The handy boy has his Christmas
problems as well as the girl. A boy
that can makethings out of wood is
more than lucky at this time OF the
year. Out of smooth thin pine which
ne may buy cheap at any wood
working establishment he may fashion
both useful ana artistic articles to
please all the members of the family.
The little tea table shown needs no
very elaborate description If when
finished 1t is painted a dull black 1t
will fit into mission room well. Brass
tacks or screws should be used to put
1t together If expense need not be
considered there are many beautiful
brass bits Of finishing that may be
found in most hardware stores. If
these are used the tea table should
be stained first and the ornaments put
in place afterwards. Don't scamp the
work but finish with sandpaper and
hard rubbing till the edges and sides
are perfectly smooth.
A Rack for the Kitchen.
This simple rack to hold kettle and
stewpan lids is a boon to any house
keeper. The shelf should be wide
enough to hold small articles Of
kitchen ware and the hooks below
may be used for cooking spoons. forks.
potato masher, and the many other
small articles that get in a tangle in
a drawer.
A Table Desk.
A more elaborate desk than the one
described may be made from the
smallest size kitchen table. Get one
with well turned legs and buy enough
narrow picture moulding to go around
the edge Of the top. Paint the mould
ing and the table in a dull finish
black. Any paint supply shop will
give advice as to this part OF the
work. Cover the top with felt tackled
perfectly smooth. Cut the, picture
moulding to mitre exactly at the cor
ners and fasten on with brass head
ed screws. re i1oles are made for the
screws before the moulding is painted
the work win look neater. A table
that has drawer is doubly valuable.
A Writing Desk.
This writing desk may be made out
Of a smooth, vel made box. The shelves
are fastened in on small cleats which
may be either glued into narrow
grooves made with a chisel, or tackled
in. The front should be made of a
heavier piece of board made very
smooth and fastened on with hinges.
Two heavy brass chains hold it in
position. When 1t is closed there should
be a brass lock to hold it fast. After
a thorough rubbing with sand paped.
Stain any desired color and glue a
piece of felt on the desk portion This
desk is only practicle where 1T is
possible to fasten permanently to the
wall with strong, large screws.

ALDERMAN And
REPORTER MIX
FIGHT AT CITY HALL IN CHICAGO
cAusE3 Al SENSATION.

Chicago. Dec. 15.- Excitement eniiv-
ened the session OF the Merriam COM
mission yesterday afternoon. when Al
derman Michael McInerney of the
Thirtieth ward and Eugene Quirk, a
reporter for a morning newspaper
fought a round hstic battle in the
council committee rooms on the second
floor of the city hall. Each suffered
slight cuts about the face.
Quirk and witnesses OF the AFFAIR de-
clare the alderman struck the first
blow The reporter returned the blow
and followed 1t up with couple more
for good measure. Alderman Cermak
and others stepped toward tie COM
batants, and then Quirk left the room,
acting, perhaps, on the old adage that
"He who fights and runs away may
live to fight another day"
1t is said hat the alderman mis-
took Quirk for man OF the name of
Callahan before striking him. He re-
fused to discuss the affair afterward.
Quirk at first threatened to have the
alderman arrested, but later said he
would let the matter drop.

tap nearly all day but on the extreme
decline wheat was absorbed by strong

whose purchases are generally for a
large milling company. The bears are
using the Improvement in the railroad
situation and the expected increase in
local receipts as a result of the ac-
emulation growing out OF the delayed
grain movement as a club to put the
market lower. 1t is probable that
this may have a sentimental effect,
bur we cannot see how ii can per-
manently weaken the legitimate situ-
alton. The bulk of this wheat to
come in has already been sold to ar

believe this feature of the market has
been pretty well discounted by the
present decline.
An improvement was reported In the

two days were large and there is no
question of theability Of the CONNER

The government report was bearish,

wheat crop 737,1s9,00O bushels, next
to the largest ever raised. Ii looks as
If the market had discounted these
figures before they came out as there
was a sharp rally afterwards. We be-
lieve the report will be forgotten in

situation is still strong.
