The rejection Of manuscript often
left pang. but the acceptable manu-
script. especially from an unknown
hand. brought a glow of joy which
richly compensated me for all l suf-
fered from the others. To feel the
touch never felt before, to be the first
to find the planet unimagined in the
illimitable heaven of art. to be in at
the dawn of new talent, with the
light that seems to mantle the written
page, who would not be an editor for
such privilege? 1 do not know how
1t is with other editors who are also
authors. but I can truly say for my
self that nothing of my own which l
thought fresh and true ever gave me
more pleasure than that got from the
like qualities in the work of some
young writer revealing his power

DECORATIONS PLENTIFUL

Port of Spain, Dec. 26-The holiday
spirit pervaded the American fleet
Wednesday but it was more like the
celebration OF the Fourth of July than
that of the Christmas the men had
known in colder climes. Decorations
there were in plenty and wreaths of
holly and evergreens swinging, that
had been brought along to keep alive
the remembrances of the day. And
there were special dinners in the
messrooms for the officers and tur,
key and other good things for the
men.
Yesterday not less than 5000 or
1000 of the bluejackets were allowed
on shore, and they entered into the
spirit of merry making with the towns
people whose geniality and hospitality
have known no bounds. This beautiful
Spanish town is at present looking its
best, and Christmas with its warm
sunshine, was greatly enlivened by the
thousands of uniformed visitors who
at one time of the day or another pa
raded the principal thoroughfares.

A WHALES MOUTH.

Tho Grove of Twelve Foot QuilIs That
Fills the Cavern.
The rules for eating accredited to
Gladstone and Fletcher, which rcqur-
ed thirty-two. more or less, chews to
each mouthful. were never meant for
the tlle whale. 1t has no teeth, and it
swallows its food whole. catching it in
the baleen, or strips OF "whalebone,"
which depend from the sides Of it's
mouth. If a whale saw the whale
bones that womankind are accustomed
TO using in their waists he would never
recognize them as part of his ali
mentary system, they are so small. In
the form in which they would be ia
miliar to him they would be ten or
twelve feet long and look like giant
brushes, with handle ten inches wide
at the end
One might wonder how any animal
could close its mouth with a grove of
twelve foot quilts sticking out of the
roof. When the mouth closes the slabs
of baleen lie flat in grooves. When the
mouth opens the slabs spring forward,
completely filing the cavern. One
whale may have as many as 700 in its
mouth. Sometimes the weight of this
giant mouth fringe is a ton, and the
contents of the mouth of one whale
taken in Bering sea OH Oct 20, 1888,
weighed 800 pounds. or a ton and a
half.-New York Tribune

BE CORRECT FOR GIRL TO
OFFER HER HAND AND HEART
TO LOVING SWANS.

II the closing year has not been
what it should have been to some Rich
mOnd maiden who imagines she would
rather be married than single, said
maiden can take heart because after
today only five days intervene between
1907 and leap year.
1t has naturally been four years
since the last leap year, and during
these four long, weary years the hands
of many maidens have been held-ex-
ton. 1t is never proper in the ordi-
nary year for girl to take her cour-
age in one hand and her lover in the
other and make a genuine proposal OF
it is the proper thing to do. If Rich
inond girls lose out during the coming
year. it will be their own fault, no one
else will be to blame. In leap year
girls can give dances, can arrange pa:-
ties and all such functions. and oh.
joy. they can invite their young men
friends and can take matters on their
own shoulders just as much as they
care to. There is no reason why next
year should not be one of supreme
happiness for every Richmond girl. II

OFFICERS NOT FORGOTTEN

New York, December 26-From his
cell in prison, Harry Thaw, almost on
the eve Of his second trial for the
murder Of Stanford White, spread the
Christmas cheer throughout the
gloomy old pile. To every male keep
er he gave a box OF cigars-there are
forty-seven of them-and to the fiji
teen matrons, he sent half dozen fine
linen handkerchiefs. On Christmas
day every male prisoner will receive
three cigars from Thaw to smoke with
his dinner and the women will also
get a box of candy. The prisoners will
also get box of cocoa for their own

MAGIC IN MOROCCO.
Charms and Spells That Are Used by
Mocrt=, Women,

Moor,Sa Women.
Mrs Mansel-Picydel writes OF tho
curious charms used ny the women OF
Morocco: Moorish women resort much
to charms TO gain lovers or to keep
their affections when gained. There is
one charm which is seldom known TO
fail. 1t consists OF shredding n small
piece OF an undersarment which the
man has worn and, after certain in
carnations buve been said over It, of
rolling the particles into the shape
of a small ball. This is embedded in
a large ball of clay and. after being
slightly damped. it is kept in a pot
over the embers OF live charcoal.
II have been assured that as soon
as the heat penetrates the clay the
man, whoever he may be. will lay
time and fly 10 the arms of the woman
who invokes the charm. AS long as
the ball is kept warm so long will the
heat OF love burn in tho heart Of the
lover for that woman.
Another spell much resorted to Il
cast by cutting off the tips OF a DON

them in the mans food. lie then be-

Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Friday afternoon has been allotted
exclusively to the ladies at the New
Phillips by Miss Ray. mind reader,
at that time. This is for the purpose
of allowing the ladies to ask such
questions as they may see fit. Friday
night, in addition to the regular bill
Floyd Wood and Isabel Bass will ap-
pear in Spanish dancing and singing
act and being local people their
friends will be anxious to see them.
There is much interest as to who will
get the dinner set that is to be award
ed Saturday night. Plenty of oppor-
tunity is still afforded for all those
to do so and it Is predicted that none
will be disappointed.
AS predicted, the Christmas business
at the Gennett was very liberal and
the patrons of the house were well
pleased with the combined offering of
repertoire and specialties as put on
by the Van Dyke and Eaton Company.
The remaining performances will be
as follows:
Thursday night--"A Human Slave
Friday-Matinee, "Sapho'; night,
Little Christian
Observation-Disclosures, Dora Thorne.' "
Night, Men of Jimtown.'
All told, the engagement of the Van
Dyke-Eaton company promises to
prove fully as successful as that of any
stock company appearing at the Gen.
nett in recent weeks.
