The children,s Christmas.

If we are to keep Christmas day fiji
for the children it must be full of sim
pie enjoyment. 1t is not the elabo
stocking with popcorn, nuts, raisins
and apples, and rollicking good time
over it, than a conventional party OF
gorgeous tree and cross family
In one of the magazines last year there
was an amusing story of the Christ
mas celebration prepared for two OF
three. children by their admiring
grandparents, aunts and uncles. Com
plicated and expensive toys were in
profusion. There was a beautiful tree
but the grown-ups were the ones
who enjoyed all this, and the little
boy retired to the servants quarters
for a sensible conversation with the
man, who had given him the one pres
ent that was valued.
After all, nothing in the world has
the same mysterious charm that in.

stocking lends itself to prolong the
uncertainty. How it muff1es its con
tents! 1t opens unexpected depths
and swallows the particular article
you were lingering 1t twists itself
about reluctantly when you try to
hurry out bulky object that you are
almost bursting to see. But in the
end it is all ours for inspection and
consumption.
A stocking does have this advantage
over public tree that it does not
force on the youthful mind the sharp
lines drawn by the possession OF
worldly goods. Many poor little
Eve has coveted, seeing that the fruit
of the tree was exceeding fair, only to
be told that Jennie Jones father and
mother haven't so many little girls
and boys to get presents for as your
father and mother"-as if that were

What Did He Do With II?

A Philadelphia clergyman was
talking about the late Sam Small,
81 once heard him speak," he said,
"and his humor and eloquence i'm
pressed me deeply.
HE had happy knack of illustra-
ton. He wanted, / remember, to IL
lustrate the frailty that is part of
even the best characters, and he told
story about brave young soldier.
This soldier, he said, enlisted in
the Spanish-American War, and he
fought like lion for his country.
The firm he had worked for, pleased
with the record he was making for
himself, told his wife that all the time
he was away they would pay half his
wages to her.
Accordingly, at the end Of the
first week the young woman called
at the office, and the head Of the firm
handed her 50.
She looked at the money, and her
face clouded over.
Nine dollars" she said.
Yes said the head, little hurt;
that is just half I'm sorry you are
not satisfied
1t isn't that I'm not satisfied,
said the young woman, but all along
he's been telling me his pay was only
$14 week. Wait till he gets home!

will. Washington Star.

Foolish Bother.

A controversy has been started in
England over the statement in death
notice that Mrs. Sturgeon entered
heaven at $50 this morning" The
vicar of Milton took exceptions to the
declaration. and in the course Of a
sermon said it was absurd to suppose
that the spirit enters heaven at the
moment of death ON earth. This has
brought out letters from many people
who side with the preacher or oppose
his view of the case. No wonder Mr.
Chamberlain is alarmed. How can a
country whose inhabitants become ex
cited over the mere experiences of the
soul after quitting this world expect
to retain its commercial supremacy?

Dishwashing a Husband,s Duty.

That every married man should
wash dishes and make himself gener-
ally useful about the house was a
ruling made by Judge Howell in the
First Precinct Court of Newark in the
course of the trial of Henry r. LUG
kock, vice-president of the c. H. Tay-
lor Cut Glass Company, on a charge
of Mrs. Luckock that he had threat
ened her. Counsel for Luckock
wished to bring out, in reply to
charges of cruelty made by Mrs. Luc-
kock, that her husband was "a de-
cent sort of fellow" and had fire.
quently returned from his Office at
night and found piled up on the table
the dishes from the morning, noon
and night meals, which accumulation
he quickly disposed of because of ex-
pertness in dishwashing. The court
was told that Luckock gave his wife
$34 out of his weekly salary of $35
and had always provided for her. $50
far as the washing of the dishes is
concerned" the c3urt asserted, that
is nothing more than the duty of
every husband.

Cant Fool the Judge,

In the Gloucester County Court,
Woodbury., Judge Starr showed a de-
termination to break up the beer
ark system, which supplies the
thirsty of the small towns with bot
tied beer, He imposed fines of 500
on Martin Fries, of Gloucester; $125
on James F. Bradley, of Philadelphia,
and 800 on John Kerstein. Mrs
Graisbury, of Westville, pleaded gull
ty and Frank Bennett not guilty to
similar charges, but sentence was de-
ferred in their cases. Counsel for the
defense contended that the accused
were only technically guilty of ille-
gally selling, as they only filed or
ders. Judge Starr said that was alb,
surd, since he knew that many of the
wagons came into the county loaded
with thirst-allaying materials, which
had not been ordered, but which, to
make pretense of observing the law,
was sold to customers upon postal
card orders mailed on the spot.

side of a richly dressed lady, who
said that gentleman was coming to
occupy it. Knowing that she was
not telling the truth, relates the

that he would take it until her friend

colored woman came down the aisle
looking for a seat, whereupon the
gentleman sprang up and with bow,
exclaimed, Here, madam, take my
seat, and passed on to the smoking
car.

Wife Jabs Husband Kneeling At Coffin.

Piltsburg, August l9.-While Mrs.
Frances r Parker and her husband,
w. G. Parker, we're telling their marital
troubles in Judge John D. Shafers court
yesterday afternoon, even the veteran
Judge, who has tried 80 many divorce
cases, shook his head and declared that
be did not see how 1t was possible fot
married people to act toward each other
as they did. Mrs. Parker had brought
the suit against her husband for divorce.
Parker is connected with a mercantile
company of this city, and both be and
his wife are young and well connected.
Mrs. Parker Is q beautiful brunette.
They have been married two years.
Mrs. Parker charged that her husband
would not purchase milk for their baby,
but admitted that she had purchased
five new hats last winter.
Parker declared that his wife was con-
stanily endeavoring to cause him pain.
BE recalled one instance, when his father
died some months ego. He said that
while he was kneeling In tears at the
coffin his wife entered the room and jsb.
bed hatpin into his body repeatedly to
cause him additional pain. Parker also
alleged that once he purchased 3 new
dress for his wife, and she did not like
it; 80 she very promptly tore the garment
into stripes, and threw them out of the
window, then took all of his clothes that
she could find, and threw them out of
the window also, and then went out and
stamped them into the mud.
Judge Shafer decided that the couple
would be far better of apart, and granted
the wife a decree of divorce. The bus-
band agreed to support her and their
child.
