FINE ISSUE HUMAN
LIFE FOR OCTOBER

With the advent of Autumn come
the long evenings, when a really
good magazine adds immeasurably
to the happiness and well-being of
the whole family. Human Life is
the good old English roast of the
magazine menu-a substantial meal
in itself. 1t deals with living men
and women, whose lives and acts are
American history in the making.
Parents do themselves and their
growing boys and girls a wrong who
omit it from the evening circle.
The October issue is a tempting
one. In the opening article Frederic
w. Coburn tells the fascinating story
of one of Americas greatest Captains
of ndustry-Theodore Vail, whose
strong hand guides the destinies of
that gigantic organization, the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. A wonderful story of mod
ern Napoleon of finance and organi-
cation.
Among the other strong features
that make up this splendid number
are: Dave Ranney, Member of
Men," Ida Conquest and Her Phi
losophy of Clothes;r The Read
Founder of the House of Govern
ors;" Gavin McNab, Clean Boss of
San Francisco" Modern Mortals;"
Celebrities of the Day." ''The
Camera on Folk of the Hour" etc.

The San Francisco call., 1910-12-18

when everything was ready uncle
had disappeared and Aunt Bess said,
L guess he's gone down to the barn;
scamper after him and bring him in
hurry and we all rushed down to the
barn, but he wasn't there, so we all
rushed back and told her, and she said
We'll, we'll not wait; come into the
dining room, he is sure to be along.
And she opened the door, and / wish
you could have seen that dining room
OF course, sending us to the barn was
just a trick, and while we Were out
they had drawn the shades and lit the
candles and started the music box in
the other room to playing Holy Night
and by the table of gifts stood uncle
in a white suit that glistened and
sparkled like frost.
HE began to speak before we had
caught our breath. He said he had
been appointed a deputy for ST Ncho-
las, and before distributing the pack
ages he had a message for us from
headquarters. Father Christmas was
much pleased at our invitation to visit
us at leisure time and regretted 1T
would be impossible to accept. He re-
garded the occasion as a sort of re-
hearsal for the real Christmas play
and was sure we would all be benefited
and would play our parts much better
for it, That it had given him pleasure
to confer all necessary authority for
directing the festivities to Uncle War
rem, who he felt sure would prove
capable deputy.
Then uncle distributed the pack
ages, and it was just like Christmas
eve, oh-ing, and ah-ing, and laughing.
and then pretty soon we all sat down
to dinner, and right in the midst of 1t
came the adventure. A knock came on
the kitchen door, and Rolph went out
and opened it. Then he came and called
Uncle Warren. Uncle must have for
gotten how funny his spangled suit
would look to anybody that didn't know
what was going on. The man sort of
mumbled-I couldn't hear what he
said-but uncle spoke up so hearty you
couldn't help hearing: OF course!
come right in! We're glad to have you.
We're at dinner now.
Aunt Bess seemed to know, the first
word uncle spoke, what would be
needed, and had a place almost fixed
by the time they reached the dining
room door.
"She said some welcoming word, but
the man didn't seem to hear and began
to get whittier and whittier, and finally
sort of fell into a chair Uncle thought
he was fainting, but the man said No,
no, no, no. over and over, just like
that and he put his head on his arm
for minute, / tell you. i never saw a
grown man cry or sob before
Then auntie said 1T must be seeing
so many children Have you, perhaps,
lost one OF your own
The man lifted up his head, then he
stood up looking just lighting mad, but
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-18

