THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

Two weeks from today the holidays
will eliminate in the day of the year
when the good cheer. the love and
goodness of humanity find their best
expression in remembrance and deeds
of kindness, in giving and receiving
gifts and in thought of those who have
too little of humanity's kindness
thrown around them.
Even thus early the spirit of the sea-
son is finding an outlet in preparation
and anticipation, in search for the best,
most appropriate gifts to the dear ones
This revival of thoughtfulness is one
of the benefcent traditions of the
Christmas holiday. because there is too
little of it in the lives of most men and
women, too much of thoughtlessness
and disregard of the needs and affec-
tons of those about us.
Life is so exacting, so full of Ie-
mands, that mankind is prone to for
get the joy of kindness and the value of
good deeds. Men take 1t for granted
that those they love know it without
any outward show, they overlook the
very human desire to have a visible
proof of the inward emotion, and they
miss one of the best pleasures of life
the giving of pleasure 70 others.
Kind words to the living are better
than flowers for the dead, and the
| simplest manifestation of affection fol-
those about you is worth more thar
the deepest love for them represset
and hidden. Nor is this less true o.
men and women than it is of children
The little ones enjoy a gift for its pos
session, but men and women appre
ciate 1t more for the spirit behind i
than for the gift itself
Possibly these are platitudes, old a
mankind and trite in form; but never
theless they are worth recalling
Christmas approaches. If you hav
thought to wait until the last day an
then do your Christmas giving in per
functory way as an unavoidable obi
cation. change your system Tor ono
and see how much you can get out
blaming from your heart days aheaC
, Think Of the remembrance each of you
own would ike best, and if you ca
afford it. get it. Make the giving
ceremony of love and see how muc
you have been missing in the year
. past. Then recall those who have n
! Christmas hope, who can afford moth
ing for themselves or others, and tr
. an investment for them.
Il Cultivate the Christmas spirit an
get into the game. It's worth while.

Jurisdiction of the state over church

While the cabled advices are neces-

Catholic. and with all the tenacity
which accompanies sincere religious

other, the deadlock has possibilities OF
civil war and revolution.
Since the days of the first Napoleon
and the concordat of 1901, the French
government has steadily, though slow
". forced back the limits of church au-
thority and power. The great revolu-
ton was followed by confiscation OF

of the government has been intensified

and a Half Hours, Is Not Sure of It's Latitude
and Longitude Battle of the Book Companies

After two hour and twenty minute
extensive session by the board of ed
ucation last evening. the geography
question is in a worse tangle than be-
fore.
The board last evening was suppos-
ed to come to decision as to what
geography was to be used by the ward
schools
After the city had been swarmed
Tor weeks by book agents and the
boaNe had held several meetings to
decide the question. Member Anderson
at the last meeting moved that

commended by Superintendent Baxter,
be used in the grades. The motion
was laid on the table until last nights
meeting After much debate and quiD-
bling, Member March introduced an
amendment to Anderson's motion,

merits of the various publications be
determined by actual experience. The
amendment was adopted unanimously
and the resolution with the amended
motion was also carried unanimously.
Thus the situation which up to last
nights meeting was a question involv-
ing the selection of a geography from
only two rival firms has become ono
which allows the introduction of any
other geography, as determined by the
board with the assistance of Superin-

Hollow Concrete Blocks.

A recent farmers bulletin says:
Among the advantages claimed for
hollow concrete block construction
may be mentioned the following:
Hollow block construction intro
duces saving of material over brick
or stone masonry
The cost of laying concrete blocks
Is less than for brickwork. This Is
due to the fact that the blocks, be-
ing larger, require a much smaller
number of joints and less mortar,
and. being hollow, are less weight
than solid brickwork.
A wall constructed of good con-
crete blocks Is as strong or stronger
than a brick wall of equal thickness.
Concrete blocks, being easily
nodded to any desired form. will
prove to be far more economical
building material than stone, which
has to be dressed to shape
Experience has proved concrete to
be most excellent fire resisting ma
terial.
Concrete blocks, being hollow,
tend to prevent sudden changes of
temperature within a house, making
1t cool in summer and easily heated
in winter.
The hollow spaces provide an easy
means for running pipes and cleo
trio wires These spaces may also
be used wholly or in part for heat
ing and ventilating fiues.

SUDDEN DEATH
When Mrs. Miller Went to Call Her
Son She Found Him Dead
in Bed.

Edward Miller, of 815 High street,
was found dead in bed this morning
by his mother.
When he did not arise at his usual
time, his mother who has been keep
ing house for him, went to his room
and not getting any reply opened the
door and found him dead She at
once called for assistance, but Mr.. Mil
Ter had evidently been dead for some
time as the body was already cold
The cause of death was a leakage of
the heart from which he had been suf-
fering for. some time.
Mr.. Miller had been an employe of
the Berger company for about ten
years, but was obliged to give up his
work about six weeks ago. His ill
ness was not thought to be serious,
and Sunday afternoon he was able to
go to st. Peters cemetery to place
some flowers on the grave of his wife
who died about a year ago.
Mr.. Miller was 80 years of age and
had lived in Canton practically all his
life. Besides his mother, Mrs. Paul
ina Miller, he leaves one sister, Mrs
Julius Bowman, and two small chill
dren, Julius, aged three years and
Catherine, seven years.
He was member of st. Peters
church, where the funeral will take
place at $50 Wednesday morning.

Justice to steubenyilIe.

In the report Of the Eisteddfod
recently held in this city, it was stated
that the Steubenville singers marred
the occasion by their disorderly con-
duct. The matter has been thorough
ly investigated and it was ascertained
that the Steubenville delegation was
not responsible for. the disorder, and
in justification to the Steubenville peo-
pie, who are of the best element of
their community, this statement is
given.
