Board Approves Watkins Action.


 The Confederate Home Board met Thursday in regular monthly business. Besides transacting business of routine nature, the board approved the action of the Executive Committee in dis missing from the Confederate Home James N. Ferguson. The board also sustained w. M. Watkins, superinten- dent of the home, in his dealings with Ferguson. The latter was alleged to have been insubordinate and to have aroused Watkins to such an extent that the latter struck him, with the result that the superintendent was fined in court for striking Ferguson, the lat ter having taken the case into court. Ferguson was afterward dismissed from the home, where he had been an inmate for two years. It was report ed to the board that the home was in the best of shape, with a member ship of about 80 or 100. It was also reported that the new steam heating, hot water and electric lighting plant, which cost about 5000 ha6 been put into operation All of the members of the board were present, the members being as follows: Dan w. Jones, pres ident, Little Rock; Jonathan Kellog, secretary, Little Rock; Dr. J. H. Le- now, Little Rock; Dr. J. M. Keller, Hot Springs, Rt. Rev. J. M. Lucey, Pine Bluff.

The spirit of Christmas! What is the spirit of Christmas? Is it the generous spirit, the spirit of giving? Yes, but that is not all There will be millions of gifts made between now and the new year, and they will not all express the Christmas spirit. Some will be made out of pockets of plenty and thus entail no personal service; some will be made under compulsion of supposed necessity. How many people give things at this time because they think they must. They must give to those who, they hope or fear, will give to them. It is almost unfortunate that giving and taking has become such feature of our Christmas celebration because the mere gift is incapable of express ing the spirit of this occasion, and the occasion itself has become burden to many because it has been so much abused. It is not by giving lavishly thLt we honor Christ, whose birth we celebrate, but by sharing unselfishly every good thing we possess. This puts the best things of Christmas within reach of every human life and enables every human being however poor in goods to give generously of whatever else he has. We all have much. Is money denied us, then let us give what is better, a word to cheer, smile to awaken hope, some thing out of our hearts treasure Who would not rather get cordial mes sage from a friend that would express his thought and appreciation, than to get dollar trinket? What heresy to think that we cannot express an unselfish love at Christmas time ex- cept by lavish use of money The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of

Chanaed History of World.

The history of the world prior to Christ is history of barbarism, cruel ty and bloodshed. Read the history of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome and you read a history of vice, deg radiation and crime. A history that is written in blood and iniquity. The classic Greeks and tenacious Romans worshiped a multitude of gods. Even the inhabitants of Syria had gone astray until it was declared by the prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the Teutonics, were semibarbarous people without literature, without gov ernment, without refinement and with out religion, but when they received the glad tidings of the gospel of Christ their habits were changed, their manners refined and their civil lization improved. Wherever this gos- pei is proclaimed it is as a we'll of water springirg up into everlasting life.

Christ. He came on a giving mission but the gift was Himself-His life! Silver and gold had He none to give, but He gave health to the diseased, sight to the blind, hope to the despair ing and salvation to all who will ac- cept it. He proved His unselfish love not only by giving but by sharing, by undergoing, not only for us but with us, all our griefs and temptations. Would we honor Christmas and enjoy it. we must not only give but give wisely. Whether it be trinket, a watch, a picture, a book, or cordial word and a warm grasp of the hand, let it be an expression of the giver's hearty identification with the others interests and needs.-Rams Horn.

