HAD HEAVY FALL.

Reuben Mcdowell, a former resi-
dent of Cheesequakes, but % of
this borough, was working on a new
building at Cheesequakes yesterday
and was about to go from the roof to
the ground when on stepping on the
top rung of the ladder the foot of the
ladder slipped out and the ladder
went down, throwing him down to
the ground. where he landed on his
kneecap and sprained it. They
brought him from Cheesequakes in
a wagon to his brothers in Borden
town avenue, where DR.. Haines was
called and attended him. Mcdowell
thought at first that his leg was
broken, but the doctor pronounced it
a sprain and says that a sprain is
worse than a break and he will not
be able to get around for some time.
Reuben is a gunner and this will
spoil the sport for the balance of the
season for him.

HER RULE OF XMAS GIFTS
Painstaking Aunt Has a System of
Her Own byWhich She Distributes
Gifts to Her Relatives.

The right rule for a gift, according
70 Emerson, Is that it should be
thing which will convey to some per-
son that which properly belongs to his
character, and is easily associated
with him in thought"
There are few people indeed who
do not at least try to consider the
particular taste and character of tho
friends to whom they give, says the
Youths Companion. But nee IN
awhile a ma~tter-of-fact person quite
fails to perceive that this is necessary
A good thing is a good thing, in the
eyes Of such a giver, and it may be
assumed that the recipient will there
fore like it, and be grateful, unless, in
deed, he happens to have it already,
which is the one possibility to be
dreaded.
There is a placid, painstaking, pro-
sale, but much beloved aged aunt to a
large flock of youthful nephews and
nieces whose system, based upon this
comfortably simple view, refuses 10
consider even the drawback of du-
plication. Every Christmas she makes
everything she gives, and her pres
ents are of two kinds: one for CIR S
and one for boys.
One year it may be penwipers for
the brothers and needlebooks for the
sisters, the next, muffiers for the one
and mittens for the other. These
articles she patiently and leisurely
produces for weeks beforehand. They
are always tasteful in tint and ex-
quisitely made, and are usually well
come.
An unfortunate schoolgirl whose
birthday in November had brought her
already two pairs of bed-shoes, in
what she had discovered to be Aunt
Elinira's bed-shoe year, tried to avoid
a third pair by a word in season COLI
veyeo d~iscreetly through a cousin.
Dear, dear!' murmured Aunt Ell
mira, softly, hating her knitting
needles for an instant. Both pairs
blue, did you say, child? must be
sure that my pair is pink. and-yes,
that is a very good idea-In knit
them a size or two larger, so she can
wear out the other first, and be quite
sure they will fit when she is ready
for them. Pink with a white finish
should be pretty
Very gently the cousin limited at
some other present. but Aunt Elmira's
head was shaken at once, a slight but
decisive shake.
mo. dear" she affirmed, TRANQUILITY,
two kinds of gifts are all I can make
in one year without feeling myself
worried and furried. Ruth will find
her bed.shoes just as ~serviceable and
Just as pretty a year or two later, il
she can't wear them now; 1t doesn't
matter. My mind was made up long
ago, my dear, that too many Christ
masses were spoiled by worrying"
Perhaps Ruth was not wholly crate
full for the pink shoes, and the system
may be questioned; but Aunt Elmira's
friends certainly find the spectacle o.
one person always unhurried, unwor
ried and unrufled, ever in the wild
weeks before Christmas. a soothing
and refreshing sight.

The work of making and driving

This marine yard is the outgrowth

fifth street in South Brooklyn about
ten years ago.
1t has been rumored about Totem
Vile for a long time that Mr.. Cossey
would build all kinds of wooden YES
sells. This report was denied by the
foreman in charge, who said that this
firm had never made anything but
wooden scows. These, he said, they
have constructed in great numbers,
and that the firm had acquired quite
a lame for itself in this line of work.
The yard has a frontage of about
500 feet and a depth of 500 feet, ex-
tending from the bulkhead, now be-
ing made, to the S.. l. r. T. railroad
tracks.
About $50 men, now employed in
