Christmas" Out of black paper cut two
little triangular pieces for the birds beaks
Crinkled white paper, such as you use
for lamp shades, and cotton wool form
their bodies, as you may guess. Cut on
two strips of paper, one about inches
long and the other inches. Place piece
of cotton wool on each strip and fold the
paper over the wool. The owls must not
be too fat; therefore don't use too much
cotton. Now, with few stitches, paper
and wool are fastened together. Gather
in the paper about an inch from one end
to form the OWLS tail and sew it firmly.
Then shape the other end to look like
ears, and put a stitch through wool and
paper to keep them in place. The cotton
wool is only on the body of the owl, not
in its head or tail.
Next, to make the wonderful wise eyes
Cut four strips of white crinkled paper,
each an inch long, and cut out four small
circles of yellow paper. Run thread OF
white cotton along the top of each strip OF
crinkled paper; then draw the thread ano

on to the body, putting them close to

beaks and the little red flags on with gum

up tho birds will appear to be carrying
them in their beaks. Some strong stitches
with black wool will attach each owl
firmly to the twig and form its claws be-
sides.
Now thread darning needle with
double piece of black wool. Pass the nee
die first through one end of the twig, then
through the back of one owl and take
stitch to make it firm. Leave enough
wool to make loop by which to hang up

of the second owl, take strong stitch to

Christmas Giving.

The moment gift is expected 1t loses
all its sacredncss and worth, it seems to
me. 1t Is often the surprise of present
which makes its charm. We ought to
make an effort to surprise the deserving
poor on Christmas in this way, to seek
them out and tighten their needs by some
thoughtful and appropriate offering when
they least look for it. 1t would be an ex-
cellcnt training for children who have
been reared in wealth or even in comfort
to take them about among the poor people
the week before Christmas and let them
decide whether they would receive their
usual load of expensive toys or donate
that amount Of money to the relief of the
destitute.
1t would be practical lesson in the
beauty of self sacrifice.-Ella Wheeler

GOMPERS DEFEATED.
John Mcbride Elected President Of Federation
Of Labor Gompers' Little Speech.

Denver, Dec. 17.-The first matter to
come before the Federation of Labor, to-
day. was the selection of a place for head
quarters, the convention having decided
to remove the same from New York city.
indianapolis was selected by majority
vote.
The election of officers followed.
Samuel Gompcrs of New York, and John
Mcbride of Columbus, president of the
United Workers, were placed in nomina
ton The vote stood: Mcbride, 1862;
Gompers, 1899. Vice presidents First,
p. J. Mcclure, Philadelphia; second,
James Duncan, Baltimore; third, Roady
Kenchan, Denver; fourth, Il. J. Elderkin,
Chicago; treasurer, John b. Lehman,
New York.
Mr.. Gompers, speaking of the election
of Mcbride said to the convention that
he felt greatly relieved from the burden
of an enormous responsibility. The posi-
ton as president had made him prema-
turely old He stood for principle and
had fought a hard fight. Standing this,
he preferred to be moved down rather
than surrender to the opposition. He re
gretted no official action and would recall
nothing in the past administration for cor
rection. He promised the same devotion
to the cause of labor in the future as in
the past
If defeat had come to him in
the Chicago convention he would have gone
out broken-hearted; now he left it with
his reputation as clear as the noon-day sun.
(Applause.) He proposed to support Nc
Bride and would defend any attempt to
drag him down from his high position by
the enemies of the American Federation
of Labor He thanked the delegates for
their loyalty to the Federation and parted
from them with the best of wishes for
united efforts in favor of the labor cause.
New York was selected as the place for
holding the next convention.
