Rush OF XMAS HAS
SET IN WITH VIM
Merchants Have a Splendid
Trade.
THERE'S q BUSY r4RoNc DAILY
Crowding the Stores and this Wi l
Increase Daily as the s@o.ldsy 40
proaches-susiness Exp cted to Be
the Best 81 Many Years.

The superb weather of the past two
weeks has already started the season
of holiday shopping in Americas, and
each day now the handsome stores
here-that is, the advertising Ones-are
filled with shoppers either buying or
having put aside what they desire.
And Americas merchants are already
upon the eve of the most profitable
holiday trade in years
They have brought out the goods
superb lines of every kind; a season of
prosperity is upon the country, and the
people are going to purchase as liber-
ally this season, or more so, than here
tofore. Americas merchants have evil
dence of this glad fact already.
One of these stated day or two
since that he had already put aside
more than $4,000 worth of holiday
gifts-to be called for later.
And this is true of the other dealers
here in the same line
The ''cottonjcaI days" have passed to
an extent; the crop here has been sold
at a good price, ten to eleven cents,
people have money to spend for holt
day gifts, either necessities or Iuxuries,
and the dollarcaI tide is lowing.
One thing that should greatly en-
courage early buying this year, and
which is no doubt having it's effect in
bringing out the holiday crowd, is the
beautiful weather. There is no tell
ing just how long this ideal weather is
going to last,
Ifpeople would only stop to cOnsid-
er, greal deal of the annoying rush
and crush of the last days before Christ
mas would be saved, and both tho Gus
toners and the salespeople would have
an easier time. There is every advant-
age IN buying early.
No matter how large d stock merch-
ant has, it is necessarily broken to
some extent by the last of the holiday
shopping season.

Here is turtle story from Jefrer-
son County, Ohio:-''In 1870 j. M.
Smith of Viroqua, Wis, visited his
brother, George, of Salt Creek. One
day while taking walk in company
with his brother he found tortoise and
or it carved his name and the date,
Aug. 1870" In 1884, just fourteen
years after, George found his same tor
toise and likewise inscribed his name
and date. Again in 1897 he picked it up
and marked it with name and date. A
few days ago he found it again and
marked it as at other times. 1t has been
thirty years since Mr.. Smith first saw
the turtle, but unlike other earthly crea-
lures it appears as young as when he
first saw it and it is surmised it was
old when he found it thirty-six years
ago. At no time was it found more than
two hundred yards from the spot where

human than the country is.

Chancellor Magie's reasons for voting
in the Court of Pardons against the pa
role of Libbie Garrabrant are sound in
logic and sound in common sense, and he
skaters the fimsy logic of the argument
born of unreasoning sentiment that was
urged in favor of the woman's release,
and which prevailed with the majority or
the court, says the Newark daily ADJ
vertiser."
There has never been any convention
that the woman did not commit wilful
deliberate murder, nor that she was un-
justly convicted, and the evidence con-
victing her Of crime for which the law
prescribes the penalty of death, the
Chancellor points out, must have been
overpowering. The Court of Pardons
shortly afterward. moved by considera-
tions of her youth, commuted the ueath
sentence to Imprisonment for the term of
her natural life. After that, in the alb
sence of new evidence, the court had no
power to exercise further leniency. As
the Chancellor tersely puts it, "the PEN
atty of death on the scaffold was changed
to death in confinement by the commr-
tation of sentence.
This while question is summed up in
the closing paragraph of the document
filed with the court by the distinguished
jurist: 'sThe administration of the crlIn-
inal law, to be effective as a deterrent
from crime, must insure. so far as rea-
sonably possible. certainty of punish
ment. That certainty is not attained
when commuted sentence of this sort
is changed without satisfactory grounds.
Many persons are seeking to amehorate
The criminal law by removing therefrom
the penalty of death. That purpose will
never be attained, in my Judgment. in
New Jersey if the people are unable to
rely upon sentence for life being ire
vocable. except upon some grounds justi-
