OUR MISTAKE

In last weeks issue Of the RECORD
under the heading Beckham did not
explain. we said the tax rate was 50
cents under the Bradley administration
and q cents was added TO pay a debt
contracted by the Democratic admins
tration prior TO the Bradley admintra-
ton, but we find from re-eSamination
Of the acts that the tax rate under the
Bradley administration for correct ex.
penses was only 42i cents and ten
cents raise on that TO pay a Democratic
deot and the tax rate under the reve.
nue. law passed by the Republican nd.
ministration was to drop back in thres
years to i7i cents and remain at az
cents, Il was believed by the Repubh.
can ADMINISTRATION that l2i cents wa,
sufficient TO raise enough revenue 4

fact the Republican administration ont

BATTLES WITH A HAT PIN.
Chicago Girl Fights Robbers and Saves
$4,000.

4OUOU.
Battling with a hat pin against five
highwaymen who attacked her in
broad daylight on a crowded street,
Miss May Gates, cashier in a Chicago
confectionery company, held her as
sailants at bay until the police came
to her rescue Her resistance saved
her employers $4,000, which she was
bringing from the bank to meet the
company's payroll.
Miss Gates left the bank at noon,
took a street car to within a block
of the, company's Office and was al
most in the doorway when the five
robbers, masked and armed, attacked
and dragged her into an alley, strug-
Cling to wrest from her the handbag
in which she carried the money. By
ISLANDERS rushed to the young woman's
rescue. but the highwaymen drew their
revolvers and fought so desperately
that they were not only defying them
completely but seemed in fair way to
overpower Miss Gates.
Attracted to the spot by the commo-
ton, a half dozen bluecoats and de-
tectives at last entered the fight.
After 20 or 80 shots had been ex-
changed, the robbers attempted to es-
cape on a passing street car. Three
of them eluded the officers. Two, who
gave the names Of Harry Farnum and
Harry Baller, were arrested.

Most of us know that the Christmas
tree comes to us direct from Germany.
And we know of the tree worship of the
Druids which obtained in England and
France, and which probably had some in
fluence on the later use of the tree in the
Christian festival. But we do not all
know that a similar festival with the tree
as a browning feature is observed among
many heather nations, and that it comes
from sun worship, which is older than his
tory. The revival of the sun after the
winter solstice has ever been the subject
of rejoicing and of celebration by cere-
monies which represent the new light
brought back to the world. Our tree,
with its small candles, it's gilded knick-
nacks and toys for the children, is a d.
rect descendant of this old festival in
honor of the sun.
Traces of it exist in Iceland, where the
service tree" is found adorned with burn
ing lights during Christmas night. The
English yule log is faint survival of this
festival. But it is beyond these that 1
wish to draw your attention, back further
even than the Druid mysteries of the Gal
lie forests. It is to China, that home of
all wonders and of all history. 1t has
been shown that as long ago as 247 B. G..
tree with hundred lamps and flowers
was placed on the steps of the audience
hall. This appears again in the records
of Princess Yang, who lived 713-755 A.
D.. and who caused a hundred-iamp tree

There was slight stir. The mother
and father felt a culver pass through the
little form. With startled faces they bent
over her. There was a gasp, sudden

The clock struck twelve. A New Year

In the twilight Of summer day man
and woman stand beside a little grave.
There is an air of subdued sadness about
them that tells to whom the little mound
belongs and yet when they speak 1t is
hopefully and cheerfully. 1t is tiny
grave-"only baby" a stranger would
sav-but we who have stood beside such
know that love and grief are not measured
by feet and inches.
