The gloom of the police station
and courtroom where offenders are
daily meted justice for their crimes
was yesterday transformed into a
mission place where several hundred
dollars worth of provisions, cloth
ing and Christmas presents were
brought together and through the
agencies of the department distribu-

The articles distributed represent
ed the contributions of parties who
annually make donations for the
Christmas occasion, but do so In such
a manner that the names of the don
ors are never known to the public.
For the past several years this dis
tribution has been made through the
police department. and in this the
Salvation Army has heartily coop
Grated in supplying many OF the
names OF those who should be re-
membered. The work Is entirely sep
arated from the Salvation Army
Christmas distribution. but the close
relationship between the Salvation
Army and the police department
brings the two organizations togeth-

The GROWING desire in the life of OLD

to obtain possession of the beautiful
meadow which lies just between Baum
gartner's property and the railroad sta
ton The property in question was in
herited by Sarah Pressed, very pretty

father so many times that the property
became known as "Baumgartners
the porch ,of the store, old Baumgartnerr
always declared that the property would
some day be his. At length Baumgartner
came to realize that his only hope OF
obtaining the property would be through

popularly known. is ratified d., of by his
siow-going youth, who is never first first. In
the race for anything. He is fair haired,
docile. always led by his father. OF
rather angelic disposition Is he-a gentle
and kind youth who seems not to under
stand anything about strife and compe-
tition. Thus he appears utterly incapaci-
tated to win in any contest of love or
life Sarah Pressed is quite the opposite
of Seffy. Her hair is nearly red. She is
all life and animation and can jump
fences like wild colt and she is grace
and color itself Her one fault Is very
high temper. Baumgartner gives Seffy
some lessons in courtship.
