The Birth of Christ.

The exact date of the birth Of Christ
Is unknown. Among the early churches
there was no agreement as to the date
of the Nativity, some celebrating it in
April or May, others in January. Dec.
% can hardly be exact, for it falls in
the rainy season of Judea, when shep-
herds would not have been watching
their tlocks by night in the open. The
December date came into general OBJ
servance naturally. but gradually.
When the heather races Of the north
were Christianized they simply substi-
tuted for their Yule celebration in De-

WILL NOW Be GOOD
John WeIIenkamp Promises
Court to Live as He
Should.
LENIENCE is SHOWN HIM.

John Wellenkamp, the young jewel
er was very much tanned by his exper-
fence behind the bars of the city Jail
and this morning he expressed will
lingness to do anything the court
might direct If only he would not be
prosecuted on the charge Of public in
toxication. The court believed more
might be accomplished by giving Wei
lenkamp another chance and SO re-
leased him. The courts action was
not altogether free from requisites on
the part Of Wellenkamp. The young
man pledged he will be a total abstain
err, agreed to remain away from all sa-
looms, gave his word of honor he will
treat his wife with all love and re-
spect and lead an honorable and up
right life.
The case of Wellenkamp has been
one that is deplored by himself and
| frie nds. Last Thursday evening he be-
came intoxicated and when his wife
attempted to take him from a Main
street saloon he threatened her with
personal injury. She slapped him and
emonstrated and it became necessary
for the bartender to threaten to inter
fere before Wellenkamp desisted.
The couple has baby only a few
months old and the father has agreed
to make his home a model one in
which to rear his child He is held I'M
der bond of 500 to keep his promise
and so strict have the conditions been
made that to break them means prose
cution for the offense which now is
charged against him.

NEW METALLIC
MIRRORS IN EUROPE
viii Take the Place of Glass
Affairs.

Washington. May 3O.-The produc-
ton of metallic mirrors for search
lights and other such uses is now in
demand in Europe, according TO infor-
nation received at the war depart
ment. Those made of glass now used
are Objectionable, owing to their liza
bility to fracture when the guns are
fired on ships, and to the silvering on
mirrors blistering and separating from
the glass. A new metallic mirror
partially made by electro-deposition
is being introduced.

PICTURE OF MURDERER
ON WOMAN'S EYE

St. Louis, June 1.-The picture of
a bearded, crooked-nosed man, on
the eyeball of an unidentified MUIR
dered woman, whose body was TAX
en- from the Mississippi river near
Hartford, H., may be the clew to
the mystery.
The woman died from broken
neck and was not drowned, it was
shown at the autopsy in Alton by
DR.. L. A. Yerkes and Coroner
Stroeper. The absence of water in
the woman's lungs proved that she
was thrown in the river after she
was murdered.
The theory that the dying gaze Of
a murdered person upon the slayer
will fix a picture permanently on
the eye caused the authorities to
adopt this. in the absence of any
other Glow, in the effort to learn the
identity of the murderer. A photo
graph of the dead woman's retina
was made.

Engagement of Miss Marior-
lie Cook to Playwright
Reported.
FORMER RICHMOND GIRL.
SHE is THE DAUGHTER OF MR..
AND MRS. JOSEPH COOK AND is
TALENTED-SHE DENIES THE
REPORT.

According to a Chicago dispatch, it
is generally reported in that city that
the engagement of George AIDE, the
well known Indiana humorist and
playwright. to Miss Marjorie Cook, a
former Richmond young woman, who
has resided with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Cook in Chicago for sew
eral years, will be announced soon.
Mr.. AIDE is at the present time in New
York and has made no statement in re-
CARDS to his reported engagement. Miss
Cook denies the report, but her friends
insist that she and the noted humorist

most beautiful young women in Chi
cago. She has many admirers, among
them John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist
) for the Chicago Tribune and regarded
as Americas foremost cartOonist, and
she promises to take a prominent pO-
sitiOn in the world of letters.

stories to magazines. She has just re-
Gently completed a novel which will
| shortly be published by one of the
/ large New York publishing houses.

ed several flattering offers from theat-
rical managers. The late Richard
Mansfield at one time offered to make
| her his leading lady. Miss Cook has
repeatedly refused to adopt the stage
as a profession. The father of the
talented young woman, Mr.. Joseph

and his family left here several years
ago and went to Chicago. where he is
now engaged in the electrical supply
business.

graduating from Purdue university
Mr.. AIDE went to Chicago and engaged
in the newspaper business He wrote
several books of a humorous nature
and at once sprang into fame. Hi;
Fables in Slang" were perhaps a.
widely read as the famous MIR. Doc
ley articles. After making this sue
cess Mr.. AIDE turned his attention tt
dramatiZatiOn and repeated his success
in this line of literary effort. Among
the many musical comedies he ha
written are The Shotgun and "Pegg!
from Paris" THE County Chairman
and The College Widow" are alsc
from his pen.

TIE JUDGE AND TIE VTRAGO
An Ancient Joke Of Which There Are
Many Modern Versions.

An Ancient Joke Of Which There Are
Many Modern Versions.
The following tale was translated
from very old Chinese book for Col
lier's Weekly:
A certain magistrate upon opening
his court observed one of his lictors
whose face was covered with wounds
and asked him what was the matter.
Replied the iictor, Yesterday evening
l was reclining and enjoying the fresh
air under my grape arbor, which was
suddenly upset by gust Of wind and
fell on me and caused these injuries"
But the judge was skeptical and
said: THAT is too thin. 1t is easy to
see that the marks on your face are
from scratches from nails. 1t must be
that you have had row with your
wife and got a clawing from her. Is
this not SOP
The lictor crimsoned all over and re-
piled, Your honor has truly guessed
it."
Then said the judge: why is your
wife so fierce as this? Wait till l sum
mon her and give her a beating and
you your revenge"
While he was yet speaking the judges
own wife suddenly came out from th>
house and fiercely said, who is this
you are going to beatT
The magistrate hastily announced to
the lictors and ting chat tbs: This
court stands adjourned. Dispense in
stantly. 1t seems as though the courts
grape arbor is also about to collapse"
