ON THE GIVING OF GIFTS

II what you bestow at Christmas is
expected, or taken for granted. it will
not be gift in the fullest sense of
the word. If you give with the ex-
pectation of gratitude you will deserve
it in small measure. OF receiving
gifts, Emerson said: We can receive
anything from love. for that is way
of receiving it from ourselves; bur
not from any one who assumes tc be-
stow"
Let the selection of your gift be a
surprise as well as the giving. Do not
give what you feel under obligations
or expected to give If you do you
are open to suspicion OF seeking IA
vor, Or removing an obligation. or OF
making someone your debtor. You
remove suspicion if you give some
thing unexpected because, for in
stance, of its very simplicity.
Illustrating simple gifts, the same
philosopher said: Flowers and
fruits are always fit presents; flowers
because they are a proud assertion
that ray of beauty outvalues all the
utilities of the world" and. IF man
should send me to come a hundred
miles to visit him, and should set be-
fore me basket fine summer-fruit
should think there was some pro-
portion between the labor and the re-
ward"

Amendments in their favor. The three
amendments which led-excluding pro-

tax for public roads. Each was meas

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

| The success of a woman's suffrage
amendment which was recently voted
on in Washington added one more
state to the number in which full suf.
frage is granted to the women. These
states are Idaho. Colorado. Utah,
Wyoming and Washington. In addi-
ton to these, women now have munich
pal suffrage in Kansas; school suf-
frage, varying in extent, in twenty-five
states; suffrage on questions of tax
levies in Louisiana; and on bond is
sues in Iowa.
The campaign methods used in win
ming the Washington voters in favor
of the amendment are interesting be-
cause of their contrast to those used
in England. By campaign literature
and banners used in their parades,
they gave definite reasons why the
amendment should be carried. 1t was
a quiet campaign, lacking all the fea-
lures that cause ridicule, and the 25.-
coo majority in favor of the amend
ment argues in favor of the methods
employed.
At about the same time of this sue
cess of the American suffragists. those
OF England made the streets of Lon
don the scene of an interesting battle
for their rights. Fortunately such
methods are not used in America.
The majority of the advocates of votes
for women would regard such DEM
onstration as harmful to their cause. |

Washington, Oct. 4.-Public i1stitu-

several countries during the last ten
years have demonstrated the success
of establishments of this character
and the congress at today's session
placed itseI1 on record as favOring
their extension. The question as to
whether drunkenness was a crime or
a disease was debated at great length
at the section meeting. Edwin Mul-
ready Of Boston, declared that short
sentence in Jail and the treatment Of
the drunkard as a criminal was a fail
ure.
DR.. Daniel Phelan of Canada, de-
clared that habitual drinking was due
to some mental defect.
Seven per cent of crime is attrib.
utable to drink, he said.
The National Prisoners Aid society
was organized here today by a group
of thirty delegates to .Ae American
Prison association, who have remain

Secertary-O. F. Lewis of New
York.
The society will meet annually with

LOSS TO L.C.R,R.
NOW PLACED At
Two Millions

Chicago, Oct. Am estimate of
the losses sustained by the Illinois
Central railroad through farming out
it's car repairing, was raised today
until the officials now assert that
nearly $2,000,0OO was taken from the
company.
At first the loss to the company was
placed at $1,000,00O. AS the hearing
progressed it was raised to $1,500,0OO
and la Ter developments put the loss
at still higher figures.
The new estimate is based on the
work of an expert accountant who has
completed tracing most of the car
repair accounts. AS a result Of his
findings he based the average amount
of added repair charged to each car
at S100. A total of 1S,O2O cars were
repaired.

Owner does not Care to

Property

Beverly, Oct. 4.-Recent rumors to
the effect that Taft will have to
move from the handsome cottage he
has occupied the last two summers
were verified to-day. House hunting
as a consequence has taken promi-
nent place in the daily program for
the last two weeks of vacation. It is
not secret that Taft wanted to re-
main in his present location during
the two years more Of his term of
Office. His lease expired with the
close of the present season, however,
and Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans, who
owns the cottage, has stated that she
does not care to rent it. 1t is said
that Mrs. Evans intends to tear down
the cottage and make the place where
it stands into an Italian garden. Mrs.
Evans occupies the cottage adjoining
the presidents. She is one of the
twelve richest women in the United
States. The rental of the cottage,
though considerable under ordinary
means nothing to her.

oLduulOu, ILL.,, OCL. r. uIIIy'ScNCAl
persons were killed and from 16 to Is
injured in a collision on the Illinois
traction system two miles north of
here late this afternoon. Three of the
injured and possibly more are not
expected to survive. Reports from
the wreck up to the present time
have been difficult to obtain and al.
though some of the statements re-
ceived from there make the number
of injured as high as fifty it is not
believed it will run over twenty-five.
Only three of the dead have been
identified as yet and these are all
prominent officials of the traction
system. They are: J. E.. Berry,
Springfield, Ills., land commissioner
for the III. Traction system; w. w.
Street, Staunton, ILL.,, assistant train
master of the traction system; D. v.
Black, Springfield, assistant super
intendent of motive power and
equipment. The collision occurred
between local train No. IA north
bound and an excursion train No. 70,
headed toward St. Louis and loaded
with passengers on their way to
view the parade of the Yelled Proph.
cts at St. Louis. The accident, &C.
cording to the present information
was due entirely to the disregarding
of orders by the crew of local train
No. IA, which was in charge of M.
A. Lonard, conductor, and John Lier-
man, of Staunton, the motorman.
Train No. IA had orders to pass train
73 at Staunton. The latter train was
running in two sections, and the
orders given to No. IA were explicit
that it should pass both sections of
the southbound train at Staunton.
The first section of No. 73 had pass
ed when the crew of No. IA pulled
out on the main track needless of the
second section and started north. At
sharp turn in the road, called
Dickerson's Curve, which is two
miles north of this place, the two
trains came together in a splintering
crash. Dickerson's Curve is a sharp
bend in the road and is at the bot ,,
tom of a decline both from the north
and from the south. Train No. IA
and the second section of No. 73
were both on the down grade and |
moving at a speed of forty miles an !
hour when they met. Tn collision oc- |;
Cured at the bottom of the double |
incline and at the sharpest part of ;
the curve. The cars were 50 close !:
that it was impossible for either of
them to stop or slow down and the
crews were able to do nothing ex-

their lives. The crew of No. IA and

and E. J. Young, both of Springfield,

collision was inevitable and all es-
capped without serious injury. They
were badly shaken up but were able
to lend assistance to the injured an
instant later. None of the passengers
had chance for life, as the crash
between the cars followed immedi- +
ately. The cries of warning issued
by the conductors and motormen as
they jumped. The cars came together
with q terrific crash and both we're
