This is the time when the greatest
number of people study newspaper
advertisements for suggestions about
Christmas presents. They want spe-
cific information, and, as far as prac-
ticable prices. 1t is the best time for
those who do not advertise regularly
to begin, with the view not merely of
selling holiday stock, but of gaining
publicity that can be maintained
and increased by persistent advertis-
ing.
We have in press a calendar which

1t is told of pretty school ma Jam

steps every night. The farmers have
requested that she withdraw her re-

who had not yet taken the opposite
side for the extension of slavery,
adopted that view and defended the
denial of the constitutional writ of
habeas corpus to Florida. Still later,
in the days of the Wilm OF Proviso
discussions, Benton and Webster
championed the same constitutional
theory. Perhaps officers of the Gov
ernment have been acting unconsti-
tutionally in the Territories at inter
walls for century, because nobody
tested those particular acts in court,
though they did not by any means
pass without question and controver-
sy. But certainly this view has been
held too long, and by too many EN-
inent men, to be characterized to-day
by its opponents as new invention
trumped up to serve the interests of
commercial Adventures.
The difference on this question is
merely one phase of the unending
controversy between two conceptions
of the nature of our Government and
Constitution, and the men who as
critics have sought most narrowly to
restrict authority have more than
once when in power, like Jefferson,
been driven to stretch it most widely

Children,s Request to Santa Claus.

Cnlluren'S Request TO santa Claus.
Our compliments to you dear Santa Claus
and our request
That you will not enquire too strictly who
has been the best
Amongst us little boys and girls, for all Of
us, you know,
Have not obeyed your mandates given just
one year ago.
But, jolly, dear old Santa Claus, let's make a
compromise;
You sneak out mammals pumpkin pies and
we win hide our eyes;
But when you have them safe and sure, just
leave us each sled,
a hobby horse, a cannon cracker gun or
dolly's bed;
Also some pretty dolls, dressed up in garnet,
pink and blue
A bag of nuts, some oranges and lots of
candy, too:
And don't forget, dear Santa, bout the muf-
fiers and skates,
So we can go a-skating if there's ice upon
the lakes.
And now our last request. dear Santa, is that
you'll forgive
Each naughty lit lie girl and boy and help us
all to live,
So when your missions ended and you take
your journey home,
You can bear good news about US children,
each and every one

Ella Jane Harvey, youngest child
of Mr.. and Mrs. jeremiah Harvey,
who reside near Red Oak School, af-
ter an illness of one week of typhoid
fever, died Tuesday, Dec. II, 1900,
aged 16 years, months and II days.
On Sunday before she died she
called her parents to her bedside and
told them that she must now go away,
that she would love to stay with
them, but she heard sweet singing
and must go.
The deceased was a promising girl,
kind to her teacher, school-mates and
all who knew her.
On Thursday, the 18th inst, all that
was mortal of the remains of Ella
were placed to rest in the Alternately
burying ground near Dobbin, w. Va.
Rev. Meredith, of the NJ. E. church,
conducted the funeral services and
delivered an impressive sermon from
Psalms 116: 10: "Precious in the sight
of the Lord is the death of his saints"
Two favorite hymns of the dead were
used Nearer, My God, to Thee and
What Friend We Have in Jesus"
The pall-bearers were Messrs. H. Hal
derman, Will Conaway, Henry Kitz-
miller, Ellie Kitzmiller, Edward Con-
away and Charles Blanble.
"Yes, we will miss thee, darling Ella,
While the years roll slowly on;
But we would not call the back
From that bright'and happy home.
Thou art gone to dwell with Jesus.
On that fair celestial shore;
There to wait and bid us welcome
When our stormy voyage is DER.
There to sing with happy angels
In the Fathers house above,
Where there is no pain nor parting.
But where all is peace and love-

A New Town.

