The Successful Giver.
Philadelphia Times.

PnllaQelpnla I1meS
The successful giver is already on the
war path. She has visited the shops knows
what there is to buy, what to be made and
what of which to make it. But this is only
half her labor done and the least important.
She has her Christmas list made out, and,
by each name, for instance yours, are jotted
down some two or three trif1es that she has
heard you admire and wish you had. She
makes notes like this:
For N. C.-Narrow hand purse. New
glasse leather. Fan toematch street suit, or
ebony toilet articles. Silver monogram to
match those she has"
What fun on Christmas morning to find
the little souvenirs from the successful giver
is 'just the thing you wanted"
How did she ever remember the color
Of your suit or know about your craze for
ebony?"
Why, she knew because to her the actual
buying of gifts is the least important part
of the Christmas work; she makes a point
her card by. referring to some pleasure you
once gave her and making you feel good
that way or by limiting at some fun in the
future she makes it valuable,
The successful giver is not q success by
chance. She makes a study of the thing,
and when she once knows what to give she
TASKS are gone at one shop, or there is too
much of a crowd round them, she does not
stead and hope you will like 1t just as well,
when she knows you won't
That eternal fitness Of things so much
sung, so little practiced, is never so Jsefully
applied as at the approaching holiday sea-
son.
We always read the day after Christmas
that:
REALLY, it would be better to give money
and then let people go bug for themselves
than to waste so much ~ getting things
There is something So coarse in that view,
but the fault lies with the giver; the re-
ceiver is not the migrate she is said to be
There is no compliment in having Just any
thing tossed into your lap on Dec. rs by
way of canceling a debt. We look for low
ing thought and individual comprehension
to be shown in a gift, and if they are not
there the flavor of gratitude and appre-
citation is gone. 1t is literally true that 5
cents spent in just the right way may bring
US more pleasure than $50 misspent.
What woman who, having raved over
moutfion for weeks in advance, is pleased at
a $50 set of fox from a husband who has
been too preOccupied to notice what her
taste in the matter of furs was and Just
left the whole thing to the clerk?
Man, get some devotA woman to do your
Christmas buying, but, as you value sue
cess get the successful fgiver. You well
know her. She is a prompt, methodicai per-
son, no matter though she be romp or
book worm to boot.

William Ehrichs Of Brooklyn and
William Warrington of Jamaica, N. Y,
one Of the cracks of the Pequod Bicycle
club, started at O'Clock in the morn
ing to break the 200 mile record to Sag
Harbor and return. They were riding at
the rate Of ~ miles an hour when En-
richs' pedal struck some obstruction and
the man was thrown heavily He was
unconscious for some time. When h. :e
vived, it was found that his collar bone
was broken. The nearest doctor was in
Center Moriches, five miles away.
Ehrichs mounted his wheel, and, though
the Earring caused him intense pain, he
covered the distance. DR.. Warren set
the bone, and the young man left for
home on a train. A report was current
i'll East New York that Ehrichs' neck
had been broken. His father was in the
crowd which met the train at the sta
ton, bringing, as he supposed, his son s
dead body. He was overjoyed to find
him alive.-Chicago Chronicle

THE STEERING iIGAD.
Too Tight or Too Loose, IL Affects tte
Bicycles Running Qualities.

Too Tight or Too Loose, 1t Affects tbc
Bicycles Running Qualities.
The running qualities Of the bicycle
depend very largely upon the style and
condition of the steering hoad. Possibly
some fault may be found with the rea-
soning, hut it strikes Us that one Of the
best tests Of the steering head is riding
without hands. Almost any good rider
will have no difficulty in riding and
steering "hands off, if the head is Of
the right pattern and correctly adjusted.
Steering heads vary according to tho
ideas of different manufacturers There
is variation i'll length, rake and diane
ter. The matter of rake is undou btedly
of more Importance than is usually &C.
corded to it. The slant must correspond
with the curve of the front forks with
reference to the angle Of a line drawn
through the center Of the steering head
to the point IF tire contact with the
ground. 1t is the opinion Of many ex-
perts that in machines for road use this
angle should be 90 degrees from tie
vertical and that the head may slant
more or less so long as the fork curve
brings the front wheel into such position
as admits of this angle.
Undoubtedly the guidance of ma
chimes of varying steering lines depends
somewhat upon the speed with which
they are ridden. A cycle that steers
badly at slow pace may perhaps steer
well at a brisk gait, and very steady
steerers at moderate speed may wabble
in fast work. So it is evident that the
angle should be adjusted somewhat to
the purpose for which the machine is
intended. The roadster and the racer
should not be built on exactly the same
lines. The angle Of % degrees from the
vertical seems to be right for ordinary
road riding, and the higher the speed
the wider becomes the angle indicated
that is, there should be more rake il
the racer than in the roadster.
Without proper care Of the steering
head there can be no comfort in riding.
If it is too tight, correct steering is i'm
possible, and if it is too loose the rider
not only wabbles but is in imminent
danger Of breaking the steering post
short off at the lower bearing, mishap
which is often attended with serious
results. The ball races i'll the head, par
ticularly the lower, should be kept
clean and well fabricated at all times.
In order to properly oil the lower bear.
ing it is usually necessary to turn the
machine upside down. Cy-

Lady Churchill as a Cyclist.

