Plea for East Lake 0Fphanaes

Christmas Is the annual donation day of the East Lake orphanage, conduct ed by the Sisters of Charity. The orphanage shelters at all times just ahout 100 orphans, something like one third of whom being under years or age.
 If the good people of this city could see how well these orphans. coming from all denominations. are cared for by the sisters the public response to the appeal of Mrs. J. L. Welch, pres tdent of the association, would be nound of charitable dollars. Many do give to this excellent and well-conduot- ed institution and no doubt the response this year will be generous. Many im- movements are needed. There are, for example, but two bathtubs and two scarcely suffice when 100 children are to be kept clean and wholesome. We cannot refrain from adding here the fact that today there are just 96 little ones in the orphanage and to give in that connection the closing lines of it's appeal:
 s.Ninety-six little beds to keep spot
 lessly white,
 Einety-six little tots to tuck in every
 night;
 Ninety-siX pairs of stockings to darn
 and keep clean,
 Ninety-six pairs of shoes the colo
 earth between; Ninety-six little mouths to fill thrice
 a day
 The task is appalling; help us, we
 pray"

Many Bills in Fifty Days

The legislature which meets January 10 can sit but 50 days. In that num- Der of legislative days all the work that over two millions of people will want for four years is to be accom- plished unless indeed circumstances re- quire the governor at considerable pub lie expense to call an extra session. Governor Jelks did not need an extra session and the legislature can, by good and thoughtful work, render an extra session unnecessary in the com- Ing four years.
 To do this, however, it must speed fly get down to brass tacks." It must work overtime if there Is any such thing as overtime among legislators. A vast quantity of legislation will be proposed-perhaps a quantity beyond all precedent in this state. Every city will submit bills and the three larger
 
 cities will submit at least a bushel of them. From all parts of the state and all departments of government come legislative propositions. If the num- erous bills already prepared are to be sifted and analysed and put either into laws or into pigeonholes the members of the legislature will have to work steadily and persistently.
 If every senator and representative will go to Montgomery knowing just what his constituents want and do not want the mass of bills can be assort- ed and acted on. But let no one think that the task Is to be light one. The session will be flooded with bills from the opening day to the day of final adjournment and every bill will have somebody behind it whether it be one of merit or the opposite. The state fairly bubbles with bills and the great mass in a quadrennia1 body calls for ali possible preparation before going to Montgomery and all possible industry after the legislators arrive on the spot.

A MODELS "REPERTOIRE'

From Tit Bits.
 'Repertoire" nowadays does not neces-
 sarily signify musical or dramatic &C.,
 ouirements A conservative old couple
 who welcomed into their home young
 woman who had come out of the west
 heralded as the possessor of an artistic temperament and an extensive repertoire found that out. The repertoire was not defined; whether it pertained to the mus- cal or dramatic arts the old-fashioned
 folk had to find out for themselves. To enlighten them the young woman pre- scented list of the pieces she was pro- ficient in. The old folk read items like
 this: "victory, 25 minutes; Rebecca, 20
 minutes; Venus, 20 minutes 'I think" said her hostess timidly, that [ never heard any of these pieces played" " "Oh," said the young woman, T am not musician nor an actress. I am an
 artists model, and these are the studies I can pose for and the number of minutes I can stand or sit without moving a muscle Every up-to-date model has her repertoire, the same as an opera singer
 and the artists know right off what to ex- pect of her."

