Ism In even a child's point Of view.
Not long ago heard two girls Of six
and seven talking on a country road.
They were children whose parents
were amply able to give them what
ever they thought best for them to
have. The first child said: How can
we make some money? tell you
what, Mary, we must sell your radishes
as soon as they are ripe" Mary an
swered sadly: II wish Aunt Susan
were here. She buys radishes like the
dickens" Now. these children at this
early age were Disseminated with their
weekly allowance and. finding that
they could not get more from their par
ents, decided to sell to the neighbors,
and their parents, wishing them to de-
velop themselves and to learn by ex-
perience, did not prevent their doing

A Great Blast.

One of the largest blasts ever fired
in France was discharged recently at
the quartZite quarries at Cherbourg
and is said to have displaced 100000
tons of stone. A tunnel measuring six
feet wide and six feet high was driven
into the face Of the cliff for a distance
of seventy feet, and at it's end two
branch tunnels, each twenty feet long,
were driven to the right and left re-
spectively. These branches ended In
chambers forty feet apart and seventy
feet from the face of the cliff and
measuring each 10 feet by feet by 6
feet. The chambers were charged with
eight and half tons of blasting pow
der and $50 pounds of dynamite, and
the blast was fired electrically. The
quartzite obtained from this quarry
finds much favor In England as a road

THE EIGHTH WONDER.

Hudson River Bridge to Be an Ex.
traordinary c:ructure.
Tne magnitude OF Tao projected Hud-
son river bridge does not at first strike
the unthinking person, but when 1t
does strike it comes with GREATNESS,
aerial significance. 1t will be the
eighth wonder of the world. and the
eyes of foreign engineers are turned to
New York with expectancy.
The plans of the new structure are
practically those of the original North
river project. 1t was long step from
a LOO foot span Chen and still the
longest In the world to over 5000 feet.
the distance to be covered between the
piers on either side of the broad Hud-
son. To make bridge almost double
the length of the Brooklyn bridge
meant building the towers nearly twice
as high, and in order to allow for addi-
tional roadways and tracks the bridge
of double length must be also twice as
wide. Thus the proposition involved
was really very much more than build
ing bridge with double length span
sidered. making the entire structure
nearly eight times as large as the
, Brooklyn bridge.
At first other engineers were loatt
to believe that modern materials made
possible SO great bridge. But the en-
tire profession is now agreed that thu
bridge is possible and practicable, an(

vary between $35,oOo,OOO and $4,000,

tracks and the CARRYING capacity desig
mated. These figures do not include th'
cost Of approaches or right of way.
1t is an astonishing feat that is con
templated, this of suspending between
steel towers distant more than half
mile eight great railway tracks ant
1 four driveways, says Charles H. Coch
rane in the New Broadway Magazine
AS triumph of engineering the worl
will have no equal. There will be fou
stupendous towers at the piers, eacl

To Build Artificial I.Iand.

The war department has determined
upon plans for the building of an arti-
fcial island at the entrance to Chesa-
peake bay. This island will be built up
from submerged ledge and will be
made sufficiently large to contain. be-
sides a battery to command the APP
proach to the bays entrance, quarters
and barracks for men and a parade
ground for drill, together with suita-
BILE stOrehouses for provisions and ar0.

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE
OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. THE ma
jority of the fashionable set is back
in town for the holidays. Those
who remained in the country for
Thanksgiving have returned to the
city and opened up their town
houses and will be kept busy till
long after Christmas, for the social
calendar is full of weddings, recep.
lions and dances, not to mention
the two operas that attract a brill
liant gatherings every evening. The
reopening of the big mansions on
Fifth avenue gives the necessary
touch to the fashionable quarter to
make it seem alive and gay. After
many months of quiet, the big shut
tiers have been removed from the
windows, lights once more shine
within, while carriages and autos
again draw up before the doors.
But the holiday spirit is by no
means confined to the wealthy class
alone, it is everywhere apparent.
And although it seems customary in
every circle to talk hard times, -
still the shops seem as crowded as
ever with early CHI istmas shoppers.
AS usual all the stores are urging
customers to buy early in order to
avoid the rush that always exists
Christmas week, but the majority of
New Workers like the hustle and
hustle of waiting till the last min
ute before making their purchases,
so that it is probable that this year
will be no exception.
Before the clergy had really fin-
ished criticising President Roose-
velt's action in removing the re-
ligicus motto from the $40 gold
pieces, the board O. education gave
the ministers and practically every
Catholic and Protestant in the city
new cause for religious agitation.
At the urgent request of the Jewish
rabbits who sent committee to
wait upon them, Cor the purpose of
eliminating all sectarianism from
the schools, an order was issued to
the principals ami teachers forbid
ding them to hold any Christmas
exercises in which 1t was necessary
to mention the name of Christ OF
Christmas. This. of course, at once
eliminated also the Christmas car

