Christmas Holiday Lasts From Tues

London, Dec. 25.-A Christmas
holiday lasting from Tuesday to FIJI
day for every one engaged IN business
and extending to the following Mon
day for many scores OF thousands OF
workers has resulted in record as
tribution of Londoners to all parts OF
the United Kingdom and left the

have taken trains at the various rail-
way stations bound for the provinces
and elsewhere on visits to relatives

The weather yesterday was so foggy,

IN THE HEART OF THINGS
Christmas; the Perfumed Love Bios
som of the Heart

Why do we give Christmas pres
ents? Because the strongest fmnluse
in our lives-love-forces us to do it.
We are in love with our relatives
we are in love with our friends AT
Christmas time we are in love with all
humanity, and this love bursts forth
from our hearts into perfumed bios
SONS of good Christmas cheer What
a misfortune it is that Christmas,
good will and love, can not last all
through the year!3a<1 ,s9t7- 5
What a bleak and dreary thing the
long winter would be without the
blazing splendor of Christmas, right in
its storms of cloud driving SHOWS and
bowling blasts.
The juggling sleigh bells, the blue
noses, the aching frost nipped fingers,
the Gathering wagons over frozen
roads, the slippery ice, the snow en-
shrouded dead winter landscape, all
form somber arctic background
against which the glories of Santa
Claus and his mighty mystic den OF
Christmas presents shine with re-
splendent luster.
Every heart, no matter how stony
and barren, has a grain of love in it il
no larger than a mustard seed. If at
Christmas time this grain of love may
be nurtured and allowed to blossom
into acts of kindness, which result in
placing in the hands of the dear inno-
cents In poverty even inexpensive
tokens of love and good will of the
Christmas time, a vast amount of Gull
ture and education in living the high
er life will be thus sown broadcast to
do good forever more. Logan

NICKUM CLUE A FAKE.
Officers Sent on Wild Goose Chase
by Letter to Hoch.

Sheriff John Wi1kerson and ex-
Sheriff Bert Lucas returned this
morning from Lyndon, Usage county,
where they had gone on a false clue.
About a week ago, Governor Hoch re-
ceived a letter from John Wolff, a
prisoner in the Usage county Jail. In
this letter Wolf said that he had a
clue to the murder of Mrs. Mary
Nickum who was mysteriOusly and
brutally murdered in Topeka four
years ago. The governor turned this
letter over to the sheriff, who accom-
panied by Mr.. Lucas, who was sheriff
at the time of the murder and knew
the details, went to Lyndon yesterday
to investigate. They found that Wolff
who is serving a sentence for assault
on a man named Lutz, country ped
dler, wanted to hang the crime of the
Nickum murder on the prosecuting
witness. He had no evidence, and the
sheriff and Mr.. Lucas, after careful
investigation, decided that Wolff was
prevaricating, and knew nothing
about it.
Wolff has been arrested many times
in Topeka, for everything from the
burglary of drug store at Tenth and
Kansas avenue, to forging checks on
his mother, a widow who lives near
BurIin game. He is considered an ir-
responsible, whose mind has been af-
fected by the excessive use of drug
store booze.

Much Valuable Information
Given by Mr.. Howe.

Auburn. Kan, Dec. II. 1907.
To the Topeka State Journal:
We, a number of your subscribers at
Auburn, have been talking over the tax
commission and the new system of tax
alton and every one seems to have a diff
ferent idea as to the effect of the new
way on our land and our property
VIII you please give us, in as few words
Journal the explanation Of the new way
of taxing mortgages, farms and personal
property? Are those who have mortgages
on their farms released of the tax on the
mortgage?
Is the tax on the mortgage paid in con-
nection with the recording in the court
house?
How much Will be the tax on a $1,oO0
mortgage?
How much on a farm worth $1,000?
This will not only be interesting to u.s.
but to great many who have an imper-
feet knowledge of the new system.
Yours truly,
