exercise that consideration for the con
venience of others which is the trucSt
index Of refinement? For instance, don't
wait to do all your shopping at the last
minute. If there are some last pur-
chaseS to be made, don't scorn to carry
the parcels home with you. If your
position can be injured by carrying
paper parcel that position doesn't
amount to much. In sending gifts
away by express or through the mails
get them off early. BY doing so you
will give the postOffice and express
employees an opportunity to enjoy the
holidays Sometimes the pressure of
work is such that some of these cant
get off even on Christmas day. If
they are rushed and worked overtime
during the preceding week, they VIII
be too tired to care whether or not
Christmas comes round. Also have
mercy on the hard worked grocer and
butcher and baker. On the day be
fore holiday these dealers are always
rushed to death. Don't expect them to
travel mile or two to deliver the
pound of raisins or the bottle of va
nilla that you overlooked in giving
your regular order. Have mercy on
the hapless drivers, compelled to be
out in the cold until late at night on
thankleSs errandS. Have mercy also
upon the weary horses, forced to stag
ger through snowdrifts or beat their
way before the binding winter blasts
to your door.

Bradley murder trial made the state

be suffering from mental arrangement
and gave as one of his reasons for
thinking so that she was interested in
politics Said this sage. "She was en-
intellectual woman" This shocking
charge was followed UP by the state
ment: "And yet she included in her
duties that which we do not expect
women to be interested in. She was
interested in politics, and | think that
was evidence of an abnormal condi-
ton" Women members of civic clubs.

societies everywhere, will please take
notice and retire to sanitariumS as
soon as they can get their affairs in

more upsetting to the female than to
the male brain the gifted alienist did
not set forth. Under this ruling such