F rom the Mobile Item.
 Birmingham evidently is opposed to tho present prohibition law. According to re- ports one representative will introduce a bill to re-establish the saloon in Jeffer- son county, a character test to accom- pany the application for license. Another representative gives notice that he will introduce a bill to permit the sale of wines, beers and whisSies in original packages. The senator favors dispen- sery to sell whiskies and to supply local saloons which will be permitted only to sell wines and beers. It is also stated that the entire delegation is in favor of the return of the saloon in one form or another. And Governor Conner resides in Birmingham, too.

equipped. but public sentiment seems to have turned against the government, and a long guerrella warfare in the moun- tains seems to be impending, and it may be swelled into an imposing and irresist- ible revolution. President Diaz is too old to take the field in person, and he is compelled to select leaders who may lack magnetism and personal force. The men under Navarro do not fight very fercely. All in all the indications are good that change in government will come either by resignation or by force. An end comes to all things, and presidential terms In Mexico are not altogether exceptional.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN

From the New York World. Detroit is the ninth city in the United
 States. It is the chief rival of Cos Cob
 in the manufacture of gasoline engines. The postofflce has gargoyles on its shapely tower like those sticking out from Notre Dame de Paris. It is just being greatly enlarged to accommodate
 the letters of people from elsewhere or dering automobiles so as to get them first.
 For two months the city has been en- tered from Canada by a tunnel, through
 which the Michigan Central bores its way So the country could easily be invaded by the Canucks from Windsor without getting their feet wet. This is for Gen. Leonard Woods private infor-
 nation.
 W. B. Yipe has the oldest name seen
 on the signboards. For a real treat, visitors are taken to
 see the place where the new depot is
 going to be. There is only one worse one in the world than that of the Lake
 O., and belongs to the same corpora tion. aa aa es4sa.as
 James J. Hill is right. Detroit is one
 of the big factors in the cost of high living It makes about one automobile
 minute. But Detroit meals are still low. All this can be had for 50 cents: Soups or Oysters. Celery. Broled or Planked whitefish. Potatoes Pie or Cheese. Coffee. Detroit has three evening and two
 morning papers, including the Free
 Press, which made the town famous. E.
 D. Stair controls it as well as the Jour nal. He used to work in a printshop and came back to the trade as soon as
 he could afford it. He loves to wipe his hands on the office towel. The Scripps interests own the Morning and Evening News. James Schermerhorn is leading a higher and better life with the Times. It takes a Lake Shore train 40 minutes
 to escape from the city limits. This
 proves that either the train Is SLOW or the
 town is big. Both!
 Through Sheridan Ford and Charles L.
 Freer. Detroit discovered Whistler. It is
 one of the greatest centers of art interest in America.
 The big new hotel is called the Pont- chartrain, after a lake down in Louis jana. It seems a good way to go for a name when there are so many good ones lying around unused in the neigh bcrhood.
 Everything is smart. clean and modern The park has a big island all to itself and is a dream of beauty.

President Diaz in Chihuahua

The eighth term of President Diaz is to be stormy one. He is 80 years old, and a term of six years is before him. His iron rule has alienated many citizens, some saying that a large number of the un- official population are active or at any rate passive friends of the revolution. It is certain that the opponents of the gov ernment are more numerous than they have been since Porflrio Diaz first gained power.
 Thus far the revolution is confined to border state, beginning at Fl Paso and well supplied with railroads. On the east side of the state is Coahuila and on the west Sonora All three states have many silver mines.
 The fighting Is apparently near the cap- ital of the state. This name of the cap itaI of the state. The name of the cap- of mountains in the neighborhood and throughout the state, and the insurrectos know the ground fully as we'll as General Navarro does The rebels do in fact claim that they have not lost battle. and il is known that their numbers are Increas-  ing and that they have plenty of arms and ammunition.

suErRAGErTEs IN COURT

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 Women desire to be considered ladies
 above all things. They are far more
 solicitous of being deemed ladies than
 men are of being called gentlemen.
 This instinctive yearning of the fair sex rather stands in the way of it's dignity at times, as in the instance of those arrested London suffragettes who broke
 the windows of the postmaster general and fought with the police. The small boy who in the hands of the law ear restIy protests that he didn't do noth - ing" simply fibs. and the suffragettes were truthful. They admitted what they did, but instead of glorifying their deeds before the magistrates as martyrs they weakly insisted on drawing politi- cal lines. Elena Tagg, charged with having struck constable a back hand blow and knocking off his helmet, an- swered: T did 1t on political grounds | I was dissatisfied with Asquith." Mrs Lowry and Mrs. Massey. two more oi | the arrested, scorned the charge of | malicious mischief while admitting | that they broke five panes of glass in eral The court record thus reads: Mrs Massey-Did we not say thai we were making an indignant protes, ecause MT.

