An Attractive Gift for a Girl to
Make

One of the incest things which a girl
can make for a Christmas gift is a
photograph frame. For this two rect
angles of cardboard are necessary. One
of these should be covered with white
crepe paper. Before putting on the
cover, however, cut an oval large
enough to show the photograph tOwa9d
the lower edge and to one side or the
cardboard rectangle. Then put on the
paper and paste the edges neatly over

another message to the world.
AT an anti-military meeting al

stoy's appear to the people was read

Tolstoy appeals to the good sense of
the worlds people to refuse to serve as
soldiers, either voluntarily or under

The message appeals not to govern

less on Sandbar Near
Chicago

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Rain and sleet,
driven by a wind that at times regis
tered forty-eight miles an hour,
marked the storm that has ragged all
day on Lake Michigan and through
out the Great Lakes region.
Only a few vessels braved the gi-
gantic waves. In the morning the
government life saving crews answered
an appeal for help from the crew of
the freighter Boston, which, after
battling all night on the way from
Milwaukee, was thrown rudderless and
beyond control upon a sand bar near
Wilmette, a suburb north of Chicago
Eight of the crew of eighteen men
elected to leave the VI 5sel, which was
fast on the sand, and were taken by
the life savers to shore.
Three steamers, the Puritan, the City
of Benton Harbor and the Missouri
left Chicago harbor during the day,
barely escaping serious damage by be-
ing dashed against the end of the pier.
The government forecasts a con-
tinuance of the storm throughout the
night, with snow and lower temper
ature.
Much anxiety is felt for vessels
known to be out of reach of safe har-
bors.

If any work was being done in this sec
tion.
Mr.. Taylor was impressed with the
theory that the men cut off in the Sec
ond gallery might have found their
way into the gallery below, where
there is no fire, and ordered its ex-
ploration.
I'm this gallery-the lowest of the
mine-there is ain irregular shaft, dis
tinct from the gallery.
"If men who were in this part of the
mine thought of the overcast or irregu-
lar shaft and were able to reach 1t
they are probably alive now" said Mr.,
Taylor. "In the gallery proper there
is much water, but we hope that it is
not so high but that rescuers can make
their way through it,"
Rescuers who carried up twenty-three
bodies today said there was evidence
that the men had walled themselves in
for several days, but had emerged to
seek food and water and had met
death in the black damp.
Could See Refuge
At point beyond where the search
ers had gone several declared they
could see the shattered blocking of a
pocket Wn6T6 the men Ale1O SdhCiA
refuge.
The bodies are scattered along the
gallery for many yards.
Men who found them believed the
victims collapsed from weakness or
asphyxiation before gding fifty yards
toward the entrance.
Some bodies were burned, and it is
probable that of the twenty-three not
all had been in the pocket. The exist
ence of the refuge was denied by other
members of the party.
The tenseness Of the nerves of the
rescuers is shown by a remarkable
incident this afternoon.
A man who proved to have been dead
many days was believed to be alive
when brought to the surface and was
rushed to the hospital car. A mistake,
however, soon became apparent.
An opening to the third vein, or
lowest level OF the ST. Paul mine. was
forced tonight. The removal of bodies
or the rescue of scores believed to be
imprisoned in the vein will begin be-
fore daylight.

HEROIC EFFORTS MADE
TO RESCUE SURVIVORS
tBy Associated Press.i

CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. %. = Fire
IA broke out with renewed vi
" olence in the second gallery of
the St. Paul mine early today and
now threatens to spread to the
main shaft. All work of rescue
has ceased, while the entire work
ing force is fighting the fire.
Should the main shaft be in
iured materially by the fire. all
hope of aiding those in the mine
for many days will be ended.
CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 22-Enorts to
reach men possibly still alive in the
ST. Paul mine were made in two di-
rections today-east and west.
In the latter section the attempt
was made at the third or bottom gal
lery, at the earnest request of Duncan
Mcdonald, president of the United
Mine Workers of Illinois, and nine
other officials of the organization.
The gloom of the situation here was
accentuated today by the weather.
Rain fell all night and In the torenoon
turned to snow. Almost no relatives
of the missing were at the scene.
Efforts to explore under ground con-
tinued with unabated vigor Dozens
of volunteers worked against the most
exasperating odds to extend their ex-
nlorations. Earth and coal were re-
moved only to be followed by another
cavern.
s'They're still alive down there" was
the watchword of every worker, al
though evidence of this was meager.
The first ray of hope came when
men at work in the east workings
broke through a fall of earth where 1T
had been expected by experts that a
large number of bodies would be
found. -
Not one was discovered. Instead a
fool closet, hewed out of the earth, a
great many mining implements were
found as laid down, apparently, when
the men came there to eat.
A fact regarded as significant was
that not dinner pail remained. From
this it was argued that the men, un-
able to escape when the fire was dis
covered, retreated to some extremity
of the mine. carrying their food with
them.
Next Ray of Hope
The next ray of hope came with the
discovery that the bottommost gallery,
west, was not sufficiently flooded to i'm
pede progress. 1t was this section of
the mine that formed the subject of
the conference between the union and
Manager Taylor. The delegation, head
ed by President Mcdonald, insisted
that an attempt be made to explore the

HUGHES |NAUGURA1[D
Governor OF New York Induct-
ed Into Office tor Sec
ond Time
HE TALKS OF GOVERNMENT
Discusses Influences That Arc Tend
ing Toward Truth and Justice
Among Men-Government the Organ
Of Community and to Maintain Our
Collective Rights.

