The following questions come from
a correspondent who signs herself

What is the proper way to acknowl-
edge an invitation to a piano recital
given by girl friend? If gifts are
sent to her what would be suitable and
how should they be given?
At an informal reception who sug-
gests going to the dining-room, the
lady or her escort? Should a man al
ways keep to the right in being seated
at table when the places are DIT
marked?
In introducing a young professional
man should lady be presented to
him or visa versa? And does the age
of a lady make any difference in the
above question?
Is it proper to ask man in when he
takes a girl home and should she ask
him to call?

Christmas Tree For Cat.

Christmas is the great religious festi-
val when the kind heart finds many
ways Of ministering to the Joy and
pleasure of others. The good women
Of Boston who originated: and sustain
the Animal Rescue league have hit up
on the unique idea of Christmas tree
for the cats that are waiting for homes
at that institution. A bush is provided
and trimmed with meat and other suit
able eata bles for such animals. and
just. before they are turned into the
room the members of the Kindness
club are admitted to enjoy the antics
of. the cats. .'- -.
This club is composed Of boys whose
ages range from eight to thirteen
years and is the outcome of the
leagues work in a poor section Of Bos-
ton. They are pledged to do some kind
act each day and to- protect animals
from cruelty. After the cats have de-
molished the tree and gone to sleep
the boys are given refreshments and
sent home truly filed with the spirit Of
Christmas.-New York Mail and Ex-

Disbarment is to be the punishment
of Francis B. Hart, Minneapolis at

supreme court of Minnesota, if the
recommendation of the State Bar asso-
citation is adopted.
A joint meeting. of the board of gov.
errors and ethics committee was held
at the Office of How, Butler. & Mitchell
in st. Paul, when the matter was dis.
cussed. Subsequently the board Of
governors and the ethics committee
held separate meetings, when each or.

The resolutions recite that the at

to while away an hour. Up in the big
pleasant rooms of the association the
captain recently told the following
tale: n
"The approach Of Christmas always
reminds me of the December that I
spent on an ice ship. Never heard of
one? Well, they are unusual. l was
master Of the little brig Holly, and
along about the LIST Of November we
were wrecked away down south Of the

After that we followed it out inside.
making cabins and everything like a
regular ship, and with some OF the
timber saved from our vessel We rig
ged her as bark, side lights and ey-
erything, even going so far as to paint
her and name her the Holly. She was
a fine craft and foated like duck
when finally launched. We. spent
Christmas on board Of her and had a
great time. l loaded part of the wreck
ed Holly's cargo in her, and we then
started for Callao. which was our des-
tination. III
"The ice ship sailed fine and was as
good a sea boat as any in which sail
ed. This was only, however, when we
were down south in cold water. The
nearer we got'to the equator the light
er became our vessel, and I finally dis
covered that our ship was melting be-
meath us. Another two days and we
would have been in the water when
steamer picked us up and also saved
the cargo. This paid for the loss Of
the vessel, which was also insured, so
the owners came out ahead in the
end" 49,

JOHNSON BOOM GROWING.
Influential Element Of Democracy

Influential Element Of Democracy
Backing Minnesotan.
A special from Washington to the
St. Paul Dispatch says:
That Governor Johnson will be
taken up by very influential ele-
ment of the Democratic party for
president is now generally conceded
In Washington, even by the personal
friends of Bryan. If overtures and
efforts which will soon be under way
to make Governor Johnson the nom-
inee meet with success a formidable
and forcible Johnson organization will
be seen by March 1. His visit to
Washington and his all around pop
ular qualities made the Minnesota
governor the talk of the hour. Col
umns have been written about him in
Eastern papers and some of the writer's
have perhaps overdone the printing OF
praise for the governor.
He is compared to Abraham Lin
coin and is looked upon as the saviour
of the Democratic party. When he
left for home there were kilograms
for him to visit New York and meet
with prominent party men.
The prediction is made here that
John A. Johnson will at the proper
time declare himself candidate
against Bryan. It is based on conclu-
sions made, not only upon observa-
lions here, but upon close study of
the situation in Minnesota and the
Northwest generally.

WHEN SANTA WENT aAsTRAY.
Miracle Of the Loaves Repeated For
r., Washinaton's Poor

The day Of miracles has not passed.
according to the firm belief Of hun
dred or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Christmas day Almas tenn
pie of the Shriners gave its annual din
ner to the poor. 1t was we'll planned
affair, generously contributed to-, and
turned out a big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit Of the
occasion.
. While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one Of his sto-
ries there entered another big, fat San
ia Claus. carrying colossal basket
full Of bread, and. behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets Of bread. One Of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sentsa gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to, the heads Of
families, and an additional smile of
Christmas Joy went around with them.
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis
perse a man came running in and ask
ed:
did you get $50 loaves of bread?"
1--WE did" was the reply.
"what DID you do with itT'

4 well, that was an order from the
Carroll institute. It came here by
mistake. But It is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and If you need
more let US know" and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with
the incident. New York Times. .

The THREE WISE MEN. /.
Who Were Theys ~ An Unso'ved

=
| Christmas Mystery \ ,s... %
One Christmas mystery remains un-
solved. Who were the wise men of, the
east-the magi who followed the star
of Bethlehem from affair to do homage
to the newborn Saviour? @Sf ~ "
The simple story as told in the Bible
is one of the most familiar in Christ
mas lore. Any child could recite it in
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made it the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels,
but to this day, the identity Of these,
wise men remains mystery. A,
search Of the great paintings in which
the subject is treated produces a be-.
wilderment. There are half hum.
dred different ideas presented. The
varying versions of the books Of the
ages are as many.
1t Is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts Of value that they were in their
own country men of royalty or close
to u. Herod evidently deemed it we'll
to treat them with Difference, for dis
quieted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace Of the Redeemer he dis
sem bled and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much of our information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth CEN
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story of the three wise, men has receiv.
ed wide credence. According to these
monks, the wise men were three great.
kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Bal
thasar. Caspar was the oldest and
from the north. At the time Of the
birth of Christ he was sixty years old,
and for more than two-thirds Of that
time he had ruled In Arabia. Baltha-
sar was black, a native of Saba, from
the east, and forty years old. The
youngest was Melchoir, from the south,
whose country was Tarshish. He was
twenty years old.
1mpelled by some mysterious power,
they dropped all the cares Of state and
followed single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeping
till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that Of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
The story does not stop here. It tells
circumstantially the after life Of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st.
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went out
to preach the doctrine of the Christ
They were slain, by barbarous gen.
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother Of Constantine, recovered their
sacred bones and took them to Con-
stantinople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post. :,

TELLS HOW TO NIX IT
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
y Remarkable Home Mixture

A we'll known authority on Rhe u
matism gives the readers Of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Karagon, one
ounce; Compound Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bed time.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm,
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, is taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to o"er-
come almost any case of Rhuematlsm.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimln-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
iurirg the stomach. While there are
many so called Rhuematism remedies
patent medicines, etc. some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neigh borhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately or the drug
gists here will mix the prescription
for our readers if asked to.
