Il Roosevelt Hospital Threatened.
The rooms of the Roosevelt hospital,
some distance away, were lighted as If
by daylight. There was great alarm
among patients and attendants. Such
crowds rushed out of the tenement
houses near the fire that the police
were called out to handle them.
A Fight for Life.
At the height of the fire the thou
sands of spectators momentarily forgot
the burning building in watching a
struggle in the upper window of ten
ement house on Fifth-eighth street. A
rsnan started to climb over the window
.Glill, preparing to drop to the street, in
ii lis night clothes.
Another man reached out to save
5 him and the two fought in the window
above the sidewalk while the crowd
below cleared semi-circle.
A blanket was stretched directly un.
der the window. It was not needed
however, for the half crazed man was
drawn back by main strength.
Santa Claus Is Delayed.
The sun had risen before the last OF
the Christmas trees were carried back
into the tenement houses and the dan
ger was entirely over. One fireman
was injured during the progress of the
blaze. =.

Many English girls believe thatsthey

months unless they have at least one
kiss under the mistletoe. In many
counties a berry is plucked from the
mistletoe with each kiss. and when
there are no berries no kisses are al
lowed. Mistletoe use to be consider
ed a charm or amulet to ward off the
baleful influence of witches. 1t was
also considered that its Influence was
irresistible. that no one could possibly

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY LIES.

The Macon Telegraph rs still eX-
planning Judge Parker's 'defeat, and
in discussing the statement made by
Chairman Taggart at the Jefferson
banquet in Fayetteville, Indiana, that
it was so overwhelming because of the
revolt of million democrats says:
SIT seems to us, therefore, that
the million or more of democrats
who went into a revolt acted
largely on the objections to the
eastern leaders-tO the candidate
or that they were actuated by re-
yenge for the smaller revolt
against Bryan in l896rand 1900"
Chairman Taggart said as much
himself, and that both of the causes
mentioned by our contemporary con-
tributed largely toward bringing
about the disaster has been known to
the whole country since the fateful day
in November But it is not for those
with whom the Telegraph trains in
national politics to criticise and lect-
ure democrats who refused to vote
for Judge Parker and what he repre-
scented, for many of them set the exam
pie themselves by boiling the party
four years ago and voting for McKin-
lev and Roosevelt. Until these holier
thou fellows who arrogated unto them
selves all of the wisdom, patriotism
and honesty in the party knitted the
chosen candidate there was
no division in the democratic ranks,
and at every election the republicans
found opposed to them live, united
and strong force. If they have been
given some of their own medicine they
cannot complain. Upon them is the
for the pitiable spectacle
the once great democratic party pre-
sents today.
