Keen Your ohildren's Faith.

What a fool. what blind, stu
pid fool woman is who doesn't
keep her children believing in her
Why, I'D rather see the faith and
trust in one little, round face that
| know than to be called the most
beautiful and the most youthful
looking woman in all the world.
No woman can make q friend
that can be to her what child of
her own can hardly help being, if
she's only half a woman.
Why, see what they 90 through
together, the mother and the boy
who looks up to her with such faith
and admiration. They face illness
aud disappointment and disillusion
together-the mother and the little
boy and every illness and every
disappointment and every disillu-
sion, instead of separating them,
is just one thread more in the splen-
did chain that binds them so close
that no human hands can ever sep
arate them.
A woman who is ashamed of her
children or bothered with them
woman who finds her boy a bore
and her little girl nuisance-is a
poor, heartless, mindless creature,
who doesn't even know the first
conjugation of the verb ito live
What would you think of a man
who grew so tired of the RESPONSE
bility of walking that he had his
feet cut off so that he could sit in
and invalid's chair and be rolled
around the world the rest of his
lifel What would you think of a
woman who put out her own eyes
to get rid of the bother of readings
You'd shut shuch people as that
up in an asylum for the feeble
minded, wouldn't you.
Well, that's what ought to be
done with woman who is silly
enough to be ashamed of her own
children.

New York's Sunday Lost Some of It's
Indigo Tint.

New York. Dec. - With policeman
as monitors prepared to stop any per-
Torrance that exceeded the bounds Of
the sacred or educational, " the Sun
day amusement promoters generally
resumed business to-day. With few
exceptions, the entertainments were
such as had been given before Justice
O'Gorman's strict Interpretation Of
the Sunday closing law interfered,
land, after two "blue" Sundays, re-
shifted IN the adoption by the Alder
men of more liberal ordinance. The
exceptions were the moving picture
shows of the East Side, which were
not allowed to open. though the pro-
prietors OF some promised to picture
only biblical scenes. The peep shows
of the penny arcades, however, were
held permissible, line of easy dis
tinction being drawn between views
that moved and those that stood still.
The theaters, opera houses aud the
higher class OF music halls continued
closed as before. Vaudeville houses
confined their programmes to sketch
es, monologues, stereopticon exhibit
tion and singing. The only departure
of consequence from the week presen-
tation was that stage cuisines" was
eliminated. Costumes, scene shifting
and "make-ups" were barred. Dancing
was also prohibited on the stage, but
for those who would dance for their
own entertainment the dancing acade-
mics were open. Skating Kinks, too,
were again in full swing.
The police were embarrassed at times
in determining just what was or was
not sacred or educational, particu-
larly in the case of the Chinese and
Yiddish theaters, but the freedom
from arrests of the day convinced
police headquarters that the theatre
cal people generally had observed both
the spirit and the letter Of the law.

Mot her wants new silk waist,
New gloves, a morning gown;
A pair of slippers and hat,
A quilt of eiderdown.
Sister wants party dress,
An opera cloak and fan;
A pair of side combs for her hair,
A walking skirt of tan,
She'd like to get diamond ring,
A locket and chain,
A silver manicuring set,
A bag called chatelaine.
Brother wants another sled,
An engine run by steam;
He wants a Rugby football, for
He plays upon team.

A set of Optics books;
And he expects to get the all,
Quite plainly, from his looks.

Aunt Susan collar tops;

On top of this score of friends
That we must not forget,
Because they may remember US

SAYS 1T is FACT.
The Red Cross Pharmacy Confirm
Guarantee on Hyomei, Cure
for Catarrh.

IOT OdGdIIu.
The question having been raised as
to whether or no the Red Cross Phar-
macy will refund the money if Hyo-
mel outfit does not do all that is
claimed for it in curing catarrh, they
want to state positively that this
guarantee is an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the
curative powers of Hyomei in all ca
tarrhal troubles. You do not lose a
cent in testing its healing virtues, they
take all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this won
derful indicated air of Hyomei. 1t
does not drug or derange the stomach,
but is breathed through neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
so that It's medication reaches the
most remote air cells In the nose,
throat and lungs, where any catarrhal
germs may be lurking. 1t quickly de-
stroys them, heals and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane and vital
ICES the tissues so that catarrh is no
longer possible. You can lose moth
ing by giving Hyomei trial, nothing
but the catarrh and that is a good
radiance.
The price uf the complete outfit is
but sl.00; nothing If 1t fails to cure.
Get an outfit from the Red Cross Phar-
macy to-day and begin its use at once.

Further progress appears in the effort
to place credit upon a satisfactory basis
and the banking conditions reject distinct
advance toward resumption ot cash pay
ments. Encouraging replies from the in
terror indicate a general desire to ac'
early in restoring the normal S1atus, and
with this favorable tendency spreading
the monetary outlook assumes an encour'
aging aspect.
Trade conditions reflect no notable de-
Pelopment, but the tone is better, and
with the necessary adaptation to events II
is expected that improving demand viii
come in due course.
Liquidation in securities and commodi
ties is not yet at the point of exhaustion
but this is not any longer disturbing
factor, and there are increasing currency
shipments to move crops and provisions
and more renewal of loans upon satisfac'
tory evidence of solvency. Defaults thus
far have not reached distressing proper
lions, nor has the stoppage OF machinery
md reduction of workmen been as great
relatively as was feared.
Although the business indications maJ
De regarded as improving, there is yet q
very conservative feeling extant. New
enterprises and consequent increase of Oh
tigatieas are given little consideration
and contracts made at this time are con-
fined TO absolute requirements.
Colder weather would stimulate a more
active movement of seasonaIe goods IN

which it cannot. If your brother acts
unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair

that it cannot be borne, but rather by
the opposite that he is your brother,
that he was brought up with you, and

WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT.
The Situation as Regards the Panama
Canal Contract.

The following statement was made public
at the White House last night by Secretary
Loeb:
Reports in the papers seem to Indicate
belief that the canal contract has been
conditionally awarded to Mr.. Oliver This
is not so. No decision has been made even
that the contract will be awarded to any of
the bidders. Mr.. divers bid was so hope
lessly defective that it could not be even
considered, and time was given him to COM
plete it In shape that will unable it to re-
ceive consideration. If it is put into such
shape it will be considered together with
the bid already made by the Gillespie Nc
Arthur conlbina ton, which may itself be
altered, and then whichever bid, after the
most careful examination, seems most ad-
vantageous may be taken, or both bids re-
Jected and the canal be constructed under
In such case the government would where
ever 1t chose use contractors simply as
agents. -
'The real object In contracting the work
Is to have assembled large number of the
best specialists in each class of work, and
the prime consideration will be the ability
and fitness shown in variety of directions
by the men making the bid. The President
and the commission would not even con-
slider bid of merely one or two men The
work is already going WE'LL Over half a
million cubic feet were taken out of the
Culebra In January, and the amount being
taken out is steadily increasing
