city In 1889 desiring more retirement she
removed to the charming estate named
Pleasant View in Concord, y. II. There it

front of her boudor is a noiseless electric
elevator by means of which she easily
reached the dining room or the rooms on
the third floor. Her own rooms were fur
nished in exquisite taste and perfect In
every respect so far as comfort and rest
fullness are concerned The rooms can
be lighted either by gas OF electricity and
communicate with wide iron balcony on
which Mrs. Eddy often took an airing in
the evening. The rooms Of her secretaries
and other attendants are on the top floor.
The kitchen and the laundry are located in
the basement.
Practically all OF the fortune left by
Mrs. Eddy had been accumulated in the
last SIX or seven years. This statement
was made by Alfred Farlow, manager Of
the publication committee Of the church
Few, even among the captains of industry
so-called, can equal this record of having
saved for her own uses (coincident with
those of her faith in this instance) approx
mately s1,5OO,OOO, after having devoted sew
eral hundreds of thousands OF dollars to
the expenses Of the Glover suit and the set,
Element Of that action, and after having
contributed thousands Of dollars more to
many worthy causes in this country and
elsewhere.
The large sums OF money have resulted

the numerous other publications which her
church publishing organization has put out.
Formerly Science and Health" bore the
imprint Of each new edition, but this mark

press has been done away with. 1t may
be said, however, that nearly 100000 copies
OF the book have been sold and distributed
in many countries.

by Mrs, Eddy to institutions and causes

were many, and some of them were for
considerable amounts. Mr.. Farlow says
that when Mrs Eddy gave 100000 to the
christian Science church in Concord, N. H.,
she then had only about $4,000 left, and
that the amassing Of her real fortune may
be said TO have begun about the time when

hold expenses were large enough to have
taken considerable income to meet.
Despite all OF these expenses and gen
erous donations, Mrs Eddy, therefore, had
been able to live more than comfortably
in costly home and had at the same
time put away more than $500 900 yearly.
The fortune of the Scientists leader is
invested practically all in securities of
the most stable type which pay good
dividends with practical certainty. The

lots with their houses in Commonwealth

There is a Santa Claus

Once little girl wrote this letter to the editor Of the
New York Sum
''Dear Editor: l am years old. Some of my friends
say that there is Santa Claus. Papa says You
it in the SUM- it's So Please tell the truth Is there
a Santa CLAUSE VIRGINIA o. HANLON."
And the editor of the Sun, mighty of invective
and sarcasm became even little child and wrote
the following charming reply:
VIRGINIA. Your little friends are wrong, They
have been affected by the skepcsm of skeptica age
They will not believe except they
''Yes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus He exists
certainly love and generosity and devotion exist and
you know that they abound and give your life its high
est beauty and joy Alas how dreary would be the world
if there Santa Claus 1t would be dreary if
there were no Virginias. There would be chdlike
faith then no poetry to make tolerabe this
existence We should have enjoyment except in
and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished.
''You might get your papa to hire men to watch all
the chimneys Christmas to catch Santa Claus but
even if they did not Santa Claus coming down. what
would that prove? Nobody Santa Claus The most
real things in the world those that neither children
nor men see. Nobody conceive imagine all the
wonders that unseen and Unseeable in this world.
You may tear apart the baby rattle and what makes
the noise inside, but there is veil covering the
world which not the strongest that lived could tear
apart Only faith fancy, poetry love and romance
push aside that curtain and view and picture the upena
beauty and glory beyond. Is all real Ah Virginia, in
all this world there is nothing real and abiding.
''No Santa Claus Thank God, he lives and lives for
ever A thousand years from now, Vrginia-nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now-he will continue
to make glad the heart of childhood"

effectively
To go over such list of shops and their
attractions hurriedly cannot do them jus
tice because they combine in their stocks
everything that human nature Graves or
uses cooks or eats buys for keeps or
just TO give away. From a grand plano
to a tiny doll baby; from a great piece
OF art 10 a pocket knife; from a set OF
costly volumes to a penny Christmas card;
from the most ornate article of vertu or
cut glass to a jumping jack: from jewels
to joss sticks--the whole gamut Is covered
forward and back. Lean purse or fat
wallet can be satisfied most any doorway
one steps in. quickly and satisfactorily.
And shopping should be done early in
the day, at the beginning of the week, so
that the clerks can get at least finger
hold on proper spirit Of thankfulness and
rejoicing.

