Practical Christmas Gifts,

A woman who diffuses more good
cheer among the poor each Christ
mas than any of her neighbors, who
are many times more blessed with
worldly goods than she, says she man
ages by means Of her "poor box" In
her storeroom is large covered box
in which she places garments and
various articles no longer needed in
the household, but which still retain
possibilities for usefulness. These
things are carefully repaired, cleaned
and pressed, and given where she
thinks they are most needed. They
are as carefully done up and marked
as any of her gifts, and each pack
age always contains at least one
new addition, fruit or nuts, or per-
haps a new handkerchief, to add it's
freshness to the rest of the contents,
Thus she gladdens many hearts with
what most people hang IN the attic
or sen for few cents to the rag man,

Obituary--Mr. Robert GIennOn.

On the evening of Nov. "a, 1909,
at his home in the village of Potosi,
the spirit of this estimable man passed
silently from earth.
Mr. Robert Glennon was born in
County Westmeath, ireland, Feb. z,
1920, aud came to the United States
in 1S4S, landing at Philadelphia.
At Lewiston, Pa. Nov. IS, 1855 he
was married to Miss Anna McGirk,
who still survives him. aud came to
Wisconsin in 1857, settling in Water
loo townhsip where they resided until
1900 when they removed to the present
home
At the time of their first settlement
an Waterloo town. their home was
almost a solitary location in the wild
woods, but by industry, frugality and
perseverance they made it a delight
full home surrounded by the beauties
of nature, and giving to the house
hold many of the comforts and lux
uries of life. 1t was a home en-
deared to their family and friends by
the sweet Christian influences of fond
parents never by them to be forgotten.
Mr. GleDnon in religion was Catho-
lie and ever remained a true and
faithful follower of chat Savior who
was his guide aud example in the
paths of life, and in whom he put his
trust.
In by-gone years it was the privil-
eye of the writer to enjoy the hospi
taIity of that home. Friends were
greeted with a loving smile and a
warm grasp of the hand babe them
welcome.
He still lives, fadeless and death
less, in loving hearts, we still think
of him among the living. Not as in
this sad and sorrowing world but
changed to an immortal life in that
better land where he awaits the COM
ing Of his loved ones and sorruwin g
friends.
~sThere is no death. The stars 60 down
To rise upon fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens eternal crown
They shine forever more"
Mr.. Glennon enjoyed the respect of
3 large circle of neighbors and
friends, many of whom are far away.
They will learn of his death with
deepest sorrow and regret.
The immediate family who survive
him are Mrs. Glennon. his wife. Mrs.
Joseph Huntimer, of Dell Rapids, S.
D. j; Mrs. Leo Meysembourg. of Lam
caster; Winnifred and Katherine. at
home; Robert and Mrs. Joseph Pink
of Potsoi, and James of Waterloo.

The young couple was attended by
Miss Eveline Laid. of Pine Knob, and

Mrs. Eugene Croft and Miss Croft,

The bride is one of our most &C
complished young ladies and will be
missed at the Bethlehem church, and
young peoples meetings. The groom
is from Lancaster and is stranger to
most of us, but gives the impression
of a refined young gentleman. and
we certainly congratulate him upon
his excellent wise choice of a help
mate.
The young couple left on the after
noon train for their home near Ian
caster where they will reside upon
the groom's farm.
The Chronicle, together with their
many friends, join in wishing them

CURTAIN FALLS
AT EMERYvlLLE
Seven Events BristIing with Glass
Bring End to Northern Racing.
Obituary Notices Now Are
Overdue
IBy Associated Press. ]

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-With
a program of seven races at each
track fairly bristling with class the
curtain fell late this afternoon at the
Emeryville and Santa Anita race
courses, thereby bringing to an end
the most successful meetings ever held
in the west. Despite the shadow cast
upon the sport by the passage of the
Walker-Otis anti-race track gambling
bill in the recent legislature, record
breaking crowds attended the races
today with the intent of winding up
the season in the proverbial blaze of
glory. All stables were prepared for
an early getaway to Salt Lake, Vic
toria, Latonia and New York, and the
exodus Of animals, trainers and track
attaches is already in evidence. The
present season of racing has been cut
short twelve days only by the passing
of the anti-gambling bill. 1t is gen
orally understood that no attempt will
be made, for the present at least, to
test the constitutionality of the bill.
Early in the fall, however, steps will
be taken to fight the recent legislative
act which threatens the extinction of
the racing game in this state.

FLATS FOR
SUMMER VISITORS
APARTMENT HOUSES ERECTED
AT OCEAN PARK
Guests at the Beach Prefer Metro
poIitan Mode of Living to Old
System of Keeping
House
Especial to The Herald.I

OCEAN PARK, April 17.-With the
prospect of a decided revival of bust
ness on the beach and a larger crowd of
visitors than ever before, there is a
general disposition among property
owners to build apartment houses.
Every year sees an increase in the de-
mand for conveniently furnished apart
ments on the beach, many persons pre-
ferring to rent a few rooms and eat
where they happen to be than to be put
to the trouble of keeping house.
G. NJ. Jones has let the contract for a
three-story brick and fireproof struc-
ture to be erected on the north side of
Marine street, sixty feet from the
Speedway. The building will have a
frontage of sixty feet and depth OF
eighty feet. The entire lower floor has
been leased by Lee H. Young, who will
conduct one of the largest retail gro
Gerry houses on the beach, running this
in conjunction with his Main street
store.
The upper floors will be fitted as up
to-date apartments with disappearing
wall beds and all the modern con-
veniences that make life in furnished
apartment worth living. The structure
will cost sos, 000
While negotiations have not yet
prospect that a similar structure will
be erected on the lot next to this prop
erty. F. E. Stockwell of the Stockwell
Realty, company, who promoted the
Jones enterprise, is hard at work get
ting the various interests together, and
it is thought that he will be successful
in the undertaking. Farther south on
Ozone avenue the Milwaukee Building
company is erecting a handsome three
story apartment building for the Smith
Realty company, and on the corner of
Trolley way and Paloma avenue H.
Lee Blackmore is erecting a two-story
structure that will contain four four
room apartments of the latest design.
The Milwaukee Building company is
erecting another set of apartments on
Westminster avenue, between the
Speedway and Trolley way, on property
owned by DR.. J. M. White, which will
cost when complete $4,000 and will be
up-to-date in every particular.
There is a rumor that Abbot Kinney
intends to erect on his property Oh
Ocean Front just back of the St Marks
hotel, another set of apartments that
will lack nothing in convenience and
modern furnishings.
Real estate men report that there are
more houses being rented for long
terms than ever before at this time of
the year, and that the demand for
houses for summer occupancy, begin
ming May 1, is already overtaxing the
available supply of the better class of
dwellings.
