The remainder of the act showed
high order of hypnotic ability, the

work under the wand of Everton with
a quickness that was surprising He

sending one of his untried subjects
through the audience with a needle

Since his arrest EvertOn has re-
ceived many letters from former SUD-
jects and medical men expressing
their confidence in him and behei
that he is guiltless of any improper
work Everton said he would cah

at his trial.

now, but we will have them with the
improvement Of dairying and other
branches of farming. The making
and keeping Of good pastures will be
studied and worked at as carefully as
breeding and feeding.
In all sections where dairying in this
country has ben carried on for sever
al years the general thrift of the farm
ers is apparent. They are almost in
variably in at least comfortable cir
cumstances and their farms produc-
tive and well improved. There are
good reasons for this.
The farmer first of all, in dairying,
takes in money at frequent intervals
and turns it over often during the year.
Every week, or every month, at least,
he receives pay for his milk or cream,
which enables him to use the money
for buying feeds and other necessary
things connected with dairying, and to
hire adequate help. His money and
labor are not tied up for a year or
more at a time as is the case with
some crops and live stock growing.
Ready cash in hand makes any bus

necessity makes the business conser-

The living expenses of a family
amount to much. The dairyman pro-

needs, and by feeding the by-products
to poultry and pigs, he is able to pro-

half to one-fourth the cost at the
store, not counting the gains from
using an absolutely fresh and clean

One of the most important thing in
any farming is to maintain and in

other way can this be done as eco
nomically and regularly as in dairying

HYPNOTIST MUST
FACE HIS TRIAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Certain OF
acquittal, Arthur Everton, the hypno-
fist, who is charged with causing the
death of Robert Simpson, one of his
subjects, during a public exhibition OF
his powers at Somerville. N J.. will
face trial at that place today. Ever
ton declares that Simpsons death was
due to heart disease, and that Simpson
had been drinking heavily during the
day, unknown to the hypnOtist and
that this caused heart failure.
Vain attempts were made by sever
al physicians and hypnotists to arouse
the dead man, and it was not until
many hours had passed that Everton
subject was really deceased. Then he
was led away to Jail, where he re-
manned for ten days, when he was
released on a $4,000 bond. Since then
the hypnotist has been giving other
exhibitions similar to that which had
caused the death of Simpson. ''in or
der to get money! as they expressed
it, "to pay expenses of the legal pro-
ceedings in which l have become in
volved.'
Thompson, the boy who assisted Ev-
erson at Somervile. has been placed
in a capaleptic state. He is then
stretched across the backs of two
chairs, while Everton stands upon him
with the full weight of his body bear
ing down upon the rigid form of the
youth.
when time came for a repetition of
the act which caused the death of
Simpson the hypnotist said:
L have been charged with murder
as the result of what Il am about
to do, and yet I am perfectly willing
to do all that 1 did then, because ]
am sure that he was dead as soon as
he dropped upon the stage at Somer-
vile, and 1 merely used all my hyp-
motto powers to convince the physi-
clans that hypnotism had not killed
him and therefore it could not restore
him"
The Thompson boy then mounted a
chair and after a few passes by the
hypnotist he became perfectly rigid.
His head was then placed over the
other chair.

great day of days that even grown
ups have caught the fever, and have
began marking off the spaces on their
calendars, the same as the l-iddies
You just simply cannot escape the
holiday spirit when it gets as close as
this, for everywhere you go are the
green's and the holly, the bright faces
of the children and the hurrying steps
of their elders, the crowds of good
humored, jostling shoppers, turkeys
and big Christmas trees already in
the market houses, and in the shops
everything from gorgeous dolls, and
candies in Yuletide boxes down to
scarlet ribbons and stickers for tying
up packages.
In the shops the girls are tired, no
doubt, but each one feels the enerv
ating spirit of the season, just as
much as the weary but smiling moth
ers that trail past their counters all
more excited youngsters that cry out
with delight over every new thing
they see.
It's in the air, you know, and even
though the first of January, or Christ
mas eve, even finds us all physical and
mental wrecks, yet we are going ~ 60
through with it all next year again
and be Just as enthusiastic about it as
we are now.
Most of us have all our gifts in the
house by this time, and woe betide the
belated shopper that has still to pillow
her way through the stores for some
forgotten trif1e. Sensible women are
beginning more and more to get t.le

finish up during the second.
No Bulky Packages BY Mail.
These wise sisters. and the unwise,
too by this time, are beginning to
think of ways of sending out their
gifts. and doing them pattractively.
Of course, nobody wants to send
package that is not Christmasy look
ing but just how much it may be dec
Grated depends upon the manner in
which it is to reach it's destination.
1t is the part of wisdom, of course,
by mail Too heavy a package will
be severe drain on pocketbooks al
ready, perhaps, too much taxed, while
one that is laden with too many sprays
of holly will be awkward to handle
and so may possibly come to grief.
If you are particularly given to
sprays of holly, there is surely some
younger member of the family that
can be bribed to deliver your pack
ages for you, and for those that are
to be sent to too great distance you
can obtain all sorts of compact dec
orations that will make them as gay
as YOU can desire without rendering
them at all inconvenient to handle.
Certainly you would not care to
send a package that was not Christ
masy looking, for this would be to
argue yourself either quite hopelessly
behind the times. or else careless in
regard to little things that really count
a great deal
If you were to ornament your pack
age with all of the holiday trimmings
that the shops are showing, none of
the paper would show, for each year
people are clamoring for something
novel in the way of package decora-
ton, and the, new is displayed side by
side with the old, thus making quite
an array to choose from.

Sending Christmas Presents

we'll to buy your tissue paper by the
ream. for in this way you can get it
cheaper You are not supposed to put
your regular calling card inside, but
to use instead, one of the festive
Christmas cards that come in packages
of ten each Some of the most attrac-
tive of these have decoration of
poinsettia blossom, which is becom-
ing more and more to be looked upon
as the distinctive Christmas flower.
Tissue paper and scarlet baby rib
bons go without saying, of course, as
we'll as sprays of holly, but for those
of you that want something a little
ing holly paper ribbon. Frequently
the inner tissue paper is tied with real
ribbon, while the outer wrappings has
the pasted kind.
If you are tired of plain white paper
for your outside wrapping, you can
get the Fascinating holly wrapping pa
per for five cents a sheet, or for so
look more festive, almost more than
all the other holiday trimmings put
together.
Silver and gold Irvine comes for
those who do not care for ribbon at
all as a fastening, especially for the
outer wrapper when the package is to
be sent by mail.
If you want to put your gift in a
box. you may obtain one that has the
face of Santa Claus in the center, or
one that is holly covered This last
sells for five and ten cents each, and
may be obtained in many shapes and
sizes Holly coin boxes may also be
had for quarter apiece, and nests Of
boxes in sets of six and of nine.
Tags and Stickers.
To make the outside as Christmasy
looking as possible, ali sorts of tags
and stickers are shown. All sorts of
gay labels for the address, mucilaged
ready for sending, come in books OF
ten each, while tags, with the greet
ings of the season, and some in the
shape of a holly wreath, are equally
attractive.
Stickers are great aid in tying up
parcel These come in all sizes and
shapes, and with various sorts of deco
rations, such as holly sprays, red and
gold seals, Santa Claus. appropriate
greetings, Christmas trees and sprays
Of the poinsettia blossom.
If the package is not to be opened
until Christmas, labels bearing in red
or gilt letters the command, Not to
be opened until Christmas" may be
obtained for a trifling sum.
With all this variety to choose from,
there is no reason why even when your
package goes by mail, it should not
be as Christmasy as your heart can
desire.
