OLD PEOPLES
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS
They Should Carry Year's Bright ness
 Into the Recipients' Lives.

In the Christmas Ladies Home
 Journal Edward w. Box writes that he "would not be surprised if the 1 dear old ladies of our land should re-
 bel at tke customary presents which people send them at Christmas time, gifts that are severely practical, and
 ever a reminder of their years. '1
 wish at this Christmastide," he con
 tinues "every young girl might bring her mind to hunt out some aged
 saint, and bring new brightness into
 that life by some holiday thought or
 attention. A bunch of bright flow
 CTS can bring years sunshine into
 a sunset life. Let the gift be ever so simple: the attention ever so small ::
 but let 1t be bright: let it be sugges- tive of cheer, of hope, of freshness, of
 youth-something that will bring
 the sparkle to the eye, the tinge of color to the cheek. It will be d double Christmas for you: q fresh, new Christmas for the old, while .o you, my girl, 1t will mean more than you think. We always gain more
 than we give by associating with
 old people. The poorest old lady in
 the land is rich i'll knowledge for a young girl. It always does girl good to come in contact with an old
 lady. The girl may he the most bril- liant college graduate who ever aG-
 dressed valedictory to her class, but in the comfortable chair before
 her sits one who has learned from
 experience what the girl has learned from books. As a man takes off his hat to a woman, so I think a young girl should always bow with respect
 to an old lady. Let our young girls
 think over this with the approach ing holidays, and seek to throw a bright ray of sunshine into some old lady's life. Let every girl who can, see to it that 1t shall be no longer
 said that young people care very lit
 tie for old people these days. There are hundreds of dear old ladies in our land whose lives would be l heightened by some fresh, bright
 Christmas thought from the hand
 and heart of young girl. For
 many such l. would be new Christ mas: d sunrise at sunset"

clnred for the skirt as a class, but in France trousers are preferred by tho ina- iority. Here both are worn, but the skirt predominates. Az for the divided skirt, Shat compromise Is as unsatisfactory as compromises are apt to be. It combines tho disadvantages of both trousers and skirt and the advantages of neither. If the woman who wears q full divided skirt could realize how she looks off her wheel when there is breeze stirring, she would fly to ordinary bleomers as protection.
 Serge, covert cloth and eheviot arc the favorite materials for cycling costumes. For summer wear there are suits of duck and denim The white ones are delu- sion and a snare, because no white gown looks well unless it is immaculate, and nobody can be entirely immaculate on bicycle There Is the risk of falls to be encountered, the dust, the oil of the ma- chine quite likely the chafing of the rear wheel, and nobody can hope to escape every touch of soil Grays, dark blues and dust colors are far to be preferred to any of the brighter tones. Black IS pretty, but shows dust very quickly.
 The bicycle costume illustrated is of navy blue serge. It has moderately long skirt trimmed around the foot with nar- COW mohair braid. The eton jacket is trimmed in the same way and opens over 2 chemisette of white batiste. The sleeves and sleeve caps are trimmed with braid. The belt is of tan eolored kid Tan shoes are worn and a white linen collar The sailor hat of navy blue straw is trimmed with band and plaited wings of black atin .TUDIC CHOLLET

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Scrofulous Humors = How Cure
 Was Effected.
 ssWhen five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. 1t appeared in the form of red pimpies which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve merit in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humer had all been driven out of his blood and 1t has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

BICYCLE COSTUMES.
Ne Reason For ouarreling Over the styass
 Matter of Taste.

There has been with us rather iull of late with respect to the vexed ques- tions of bicycle costumes, but warm weather will doubtless soon renew the con troversy between skirts and boomers
 Why people must quarrel on the matter would be mystery if quarreling had not long ago proved to be the natural state of the human race. There doesn't seem to be any reason why women who like boomers should not wear them nor why women who prefer skirts should not wear them likewise and say no more about 1t

