SPEAKS AGAINST SOCIALISM.
David GoIdsteIn 10 Frequently Inter
rupted During Address.

That there were many Socialists In
the audience that gathered In st. JOS
eph's school hall, Thursday evening. to
hear David Goldstein, leader In the
national antiSocialist movement,
speak against the doctrines of that
party, was evident from the Kisses and
cat-calls that frequently interrupted
the speaker.
The presence Of several priests and
young men in the uniform of the
Knights Of st. John probably prevent
ed more serious trouble. The lecture
was under the auspices Of the German
Roman Catholic State Central assocl-
alton of Michigan. Speaking on the
topic, THE Tactics of Socialism. =
Mr.. Goldstein declared that Catholics
had no right to identify themselves
with the Socialist movement. arguing
that 1t was opposed to the primary
teachings OF the Catholic church. He
answered several questions sent up 10
him and closed by offering to meet III
debate any speaker the Socialists
might produce.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Ship
subsidy was denounced by Senator
Shively (Dem. Ind, in the senate to-
day, as a waste Of public money. The
decay of the American merchant
marine, he said, was due not to the
lack of bonus paid from the national
treasury, but to the operation Of an
antiquated navigation code.

From time imme memorial, sage and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. Almost everyone knows
Of the value Of such q combination
for darkeling the hair, for curing
.dandr,iff and falling hair, and for
making the hair grow.
# In olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic ofethis sort was to brew
;itain the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct. skillfully compounded in per-
fectly equipped laboratories. The
Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York put up an ideal remedy Of this
Sort. called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, and authorize
druggists to sell it under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if it
fails to do exactly as represented.
IF you have dandruff, or if your
hair is turning gray. or coming out,
don't delay, but get a bottle of this
remedy today, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

Elephants Cant slunn q.

Elephants Can't Jump.
There is one thing no one has erer
seen an. elephant do either III a circus
or outsof it. and that is to jump" said
a keeper in the Central park men:
agefie. SIS
THE fact is an elephant cannot
jump. Because Of his great weight be
cannot take all four feet off the ground
at once. He can make a 100 yard dash
at the rate Of twenty miles an hour,
which is going some. but if he was
pursuing an enemy and came to a deep
ditch eight feet across be would have
to stop short, because It is too wide for
him to step it and he is unable to jump.
An elephant is great coward. He
will have a fit il a rabbit runs between
his feet. He has tremendous strength.

 That's nice of you, and I hope you like the little gift. It really isn't a gift, Andrew. It's just necktie l made for you myself. wish it could have been something nicer-but you'll let the sentiment that goes with It count for what it lacks in value or beauty, won't yNu?''
 She carelessly reached up and ad- 1usted the spray of mistletoe, smiling also at Andrew Andrew stood there, turning the package over and over in his hands, blind as ever.

Also he realized lbat lie had not even wished her q merry Christmas ill the way he had planned to wish it.
 All the way home he abused him self for being such a fool. Why, any man with d spark of self-contidence. he told himself. would have told the girl what he had in his heart and in his pocket for her-would have made a neat but effective little speech of presentation, and would have conclud- cd his peroration With her head against his shoulder and her plump white hand in his.
 There cane to him flash of in spiration.
 Why not play Santa Claus, take the ring 10 Amahels home, climb in a side window from the porch, deposit the ring and a note in her stocking? This would make her feel that he had planned il all as real Christmas sur prise fer her. 4 Christmas gift and a Christmas proposal all at once would certainly appeal to the roman- tic side of any girl
 So he wrote his note, wrapped it about the ring, replaced the ring and the note in the little box, wrapped it lp. and beto5n himself to Amabels home.
 The porch from which he planned to effect his surreptitious entrance was side ore. lie remembered that last summer Amabels father had sad he must have the catch on the window repaired He knew perfectly well Amabels father hadn't done so- for he knew Amabels father was like all men.
 Through the side yard and over the uorch rail he went. The window he found unfastened. Carefully he raised it and felt his way into the room. To his astonishmen, he saw ray of light beneath the door and heard voices in the adjoining room--where the stockings were to be hung.

 The reply was a sniff from Amabel, which Andrew interpreted as being suggestion to her father that he mind his own affairs.
 Did you give him the necktie?" Amabel's mother asked.
 Yes.
 Did he like it?''
 "He never looked at it"
 Well, I must say! In my time young man would have shown more gallantry.'
 Not Ellington, mother, MT. Futile said. They never think of what to say until week later.
 Andrew grated his teeth. This was true. but not pleasant.
 Well, you couldn't expect him to fell how he liked it when he hadn't seen it." Amabel said, stoutly. And if wouldn't have been polite for him
