THE CHRISTMAS ORATORIO

More than a century and a
half have flown since the great
Christmas oratorio. Handlers
"Messiah" was written but the
music, like the theme, will never
die. Rather, like its theme again
it grows more popular with the
passing years.
1t was first given in Dublin for
the cause of charity, for Handel
had a specially warm spot in his
heart for the Irish people, and
he was never happier than when
helping the poor and needy.
When writing the oratorio,
which has for its theme the ad-
vent of the Messiah, it seemed as
if Handel was inspired. So
transported was his soul that he
says 81 did think [ saw all
heaven before me, and the great
God himself. The sublime
grandeur of the Hallelujah Cho-
rus touches the emotions of well
nigh every hearer. AS is well
known the audience invariably
rises when this chor US is sung
This custom dates back 10 the
first time George II of England
heard it. He was so affected by
The wondrous majesty of its
music that he leaped to his feet
and remained standing, the au-

CONVICTS AND GOODS ROADS

The agitation concerning the
employment of convicts in pub
lie road building is taking root
and at the same time becoming
widespread. In the South and
Northwest convicts are used ex
tensively in road building and
with good results. There is lit
tie doubt but that the subject
will come up for discussion at
the coming session of our legis'
lature and that the plan will
have many supporters. Its
adoption would mean a saving t'
the taxpayers and a benefit tc
the prisoners.

He selects each season 2,0O0 chorus girls.
 Styles in girls" declared Herr Berg, are just as well defined as in any other branch of trade. The kind of girl who made hit last year will not do at all this winter. There is just one kind of girl who can make a hit this season. Here is her description:
 She must have black hair
 She must have brown eyes.
 She must have olive skin.
 She must be slight very slight.
 A year or so ago everybody was raving over statuesque girls The more majestic a woman, the icier she appeared the greater the admiration of masculine audiences. But now it is all changed. The small dark girl has the call"

ONE MORAL CODE FOR BOTH SEXES,
 JUDGE DECIDES

OGDEN. Utah. Dec 9. The single law for men and women is pitted against the "unwritten law" in
 a murder trial here. The prosecu- tion attempted to show today that Henry Southworth set the example of mariral unfaithfulness in follow ing which, if the claims of the defense are true, Mrs Southworth brought to death her admirer. Ned Hanks, a band manager. Southworth shot and killed Hanks while the latter
 was walking with Mrs Southworth.
 Mrs. Bessie Streitt. lodging house keeper of Salt Lake testified for the state that Southworth oc- cupied room at her house with a woman who passed as his wife. In 9Verruling objections to the testi-
 mony the court tacitly admitted the single standard of morals as an is
 sue in the trial in so far as it may affect the opinions of the jurors on
 Southworth's Justification
 Mrs. Streitt testified also. that
 she had been offered $1O0 to $500 to
 withhold her testimony The source
 of the offer did not come out. Her
 statement concerning Southworth's conduct and the attempted bribery are denounced by the defense as false.
