Christmas Givinu,

The one feature of Christmastide
that cannot be overdone is the giving
OF comfort to the needy. Sometimes
It appears that the custom of ex.
changing gifts has it's questionable
side, in the increasing demands upon
slender purses and the cultivation of a
spirit of mendicancy in \servitors.
These matters, however, regulate
themselves, and probably little harm
Is done by the swelling of the spirit
Of generosity at this holy time. But
the relief of the poor and unfortunate
Is blessed work that can never work
injury to him who gives.

MAH new and interesting sur
- prise centerpieces have
been prepared to supple
lnent the Christmas tree and it's bur-
den of gifts. These surprise pieces are
intended to occupy the center of the
table when dinner is served, either on
christmas day or IT,. evening before,
and they supply good deal of merri.
ment as we'll as decoration. Their
decorative qualities are rare indeed.
1or they trim table deliberately and
more appropriately than an equal
quantity of flowers would.
Santa Claus is the prevailing motive
Tor these unique decorations, and one
OF the most attractive over which his
familiar form in miniature presides is
a basket laden with glistening white
snowballs from behind each of which
peers a smaller Santa Claus. In the
top of every SNOWFALL is stuck snrig
OF genuine holly, while nesting under
each white globe is quaint gift, some
times joke, or something Christmasv
and appropriate for the recipient. En-.
circling the high, rounded handle of
this basket is more holly, with real.
istic looking icicles fringing the inner
side Of the top. Around the basket
proper are rows of Christmas crack
ers" to add to the fun and the amuse-
ment of the occasion. These are GOV.
cred with red crepe paper to match
the basket, and broad satin ribbon
of the same shade is fastened on one
side of the handle This trimming has
Christmas sentiment done in gold
letters.
The idea of the Christmas surprise
decoration seems to be to hide the
gift as cleverly as possible. The Jack
Horner way is reproduced by using a
huge SNOWFALL instead of plum cake
or pumpkin and then concealing a gift
for each person inside the SNOWFALL,
with only bit of white ribbon break
ing through the crust to show it's hid
ing place. A mock Christmas pudding

Half dozen Polanders entered the
house of farmer named Bech in the
neighborhood Of Hottie, shot the farm
er himself to death and wounded his
wife and finally tied her to a chair.
When this was done they went thru
the house and picked up what money
and valuables they could lay hold of
and departed.
A remarkable case Of apparent
death is reported from the city hos
pital Of Copenhagen. A lady cut the
arteries on one of her hands with the
Intention of committing suicide. She
was taken to the hospital and placed
on the surgeons table, but the men in
charge Of the room told the physician
that he would not need to hurry be-
cause the woman had already bled to
death. When the physician finally
came into the room everything in
dicated that the woman was dead. The
blood no longer flowed from the sew
cred arteries, the woman's body was
cold, and there were no signs of
respiration or beating of the heart.
The physician set down to write the
death certificate. But something like
an intuition, which seemed useless and
even ridiculous, made him change his
mind, and he tied up the cash on the
woman's hand and began to work her
body. Whatever blood was left in
her was pressed back to the heart,
and the woman was brought back to
life after having been cold and ap-
parently dead for more than an hour.
There IS no reason why she should not
fully recover, and the loss of blood
will be made good in the course of
time.

against Il was so decisive and over

claimed that more equitable bill
would have met with approval. The
result cannot be interpreted IN any
other light than that the people o..
the state are not willing at this time
20 sell the school lands
The next thing is something else
Since the people have spoken so
