Christmaa Cards.

From New York Mail and Express.
The Christmas caro- as we know IL
has an origin easily traceable, and it
IS doubtless at least sixty years since
the first was designed. The artist who
claimed to be it's originator and who
was, at any rate, the first to see it's
possibilities was w. C. T. Dobson, r.
A, who, when quite a young man, In
1914, was prompted at Christmas to
make q little sketch symbolic of the
seasons Joys and festivities and to
send 1t to q friend. It seemed to give
great pleasure, and the next year Mr..
Dobson determined to follow up the
idea ON a larger scale, and by having
his card photographed was enabled to
send copies to twenty-five or thirty
friends. The delight with which they
were received vas so great that Mr..
Dobson was quick to perceive that he
had found a new pleasure for Christ
mas.

5000 PLUM PUDDINCs
FROM ONE WOMAN.
One Pair Of Hands Sends Combined
Delights and Indigestion to Many
anda

one Fair OF Hands Sends Combined
Delights and Indigestion to Many
Lands.
That one fraiI little woman shoulA
supply some 5000 people with plum
buildings for their Christmas dinnerI
seems almost incredible. Yet there Is
a woman who has proved equal to the
task OF thus scattering combined de-
light and indigestion to the ends OF the,
earth. Her success goes to prove the,
fact so often stated that nowadays for
tune comes to the I'M who will
specialize.
1t was borne in upon Mrs. Dudley
Miller, a young widow in a northern
New York town, that IL she ever hoped
TO become self-supportipg or rise on the
ladder Of fame, It would be by utilizing
her one talent which seemed to be that
OF making delicious plum buildings. The
fame OF Mrs. Miller's buildings had
been q by-w0rd in her family from time
tried. About It hung a flavor of ro-
immemOrial. The receipt vas old and
nance, for 1t had been handed down
from mother to daughter since colonial
days, and the finished product had
graced the hospitable board upon many
a festive occasion.
From first supplying friends with
this gastronomic delicacy, Mrs. Miller
began supplying her friends friends;
her fame gradually spread Inc h be-
gan to receive orders from other
sources until now her clientele stretch
es from Maine to California, and she
is scarcely able to supply the demand.
orders come even from far away Eng
land, where 1t has long been supposed
that h Christmas plum pudding exists
In its perfect state, and Americans in
Rome, Italy, desirons of enjoying this
home delicacy on Christmas day have
sent even that distance for them.
Mrs. Miller believes In the old saying
that IL you want a thing done well you
must do 1t yourself, and so she employs
no outside help. although she has the
assistance of some members of her
household. They begin work early In
November. There are hundreds of
nuts to be cracked, thousands of raisins
to be stoned, millions of curants to be
stemmed. as well as all of the other,
good things to be thought of that go
to make up a plum pudding worthy OF
the name. Finally, when all the I'm
gradients are prepared and thoroughly
beaten together, the steaming process
ensues, after which the rich. brown
loayes are all ready to be packed and
sent TO their respective destinations.
In preparing a special commodity for
the Market 1t is a well known fact
that the manner in which it is lone up
largely Affects the sale. So Mrs. Miller
offers her wares to the public in as
dainty q dress as the article and occa-
sion demands. First, each pudding is
wrapped in paraffine paper, then in a
heavier quality OF white paper. After
ward they are tied with bright scarlet
! satin ribbon In which are slipped small
sprigs of holly which lend a festive
air In keeping with the season. In
each box there is placed a slip of pa
per containing directions for the brandy
sauce, h burning of which, as every
n knows. Is a very important part Of
Christmas dinner.

Christmas Gifts.

Glad Christmas day is here again, with
loving word and deed,
When all get much they do not want,
and little that they need.
The baby's jacket, cousin sent, we can
get on at all,
And mothers slippers are too largo and
ather's are too small.
And sister leila got a hood she'll be afraid
to wear
Because it's color clashes with the color OF
her hair.
And brother Henry got some books from
pious Uncle Ned,
And after he had told him, too, he hoped
he'd send a sled.
Aunt Mary, who's so timid she's afraid to
slumber nights.
Received an Indian story book that's so
chuck full of fights
M tomahawks and scalping knives Il
makes our blood run cold
She wouldn't read a word OF 1t for twice
Its weight In gold.
Our parson, who is single, and is thought
to be q prize,
Got nineteen pairs of slippers. every color.
n Deacon Gray, who isn't gray, because
his head Is bare,
Received a splendid set Of combs and
brushes for his hair.
But while some gifts are not a At, the
ones who get them know
Twas kindly hearts n loving thoughts
The spirit that surrounds them all makes
every one seem dear,
And Christmas day shall still be held
the best of all the year,

Christmas Trees from st. Paul

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Over $1,000 trees Will be shipped from
here to the ~treeless prairies Of the west.
81. Paul's excellent railroad facilities make
It an ideal city for the distribution OF
Christmas trees In the states OF North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. There
are few dealers in these states who handle
enough Christmas trees to warrant buying
In large wholesale lots. Rural dealers ON
the t~reeless plains who only seek to supply
the local demand do not care to order I'm,
carload quantities.. rs they would be OBJ
Iged to do in dealing directly with the
growers. They accordingly order In suit
able quantities from wholesale dealers In
st. Paul, Chicago and other large cities not
too remote from the spruce forests to be
economical shipping points.
In years past local dealers nave looked
to the Minnesota and Wisconsin, spruce
swamps for their main supply, but the pre-
vailing dampness OF the past two or three
seasons has flooded the swamps and killed
the lower branches of the saplings, thereby
uniting them for Christmas trees. The
growth at the present time IN also less
dense In Minnesota and Wisconsin than In
the Northern Michigan swamps and for
ests, so that a carload can be secured
much more readily In the latter than in
the former sources of supply. -
Some dealers buy direct from the grow
ers, others sen q buyer into the field with
a contract to deliver a certain quantity OF
trees. Spruce and balsam are the favorite
trees in the market. These species exude
q most exquisite aroma and are more
agreeable to inc han the resinous pine
which stains everything with which IL
comes In contact. The pendulous cones OF
the spruce, which vary In size from the
dimensions of n chestnut to those of a but
ternut, are also greatly admired on the
Christmas tree.
The two varieties. OF the spruce, each
OF which has its especial advantages as a
Christmas tree, are the swamp spruce and
the upland spruce, beinA or dense growth,
its branches ave IN upward shoot formz
ing an acute angle with the trunk, which
makes 1t an easy variety to bind in bum
dies for shipment. The smaller trees, not
over three or four feet in height, are
bound in bundle OF one dozen each. These
find ready market as small family trees,
The upland spruce. however, Is consid-
cred more beautiful on account OF It's
spreading branches. These are the favor
ties for large gatherings, u as Sunday
schools. Trees of this variety are found
In the market over thirty feet In height.

Liquor Causek Brownsville Riot.

Rev. C.. C. Rankin, editor of Texas Christian Advocate" in 6 recent issue of his able paper, vigorously declares that the whole trouble at Brownsville be- tween the negro soldiers and the citizens originated in the Browns vile saloons.
 He goes on to show that the re fusal of the white saloon keepers to serve negro soldiers with li- quor led to those terrible results. He adds: Had the saloons not been in Brownsville there would have been no riots. The people are coming to regard the saloon as the enemy of all law and order, and it is only question of time when it's knell will be sounded. It is an eXcresence on the body social and polite, brought over from style of our civilization now extinct, and from this time forward the people will demand it's extermination. Law cannot control it, and it's death is al- ready decreed." :"
 Patriotic citizens generally will agree with these vigorous statements. The end of saloon domination everywhere verily draweth nigh.
