Where is there to be found that per
8 son who from the depths of his or he
heart wishes to be forgotten9 Ever
e an animal becomes lonesome whel
left to itself with no one to pay /
homage.
Within the breast of every man is ,
d craving which calls for some outward
manifestation on the part of Others
showing that notice has been taken O
him.
Just how far one should 60 to graf
ify this feeling in others depends upor
circumstances. A certain amount Of
good will is due all men, but 1t Is
right and proper that those who are
nearest our hearts should receive the
largest share Of our regard.
Here the questions arise: "1n what
special way may show my love for
my wife? My affection for my hus-
band? My fondness for my sweet.
heart? My devotion to my children?
My esteem for my friends? My at

Merry Christmas, a season when
every one should forget there is any
such thing as sorrow. But If one-half
the city sits down and does nothing to
make the other half happy. it will not
be merry Christmas; 1t will be very
doleful Christmas.
We don't want to keep our hearts
closed like clam shells. Let's open
them and resolve to make at least one
person glad that Christmas has come.
Really, now, don't you think you
will feel better after giving? OF course
you do. Then the question is not
"shall I given but "what shall I
give?"
In answer to this, if we drop a few
practical suggestions who will be the
loser?
In the first place, settle in your
mind to whom you are going to give
presents. When this is done estimate
how much money you are willing to
spend for this purpose. Next, find
out by some means, as nearly as you
can, what is among the things you are
able to get that these persons would |
desire most. While thus avoiding |
many awkward mistakes this will |
make your present doubly appreciated.
Any one will think more of some
little thing they really want than
something they have no particular
use for, even though it cost ten times
as much.
When you start out to purchase. be
sure you're clear OH these things, and
you will make an easy thing of gift
giving where you have large collec-
tiou of things to choose from. You
may not realize it, but the P. o. book
store has already answered the ques-
lion half way for you. Why, ten
months ago We began buying Christ
mas presents. While you were JUST
to enjoy those you got last
Iear We were looking forward to this.
To make anything like complete !

for Christmas presents would

our patience. But here Is a partial
list.

The Temperance Temple.

Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, president of
the Chicago central division ofsthe W..
G. T. u. is pointed out to strangers in
the windy city as the smartest woman
on the shores of Lake Michigan. Ten
years ago, when she talked about building
million dollar temperance temple in
the business part of Chicago, the white
ribbon ladies' laughed at her Today it
is foregone conclusion, and Mrs. Carse
is the happiest woman in Chicago. A
short time ago Marshall Field, the dry
goods prince, began the erection OF a
warehouse on the corner of Adams and
Lasalle streets. The excavation was
made and the foundation nearly com
pleted when his former partner, l.. u.
Letter, interrupted operations with a
lawsuit. He lost, and when the way
was again clear Mr. Field was too much
engrOssed with other interests to resume
the work.
In the meantime Title B. Carse had
been watching the corner and begging
money to build the temple. Just how
much capital had fallen into her beauti
fully gloved hands was unknown, but
she saw Mr. Field, got him to take $780,
GOO worth of stock in the temple, give
her "a ninety-nine year lease OF the prop
erty at SAC, 900 year and free rent until
the building was erected. The temple is
going up, away up eleven stories; it is
heavily bonded, but sure to be a good
paving investment. One-fourth Of one
floor will be used by the temperance peO-
pie and the other ten and three-quarters
rented for business Offices. 1t will be
freproof. modern in every particular.
and as well built Us women can have it.

MUST GO BY PRECEDENT.
Justice MiIIer's Letter the Duty Of
the Supreme Court.

the Supreme Court.
Justice Miller, of the United States
supreme court, has been criticised by
many for joining in the original package
decision. Rev. p. Teter, a Methodist
clergyman at Oskaloosa, Ia, and a per-
sonal friend of the justice, has received
from him the following. letter on the
subject:
II regret to find that you are in trou-
bic about my concurrence in the recent
decision of the supreme court in regard
to the sale of goods imported from abroad
or from another state in the original
packages. l venture to hope that / shall
not wholly forfeit your esteem because,
in c5edienD to that sense of cOnscien-
tious duty which / have no doubt
prompts you in this matter, / have felt
bound to follow the decision made by
this court more than sixty years ago.
which has never been doubted or dis
puted from that day to this. Indeed,
that decision, in addition to being a de-
cision of this court, was one which fell
from the lips of the greatest constitu
tional lawyer that this government ever
had. 1t was based upon a construction
of the constitution Of the United States
This constitution has not been altered
since, and the Judgment of the court has
remained without question from that
day to this, now sixty-three years ago.
MANY people like you, think, have
the idea that the supreme court is only
bound in its decisions by the views which
they may have Of abstract moral right.
But we are as much sworn to decide &C
cording to the constitution of the United
States as you are bound By your con-
science to u faith in the Bible which you
profess to follow. If my views of the
true meaning of the constitution of the
United States, in a question before me
as d Judge of one of the courts of the
country, should compel me to differ from
the whole world | should do it as cour-
ageously as | have no doubt you would
stand by any doctrine which we believe
to be taught in the Holy Bible. This is
tie only letter that have attempted to
answer on this subject, and however my
friends may think that erred on this
subject must bear their censure. If |
should believe everything which you be-
lieve on the subject of Prohibition.
must still follow the constitution of the
United States until it is changed by
those who have authority to Go 60

HOW NICKELS AND PENNIES ARE
MADE.

