the Young and the old are made mer-
~ by the joys and festivities that
throng the holidays. To the child 1t
means toys, sweetmests and the pleas

brings that renewal of youth that comes
from contact with the Bdoyancy Of

overaowing with happiness because of
what they have received while their
parents, measuring life by higher
standard. find a deep satisfaction tn
The joy that they impart.
Let not the circle of kinship bound
the generosity that the season
prompts, for it is not a small gift
that gave TO Christmas its significance,
and to the Christian world this day

SENATOR MALLORY DEAD.

The sad news of the death of Sen,
ator Mallory was received in Gaines.
vile early Monday morning, to the
effect that he had passed away at his
home in Pensacola at 12:4S o'clock
a. M, December %.
No man in public life was ever more
highly esteemed than Senator NAL
Tory. Even those opposed to him
politically admitted that not a word
could be truthfully uttered against his
public or private life, and his devo-
ton to his aged mother, who died a
few years ago, was beautiful in the ex-
IRENE. His life was embellished by
modesty and self-sacrifices, and his
biographer can truthfully say that
"a nobler man never lived"
He was the son of Stephen R. NAL
lory, at one time United States Sen
ator from Florida and Secretary of the
Confederate Navy. The Congressional
Record gives the following brief
sketch Of his life:
stephen Russell Mallory, Demo-
crat of Pensacola, was born Novem-
Der 2, 1S4S; entered Confederate Army
in Virginia in the fall of 1854. in the
spring of 1865 was appointed midship.
man In the Confederate Navy; entered
Georgetown College, District of Co
lumbla, November, 1865, and gradual,
ed in June, 1869; taught a class at
College until July, 1871;
was admitted to the bar by the SUI
preme court of Louisiana at New Or
leans in 1873; removed to Pensacola,
Fla, in 1874, and began practicing
law; was elected to the lower house
of the Legislature in 1876; was elected
to the Senate of Florida in 1850, and
was reelected in 1884; was elected to
the Fifty-second and Fifty-third Con-
crosses from the First District of
and was elected to the United
States Senate by the Legislature of
Florida for the term beginning March |
1, 1897. Reelected in 1903. Received
the degree of doctor of laws from
Georgetown University in June, 1904.
His term of service will expire March |
3, 1909"
Owing to i'll health, Senator Mallory |
declined to continue in the
ace for reelection as his own sue
lessor.
1t will indeed be hard for his place
o be filled in the State and nation.
Senator Mallory was a modest, UNI
man throughout his life, and
It his dying request no official funeral
will be held, as is customary upon
he death of members of Congress
His late colleagues who attend his
uneral will do so unoficially.

PIPES NOW EXPENSIVE

The price Of pipes, according TO
some of the local dealers, is the latest
thing to go up. They report that good
grades of pipes have advanced in price
from Is to so per cent in the last few
months. This applies especially to the
fine meerschaum and briarwood varie-
ties.
The rise I'm the price of meerschaum
pipes is probably a permanent one
and il is said that n will not be many
years before any one who possesses a
meerschaum will be indeed a very fort
unate person. Advices from Germany
state that the supply Of meerschaum
at the mines in Turkey is nearly ex-
hausted. and it is found nowhere else
i'm the world in any quantity.
Briarwood pipes have risen in price
about 25 per cent This may be only
temporary, and it affects only the
highest grades. The dealers attribute
the cause of this rise in price to a
strike in France. 1t is also said that
the big. bright, busy trust may have
had something to do with the matter.
In the meantime there is no corner
i'm the clay or the corncob, for which
all smokers continue to be thankful
Both Of these articles stil continue
popular at the same old prices. But
for the exclusive meerschaum it looks
as If il would be soon out Of reach.

The Country Roller Rink at Brandy.
wine Springs is now a success, judg-
ing from the large crowds in daily
attendance. The floor seems almost
perfect now that the newness has
worn off. and the fact that metal roi-

TO the skating surface a cleanliness
quite unusual in rinks. The organ is
giving satisfaction. excepting perhaps.
when the floor is crowded with skaters
at which times the noise from the
skates affects the loudness Of the
organ. The management is laying
plans TO ballast the floor with a view
of reducing the noise Of the skates.
This week has been set aside as ladies'

to have the women beginners induced
TO take up skating. Next week viii

Whisky and Its Origin.

The word whisky is of Irish origin.
Indeed, the Irish claim that whisky it,
self is Of Irish origin and, moreover,
that the Irish taught the Scotch people
how to make whisky. AS for the
name, it springs from the Irish word
uisgue, which means water. The dis
TILED spirit was called by the Irish in
ancient times uisgue betha, or lie Civ
ing water. Distillation is a process
said to have been known to the Ara
bians in remote ages, but the first au-
thor to speak Of it explicitly-and he
speaks of 1t also as a recent discovery
was n chemist who lived in the thir-
teenth century, Aronaldus de villa No
va. Nova deemed distillation to be the
universal panacea which all ages had
sought for in vain.
The cry Of modern degeneration'f
was raised even in those faroff days,
and a pupil of Nova, one Raymond
Lully of AIajorca, acclaimed distilled
water as a divine emanation, declaring
that it was destined to revive the en-
ergles Of modern decrepitude." This
aqua vitae, indeed, denoted the con-
summation Of all things in the brain
Of Lully. II heralded even the end OF
the world.-Chicago Chronicle.
The Greatest Volcanic Eruption.
1t is generally agreed that the great

Among other things, the eruption ere
ated dust finer than any rock can be
ground by man, and this dust foated
around in the air in visible quantities
for three years. The eruption was
heard 1900 miles away and broke win
dows 100 miles from the crater. 1t
threw a tidal wave 100 feet high a dis
tance Of five miles inland and caused

not spare the recreant minister. The
eloper was called a traitor and de-
nounced roundly from the very pulpit
where he played the sanctihed part a
week ago. In part the Bishop said:
MY friends, ] have not come here

the incidents of the last week or pass
them in absolute silence. Our dear
church. our diocese, your parish are

diocese TO share your sorrow, your
indignation and your shame.
Perhaps he was insane, but I am
not of those who believe that insanity
can always be pleaded as an excuse for
immortality Our country has suffered
too much already from the mawkish
sentiment which allows murderers and
adulterers TO go unpunished on the
ground or plea OF insanity
Little Scandal Ministry
1T is seldom that a dark scandal or
hideous shadow or mark of sin Is
found among the ministry and that is
why when such things happen their
unusualness Is remarked.
"On the other hand we have our
wealthy people regarded with an adul-
alton and sycophancy to a degree that
turns the stomach Of every right
thinking and solf-respectlng man. on
the other hand we have an upgrowth
of socalstic hatred and envy threat
ening the very life Of the Republic
These are the things we are facing.
Church is Bitterly AssalIed
Now. have you been true to your
church? The church has never known
such a day as the present She has
never been assailed so bitterly before

immortality on the other. Dark and
fearful is the arraignment that can he

spell with a big s."
