beautiful little lake that lay between

with Lake Michigan by a little river
Eabout half a mic long that has been
protected by dykes and dredged out

Muskegan. We tied up to a fisher

we could see the bottom of the river
below us and although the wind was
blowing hard there was not a ripple
on the river which ran between two
large dunes of sand, yellow sand, one
of the dunes to the sonth of us which

Denver,

Denver, Nov. 11.-The defeat OF
Governor James H. Peabody, Rep, by
AlVa Adams, Dem, is no longer seri
ously disputed by the Republican lead
ers All the other candidates on the
elected. Republicans allege fraud in
the balloting in some Denver precincts
and threaten to contest the state elec.
tion. However, as Adams has a plu.
rality of 10000, of which 500 is in the
state outside the city and county OF
Denver, his election would seem to be
assured beyond question.
Adams ran ahead of all other candi.
dates on his ticket and complete re-
turns may show that some Republican
candidates are elected.
Both sides are claiming the three
congressman. John f. Shafroth, DEM,
claims that he has been elected con.
gresham at large, but the returns are
SO incomplete that the result cannot
be stated positively.
The Democrats will control both
branches of the legislature unless

Nebraskan Discusses Recent Demo
craf;o

cratic Defeat.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 11-William J.
Bryan has given out an extended
statement concerning Tuesdays cleo
ton.
Mr.. Bryan said he would not at
tempt to deny all the reports circu-
lated as to his future political action,
but would let his statement serve to
explain his position. He says:
'sThe Democratic party has met
with an overwhelming defeat in the
national election. AS yet the returns
are not sufficiently complete to per-
nit analysis. The questions for con
SideratiOn at this time are what les
son does the election teach? and what
of the future? The defeat of Judge
Parker should not be considered a
personal one. He did as well as he
could under the circumstances, he was
tie victim of unfavorable conditions
and OF mistaken party policy.
He grew in popularity as the cam
paign progressed and expressed him
self more and more strongly upon the
trust question, but he could not over.
come the heavy odds against him.
Mr.. Bryan reviews the recent his
tory OF the Democratic party and says
that Mr.. Parker, although backed by
the Eastern press, indOrsed by Mr.
Cleveland and supported by the old
boiling Democratic papers, suffered q
worse defeat than did Bryan in either
OF his campaigns.

 They died the Spartan's death, But not in hopeless strife;
 They died-and their expiring breath Was freedoms breath of life. A few weeks afterwards when Gen. eral Houston and his gallant Texans marched out to victory with the inspir- ing battle cry: Remember the Alamo Remember Goliad!" the murder of Fan nin's men was bitterly atoned for on the field of San Jacinto crimsoned with the blood of Santa Anna's minions.

 The rest of the pitiful story is soon told. After the battle of San, Jacinto the Mexican forces retreated to the Rio Grande and Goliad once more came into the possession of Texan troops under the command of Brig. Gen. Thomas J. Rusk.

HOLIDAYPIN MONEY
 ANDHOW TOEARN IT
Christmas Shopping, Wrapping and Ship ping a Profitable Trade.-One Girl Has Brought It Down to Fine Art. Valuable Suggestions by Prac-
 tical Young Woman

Just before Christmas. more than at any season of the year, a girl yearns for pin money. Several years ago bright young moman in a large Eastern city started out to earn some pin money for Christmas gifts and ended in establishing a trade which lasts the year around. but is especially heavy during the month of December.
 She had dropped in to call on a friend who was busy shipping Christmas remem- brances to the four corners of the continent The young girl. lacking both relatives and the price wherewith to buy many gifts. was willing to lend a helping hand and when her disturbed friend could not decide wheth- CT to send a certain package by express or mail, she volunteered to look the matter up at the nearest express office and branch postoffice She found that the woman of means could save exactly forty-five cents by sending the parcel through the register ed mail Incidentally she brought homo some schedules of mailing and express rates.
 She helped to tie up the packages. and. having delft fingers, her work was of consid- erable importance to her hostess. The latter was SO impressed by the assistance rendered that she asked her young friend to return the next day. That was the beginning of her Christmas trade as a wrapper and shipper Today she has greatly enlarged

 But 1t Is during December that she is busiest She lays in a large stock of tissue paper in white. scarlet and green She buys red and green ribbon by the bolt. Ar tificial holly and Christmas cards she gets at wholesale. and for the last Christmas gifts to be sent out she uses natural holly.
 When she receipts an order to do up Christmas gifts for some one of her wealthy friends, she wraps them first in fresh tissue paper then in heavy white paper. finishing them off with red and green ribbon. card bearing Christmas greetings or a tiny spray of holly. Sometimes she uses green paper tied with red ribbon, and other times red paper tied with green ribbon In any event. she gives the gift an air of Christmas fes-

To me 1t is now so noticeable that I wonder every time when I see that other people do not seem to hear it. Of course. you can get used to anything, but when I do find a woman now whose speech is of the low, full-voiced kind you hear in Eu- rope, 1t acts like a positive rest for the ear. They say.

tivity which the maker of many gifts may not have time to secure.
 For instance. among her patrons is . woman who is greatly interested in the
 working girls movement, and she sends out
 some fifty gifts to working girls alone. the wrapping and directing of which she en- trusts to the holiday wrapper and shopper. Naturally this girl wants to start upon
 wrapping as early as she can. and where her patron has a long list she divides them into three or four shipments. starting with those which go abroad. and following with presents intended for the Pacific coast. She knows just the length of time required for q parcel to be carried during the Christmas rush. She has mail and express ratesN at her finger tips She knows how to do up parcels so that they will carry with safety to themselves and satisfaction to the men who handle them route. Strings never burst nor boxes bulge when this young wo- man attends to the shipping. If most of the packages are 10 so by mail or express. she calls for them with a hanson. and car- ries them in person to the postoffce and the express office. and for messenger delivery on Chrtstmps Eve or Christmas morning, she has regular staff of boys upon whom she can depend for this work Her charges vary. Of course. according to the amount of work to be done. but 1t Is not an unusual thing for woman of wealth to hand her a S20 gold piece when the task Is completed.
 Her business grew from . very small start. simply because one rich woman told another of her capabilities, which were su. perior in this particular direction to those of the most accomplished maid. or even an ordinarily good secretary. But the greatest increase in her income arises from her shop ping for helpless men. bewiliered husbands willing but terrified bachelor uncles and even young men who lack the assurance to buy for their fiances. A man may know exactly what he wants, he may be the in- spiration behind a gift we'll its finan- cial packer. but far be 1t from him to trust to his somewhat limited knowledge of stores and values.
 The young woman makes her commission from the store and not from the man who gives her the order. Occasionally she does Christmas shopping for women, but she says that this is not profitable field. large ly because the average woman thinks that she Is herself an exceptionally good shopper. and Is never entirely satisfied when the work is done for her.
 The girl who intends to take up this line of work must be tactful well skilful. in wrapping and shopping. If ever there is time when femininty waxes hysterical it is at Christmas time If a woman is ut terly impossible from a business point of view-that is. if she won't get her presents ready to ship within a reasonable time the wrapper and shopper should not under take the work. There are some women who want a wrapper to come half a dozen times and this eats up all the profit of the enter prise, but the average woman of wealth is as systematic about her Christmas giving she is with her calling list.
