The Christmas Delineator. i.

The December DeIiReotor, with its
message of good cheer and helpful
ness, will be welcomed in every
home. The fashion pages are un-
usually attractive, illustrating and
describing the very latest modes in
way to make their construction
during the busy festive season a
pleasure instead of a task, aud the
literary and pictorial features are of
rare excellence. A selection of Love
Songs from the Wagner Operas, rem
dered into English by Richard de
Gallienne and beautifully illustrated
in colors by J. G. Leyendecker, oc-
cupies a prominent place, and a
chapter in the Composers Series,
relating the Romance of Wagner and
Cosima. is an interesting supple
ment to the lyrics. A very clever
paper entitled The Court Circles
of the Republic" describing some
unique phases of Washington social
life is from an unnamed contributor,
who is said to write from the inner
circles of society. There are short
stories from the pens OF +. Hopkin-
son Smith, Robert Grant, Alice
Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and
Elmore Elliott Peake, and such in
teresting writer's as Julia Magru-
der, L. Frank Baum, and Grace Mac
Gowan Cooke hold the attention of
the children. Many Christmas sug-
gestions are given in needlework
and the Cookery pages are redolent
of the Christmas feast. Inaddition,
there are the regular departments
of the magazine, with many special
articles on topics relating to woman S

George Brown, sleelored. was. be
fore Justice 10. F. Morgan. last
Thursday charged with stealing q
dollar from John Shaw, also colored.
The Justice EXPRESSED belief shat
Brown was guilty, but thought the
evidence adduced would not con-
vict before the Circuit Court and to
save expense Of recognizing the
numerous witnesses, determined to
release the prisoner. The Justice
advised the States Attorney, how
ever, TO have the Grand Jury inves-
tigate the case and determine if the
facts would not warrant indictments
for perjury against some of the wit
nesses.
1t is always pleasant for the BEA-
CON TO chronicle the success of a
st. Mary's boy, but specially so
when the boy is the son of an old
and valued friend. William T. Bean,
of the Second District left the coun-
ty some years ago and by his worth
and talent has risen from an sppren-
tice in the shops Of White & Middle
ton, the great gas and gasoline en-
gine builders, of Baltimore, to fore
man in their works. Mr.. Bean has
saved money, and lately, when his
old home place wao sold, bought it.
We wish him continued success, for
we know he deserves it.

Dear Brother King: Under the
peculiar circumstances, l am not
surprised that you got the local
columns of my last Beacon upside
down." But l do object to having
to stand on my head to read the
news.
l presume, however, that it was
done so Intentionally, as a better
means of showing your readers just
about how up set" you felt over
the surprising and disastrous
results of the recent election.
II SO, you certainly have my per-
sonal sympathy in your perturbed
condition, for l have been in just
such q position once or twice myself,
in my own short experience.
However, don't be discouraged at
such a fleeting trifie. Peck your
flint and try again." But do try to
get upon higher ground next time,
for fear of worse fiood-1 possible.
The people are not all, nor always,
wrong on public questions, though
to some of US it may sometimes thus
seem to be. The eternal ages
may enlighten us more. even tho
the passing present be insufficient
for that important task.

proverbs

When the butter won't

churn." is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
' SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
