THE NEW COINS AND BILLS.

The changes now being made in the designs of paper money and of the five cent piece arc received with some derision of humorous para graphers. Nevertheless. every man who ever had much to do with the printing business will be pretty sure to welcome the proposed changes as soon as they appear.
 Any printer with an eye for crafts manship would say that the designs of American coins and paper mon ey have looked about like the printing that used to be put out 2s to so years ago.
 Any man with an eye for form should see how great an improve ment the Lincoln cent was over the anciet and commonplace draw ing of the old copper. The slender and graceful lettering. the suppress sion of needless detail so as to throw attention on the central fea- lures. and the graphic illustration of the Lincoln head. create design of which Americans may we'll be proud.
 II you look over the types of a print shop, you can detect the old faces by their coarse shading. and the stiff monotony of their box like right angles. The fat letters on the old coins and on the present paper money are like these old type faces. A good printer would scarcely care to turn on, an auction bill with such ungraceful types. .t...
 It may be said tha. these symbols of value facetiousiy known as the long green pass so rapidly from hand to hand, that it makes no diff erence whether their designs are good or moi Provided they pass

CHRISTMAS IN THE SUNDAY
 SCHOOL.

Through most of the year the problem ot maintaining Sunday school attendance seems increas inyly difficult Rewards oi gilt pins, crosses and crowns. and iluminat ed and Illustrated cards affect the child mind with more or less persu asiveness But all these schemes stir the paded feet of the unwilling scholar but for time.
 The lure of the Christmas tree pulled the boy of generation ago, who annually turned up to ge, his quain, copy of the suited Rollo books. It pulls the boy of today who is willing to hear even about Habbakuk and Mclchisedek. in order 10 help strip this shining and gilt tering foliage of Childland
 Not that the Sunday school scho- lar is satisfied with the gifts that chance and Teacher may aGarS him. I, costs money 10 run Sun day school. Teacher has serious problem to make a respectable show ing with the fragment of small change from an insoivent treasury.
 I, is the elemen, of suspense tha, gives this drawing power even ,o . small gift The unimaginative teacher will give Sl00 scholars companion" year after year. This array of school room tools makes the eyes dance the first time. But when repeated all the element of mystery is gone The youngsters look enviously at other kidletS. ,o whom there came the Joy of the Un- expected in the form of 20 cen, knife.
 IL of course looks nowadays as if you had to bribc the children to study the Bible For wages of candy, popcorn, and jackknives, they are willing To listen, with some in terruptions of turmoil. while the Teacher talks about the worlds one real book
 Still let no one become pcssimis- tic. Render unto Caesar the things that arc Caesars, runs the Word Tha, means that you have got to satisfy the boy out of the coin of Boyland, which of course is the candy, popcorn, and jackknives aforesaid.

GIRL IS LEFT TO
 MOURN HIS FATE.
From Sundays Daily,

Howard Kearney, a half-brother of Horace Kearney. the aviator who was drowned with Chester Law. renee of Redondo Beach, Cal. sev- eral days ago, passed through thi; city from Kansas City. for Los Angeles to receive the remains and take them back to the above city for interment.
 Speaking of the sad fate that over took his brother, Mir. Kearney says it was 10 be expected, as he was "a most daring aviator. and against the protestations of several relatives and scores of friends, he persisted in making record flight and treat cd his perifous antics in mid-air in a jocular manner. He was. in short the most entrepid of birdmen, and on one occasion in the east, before a small audience. his feats were astounding from danger stand point. The harder the wind was blowing all the more anxious was he to. get within the clutches Of the elements, and to baffle with them with his airship.

THE DECLINE OF SANTA
 CLAUS

The Santa Claus myth is explod- ed carly in life nowadays. Form. erly the mere presence of painted jumping jacks and sticky candy Lc- fore tn, hearth was irrciutable proof that he had been there .f some ptccocious skeptis asked how he could come down narrow chim- ney. there was always the well au- ,henticatcd fact that Santa has the power of cnlarging and expanding his body at will. Al least this phil osophy was convincing until one was about 10 years old.
 How many children of seven to- day believe in dear old Santa,
 There IS growing scorn now for delightful unrcali,ics, and no, merely among grown-ups either. The boy who once drowscd off to sleep pi,curing himself staying buff alo and killing Indians, is now merely studying how he can down the kids of the next street at foot ball One by one the myrths of childhood vanish. IL is an age of cities People live amid bricks, mortar, and cement. Myths were born in darkling forests and among the silcnces of the mountains.
 Reading fairy stories is regarded by the children as about on par with playing paper dolls. No boy of seven can any longer be irigh- tened by the bogie man.
 Literalists are opposed to the Santa Claus myth IL destroys faith in truthfulness. they say. Yet can the child mind be brought up in an atmosphere of liberalism to- day? Every other word he hears is some fiction spoken in jest He must learn to distinguish the whim- sical and innocent unrcalities of or. dinary conversation. from the yellow and sinking falsity of real lie. Otherwise he will be that primmest and most priggish of men. the fellow who can't take a joke.
 This is an age of too little imagi- nation rather than too much. The world prefers its dollars. its auto. it's wines. it's sauces. to poetry and ideals. Don't close the shades of the prison house around the growing hoy any earlier than you can help. Let him dream some of the old dreams againi Give Santa his own place in the Calendar n uaiti'

KEEPING COOL IN LEADER.
 SHIP.

