served so WELL

had one passion that predominated it
was his love for the Confederate SOL

fought. He attended every reunion
and was one Of their leading spirits.
IN peace he was true man, the
loyal friend, and in his death the
state loses one of her best and most
prominent citizens.

ROOscvclt's Booze Lost.

In Washington more than few

New York. When he arrived here he
could find no traces whatever of
that jug OF corn "licker" he sent to
the President last week, and whose
troubles, it seems, are not over yet,
Whether that was the reason Of his
quick departure cannot be stated
but certain 1t is that the "licker" is
not mere, and the major has gone.
Careful search for both was insti-
tuted in the White House to-day, but
no 'licker" and no major.

The Irish Potato and the King.
(The Circle.)


A funny story is told of how the
French people learned to eat cooked
potatoes. Some one had sent
quantity of potatoes to the mayor of
Mons, in Belgium, and he wanted to
send rare gift to the king of
France, of whom the mayor was very
fond. So he sent the king a whole
sack of potatoes. That would be q
strange gift to send o king of to-day,
wouldn't it? Well, that was what
the mayor sent-a sack Of potatoes.
Then King Henry II of France
thought he would have a great feast.
So he invited the lords and ladies of
his court to partake Of this very rare
dish. which in France they call POM
me de terre. That means "apple of
the earth"
When the potatoes were brought
to the table, everybody showed great
interest and excitement. Finally the
king tasted the new dish once, then
twce, and, without saying a word, he
passed the potatoes on. Each guest
did as the king had done-tasted the
potatoes and passed them on in ST.
lence.
What do you suppose had happen
ed? Why, the potatoes were not
cooked. They had been served raw
with dressing on them. After the
feast the king had every potato in
the sack thrown out of Paris.
Some weeks later number of SOL
diers were camping near the fortifi-
cations Of the city. They had built
a camp fire around which they were
sitting and eating. Suddenly they
noticed very delicious odor that
came from the glowing ashes of the
fire. They raked about in the ashes
with sticks to see what caused such
an appetizing odor, and they raked
out the potatoes which had been
thrown away by the king. You see
the soldiers had built their fire on
the potatoes, and the heat had roast
ed the vegetables, which the soldiers
tasted and found so good that they
ate them all.
When the king Of France heard of
the feast the soldiers had, he sent for
some more p6tatoes and gave ano-
ther feast. This time the potatoes
were cooked, and every one enjoyed
them very much.

"SANTA CLAUS" MAIL HEAVY.
Letters Addressed to Him Will Be
Returned to Senders.

Washington, Dec. 17.--Postmaste
General Meyer to-day announced that
he would not renew his order issued
in December, 1907, permitting deliv-
cry to charitable organizations Of
letters addressed to Santa Claus"
Numerous complaints have been
made to the Postmaster General by
many charitable organizations that
owing to the large number Of such
letters taken by the various chari-
ties while the order was in force, It
was not possible to investigate each
case, and that the presents given out
fell into the hands of unworthy per-
sons. The practice was also objected
to on the ground that it tended to
make beggars of children.
The Postmaster General has di-
rected postmasters to treat the San
ia Claus letters in accordance with
those sections of the postal laws
which provide that letters bearing fic-
titious addresses shall be sent to the
division of dead letters unless the
address of the sender appear on the
envelope, in which case the letters
Will be- returned to such addresses.
1t is estimated that more than fifty
thousand letters are addressed by the
children of the country to Santa
Claus annually

candidate, Chain, ran 1924 votes
