can not now excel them either in exege-
sis or doubt-and both the ancient
priests and the modern scribes miss
the Saviour in all their tedious and
profitless erudition. We do better to go
with the wise men,"
The royal gifts of the wise men,
poured out at the feet of the Holy
Child doubtless did much to support
Mary and Jesus and Joseph during their
exile in Egypt, although the gifts were
made without thought of their ulti-
mate use. The Magi meant worship
only, but they did also serve high ends.
Worship is never UTILITARIAN in it's
spirit, but it is always USEFUL in it's
outcome. The worship of the God of
heaven blesses his children in the earth.
Humane progress in modern times is the
result of the alteration of Jesus, The al
abster box broken by the nameless 'wo-
man of the city in Simon's house has
fed more poor people than all the cold
plans of the calculating Judases who
have lived from then until now. Because
men love Jesus, the Babe of Bethlehem,
there has come to us that festal season
which celebrate today, and in some sense
the millions of little children, made glad
on this Christmas day by gifts of love,
owe all the joys of the happy morning
to Him to whom the wise men" gave
gifts at Bethlehem.
The Russian peasantry have a legend
that an old woman, the Baboushka, was
at work in her house when the wise
men from the East" passed by on their
way to Jerusalem, following the star.
Come with u.s." they said; I'VE have
seen His star in the East and go to wor-
ship Him." But she replied, II will
come, but not now. When l have set
my house in order will follow you and
find Him." Alas when her work was
done the wise men, were gone and the
star shone no more In the heavens, They
say she never found the Christ-child, but
that she still lives and searches for
him, and that to make sure of finding
Him she visits on Christmas eve all
homes and leaves gifts for the children.
The Legend is parable: WHen we liiln-
lister to little children, we minister I'M
to Him. Matthew, who of all the four
evangelists alone tell us of the visit
and the gifts of the wise men," tells
us also that Jesus said, Whose shall
receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me- Matthew xviii:5).
Let us celebrate this blessed Christ
mas season as wise men," reverently
studying the things that lead us to Je-
sus worshiping with adoring love at His
feet, and blessing the little children with
the gifts of tender piety. 1t is not a
season for bacchanalian revelry, but for
devout meditation, joyous alteration, and
Astounding benevolence.

POLICE CLOSE SHOW.
After Two Babies Had Died i'm the
Incubator at Kentucky Fair.

Louisville, Sept. 1.-THE baby incu-
bator show at the state fair was or
dered closed by the police last night.
This action followed the death of
two infants who were brought to this
city by a Chicago physician. They
came from a charity hospital in
Pittsburg. One of the infants, a boy.
was eight weeks old, and the other
girl, four weeks old. Both died of
inanition. DR.. E. ]. Meyer, in charge
of the medical department of the fair
says that the deaths were caused by
lack of nourishment and proper feed
ing. DR.. Douglas Snyder of Chicago,
who had charge of the baby incuba-
tor, says the deaths were caused by
exhaustion incident to the long trip.
A third infant, a girl two weeks old,
is in a serious condition and it is be-
Heved she will die.
The third baby died during the morn
ing and a short time later Col Scott
Bullitt, county attorney, ordered an in
vestigation into the matter. The ba-
bies it is understood were taken from
an asylum in ST. Paul, Mimi, and the
incubator exhibit was part of a show
company which goes from place to
place for the purpose of exhibiting.
Although the electric current at the
fair grounds was kept up during last
night it was shut off the two previous
nights and the heat was cut off from
the incubatorS.

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.
Is Made Against the Head of the
Theosophists at Point Iona.

