COAL DOCK
Will Be Ready by Saturday for the
Test.

The engineer who has charge of
the building of the large coal dock
at Twelfth street and the railroad
tracks for the Pennsylvania rail
road company, expects to have the
dock in running order by Saturday
when the first test will be made
1t has taken over two months for
the dock to be completed on account
Of a number of important changes
which were made. The failure Of a
large amount Of material to arrive
on time was also cause for the de-
Law in the building The dock Is
the first one of its kind to be built
west of Columbus, although one is
now under construction at Bradford
Junction. Ohio. The test Saturday
will be watched with interest by a
number of prominent railroad men.
The dock itself is wonderful piece
of construction and it will save a
large amount of time in loading the
tenders of engines with coal.

COACH AT YALE
"Billy' Lush, Former Polo Referee,
Accepts New Position.

William T. Lush, who was one of
the referees of the Western Polo
League, has been engaged as profess
sional baseball coach at Yale Uni
versity. Lush was to have played
in the Cleveland left field the COM
ing season and it is likely that he
will be late in joining the team as
his duties at Yale will continue un-
til after the league baseball season
has started. He is the first profess
sional coach Yale has had in ten
years when Clarkson. the old Nation
al Lacquer coached them. Lush was
very we'll liked by polo fans through
out the Western League, but he and
the league managers could not agree.

LARGE NUMBER OF LETTERS

ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE

In Tuesday mornings Palladium
it was announced that parents who
knew their children would not re-
ceive very much Christmas on ac-
count of poverty, were invited to
send letters to the Christmas Fund
Department of this paper and ar
rangements would be made to give
the poor little ones a treat. Yes
terday letters came into this Office
in large quantities from anxious
fathers and mothers who wanted
their little ones to have some enjoy
ment on Christmas day. If just one
Of thees letters was published so
that our readers could see for them
selves the dire straits in which some
families are We are confident that
the fund would be doubled before
nightfall. The letters, however, will
not be published as it was stated in
the article yesterday morning that
all such letters received would be
perfectly confidential However, two
lines from one of the letters will
be quoted: "I have two children and
[ do not think that I will be able
to get them anything for Christmas
as their father has not the money
to spend.' The above was from a
mother who wishes to see her chill
dren L2se a treat on Christmas day,
yet she could not afford to buy them
ANYTHING. The articles which the
children wish for are not toys or
candies, but something which will
be of benefit to them - clothing.
That is just one instance of a num-
Der of cases which have come to this
Office Last evening a little fellow
who did not look to be much over
four years of age and talked with a
lisp. walked into this Office and told
the Christmas fund manager that
he was a very poor little boy and
that he did not believe that Santa
Claus would visit him. He asked
the manager to see if he could not
have some toys for his Christmas.
He had written a little note to Santa
Claus, stating the fact that he was
poor and that he did not wish to be
forgotten. It is very likely that
there are hundreds of cases in this
city that are not now known that
are very similar to those two men
toned above.

bound over
Earl Huntington Sent to Circuit
Court Under S1O0 Bond.

Earl Huntington, who was charg-
ed with the theft of revolver from
Charles Mitchell, in police court yes
terday morning, was bound over to
the circuit court under bond of 500.
Huntington pleaded hard for his
liberty, but Mayor Zimmerman
would not release him. Mitchell
was the only witness for the State
in the case and it was his word
against that of Huntington, as no
one had seen the defendant take the
pistol. Huntington claimed that the
revolver was given to him by Mitch
ell to get beer money.

cause of the very serious illness Of

clans recently announced that a new
development had taken place in the
sufferers ailment and that he had
taken a relapse. After due delibera-
ton the class decided to abandon

given on February p. Mr.. Kinker
was a very popular student in the
school and was especially disting-
uished in the art classes.

MODERN WAYS IN JAPAN.
Western Customs Being introduced

II you but try to look at tiny hand
Of any girl In a wellto-do family of
present day Japan-a hand coming
out Of a scarlet lined sleeve-you will
easily find a jeweled ring or rings on
her fingers. Jewels we had none be-
fore. but we prize them Just the same
As to the wearing Of rings. even gen.
tlemen are often seen with thick
gold ring made out Of an old Japanese
coin called "koban.' The study of
the introduction OF new custom is
Interesting.
In the case OF SNOW white pillows"
they were first used in hospitals.
where we adopted everything from the
west as 1t was We did not have
sheets for our beds along with that,
but cleanness recommended itself to
the Japanese. and the custom was
readily followed by those who took a
fancy to 1t.
AS to kissing. It Is rather delicate
to touch on. but II cannot be dismissed
with a general statement that 'in af-
lection and love the japanese are out
wardly undemonstrative." All de-
pends upon circumstances. Generally
speaking. we shun the eyes of the
public to be demonsuative. or to seek
the occasion when all can Join with
us. Kissing as practiced in the west

young couple of modern Japan should
take to it to express their love.

LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS.
The Old Adaae Sometimes Proves Diet
rimentai to 1uecess.

The bugbear of Giving beyond your
means" has kept many man from
knowledge of the latent qualities
which might have made him great. 1t
has deprived families of all but the bare
necessities of life and caused their
members to experience hardship and
want All this because the head of
the house" has placed low limit on
the domestic expenditures and has also
unconsciously restricted his earning
capacity to a corresponding minimum.
One of the greatest incentives TO work
Is debt. Nothing more develops the av-
erage mans earning capacity or spurs
him on to greater accomplishments
than the knowledge that he has an OBJ
legation which can be met only in this
way
The young man who believes he is
practicing wise economy and
worthy self-denial when he seeks the
cheapest living ard denies himself
many of the necessities of life is often
making a mistake. HIS thought is to
make his expenses fit his income rather
than make his services so valuable that
his income will be incI eased.
Just as necessity is the mother OF
invention so is good living related to
the ability to earn it. The man WHO
is always striving TO cut his expendi-
lures to the lowest degree will grow
smaller and narrower in his deals until
he can be likened to those who alwa"S
look into the wrong end of the tele-
scope. Instead of broadening and ex-
panding his lines with a view to great
achievements, he is seeking little. eX-
pectIng little, doing less.