In. addressing the southern Socic- .ty of New York President elect Nil- son i, reported to have discoursed .",omcwhat vchcmcntiy" on politics. He said among other things that he had recently found "an increased temptation ,n profanity, and tha' he thought the recording angel m such eases is ndulgent, "ior there i, such q thing as righteous anger No doub, oi the righteousness of earnest disappfoval at times. but the way to make it count is not by an agi,atcd manner and explosive words AS Mir. Wilson has mention ed the matter it is we'll Co remind him that it was not by Cxpletivcs that Washington, Lincoln and Grant carried great responsibilities sue ccssiully Washington is said to have been proiane but once. and that was when Gen. Charles Lee. commanding the advance of the pa ,riot army at Monmouth, deliberate ly disobcyed orders and enabled the retrca,ing British forces to escape a crushing blow. Lincoln's way was not to swear things through. and Grant was always the silent man in crisis. letting results speak for him
 To come to later example Will li,m McKinley's name occurs pleas ingly to his fellow countrymen. He never lost his temper nor used heat ed language Yet throughout his long public life he dealt with all sorts of complicated situations and difficult affairs. No man ever work ed harder in studying tariffs and making them. He was. much as he loved peace. war president, and an exceptionally successful one. In an extraordinary assault on real values he was an effective leader. He quiet ed scctionalism and treated political parties other than his own with considerate good temper. It was said after he had fallen at the post oi duty, an innocent victim of insane human malignity. that his uniformly good statesmanship was marked by gentle innexibility." It was kindly as we'll as sound. The world knows of nothing he said that would have offered the recording angel Mir Wilson should keep cool. Calmness will tighten the load he has courted with little experience and uncertain qualifications.

THE CAT CONGRESS AND CATS

The announcement. that Cat Congress is ,o be held during Janu ary at Washington will he received with varied emotions
 The position of Kitty in modern society has been under attack of late from many humanitarian pco- pie. The complaint |, that cats de stroy grca, many birds, many more than is commonly supposed
 The holding of Cat Congress may seem to such persons an un- worthy dignifying of an animal whom they feel ,o be hostile 10 peace and harmony in the family of lower animals. To this it might be said that ii all friends of cats would attach tinkling bell during the months when young birds arc lcarninf to fly, this charge against poor Tabby could not bc made. There may be other persons. who, while not hostile to the Cat for such reasons, yet would regard the Cat as too inconspicuous an animal to |
 be digni6cd by the holding oi a Congress. They will ask why men and women should hire a hall, travel distances to transport their feline thoroughbrcds. spend valuable time and money on an animal that pro- duces neither food nor drink. Anyone who has read in Rudyard Kipling's Just So" stories, of the "Cat who walked by its wild lone waving its wild tail" must admi, the justice of his feeling that the Cat is a creature having a very aristocra,ic dignity of its own. Not merely is the Cat creature of singular beauty. graceful in every motion. Not merely does she have hereditary function in the family as destroyer of vcrmin. More than that she has a certain self-con- tained independence that gives in terest to her character. She is at tractcd more to places than people, she holds herself in reserve, she has her own determined will. she never gives herself to human beings in the affcctionate transports manifested by the dog.
 Weekly as Kitty sits purring by the iresidc, she has certain very distinctive and sclf-contained per sonality of her own. calmly indc- pendent of hum comings and goings if her simple wants arc supplied This self sufficient reserve attracts an interest you cannot feel in the dog who follows every passerby who whistles at hom. We'll may fine type of cats then be bred, and dis playeH al Cat Congresses. and per haps Under such training the pre- datory instincts of common mongrel types could be eliminated.

CUPID AND MISS COULD.

Not long ago Miss Helen Gould felt moved. under criticism by q Denver clergyman oi all women who remain unmarried from choice. to say tha, !, is the privilccge of q woman not ,o marry until she pleas e to do SO The lady's argument was unanswcrablc. alike from the vicwpoin, of law and of taste It carried with it q suggc stion oi q woman's equal righ, ,o marry when it pleases her. and the man making the request also pieascs her. The an nouncement of her engagement to Mir. Finley j. Shepard of St Louis shows how Miss Gould has cxcrcis- cd both of these inalienable woman's $ rights. We violate no dclicacy, and certainly no confidence. and no rcasonablcncss. in saying that. after having looked askance at many un- pleasing sutors, in exercising the privilege of her sex. she now cxcr- cises is other great privilege in ac cepting the pleasing one
 There is no fact or more pleasing study than the mind of good wom- an. in matters of the heart Inspired always by good motive. it often reveals its workings in an innocent artlcssness which does not belong to the mind oi man. We may be pardoned if we call attention to the fact that, when the lady's sensitive ness was touched by a challenge of the right of her sex to remain single from choice. she had bu, just me, the fortunate man in whom subsc- Quent events show her to have been we'll pleased. Their acquaintance be gan with the beginning of trip by party for the inspection oi railway branches of the '. NJ. (. A. of which Miss Gould has been a benefactrcss Mir Shepard. as assis tant to President Bush of the Mis- souri Pacific. was in charge. It was early in that trip. if we remember rightly, that the Denver man spoke and Miss Gould answered. little sus- pecting that Cupid was then drawing bow and aiming an arrow at her or, if suspccting. arming herself against it in vain. It is the way oi her sex. But. then. Miss Gould's de- claration of independence did not say that all men arc equal. IL said on the contrary. that men are not equal. and that it is woman's priv ilege to wait for the one she thinks the best.
 Mir. Shepard is quoted as saying he can hardly believe even yet. that it is his good fortune to be the choice of such a woman. II is not strange that he should feel so. The lady has ever been, since they came 10 know her. one in whom Ameri- cans have felt pride. and for whom they have entertained a genu- inc affection. Born to great refine ments which wealth can give. and with entree to exclusive circles in this country and Europe. she has re- mained "heart whole and fancy free" because she was long in meeting a man measuring up to her American ideals. In the eyes of a people who have come to feel that Miss Gouid's choice could fall on no unworthy man. Mir. Shepard is to be congratu- lated not only on his felicity but on the right distinguishment it brings him.
