Spectacular Individual Who Intro

His Town.

7 reckon when the lamentations are
ever and we come 10 our own, youl
hear something more about Joe TooIe,
who had a landslide Of his own, all by
himself, out in Montana, said man
in from Butte, to a New York Sun man,
Joe was always a winner. He came by
it honestly.
He was one Of three as likely boys as
ever went west His father was big
gun IN his day, and when he was can
didate for justice of the peace in his
town his three boys, Joe. Bruce and Ben,
the handsomest trio that ever hit the
pike, went out and held meetings on the
vacant lots of the town and made
speeches for their dad.
THE old man didn't have to do a
thing but stay at home. The boys went
to the polls on election day, and when
ever a voter showed UP they preached
the Toole gospel until the voter was
landed Whenever there was another
candidate on the hastings and he saw
to his heels.
Besides their political influence, the
TooIe boys were the great social cards
in the town where they lived. They

wait until after dark to put on a spike

for that sort Of harness.
He was a law student in the town
where he lived, and he used to wear his
society toys by day. He used to be called
Apollo Belyedere Toole by the men in
the town who knew what that meant,
and the people who didn't know took
it for granted that it was all right.
The brothers Toole were members
Of a literary society in the town. The
society used to have ladies' nights once
a month No fashion plate was. ever in
it with the turnouts seen at the old
Philomathean society on ladies' nights.

room, each one in his elaWhammer coat.
the audience rose from the benches and
stood until the trio were seated. Joe
Toole was always selected as the chief
orator of the evening, and when he
went to the forum it was sight worth
seeing.

family left the town where they had
been the political and social rage for SO
many years and went west. overland.
Joe landed in Montana. This is the third
time he has. been elected governor. He
has never been defeated, to my knoWl-
edge.
You never can tell what's going to
happen, but l am telling you that in
1908 if Joe Toole wants to get in the
game he will cry keno before anybody
else. In the eataclysm which recently
made a record in this country it may
have been overlooked that Joe Too1e is

ROMANCE OF SUmATRA LEAF

The story Of sumatra leaf tobacco.

necticut, is one Of the romantic cpl
sodes OF. agriculture, says a writer in
Country Life in America. A Florida
fruit grower had some tobacco plants
that got into his pineapple shed By ac-
eident, and he noticed that they were
taller and Of finer texture, under the
lath shade. The bureau of soils, while
surveying the Connecticut valley,
found soil that was practically the
same as that of Sumatra, on which
the famous tobacco is grown. eThe
bureau has samples Of soil from al
most every important agricultural re
gion of the world.) The government
got an expert to start an industry,
and the first two years some of the
growers made over 1ae per cent. profit.

For such garments as the saut-de-

is the only trimming required. The
smart woman at the moment loves
these washing satins, especially for
night-gowns. Silk, satin and finest
linens are sparingly trimmed with
lace-in many cases, indeed, no lace
at all is used, the trimming taking
the shape Of fine hand work and
broad hemstitchings. There has been
an extraordinary change made of late

simple, and white reigns supreme.
Parisians and the best-dressed Eng

stitchery is the chief trimming,

old-fashioned red flannel garment
worn by our grandmothers, being to-

fine embroidery or coarse Iorchon

RI HE fact that Christmas. the annIver-
J. sary of the birth of Christ, is cele-
brated is not enough. One may share
in all the activities and pleasures OF
the day, and still be an inmate of the
inn, and a stranger to the true signif-
canoe of the birth in the stable. One
may hear the wonderful Divine mystery
whereby the Son of God left Heaven and
became flesh through the operation OF
the Holy Spirit, and still be blind to the
Divine light that filed the stable re-
cesses. Think you not that the inn was
astir next day with the news Of the
events which had transpired in the
stable? Think you not that every one
was talking of the Babe in the manger,
OF the story Of the shepherds and their
visit in the early morning? Ere the
mornings sun had climbed the Beth
lehem hills and gilded the distant noun
tain heights with its golden splendor,
| feel sure that the mighty secret OF that
stable became known not only to all in
the inn, but to all in the little village
OF Bethlehem. And so to-day the story
OF the birth Of the Christ is known and
rehearsed among men, they celebrate
the event with eageTness and JOY, and
still the Christ is absent, kept out By
the crowded condition CT the inn. The
news Of the birth Of Jesus has reached
the inn and it freely joins IN the ceIe-
bration Of the event, but the stable
where room is found for Jesus is the
place where the true celebration is held
You may be content with the festivities
of the inn, and never care to enter into
the deeper joys Of the stable where
Jesus is. As of old, it is the question
of the stable or the inn. Where are van
content to celebrate the Christmas fes-
tival? verify believe the saddest dav

A large part OF the world to-day has
its Christmas, but has it the Christ?
It celebrates the GROWING event Of the
ages, but does it appreciate all that
that celebration should mean2 Is it
the stable where the Christ has been
given place and weIeome2 or is it the
inn crowded, and busy, and resting in
ease and comfort with no place or
provision made for the Christ? Our
text suggests contrasts so sharp and

on. The stable and the inn. The one
for the beast, the other for man.
The one poor and cherries and com
fortress, the other fitted at least with
which could minister to the needs of
ran. The one the only place where
the Son of God could find shelter, the
other the place which was SO crowded
ana filled that it shut cut the Christ.
DUT there is brighter side to the
u contrast. The stable, though poor
and bare of comforts, shone with the
holy light of Cod presence, and well
coined the newborn King to the best
il could provide, while the inn had
only the feeble light OF mans pro-
viding and missed the glory of the Di-
vine presence The stable became
l3arlzed on the chart of Gods pur-
poses, whila the inn was indeIibly
stamped with the stigma of inhospital-
ily. The stable became the center of
Interest for the angelic hosts as they
sang of the Saviour born. and told the
wondering shepherds where the Babe
was to be found, while the inn passes
into the obseurity of oblivion. The
stable passes down into history glori-
fed and dignified by the distinction of
being the birthplace of the Lord and
King, while the inn has no place Of
honor on history's page, but stands out
as the monument of missed opportu-
n.ty, in having turned the expeetant
mother from its unfeeling doorway.
Such were the contrasts upon that first
Christmas night. Do the same cen
trasts exist to-day? Have we still the
stable and the inn-the place that
makes room for the Saviour, and the
place that crowds Him OUT Every
where to-day we hear the song of the
angels caught up by man, we see the