The candidacy Of Hon. U. L. Burdick,
of Munich, for the republican nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor has been
made public in an official announce
ment over his own signature. No doubt
considerable pressure was brought to
bear on Mr.. Burdick and his consens to
run doubtless gives much satisfaction to
his party admirers over the state. But
it also is quite generally a surprise after
his emphatic withdrawal from the field
political less than a couple of weeks ago,
to learn that he laid aside his prejudices
and permitted his political eliminators
to traffic on his personal popularity,

Governor Burke said a good thing
when he remarked at the Jefferson
banquet at st. Paul that it was not
enough for the democrats to depend on
the mistakes of the republicans to elect
them, and that they must show the
people that they had the remedy. With
good leadership there is no reason why
the democrats should not win in the
next presidential election. The republi-
cans can hardly make any worse mis-
takes than they have or get the country
by the ears. A policy laid on
patriotic grounds and for the best
interests of the people will attract
thousands to the democratic standard,
but this leadership must not be in the
hands of the men who helped Cannon
and Aldrich pass the nefarious tariff bill.
On this latter point the governor was
very direct and very corrset.-Fargo

Socialists of Ward county have decid-
ed to promulgate a campaign for the
election of a set of county officers this
year. At a convention held in Minot
the entire ticket was selected, there be.
ing no vacancies from the top to the
bottom. In the platform adopted there
are some interesting points. The
socialists would separate the department
of agricultural from the political govern
ment by means of the election of all
members and officers of the board of
agriculture by the direct vote of the
actual farmers. They would also have
the state erect elevators and warehouses
for the storage of farm products. Aid
and encouragement of farmers CO.
operative associations would be given
whenever possible, while the free dis.
tribution of text books on farming is
also advised.

Hicks forecast for May predict a
reactionary storm period is centeral on
the End, 3rd and 4th, during which days
look for change to warmer, with falling
barometer, cloudiness and rain, all
beginning in western sections and pass
ing in due order eastward over the coun-
try on and touching the dates named.
Brief reaction to cooler, with rising
barometer will follow closely behind
these disturbances. A regular storm
period is central on the 9th extending
owe the 9Th to the 18th. Moon is on
the celestial equator on the 9Th, in peri
gee on the Sth, and new moon at an
eclipse node falls on the 9th, the central
day of the period. Storms of tornado
character are more than probable during
this period.

Raising Your Own Eggs,

The Brooklyn Eagle takes eggs from
cold storage at $50 cents a DOZEN for
the text Of a sermon on raising eggs
for family use. 1t declares that eggs
are one Of the easiest crops to raise,
that land good for nothing else is all
right for chicken runs, and sc on. This
advice is at n C encouraging and tan
talizing. Doubtless hundreds of city
families will take that sermon to heart
and move out upon a bit of land where
chickens can be raised.
But the records Of amateur egg rails
ers tell another story. Some expense
and much labor are involved in setting
up and caring for even a couple of
dozen hens. When the amateurs hens
are laying eggs are cheap in the mar
ket, and when eggs are at the top
notch the amateurs hens are on a
strike. A few hens work in we'll with
a garden plot, a pig and a COW perhaps
if there is some one always on the
job of looking after them. Hard work
ing, thrifty people manage these things
to a profit, but the outskirts Of every
town and city in the land are dotted
with abandoned chicken farms, which
cost the owners first and last double
the value Of their product. For one
thing, the 2 by 4 chicken house is not
a place for hens to thrive in.
