der Cadillac runabout, rated at to 10
horsepower, which was placed on eXhibi-

the present time. The manufacturers

latest 1913 Cadillac on display at the
salesroom is S2314. and is rated between
10 and ID horsepower. thus showing the
vast progress which has been made in
the construction of gasoline motor cars in
the past eleven years. ,The two cars are

was too weak and sore to get things for

indeed, to him!
But now as Danny limped around he
was not happy. No. sir, he was not
happy. The truth is Danny Meadow Mouse
was worried 1t was different kind OF
worry from any he had known before.
You see for the first time in his life
Danny was worrying about some one else.
He was worrying about Peter Rabbit.
Peter had been gone from the old brier
patch whole night and whole day. He
often was gone all night but never all
day, too. Danny was sure that something
had happened to Peter. He thought or
how he had begged Peter no. to go up TO
Farmer Browns young peach orchard.
He had felt in his bones that it was not
safe, that something dreadful would hap
pen to Peter. How Peter had laughed at
him and bravely started off. Why hadn't
he come home?
AS he limped around Danny talked to
himself:
.'Why cannot people be content
With all the good things that are sent.
And mind their own affairs at home
Instead of going forth to roam
1t was now the second night since Peter
Rabbit had gone away. Danny Meadow

limped, and finally sat down at the edge
of it to wait and watch. At last, just rs

in a snare! Danny hurried over to Peter

PLANS TO end
The ICEBERGS
Scheme For Huge Jetty A.
cross Banks New FOuRdIand

New York, Jauary IA plan for
abolishing icebergs is to be laid before
congress. The New York board of trade
and transportation announces its en-
dorsement of a bill which Congress-
man Calder, of Brooklyn, will intro
duce, calling for a government COM
mission to study the feasibility of con-
structing a huge jettv across the Grand
Banks of New Foundland. The idea
was explained by it's originator, c. L.
Riker, of Brooklyn. He said he would
obstruct the Labrador current by lay
ing a steel cable ten inches in dame
ter across the Grand Banks against
which the current would deposit sand
and form ridge extending for 200
miles to the east of Cape Race. This
he declared would be sufficient to shift
the current so that the warm gulf
stream and the cold Labrador current
would commingle, and eliminate ice
bergs not only from the region of the
Grand Banks but also from the entire
arctic. circle Greenland he maintained
would be transformed into a garden
and England would be surrounded by
current as warm as the Caribbean
Sea. Mr.. Riker declared that however,
wild this project might seem at first
sight, it had received much endorse
ment and even the United States Hy-
geographic Office considered it feasible.
He said the work would cost about
$2O,OOOOOO.

ADELINE HAS GREAT FAITH

When Adeline was nine the Puffies
began wondering among themselves
whether she still believed in Santa
Claus. Adeline had written her usual
letter to Santa and stuffed 1t up the
chimney as usual and 1t had to be
extracted with the accompaniment of
much SCOT and emotion by her father.
"Thunderation!" Putfie had said, try
ing to brush the SCOT from his face
and smearing 1t on the collar. This
is the end of such foolishness! What
an awful reach that child has! That
letter was almost up on the chimney
coping. She can't believe in such fool
ishness-"
THE ideal" said Mrs Pufle, indig-
nantly. 81 think it is perfectly sweet
that Adeline still believes in Santa
Claus! What is a little SCOT on your
collar compared with nurturing the
imagination of your child! You haven't
any heart, Henry Puffle! I'm pos
itively ashamed of your
We'll, it's me the SCOT is on you'll
notice!" said Pufie grimly and un-
dramatically THAT makes some diff
ference! Oh, we'll, If the kid still
thinks Santa Claus exists we might as
well let her keep on thinking. She'll
outgrow it fast enough!
They labeled nearly all Adeline's
gifts From Santa Claus" and she re-
ceived them with the same wide eyed
wonder which had attended her Christ
masses from babyhood.
Il got this from Santa" the Puffles
heard her telling the little girl next
door as she exhibited her new doll
"There!" said Mrs Pufle accusing
ly. And you would have blighted
that innocent faith! 1t Is perfectly
beautiful"
1t was the same when Adeline was
ten. She babbled merrily about what
she wanted Santa Claus to bring her.
Resting her limpid eyes upon her
wondering parent, she would beseech-
ingly ask Puffle whether he thought
if she wrote a very careful note to
Santa, he would do such wonderful
thing as bring her a gold bracelet. III
l wrote it vur-ry carefully, daddy she
repeated in her birdlike tones.
And Puffie's heart melting at the
tender trust Of his child, he told AIDE
line that he thought Santa would be
unable to resist her appeal.
Only" Puffie added, with memories
of the year previous, "it is not neces-
sary, dearie, to chuck your letter quite
so high up the chimney"
why, daddy" Adeline protested in
round eyed amazement, 1T is so much
easier for him to get 1t II it is high up!
He has to reach clear down the chin
ney, you know!"
ITO be sure" Puffle stammered.
Il don't see," he afterward remark
ed to his wife, why she hasn't dis
covered that Santa Claus is a fake.
Some of the other children must know.
The little imps are only too glad to
give it away when they are disillusion-
ed, They must have told herr
You don't understand, Adeline!"
protested Mrs. Pufle. You don't real
lie at all what sweet, trusting nature
that child has! 1t would never enter
her head to suspect! l just want to
cry when think how terrible she will
feel when she does find out hope 1t

The states attorney is undoubtedly
perfecting his plans to prove to
the satisfaction of the jury that it
was Mr.. Beach, and not negro, who
attacked Mrs. Camilla Beach in the
yard of the home the Beaches were
occupying in Aiken last February.
A few days ago the prosecutor was
i'll conference with Matthew S. Baughn,
the detective who worked up the
evidence on which the warrant
against Mr.. Beach was issued. After
the conference Mr. Gunter said he did
not expect anything to interfere with
his plans to bring Beach to trial.
Mayor Gyles declared, when told
what the prosecutor had said that he
had never doubted that Mr.. Beach
would be tried. The mayor and the
prosecutor are law partners, and it
has been said that Gyles would assist
Gunter in the prosecution, but this can
not be verified.
