WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Quali-
fed school teachers who would like
to assist in the eivilizing of the lit
tie brown brother in the Philippines
will have an opportunity this week
to accomplish their ambition. The
civil service commission has arrang-
ed examinations for the holiday per
iod to fill nearly 500 vacancies in
the islands of the far East. I'm
married women who have no fiances
or male relatives in the islands will
be barred from taking the examina-
ton, as 1t has been found that such
unattached females" soon become
homesiek and have to be sent home
before completing their contracts.
A majority of the appointments will
be made at an entrance salary of
81 400 per year, and ambitious ed
ucators may in time be promoted to
division superintendent and other
important places in the civil service
of the islands, with a corresponding
increase In salary. One thousand
American teachers are now main
tanned by Uncle Sam In the Philip
pines, and as result 1t Is declared
that English is the dominent lang
mage, although Spanish was the
language of the ruling race In the
island for two and half centuries.

A REALLY SANTA CLAUS

With the approach of Christmas
comes the ever recurring question
as to whether there is Santa Claus,
and each year adds to those who be-
come skeptical and with the invest

hood. One of the greatest Ameri-
can editors, Charles A. Dana, of

the tariff, finance and other great
questions of craftsmanship, but he
knew more than that. He knew
there was a Santa Claus, and in
answer to little girl who wrote to
him her doubts. because her friends
no not her friends. because her
friends would not tell her such a
thing but someone told her that
there was no really Santa Claus and
size wrote to Mr.. Dana about it.
Then the great statesman and edi-
tor, who knew that there was
Santa Claus wrote this letter in
reply:
eyes, Virginia, there is Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion

abound and give to your life its

WAY TO RESUME is TO RESUME

After the war of the rebellion one
of the principal questions discussed
by statesmen and by the people
generally was how it would b. pos
sible to get back onto a specie basis.
The timid statesmen declared that
If the government were to attempt
TO redeem its notes in coin there
would be an immediate rush to the
treasury for gold and that inside
of a week the treasury would be
drained of both gold and silver.
There was one man however
old Horace Greeley, who had his
faith and nerve in full measure
He kept on declaring in the New
York Tribune day after day that
the way to resume was to resume;
that if the government would de
clare that it was ready to 60 to a
coin basis there would be no panic,
no rush to get gold out of the Unit
ed States treasury. The result
showed that Horace was right 1t
is true that John Sherman as secre-
tary of the treasury took what mea.
sures he could to be ready to meet
the demand if there should be a
demand tor gold, but there was
no demand The people were not
at the door of the treasury on the
morning of resumption clamoring
cot .AI !,
greenbacks as soon as they were
satisfied that they could turn them
into gold OF silver if they so desir-
ed.
1t strikes us that right now is a
good time for the banks to apply |
the Horace Greeley idea to the re-
cent situation. Stop all of this
clearing house certificate business.
They are the rankest sort of fat
currency. The wonder to us is
that there has been so little kick on
the part of the people who have
been forced to take them. We must
also say that the people have shown
remarkable patience and good sense
during this panic which demon.
strates to us that there was no real
need of the shut down at all. If
the banks of the West had gone
right along about their busin ess,
cashing checks as usual there
would have been 10 run and no
stringency of currency. And if
the banks right now will resume
business under the old plan we are
satisfied that they will have no
trouble. Ii
But the people who have money
in the banks and can't get the same
out when they want it are getting

three carloads of stoves every kind

ones. too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
WINGED US to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we don't
want to keep them. So we have
made the prices low. Call and see
