they are to a great extent
they bring with them many pleasures such
as balls, parties. sociabIes. fairs and hops.
A few of these are in prospective. and the
season will no doubt be one of unusual en-
joyment. These festivities rob winter of
much of its sgrseableness. The theat-
rical season will open on the night Of the
Gath, and will, perhaps, continue through
the winter.

| HFNRY CLAY ON MILITARY INsuBoR-
DINATIoN.-Tbe following eloquent ex-
tract from the speech of Henry Clay,
delivered in the House of Representa-
tives. January IL, 1919, is we'll adapted
to the present times:
"Recall to your recollection the free
nations which have gone before us.
Where are they now? And how have
they lost their liberties? If we could
transport ourselves back--back to the
ages when Greece and Rome h0urished

The same interrogatory proponnded to
Roman citizen would have brought
forth a similar reply. Yet Greece fell +;
Caesar passed the Rubicon, and the pa
triOtic arm even of Brutus could not pre-
serve the liberties OF his devoted colln-
try. The celebrated Madame dc StaeI,
in her last and perhaps best work, has
said that in the very year, almost in the

CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN
Among Leon Gazlan's posthumous pa
pers was found an essay on the charac-
teristics of women, which will hardly
add to his popularity among American
ladies. just read the outrageous para
graph:
A French woman will love her hus-
band if he is either witty or chivalrous;
a German woman if he is constant and
faithful; Dutch woman if he does not
disturb her ease and comfort too much;
a Spanish woman if he wreaks terrible
vengeance on those who incur his dis
pleasure; an Italian woman if he is
dreamy and poetical; Danish woman if
he thinks that her native country is the
brightest and happiest country on earth;
a Russian woman if he despIses all Wes-
terners as miserable barbarians; an En-
glish woman if he succeeds in ingratia-
ting himself with the royal court and
the Aristocracy; an American woman
if he has plenty of money.

Mile. Leonide Leblanc is one of the
pretty gamblers at Ilomburg. Recently
she lost all her gains. On the morning
after her misfortune she sat quietly
down to some woodwork and began a
course of contemplation in white worked
muslin trimmed with mauve under Val
enciennes trimmings. Her eyes natu-
rally turned from her work to her lace,
then to her inward self, and the conse-
quence was that she, all of a sudden,
got up, left her place and disappeared.
Toward the close of the day she appear
ed in lovely pale silk robe corded
around the bottom with cable and the
same round her waist, falling behind
round elegant scarf ends. She looked
resigned, but not humbled; down on the
roulette table came ten louis. Lo, and
behold! the matter turns, and in the
course of five minutes she gathered in
4S, 900 francs. The next day she appear
ed again in Valenciennes.

No man can rightfully enter upon th'
duties of the presidential Office, there
fore, unless he is not only willing Il
carry out the wishes of the people. ex
pressed in q constitutional way, but il
also prepared to stand up for the right
of minoritieS.
He must be ready to uphold the free
exercise of religion he must denounct
measures which would wrong persona
or home rights, or the religious CON
science of the humblest citizen of the
land he mast maintain, without dis
tinction of creed or nationality, all the
privileges of American citizenship. The
experience OF every public man who has
been faithful to his trust, teaches him
that no one can do the duties of the
office of president unless he is ready,
not only to undergo the falsehoods OF
the bad, but to suffer from the censure
of the good, who are misled by preju-
dices and misrepresentation. There
are no attractions in such positions
which deceive my Judgment when say
that a grsat change is going on in the
public mind. The mass of the Republi-
can party are more thoughtful and tenn
pered and just than they were during
the excitement which attended the pro-
gress and close of the civil war.
AS the energy of the Democratic par
ty springs from their devotion to their
cause and to their candidates, may
with propriety speak of the fact that
never, in the political history of our
has the action of any like body
been hailed with such universal and real
as that which has been
shown in relation to the position of the
National Democratic Convention. With
this the candidates had nothing to do.
Had any others of those named been
selected, this spirit would have been
perhaps more marked. The zeal and
energy of the conservative masses spring
from a desire to make a change of poll
cy, and from thought that they can
carry out their purposes. In this faith
they are strengthened by the co-opera-
ton of the great body of those who
served in the Union army and navy du-
ring the war. Having given nearly
l6, 900 commissions to the officers of that
army, 1 know their views and their
wishes.
They demand the Union for which
they fought.
The largest meeting of these gallant
soldiers ever assembled was held in New
Y York, and indorsed the action of the
Convention in words distinct
with meaning. They called OH the gov
to stop in it's policy of hate,
iiscord and disnnion; and in terms OF
servld eloquence, demanded the restora-
lion of the rights of the American peo-
pie.
When there is such q creed between
hose who proved themselves brave and
self.sacrifcing in war, and those who
ire thoughtful and patriotic in council,
cannot donbt we shall gain political
which will restore our Union,
BRING back peace to our land, and give
is once more the blessings of wise,
and honest government.

Gen. Francis z. Blair is son of the

in the Federal army. He was one of,