A special to the Baltimore Sun from
Cumberland under date of the 18th
inst. says:
A project has been about consum-
mated for establishing a town in Som
erset county, Pennsylvania, near the
Garrett county, Maryland, line. The
projectors have purchased 10000 acres
of land lying partly in Garrett county
and partly in Somerset county, and
the enterprise will be equally bene-
fetal to both States, although the
town, which will probably be known
as Unamis, will lie within the con-
fines of Somerset county, and will be
touched by branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. The railroad
people are encouraging the enterprise.

Asbestos Eggs.

According to a statement in the
New York Herald hens fed by Penn
sylvania fancier on asbestos siftings
laid eggs that were unaffected by fire
and hence would not cook satisfac-
torily. The shell, it appears, is as
bestos and fireproof, though the con-
tents are normal. Chickens Matched
from these eggs are said to have no
feathers but a downy covering re-
sembling asbestos. The chickens are
much liked, but there is no market
for the fireproof eggs. The asbestos
egg recalls the india-rubber fish de-
scribed some time since in the New
York Sun. An angler, having caught
two suckers of one size, put rubber
band about the two to see whether
they could swim Siamese- twins fash
ion. They swain off all right and
were lost to view. Returning two
years later to fish at the same place,
the veracious angler caught several
fish each of which had two heads and
two tails with one body. When they
were cut open for cooking two back
bones were found, but they were
bound close together by ligament,
and disagreeable rubber flavor rem
dered the fish unpalatable. Shoes
smeared with the blood were water

Solomon Sisler, young man of
about eighteen years, residing near
Sunnyside, was brought to Oakland
last night with the greater portion of
his right hand torn to shreds as re-

the charge of shot passing through
his hand. An operation was per-
formed at the McComas Sanatarium

Mr.. Chas. E. Hilleary, of District

Miss Gould leaves a lovely country seat
upon the Hudson vacant during the
summer, and closes a magnificent dwell
ling on Fifth Avenue, but the home to
which she goes is worthy of her selec-
ton.
The household, it is said will consist
of Miss Gould's brother Frank, who is
the only unmarried Gould boy, and her
cousin; besides these Miss Gould has
many young friends who visit her con-
tinually.
1t is hardly to be expected that she
will devote herself to society entirely,
nor that she will dance until 4 in the
morning, only to reappear at 8 in the
morning at the Beach, as elegantly
gowned in morning dress, as fresh as
though there had been no nights dis
sipation; nor is it to be supposed that
she will take part in the sensational
theatricals which are so much a part

less than $100000,000 was left in bust

George. None of the family were at
that time over thirty years old, and
Jay Gould himself was only So at the
time of his death.
AS the sons and daughters grew into
maturity they married, them most not
able wedding being that of Anna, who,
at the age of Is, married the Count
Castellane. Towards marriage to
Katharine Clemmons occurred two
years later.
While the others We're engaged in
their own personal pursuits, Miss Gould
was devoting herself to the life work
which she had chosen, namely, that of

Her first great work was the building

When Like Like had been only a
short time wife, the Volcano Peel
broke out and vomited forth fire, smoke
and lava. The people of Hawaii We're
greatly terrified and consulted their
OracleS to find out how to check the
terrible mountain.
The ancient books said that Peel,
the ever terrible. would be contented
only with the sacrificed a human life;
and that the life. so sacrificed must be
one of the royal family
Like Like offered to give herself up as
a sacrifice to the awful God; and so,
in full sight of ALL she lay down and
deliberately starved to death, thus Sc
curing a niche in Immortality for her
self and peace for Hawaii for on the
very day that Like Like died, the vol
cano Peel became quiet.
When the revolution occurred in Ha-
waii Liliuokalani was put off the
throne, but the minds of the people
turned toward the little daughter of
the martyr Like Like; and for a long
time Kaiulani was the queen-elect.
But time and laws change, and the
story of how Hawaii became part OF
the United States is now history.
Queen Lii, as she is popularity called,
as being an abbreviation from her
more 1entghy title, goes back to Ha-
wall to spend her old age in peace and
tranquility. To show that she appre-
ciates her decline in fortune and in
years, it may be mentioned that she
has announced the giving up of all po-
litical ambitions, and that her only de-
sire is to die on her native soil.
One of the queens latest moves
