The Giving Of Gifts.

The custom Of giving presents at the
New Year is older than our modern
custom of Christmas gifts. In the
middle ages it was the common usage
in churches to display boxes for espe-

the season. Parents gave their CHI

ployers t,-cir apprentices small sums
Of money to put in the box. BY and

William Southern Stops a Runa-

WOMAN DIDN'T GIVE NAME

A woman and little child were saved
from possible death yesterday afternoon
by the quickness and bravery of William
Southern, 1920 Roosevelt avenue, who is
employed as a driver by Flanner & Buch-
anan. Southern had been detained at his
home and was walking down town when
al Tenth street and Massachusetts ave-
pue he a horse coming rapidly down
Tenth street, evidently beyond control. AS
the swiftly moving vehicle approached he
could that the woman VINO was driv-
ing was terrified, and that the animal was
wild with fright. a train just pulling
across the street, which added element
of great danger.
Southern acted quickly, and running to
the middle of the street, caught the horse
al the bit. He was dragged almost thirty
feet before the animal gave up the strug-
gle and became quiet. The point where
the vehicle was finally stopped was less
than ten feet from the train which was
moving swiftly across the street. The
woman thanked her rescuer took his name
and drove down Tenth street without re-
vealing her identity. Southern was badly
bruised in his struggle with the horse
and was compelled to visit a physician,
who dressed his injuries.

Parker THIRTEEN
AND HEARST EIGHT

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. April o.
Thirteen delegates for Parker and eight
for Hearst is the net result of to-day's
Democratic conventions in Montgomery
county, to select delegates to the state con-
vention TO be held on May IL. The contest
was bitter from start TO finish and Will not
fail 10 leave its scars. Nearly every Demo-
crat in the county was aligned in the con-
tests preliminary to to-day's convention,
and the bitterness of the antecedent strug-
giles. was carried to the floor of the con-
vention.
The first skirmish was over the selection
of permanent chairman. NJ. f. Clodfelter
presented the name of Emerson Ballard,
on behalf of the Hearstites, and during his
speech he was hissed and howled at, but
finished in good order The Parker men
nominated Wint Washburn, and their
spokesman was the recipient of compli
ments in kind. The Hearst forces de-
manded a standing vote. but this was de-
MED, and Washburn was declared elected
end took the chair amid pandemonium of
Kisses. yells and. cat-calls. Emerson Bal
lard moved TO have the selection Of dele
gates referred back to the townships for
over the angry protests of the Hearstites.
Ballard and others failed to secure recog-
milton on points of order. and the commit
tee on resolutions was appointed. The town
ship delegations were instructed to meet
in designated places to select delegates, and
a fight over the Endorsement of a presden-
tial candidate was avoided by precon-
certed arrangement under which the con-
vention was declared adjourned before the
committee resolutions could report.
There were bitter contests i'm all the
township meetings. Eight townships, or all
but two of the out townships, selected
Hearst delegates, showing that the Hearst
strength lies in the rural districts. but the
Parker men carried Union township. i'm
which is Charlottesville, with its prepon-
derance of delegates, by al to 10, and this,
with two out townships, makes the net re-
suit 13 to in favor of Parker.
