for deleeates the candidates were Dr. shine and Captain C.

Kelton is an advanced thinker in the school of "progressivism" Yet in the fight in Cochise county. shine won hands dows carrying the county by majority of many hundreds
 So, to sum it up. the sociaHstic dem ccrats lost all along the line Their candidate for the presidential nomin- ation was showed under so badly that the affair can hardly be dignified by the name of contest. And in the light for national committeeman, where the issue was also clearly cut. they Were beaten at every turn.
 In the preferential vote there Were some scattering ballots for Harmon and occasionally one for Bryan. But neither of these men'S names was on the ballots and so the fight was squarelN between Clark and Wilson.

Louis Beckton Stabbed William A. Neel to Death at the Bartlett Heard Ranch Last Night. Beck ton in Jail.

Last night two strong men rolled on the floor at the main camp of the Bartlett Heard ranch. one of them William A. Neel suddenly rose and walking out of the house to a we'll began washing the streaming blood away and then fell dead. The other Louis BecltOn rose, covered with the blood of his antagonist and announced that he would come to town and give himself up. Neel had been stab bed in the back.
 This happened about seven o'clock in the evening when the employees of that camp, about sixteen were seated at supper BecktOn and Neel came in last and sat at opposite sides of the table. Neel made a remark which Beckton considered an insult and he rose and started around the end of the table. Neel seized large metal pitcher filled with buttermilk and hurled it at the advancing Beck ton. It missed and then he sprang at Beckton. The men grappled and went to the floor under the end of the table. Beckton beneath. It was only an instant later that NeeI rose with a death wound.
 When Beckton started to town he was advised by the other employees

RAISING ONE MILLION
That Sum Wanted by Congregational
 ists for Work in Cities.

Fifteen states, beginning with Min nesOta and extending through to the coast, and including farther south, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and Nebraska have now been surveyed by representa- tiVes of home mission societies. and ten religious bodies. supporting five in six of all home missionaries. have agreed upon cooperation in these states. There is to be an end to competition. At the same time most home mission leaders declare that overlooking is quite as deplOrable as overlapping For example, in one of the states surveyed. Wyoming, it is stated that 85 per cent of the population, and 30,O0O children. are without adequate religious advan- tages
 Congregational home interests, rep resented in their home society, pro pose the raising of $1,000,000 for home extension. A considerable part of this sum, if raised, is to be expended in cities. Other sums are to be used in strengthening churches at college cen. tres, so as to attack the student prob lem, and still other sums, if the adVO- cates of country church interests have their way, will be employed to endOw the rural paStOrate, the argument be- ing that it is from the country that many Of the best leaders of the cities come.

 Sheriff Adams. Coroner C. w John stone, Deputy Sheriff Conn0rs at half rast seven left for the ranch with w R. Norton and others who had been summoned to serve on the cor oners jury. They returned late last night bringing Reckton with them.
 They found that the sympathies Of the employees were largely with Beck ton. though in this case, or in the incidents immediately preceding the killing he had been the aggressor. The men had had a quarrel a short time before and the killing was the sequel
 Neel was a powerful man and a quarrelSOme one. so that only four days ago Superintendent Larson had ordered Lowell, one of the foremen to discharge him saying that if he re mained on the ranch there would be tragedy The foreman neglected to carry out the instructions.
 Beckton would not speak last night of preceding events but talked freely of the killing itself, though he did not offer the excuse of self defense.
 It is believed that he had come to the table prepared to do what was done. He must have had the knife open when he started toward Neel for he could not have opened it while lying on the floor. He was prepared to settle once for all his grievance against his more powerful enemy.
 The weapon he used was a most deadly one. The five-inch bowie shaped blade was driven in to the handle. Only a man with powerful short arm movement could have ac- complished that feat lying underneath lis antagonist. It is thought the blade entered the left side of the heart
 Neel was about forty years of age and came from Carlisle Ark. He first worked on the ranch two years ago but was discharged. He had re-

ARE WOMEN HUMAN BEINGS?