Lady Randolph Churchill is said to
be an adept wheelwoman. She rides
easily and gracefully, and her costumes
are faultless in fit and fashion. One of
her recent suits is of stone gray cloth
richly embroidered in a slightly darker
shade. The skirt, which comes to her
shoe tops, is lined with red silk. The
blouse beneath her coat is of white silk,
and with it she wears a scarlet stock
and scarlet belt. Her gray CATERS
match her gown in color. She wears
gloves of white wash leather and hat
that is rough black straw sailor
trimmed with scarlet wing. -Phila-

Interfere With Sunday Schools.

The forty-sixth annual meeting of the
Universalist Sabbath School union was
held in the Every Day church on a re-
cent afternoon and evening. The union
is composed Of 10 schools, in which
there are 500 officers and teachers and
8,l39 scholars. Some of the schools
showed falling off in attendance, and
there was considerable discussion as to
its probable cause and possible cure.
The fact that scholars were not looked
after, the indifference of parents, re-
movals from one part of the city to an
other, were all advanced by way of ex-
PLANTATION, but the greater part of the
blame was laid to the bicycle. Boston

EMORY
COLLEGE
OXFORD, GA.

while playing in a stock company an AL
bany, of which Mr.. c. w. Couldock was
the leading man, she met Mr.. John Drew
and they were married at the close of the
season. Mr.. Drew was a favorite come
dian, and he and his wife continued TO
play together for many years He leased
the Arch Street theater, Philadelphia, in
1858, and was very successful, but when he
tried his hand at management again,
few years later, when he leased the Ma
tional theater in Philadelphia, the venture
proved unfortunate.
In 1862 Mrs. Drew herself became the
lessee of the Arch street theater, and con-
tinued to manage the house for the next
thirty-one years, and a very successful
manager she was. Her stock company IN
cluded all the best actors in the couatry,
and she played nearly all the new plays
as they came out. Later on, when STOCK
companies went out of fashion she turned
her house into a combination theater, ana
herself played engagements with several
stars.
When Mr.. Jefferson and William Flor
ence formed an alliance to play THE Ri
walls" Mrs. Drew was selected to be the
Mrs. Malaprop, and few years ago, when
the famous "all STAR cast was formed to
represent "The Rivals" for Mr.. c. w.
Couldocb's benefit, she reappeared in her
old role.
She afterward went on tour with that
company, and that was her last regular
engagement. A few years ago she played
for time with Miss Julia Marlowe in
1.-THE Love Chase" and at another time
she appeared at the Standard theater here
in 1.-THE Arabian Nights" One season,
too. she had her own company out and
played 1.-THE Rivals" 1.-The Love Chase"
and 1.-The Road to Ruin" Her son, Mr..
Sydney Drew and his wife, Miss Gladys
Rankin supported her then.
I.atterly Mrs. Drew has made her home
with her son, Mr.. John Drew, and has
only occasionally been seen at the thea
tiers, at a benefit or a special professional
performance of some sort. Her appear
ance is always the signal for hearty
round of applause from her fellow actors
and actresses, all of whom look up to and
admire her, and many of whom have her
to thank for kindly words of encourage
ment when words of encouragement were
what they most needed.

TELLS MORE THAN WAS INTENDED
Granite Monument at Antietam
RcsalIs a Family History.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat.
Major Kingsbury had a daughter, as
well as the son who fell at Antietam. The
daughter married Simon Bolivar Buckner
of Kentucky some time before the war.
When Gen. Buckner decided to go to the
confederacy the danger of confscation of
his wife's interest in the Chicago estate
confronted him. a family council resulted
in the transfer of Mrs. Buckner's prop
erty to her brother Col. Kingsbury fell
in battle without leaving a will to protect
his sisters inheritance. When the war
closed the return of Mrs. Buckners in
terest in her fathers estate was asked for
in behalf of her children. Mrs. Kingsbury
declined to concede it. She claimed all
that had been left in her husbands name
for her son and herself. Litigation fol-
lowed and dragged along for years. Maj.
Kingsburys forty acres were in the heart
of Chicago when the fire occurred.
In the years Immediately following the
war Washington had few women more
talked about than the beautiful widows
Mrs Beck Jones and Mrs. Kingsbury, the
nieces of an ex-President of the United
States. Mrs. Kingsbury became the wife
of Gallatin Lawrence, son of one of the
wealthy manufacturers in Rhode Island
Gallatin Lawrence had chosen diplo-
matte career. He was sent to Costa Rica
