AS SHE HAD BEEN ORDERED.
Domestic Cleared Everything Left
Over Out of the Ice Box.

There recently entered the service
of a Cleveland family a domestic of
Scandinavian origin. She had never
seen a refrigerator before, and the
lady of the house, after initiating her
into its mysteries, instructed her
never to leave anything old or left
over in the ice-box, but to keep the
refrigerator perfectly clean and fresh
by throwing the old things away each
morning.
The very next day the mistress,
looking out of the window, observed
something peculiar in the yard.
What is that, Sophie?" she asked.
"And how did it get there?"
THAT is old ice, ma'am," was the
proud response, left over from yes
terday. I t'rew it away lake you toll
me"-Harper's Weekly.

in that direction, but l guess yo

to be done? Can't we make a declar
alton of independence? My wife an.

til by the time we get through the
list we find we have sent more thar

I'm with you on two things
George; that is, that we economic
some on our expenditures, and thai
what we do spend shall be in a way
to bring most enjoyment to ourselves
by giving the most enjoyment to 9th
ers. Let's give, what we give out
side our own families, to those who
need it."
Il don't think follow you exactly
We'll, take myself, for instance
I am very fortunate if l get off with
hundred dollars. How much does
it cost you?"
q can't say definitely, but fully that
much,I should judge"
Suppose, then, we take our families
into the scheme with us and agree to
spend only $50 for ourselves. Then
we can spend $25 each for mum.
Der of worthy poor families who
are unable to provide for themselves,
out of the ordinary, yet too proud or
have too much self.respect to avail
themselves of the public charities on
that day. In that way We would be
$25 ahead, and at the same time be
able to furnish 10 or IS families with
a turkey and the other necessaries
for a good Christmas dinner, and
some candies and toys for the chill.

Broke Statue in Spite.

Mr.. Kitamura Naojira, sculptor Of
the marble statue of a female, priced
at $4,000 yen, which Is exhibited in
the Fine Arts building of the Toxic
exposition, proceeded to the exposi-
ton on June IL, at Z a. M, and de-
Iiberately knocked down the statue
and destroyed the head and arms
with an iron hammer, which he had
originally used in carving the figure.
The reason for this violent proceed
ing was that he considered that the
prize commissioners of the Toxic ex-
position had shown bias in their
awards, and were prone to confine
high testimonials to artists of their
own clique.-Japan Advertiser.

| gestions offered with the enthusiasm
and abandon of a lot of school boys.
While there was no posing as phil
anthropists, there was whole-sCuled
spirit of consideration shown for the
worthy unfortunate, that gave them
a much deeper insight into each 9TH
i. ers' characters and drew them into
closer bonds of sympathy than would
year of ordinary intercourse.
1t was found that after they had
all pledged themselves to the fund in
accordance with the rule laid down,
as to ability and percentage Of or
6inary expenditure, there would be
something over q hundred and fifty
dollars available.
1t being essential to the carrying
out of their plan that their families
should be interested, a meeting was
called for a subsequent evening at
the residence of Mr.. Corwin, at which
all were represented.
The ladies and other members of
the families entered into the move
ment with even more enthusiasm than
the originators. Before the labor was
completed of making out the list of
those to be aided and the various
things to be contributed to each one,
several meetings were required. More
enjoyment came from these meetings,
twice over, than If the money ex-
pended had been for gifts for them
selves.
The organization was kept secret
from the public, but at the laughing
suggestion of Mr.. Scott, adopted the
name: "The Associated Santa Claus"
With each basket, delivered late on
Christmas eve, at the door of various
homes, was an envelope addressed to
the recipient, containing a postal d.

Santa Claus May Be Little Slow But
Always Sure.


The old fiddler had been rasping
away since three o'clock for the chill
dren's party, and it was not till nearly
nine that he was told that they had
! danced enough, that he might go into
the buffers room TO get himself some
supper, that, in short he might go
home. But the old fiddler wanted no
supper. All he wanted was the SOY.
ereign he had to receive for his six
hours hard work. He was a bent,
threadbare, worn, old fiddler, but
when he left the great house his feet
i seemed to spring beneath him.
With his fiddle tucked under his
arm, he set out for home, chuckling
within himself for very Joy.
At the corner there was a toy-shop

home-up the long, creaking staircase
up and up, till a shrill voice greeted
him.
Did you meet Santa CLAUSE said
the little voice.
"Yes, met him at the corner" said
the fiddler. And he told me to give
you this"

man slyly. But not quite. Santa

WOLVES ARE KILLING CATTLE
Lemhi County Wants Bounty Raised
by Legislature.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 2.-CitiZens OF
Lemhi county are anxious that law
be passed by the present Legislature
providing a bounty on wolves. These
animals are annoying Stockmen to an
unusual degree in many sections OF
the country.
1t is claimed by residents there that
the bounty of IS now being offered by
Montana is driving the wolves into
Idaho and that unless something is
done soon they will become such a
menace to the stock industry that it
will cause great loss.
In a letter received by the repre-
sentatives of Lemhi IT states that the
wolves have almost compelled horse
cattle and sheep men to give up bust
ness. One man says that he has lost
AZ cattle killed by wolves since last
spring.
The letter also states that wolves
are causing great havoc among the
deer, which are caught and throttled
in the deep snow.

for dear life. while he spun around.
He also yelled at the top of his voice.

WIDDOWSON MUST FIGHT.
Defense in Baker City Murder Case
Must Submit Testimony.

BAKER CITY. Ore, Feb. 2.-After
lengthy arguments on a motion for
direct verdict for Alex Widdowson in
the Moody murder case. Judge Smith
decided last night that the defense
would have to submit their testimony.
and the trial was resumed this morn
ing.
The session was occupied with the
testimony of Ed Burns. WiddOwson.s
partner. and Cleve Reed, lover of Mrs
Whitaker, the accused mans former
hOuSekeeper.
In Burns testimony it was brought
out that WiddOwsOn was with his
partner most of the Saturday evening
, on which it is suspected the crime was
committed. the witness stating that he
was not separated for more than Is
minutes between $50 and s o'clock.
At $3.50 Widdowson returned home
and retired, according to Reed, who
was at the house. Reed slept in the
sitting room of Widdowson's house that
night and because of the carpetless
stairs and thin partitions he believes
he would have been able to hear Wild
dowson had be come down again after
going to bed
Burns explained the mystery of the
belief of Widdowson that he had lost
his gun, the weapon which the state
contends was one which ended the life
Of Moody. This morning he said that
upon his partner returning from Cor
nucopia he (Burns) went to the stable
and saw the gun sticking out from un-
der the cushion on the seat of the rig.
He took the gun and put it away in his
own house. and forgot to return it to
WiddowsOn for four or five days. In
the meantime Widdowson had come to
believe he had lost it in COrnucopia.
