DISTRIBUTING THE GIFTS
Some Novel Ways That viii Please
the Recipients and Add to the
Occasion.

Should one wish something more
original than Christmas gifts awk'
wardly thrust into ones hands by the
giver; should the time-honored stock
ing pail, here are several new ways
that may cause excitement in present
distribution.
Some member Of the family or one
of the maids can enter the breakfast
room, where the table is prettily dec
Grated with green's, but no gifts are
displayed. She should be heavily veil
ed, dressed In a long rain coat and
carry two or three cotton umbrellas,
furled.
Her appearance will excite surprise,
particularly If the sun shines. She will
insist that it is going to rain and try
to get her umbrellas raised.
Some Of the children will offer to
assist and from the umbrella will fall
the packages. gaily tied and clearly
addressed. Anything that may suffer
from a tumble should be tied to the
ribs.
In one household the large family
has decided that each person shall
hunt up some novel way of gift pre-
sentation. No one will know what the
other has selected, but the element OF
SURPRISE will be emphasized.
A mother who wishes to avoid con-
fusion at the breakfast table has de-
cided that NO presentation should be
made then. The family will be asked
to put their various presents in GER

Stockings For Christmas onIv.

The Christmas stocking as generally
known is one taken from the bureau
supply for daily wear In certain parts
Of the country. however, the Christ
mas stocking is never in use except to
be hung from the chimney with
care" The New England stocking Of
this kind Is asaaiiy long in the leg
and knitted from woolen yarn. There
are stockings on Cape Cod which have
been used by four generations of chill
dren. Once emptied OF their treasure
on Christmas morning they are rollel
up and marked and laid away for the
next years festivities.

A GREiT-NEPHEW OF
D|Az COMES TO MEXICO
WITH COLONEL KOHR

Col. w. II. Kohr and family. Will
Col. j. H. Whitmore and Major c
+. Block, arrived in Mexico from
St. Charles Tuesday night to take
charge of the Mo. NJ. A. In a few
days Col. Kohr's household goods
will be here and then he will take
UP his residence at the Academy.
With Col. Kobr are two Mexicans
d. G. Aguinaya and G. Infante. The
former has been attending the st
Charles Academy and is contemplat
ing travelling for the Mo. NJ. A. this
summer. He expects 10 solicit in
his native country and already has
five Mexican students for the Acad,
emy next fall. He comes of the bet
ter class of Mexlcans. He remark
ed to a Ledger reporter Wednesday
morning that he was glad to come to
Mexico, Mo-, for the similarity OF
this name and the Republic of Mex
leo makes him feel more at home.
The other Mexican, Infante, has
been in Missouri only short time.
He came directly from the Republic
of Mexico and can speak very little
English. Both are from Leon, Mex
leo.
Infante is great nephew to Diaz,
formerly president of Mexico. He
says he Is an insurrecto when in the
Statos, but when in Mexico he Is
neutral. Though it is partly surmis-
ed, 1t is thought that Infante was
sent away by relatives in order to
avoid any probable trouble. He has
an uncle in st. Louis.
When called upon by Ledger re-
porter Wednesday morning Col.
Kohr was very much enthused over
the prospects for the school. He
said he had come to Mexico to To-
cafe permanently, and that he was
very much impressed with the people
of Mexico generally.
There will be some valuable i'm
provements at the Academy during
the summer" He said. Besides the
gymnasium which is now undergoing
repairs the students apartments will
be overhauled. We expect
to get some new furniture for the
boarding apartments and also new
china. Everything is to be in an up
to-date way and made as comfortable
and convenient as possible. The
bath rooms will be on the third
story"
Col Kohr stated he had Just re-
ceived official notification from the
U. S. War Department that he will
be given an army man to have charg
of the Military department. Cap
tain Geo. l.. Byroade will be sent
here.
Col. Kohr says he expects to
spend month or more calling upon
his old patrons before beginning to
make canvass for students. Be
sides Col. Kohr, j, II. Whitmore, G.
f. Block and the Mexican, Aguina-
va will solicit Off students. They
expect to start this work about

A CENTRAL HEATING (
PLANT THIS FALL

j. q. Hornung, OF Chicago, engin
eer OF the w. H. Scott Company
designing, consulting and construct
ing engineers, will meet with the
members of the city ccouncil this ev-
ening at 1880 at the city hall for
the purpose of explaining anddis
cussing a central heating plant pro
position.
This matter has been investigated
thoroughly by e. r. Locke, of the
Mexico Light and Power Co., who
has been quietly working on the
proposition for some time.
ut is the intention" said Mr..
Locke. ito get the heating plant in
operation by October first, for
the business section. The mains will
be laid so that they can be extended
into the resident section without
molesting the streets the second
time"
Heating plants, it is said, are
proving successful in towns of other
states that are much larger than
Mexico. The proposition will be