Capt. Riley was intently watching from his net-loft window the approach of his biggest fishing tug, the Alice Riley. Even in the inner harbor she was pitching and rolling in the Decem- Der seas and was sheathed in ice from bobbing timber head to the overhang aft.
 Not boxful, not one," he groaned, seeing the nestled fish boxes still lashed to the deckhouse roof "But the boys Il get their pay, somehow; they'll get it, if have to slap mort gage on all the outfit" No one else should know it, but the truth was Christmas cheer was not in Capt. Riley's heart as he turned gravely to the twine-reeling he had busted him. self with since he broke his ankle and Billy Noonan had proudly taken out the Alice Riley, the most powerful tug that fished off Skilligalee in the Straits of Mackinac.
 The tug tied up to the dock with a bump, there was some shouting, heavy footsteps dumping on the icy wharf, SAASh oP IilC oidhy oICil Chu CAC dOOl flew open letting in blast of raw north wind and an ice-coated being in oil skins who presently shed his chrys- alis and became crestfallen skipper, a curly-haired, alert young fellow, who almost hugged the roaring stove, for he was drenched and shivering.
 Not pound, cap'n," was his greet ing. "Breezed up so we couldn't touch the nets," he added.
 "Old Michigan must be cuttin' up considerable" the old man answered cheerily. Never mind, boy, yell get 'em next time."
 But Billy Noonan knew how bad the fishing had been all year, and could figure as well as his employer how bad matters must be. Not man of them

all but loved the grizzled old man, and marveled at him, for he knew the lake bottom from Point Betsie to the great log rollway that scared the bluffs north of Waugoshances light, as most men know dry land. Billy Noonan, however, also loved the old captains s daughter, Mary, and had hoped-how he had hoped!-to bring in big catch of. whitefish when he was given the big tug to lift the last nets of the year Now lean Christmas, very lean Christmas, seemed certain in the Riley home-a home for all homeless lads at Christmas time. Mary's laugh had been infrequent of late and her merri- ment had been forced.
 Here she was herself in the door way as the crew clumped in. Billy Noonan," she called, don't you know you'll swamp the tug with the fish jammed to the gunwalls, so?" There was note in her raillery that cut him to the quick. How queenly she was, this straight, blue-eyed brunette, wrap ped in the captains oilskins, flushed from facing the storm!
 Billy Noonan lay awake that night, notwithstanding the long day at the wheel of the lurching tug. Through his window he stared out at the black ness, and he listened to the wailing wind; wailing, it seemed to him, con- plaint at the year of misfortunes and pitiful catches of fish, wailing con- plaint at the wages and prices of fish fixed by the union that made the lot of Capt. Riley so hard in an "off" year. Far out on the Charlevoix pier no white light shone, up and down the angry lake the lighthouses and light ships were nowhere else on watch, the fog signals were silent, although belated barges still stumbled up and down the lake. Suddenly flash in the north, and another and another, the flash of rockets, brought him out of bed.

Beautiful, but UnheaIthy,

The most beautiful part of South Af- rica is the Bechuanaland Protectorate, which is, sad to say, also the un. healthiest. It is indeed hard to be- lieve that these vast stretches of sun ny woodland overarched with the skies and fleecy clouds of fairyland, a country which looks wholesome as a Border ballad, should be the most fev- er-infested part of the sub-continent.

When Marshall Field, the elder died,
year ago last January, estimates OF
his fortune varied all the way from
slOo, 100000 to sl5O,0OO,000. When the
executor filed the inventory Ia the pro-
bate court, in January, 1907, securities
all being listed at their par value, the
figures totalled about $4,000, 900, and
good financial authorities computed
the actual value at the then market

short, and tan shoes which have
been SO universally worn for the
past two seasons, promise to con-
tinue popular during the coming
winter. The exclusive shade
known as Golden Brown Kid Color

fastidious dressers, that it is diff

fast enough to keep up with their
orders. A quieter and more ele-

NEW TAILOR SUITS.

These commence with the striped
wool or broadcloth suit for ordi-
nary wear. the jacket of orthodox
length having pockets on the front
trimmed by buttons. Next comes
suit of finer material with some
what liberal braid trimming on
sleeve cuffs, all around the jacket,
which is considerably longer and
slashed at the sides, with rounded
or straight fronts. 1t really seems
this season as if the grade of the
suit was determined by the length
of the coat, as those of high-class
broadcloth have coats fifty and
ffty-two inches in length.
