The COMPANION as a Christmas Cift.

Can you think of gift more certain
to be acceptable than a years subscrip-
tion to The Youths Companion? Is
there any one, young or old, who, hav-
ing once had the paper in his hands
and looked through it, did not wish to
possess it for his very own? 1t is a
gift which, far from losing its freshness
as Christmas recedes into the past,
grows more delightful, more neces-
sary to ones enjoyment week by
week.
The boy likes it, for it reflects in its
pages every boyish taste and every fine
boyish aspiration. The father likes it,
not only for its fiction but for its fund
of information of the practical sort.
The girl likes it for the stories, anec-
dotes, sketches and editorial articles
printed in each number especially for
her. The mother likes it for its stories
of domestic life and family affection,
for its children's page and for its medi-
cal articles.
On receipt of $l.75, the yearly
subscription price, the publishers send
to the new subscriber all the re-
naming issues of The Companion
for 1905 and the "Minutemen" Calendar
for 1906, autographed in twelve colors
and gold.

Fashionable Embroidery.

That the use of embroidery in their
dress has become craze among fashion
able women was most notable at the
horse show. Perhaps the smartest hat
there was an embroidered creation. 1t
was black satin hat with tonch OF
pale blue and CLINT of gold in its trim
ming. But the new touch was the
exquisite embroidery which trimmed
tho crown and the faring brim. This
was not appliqued embroidery, but was
worked with silk and gold threads right
on the satin. The design was of con.
ventional flow ers of pale blue and faint
pink, and the leaves were worked in
green and gold threads.
Many embroidered woistcoats were
also seen at the horse show. Those in
the loose, straight front effect were the
newest. They were made of kid, satin,
silk or velvet and the embroidery was
extremely elaborate. Grace Margaret

The railroad situation in upper East
Tennessee is getting decidedly inter-
esting. 1t appears certain that the s.
& w. railroad, now controlled by the
Garter syndicate, will build through
Greene county. The route agreed on,
if we are to credit current reports, will
be from Kingsport to Fall Branch,
thence to Jerroldstown, thence to New
Evansville or some point in that vicin-
ity, and thence crossing the ridge in
that part OF the county known as the
Quaker Knobs, crossing the Southern
Railway about a mile west of Lime
stone and near where the coal chute is
situated, by way of bridge to be built
over that road, thence crossing Lime
stone creek and the Chuckey river to
Embreevllle. This route will be in
Greene county for nearly twenty miles,
but will not help Greeneville unless
something is done to save the trade in
that part of the county and to increase
the trade and give additional manu-
featuring facilities by securing con-
nection with the proposed line.

IOye-Making by the Boss.

The human side of Bossism is fairly
realized in "The Courtship of the
Boss" by Annie O'Hagan in the
December McClure's. Mayor Hen
nessey sets about the getting Of his
second wife with the same easy conf
denee and much the same methods he
might have brought to the stealing Of
the city's gas-plant. There is vast en-,
tertainment in the tale of his wooing,
but the lady leads him to his first de-
feat. Anne O'Hagan knows her types.

Counties Fail TO Report.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 4. 4.-Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Mynders
has written sharp letter to superin-
tendents of counties due to share the
benefits of the Toilet act who have not
yet reported. The act provides for the
distribution of $4,000 among counties
levying 25 cents for school purposes iu
addition to the States levy, the pro
rata being to extend the school terms
in weak districts to six months. The
counties which have made reports and
which are entitled to a share in the
fund are: Greene, Houston, Weakley,
Cumberland, Madison, Polk, Camp
bell, Scott, Anderson, Loudon, Sewer,
Sequatchie, Henry, Hardin, Unicoi,
Rhea and Obion.
The following counties are entitled
to share in the distribution of this
fund but none of them have made the
necessary reports Pickett, Hancock,

The State board of education will
meet within the next two weeks and
make this distribution. Unless the
proper reports are made counties of the
delinquent superintendents will be left

