CHRISTMAS
LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS REMAIN BE-
FORE CHRISTMAS.

Within seven weeks the packages
of gifts that will be sent to relatives
and friends in other states should be
started on their journey. Have you
given the matter thought: Are
you as fortunate as the women who
remarked to friend the other day !:
well, all of my Christmas presents
are bought or made and are laid
away, ready to be boxed, addressed
and forwarded
We pay and pay dearly for pro-
crastination. It is the thief of time
and often the thief of our pocket
books as well. This is especially
true of our holiday gift purse. The
woman who does her Christmas shop
ping early has dozen advantages
over the one who does not. She saves
money, she saves time, she saves
herself annoyance, she makes duty a
pleasure, her gifts do not arrive a
day late, her expenditures are dis
tributed over long period 50 that
there is no unusual demand made on
the family purse during December,
which is always month of heavy ex-
Pense; she lightens by so much tie
burden of the shop-giIl; she relieves
the postal clerks rush work, she
gets what she wants for each person
on her Christmas list because she has
had time in which to shop deliber-
ately;;>she eliminates great cause of
worry; she does not make of herself
amartyr to the season. and she con-
tributes much to the worlds depict

Merely the President.

a characteristic anecdote of Lin
coin dates back to the, time when
there were so many fires at the ra-
tiona! capital that suspicion of IN
cendiarie$ was entertained. and va
rious northern cities began to offer
the services of special FIRE brigadcs.
The authorities of Philadelphia in
particular were most urgent and
sent a special committee to wait
upon the president and urge him
to accept the services of such a
brigade. The committee was te-
dious and long winded, and the
president was anxious to get back
to the public business which de-
manded his attention. Finally, see
ing no prospect OF termination of
the interview in the usual way, he
interrupted one of the orators in
the midst of grandiloquent fight
by saying:
"Ah, yes, gentlemen, but it is a
mistake to suppose that am the
head of the FIRE department in
Washington. I am merely the pres
ident of the United States"

CHICAGO JUDGE SHOWS COURAGE

Chicago. Oct. VOC. can't be
theolosians because you haven't the
power of analysis: you can't be law
yers, because you are devoid of the
reasoning faculty; you are not sue
eessful scientists, because you can
consider only one detail at time /;
you are only occasionally successful
in business, and you succeed only in
those branches ofmedicine which call
for the exercise of the nursing in
stinet."
Federal Judge Peter S. Grosscup
told the women of the ossoli club all
these things last night. But he es-
capped the vengeance that might
otherwise nave been wrought upon
him by telling the women lot of
things they can do and which they
must do if this old world is to roll
along unchanged in the course map
ped out for it.
But" he said, '.the only woman

profession began her career by being
put in jail for contempt of court for
throwing a pitcher of water a: a
Judge who overruled her motion. In
law, theology and medicine, she
rarely succeeds, she can't be ascien-
tist because that involves multitude
of details, and while woman is essen
tally a creature of detail, she can
consider but one detail at time and
not many in their relation to one
another. I'll tell you what a woman

STONED THE BARON.

Not Being Lafayette.
In 1871 Baron de Frenilly was
staying m Aurergne. At that time
Lafayette, the hero of two worlds,
was expected TO take up his resi-
denee ut Chaaniac. Everybody
was on the lookout for him, and in
his 4SRecollections" the baron gives
an amusing story of being mistaken
for the great general. He writes:
Having gone to Clermont to meet
my cousin and not knowing what to
do while awaiting her arrival, / de-
cided to set of for Rom and bring
back some of its famous pies. So
! ordered post horses and left early
in the morning.
When passing through Monitor
rand, league from Clermont. I
saw a huge crowd, and on asking
for information found that Lafa-
yette was expected to arrive that
very day.
In order not to meet him l dou-
bled my pace, reached Rom in half
an hour and set off back to Cler-
mont.
Everything went well as far as
Montferrand, but on descending to-
ward Clermont found the road
from one town to the other lined
with troops and people. However.
! continued to advance. But be-
fore l had gone more than a few
yards / heard voices saying: at is
he! 1t is he!r'
Away l went like the wind. But
the shouts outstripped me, and in
n few minutes l was proceeding in
the midst of a universal cry Of
'Long live Lafayette!"
On travelling third of the way
there we're salvos of artillery. the
troops beat the general" flags sa-
luted, and the municipality advanc-
ed on one side while the staff pre-
sented itself on the other. 1t was
then absolutely necessary to stop.
Lowering the carriage window, !
asked the mayor what he desired.

piled.

To do them justice. l must add

evening the apologies of the good

SNQKELESS LOCOMOTIVES.

What may possibly prove to be an
important invention was tried at
indianapolis by the big Four
railroad recently. 1t was an attach
ment which does away with the
smoke from locomotives, and is said
to have been a perfect success, so
much so that it will be used on all
the locomotives of the system which
pass through that city. An exchange
saws of it:
The device was installed in an en-
CINE on which the company has been
working for several weeks. At the
side of this engine was one that was
not equipped with the device. The
first engine was equipped with
special air pump and the air was
heated before entering the FIRE box.
T lis heated air caused a perfect COM
bustion of gases in the firebOx, thus
eliminating the smoke.
Many experiments along this line
have been conducted with greater or
less success. The railroad in question
seems to think it has solved the prob
lem. If it has, theinvention is like
ly to be widely adopted, and may
haSe some influence in the matter of
electrifying terminals. The smoke
from locomotives is one of the things
that is most complained about in large
cities, and one ofthe arguments used
for adopting electric locomotives. If
the smoke can be done away with,
there viii be less demand for electro
6catiOn.
Now if some one will solve the APP
parently impossible problem of a
.nOiseless steam locomotive, a very
decided victory viii have been
achieved.

RICH YELLOW METAL UNEXPECTEDLY
 FOUND
IMMENSE NUGGET ON EXHIBIT AT FIRST NATIONAL BANK
 IN THIS CITY

In tho history of mining, the unex- pected discovery of ore is always doub- ly pleasing to the man who makes the find, and moreover, such an incident is very reassuring to everyone holding property in the vicinity of the find. Two such discoveries have occurred re- gently not far from this city.
 s. A. Taught, formerly member of the house of representatives, and one of the men best known locally among mining and business men, recently came to the city and brought with him spec imen of gold ore which, if found in Ne vada or northern California, would re suit in rush of population to the scene of it's finding. This specimen is now on exhibition at the First National bank of this city, and President J. N. Por- ter, who is always interested in putting before the public the good things that Globe produces, will g.adly show it to anyone who calls to see it. The sample is about as big as q man 8 fist and is quarts, with lump of gold apparently pure, jutting out of one side and evi- dently running through the rock. A man, on seeing the specimen, offered sffty dollars for 1t at first glance, and one experienced mining man ventured the opinion that it's value in gold migbt easily run as high as sl,2o0.
 MT. Taught picked up the specimen about 80 miles from here, and only short distance from the road to Pay. son. It is understood that ). E. New. man of this city owns two claims near' by.
 The second unexpected discovery of ore was made day or two ago on the Sanatoris claim owned by George Syd nor and Buck Hayes. Frank Allen wal sinking well on the property, and a' depth of thirty feet, he encountered

 claim adjoins the keystone propert, on the north about 1000 feet from it.