French Horses, However, Are Superior 60
 Those Used Here.
 The French horseman does not ride as we'll as his prototype in the United States regular army. but the horses of the French army are better and mora serviceable than those in the United States. The half bred barbs of the chasseurs are up to any amount of work, and the heavier Normans and Bretons of the dragoons and cuirassiers, although perhaps too light for the weight they carry, are splendid specimens of horse flesh. The French artillery believed elsewhere than in France to be the corps d'elite of the army-was beyond praise The physique of the personnel of the field and horse batteries is superior to that of the line, and the average effi- ciency of the officers is higher. The steel gun that 1t is armed with is a most effective weapon-the fieldpiece of 90 nm, weighing 104 48 hundred weight, and firing a .a8 pound com mon shell, 18.5 pound shrapnel; the horse artillery gun weighing 8. 86 hun dredweight, with a 1915 pound com. mon shell and l9.s4 shrapnel
 The large number of batteries at- tached to an army corps--more than four guns to 1000 infantry and cav alry--is not the only indication that the French place great reliance upon their artillery. The batteries as they marched past presented an admira- bio appearance. The old maxim of "spit and polish was not as mi putely carried out as is the case with the batteries of the United States regu- lar army. The steel names and collar chains were in some instances not as bright as they might have been. nor were the leather harnesses absolutely immaculate. but the horses are beyond criticism, and everything pertaining to each piece and each caisson is thorough ly seryiceabls and businesslike.

Political Corruption in Mary
 land.


 land.
 It Is almost shocking to hear the Baltimore American say "there are counties in Maryland in which brib- cry has for years been as well recog- nized a portion of campaign as stump speaking itself. Of late years, at least, it has been far more infiueE tial in determining the resu t. In such counties large portion of the people, and especially the lead ing public men, have been actively CT passively concerned in the prac- tice, either by direct participation or by less courageous connivance. ,
 'This is dreadful, " says the New Orlans States in commenting on the above, "but the Baltimore American is an independent and has such well established reputation for veracity that we are forced to believe that it has stated what it knows to be facts and did so be- cause it was Q duty it owed the peo. pie of the State. It's very candid statement forces us to remark, how ever, that political corruption is not confined to any particular State, but is very generally scattered over the whole of the country. It is sur prising that in one of the oldest wealths of the American Union, where we have been lead to believe there is much civil virtue, political corruption prevails to such an extent as to be regarded as a striking feature of every cam paign.
 "The corruption does not cosist in bribing man to vote against ones political opponent, because Mary land has the Australian ballot sys- tenn aud the buyer cannot be sure of the delivery of the goods on the day of election, buthe can and there is nothing in the law to prevent him inducing a voter to remain away from the polls and this it seems is what the manipulators of elections in Maryland have been doing. The American referring to the counties where this form of bribery is prae- ticed, says:
 0'In such counties it is hopeless tc expect that juries will condemn to the penitentiary their friends and neigh bors who have done only what the mos. distinguished citizens oi the neighborhood have been, to ey. cry ones knowledge, repeatedly guilty of. The penal laws, it is true, are of value; if for no other reason, because they do declare bribery tc be D crime. If they did not exist il is possible that more men might persuade themselves, as leading citizen of this State half century ago is said to have done, that in g government of universal suffrage bribery affords the only means by which property can secure that weight in the community to which he supposed it to be entitled.
 ''The only possible remedy for the condition of affairs in Maryland, continues the States, lis for that State to restrict the franchise by enforcing in addition to the Austral- ian system of voting an educational and property qualification, and thus eliminate from tbe elections class of voters who regard it as proud American privilege to sell out to the first bidder. This is what Louisiana aims to do when the Constitutional Convention assemblies next Februa- ry. For years the ignorant negro vote has been purchasable com modity, which political parties and factions have shrugged to secure, and the moment we get rid If it we shall have fair and honest elections

ITS HATRED CHRONIC.

The Oregonian, able paper
though it is,deceives itself in state
political affairs. 1t does not de
ceive others. Its interest in our
home politics is not on account of
its devotion to the cause of sound
money. It has attacked without
provocation republicans who have
always believed in the gold stand:
ard. 1t is simply personal dislike
that animates the OregoniafFAan.
tipathy to John H. Mitchell.
The Oregonian claims that it is
not interested in. the Oregon fed -
eral appointments and also insists
that Senator Mitchell has dictated
the recommendations of the dele
CATION. 1t is a fact, however, that
MIR. Harvey Scott has urged the
appointment of more candidates
than has Mr.. Mitchell. The latter
- has doubtless been sometimes con
suited, as have all prominent re
publicans, in regard to Oregon ap
appointments, but is far from the
truth to say that his wishes have
always prevailed. The Oregonian
says that the nomination of JOHN
II. Hall for district attorney was
due to Senator Mitchell. when the
tact is that Mr.. Mitchell endorsed
the candidacy of another gentle
man.
However, the Oregonian's mo-
tives and temper are so we'll un-
derstood that its diatribes are com
psratlvely harmless. A paper
that hebnobs with party traitors,
populists and political anarchists
cannot destroy or radically in
fuence the republican party OF
Oregon.

are so loudly clamoring for har.
mony. "rhe regiment is out ol

needed, and those ~who 'hear him
only smile.
