have compromising Joys. Among the latter
is the observance of the old custom OF their
English ancestors of Christmas merry -mak-
ing. Christmas always has been, and, 1t is
hoped, always will be, the greatest OF all
holidays In Virginia, and, judging from the
preparations that have been made for its
celebration this year, the hope referred to is
likely to be fulfilled. The family reunions,
the exchange of gifts, the tokens OF remem.
hrance, the children's toys and fire crackers,
and mince pies, eggnog and apple teddy,
and all the many other things that mark
the holiday evoke the tenderest sympathies
of kinship and the most genial feelings OF
which human nature is capable and conduce
to the fufilment of the hope for peace and
good will on earth, and for an after life In
which Christmas horns shall rouse as
every morning and Christmas eve stockings
hang at the fire place every night.

SANTA MONICA.
The Mystery of Val LundinRham
Cleared Up.

The Mystery of Val Lunding Ina nm
Cleared Up.
1t will be remembered that shortly
after the sad drowning of young Miles at
Ballona some month or go ago, an ac-
count was made public Of how a young
fisherman, named Val Lundingham, had
mysteriously disappeared from the Santa
Monica beach. He went to the Ellis
bath-house, and, donning bathing suit,
left his old clothes there, stating that he
was going to look for young Miles body,
with the hope of obtaining the $25 re-
ward. He never returned for his
clothes, so it was generally thought that
he had sighted the remains out at sea,
and on swimming out to get them, had
himself been overcome by the breakers
and drowned.
But it appears from reliable informa-
ton that Lundingham is as alive and
hearty today as he ever was, and it ia
stated that he simply successfully adopted
the drowning ruse to get clear out OF
Santa Monica, where he not only was
financially embarrassed, but also owed 8
good many small bills. It is stated that
a few days before he made his disappear.
ance he went to Van Every's store, on
Third street, and there obtained suit oi
clothes on credit on the strength of being
fisherman. These new garments he
concealed somewhere, or left at the house
of an accomplice, and then the morning
when he made his mysterious departure,
instead of going into the sea he went to
where the new clothes were, put them
on and made for the interior. He is now
residing, it is said, in one of the large
towns in San Bernardino county.
Court Scott and AL. Montgomery re-.
turned last night from their two weeks
hunting trip in the mountains. They
look brown and hearty, and brought with

game, and that an amateur can kill
enough quail in day to supply good

IL There q Social Change Im-
pending?
EDITORS HERALD-We know that the
feeling of discomfort among the masses
is growing more and more day by day.
Not only this, but those who are of the
classes, go to speak, who have luxuries
on their table, the professional men, the
merchants, the manufacturers, and even
we editors, begin to feel the screws
tightening. We cannot get living as
easily as we could few years ago, and
we are sometimes in doubt as to whether
we can make living at all. Most sig
nifcant signs of this feeling of discomfort
are afforded by the guarded utterings of
our public men; by the clippings in the
newspapers, for there is feeling that
the time is not ripe for editorial express
sion. Look at the September number of
the Forum, pre-eminently the magazine
of all that is best in Ameri-
can thought. We give some clippings
the significance of which may be noted
when one observes that, granting the
truth of the statement contained in the
clipping, it irresistibly follows that q
social change is impending:
l. John Bright on Gladstone:
"The land hunger, whetted by legisla-
ton, has given the tenant a
slice of his landlords property without
payment" "Not only the landlords, but
the educated classes throughout Ireland
seem to be either cowed or so hopeless
as not to think it worth while to make a
g. and against the reign OF terror and law
lessness."
2. "Can Our Social Ills be Remedied ?"
by Washington GLADDEN.:
"The object OF the trust is confessedly
to control the entire output of the product
with which It is concerned. The price,
list of the trust is fixed by a
legislative act of the managers Of the
trust" "Supply and demand have
nothing to do with it'' (the price,. "The
workmen (nation] must be identified
with the conduct of industries as they
are with the conduct of the common
wealth. Indeed, unless all signs are mis-
leading, this is the a0ay ace are going"