Albany, NJ Y. Jan. 1.-Governor
Charles E. Hughes was today indicted
for the second term as chief executive
|.of New York. In the course Of his
inaugural address Hughes said;
Government is merely the organ OF
the community to secure the basis OF
peace and order essential to individual
liberty and opportunity; also to main
tain collective rights which can not
otherwise be safeguarded. Our de-
pendence for progress is not chiefly
upon governmental agencies, but upon
the virtues of sobriety, industry, thrift
and moderation; upon the realization
of our mutual dependence; upon the
gradual supplanting of motives of
mere self-reliance by those inspired
by appeals to brotherhood the infiu-
ences contributing to this develop
ment multiply more rapidly and are
more potent than those to which they
are opposed. In many groups notable
in their variety but dominated by the
same spirit, our citizens are devoting
themselves to endeavors Of philan-
thropy and to do the work of education
and moral enlightenment. 1t is thru
these efforts so largely humble and
obscure that the community is vivified
by wholesome influences and that truth
and Justice extend their victories"

MRS. ERB'S STORY
Prosecutor Brings Out Evidence That
Strengthens Theory of Defense in
Murder Trial.

Media, Pa, Dec 31.-The first story
of the part Mrs. Florence Erb played
in the tragedy that raade her widow
and, with her sister, Mrs. Catherine
Beisel, a defendant, charged with the
murder of Capt. j. Clayton Erb, was
told to a jury in thei- trial here today.
1t was related by Eugene F. White,
deputy coroner of Delaware county, one
of the first officials to arrive at the Erb
home ON the night Erb was slain.
Mrs. Erb told me-" he testified,
.that she was pass ng the captains
bedroom and that he opened the door
and called her vile names. This caused
a discussion between ls and a fuss that
was overheard by the servants she
said. I picked up a vase from the table
lin the hallway, and threw it at him
and hit him. I also threw a clrspidor
at him. 1 then went to my room and
telephoned for my sister to come over
from the hotel. She did SO, and after
reaching the house she went to the
sitting room on the second floor. I went
to the bathroom. AS came from the
bath room the capita. appeared with
a pistol My sister, fearing he would
shoot me, came from the sitting room
and grappled with HIM. That is all
know about it," Tho brought out by
the court prosecutor in examining the
witness, this is considered the most inn
portent by defendants counsel as ma
terially Strengthening their cause.

The Cow Quarantine.

Chicago, Jan. Cow jobbers are
recounting the financial hardships they
suffered on account Of the eastern
quarantine. Some Of their experiences
seem absurd. One man started load
Of COWS, with a New Jersey destination,
before the quarantine was declared.
The stock was stopped at the New
York line and sent thence to Cincin-
natl, ordinarily a good COW market,
but as enroute to Buffalo it had passed
thru Michigan yardage facilities were
refused at Cincinnati and the shipper
was compelled to rent feed lot and
told big cows pending developments.
Finally, on Dec. Is the consignment
with another that had been bumped
around the country In similar fashion
was returned to the Chicago yards.
This bovine tour cost the shipper $29
rer head, or about so per cent of the
value of the shipment, and as he had
no voice whatever in shaping the junk
ct he is insisting that the railroads
handling the stuff stand some of the
cost, which they will probably refuse
to do. This is but one instance of the
n1uddle created in shipping circles by
the quarantine.

December Hoo Run Liaht.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-December's hog
run in the west is much lighter than
expected. This will throw, lot of
hogs into the January market that
were expected to arrive this month and
the marketward movement during the
first few weeks Of 1909 will afford an
index as to the number of hogs avail
able for the winter crop still in grow
ers' hands. A fact not to be ignored
is that while supply has been numer-
ically heavy the run is deficient in
pounds Of product and as no conten-
ton is made that more than the usual
number of hogs are back packers are
justified in feeling concerned regarding
summer stocks. If so they are success
fully concealing it. Lard stocks have
not increased In proportion to the hog
run and packers admit that they are
not accommodating regular stuff in sea-
sonable quantities while they are pill
ing up English cuts owing to the pro-
fusion of light hogs reaching market.
Scarcity of lard will necessitate in
creased consumption Of lard com.
pounds. The argument has been adj
vanced right along that as the season
advanced hogs would come heavier,
but Nhis seems to have been fall
lacy.