San Diego, Cal. Sept. 17.--Owing to
sensational allegations contained in the
complaint, a suit to contest the will OF
Mrs. Harriet p. Thurston. the aged
members of the theosophical .organiza-
ton at Point Iona, of which Mrs
Katherine Tingley is the head. has
aroused considerable interest here.
The suit was filed by George Patter-
son, a son of Mrs. Thurston. who died
recently at Newburyport, Massachu-
setts. Charges of undue influence on
the part of Mrs. Tingley. to whom
Mrs. Thurston bequeathed $l5O,OoU'
are made the basis of the suit.
Mrs. Thurston was IA years old.
1t is charged that in furtherance of
a conspiracy, Mrs T1ngley placed as
sistants in constant contact with Mrs.
Thurston and that they impressed upon
the old lady the doctrine that the peo-
pIe of the world should constitute one
universal brotherhood; that family ties
were to be regarded as of minor i'm
portance; that her three children were
not entitled to any great part of her

Congressman Madison's Address to X.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 17.-An audi
ence of $500 people greeted Congress-
man E. H. Madison of the Seventh dis
trict when he arose in Robinson gym
nasium to deliver the opening address
of the University of Kansas for the
session of 1901. A group of stud
ents, political sympathizers of the con-
gresham, had gathered in one part of
the hall, and as soon as Chancellor
Strong had introduced the speaker they
"Stubbs, Madison, Murdoch, Bristow,
will sweep the land from Maine to
Frisco"
The audience laughed and cheered.
and Madison smilingly said, II want
to thank those young men for that
noble sentiment, in the genuine Kan
sas language. 1t makes me feel at
home here"
What the University of Kansas
Stands For was his subject.
''The purpose which inspired the
people of Kansas in founding the uni
versity," said Mr.. Madison, was to
provide a place where men and wo-
men can be trained to become leaders
of thought and action in the state.
You students who have come here with

THE FAIR PAYS OUT.
Will Be Money Enough to Settle All
Claims.

The first fair held in Topeka by the
Kansas State Fair association is a
thing of the past. In spite of repeated
efforts on the part of the weather man
to bring showers. there was nothing
doing in that particular. and including
the children who were admitted free
on Monday and the old soldiers whose
badges passed them through the gates,
aside from the many exhibitors and
others who held passes, it is estimated
that about 100000 persons entered the
grounds.
There was a paid attendance of
something like 75,0OO," said a member
of the board of managers, "and we
have come through nicely in finan-
cial way"
Most of the agricultural produce
was sold on the grounds, and many
sales were made of cattle. horses and
hogs. At 4 o'clock the work of tear
ing down and packing up the exhibits
began.
This morning the grounds looked
comparatively deserted, although there
was still some packing up" being
done. The office force of the fair as
sociation was hard at work getting the
thousand and one details. financial and
otherwise. Strengthened out.
Last night, Notwithstanding the fact
that there was no fair program and
the exposition had been officially de-
clared over, a crowd gathered on the
grounds.
Night entertainments at the fair
were an innovation and as they proved
a great drawing card they will be con-
tinued from year to year. The special
attractions of the fair were excellent
and pleased the crowds.
Secretary H. L. Cook expects to be-
gin early the work of planning for an
even greater fair and exposition for
next year. The people know that the
present management means business
and is capable of delivering the
goods" and the prediction is that both
in respect to entries and attendance
the fair of 1911 should surpass this
years show, although the latter ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations

TO TREAT ALL ALIKE.
Taft Letter on Patronage Goes to
Heads of Departments.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Indications
multiply that the letter written by
Charles D. Norton, secretary to the
president to an unnamed Iowa poll
tician, is an expression of the policy
of President Taft to be followed out
by the various departments of the gov
ernment in their attitude in matters
Of patronage toward all Republicans
whether they be insurgent or regular.
Copies of the letter have been sent
from Beverly to the executive heads of
all departments in Washington. The
copies were not accompanied by let
ter of transmitta1 directing the depart
ment heads to heed the suggestions
contained in the letter but merely by a
note that the letter had been written
by authority of the president. The let
ter itself is a direct statement that so
far as federal patronage is concerned
the regular Republican and the Sin
surgent'' Republican will look alike to
President Taft and is accepted as sig
nifcant Of the attitude Of the presi-
dent and of his intention to place all
Republicans, whether they be classed
as regular or insurgents on the
same plane so far as patronage is con-
cerned. The receipt of the letter crea-
ted considerable comment among de-
partment officials today but no differ
ence of opinion regarding it is express
ed