WILL NOT PASS ON QUESTION.
United States Supreme Court Silent on
Important Damage Case.

Washington, April lin an opinion by
Justice Harlan the supreme court of the
United States has refused to answer a
question asked by the circuit court of
appeals for the 8th circuit in the case of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road Co. VS.. Edgard s. Williamson of
Robertson, Mo, involving the question of
liability for damages to the caretakerS of
live stock who sustain injuries through
negligence of railroad employees while
riding free. The reason given for the re-
fuSa1 to consider was the fact that the
question so mixes the facts with the law
in the case to remove it from the rule
governing the submission of questions to
the supreme court by courts of appeal
Williamson, who was in charge of two
cars of cattle in transportation from Rob-
ertSon to Chicago in 1903 was injured in
an accident alleged to have been caused
by the negligence of the railroad men.

railroad company resisted on the ground

The case was appealed by the railroad
company to the court of appeals, and
that tribunal certified its question to the
supreme court. The question set forth
that the owner had held the option to go
with the cattle or not, and asked whether
in view of this fact and in view of the
further facts that, without requirement
or restraint" had agreed that the COM
pany should not be held liable for dam
ages, the company could be compelled to
pay under the law.

THE JUDGslENF OF SOLOMON.
Judge Simon Used It in Settling
.SWearIngen Bradshaw Dog Case.

= Proprietary interests in pups.Fof the
genus SDitz,'' was one of the ques-
lions Which occupied the attention of
Judge Simon in the court of Topeka
Trajectory testimony had been pre-
sented Judge Simon rendered a judg-
ment of the Solomon order and par
titioned the ownership of the two
pups in question between the contest
ing parties.
Frank Swearingen, the jeweller,
and Charles Bradshaw, a negro living
at No. 213 West Fifth street, were
the parties to the dispute over the
pups.
From the testimony in the case it
appeared that when Mr.. Swearingen
discovered he had an interest in a lit
ter of Spitz; pups that were in the pos
session of Bradshaw he told the latter
that he was indebted to him to the
extent of $40. Bradshaw denied the
Indebtedness but was willing to COM
promise matters by giving Mr.. Swear
ingen one of the pups Mr.. Swearin-
gen wanted two pups.
EsBoth sides admitted this much in
the case but their stories disagreed
considerab bly, on other points. Brad
shaw said that he had not thought
much of the value of the pups until
Mr. Swearingen set UP his claim to his
interest in them. Before that he was
going to give them to his friends but
he changed his mind when Mr.. Swear
ingen told him that the dogs were
worth forty dollars each. He agreed
to give Mr.. Swearingen one of the
pups but refused to meet his demand
for two of them.
When Mr.. Swearingen took the
stand he declared that he had only
placed the value of the pups at from
SIS to SO each and he said that Brad
shaw had agreed to give him two of
them. At any rate, Mr.. Swearingen
went to Bradshaw's house when the
latter was not there and took two of
the pups. He said he did this with the
consent and knowledge of Bradsha VS.
uncle.
Bradshaw replevined the two pups
taken by Mr.. Swearingen and got
possession of them again and the case
before the court this morning was for
the purpose of determining the own
ership of the pups in question.
Judge Simon rendered Judgment
that one of the pups was the property
of Mr.. Swearingen and fixed its value
at $40