The copper used IN the manufacture of
pennies is of the very best quality. The
metal is shipped in bulk from the mines
to the factories of Merchants & Co. in
Connecticut. There it is rolled and
stamped out in circles of the requisite
size. These circles are perfectly plain
with the exception of the raised or milled
edge. At this stage the pieces intended
for pennies are as bright as gold pieces,
while those intended for nickels resemble
highly polished silver In this condition
they are delivered to the mint. OF course
it is absolutely necessary that all the
pieces should be Of uniform size and
weight. The transfer from the factory to
the mint is made, and the number of
pieces in package is reckoned by its
weight. To find out how many small
COINS the amount of nickel and copper
contracted for at present Will make, null
tlply the number of pounds copper by
100 and the number of pounds of nickel
by 70. This calculation will show that
the metal now about to be made up into
coin will make $1,000 nickles and 100000
pennies. One hundred pennies therefore
weigh exactly one pound. When these
pieces reach the mint they are subjected
to the finishing process, which consists
In stamping them with the denomination,
lettering and characters on the coins
when they reach the public. To accomp-
lish this great pressure is needed, as the
pieces are not heated again after leaving
the factory. The amount of pressure re-
CURED is simply enormous, considering
the size of the pieces. The copper pen
MES required a pressure of 10 tons avoir-
dupois, while with the nickel piece it is
necessary to put on pressure of from

Made Him Move On.

Judge Emery tells a story partly at
his own expense and partly at the ex-
pense of a special policeman, says the
Minneapolis Tribune 1t was at the
time of street car strike, when people
were arrested for refusing to '.move
ON The Judge was walking up Nicol-
let avenue when the excitement was at
its heat. When near the Nicollet
House he met one or two acquaintance
and stopped to talk with them.
''Move on" said special" coming
up.
..Al right, said the Judge. Come
in here" said he to his companions, as
he stepped into a doorway.
That did not suit the special. and he
''tired' them out. Finding the place
decidedly uncomfortable the Judge
left the neighborhood. The next day
the special was in court to testify
against some prisoners whom he had
arrested. When he saw the Judge upon
the bench and recognized him as the
man whom he had ordered to move on,
his jaw dropped as far as it could had
a ten-pound weight been attached to it.
The judge paid no attention to him, but
conducted business as if nothing had
happened.
II didn't know that he was the
Judge" said the special, as he went out
side and drew a sigh Of relief.

ADVICE TO DYSPEPTICS.

New York Ledger: All dyspeptics
should avoid anything which they mot
others) cannot digest. There are so many
causes for and forms of dyspepsia that it
is impossible to prescribe one and the
same diet for all. Nothing is more dis
agreeable or useless than to be caution
ed against eating this or that, because
your neighbor "So-and-So" can not eat
such things. If we would all study the
nature and digestion OF food, and remem-
Der that air and exercise are essential as
food in promoting good health, we could
easily decide upon the diet best suited to
our individual needs. The diabetic.
should abstain from sugar and anything
which is converted into sugar in diges-
ton, such as all starchy foods, sweet
omelets, custards, jellies, sweet sauces,
starchy nuts, wine and liquors.
The corpulent should abstain from fat
as we'll as sugar and starch. A diet of
whole wheat, milk, vegetables, fruit and
lean meat will produce only normal
amount OF fairness, while an excess of
acids, sweets, spices and shortening
keeps the system in an unhealthy con-
dition. Those who can digest fine -four
pastry, sugar and fats become loaded
with fat, but are neither strong nor
vigorous.
Thin people with weak digestion should
also avoid such food; for thin people are
often kept thin by the same food which
makes others fat. If they cannot digest
the starch, butter and fpe -four the sys-
TEN is kept in feverish, dyspeptic state;
they become nervous or go into ccmsump-
ton for no other reason than that the
lie is burned out by diet which only
feeds the fire and does not renew the
tissues.
Men dig their graves with their teeth,
not only by drinking and using tobacco,
but by eating food loaded down with in
materials.

The Place Hunters WAYS.

The average Cffice-seeker is most
sensitive as to the impression his can
vass for the Government plum is max
ing at home. When he arrives in
Washington he at once hunts up the
correspondents of his home papers and
makes special request that they make
no mention of his presence at the Cap
ital, or if they will not consent to- that
he will be pleased to have them say
that he came on at the request of his
member of Congress, who has place
he desires to have him accept and that
he Is now giving the matter that con-
sideration which he deems is due. No
one comes to Washington these DAYS
on good, old-fashioned hunt for
office. Then, again, there are those
who long for place who Systematically
deceive not only their friends. but
members of their own families.
One OF this class came to Wash
lngton about three months ago, saws
the Washington Post, and ever since
has been lmportuning his member of
Congress to provide for him. He
started out for a good, fat Consulate,
but now he is in about the same condi-
ton as the spinster who prayed for
man. He will take anything that is
offered, and be glad of the opportunity.
He had not been here over a month
when his wife wrote him that he was
wasting his time, and suggested in that
vigorous manner that onv woman
can command that he had better come
home and go to work. To pacify his
better half he wrote her that he had
succeeded in securing place aud
would 60 to work next week. He also
stated assoon as he go, enough money
ahead he would send for her, and then
he continued to wait for something to
turn up. But success has not as vet
perehed upon his efforts, and last week
when he received "a letter from his
wife. notifying him that she was ready
to join him and was only awaiting a
remittance, he realized that sometime
must be done, and that quite speedily. |
The way he went about his last bit of |
deception was to complain to the po-
lice that he had been robbed of neat |
sum of money, and to take good care /
to see that the announcement of his |
bogus robbery found its way into the
newspapers. Marked copies of the |
paper were sent to h S home and now
