Though the past season has seen no such great

when Australia conferred full suffrage upon her
women citizens, yet the winters work has not been
without encouraging features
Australia is perhaps about to take another
step in advance. There is on foot movement to
seat woman, Miss Vida Goldstein, in the parlia-

known to many Americans through addresses de-

SOME CHRISTMAS DoN'Ts.
PHILADELPHIA Record

Philadelphia Record.
Don't hurry.
Don't worry.
Don't be stingy.
Don't get snappy.
Don't go into debt
Don't become reckless.
Don't rush in shopping.
Don't give live animals.
Don't lose your patience.
Don't waste time regretting.
Don't let go of your purse or bag.
Don't allow yourself to find fault.
Don't fidget at being kept waiting.
Don't fail to be as courteous as ever.
Don't forget that saespeople are human.
Don't forget that the salespeople have their
troubles
Don't neglect to carry the small pack ages
with you.
Don't give bottles of extracts, even If people
will use them.
Don't make people glad that Christmas
comes but once year.
Don't give anything that imposes a great
amount of care unless you know it is desired.
Don't lay your small belongings on coun-
ters and then complain about their disap
pearing.
Don't expect the gifts you make to give the
recipient as much pleasure as they give you.
Don't forget that there's quite as much in
the spirit in which gift is offered as in the
gift ITSELF
Don't forget to give personal things. A
scrub brush may be useful, but it will not
serve to distract the scrubwoman's MIND from
her everyday WEAKNESS.
Don't, above all, present person with some
thing you have given this same person on
some previous occasion. It's about as bad as
fogretting to give anything at all.
Don't spoil the pleasure of it all by wearing
yourself out. Those near and dear to you
would prefer a serene face and no gift to some
purchase that has put wrinkles on your fore
head.

Mr.. anrs Attitude Commended.
Baltimore Herald.

Mr.. Gill, who, on the face of incompleted re-
turns, took seat in the City Council deserves
the highest commentator for the announce
ment that he will accept the verdict of coun-
cilmanic committee with respect to the con-
test now filed against him. Mr.. Gill might
take advantage of legal technicalities and
through them establish title to the seat, or at
least protract his occupation thereof for long
time This course would not be indefensible.
Nevertheless, the course chosen is much more
laudable.
The Mr.. Gill above alluded to is Mr.. Roger
T. Gill, of the well known law firm of N. Ru-
fus Gill & Sons. He is a Democrat.

church Cornerstone Laid.-The corner
stone for the new Methodist Episcopal Church
in Govanstown was laid last Sunday afternoon.
Rev. H. S. France, D. D.. presiding elder of
East Baltimore district, had charge of the SER
vices, assisted by the pastor of the church,
Rev Howard +. Downs Rev. w. w. Shaw,
pastor of the Govanstown Presbyterian
Church, and Rev. w. ]. Nicoll, pastor of Go
vanstown Baptist Church.
In the copper box of the stone were de-
posted a Bible, hymnal copy of the church
discipline, year book copies of secular and re.
ligious papers, a photograph and historical
sketch of the old church and list of the
church members and of those who contribu-
ted to the new building.
The church is to be of stone, with white
marble trimmings.
1t has several times been enormously stated
by the Baltimore papers in referring to the
erection of the above church that the old build
ing, recently torn down, was erected on the
site of Evans Chapel. This chapel is said to
have been one of the first Methodist Churches
erected in the immediate vicinity of Balti-
more and stood ON what was then called Evans
Chapel road, now Roland avenue. short dis
lance north of Roland Park. When 1T was
abandoned as a regular appointment on the
circuit, upwards of fifty years ago, the congre-
cation secured the present location on the
York turnpike in Govanstown and erected the
stone chapel recently torn down to make room
for the new church now in course OF construc-
ton.

IT IS wonderful how soon man is forgotten
when be drops out of Office. William M.
Springer who died few days ago, spent
twenty years of his life in Congress and made
for himself national name. AT last he re-
tired from public life to practice his profession,
and had not been heard of since. 1t is the
case with every one, and yet great mass of
American youths of the educated or ambitious
class at some time in their lives long for the
excitement of an official career.

The Servant Problem.-Home and family
life was the subject of the sermon of Rev.
John R. Edwards, pastor of Towson NJ. E.
Church, last Sunday night. Among other
things be said II would place housekeeping
among the fine arts. To be able to do any and
all services in neat and acceptable housekeep-
ing, so far as health will permit, should be
considered an accomplishment on the part of
every wife and mother. 1t is necessary in the
employment of domestics to remember that
human beings in all relations of life some
times get tired have nerves and feelings. To
rest them treat them as human to bestow
confidence in them usually aids to make rela-
tions agreeable between mistress and maid.
A smile is nowhere more contagious than in
the home. There kindness spreads and q
happy song finds echoes"

Girl Burned the Barn-Rosie Richardson,
little colored girl, was tried before Judge
Burke on Wednesday and convicted upon the
charge of having set fire to the barn of Sheriff
James Rittenhouse, near Mount Winans, 18th
district. The girls mother is employed by
Mr.. Rittenhouse, and it was claimed that she
set fire to the barn twice. The first time the
fire was extinguished and the second time the
barn was destroyed. The only defense offered
was that the girl is weak minded. Judge
Burke said that he did not consider that she
possessed much mental capacity and would
take this fact into consideration when sentenc-
ing her.