The DelineatOr for December

For colUwork, presswork and gen.
eral beauty and usefulness. the Decem-
Der Delinestor is conspicuous among
the Christmas magazines. Eight
paintings by J. G. Leyendecker, illus
trating and interpreting the Twenty
third Psalm, is the most extensive
color feature of the number, but o
painting by Alphonse Mucho, accom-
panying a poem, "The Mother of
Bartimeus," by Theodosia Garrison, is
fully as notable as an art work. The
short fiction of the number comprises
stories by Hamlin Garland, John
John Luther Long, Gilbert Parker
and Alice Brown. The opening chap
ters of new serial-a woman's club
story-"The President of Quex," are
given; it is said to be in the nature of
reply to "The Evolution of a Club
Woman" which created great interest
in the magazine last year. There is

Tennessee's New Senator.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 4.-Senator
Frazier was sworn in at 1915 o'clock
today. AS Senator Carmack hns been
detained in Tennessee, Senator Frazier
was escorted to the Vice Presidents
desk by Senator German. Senator
Warner of Missouri was sworn in at
the same time.
Vice President Fairbanks admins
tered the oath in clear voice, and the
tall, well-dressed Junior Senator from
Tennessee was the cynosure of all eyes
as he took the oath, the galleries being
crowded with handsomely dressed
ladies and gentlemen and most of the
Senators being in their seats. 1t was
generally remarked in the correspon-
dents corner that Mr.. Frazier is the
tallest. man in the Senate, his height
being equal, if not greater, than that
of Vice. President Fairbanks.

Where Votes Come From.

Although the forty-one counties of
Middle Tennessee will have within
fifty-five of enough delegates 10 control
the next State convention of the DEM
ocratic party, they have no candidate
in the Gubernatorial handicap. OF the
four candidates for Governor within
the field until the withdrawal of M.
B. Norheet a few days ago, three of
them came from West Tennessee and
the other from East Tennessee. OF
the three now on the track two are
from West and one from East
Tennessee.
There will be approximately 1926
votes in the next State convention on
the basis Of one vote for every 100 cast
for the Presidential nominees ID the
last election. 1t is pretty safe to as
sumo that this rule, which has been
adhered to with one exception in every
convention for the last twenty years,
will be adopted. The exception men
toned was in the convention of 1896,
when, in order to give the silver dele
gates from the three country counties
of the Tenth Congressional District a
majority over the gold delegates Shelby
County, the Gubernatorial vote of 1894
was made the basis of representation.
Of the 1925 delegates in the next
convention, the thirty-four counties Of
East Tennessee will have 2S4; the
twenty one counties of West Tennessee
43S, and the forty-one counties of Mid
die Tennessee 613. A majority of the
convention will be 6GS. The success
full candidate must receive this num-
Der. Should candidate enter the
convention with the solid support of
East Tennessee it would be necessary
for him to get 1884 votes from the other
sections OF the State. A candidate hav-
ing the solid support of West Tennes-
zee would be 230 votes short of the
requisite number. Assuming, for the
sake of argument, that the two West
Tennessee candidates divide the vote
of that section equally, each will have
219 votes. Supposing that the East
Tennessee candidate gets all the votes
Of his section he will have 2S4 votes.
In order for either of the candidates to
attain the nomination they would have
to secure considerably more than a
majority Of the votes Of the middle
division of the State.
These facts make the Middle Divi-
sion of the State the great battle-ground
in the pending fight. 1t is rather un.
usual in political fights that the section
having practically the power of the
other two sections combined should be
the battle-ground of the candidates, all
of whom come from the rival divisions.
This, however, is exactly the case in
the present campaign. The vote Of
two of any number of counties in either
section added to the Middle Tennessee
vote would control the convention.
The vote of Shelby County alone would
be sufficient for this purpose with SO tc
spare. Nashville American.
