Daddy Bedtime

Christmas Stockings

AID daddy as Jack and Evelyn snuggied closer:
Twas the night before Christmas. Not a creature was stirring
except the little gray mouse In the pantry.
"Mousie stuck her nose out Of her doorway. Ny, how good it
snnened I'm that pantry! There was a. whin of fruit cake and mince pie and
doughnuts and plum pudding and cookies and cuMards and Jeles and, oh,
heaps of other good things all rolled into one tempting Chrfstmasy smell.
And so moude stuck her nosef farther out OF the hole and shifted hungrny,
Then she cEawled out on the pantry floor and from there hoped up to- the
pantry shelves But the housewife had been around when Bridge, the cook,
was putting the goodies away, and 90 every single thing ws safely covered
They'd never miss the bite I'd eat said nousie Indignantly. And to
think this is Chrstmas eve, too, when folks are supposed to be so kind and
generousI Well, I must say they are not very generous to mice in this house
Mousse pattered out into the Kitchen. There wasn't a crunb on the
floor. Then she rotbed into the sitting room. "
THE fire was low, and there was nothing to eat there, but she went to
work Of a nice warm hole she was nibbHng near the IRE.
"As she nibbled she heard a great rafting In the chimney. Some mortar
fell down on the hearth, and after 1t came a plump little man with a great
pack on his back. " # +#.@ ts=r#= M
'The man wore a big fur coat and a fr cap, and in the cap was stuck a
spng Of holly. Out OF his pack peepsd the heads of dolls and toy horses and
all sorts OF animals <tf.E"@ ..Eaa
Never had mouae seen such a queer looking little man, but his face was
50 round and Jolly she wasn't a bit afraid Of him. However mousie thought it
just as well to keep back where she would no be seen.
1.-THE little man put his pack on thetabe and began to take things out of it
"Ny, oh, my shifted mouie; Il smell peanusP Then she shifted again.
Candy and oranges and little cakesn she cried, ."@
"The little man took down two stockings which were hanging by the fire.
place and began to put into them all sorts of goodies.
"'There! cried the little man when the stockings weref filed. There are
my Christmas compliments to the children, and now up the chimney again.
SIN a minute he had down up the chimney, and meusie had crept out of.
her corner. When she vas sure the coast was clear she ran along the moidtng
till she reached a stocking. and then she nibbted a little hole in the toe. All the
candy and good things poured out O the floor where she could eat her fill in
comfort and when the children got up in the morning they found what
mouie had left So you see me little mouse had a nice Christmas"

Whiskey and Pine for Colds
Fine Formula for old Time Remedy
Cured Thousands Here Last
Winter.

The increased use of whiskey for
colds is causing considerable discussion
among the medical fraternity. 1t is an
almost infallible cur when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. From your druggist get
W ounces of Glycerine and half an
ounce of Globe Pine Compound (Con-
centrated Pine). Take these two in
gradients home and put them into a
half pint of good whiskey. Shake we'll
and take n to two ~teaspoonfuls after
each meal n at bed time" Smaller
doses to children according to age. This
treatment often knocks the worst
cough or cold in a day. But be sure to
get only the genuine. Each h~alf-ounce
bottle comes in a sealed tin screw-top
case. If your druggist does not have
1t in stock he will quickly get it Don't
experiment with cheap uncertain mix
lures. 1t is very risky. Local drug

FIBs ABOUT PUsLIc MEN.

4 -... ~" s~-- -..r=-
Many people have a way Of telling
little fbs on public men that is at
least annoying to the victims. For in
stance, a professor of the University
of Michigan said of Speaker Clark,
when he recently lectured before the
university, that he was so drunk that
his fraternity brothers had to take him
in charge.
This was more than Mr.. Clark could
stand, and in order that he might sue
cessfully refute the charge and vindi-
| cate himself he has served notice on
the offending professor that unless he
retracts the allegation and makes
| proper amends that he will be sued for
libel.
Mr.. Clark addressed a letter to the
professor, denying that he had been
drunk, and declaring that he had not
since 1904, and hat he had never at
any time in his life drunk liquors to
any great extent
Ordinarily public men pay no at
tention to such mean and contemplate
ISLANDERS like this one, but it proved to
be so annoying and humiliating that
Mr.. Clark felt that he could not let
it go by unnoticed, and he has chal-
lenged his slanderer to either make
good his charges or retract them, and
no doubt the lesson the professor
learns in this tongue-wagging stunt Of
his will be one of the most valuable
ones he has ever learned throughout all
the days or his university experience,
for he cannot very effectively instruct
in discretion, good morals and gentle
manners.

