FOUR GENERATIONS AT CHRISTMAS DINNER
A Happy Reunion at Home of MT. and
 Mrs. M. M. Jackson.

A particularly pretty Christmas re- union was held at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Malie NJ Jackson on the Christy road yesterday. Mir. and Mrs. Jackson are pioneers ir this valley. They have lived here since January '. 1878. There were no railroads into this country at that time so that their journey from their former home in Arkansas occupied three months.
 Four generations were seated about the Christmas dinner yesterday as fol- lows. daughters and a son. Mrs. E. Irvine: Mir and Mrs. A. J. Bellas. MT. and Mrs. w. A. Bondurant of Los An geles, Cal; MT. and Mrs. Eugene Jack son.
 Grand children. Ed. Jamie. Roy. Syl- van, Evangeline and Amelia Irvine: Imogene and Bryon Bellas: Milly. Carol and Romie Bondurant: Gladys. Victor. Jewell and Malie Jackson. Great grand children. Elizabeth. Jack. Alethia and Sylvan Lindsey of Los Angeles.
 Other guests who did not come under any of the three foregoing heads were Mrs. J. A. Locke of Denver. John Lind : sey of Los Angeles and Emery and Horace Van Kirk
 It had been expected that another 1 daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. J. O. Case. wife of Professor Case of the Jerome schools would be present with her four children but she was un- able to come.
 AS for the Christmas nothing need be said for enough could not be said. In short. it included all the conven- tial delicacies and all that the bounte- ousness of this valley could contribute.

|v|TlL STATISTICS
 FOR THIRD QUARTER
Births and Deaths in Arizona and Some
 Analysis of the Figures.

Arizona is making some headway against fate regardless of help from the outside. She will eventually dou- bIe her population at the present rate, even without immigration, but it will take a long hard pull. for during the third quarter of 1909 6Se for her vali- ant sons and daughters passed away. as again 7Is who were born. The diff ference is not large. but it IS on the right side of the ledger. The casual reader ought not to jump to con- clusion too suddenly, however, for it is well known that large percentage of those who die here come here in the last stages of disease seeking re- lief.
 The vital statistics for the third quarter have all been compiled by pr. Godfrey, who has charge of that bureau of the Arizona government. and the figures herewith presented are se- cured from him. The birth figures being the most cheerful to contem plate arc given first.

JOYFUL CHRISTMAS
 AT CR|TTENToM HOME
And There Are No More Appreciative
 Persons. in the World.

The Florence Crittenton Home and roof. had a merry, merry Christmas and they want the world to know about it.. to know how happy they are that so many of the good people of the world not only thought about them but put their thoughts into expressive ac- tion. Miss Celia F.. King. the matron and her mother Mrs. R. l.. King. who is her assistant in the work, both said last night that a more grateful family circle cqaIld not be found anywhere than those assembled to return thanks for the goodness in human hearts. So much is heard of human weakness and human wickedness it is only fair that something should be said occasionally of human goodness.
 Among the largest and most useful gifts was that of the New York store which gave each inmate of the home a warm and comfortable coat. some thing that will be gratifying not for a single day but for months to come. The Phoenix Fruit Commission and Produce company sent a box of oranges; D. Donofrio and Geore Simo box of confectionery. Phoenix lodge No. 335 B. P. Q. Elks not only substan- italy remembered the home as an in stitution but made an individual pres ent to each of it's inmates. Mir. and Mrs. George Hageman donated a fine porcelain bath tub. wash bowl and the work of installation and, the Emondine sewing club served the home with a fine course dinner.
 Others who made pleasing contribu tions were Chas. J. Sanichas; Wetz- ler's grocery store: Griebers grocery store; G. P. Bullard; the Phoenix Fur niture company: MT. and Mrs F. T Alkire; A H. Barber: Mrs. Wnerry: Mrs. Leo Goldman; Mrs. Oberfelder: Miss Nellie E. Battin; Mrs. Chas. M. Woodcock and Mrs. Gibson. and the Home board also remembered person ally each individual under it's care
 There were still another lot of don ors who requested that their names be not made public for one reason or an other and the request will be observed but their kindnesses are known within the home and they may rest assured they will not soon be forgotten. But those who placed no prohibition on the use of their names. are mentioned for the reason that the home management wants the public to know just how grateful it is for these remembrances and wants to he somewhat specific in its offering of thanks publicly as well as privately.

ROUGH FINGERS.

The bane of the average sewer or embroiderer is the roughened first finger. This is particularly trying when one Is using embroidery silks which catch and roughen easily.
 To keep the hands in good condition wash them carefully before beginning work and rub off all roughness with a fine pumice stone. Then wash off with little acetic acid, which can be bought at any drug store. If this is not at hand. good cider vinegar answers the same purpose and makes the skin soft and smooth.-Philadel- phia star.

Four Years In Pen.

There is a coincidence in the excite
ment of last night, for it was at this
very same house a few years ago that
robber broke in when Rev. Brandt
occupied the house. The man stole
a revolver among other things and was
caught that night in a box car on the
levee. He got four years in the peni-
tertiary and Miller will probably get
the same sentence for his piece of
work.
When found this morning Miller's
teeth We're chattering and he could
hardly walk from the chill he had
taken during the night and the eX-
haustion from his wound.
Had Miller not been discovered be-
meath the bed by Miss Litzrodt, but
had he remained there until all the
household was asleep, the house would
likely have been looted during the
night
Whether or not he tells the truth
of being alone in the venture, is a
question. Today the officers were
looking for any suspicious strangers in
the city.

NEW PLANS
FOR MEMBERSHIP
Y. M. C. A. Membership Committee
Getting Ready for Their Spring
Campaign, to Be Held Soon.

| Mr.. T.. A. Hamill and his co-workers
on the membership committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association
have decided on some new plans of in
terest to the large number of Asso-
tciation members in Keokuk. They
have formulated brief policy as a
basis of future work the principle
features Of which are these:
That the Association exists not only
for its members, but also through the
voluntary, combined efforts of its
members. Each man or boy joining
not only expects to receive many ben
efits, but also obligates himself to
render any and every service possible
that the organization and it's work
may be advanced. Membership in
the Association is open to self-respect-
ing men. eighteen years Of age and
over, and to boys of similar character
twelve to seventeen years of age in
elusive. Membership is not trans
ferable from man to man, but is, from
one Association to another A mem
bership continues from year to year
| (annual dues being paid) unless the
member notifies the Association off
GERS promptly of his desire to discon
| tinIe his membership.
| The Committee has been investiga
ting 70: some time the matter OF
membership fees, and that inquiry
has shown the committee that the
present fees charged were lower thar
of other Associations in Iowa an6
other states, some of whom cannot
furnish as valuable privileges as the
| Keokuk Association. 1t will also be
interesting and instructive to know
membership rates man or boy pays
only about one third the cost Of his
membership privileges.
/ The committee has also concluded
that the man who continues a mem
Der from year to year is entitled tt
some consideration in the way Of &
reduced fee, and has therefore decid
ed that on and after April lst the,
will charge on Entrance fee 20 all new
members, in addition to the presen
annual dues, as follows: Boys, 81 90
Senior Regular members, s100; Semi
or Full members, S150; so that al
ne wmembers joiningafter April Is
will pay $500 for boys membership
$500 for a Senior Regular member
ship and $500 for a Senior Full mem
bership But all present and futur,
members who pay their annual due
within Is days after the renewal dat,
may do so at the reduced rates Of
Boys, $500; Senior Regular, $500
Senior Full, $3.50. Of course al
