A Word to Wise Women.

Have You purchased any of your pres
ents for Christmas, 1909? Have you
thought about what you will give to any
u those persons with whom you ex-
change holiday reminders? The time is
at hand for giving this matter your seri-
Gus attention. Christmas is only TWEEN
" weeks away, and if you are to save
mat holiday gifts should be receiving
some OF your attention. A great many
people consider Christmas a bugbear
season because they put off making their

Mrs. Tennyson, who was a minister
daughter, was woman of feryent piety.
And she was widely known for her kind
ness of heart. 1t is related that the UNI
scrupulous boys would beat dogs under
her windows. knowing that the gentle
lady would thus be induced to purchase

keen sense of humor. which made her
room a paradise for the children. She
had many animal pets, among them a

Vermont.


A young married woman was arrested
in Burlington, confined in jail. tried
sentenced, with fine and full costs
for attempting to abduct her 15-mOnths-
old girl babe, after she had vainly plead
ed for it's keeping, from the Home for
Destitute Children, where it had been
placed without her knowledge or consent
through the action of relatives with
whom she had left it in order to give
herself opportunity to 60 out into
neighboring town and earn support for
its maintenance. Her husband was also
arrested and is now in Jail under a thir-
ty days sentence for aiding and abetting
her in the affair
Whether this woman was technically
guilty of disobeying some law of the
state | know not; but this | do know,
that the mother of a babe does not pore
over the statutes of the state, especially
such statutes as ours, before allowing
herself to be so strongly guided by the
material instinct which the Almighty
has implanted in her breast. that she
will not hesitate TO snatch her babe from
the care of any ''institution in Burling-
tom in order to press it to the bosom
which nature designed as its resting
place.

has been vindicatedl When its officer.

deputies, laid his hands upon that wom-

she had attempted cOncealment, and tore
that babe from her arms. we had sub
lime proof of how the law of Vermont
asserts its supremacy. We are not told
whether she was shackled when they led
her back to quarters in the Jail but we
have written to the proper officers for "A
copy OF the warrant under which she
was arrested, and we are wondering
whether or not she pleaded guilty to the
crime Of loving her babe. even when that
love expressed so strongly as to cause
her to snatch it frcps its duly numbered
couch. press it to her bosom, and dash
up the bed of Potash Brook!
Centuries ago before ChaInplain Saw
the July SHOWS upon our Green mountain
peaks, here lived and loved another race
OF beings" simple, untaught. primal in

the Aborigines, the Indians-some called
them Savages. But, although they would
draw the Scalping knife across the fore
lock of fallen foe, they were never so
skilled in extreme barbarism as to con-
slider it q crime for a mother to love her
babe
But times are changed. they tell us.
and we have changed with them. In

SHORT STORY
THE WRONCDOER
BY Frank "A. Williams.

As the door ominously closed be-
hind him and he heard the lock
click, Harry Askew realized. with
something approaching a feeling OF
fear. that he had entered the wrong
door The spot where he stood was
In total darkness, but he had the
feeling Of something alive and dead.
ly near him. In little panic, which
he could not control. he turned
frantically 20 the door and fumbled
over IL. endeavoring to find and un.
fasten the lock. The lock he found
in a moment. but his efforts to I'M

himself beyond any doubt that exit
through this was was impossible.

oeived a pencil OF light lining the
bottom OF door. Even as he
looked he saw the door open and a
gigantic negro entered the lighted
room. The negro then was the per.
son whose presence Harry had felt.
The mere knowledge that human
beings were in the room ahead OF
him. gave Harry renewed courage,
and he bounded into the room.
The scene which met his glance
was odd I'm the extreme. Seated be-
fore an open fire was an extremely
pretty young woman-'attired In
overalls. Near her stood the negro
whom Harry had seen. and the big
black was slowly waving n peacock
fan over the woman's head. For a
