INDIAN CONGRESS
IN SESSION AGAIN
OPENS WITH ENTIRE HARMONY
AND SESSION PROMISES TO
CLEAR THE POLITICAL ATMoS-
PHERE.

Madras, December 2s.-The Indian Ma
tional Congress was opened in this city to-
day, with 1000 delegates in attendance.
Emphatic approval Of the reform plans
for India advanced by Lord Morley. the
Indian secretary, was expressed.
The session today was entirely harmon
ious, and the meeting this year promises
to clear the air and put damper on the
activities of the agitators who recently
have caused much anxiety.
At the last meeting of the congress, just
year ago, opposition to the election OF
DR.. Behari Chose as president resulted
in a free fight, and was the cause of
the congress being indefinitely postponed.
Referring to the Morley reforms, DIR.
Chose declared today that they had
broken up the sinister clouds which had

and he said they would give India some
thing like constitutional government in

A Question.

If there isn't any Santa Claus, who is it
turns your feet
Toward the Shop where gifts are smiling
as you walk along the street?
Who is it sets you thinking, though you're
busy as can be,
About the songs and laughter round the
childrens Christmas tree?
Though you vow this Christmas bust
ness is a nuisance, anyhow
There's an influence at work that clears
the frowning from your brow;
The small tin trumpet sounds blast
that wakes your soul serene
To homage for the doll who is lady
and a queen.
And tho once prosaic world where it has
been your lot to dwell
Is realm of destinations meath some
mystic fairy spell!
If there isn't any Santa Claus, who is It,
day by day,
That turns our thoughts to Christmas
strive to shun it as we may?
Who comes at this bleak season armed
with telepathie arts
And by generous suggestion dominates
our minds and hearts?

FOUR NEGROES ARE
HELD FOR MURDER

Meridian, Miss, December 2S.-(Special)
With four negroes held as suspects and
the evidence accommodating against one of
them, the spirit of resentment engen-
dered among the people of Enterprise
and that vicinity as the result of the
killing OF Henry Brown there by an I'M
known negro Saturday night, is slightly
alayed. The prisoners are held in the
Quitman Jail and will be given a pre-
liminary hearing Wednesday.
Brown died from his wounds Sunday
morning after desperate effort by his
physicians to save MIN and was buried
Monday morning in the Odd Fellows GEM
etery there. w. III. Speed who was shot
in the cheek by the negro when he rushed
to the assistance of Mr.. Brown, is doing
nicely and no fear of his recovery is en-
tertained. Brown was about 50 years OF
age and is survived by a wife and four
small children. He carried some life in
surance but the exact amount could not
be learned.
A telephone message from Deputy Sher-
iff w. III. Davis at Enterprise last night
stated that he had arrested and placed
in the Qutman Jail Walter Hardaway,
Henry Hardaway, AID Hardaway and
Henry Tolson. Evidence, ne said, was
accommodating against Tolson. According
to Deputy Davis. the Hardaway negroes
were able to give fairly good account of
themselves and their whereabouts Satur-
day night, but Toson told conflicting
sicries and was greatly confused.
He was known to have been drinking
and to have been away from home about
the time of the shooting Excitement
had abated somewhat. Deputy Davis stat

seem relentless and determined to mete

located.

The First Holiday at Home.

What a wonderful variety is there to
be found in the first holiday that girl
spends at home after being off at board
ing school.
In the first place, there are so many
different kinds of girls. The girl, for in
stance, who comes home with a lot of
airs, just because she has been fortu-
nate enough to go to a fashionable school,
finds a very poor welcome from those at
home who have been expecting her and
locking lizard to her homecoming with
"a great deal of pleasure. This kind of
girl is so inflated with the sense of her
own importance, that her return for a
holiday vacation, is usually a severe dis
appointment. The boys and girls who
haven't been SO fortunate as to attend
school away from home are naturally
locking for affectaton in one who has
and they very quickly resent any dis
play of it,
Have you seen Birdie since she came
home from SCHOOL,"
Yes, and isn't she just too stuck up
and full of airs for any use," is little
bit OF by-play heard frequently during
the holiday season.
Again. there is the KIND OIL Slrl VINO linus
her home life very slow and disappoint-
ing after stay of several months in a
big city, and she is very much bored With
her surroundings, which used to be very
acceptable and happy. The growing indie
pendence which boarding schools gener-
ate, causes her to ungracefully adjust
herself to the "mother-idea' that reck-
ons her still little girl and always will.
The clever girl, and the one who will
have the real good time during her
Christmas holiday, is the girl who, II
she thinks herself superior to her old
schoolmates and friends, or has outgrown
the little girl stage which the fond
mother still cherishes, hides 1t, behind
a pleasant and cordial manner. and a
ha ppiness unfeigned at the idea of being
among those she loves and cherishes
once more.
The one thing that youth refuses to
stand for is, "frills.'
Later in life, social training may help
us to hide our opinion about such non
sense, but the young will have no
scruples about speaking their own mind.
and a sorry vacation is in store for the
girl who puts on airs

Bath Room Utility Box.

Utility boxes for shirt waists we have
had for some time. This year there is a
variation in the utility box, this one being
designed for use in the bath ROOM In
stead of being covered with cretonne or
mating it is enameled in white. Fitted
into the upper part is a tray, divided into
compartments, for holding extra bath
room supplies, such as soaps and wash
cloths, while the lower part is for the
towels. 1t is an excellent space saver,
especially IL one has not a linen closet.
