Dear sir--It gems a ghafpe to

In santa Claus by stores and DIFF
ferent charitable societies using
broadcast persons dressed In cos
tune for the collection Of money
and advertising purposeg.
In the OLD days, children used to
believe in the fables Of santa Claus
until they were eight or ten years
old. Nowadays even q child Of four
knows II II d myth for, as one
younester Of that akc exprossed bor-
self after seeing a dozen or more

The Marriage Question.

4 couple Of guests at the Spaldlne
were seated in the lobby Of the hotel
the other day engaged in earnest con-
versation upon the oft-dlscussed ques-
ton of marriage. says the Duluth Trl-
bune. One of them put it this way:
''Before man : married he q
dude: after marriage he : Subdued.
Before marriage he has no buttons on
his shirt. After marriage he has no
shirt at all. Before marriage he

themselves would have believed pos
sible Of their own strength and abil-
ity.
The Festival Chorus is rapidly ap-
preaching a degree Of finished and
artistic execution of the numbers
that are being rehearSed that reflects
not only the greatest credit on the
Conductor. Mr.. Brueschweiler, but
confirms the impression that is being
given all over the State that the
united and undivided support Of the
entire city Of Charleston is being
given to the Festival by every IN
dividual citizen, each helping in such
capacity as his talent and resources
give him the opportunity.
The more that is learned Of the
Russian Symphony Orchestra the
more fortunate the Musical Commit
tee feels in having been able to draw
this notable aggregation of musical
talent so far from New York City
the headquarters of the organization
which finances them-The Russian
Symphony Society.
The reports that come in are the
most favorable as the sources from
which they come are the more crit
ical, and the highest praise comes
, from those whose ability to appre-
ciate and recognize true musical tai
ent and artistic skill cannot be ques-
toned.
Herr Modest Altschuler, the Con-
ductor. is a man whose executive
ability and keen intellect give to his
musical nature the tone and balance
that render it possible for him to
produce the finished and artistic per-
formances that have excited the
praises Of half the continent, with an
orchestra so large that, however
great the musical development and
training Of the individual members,
the proper coordination on the part
Of each Of the fifty members is ab-
solutely necessary to give produc-
tions with a maximum of effect.
1t is perhaps in this latter capac-
ity that Modest Altschuler most ex-
GELS. AS a musician he is magnif-
cent, but ASA Conductor who plays on
musicians as a pianist strikes the
keys Of a piano, he is superb-per-
haps beyond comparison in this coun-
try. in the opinion of many excellent
critics.

REMINDER FOR THANKSGIVING
Custom of Placing Kernels Of Corr
at Each Plate is Observed in
Some Families.

Among some Massachusetts fami-
lies it is time-honored custom to
place few kernels of corn at each
cover of the Thanksgiving dinner-ta-
BILE in memory of the Pilgrims. These
kernels are eaten standing, before the
company sits down to enjoy the feast
1t is a short memorial service, but it
is a valuable jog to memory. while it
fixes an important historical fact in
the ohiidren's receptive minds.
In another Old New England home
where a family gathering has been
held for nearly a hundred years, and
now includes members of four gener-
ajions, Thanksgiving Day finds all the
quaint furnishings brought once more
to the front.
Some of the daughters or grand
daughters make it a point to 60 up

tie. The skillet, toaster and baker
rest on the hearth. On the broad

UOUS JOB AT WALLACE,
IDAHO, AND SEEK EASIER
FIELDS,

WALLACE, Idaho, May 3.-The
strenuous duties of pastorate in
Wallace has resulted in leaving
three flocks without shepherds.
The last to leave the field was
Rev. Allen McRae of the Baptist
church, who preached his last SER
mon Sunday evening. Pastors of
the Congregational and Episcopal
churches left several weeks ago.
The only preachers on the job
in Wallace are Rev. Father Beck
er, of the Catholic church, and
Rev. c. w. Williams, pastor of the
Methodist church.
Minister'S salaries in Wallace
are as large as anywhere in the
Northwest but the pace seems to
he too fast for the domines. Be-
sides attending to the usual pas
toral duties Wallace preachers are
expected to look after the floating
population, which is a feature OF
every mining country, and few OF
them have been equal to the task.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)

CORDOBA, Mex, May S.-Two
thousand laborers on the sugar
plantations of El Potrero district
are on strike today because the
plantation owners have threatened
to burn their homes If they did not
cease from taking innumerable hol-
idays. More than one hundred re-
ligious holidays are observed in
Mexico during the year and many of
them are occurring at the present
time when labor is sorely needed on
the farms. The owners are COM
planning of great loss through lack
of labor.
