CHRISTMAS
PRESENT FOR
SANTA FE
Close Connection is to Be Made Over
the Lamy Branch With Five of the
Main Line Trains.

On Christmas day an important
change in time table will go into eff.
feet on the Santa Fe System, which
will give Santa Fe close connection
with three more through trains on the
main line than at present, Nos. 1 and
8, westbound, and No. 10 eastbound,
this being effected by putting an ad-
ditional run on the Lamy branch.
Train No. '720, that leaves Santa Fe at
present at 1910 a. M, to connect with
No. from the south, and which also
brings in the passengers that arrive
during the night at Lamy on No. and
the eastbound flyer, as we'll as in the
morning on the westbound flyer, will
from Sunday morning on, leave at 9 a.
M, connecting with both Nos. 2 and
10 eastbound returning to Santa Fe
as at present, at 1901 p. m. Direct
connection will be re-established on
the same date with No. /, which will
leave Santa Fe at 1920 p m. and will
return at 6:15 p. m. Connections
Win NO. Will leave santa re as for
merly at 7:10 p. m. This will also
make close connection with the new
train. No. 9. westbound, and will re-
turn to Santa Fe at 7:10 p. m. No. 9
will pass Lamy at $40 p. M, and No.
10, the same train eastbound, at 10
a. m.
This is a great improvement over
the present service, although direct
connection with No. 8, eastbound, and
both flyers, will still be lacking. Main
line points will have eight passenger
trains day, Nos. 1, 3, and 9, west
bound, and Nos. 2, 8. 10 and 4, east
bound, while Santa Fe will have three
daily trains, making close connection |
with five of the main line trains.

INDIAN FETISH CEREMONY.
Survivals of Magical O~bservances
Which Are Illustrative of
Lower Hinduism.

In his report on the last Indian CEN
sus, Mr.. II. Risley, who is a we'll known
authority on Indian folk lore and an
thropology, gives q curious example of
the readiness with which the people
accept new objects of worship, and sur
round them with a special ritual. The
Pioneer, which quotes Mr.. Risley's re-
port, explains that every year when
the government of India moves to Sim
la to Calcutta, there go with it as or
derlies, or chapraisis, a number of cul-
tivators from the hills round about
Simla, who are employed to carry dis
patch boxes and to attend Upon the va.
rious grades of officials in that great
bureaucracy. At the time of the spring
equinox there is a festival called Sri
~Panchami, when ii is incumbent upon
every religious-minded person to wor-
ship the implements or insignia of the
vocation by which he lives. The SOL
der w%orships his sword, the c%ultivator
his pillow, the money lender his ledger,
the thugs had a picturesque ritual for
adorning the pickaXe with which they
dug the graves of their victims; and, to
take the most modern instance, the
operatives in the pute mills near CAL
cutta bow down to the Glasgow-made
engines which drive their looms. Mr.,
Risley says:
1.-TWO years ago | asked one of the
orderlies what worship he had done on
this particular occasion, and he was
good enough to give me, knowing that
| was interested in the subject, a min
ute description Of the ritual observed.
The ceremony took place on the fiat
roof of the huge pile of buildings which
is occupied by the secretariats of the
government of India. The worship

priest a Puniabi Brahman, who was
employed in the same capacity as them
selves. They took one of the large
packing cases which are used to convey
office records from Simla to Calcutta,
and draped its rough woodwork with
plantain leaves and branches of the
sacred pipal tree. On this foundation
they set up an Office dispatch box,
which served as a sort of altar; in the
center of the altar was placed as the
principal fetish a common English
glass inkpot. with a screw top, and
round this were arranged the various

FOOTWEAR AND NERVES.
Tight-Fitting Shoes Have u Great

Ihe most common causes of those Sc

grouped under the comprehensive
heading OF nerves, are just those which
are least suspected, says Alice King, NJ.
d., in American Queen. | have people
come to me who declare that their nerves
are all to pieces, and they cannot under

the least foundation) chat he is a bring

The compression of the foot initiates

The PRESBYTERIAN Song Service.

On the first Sunday evening of
each month the choir of the Pres
byterian church renders a special
song service, and the. program last
Sunday evening was of an excep-
tionally high order. The selections
we're chosen from the cantata
Ruth, the Noabitess:" this cantata
telling in song the Biblical story of
Ruth's beautiful character and de
votion.
Having left the idolatrous land
of Moab because of famine, Ruth
CLEANS in the barley fields of Beth
1ehem that her mother-in- law, Ma
omi, may have food. She wins ia
vor in the sight of Boaz, wealthy
kinsman, but, loyal to Naomi, re-
turns at night with the results of
the days cleaning. Boaz, pleased
with this devotion, sends comfort
to Naomi and in time takes Ruth to
wife. She adopts the religion of
Israel and bears son from whose
seed springs the line OF David.
Some of the choicest selections of
the sacred opera were given, such
as the opening chorus, Hear Thou
Jehovah;" my Spirit Faints," a
duet by Miss Grace O'Hair and
Prof. Mayo; The Stun Der Song" of
Boaz to Ruth, a solo by Mr.. Todd;
"The Lord Shall Keep Thee,"$a trio
by Misses Lorenz, Daum and Gran
mis-, and "Plenty Restored" by the
full chorus. The offertory consist
ed of violin solo by Mr.. Copley.
The program showed careful prep
aration under the able direction of
Prof. Mayo. Special credit for the
success of these interesting and in
structing services is due to Rev.
and Mrs. Todd. ....
