| Q The spirit Of Christmas!
That is the spirit Of Christ
mas? Is it the generous
spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all.
There will be millions of gifts
made between now and The
new year, and they will not
all express the Christmas
spirit. Some are made out of
pockets Of plenty and thus
entail no personal service;
and some will be made under
the comuplsion of supposed
necessity. How many people
give things at this time be-
cause they think they must.
They must give to those they
hope or fear will give to them.
| It is almost unfortunate that
giving and taking has become
such a feature of our Christ
mas celebration because the
mere gift is incapable of ex-
pressing the spirit of this
occasion, and the occasion it
self has become a burden to
many because it has been SO
much abused. It is not hv
giving lavishly that we honor
Christ whose birth we cele-
brate, but by sharing unset
fishly every good thing we
possess. This puts the best
things of Christmas in the
reach of every human life
and enables every human be-
ing however poor in goods to
give generously Of whatever
else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied us,
then let us give what is bet
ter, a word of cheer, a smile
to awaken hope, something
out of our hearts's treasure
Who would not rather get
cordial message from a friend
that would express his
thought and appreciation,
than to get a dollar trinket?
What heresy to think that we
cannot express an unselfish
love at Christmas time except
by lavish use Of money,
There is no need CT going out of
town to buy holiday goods for this
year the Washburn stores are
TANNED full of all kinds of merchau-
disc suitable for the holiday trade.
Those desiring the more expensive
articles need not go out of town for
they are to be found in the city and
the array is large sc that there will
be no trouble in making selections.
There will be found goods to suit all
pocketbooks from the cheaper wares
to the most expensive. Patronize
the home merchant and help build
up Washburn.
Another new plate glass window
has been placed in the A. l. Lien
store. The first two were broken.
In Wisconsin last year $500 per-
sons died from consumption. DO
your share in wiping out this di-
sease by buying Red Cross Christ

The secretary of War has return
ed from the, Philippines by way of
Asia and Europe, bringing the some
what trite information that our Ma
layan acquisition from Spain is not
fit for self government. Well, what
country ever was fit? The real
difference is that the Philippines
are less fit, or at least fit. 1t is
a positive benediction to some coun-
tries like India, Egypt and the
Philippines to be governed by an
Anglo-Saxon people. All child
rem need guidance and control, and
these peoples are not only "half
devil aud half child" but "devil,
ostrich and orphan child in one. ;"

STEEL PLAYS BIG
PART IN TOYLAND
Wood, Iron and Tin Now En-
tireIy Replaced

Steel is used nowadays not only in
the frames Of tall buildings, in rail-
road tracks, in bridges and such large
ways, but also in the manufacture of
TOYS Many toys that once were made
OF wood, of cast iron or Of tin, are now
made OK steel says the New York Sun.
steel toys include, for example, toy
carts and wagons stamped out of thin
sheet steel. A toy steel dump cart.
painted in bright colors and provided
with a twist wire handle is made TO
retail for cents. There are larger
tov dump carts and four wheeled toy
wagons OF various sizes and sorts, in
cIuding ice wagons, mail wagons. ex-
press wagons. milk wagons, all deco
rated in colors and some without and
some with horses, and wagons and
horses all Of steel, these larger toys
ranging up to a retail price of 25 cents.
Among the steel toys are toy safes in
various styles and sizes and made in
very safelike appearance. and there are
steel toy money banks OF various de-
signs. and toy steel furniture and horns
and flutes. In fact. steel toys are now
made in large variety. not the least
interesting thing among them being
the steel toy drum. which is made not
only with its shell and hoops Of steel
but with heads also Of steel, painted to
initiate sheepskin. There is an all steel
tov drum that is retailed for as little
as 10 cents.

NURSE'STESTIMONY
FAVORS DIR. HYDE
Miss Houlihan Confused Over
Memory Charts When
Cross Examined
Second Week of Murder Trial
Closes With Both Sides
Predicting Victory