MUDDLED sPELLBINDER

From Lippincotts.
 In the excitement of a mayoralty elec- tion in small city, a certain politician, who assuredly did not owe his political prestige to either his education or his oratorical ability, was called upon for a speech.
 The opponents of the candidate whom this politician was supporting had scat tered broadcast a statement that the young man was much too young to have had enough experience for the arduous duties of mayor, and that he had not been In business long enough to prove that he had good executive ability.
 These statements the politician under took to refute and wound up with the words, "As Shakespeare says in Para disc Lost "A mans man for all that

Affairs of the City in Good Shape

The greater city passes into a new year hopefully. A, good deal has been accom- pllshed in the way of assimilation and reg ulation, and even of economy. A cut of s130,ot0 in the city's expense account is full of promise It means that if there is to be a deficit on July it will not be a large one. Retrenchment has been applied in good season, and the fiscal year has been robbed of it's chief threat. In the fire de- partment Chief Bennett is confident he can save s15,OOO additional by substituting motor wagons for every horse-drawn hose and chemical wagon. Economy is the watchword all along the line, and re- ceipts and expenditures in the consoli- dated city may speedily be brought in touch with each other.
 As the year goes out the viaduct prob- lem Is well settled and the northside storm sewers are in sight The old style of city government is doing remarkably well in it's closing days. It is singing it's swan songs before a clean slate.

ON THE SANTA FEE RoAD-u

From the New York World.
 Flagstaff, Aria, thrives around a couple Of sawmills industriously employed in chewing up the hard pine forests of the season. Flagstaff also enjoys the privi- lege of being the one point in the United States that gets closest to the planet Mars. Here Prof. Percival Lowell of Harvard maintains his private observa- tory and studies the canals and other features of the Martian real estate.
 The banana belt of Colorado is in the southeastern angle adjoining New Mexi- co and Kansas. Here the sugar beet and the cantaloupe divide the soil with wonderful fields of alfalfa, making the farmers rich. Yet 1t is a bare 30 years since the Comarches quit raiding here. It was in this favored region that Fred eric Remington lost all his patrimony trying to raise sheep, to become instead of herder the foremost American artist of his time. putting into permanent form the visions of wild America now forever gone. The cowboy, the Indian, the troop CT and the Mexican-he gave the pano- rama of them all. The latter alone refuses to pass away. He was the first to come.
 Albuquerque announces its presence by smell, the healthful odor from a big tannery on the outskirts. Here new and cid meet in pleasant company. The In- dian from the pueblos. the Navahoes from the desert the handsome, unclean Mex jeans and the pushing American. The Santa Fe has here splendid depot and hotel, built on Mexican lines and most agreeable to the eye, while the ubiquit- ous Harvey maintains big store where Navaho blankets, Pueblo pottery and other Indian fixin's are sold along with the lovely Mexican silver fligree work In an odd corner a Navaho woman works her loom and in another an Indian smith nanipulates silver in his forge, turning out spoons and strangely designed neck laces.
 The Santa Fe line to Denver springs off at La Junta, in the sugar-beet country, and runs up to the mountain city through the Rocky Ford valley, where the golden melons grow, getting into the town finally through John Brisben Wal ker's farm. MT. Walker left Tarrytown three years ago, and went back to his Denver real estate, where he made his first fortune and Is now constructing a second Colorado owes him all he may require in the way of fortune, for it was he who introduced alfalfa, that mag ic plant which enriches the soil and the farmer at the same time and makes even the desert green!