Vanderbilt,s carpet.

The Churcnman: This is how the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt found him.
self giving to an institution the same
costly carpet he had just selected for
his ~palatial New York home:
Saint Johnland is a church commu-
nifty or Long Island, where differences
of faith play little part in the admis-
sion of some 200 children and old peo-
pie. Mr.. Vanderbilt. its vice president,
offered one day, through DIR. Henry
Mottet, to give the chapef a much-
needed carpet, and told DR.. Mottet
where to buy it. The article continues:
Get the very best" said Mr.. Wander
bilt, who had just finished his new
house at / West Fifty-seventh street.
Mr.. Mottet accordingly looked over
carpets and selected a. costly one of
red velvet. He told the clerk 1t was
for an institution, gave its rather
generous dimensions-to-be, and added
that the bill should go to Mr.. Wander
bilt. The clerk had some difficulty TO
| recover the composure.
"I don't suppose you know" he vol
unteered, "that this is the identical
carpet selected by Mr.. Vanderbilt for
his new house!''
The Vanderbilt carpet is still in the
little chapel.

TO VALUE THE RAILROADS.

-
The house has passed, by a unani-
nous vote, the bill providing for a
physical valuation of all of the rail-
o property in the United States.
The absence of opposition in the house
warrants a belief that the senate may
pass the bill and that it may become a
lazy before the present session of con-
gress is at an end.
The work evolved in carrying into
effect this bill is monumental in it's
character, but it is probably well that
it should be undertaken. At that
there is some tendency to over-esti-
mate the magnitude of the work. One
critic processes to believe that it will
be many years before any commission
to which the matter is committed, will
be able to make a full report on the
subject.
The experience of some of the states
does not warrant that conclusion. The
state Of Washington, for instance,
through it's railroad commission, has in
fact made a physical valuation of all
the railroads under it's jurisdiction,
and this work has given the commits
sion data to pass upon all questions
concerning the reasonableness of rail
road rates. 1t has also been the found
alton for proper assessments for pur-
poses of taxation of railroad property.
Thi work has proved its value in
Washington and 1t is easy to see that
it would be of infinitely greater val
ue to the work of the interstate COM
merce commission, n to that of the
courts y ich may have occasion to re-
view the decisions of the commission,
to have all the data of value Of all the
railroads of the country.

a bar Of a certain kind Of soap.
"'Ah. I've stopped keepin' it, said
Tommy, with a facial movement that
was half yawn and half scowl.
Stopped keeping it?' said /. why
Tommy, it's the most popular brand OF
soap on the market
That's the trouble said Tommy
Price. People KEEP comm an comm

fast as I'd get stocked up. So l jest

LET THE COMMISSION 90 1T.

North Dakota has an efficient rail-
road commission, clothed with consid-
cradle power. Moreover, the individ-
uai members have been in office for
some time, know the ropes" and are
in q position to be Of considerable
value to shippers. 1t has been called
to- the attention of The Forum that
man North Dakota shippers are not
getting all the help they might from
there officials.
This is because they take up mat
tiers they wish adjusted, directly with
the railroads instead of through the
commission. One Fargo shipper COM
planned that it took him several months
to- get a rate adjustment from the
railroads. When asked if he had TAX
en- the matter up with the commission
he replied in the negative, stating that
such a course had not occurred to him.
Undoubtedly the railroads get many
Requests for rate adjustments from in
diyiduals and they cannot be expected
to give these complaints such prompt
attention as they would if they came
from or through the proper officials.
The commission is backed by the au-
thority of the state and naturally gets
quicker and surer results than any in
diyidual shipper, no matter how pow
erful he may be OF how extensive his
business.
It would also add to the efficiency of
the commissioners with the roads if
the shippers used them instead Of ig-
noring them. If the roads saw that
all the shippers of the state were back
of the commission it would add great
ly to their prestige and the entire ship
ping business Of the state would bene-
fit.
