Society is empty. Both the men and

world-Mrs. David Lindenborn
The Jeffersonian lifts the hat to Mrs
Lindenborn. We glory in her spirit and
spunk.
The law of her own nature ordered
her to higher and better things than the
inanities the designations, the debase-
ments of High Society, and she obeyed.
The Smart Set, throughout the civil
lied world, is an abomination in the eyes
of God and man. Their lives answer no
divine purpose. Their existence is that
of the ulcer which spreads contamination.
The very fact that we have Smart Set,
is but the evidence of social disease.
God never made a true man, or a true
woman, who could be happy in idleness-
who could be self-complacent while
Sinking every responsibility, every duty.
The human creatures who see nothing
in life executing drinking, gambling

of women; when we see Smart Set wo-
man, whose sole aim in life seems to be
the alluring of men, we can not but re-
call the terrible indictment which Juvenal
brought against the rotten aristocracy of
Rome.
Unless we can do away with the class
laws from which these idle-rich have
sprung, our republic will invite some
other Gibbon to lay before future ages
the shameful story of our Decline and
Fall"

and dissimulation. Their owners make

were the programs presented at both
the Methodist and Baptist churches.
The churches were beautifully deco

the Baptist church was the usual
Christmas tree, tastefully trimmed
with all sorts Of Christmas trinkets.
Instead of the tree at the Methodist
church was the Christmas cross.

Incredible as it may seem," said the detective, there are many shoplifters who steal by the agency of the onion.

GRAPHIC or any other newspaper.

We desire to call the attention of all our subscribers to paragraph of Section 436 Postal Laws and Rcgua- tlOnS:
 "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to se- cure eua oa % & out uness are paid within the following periods: Daies, THREE MONTHS, weeklies within NINE MONTHS they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers and copies mailed account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at second-class postage ratc.''
 The foregoing law is self-explanatory It makes it absolutely binding on the Graphic to stop every sub scrption to the Graphic that is past due nine months and daily subscriber that is past due three months un less renewed within reasonable time The regulations went into effect January 1908 but owing to the fact that no previous notice had been given publishers have been granted reasonable time to notify all such subscribers and give them chance to renew before stopping their paper.

 The chicken hawk of the west is a savage and dangerous enemy, but once one of these air pirates got worsted. was sitting in front of the doctors of flee when hawk shot down with won derful rapidity of wlng-so fast that Its shadow seemed hardly to reach the earth before It's body. It bounced upon the doctors favorite kitten, which lay asleep on the grass, and made off with 1t. At an elevation of about fifty feet puss recovered from Its surprise and went to work for liberty It's feline mind was exercised to astonishment and wrath. Twisting like weasel, Its claws came uppermost, and to my straining gaze sight presented itself much like a feather bed being ripped open in midair. The amazed hawk received new light on the subject of prey, let go and made off like a badly plucked goose, but the cat came safely to earth-on it's feet.

What a Hatpin Revealed.

A certain large millinery establish ment makes speciality of women's trimmed hats at $5 and $lO. It is cut ting largely into the trade of the small. CT high priced dealers. A short time ago woman of fashion went into the establishment mentioned and tried on several hats, but found none to suit her. Before going out she missed q valuable hatpin. A careful search failed to bring it to light, and it's dis appearance remained a mystery. \ few days later the customer, still look ing for a suitable hat, visited one oi the expensive millinery shops in the city. Among the hats shown to hc! none of which was priced lower than $35, was one that closely resembled
 ne of the hats she had tried on in the

Umbrellas In Battle

It Is conceivable that the officers o, Wellington's day thought him a terri ole old bully. He actually forbade umbrellas in battle. He expected them not only to expose and sacrifice their lives at the word of command. but ac- tually to risk the furnishing of their beautiful uniforms in the rain whic,l fell during a battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadiers sheltering under a forest of umbrellas and sent off Lord H1ll with this message: Lord Weling ton does not approve of the use of um- brellas during the enemy's firing and ~tll not allow the 'Gentlemens Sons
 make themselves ridiculous in the
 of the army" After the battle
 mel Tynling was reprimanded by
 duke for permitting the offensc
 the great man, 'The guards in form may. when on duty at St James, carry umbrellas if they please, but in the field it Is not only ridiculous but unmilitary." Let 1t not be forgot ten, however, that the delinquents, dandies though they were, proved themselves among the bravest when fighting was going on.-St. James Ga Rette.

Lions and Fowl.

"There is a peculiar thing abou: lions," said a hunter who has trapped big game in Africa for menageries. ''They will not eat the flesh of flow! You might tempt them with canvas back duck or the daintiest squab. but they would refuse it. I remember once having swan which had broken its wing We killed it, dressed it care fully and threw it into the cage of thu lions, but they would not touch it. and 1t finally had to be taken out and thrown away. I have repeatedly put pigeons alive into the cage just to set what they would do. 1 have thrown grain down among the lions and the pigeons have actually got down and hopped around the big brutes. ever hopping on their backs, the lions mak, ing no attempt to disturb them, even seeming to enjoy their companionship.

Slanq of Other Days.

Slang has always been a fruitful source for the expansion of language, and instances may be multiplied of words now respectable which were once taboced as vulgarisms. But, on the other hand. there have been many slang phrases in use for centuries which have never become acceptable to the purists. As long ago as 175O the celebrated letter writer Horace Wal pole used to speak of sitting guzzling' and getting drunk as an owl" Then again in the diary of one of the most prominent woman writers of the eight eenth century, Frances Burney, ars found good slang phrases of the Amer lean college girl of today, as, for In stance, q sneaked out" Did you ever know such toad?" and "I had . vile cold."-St. Louis Republic.
