Christmas novelties suitable for home
manufactures.
The lists were numbered ana read
aloud without anything being said to
betray their authorship. A bonbon
ballot was cast for the string OF sug-
gestions best combining originality
with practicabfIfty, and a dainty prize
was given to the winner. Miss Heber-

the hints, So she found herself with

It is reported that the Russian mill
tary transport authorities estimate the
through carrying capacity of the SlDe-
rian railway for the next six months
at about $4,000 men and the necessary
stores every four weeks. says the New
York Post. The estimate given by
them in the early summer varied from
$4,000 to- $1,000, and the former rate
seems to have been maintained. THANKS

main line from Samara to HarDln Is

Russia's transport difficulties, as the
number of trains dispatched westward
with sick and wounded and with emp

campaign grows older. In the mean
time the railway system in southern
Russia has been most seriously disor-

unterrifed Bryan brand of democrats
turned out and voted for him when he
had no opposition, TO which we suppose
were added the 81 original Parkerites

the second district last spring.
If il were not for the unnecessary
annoyance that it might cause the
able congressman from the sec )nd we
