THE CHRISTMAS BARReL

In a family where there are no children
and none to be borrowed from near rela-
tives, they devised this method Of distrih-
uting these gifts. The day before Christ~
mas a barrel covered with crepe paper wac
placed .n the reception hall. 1t was ted
around with red ribbon and greens, end
each member of the family placed his par
cells within. AT breakfast 1t was rolled
in the dining room and the contents dis
closed by the one whose lot 1t was to per-
form the pleasant task. This honor was
etermined by two candy canes, one long,
one short, the man who drew the long one
officiating as Santa 6,lans.'' This is nos
much trouble, and Infinitely better thaa
just the ordinary giving things.

DON'T FORGET.

That a Christmas letter is
sometimes more acceptable thar
the costliest of gifts.
That a gift n day late loses its
value about one-half.
That in buying gifts each in
diVidual's taste should be con-
sldered.
That what you want yourself
isn't necessarily what your
friends want.
That to dig up a present at
the last moment for the friend
who brings you one is o OF
an insult thar anything else.
That even IL o disapprove
of Christmas you should enter
into the spirit of the day for
the sake of those around you.

BURTON is A DEMOCRAT.
Former Kansas Senator Will Support
the Nominee at Denver.

DENVER, July 5.-The accession of
Ex- United States Senator J. R. Burton
of Kansas, to the ranks of the Demo
cratic party, at least for the next cam
paign, was announced today. Mr.. Bur
ton came in with the Kansas delegation,
and while not delegate, mingled freely
with the Democrats of that state. He
lost no time in stating his intention of
supporting the nominee of the Denver
convention, and expressed the opinion
that the honor of that nomination would
be awarded to Mr.. Bryan.
81 won IT, he said Support Taft,
secured through. the use of patronage,
and I regard the use of patronage as
the most corrupting thing in govern
ment. I would not support Repub-
lican or Democrat or anybody who
was nominated as Mr.. Taft was, by the
misuse of public Office. The supreme
question is, shall we have a democracy
or a despotism. Roosevelt has made
more progress for autocracy in this
country than all the other presidents
we ever had, and less for democracy.
He has given us political trust that
is thousand times more dangerous
than all the commercial trusts, and the
first trust to be busted is the political
trust. That trust is founded on patron
age, and it can be destroyed only by
destroying patronage just as Mr.. Bryan
said yesterday the paramount question
is whether or not this government shall
be controlled by political oligarchy
or by the people. The tariff and all
other questions fall into insignifcance
when compared with this question of
the use of patronage. For this reason
if for no other I shall support the
nominee of the Democratic conven-
ton. -

HER PERFECT RIGHT ARM.

In speaking of the death of Anna
Haverla nd, the German actress, ORES.
den paper says that "she was beauti-
full, had an imposing presence, must
cal voice, possessed all the qualities of
a great actress and had a right arm of
perfect FORM The writer adds that
when Professor Schilling was modelling
the gigantic statue of Germania which
stands at Niederwald on the Rhine he
sought for months for a model for the
right arm Of the figure, and hundreds
of women were anxious to pose, for the
right hand was to bear the imperial
crown of Germany. "One evening"
so goes the story, "Schilling went to
the royal theater to see Haverland as
Thusnelda, and when, in one scene, she
raised her barred right arm over her
head the sculptor rushed from his box
to the stage and said to the actress:
you must give me your right arm-it
must hold on high the German crown.
Consent was easily obtained, and so
long as Germania keeps her watch on
the Rhine the name of Anna Haver-
land will be remembered. !"

BUILD HOUSES WITH coRNcoBs

In some parts of Europe eorncobs
are used for building purposes. The
eobs are collected and taken to fac
tory where heavy congresses crush and
mold them into blocks of various sizes
INST as bricks are variously nodded.
These blocks are then bound with wire
so as to make them hold together
They are then soaked in tar to make
them water-tight, and are ready for
use after this treatment. Of course,
they are much lighter than bricks, are
always dry and make good houses. This
is but one of the very many ways in
which Europe shows greater economy
than America does. There is little
over there which goes to waste. Even
the refuse and garbage Of Paris is
made to serve purpose by being burn
ed and converted into power.

ENTERTAINMENTS ON
THE BIC BATTLEsHIPs

Chaplain Evans presided at the en-
tertainment aboard the U. S. S. Min
nesota, in the roadstead, on Wednesday
| evening. This was under the auspices
of the Seamen s Institute and Mr.
Everton was leader of the party, TAX
ing the launch at the Alakea street
landing at O'Clock. Some, of the
others were Revs. Bliss and Hall of the
St. Andrew s cathedral clergy, Mr.. Pot
wine, Mr.. Minchin and Mr.. Towse.
On the Minnesota are more than 1000
men, her roster outnumbering that of
even the flagship by over 100. The
crew massed forward, where ladies of
the feet and officers of the ship had
seats. The audience seemed vast one
to the visitors, including, as it did,
practically every man on the ship who
could attend.
The battleship band and orchestra
gave number of spirited selections,
after which Mr.. Towse gave an illus
trated address on Hawaii. The speaker
dwelt especially on characteristics and
features of the Territory and its in
habitants such as perhaps would not
be observed in hurried trips ashore, and
was listened to with close attention.
At the suggestion of Chaplain Evans,
the speakers from ashore and the Sea-
men IS Institute were given hearty
vote of thanks, to which Mr.. Everton
gracefully responded. Captain Hub
bard and other officers and the ladies
expressed appreciation.
The Minnesota carries one of the two
best stereopticons in the Pacific Ocean.
It's sister is at Oahu College, Homo
lulu. They have the moving picture,
Kaleidoscope and microscopic attach
ments. Almost as complete as these
two is the sflantern' on the Virginia.
After the talk on the Islands, the
eoxswain of the Minnesota machine,
under the direction of Chaplain Evans,
displayed on the screen about 1000 feet
of film, covering various countries, ad-
ventures and "play acting" 1t was
| nearly eleven clock when Mr.. Ever
! ton and his people left the Minnesota
for the city.
On Tuesday evening Paul Super, Sec
rotary of the Y. NJ. c. A, was chief
of a boarding party to the flagship
Connecticut, then lying at the Oceanic
wharf. The company included Mrs.
Mackall, Miss Clark, Mrs. Bieknell,
Mrs. D. F. Thrum, Miss Towse, Miss
/ Sprinks. the Warren brothers (two),
Miss Ray Bell. Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Buck
| land, Mr. Towse and others. Of course,
| Mr.. Super was master of ceremonies,
and, in addition, contributed as a fea-
ture one of his piano specialties Mrs.
| Mackall stood on a ditty box and sang
two numbers and was encored. Miss
Clark was at the piano. Miss Bell and
! Miss Sprinks each recited twice. One
of the Warren brothers played and sang
and the other gave two monologues,
and, as the sporting editor might say,
chad everybody going. Mrs. Bick-
nell played the piano, concluding with
! ssLa Paloma,'' with variations, and
was cheered. Mr.. Towse gave ten
minute talk on "Fifteen Years in Ha-
| waii'
There were about $50 officers and
men in attendance on the Connecticut
for the Y. NJ. c. A. affair, and they
evineed warm approval of Mr.. Super 5
