EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

A rather suggestive story of one
woman's Thanksgiving DINNER came
to me today.
The woman in question is a seam
stress. She does plain sewing and that
delightful conglomeration of renovat-
ing and fixing over known as odd
jobs
She also has wee income from
some stocks, and, therefore. makes
quite a decent living. For some rea-
son the quarterly check, which should
have reached her some time before
Thanksgiving, was delayed this year.
Two days before Thanksgiving, after
waiting as long as she dared for the
check, she was writing a letter to a
brother in distant city, asking him
to lend her few dollars, when a GUS
toner came in with an ''odd' job she
wanted done. 1t was an old waist to
be made over and it was to be done
| at half-past seven the night before the
holiday.
When the customer had gone, the
little seamstress reekoned thusly: II
have money enough to last me until
Thanksgiving My check will come di-
rectlv after that. With the money I
get for this job I will go out and
treat myself to a Thanksgiving din
ner at the hotel. That will be a nice
change from my own cooking for me.
And / don't believe I'll need to bother
my brother for money. Goodness
way" And she tore UP the letter.
The waist was done the night be-
fore Thanksgiving. There had been
more work than she quite expected
up until 2 the night before, but that,
of course, was an unimportant detail.
What mattered was that the waist was
done to the very last hook and eye and
even to a fresh ruching (both of which
the little seamstress had paid for her
a total
on hand, eleven centsl.
The customer came for the waist,
and only an hour and a half after the
time appointed, and was delighted with
the work. The bill, too, which came
to two dollars and a quarter, she said,
was most reasonable. 81 WILL DROP
IN SOME DAY NEXT WEEK AND
PAY IT. she assured the seamstress
sweetly.
I've put that sentence in caps be-
cause that's the way it sounded to the
little seamstress.
Nine o'clock, Thanksgiving Eve
eleven cents in her pocketbook-the
family from whom she rented the two
rooms, in which she did light house
keeping, had gone away for the holt
day-too late to send five hundred
miles to her brother for money-and
not d person in town from whom she
really felt she wanted to borrow
money.
All this the little seamstress re-
viewed-the way they say a drowning
man reviews his past life-while she
was ushering the customer out the door.
And she went the drowning man one
better, in that, besides making this
| review, she smiled sweetly and re-
| marked that it was a pleasant even
| ing, and looked as if there would be
a good old fashioned cold Thanksgiv-
| ing.
| And then she went back into her two
| rooms, looked into the little closet
that stood for a pantry. ice chest. china
| closet and so forth in her menage,
and wisely decied that instead of try
| ing to make herself forget that she
was a very lonely little woman by go
| ing to the hotel and giving herself the
unaccustomed treat of a thoroughly
good dinner, she would stay at home

The smaller of the two diamonds is
in the imperial crown just above the
ernline band. Both stones can be
taken from their settings in crown and
scepter when those symbols of power
are not in use and made to form a
pendant for the queen.
The "Star of Africa" weighs SIS II
carats, the smaller stone 800 3-16
carats.
The setting of the diamond in the
crown, of the diamond in the scepter
and of the diamonds as a pendant was
intrusted to the famous crown jew
els. The great difficulty the jewel
to receive the "Star of Africa was
caused by the fact that the general
ornamentation had to be kept intact.

ON PEACE MISSION.
Panama's Special Ernissary Arrives at
Colombia's Capital.

Bogota, Colombia, Dec. 24.-Dr
Carlos Mendoza. the special emissary
of Panama to Colombia, arrived here
yesterday. His visit has caused much
popular feeling, but there has been no
rioting. 1t is understood Mendoza S
mission is to Negotiate a treaty of
peace between Colombia and Panama.
The public here is opposed to such
a treaty.
Recent dispatches from Panama
stated that President Arosemana had
asked President Restrepo of Colombia
if he would receive the bearer of a
confidential commission from Panama
and that the Colombian executive had
responded that he would be glad to do
so. 1t was understood then that Pana-
ma was making the first advance to-
ward establishing friendly relations
between the two republics.

SOUND LOGIC.
A Voice From Arkansas Which
Appeals to Reason.
THE Stephens (Ark.) News.

| THE Stephens Ark.) News
Speaking of the refusal of the
Governor to pardon Ellis, an ex-
change says:
"Bob Taylor was thrice elected
Governor Of Tennessee and is II ow
in the United States Senate be-
cause he had heart"
Sure, and it is true. But had it
ever occurred to our contemporary
that for the past few years Ten
nessee has had more than it's share
of crime? Everyone who reads
the papers and keeps posted or
affairs in Tennessee knows this to
be true.
Not that Tennessee is worse than
any other State, or that Bob Tay-
lor is the cause of it, but when a
certain element of people get it
into their heads that they can kill
with chance of being turned lose
they are going to take that chance.
No doubt that was the motive that
caused the killing of Senator Car
mack and the commission of other
deeds in that State now familiar
to the public.
For the longest the press of
Tennessee has been crying ont for
law enforcement and demanding
that criminals be punished, and
the Governor of Arkansas has no
more ADLER defenders in the Ellis
case than the papers published in
Tennessee.
And now we venture another as
seFtion: The courts of Arkansas
will have less trouble in dealing
with crime than if Ellis had been
turned lose. Any man who COM
mits murder is to be pittied, but
not to the extent that it illlicense
him to eli his pockets with shoot
ing irons and hunt a victim to kill.
For the protection Of society 10
Governor can be too careful of the
kind of seed he sows.
