Alice surprised Aunt Lucy with a basket for her sewing. A grocer's mar ket basket, without handle, was firm ly lined with a half yard of red cali- co and had pockets for her thimble, needlebook, pins, scissors and glasses. This cost 1P cents.
 So their own family of seven were provided with presents that were both pretty and useful at cost of sL55. When Aunt Lucy and Alice looked at the results of their planning at home they felt encouraged to try to remember the other dear ones latcr.

HARPER'S WEEKLY MAKES
PECULIAR EXPLANATION

New York, Jan. 16.-The current
number of Harper's Weekly contains
the following editorial announcement:
"To our readers:
ave, make the following reply to
many inquiries from readers of Har-
per's Weekly:
"The name of Woodrow Wilson as
our candidate for president was taken
down from the head of these columns
in response to a statement made to us
directly by Gov. Wilson, to the effect
that our support was affecting his can
didacy injuriously,
"The only course left open to us in
simple fairness to Mr.. Wilson, no less
than in consideration of our own self
respect, was to cease to advocate his
nomination.
ave make this explanation with
great reluctance and the deepest regret.
But we can not escape the conclusion
that the very considerable number of
our readers, who have co-operated earn
estly and loyalty flu, advocating a
movement which was inaugurated sole
ly in the hobe Of rendering high pub
lie service, are clearly entitled to this
information.

BALTIMORE CONVl JTION.

The first national con vel. ion of the
democratic party was lei At Balti,
more 1t was the conFC.tiau hat met
and nominated Andrew Jackson and
Martin Van Buren, for president and
Vice-president 1t met in the spring
of 1882. The ticket was eminently sue
cessful
Prior to that time the practice had
been for party caucuses il congress to
make presidential nominations. This
might be characterized as the first step
toward direct government. The prac
tice of nominating candidates virtually
nullitied the power OF the electoral col
lege as free agency i'll electing presi-
dents and gave ii into the hands Of the
people.
The convention of 1882 gave happy
augury to Baltimore as a place for hold
ing democratic conventions, but the
memorable convention of 1860 held in
that city might be differently constru-
ed. The democratic national conven-
ton of that year first met in Charles
ton, S, G., and after long wrangle and
bolt on the part Of the secessionists,
who nominated John G. Breckenridge,
adjourned to meet in Baltimore, when
Stephen A. Douglass was nominated.
1t was that year the misfortunes of the
democratic party began, and except
the two terms of Grover Cleveland
there has been no democratic president
since that date.
Another democratic convention, and |
the only one held in the City Of Monu-
ments since 1860 was that which en-
dorsed Horace Greeley in 1872, He had
been previously nominated by the lib
efal republicans at Cincinnati. The re-
suit was disastrous, and that also tends
TO associate Baltimore with unpropi-
tious auguries of democratic success.
Probably this is year for the luck to
change and return to the happy result
of 1882. Nashville Banner.

Ex-Governor Patterson is Given
Old Time Democratic Ovation
When Seen at Meeting.

Nashville, Tenn, jan, 16.-With
distinct endeavor to avoid the stigma
of unfairness of the charge of punish
ing political offenders merely because
it possessed the power, the democratic
state committee at the. noon session to-
day passed over the case OF h. g. Will
hanson, of Memphis, whom many
democratic advisors urged the COM
mittee to expel. His offence, if offence
it was, was that he lent himself to
plan of the independents, to undertake
democratic primary in April without
the co operation or approval of the
state committee. When the committee
met, Police Judge Kelly, of Memphis,
sat as proxy Of Mr.. Williamson, who
is in the city, In fact the latter has
participated in no conferences of the
day. Chairman Vertrees had two
questions to ask which were answered
by Judge Kelly.
"Wlll Mr.. Williamson affiliate with
this committee, or the one headed by
MI Barton?" was the first.
Judge Kelly said he would affiliate
with the regulars.
"WiIl he accept and abide by the
linal action of this committee in the
matter of primary" was the other.
Judge Kelly said he would.
1t was therefore rula ed that there was
no ground upon which Mr.. William
son should be unseated, and thus one
threatening breach in the days delib-
erations was avoided.
Senator Taylor, ex-senator Frazier,
ex-Govs. McMillin and Patterson,
Judge Farabaugh, Judge Allison, Col.
Mike Savage, Frank p. Bond and
others gave the committee the benefit
of their advice. Every voice raised
was for compromise, and the motive
assigned by all was victory in l912-all
save Mr.. Bond, who electrified the
s,and-pat regulars by declaring he
would rather be right than to win
any victory any party could ever win.
Chairman Vertrees called the meet
ing to order in the Tulane assembly
room and announced that the COM
mittee was ready to hear any demo-
crat, whatever his former utilization.

TRIBUTE TO BISHOP GAINES.
Poured Out His Life Without Measure.
Says Dr.. Thirkield

Washington - Upon hearing the
news of the death of Bishop Wesley
j. Gaines. which occurred at his late
home in Atlanta. Ga, recently. Dr
Wilbur Patterson Thlrkield. president
of Howard university. made the follow
ing comment concerning the life and
work of the noted churchman. whom
he had known for many years:
The tidings OF the death of Bishop
Gaines give me sense OF distinct loss
as recall the character of this true
man Of Cod his worth to the church
and his remarkable record for right
eousness, for truth and for progress
in Gods kingdom. ! had cherished the
hope that he might live many years
and achieve place as counselor and
Bishop Paine held for many years.
Knowing him both as pastor and as
bishop, l want to bear witness to
the stainless record of this man of
God and to his character, that through
the years of close association as neigh
Dor and friend in Atlanta ! can testi-
fy was above reproach. The example
of such a man for probity, purity and
righteousness has been Of unmeasured
value.
In his devotion to every interest Of
the church he poured out his life
without measuring the cost He has
left behind him an enduring monu-
ment, not only in institutions Of learn
ing and in churches he has built, but
also in his character and noble ex-
ample that must live through all the
years as guide to all who knew him.