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 2S.-The
second week of the Hyde murder trial
closed here today with both the de-
fense and prosecution predicting ulti-
mate victory.
Only two important witnesses have
been examined so far They are Miss
Pearl Keller and Miss Anna Houlihan,
who were nurses In the Swope resi-
dence when the tragedies were enacted.
Miss Keller. who is considered the
states star witness, told straight and
vigorous story which greatly pleased
the prosecution. Attempts of the de-
fense to break down her narrative were
futile. On the other hand, Miss Houli-
han, whose cross examination has not
been completed, has buoyed UP the
hopes of the defense. Attorney Frank
p Walsh, chief counsel for Doctor
Hyde, has, under the direct coaching of
Mrs. Hyde, been able to obtain some
admissions dana ging to the states
case from the witness.
Miss Anna Houlihan took the stand
again today.
NURSE CROSS EXAMINED
Prosecutor Reed asked the nurse but
few questions regarding the illness
of Margaret Swope. Attorney Walsh
then took the witness.
walsh's first question was regarding
the box of candy which Miss Houlihan
testified yesterday that Doctor Hyde
gave to Stella Swope just seven days
before the young woman was stricken
with typhoid.
Did you see Doctor Hyde give Stella
this candy?" asked Walsh.
Yes, sir" she replied.
Did you see her eat any of the
candy?"
II did not
Miss Houlihan said she could not re-
call the size of the box. nor could she
say whether Doctor Hyde and his wife
ate candy at the house on the day the
box is said to have been, presented
Miss HouIihan admitted she did not
see Doctor Hyde administer capsule
to Chrisman Swope on December 5, the
day the patient had his first CONFUSION
WITNESS Is CONFUSED
Practically all of the entries in the
chart on which she kept records of
Chrisman Swope's condition were made
at her convenience from memory, she
said Today, however, she was unable
to recall many facts about the patients
illness without referring to her chart.
She also said she left her records at the
Swope house when she le1t In Decem-
Der and did not see them again until
she was called before the grand jury
during March.
Walsh dwelt for some time on the
entries in the nurses chart. The wit
ness seemed confused about several of
them.
IT had no idea these records were to
be brought into a court or / would have
taken more care in preparing them
said Miss Houlfhan
Preceding Chrisman Swope's first
convulsion the patient was alone. Mrs.
Hyde went ito his room and found him
suffering and complaining. Miss Hou-
lihan was not in the room.
Miss Churchill, another nurse, left
Swope and went out, at your sugges-
ton. for a rest, didn't she?" queried
Walsh.
That is true replied the nurse.
Did you see Doctor Hyde give Chris
man a capsule on Sunday"
This was the day Chrisman suffered
his first convulsion.
II did not" she replied.

BYBRID GRAPE VINES
PRODUCE BEST WINES

Men who make the great brands of
wine say that nearly all the vines of
France and other wine growing coun-
tries of Europe are grated on
American roots. 1t is the only
possible protection from phylloxera.
AS son as vine shows signs OF
decay, it Is dug up, an Amer
fcan root is planted in its place, and
what remains of the old vine is grated
upon 1t. In the European vine the root
invariably rots after the phylloxera at
tacks 1T. BY crossing the American
with the French vines a hybrid has
been obtained which is well adapted to
all kinds of grape growing soil in
France. An important part of the bust
ness of some wine growers in France
consists in producing these hybrid
plants for the market.

SHOE SHINE SAVES LIFE
OF BLACK HILLS MINER
South Dakotan Dodges Hole,
Thinking 1t a Puddle

Suddenly remembering that he had
just had his shoes shined, and not wish
ing to spoil the polish, Jack Thomas,
a resident of one of the small mining
camps in the Black Hills, while en-
route home quite late at night on foot,
decided not to walk through what he
supposed was a puddle of water and
mud, and thereby saved his life, says
the New York Herald
The supposed puddle was a hole in
the ground nearly 100 feet in depth.
caused by the caving in of a tunnel
which a mining company had con-
structed at that depth under the high
way along which Thomas was walking.
When he approached the supposed
puddle IN the dim light Thomas for a
moment intended to walk through it.
as he was tired and did not care to
take the extra steps necessary to walk
around the large dark spot in the road.
But, recollecting the polish which had
been placed on his shoes a short time
before, he decided to walk around the
spot and save the shine.
The next morning, when informed of
the nature of the "mudhole," and
realizing how narrow an escape he had
had from being dashed to death in the
hole, his hair nearly turned gray.

The amount of mall" said Super

there is common desire to be enumer-
ated and swell the city population. OF
course, there are some unruly ones and
these we will handle without gloves /
understand, for instance, there are
some woman suffragists who are TAX
ing advantage of the census to create
stir and voice their political princi-
pies. My enumerators tell me that two
of them. Mrs. Francesca Pierce and
Mrs. Solomon, have refused to give any
information about themselves.
'I am more than sorry for this stand.
l presume they are women of educa-
tion and intelligence and / expect their
type to help the work rather than
hinder 1t. To my mind it is nothing but
an effort to gain notoriety for their
cause and now, having gained 1T, hope
they will take the stand of thousands
of other good citizens and help the
government. Otherwise the aid of the
law will be invoked. This bureau does
not intend to be a target for woman
suffragists or any other organization. /"
