CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR BIRDS

There Is a charming custom in
Sweden of providing "a Christmas din
ner for the birds. Before sitting down
to the table indoors there is raised
sloft in the dooryard pole. 10 the
top OF which is attached large full
sheaf or basket OF grain-a Merry
Christmas" to the birds. writer in
one Of the Out-of-doOr magazines last
year told of how the same pretty idea
was put into effect here. A broad
shelf was placed outside of the win
dow and a small pine tree fastened
firmly upon it. In the earlier winter
bits Of suet were fastened to trees
about the house and chaff and hay
seed were scattered i'm the yard to en-
courage the birds to gather. Then
when it was almost Christmas the
birds tree was put up on the sill.
which was first covered with burlaps
to hold the chat that was scattered.
The birds. having been encouraged to
make this their rendezvous and base
of supplies. We're all ready to gather
the moment the Christmas tree. with
its unusually abundant fruitage, was
placed at their disposal.

lighting. electric Christmas lights in
all sorts of beautiful and fancifhI
shapes may be found reasonable in
price and supplanting the old-time
Christmas candles. Yet there Is
sentiment about the latter that the
more modern lighting lacks. With
candles. however. every precaution
should be taken against fire. Not a
Christmas passes without its record

overturning tree or of the sleeves or

readiness against a possible accident.
A rug or some sort OF heavy wooden
drapery should also be at hand for
use in an emergency.

purchased at any department or can

are harder If the syrup becomes too

In one home last year. where a
Christmas tree was not feasible. a
Christmas log took It's place and

laid upon a bed made Of MOSES and

A Mob at

Office
Women and Chill
dren Fighting

Frequently during the past
few days there has been much
excitement on Center street and
in the postoffice, all rushing
madly. each trying to get TO the
registry window first. Women
tramped over children and the
children tore each others dresses.
As the trouble has not ceased,
investigation has been made to
ascertain the cause of all this
fighting. So far no one has been
seriously hurt. No alarm has
been felt for a number Of men
who happened to be near took
charge of the crowd and placed
them in line.
The most startling discovery
made was the fact that the cause
of the trouble was the great
number of anxious people send
ing Donofrios CrystalliZed Cac-
tus Candy to their friends in the
east. This great crush Of busi-
ness at the postoffice is OF the
people who buy Of Donofrio the
famous Arizona candy novelty.

THE SHAH or PERSIA DEAD
Eldest Son Succeeds to the
Throne at TeheTaE.
The New Shah Was Born in 1872 and
is Literally Educated in
French and English.

Teheran, Persia. - Official an
-nouncement of the death of the Shah
was made from the Office of the grand
vizier. The news was received
quietly,
The heir apparent and the Minis
tiers were summoned. The women of
the palace also began preparations
for mourning.
Soon after sunset the doors of the
harem were closed. This was the
sign that all was yer.
MuZaffar-ed-Din. late Shah of Per-
STA, was born at Teheran March %,
1853, anc succeeded MS father, Nasr-
ed-Din, Of the death of the latter on
May 1, 1855. Muzaffar-ed-Din was
the second son of N~asr-ed-Din, but
had been appointed heir to the
throne. Previous 10 his accession he
was Governof-General of the Prov
ince Of Azorbaijan. his elder brother,
Masud-Mirza, being Governor of Tsp
ahan. Nasr-ed-Din was assassinated
in the mosque of Abdul Aim, near
Teheran. While Muzaffar-ed-Din as
cended the throne the same day, it
was not until June s following that
he was formally invested with sover-
eign power.
The late Shah visited Europe in
1900, and while in Paris an unsuc-
cessful attempt upon his life was
made by an anarchist. He again went
to Europe in 1902, visiting Germany,
England, France and Russia. In
1905 he made another European trip,
visiting the Car at st. Petersburg.
Long before that reports were cir
culated that the Shah was suffering
from melancholia. He had a fainting
spell owing to the heat while in
Paris July 6, 1905, and in February,
1905, 1t was reported that he had a
stroke of apoplexy. Last May he
was again reported seriously Ill.
Last August, as the result of long
continued agitation and many dis
t~urbances of a serious nature, the
Shah granted a constitution to Per-
STA, with a national Assembly and
other reforms.

The new Shah was born in 1872.
He has shown strong force of charac-
ter and marked energy and ability.
He is a devoted sportsman, being par
ticularly attached to motoring and
hunting, and he received an excellent
education, both Persian and Euro
pean.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK IMPROVED.
Labor and Facilities Are in Demand
For Trade Expansion.

New York City.-It is not difficult
for yer moderate optimists to see
improvement in the market outlook.
There is nothing new in the country's
prosperity conditions they simply
stand pat. Men in every branch of
business, everywhere, are making
money. Ordinary limits are far sur
passed. Actually the chief difficulty
to-day is % obtain facilities whereby
to meet the requirements of trade ex-

railway systems only more c~onspicu-
ously than Observation-Disclosures the
proportion exists in virtual universal

outrun supply. Capital is short of la
Dor, using all available, having need
for vastly more than car be COM
manded, and labor is short of time
offers of employment, appeals for
help, running stupendously beyond
what all the men in all the hours can
anywhere near supply. This rs the
cause, the gist, the meaning, of what
is so much called 1.-The embarrassment
of prosperity" To folks unlighted
by the superior wisdom of profess
sional Wall Street this sort of thing
might hardly be hooted at as calamit-
Gus for security values, but so it has
been for a full year past. Wherefore,
the hearty reception extended here

signs that some sentimental change

PAvLoFF SLAIN BY TERRORIST
Cars Procurator Long Marked For
Death.

st. Petersburg, Russia. - General
Pavloff. Chief Military Public Prose-
cutor, was shetland killed at 9 o'clock
a. m. in the courtyard of the Military
Tribunal, where he had his official

joining street. He killed a police
man and wounded another and in

among those of the twenty-seven
functionaries condemned to death by
the Terrorists, a list of whom was
found by the police in the series of
domicihRry visits they made in st.
Petersburg and Moscow last month.
After the murder Of General Won
der Launitz, the Project of st. Peters

work of determination would be pros
ecuted until the last remnants of the
