HIS LITTLE SCHEME FAILED
SmuggIer Beaten at His Own Game When He Tries to Get Scalskin
 Coat Across Line.

The man who had gone over to the Canadian side of the river to get a better view of Niagara falls was about to start back.
 He was carrying light oyercoat on his left arm.
 T beg your pardon, madam" he said, addressing d prepossessing mat ron, but l should like to ask you to do me favor, if you don't mind"
 What is it?" she asked.
 Cautiously lifting an edge Of the light overcoat, he exposed to view a costly sealskin garment.
 Would you have any objection to putting this on and wearing it until We got across the bridge?" he said. Not at all"
 Fifteen minutes later.
 Thank you very much, madam"
 Not at all'
 Nobody is looking. If you will take off that jacket now, I'll hide it under my coat again
 I'm not going to take it off"

 T am going to keep it."
 Well, of all the"
 Make fuss about it if you feel like it, sir, and you'll be in jail in about two winks and one gasp. Run along, now"

Recently in Seattle in a cigar-stand appeared the sign, We give $15.00 for 1909 Lincoln pennies" No less per son was attracted by this than Judge Watson. He walked up to the counter and laying down penny trlumphantIy asked for $15.00. The clerk took the penny, examined it closely, asked if it were genuine. and after several min utes sighed and said he guessed it was good.
 Certainly it is," answered the judge. Where is my $f500."

SAW NEW YORK TURN TO BEER

(Fron the. New York Sun. When the late Peter DoeIger came over here as a lad from Bavaria s2 years ago lager beer, in. the brewing l of which he was to make a fortune, was an exotic and unappreciated drink. There were small establish ments here before him, and the great flood of immigrant ton from the con tinent may be dated from 1S4S, the year of revolution. Sixteen years or so before Peter DoeIger, Fanny Rem
 ble visited this town: Our remem4
 brance of her American Journal is that she found New Workers soaking no n1eager quantities brandy and other strong waters; in the .aftern oon at that, since dinner was very early in this simple village of the7'3Os. Of wines, heady and rich there was con- siderable consumption among the prosperous; but what took the place of the. cheap, democratic and mildly alcoholic conso1er or seducer, beer? We see .'ales" and :'porters,' in old advertisements, but whisky and bran dy seem to have prevailed. Travellers to the westward report the same bev- erages, only good many degrees her1ef and more furious.
 Stxty-odd years ago lager beer was a. mysterious German. drink as re- mote from most of the community as pulque or vodka is today. MT. Sted- mans Ballad of Lager Bier in the late soc mmemorates som metIfng of

the new wonder, that beer coast of Bohemia, whereof Pfaff's is remem- bered, somewhat, too tiresomely per haps for this generation. as the chief literary and artistic port.
 Long before Peter Doelger became old New York and much of the rest of the country was true to beer. What yer can be said for it or against-and Id much might be said against it as compared with the slower and warm CT German stuff-its Bacchic potency Is of the mildest and the gentlest.
 This state, in which Peter Doelger lived and died is the most majestic maker and consumer of beer in the Union. We don't know how much ale and porter is included, but the Commissioner of internal revenue in dicates nearly 14,000,OOO barrels of fermented liquors made in New York a year.

29O CHILDREN GET
 SANTA CLAUS TRIP
Village Guests of Woman Taken on Special Train to Hartford For Dinner and Toys.

Hartford, Dec. l19-Two hundred and ninety children, with a few adults to give an appearance of discipline, trav- eled to this city on a special train yesterday from Norfolk and other vil- lages near Wfnsted, Litchfield county, on the annual Santa Claus excursion given by Miss Mary E1dridge, veal thy philanthropist of Norfolk. Miss EIdridge has been giving these excur- sions for sixteen years. Because of the serious illness of her sister, Mrs. E. l. Swift, of Atlantic City, Miss Eldfidge was unable to accompany her little. beneficiaries yesterday.
 Immediately after arriving in Hart ford they were taken to one of the largest hotels. where a Yuletide din- ner was served. Then some chose theatres, some a sightseeing tour and others a shopping expedition. Later all were taken to the toy departments of the big stores, and when their spe- cial train departed for Litchfield late last evening each carried externally and internally load Of good things.

A BUSY LITTLE INDUSTRY.

When one says pie, 1t doesn't mear very much as a rule. One thinks of just one little tasty pie. But can you imagine an industry which through m echanical contrfvances and expert help, realizes an output of between 1000 and 5000 pies in one day. The F'risbie Pie Co. did this in furnishing its satisfied patrons with the most homelike pies for their Thanksgiving dinners.
 The Frisbie Pie Co. was started by the late William R. Frisbie, some 40 years ago.
 When this industry was started, pies were made and baked in one small room and in one small oven. Delivery started in a small way with one team and then two, and all the way up with success was this care fulness and foremost thought of quality. It is what makes Frisbie's s pies delicious and only the best of everything is bought and used in the manufacture of these most efficient desserts. As to cleanliness, it's cook ing and baking departm compare only with the best and neatest of kitchens.
 Instead of having the one room and one oven and two teams as one can

Washington, DC, Dec. 19.-A lead ing member of the House rules com lnfttee says it is as good as decided there shall be a broad investigation of railroad transportation conditions in New England, and that Swagar Sherley, represen ntative from Ken lucky, has assented to become chair man of the special committee to con- duct the undertaking. It is proposed to rewrite the O'Shaune essy resolution during the. holidays this Democrat says, and to widen its scope. The, in vestigation may extend to politics, as there is suggestion that ex-Senator William E.. Chandler of New Hamp- shire be asked to assist the special committee It is said that the matter will be discussed in a caucus of House Dem ocrats next month. 5...4
 Pressure already has been brought to bear upon some of the Democratic leaders to have, the Investigating com mittee inquire into the political pow CT and relations of the railroads in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Con- necticut and Rhode Island, particu- larly. The old charge that the Bos- ton and Maine railroad, since passed under the control of the New Haven road, used it's powerful influence to bring about the defeat of Senator Chandler and to dictate the filling of other offices in that state, has been brought to the attention of some of the leaders along with other politi cal matters.

mbibe from untaught teachers the im- pression that the Jews are under q blight and curse, and are, in fact. a parous folk
 But this all arises from what ought to be recognized as the temporary, acci- dental element in New Testament lit- erature. It Is quite out of accord with the spirit of Jesus, which Is to say the spirit of eternal religion. The heat and the bitterness of first century debate are past These fires are dead. And yet what Christian minister or teacher has not time and again blown on that old cinder heap, led his interested and self satisfied hearers to see what dreadful ly sbad lot the first century Jews were? Which of us has not, time and again. laid all the blame on the Jews. because certainly the writers of the New Testa- ment must have been everything that they ought to have been? Alas, how many. many times Jesus from the ground suspires' and the wordl of His sigh through the centuries has been, "Ye know not what manner Of spirit ye are of"
 Perhaps it is not necessary to say that American society Is more pagan than Christian. With all it's charm and it's beauty and it's philanthropy, marking uncounted thousands of individuals and modifying it's thought at it's heart 1t is selfish and hard, cruel and wayward, brutal in some of It's fairest beauties, vain in some of it's gentlest ministries. This is a trulsm indeed. whether you say American, or French, or German, or English, or any other. Society Is the ons thing that defies all the arts of God the supremely unchristian fact in this whole world. It is heir of pagan Rome, pagan Greece, pagan Egypt, pagan