auntie said afterwards it was just
fight for self-control.
Lost one! I've lost four! Oh, fool,
fool, fool that 1 have been, but, God
willing, / can find them again. 1t
wasn't so much the sight of the chill
dren, but that table of dolls that
knocked me silly. I've one little tad,
that with one rag doll kept courage in
us when we needed it pretty bad. She
was just at the time. and whatever
she overheard she would later on ex-
plain to Minnie" so we just had to
keep up a brave front, or hear her tell
ing Men papa scolded, and mamma
kyed.'
1.-The way I happen to be here is
shameful enough. but till this minute
/ never thought about it that way. 1
couldn't get work, and we were worse
than starving. I thought the little
woman and the babies could accept help
and no shame to them If disappeared,
and that their condition would become
known through search for me, so / lit
out without saying a word, but / mailed
a letter before ] left town, saying I'd
gone to find work and She needn't ex-
pect to hear from me till L found it.
I've been tramping over four months.
I'd get an odd job here and there so
I've not had to beg or go hungry. I've
slept out under the stars (I like that
part of it), and harvest time is coming
so maybe l can get something steady.
but I'm not much account at anything
but my trade. I'm a stonemason, and
strong enough but farm work has to
be learned like any other trade I sup
pose, before man is much good, and
it seems like every time touch tool
/ break it, but I'm learning; at least,
I've learned that I don't know much
about it; that helps. But 1t doesn't
look much like q steady job, with a
living in it for six, does it? The only
one of my babies that knows much
about Christmas is Vera. She is 8. At
first we did pretty well, but then 1 got
hurt by fall, and since then, though
I've worked hard when L could, we've
never been out of debt. not once
He stopped with sort OF gasp. and
even uncle and Aunt Bess looked kind
of helpless. but Baby May spoke up
Just then, We want you come "a dinner;
here's your place; there's mince pie. and
pumpkin ple.' That made everybody
laugh, and uncle got the man into his
place and served him, and everybody
began talking at once. 1 guess there
never was exactly such a Christmas
party, but it ended beautifully. Uncle
knew just the place for the man, and
they had it all planned before dinner
was over to send for the family and
everything. Then, as uncle rose from
the table he said, oh, what a blessing
everybody sing, and began beating
time with knife, and we all Joined in
singing
.oh. what blessing twould "a been

way that happened, auntie said she
would give her copy of Little Women"
that she has had since she was a lit
tie girl, to the one who would con-
trive the most unique things out of the
reeds, and when you see how many 1
have you will wonder 1 didn't win, but
Bess did. Then auntie came around
to each of us, after giving Bess Lit
tie Women and she said that con-
ISOLATION prizes were certainly due to
each of us. so | was to have Under
the Lilacs' and Olive should have
Faith Gartneys Girlhood,' and each
of the boys had some book off that
same shelf in the library. She said she
wanted us to see what old fashioned
stories were like, and she hoped we
would be good to the books, because
she had had them so long; that she
gave them to us because she loved us
so well she wanted to share with us
the things she cared for most. This
happened, of course. while we were
making ready for the party.
ITO get to back to the day itself.
The big dining table, pulled out just
as long as it could be, was set in the
middle of the dining room, and in the
center was the most beautiful little fir
tree trimmed with the smallest candles
we could get, and all the other things
tinsel and trinkets. There wasn't room
on that table for any other decora-
tions. because there were so many of
us, IL children and the grownups. And
such a feast! They put everything on
at once, old time fashion.
"At each end there was huge platter
with a roast turkey. surrounded by
little roast, turkeys. They were really
truly quail, that the boys had gone
hunting for the day before And there
was baked ham, cold, and roast veni-
son, hot, and vegetables and pies and
cakes and cookies and pickles and jel-
lies, and, in fact, / don't believe l ever
saw so much, TO eat all in sight at one
time in my life, but 1t seemed kind of
Jolly way Auntie said 1t was the
country custom from the time turkey
became the national bird, not of free
dom but OF fun. / wondered what we
could do with all that would be left
but after dinner auntie and Bess
whisked out lot of boxes and paper
napkins and set US all to packing
part of the party (she called IT'D for
all the neighbors, for another rule at
this twin Christmas is that you must
think only of giving. not of getting.
OF course you get, just the same, but
auntie kept talking so much about
the blessedness of giving that truly,
mother, dear, / was sort Of surprised
when uncle handed me my first pack
age and then more and more of them.
Just wait till you see! There's the

Baby May calls 'mitten shoes, and
Rolph made me a pen rack of some
small deer horns, and oh-you just
wait.

JUDGE FIFE ENDORSED
BY LOCAL MINISTERS

Judge A. w. Fite's stand for the en-
forcement of the prohibition law in Dade
county and the state of Georgia was
unanimously Endorsed Monday evening by
the Atlanta Evangelical Ministers as
ISOLATION, upon motion of the Rev. Ber-
nard Smith.
Mr.. Smith explained that the indorse-
ment he sought to put in the form of a
motion was not intended to express any
opinion whatever regarding the merits
of the contention between Judge Newman
Of the federal court, and Judge Fite, or
the state superior court, nor was it his
intention that the ministers should take
sides in the controversy. He simply
wanted Judge Fite to know that the min
listers were with him in his fight for the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
With the explanation the motion went
to a vote and was unanimously carried.
A copy of the resolutions will be drawn
up by the secretary and forwarded to
Judge Fite, at Gainesville.
