When Christmas gifts bear with
them kindly thoughts or careful work
on the part of their donor and a recog-
milton of good taste In those to whom
them are given, the recipients are
sure to be pleased. And. whether the
purse be fat or lean. good manage
ment and cleverness make it possible
to embody these ideas in all gifts.
Those which are the handiwork of the
givef are whose which make the
strongest appeal to our hearts and
bring home the sweet. gracious spirit
of Christmas.
What taxes US most each year ia
the matter Of deciding on what to
give. After this has been settled upon

are called opera caps. They are all
simply made. It isn't a bad idea to
decide on q gift OF this kind and make
them up for all ones girl or women

to make several caps at one sitting

By Progressive Party in Ohio

Columbus. O.. Aug. 2s.-lt is be-
ginning to look as if Secretary OF State
Graves. in his official capacity of chief
election supervisor, is not going to
have a Very difficult task before him
in deciding what to do with candt-
dates for state officers who want to
remain on the republican ticket and
at the same time get on the progress
sive, or bull moose ticket in this state.
The bull moosers are going to decide
this question themselves. from all in

that the Roosevelt people mean busi-

clusion they have a chance to win If
they stick TO the text of their party
and permit no straddling and that they
are going to make straight-out dec
laration of principles fashioned after
the platform of the late progressive
convention at Chicago.
The call for the progressive conven-
ton has been issued by James r..
Garfield, chairman Of the provisional
committee. and it leaves no doubt AS
to the kind of convention the bull
lumbus, September and 5. 1t Is set
out in unmistakable terms that the
republican party in this state has be-

usefulness. The need for a new party
is argued exhaustively if not convinc-
ingly. and the whole document leaves
no room to doubt the ultimate pur-
pose to form a new party in the state
on the lines of the Roosevelt plat
form and that there will he no flirt-

Absence Of any direct news from the

eight hours is sign Of intense activity
on the part Of the rebels outside Of

The ENJOYS in Washington from the
liberal party are Francisco Altschul,

Honduran minister to Washington.
They are seeking to reach the state de-

American naval force there he dimin-

that then the American minister
should demand that all factions. in

state department would entertain any
proposal for the reduction Of the