Writing under the above title in the current number of Harper's Weekly, Charlotte Perkins Gilman claims that women are a portion of the human race and not "a sub-species set apart for purposes of reproduction" This fact is WlIt these sex -ObsesSed Op- ponents of the norm | progress of women cannot sec" she writes. "They see only the feminine characteristics of women. and fail to see the human ones What needs to be hammered into these male ridden minds is that these things the women want to do and be and have are not in any sense masculine. They are dep ,rtments of our social life hitherto arbitrarily monopolized by men. but no more made masculine by use than the wearing of trousers by Turkish Wom- en makes trousers feminine, or the wearing of corsets by GermanA~ of ficers makes corsets masculine"

 And JIen the Tight between Clark and Woodrow Wilson was also signifi- cant I, will not do f, say that the Clark people are the only ones who made an aggr ~sive fight.

hem, in Judea, in the days of Herod, the
king, behold there came wise men from
the east to Jerusalem.
Saying, Where is he that is born king
of the Jews? for we have seen his star
in the east and are come to worship him y
Herod is troubled on hearing this and
calls in his chief priests and scribes to
learn where Christ should be born. They
] told him in Bethlehem. The account
goes on:
Then Herod, when he mad privily
called the wise men, inquired OF them
diligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them into Bethlehem and
said, Go and search diligently for the
young child. and when ye have found
him bring me word again, that / may
come and worship him also.
When they had heard the king they
| departed, and To- the star which they
had seen in the east went before them
| till it came and stood over where the
young child was.
| When they saw the star they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy
| They did not return to Herod, how
| ever, being warned in a dream.
Another story of the Nativity that has
made an equal appeal to artists is that
| of the shepherds. This ocurs in the
second chapter of Luke:
| And there We're in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night
| And 10, the angel of the Lord came
upon them. and the glory of the LORD
| shone round about them, and they were
sore afraid
And the angel said unto them, Fear
not, 70. behold, l bring you good tidings
Of great joy, which shall be to all people
For unto you is born this day, in the
aity of David, a Saviour, which is CHRIS
ne Lord.
And this shall be sign unto you;
We shall find the babe wrapped in swad-
ding clothes lying in manager.
And suddenly there was with the an
| gel multitude of the heavenly host
UTais.ng CD and saying:
| Glory TO God in the highest, and on
earth peace. good will toward men"
Nineteen hundred years have passed
and the Caili has become the leader OF
the nations Only three important coun-
tr' aIe now outside of Christian rule.
Of these Turkey is being d.smembered
Japan ; sriously considering the inclus
ion OF large part of Christianity in her

Not only is the whole earth being

cellent. Their action is pleasant and

"Clean up the bowels and keep

danger resulting from habitual con-

but begin proper curative measures.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are a
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in

and work like charm. A trial
will convince you.

But sometimes when the groceryman is

When Santa Was A Boy

When Santa was a little boy,
The same as me or you,
! wonder where did Santa live
And what did Santa do?
wonder was his home up north,
Close by the cold north poe?
Did Santa have to chop the wood
And carry all the coal?
Did Santa have to clean the paths
And tote things from the store?
Did Santa have to mind the kids
And hear the baby's road?
Did Santa have to stay indoors
And work on horrid sums,
Instead o. going out to skate
CIR coas..ng with his chums?
No matter what he said or did,
Did grown folks sternly say,
Beware, and be "a better boy;
Twill soon be Christmas day?
No wonder. then, with luck like this,
That to a saint he grew
And knows at Christmas time just what
Boys like to have and do.

The Star of
Bethlehem

1 n z story of the Star OF Belhlenem
has ever been favorite one with
~ painters and poets and has been
4 subject of serious study by
thcologi.,ns and scientists. Many as
tronomcrs have asserted that the heaven
~ visitant was a comet and have even
sought TO identify it with some OF the
comets now knoNn. Churchmen, on the
other hand, have com5ated these at
tempts to asCrtbe natural cause to the
phenomenon and have commended that the
gospel text saoWg the star to have been
sent by miracle to guide the wise men
to the Christ Child. One of the favorite
theories in the early days of the church
was that luminous angel shining like
star led the magi on Their way. Another
explanation was that the Holy Ghost
took the form of a star, as he afterward
did that of a dove at the time of the
baptism of Jesus by John
The beautiful tale of the star of Beth
lehem is contained in the second chapter
of Matthew:
