Xmas Suggestions
How to Be Happy
and Make Others So

| NUN 1 tnlnk tnat you are TOO poor
to keep Christmas. You can't be-
~ so poor as all that
Don't spend SO much on Christ
mas that you can't get even with the
butcher and grocer until March.
Don't give presents that are pleas
ure for ten minutes and burden and
a worry for ten years.
Don't. young women. buy neckties
for your men folk: don't encourage
them in being bigger guys than neces-
sary.
Don't give drum to the children OF
your enemy who works nights. A
watchman's rattle is Just as good, and
1t is cheaper.
Don't give your wife something she
doesn't care for just because you want
1t yourself. This don't" works the
other way just as well.
Don't forget that basket Of fruit or
a box of flowers is just as nice pres
ent in many cases as something that
will last good deal longer.
Don't try to find the price marks on
the gifts you receive. If the gifts are
worth having they mean something
above dollars and cents.
Don't forget the Bob Cratcbits and
the Tiny Tims-that is. unless you are
unregenerate Old Scrooge. in which
case forgetfulness can be explained.
Don't put off everything TO the last.
because you had better for the JOY of
your friends give nothing than wear
yourself out and be as cross as two
sticks when the blessed day comes.
Don't waste any of your pity on the
long haired youths who lie at the bot
tom of the heap in football scrim-
images. You will need all your pity for
yourself in the rush at the holiday
counter.
Don't check off each gift you receive
against each present that you gave
and calculate whether you made or
lost. Christmas Is not the time to be
any smaller or meaner than you can
help.
Don't oppress children who are sa-
tiated to sadness with toys already by
giving them more. There are other
ways of making them happy. or If
there are not it is because they -are
spoiled with many pleasures and are
the most pitiful beings alive. In that
case let them try doing something
for poor children. who are blessed In
powers of enjoyment. and see II the
capacity won't prove catching. ~
Don't neglect. If you are woman.
to lay In a stock of some simple things
like handkerchiefs and sachet bags for
unexpected emergencies II you like to
meet various people with reasonable
| token.
Don't set your own happiness up as
the chief thing to be looked out for at
Christmas time. Try to make other
people happy and forget yourself. then
you will be surprised to see how really
happy you are.
Don't give a book to man With
big library or a picture to the man
who makes a speciality of the fine arts
unless you know pretty well what he
wants. Ten to one he'd rather do the
buying Of such things for himself.
Don't write your name or anybody
else's on cards If you send them. No
one can keep lot OF such truck. and
1t Is often highly convenient just to
send them on their travels to carry
Christmas greeting to other people.
And why not Buffalo Express.

had come prepared with check books

CONNECTIONS for the holiday. but the
personal entertainment of As shiver-

not looked for.

FIRES IN SEPTEMBER
Six Alarms Called Department Dur
ing the Month.

The fire department had a busy
month during September compared
with the same month in previous
years. No less than Six alarms were
answered for the month in comparison
with single alarm in September of
1908 and three in the same month OF
1907.
The record for this year is as fol
lows:
September g. Residence of Thomas
Lawler, on Ninth avenue west near
the Anderson Bros. Canning factory.
Fire caused by gasoline stove. Slight
damage.
September IL. Roof of coke sheds
of Oskaloosa Gas Works, Third avenue
west, damaged by fire which probably
caught from engine sparks from the
Iowa Central tracks. Loss several
hundred dollars.
September Is. Fire in roof OF M
& M. Star Bottling WORKS caused from
sparks from @ railway engine. Slight
damage to roof.
September %. Fire at the residence
o. III. S. Woods No. 4Uz Third avenue
east. Caused by gasoline stove
Small loss.
September %. Fire at the e. J
Evans place west of the fair grounds
The burning of shock of hay threat
ened outbuildings. Loss small.
September 25. Incendiary fire start
ed in the old London Dairy property
No. 600 Third avenue west. Small
damage. ...... .
The one fire in September, 1908
did more damage than all of the fires
OF the same month this year combined
1t was the partial destruction of the
Iowa Central coal chutes, entailing {
loss of several thousnd dollars IL
burning of cars and building machin
cry.
In September of the preceding yea
the C. B. G @. round house and two
big engines were destroyed by tn
burning of the house, causing a los'
o. fully twenty-five thousand dollars
Hence, the September fire losses THU
year are far below those of previous
years, although the number OF alarms
was greater.

SEPTEMBER'S RECORD
Temperatures During the Month
Varied Considerably.

The month Of September was some
what warm, with the temperature
running little ABOVE the normal. The
month witnessed bit of frost in low
places, with no damage, but this can
not be taken as the general tempera-
ture, as some places did not show
freezing, while the low lands were
several degrees colder. The mercury
scared upon several days OF the
month to the ninety mark and a little
beyond. The lowest recorded tenn
perature of the month in the city OF
Oskaloosa was on the oath, when the
mercury went down to oo and the high
was on the 18th, with 80 degrees. The
average low of the month was 81 de-
gress and the average high was 7S.
The average mean temperature for the
thirty days was 67R.
The daily record of observation
makes an interesting study of the hot
and cool periods and is as follows:

AN EXPENSIVE SPREE.
It Cost One Of the Unfortunates Over
Fifty Dollars.

According to the records it cost one
o. the unfortunates $4.S5 for getting
drunk Saturday night. But the plain
blunt records in the Mayors office did
not tell all the story nor make the
figures large enough. .-... ...
When the said unfortunate was
taken to his bunk in the Jail, all valu.
ables on his person were taken by the
officers for safe keeping. 1t was known
that he had displayed roll, during
his spree, and a merchant who had
judgment against him attached the
valuables.
The judgment amounted to about
$35, and costs and interest for six
years amounted to about SIS more.
Among the "valuables" secured by the
officers was 800, and out of this the
judgment had to be satisfied. So by
adding to the fine the judgment and
costs, the spree cost the young man

SAYS VERDICT EXCESSIVE.
Newton Judge Cuts Down Award
Made BY Jury.

Newton, Ia, Oct. Judge Willcock-
son to-day notified the attorneys in the
case of Hughes against the Rock Is
land that he had decided to cut down
the verdict to $4,000 from the $4,000
awarded by the jury, or grant a new
trial to the railroad. He said that the
verdict was larger than the facts in
the case warranted.
Hughes is wealthy resident of
Stewart, Neb. He owns 500 acres of
land there. He was here on business
when he was caught under Rock Is
land train and his foot was so crushed
that the leg had to be anputated just
below the knee.
