Extra Clerks Employed for
Holiday Season
TRADE UNUSUALLY BRISK
Indications Are That People Are More
Prosperous Now Than in Several
Years-Rushine Women Stop to
Buy Things for Poor Children.

With Christmas only three days
distant, shoppers are turning out in
force every afternoon and evening
and practically all of the stores are
crowded with men. women and chill
dren seeking this and that for some
relative or friend. All of the larger
stores have pressed extra clerks into
service and yet every one of the
store employees is kept busy attend
ing 10 the wants OF the purchasers.
That this Christmas finds the peo-
pie generally in more prosperous
condition than it has in several years
is manifest on every side. The rush
has been on fer nearly week and
the merchants have done better
business than they have fer sometime.
Practically all Ct the stores have laid
in larger stocks this year than have
been displayed In several years and
the trade appears to have justified the
proprietors in their outlay for the
Christmas season.
While scores Ct well dressed women
and children are hurrying from store
to store every day to wind up their
Christmas buying. ragged little chill
den who probably never have known
Santa Claus and who face a desolate
Christmas season, are seen gazing
into windows at the pretty toys
and things that make glad the hearts
of the little tots. Earnets longing is
pictured on their countenances and
they can but excite the pity of the
passersby. Occasionally some of the
more generous hearted Of the shop
pers may stop and thrust a dime or
a quarter into the hands OF these
forlorn looking little children and tell
them to go into the store and buy
something. The children eagerly re-
spond and come out with their favor
tie toy and with beaming faces.
While the LEGAL lodge of Elks. the
Second Baptist church, the Salvation
Army and the Santa Claus Bureau
of the Associated Charities will make
provisions for many Of the poor little
children, some of those that are to be
seen daily gazing into shop windows
probably will be overlooked in the
rush or will not be heard of at ali and
unless the passersby donate their
mite to them they will go without on
Christmas day.

1T the Academy

An audience made up OF about two
dozen women and perhaps three times
as many men shivered through two
hours and half last night at the
Academy OF Music while Houden, the
man oi mystery" gave an exhibition
of his mysterious" powers.
In spite of the obstacles he had
to overcome, Houdon made good
with his audience. DIT. Cook probably
never encountered a much colder wave
In the frozen north than that which
swept across the Academy stage ana
chilled the spectators to the very mar
row. This cold wave naturally threw
something of a damper on the en-
thusiasm Ct the house. The size OF
the audience also probably was
against the performer. at least he
said II was.
Houdon gave some very interest
ing exhibitions OF his mystery" Prob
ably the most convincing OF all was
his finding" a man in the audience
whose face and features were imprint
ed on the mind Ct his subject" The
subject simply thought Of the seE-
eral outlines % this particular per
soa's face and Houdon caught the
impression by holding the left hand
OF the subject TO his forehead. No,
a word was spoken. but in a few
minutes the person in the audience
had been located by the performer.
Many questions which were written
on slips Of paper and folded and
placed IN two hats were answered BY
Hondon. The pieces q papers on
which the tae questions we're written
never were out q the sight Of the
audience. OF course some Of the
answers may have been wrong. bot

an acre for his corn crop, and perhaps
this $40 an acre farm is going to be
used to raise corn. Five per cent inter-
est on 1910 is only $1,000 an acre and
taxes even on such valuable land
added, will still have a margin. Stall
corn may not yield eighty bushels to

these editors be, to cry extravaganza
because some prosperous man added a

the matter is. notwithstanding the gem

Moines does not appreciate what the
state fair does for them each year, the
taxpayers of Iowa do not criticize this
expenditure of money for a permanent
improvement of this kind. More than
that Iowa is beginning to realize that
Minnesota having the general reputa-
ton of the biggest and best state fair
in the United States, and for that
matter, "the best agricultural horse
trot" in the world has every year got

ed 100000 population of course give a

should remember it is not grandstand

TRAFFIC ACROSS THE ,srHmus.

Traffic between the eastern and
western coasts of the United States by
way of Isthmus railways and steam
ship lines amounted to practically so
million dollars in value in 1905, {,
marked increase over any earlier year.
Two railway lines now carry freights
across the narrow neck of land con-
Meeting North and South America; one
at the Isthmus of Panama, the other
at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec One
of these railways, that of Panama, is
forty miles in length; the other, at
Tehuantepec, 100 miles. The one at
Panama, owned by the government, is.
of course. largely devoted to work and
traffic growing out of the construction
of the Panama canal; the one at Te-
huantepec, 100 miles in length, con-
structed chiefly with British capital
and controlled in part at least by the
Mexican government, is built especi-
ally for the purpose OF handling
freights between the Atlantic and Pa.
cific, and, altho opened only at the be-
ginning of 1907, carried during 1907 and
1908 between so and 70 million dollars
worth of merchandise passing between
the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the
United States.
Practically all of the sugar from the
10, J,1o
eastern ports of the United States is
now sent by this Tehuantepec route
instead of goinng around the Horn, as
formerly. The steamers carrying the
sugar from Hawaii to Salina Cruz at
the Pacific end of the Tehuantepec
route, pass, after discharging their
cargoes. to the north along the west
ern coast of the United States. touch
ing at the ports of Mexico, the United
States, and British Columbia, and
thence again to Hawaii.
The distances between New York and
San francisco by the two lines are: via
Panama, 5,305 miles; via Tehuantepec,
AIS miles; direct by shortest trans
continental railway line, 3,191 miles,
and by way of Magellan Straits, 1908
miles. From the Hawaiian Islands to
New York the distances are by way OF
San Francisco, 5,2Ss miles; by way of
Tehuantepec, 5,S0S miles; by way of
Panama, 6,6S6 miles, and by way OF
Magellan Straits, 1929 miles.
