A Cure for All Evils.

In certain parts of Worcestershire
and Staffordshire, in England, the idea
prevails that a silver coin from the
Christmas morning offertory is SOW
ereign remedy for any III that human
flesh is heir to. Accordingly, any
householder who happens to have an
ailing child or other person in the
house HES him to the clergyman of
the parish on Christmas morning. and
asks as favor sacrament shilling.
The coin given In exchange has to be
obtaiped by collecting dozen pennies
from as many different maidens. and
then changing the coppers for a silver
shilling, For this coin the applicant
receives the coveted sacrament shil-
ling, which, on being taken home. is
hung round the ailing ones neck. and
Is popularity supposed to effect rapid
and complete cure of the complaint.
no matter what 1t may be.

Where the Toys Are Made.

In Germany whole villages are de-
voted to the production of Christmas
toys. and their busiest time is just
about midsummer. BY the end of Au-
gust the receiving depots are crammed
with Christmas clowns and Christmas
mechanical puppets. Christmas drums
and wooden horses-children's Christ
mas presents, in fact, OF all sorts and
kinds And the travellers start out
east, west, north and south with their
Christmas samples about the time the
corn is ready for the sickles of the
reapers. In Holland, too, where more
than one town is devoted. more or
less, to the making of Christmas dolls,
the same rule holds good During
May, June. July and August every
man, woman and child in these places
seem in some way to be occupied with
the manufacture OF miniature babies
even at school during these particular
months the sewing lessons are taken
with dolls clothes for models.

"HaIcyon DAYS.

'erally expected by those who are in
position to know that 3 large syrup
mill will be built in that locality by
the st. Louis Syrup and Preserving
Company, which will be a very i'm
portant step in the development of
the valley.
The greater portion of the tract
bought by Mr.. Clymer will be planted
with sugar-cane, although Mr.. Clymer
will devote a portion of the land to
truck farming
Mr. Clymer returned yesterday to
st. Louis, where he will at once take
up the matter of the construction of
syrup mill on the land he has pur-
chased, with the board of directors
of his company AS to the probable
cost and capacity of the mill, Mr.
Clymer was unable to give any def
mite information until after the mat
ter had been acted upon by the board
of directors.
This sale was made through J L.
Bruce, the well known representative
of the Paul Jones real estate company

Five Burned to Death.

Nashville, Tenn.-Five persons were
killed in a fire that destroyed brick
apartment house in Jefferson street
Several others were rescued after
narrow escapes. Two negroes were
crested on suspicion of knowing
something OF the fire. The dead:
Moses Fishman, aged %.
Mrs. Dora Fishman, his wife.
Rosie Fishman. aged IA.
Rachel Markeson, aged 16.
Mrs Rosie A. Fishman, aged so.
The fire broke out while the in
mates were asleep. So great a head
way had it gained when discovered
and so intense was the excitement
that no organized attempt at rescue
was made for some minutes after the
fire companies had arrived on the
scene.
Four persons were carried out from
one apartment before it was discov-
cred that none OF the members OF the
Fishman family had been accounted
for. Efforts to enter their apartment
we're frustrated by the flames. The
entire family persisted and with them
died Miss Markeson, who lived in the
same apartment.

then 1t was too late for all of them
to save themselves. But about half
the number managed to escape,
though many of them escaped with
many injuries, some of which may
prove fatal. The engine on the

cars comprising the work train and in
this way fifteen MeXicans beside:
several section men who were il

and it was several hours before theI

Parade One Mile Long.

Wichita.-One hundred and fifty of
the finest horses in Kansas, Oklahoma
and other neighboring state in a par
ade more than mile in length, will
be one of the features of the two
days horse show, Friday and Satur-

will pass through the principal streets
each morning, starting promptly at
1920 a. m.
Entries have been coming in thick
and fast the last few days, and alraeuy
considerably over one hundred horses
are entered. A number of local peo-
pie who intend to enter have not as
yet done so, and there is little Ques-
tioE but that the total entries will ex-
coed the one hundred and fifty mark
at the time of closing.
9his first Wichita horse show will
unquestionably be one of the big
events of the year. Interest is reach
ing a high pitch all over the state.
and those who know say the showing
OF horses is going to be well up to-
ward the big eastern exhibits, even
this year. The entire show will take
place at the fair grounds.
