Most Prlzed Of Gems.

The sapphires of Ceylon are among
the most beautiful gems in the world.
They range from soft, velvety blue to
peacock blue, graduating to almost
faultless white. Sapphires are also
found in greens and yellows, the for
mer shade being known as the Orient
al emerald, and the latter as the Ori-
entail topaz. There is also red sap
phire, or Ceylon ruby, which is as
valuable as the finest Burmese rubies.

Her aith Lost.

A little Boston girl was coaxed to
own to her aunt that she had done
something which she ough. not, and
which she stoutly denied Finally,

no longer keep her denial. She turn

THE DECEMBER WOMAN'S HOME
COMPANION.

The December Woman's Home
Companion contains a remarkable
account of the birth of Christ, writ
ten by Washington GLADDEN.. 1t is a
simple, straight narrative-interest-

sense of wonder. Reading it is like
reading about Lincoln or any other
great real figure in history.
In the same number there is an
intimate personal account Of the lit

daughter of the King and Queen of
England. Princess Mary is fifteen
years old and has five brothers. The

THE JEFFERSONIAN

The December American Maya
zine marks an important epoch in
the history of periodical making.
With this number The American
goes to a new sizes 1-2 inches by
IL. This permits of three columns
OF reading matter to the page, much
larger and more beautiful illustra-
tlons, book practically as thick as

playground by my good Christian
nelghbors playing hands with this
bunch of negro kids day in and day
out, this school of negro Catholics
is located within four blocks of. one
of our cities largest and best public
schools, where there are several
hundred children in attendance who
can and do see every day the exam
PIE being set by these Catholic sis
ters in their association and educa-
ton OF these little negro children,
yet l have never heard a protest
raised by any one. This has been,
and is very astounding to me, for
the reason that this is a Southern
city, and has many very f1ourishing
churches within her confines, who
are at all times very much concerned
about the condition of the benighted
heather in foreign lands
Well there may not be any very
grave wrong about this kind of social
equality-educatio ETC., but it sure
does not look good to a Southern
born citizen.
| felt that it might be Of some in
terest to you to read Of this great
kindergarten of Catholic negro kids,
here in our midst, and for this rea-
son l have taken the liberty to send
you the clippings and to make this
brief comment thereon.
This is a city that is already be-
ing politically Influenced by the
Catholic church, and it is only
matter of a few more years until
they will absolutely control the city
government if some body does not
wake up. They hold the balance of
power in State politics as well. They
hold millions of dollars worth of
property throughout the State, which
is of course exempt from taxation
and the end is not yet.
What shall we do about it must
be determined soon.
Yours approvingly,
UNCLE NEWTEN.

Father what he was looking for,
he replied Watson's Magazine, Mr.
Good asked him of he wished to buy
one, he replied no, he only wanted
to see if he handled them. Good re-
pfied, 81 do, and intend to do so,

ENJOYED READING "BETHANY.''

Dear Sir: 1 have just finished
reading Bethany and wish to say
l never read a better or more in
teresting book on the subject of the
South.
l am proud that a Southerner and
especially a Georgian has at last
written a book of the South which is
true, SO that the North can learn the
truth about the South.
I also wish to say that I agree
with you on what we will get out of
Woodrow Wilson's administration.
Now Mr.. Watson do you think
that the one term for President
would be a good thing? 1t seems
to me that that would give to the
Roman Catholics a greater victory
than they have already won. If
they should get it to one term, could
not they keep on increasing the
length Of that term until they would
eventually keep one man in power
for practically a life time? At least
they, having nothing to fear at the
hands of the people would greatly
ignore the needs and wants of the
masses of our people, or, at least it
seems that way to me.
Now Mr.. Watson / have read af-
ter your pen very close for the last
few years, and consider you great
leader.
Wishing you success and a long
life, [ am,
Yours respectfully,

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS HAD
HIM KILLED.

Dear Sir: Following the account
Of the assassination of Premier
Canalejas, The Pittsburg Gazette
Times, is a note as to his career
which freshens up in my memory the
stencil that went up about 1900
when this same noble man intro
duced project for the separation of
Church and State.
IT'S a wonder he lived so long.
1t is stated in the same column 1.-The
Pope was Mortified CD at the crime
and Immediately his Holiness be-
came absorbed in prayer for the
safety of SPAIN
Nothing about the poor soul that
was ushered into eternity; not that
prayers would do him any good, but
it is against their teaching not to
assist them out of purgatory.
This in the editorial column, '"The
tragedy is one of a series which
have characterized the religious and
political conflict that has been in
progress in Spain for years, not
necessarily the outcome of plot
In my opinion it is more than the
outcome of plot; it is the fulfill
ment of an obligation by the obey
ing of a command.
You have read the obligations.
The editor observes in comparison
with the attempt on Roosevelt that
civilization has not maue the ad-
Vancement claimed for it."
Nobody ever claimed civilization
advanced in a Roman Catholic coun-
try.
1 also see by the same publica-
ton that the ladies of the United
States (I suppose that means the He
ladies too are going to collect mon
ely enough to erect a church in con-
nection with the Catholic Universe
ty at Washington. Mind you, "are
going to collect it"
We can only hope that the great
Papa will not live to be Mortified at
the criminal attempt or success on
the lives of any of our high officials.
But-let us hope that our President
elect will have about as much sand
as Premier Canalejas had, and l
know that none of our cherished in
situations will suffer from union of
Church and State.
I would suggest that every pat
riotic organization petition Gov. Will
son by registered mail their views
concerning his appointments.
Yours in all that stands for pat
riotism.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SOLVES
PROBLEM ON ASSISTANT

Austin, Tex, Aug. S.-AItorney gen
eral LightfOOt announced today that
he has perfected plans for running the
attorney generals department after
the close Of the present fiscal year,
August 81, until the legislature meets
next January. This settles quite a Sc
rious problem which has confronted the
running Of this department as there is
no appropriation available for that
purpose. Attorney general Lightfoot
finds two courses open to his success
sor. James d. Walthall one of which
will be adopted
Under the provisions Of the appro-
priatiOn bill" said Mr.. LightfOOt the
attorney general is given authority to
employ such assistance as he may
deem necessary to run the office not
exceeding seven in number at any one
time. 1t also provides that he may en-
ploy special counsel and other help
when the same may be deemed neces-
sary by the attorney general. These
provisions of law are sufficient to
cause the attorney general to employ
assistant counsel and other help
whether there be an appropriation to
pay them or not and viii be authority
for the next legislature to make pro-
vision TO pay the salaries of all such
help"

Texas & Pacific railroad, was seriously
injured near Sierra Blanca Wednesday
afternoon by having his left arm frac-
tured, his leg bruised and his back and
shoulders badly scratched and bruised

dragged several car lengths.
He was on a west bound freight when
the end of a gondola on which he was
riding and was out of order, gave wav
and dropped him to the ground. The
train happened to be going very slowly,
or the accident might have resulted even
more seriously.
Dr. F. P. Miller went down to Sierra
Blanca and dressed the injured mans
wounds and in the evening he was
brought to Providence hospital in FL
