ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION.
Railroad Men of Fort Wayne An
nOyed Contrary to Law.

A letter was received by Attorney Cen
eral Taylor yesterday from X. Kimmel, a
Fort Wayne railroad man, who claims that
many employees of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, both shop and road men, at Fort
Wayne, are annoyed by parties from Chi
cago, Wheeling, w. Va, and Dayton, o.,
buying up claims against them and taking
the claims out OF the State for the pur-
pose of garnisheeing their wages. In an
swer to the letter Attorney General Taylor
held that whoever sends or causes TO be
sent from the State any claim for debt to
be collected by proceedings in attachment
or garnishment when the creditor, debtor
or person, or corporation owing for the
earnings intended to be reached by such
proceedings in attachment are each and all
within the Jurisdiction of the courts of
Indiana, shall, on conviction, be fined not
more than $50 nor less than $40 for each
claim; and, further, that whoever, either
directly or Indirectly, transfers or assigns
any claim for debt against a citizen of
Indiana for the purpose of having the same
collected by proceedings in attachment or
garnishment or other process out of the
wages or personal earnings of the debtor,
when. the creditor and debtor can be
reached by the courts of this State, is also
subject 10 a fine of not more than so nor
less than $40 for each offense.
Attorney General Taylor said this law
had been upheld by both the Supreme and
Appellate courts Of Indiana. The courts
denounce and make a crime the sending or
causing to be sent out of the State any
claim against a resident of this State to
be collected by proceedings in attachment.
etc, where all the people live in this State.
The purpose of the law, he said, was to
protect railway men and laboring men from
attachment in other States.

Topic for Dec. L; Children of Cod
Romans, viii, 14-17.

Who does not know who Helen Keller is, the
marvellous deaf. blind. and dumb girl? Thus
fearfully bereft from babyhoOo, yet she has
learned to speak, and she is making excellent
progress through Radcliffe College.
Until she was six years old. Helen Keller was
told nothing Of religious matters. AT that age
she was taken to Phillips Brooks. and very ten
derby and lovingly did the great preacher tell
the little girl Of God, her Father in heaven.
When the simple sermon was over. Helen said
II knew that before. 1 think l have always
known it,"
So it seems that the knowledge OF the Father
is a natural instinct Of the soul, a longing Gre
ated within the human race. never satisfied till
Christ came. but since that time growing more
confident and blessed every year.
Some would have us believe that this concep-
ton Of God as our Father and Of men as His
children is a thought that belittles the infinite
Ruler of the universe. No better answer can
be made to such directors than was made to
Collins. the skeptic. who once asked an untaught

why, how can that be?'
He is so great the farmer answered, that
the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him; and
so little that He can dwell in my heart"
1t is necessary to get a conception of Gods
power; without it we shall not be strong our

the thought Of Gods love. What is it to know
ones self the child Of God? 1t is to enjoy the
most exalted companionship at all times. 1t is
to have absolutely no fear OF worries for the
future. 1t is to receive all men as brothers.
1t is to be confident of perfect guidance. 1t is
to be sure of power adequate to all our needs.
1t is to have heaven on earth while We live and
an eternity of heaven hereafter.
How can We become children Of God? We are
children of God already. We may have wan
dered from the Fathers house, but We are His
children, even in the far country
How may we know that we are children Of
God, entering consciously. by intimate daily
experience, into this blessed relationship? By
doing Gods will. That is the way a child comes
to know his earthly father. He must walk in
the way his father marks out for him, refrain
ing from what his father forbids and doing
what his father commands. In that way he
comes to realize his fathers wisdom and power
and love. Just so, the more closely we live with
God, studying His revealed will for men and
conforming our lives to il, the more certainly
shall we know Him to be our father. : Then we
can make our own these happy words Of Mar
ianne Farningham's:

How great Thy gentleness!
We dare to live, and dare to die.
Who are not fatheress.
Dear Father, whom we cannot see,
Our life is glad because of Thee.

Bits of Fashion.

Silver buttons, both dull and polished,
are very much in vogue and are used on
every sort of garment from velvet to serge.
A welcome innovation for many women
comes in the form of paneled or battle
mented basque bodices. An elongated
basque cuts the figure somewhat, and the
straight edge is u~nbecOming. Cut into tabs
or panels, the objection is removed.
The new Spencer waist. closing with but
tons and b~uttonholes at the center of the
front, has the dip outline below the belt
and close coat sleeves with bell cuffs. Somt
of these waists are unlfned when made OF
chamois-fintshed flannel, velvet or cordu-
roy.
Corduroys and silk-faced velveteens in
golden brown, silver gray, lustrous moss
green. and other handsome winter colors
are set forth among the popular fabrics of
the season. They are made up with skirts
that clear the ground by two inches all
around. and the most fashionable finish is
the Norfolk blouse jacket with stitched
both front and back, with a gracefully
shaped yoke top, high rolling collar, and
two-seam sleeves, with slightly flared cuffs.
Women who have slender, graceful fig
ures are entirely willing to continue the
fashion of fastening the bodice at the
back. Many dressmakers consider that
even a moderately good figure looks well
in this style of waist, provided 1t is slight
lacing cords or fancy buttOning makes a
defined line or break down the back and
this imparts a slender effect. Invisible
fastenings are still. however, favored, and
are likely to continue in vogue all win
ter.
Now that the hair is dressed low again,
IL is waved and sometimes parted slightly
on the left side Of the head, or else drawn
evenly and loosely from the face into a
coil that may be worn as low as desired.
With evening bodices, the coil with ultra
fashionable women is extremely low, like
the Langtry couture of other days. The
shell combs that AVE been worn are van
fishing, and even for full-dress wear
aigrettes and bows are seen less than half
wreaths of flowers or a single delicate or
richly glowing rose.
At one of the New York weddings of
the week the six bridesmaids were dressed
in varying shades of pink, ranging from a
delicate tint to a deep rose-color. The
frocks were of crepe de chine, and the
handsome picture hats were Of pink with
feathers TO match. This marks a late in
novatiOn in wedding effects, and one that
is highly artistic. y lovely bridal pro-
cession of a fortnight ago showed the
brides attendants in exquisite gowns of
mauve and violet shades, hats and chiffon
mCffS matching each gown. Though try
ing in itself TO some of the wearers, the
ensemble was charming, and as brides
maids expect 30 shine only as accessories
on these important occasions, their altru-
ism may easily extend to a slight sacri-
fee OF individual appearance for the sake
Of the attractive whole.

BrOOms and busters.

Woman's Home Companion.
For hardwood or stained floors and those
covered with mating a hair broom should
be used. The hardwood floors need to be
busted after sweeping. n very easy way
of doing this is to make a canton flannel
bag Of some dark color and tie it over a
common broom. A vigorous rubbing with
this covered broom will add considerable
polish to a dim floor. For wiping floors
heavy canton fannel makes a good cloth.
Cut a convenient size and overcast the
edges coarsely. This is also an excellent
plan for cleaning paint. Busters made of
cheese cloth with the hens run in are soft
to use and wash easily. Old India or
foulard silk is the best thing l have ever
tried for bric-a-brac and small articles.
All busters should be washed and dried
after using. There is nothing gained by
using a cloth filled with dust. 1t will not
make anything clean. If brooms, both
lars and small, are often washed and
dried, then turned up on their handles,
they will sweep cleaner and last longer.
There should be a convenient place for
keeping brooms, dust pans and cloths. 1t
will save many steps if a set is kept on
each floor.

of S13,O72.65 in the general fund and ended
with a balance of sic. 123. Is. From the
state tax of one-twentieth Of / mill Sos, $40
was received. There is a balance of s.. $50. 81

About Christmas Gifts.

Harper's Bazaar.
The choice of a Christmas gift for a girl
friend is most unlimited. Nearly every
thing that Santa Claus brings in his pack,
except the toys Of actual childhood, is ac-
ceptable to her-small silver belongings for
toilet or writing table. accessories of the
shopping, calling or evening toilet in the
way Of purse, chatelaine attachments, card
case, fan, evening bags, larger ones for
slippers, long narrow ones made Of three
inch handsome ribbon for fan, small square
ones for opera glass, a hatpin, of which a
girl can hardly have too many, from the
airy filigree trile of her evening hat to
the cairngorm or other odd effect which
she likes TO thrust through her felt school
or shopping hat-any one Of these is q good
choice. Girls at home or at school or the
older girls keeping bachelor house like
little furnishings for their rooms-a picture,
bric-a-brac, the fOrtieth sofa pillow, and
the rest. 1t is when a selection must be
made for the man outside Of the family,
whose gift Is prompted by courtesy or
friendship, that the list is somewhat more
limited. Even here, however, a much wider
scope is possible than formerly. If it is a
college friend, something for his room
whose use is not too intimately personal
is an easy selection. OF course, a pillow.
a college flag, a photograph frame deco
rated with some college emblem. a pine
rack. and other similar things readily sug-
gest themselves. For his dressing bureau, a
glove. handkerchief or necktie case, a pin
cushion or bureau cloth, will please him.

The Woman Who Disappears.

New York Evening Sun.
Why do all the young women who are
mysteriously lost, strayed or stolen wear
so much jewelry? Every vanishing lady
of them, according to her published de-
scription, is loaded down with trinkets.
"She wore a gold breastpin, set with sap
phires, a turquoise and gun-metal CyranO
chain, a Ia VALERIE pendant in pearl
attached to a gold chain, a Nethersole BAN
gle in richly chased silver, a blue enameled
watch encrusted with diamonds and bow
knot pin TO match, a Turquoise belt PIN,
a jeweled belt buckle, and rings, consist
ing of three solitaire diamonds, one clus-
ter diamond, two pearls and one emerald, "
is the usual formula in describing the
missing one for the purposes of identifca-
ton. Jewelry is fashionable now-more
so than it has been for some time-but
never is it displayed in such wholesale
quantities as upon the woman who disap-
pears. If she hasn't been abducted be-
cause of her wealth of gems, it is clear
she has wandered off in an alteration of
mind by no means temporary. No woman
could make such a walking jewelry shop
OF herself and be altogether sane.
