Lest They FORGET.
Hunt out the little lame girl.
The poor boy who Is blind;

Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who Is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world dnkind;
Search down among the novels
Where gladness seldom strays,
And teach the doubling people
There still are Christmas daya
You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar,
To add your fair love-tokens
Where Joys and comforts are.
But have you In your gladness
Bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit In darkness.
Whose crusts are dearly bought
Your heart IS full OF kindness,
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where rfbboned wreaths are hung:
You've heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold-
But there are hungry children
Where all Is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind:
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unlsind;
Go down among the victims
OF chance and greed and crime
And cause them to remember
That this Is Christmas time.

Mrs. Glenfaddle decided to take her
husbands advice for once. II the SOL
emn truth must be told, she has never
become addicted to the habit of doing
this. But there seemed to be a few
CLEANS of reason in his argument,
and accordingly she decided to make
her Emma thrice glad on Christmas
morning. The girl had been very pa,
tient and faithful for quite a while
anyway, and it was no more than
right that merit should be rewarded.
Among the things In the box which
Emma found on the kitchen table
when she went down to get breakfast
on the morning of the great day were
cloth for a fine new dress, toilet set
for her bureau. a glove box with a
pair Of gloves In 1t, and a purse made
Of seal leather.
The next day when Mr.. Glenfaddle
got home his wife said:

INDIANAPOLIS. WALKS TO WORK
STREET CAR STRIKE ON
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. AFTER a
Halloween of frolicking, most OF the
city's working population walked to
their offices and shops today as re-
suit of the street car mems strike
shortly before midnight, after repeat
ed refusals on the part of the trac-
ton company to arbitrate demands
for higher wages and better working
conditions.
A special train carrying Chicago
strikebreakers is expected here today
and riot is feared because of the at
titude of the traction company. A
committee of car men who called on
President Todd to present the unions
grievances were discharged. Cover
nor .Ralston and Mayor Shank had
been appealed to by the men to get
the company to arbitrate, but Pres.
Todd refused.
Rioting by Halloween merymak-
ers caused more than score of ar
rests. Bricks were thrown through
windows of two cars in the heart of
the city, trolleys were pulled off in
many instances, and passengers de-
serted the cars generally for fear of
injury, but the union car crews
finished their runs before quitting
their places. R. H. Wade, a striker,
was struck on the head by brick.
One car, which had been riddled by
bricks, ran wild around a curve on
North Pennsylvania street and ended
up a wreck on the Art Institute
grounds.
When the strikers reached the
barns with their cars they were paid
off and told their services would be
no longer required.

Local Realty Boom
Is Expected From
Gamblers Move
Financier's Investment Expected to
Start Alphabetically Dinner
Date Changed to Saturday.

Real estate operators We're heard
Monday in many expressions of salts
faction over the return of Asa G.
Gambler to the local realty market
In the purchase from Fitzhugh Knox
of the northeast corner Of Ivy and
East Baker streets, a full account of
which appears elsewhere.
For quite a while Mr.. Gamblers at
tention was centered on his interests
in New York. Chicago, Baltimore and
Washington, and he kept out of local
real estate activities. Now that he
has invested again on the north side,
close TO his other holdings, there is a
feeling that the real estate market
will again take on it's accustomed hue.
The volume of small trading has
probably been greater this ear than
ever before. Figures from time to
time have shown 1875 transfers to be
far ahead of 1925 in medium priced
propositions. The large transfers,
however, fell off and a good deal of
swapping in central and semi central
property resulted.
Naturally, the real estate prophets
now that he has expressed him conf
dence in the Ivy street neighborhood,
good deal more semi central trad
ing in that section and elsewhere is
expected to follow.
No general opinion has been form
ed as to the effect of Ivy street re-
grading. Ivy street this year, before
cnd after the improvement, has been
comparatively quiet. There has been
more activity half a block east Of
Peachtree on the cross streets be-
tween Ivy ID Peachtree, but the ten
dency has been to stay within half a
block of the latter thoroughfare.
Now 1t is expected that the future
that Mr.. Gambler sees will be seen
soon by others, and that Ivy street,
from Peachtree to Decatur streets,
its entire extent, will be live trad
ing center. Joel Hurts holdings at
the southern terminus of Ivy street,
the Hurt Building and adjoining prop
critics, are holding up the prestige Of
the thoroughfare to the south, and
with Mr. Gambler on the other end
the future of the street seems assured
Already hundreds of automobiles
are using Ivy street to reach the CEN

l3,572,000 Bales for
1913, Says Authority

MEMPHIS, Nov. 17.-The Commercial
Appeal estimates the growth of this
years cotton crop at IS, 572, 900 bales.
These figures do not include linters
The estimate is based on the answers
Of correspondents from all parts of the
belt, and represent careful inquiries on
their part into the size Of the crop in
their sections.
The hot weather during late August
and early September brought about an
early opening OF the crop, and 1t is
probable that a larger percentage of the
crop has been picked to date than ever
before known.
The high price paid for the staple
has resulted in rush by farmers to
get their product to market there being
almost no holding reported. A few in
stances of holding for higher prices are
reported from districts, where heavy
rains damaged the grade and farmers
refuse to take the price bid for the low
grades
These are very few, however.
Damage from frost was confined al
most exclusively to eastern Arkansas.
where much damage was done in the
overtiowed territory, and to the eastern
States, North Carolina having suffered
especially heavy loss in this regard.
The staple is said to be fairly good
in the east, but much damage has
resulted in the central and western por-
tons of the belt from heavy rains in
September
