ihorrid mask of war with spurious
gold whose falsity was discovered all
too late.
Gideon Welles, a member of Lin
coins cabinet, writing for his own
Ieye and no other in that wonderful
diary he kept, said during the war
that SCOTS novels had led the south
ern people into foolish struggle
Mark Twain, thirty-odd years be-
fore Welles' diary was published, said
the same thing in Life on the Miss
issippi' and presented proofs. He told
Iof a girls school in an old southern
town which was modelled architec-
turally on the lines of "Kenilworth'
and in which the chief studies were
1.-THE Lady Of the Lake" and Mar
lmion."
Years after the blue and gray tides
had ebbed and flowed thrice through
the streets of that old town, there
arose there poet. He read the Wav-
erly novels, bred race horses and
wrote poetry. A gentleman he, and
proud Of his home as his home was
proud of him. One day he wrote a
poem about his home town, but Civ
ing it only the name by which it was
christened in his fancy-"The pimple
of the Universe"
A woman in Boston who wished to
know what town was meant, and who
heard of the wonderful fcats of the
postoffice department in deciphering
cryptic addresses. wrote letter and
addressed it to "The Poet. Dimple Of
the Universe"
In the dead letter office at Wash

town found the letter. She knew the

town. So the letter was delivered to

The Annual Puzzle.

A man of practical turn OF mind
and not devoid of sense OF humor
who lives in New Albany, Ind, has
just written Il letter to New York
newspaper in which he suggests the
more general use OF Christmas
giving practice, which has hitherto
been confined TO families. particular
lily large ones. and which is not alto
gether devoid of merit.
The contributor premises the
scheme upon the theory that be-
showers of Christmas presents do not
as a rule know what to bestow,
while the bestowed upon is, upon re-
,ceipt of the gift, disguised both with
it and the bestower. The remedy
outlined Is the distribution of care
fully compiled circular letter setting
forth a simple plan whereby every
prospective giver of gifts will be put
In touch with the wants and don't
wants Of his friends. This, it is de-
iclared. would not only eliminated
the brain rscking uncertainty of gift
giving but would have tendency to
make the giving and receiving Of
presents real instead OF pretend
ed pleasure.
These letters should be mailed
about December 10 and should read
some as follows:
i December 10. 1914.
Dear Mr., Mrs. or Miss: AS we
are again approaching the gift giving
holiday period /. looking toward the
!, simplification OF matters for myself
and my friends, write to you and the
Others this letter.
"You have in past seasons done
me the honor TO send me Christmas
present. and you have without doubt
given to the selection of a suitable
gift much worry and perve racking
consideration, only to bhrden me in
the end with something for which I
nave no use. ] in turn have had the
same difficulty to overcome in the
selection of gift for you, which you
no doubt dislilied in the same pro-
portion.
Now, it has occurred to be that
the application of a little common
sense to this problem would prevent
1T from producing an annual calam-
ity, and would in measure restore
to the gift giving custom its original
and intended charm.
With this end in view and that
you may know clearly what I want
and what don't want, append two
lists, with approximate prices at
tacbed in the Things Wanted col
umn that you in your selection of a
gift for me may be governed there

RADIATORS WITHOIT FURNACES.

A perfectly competent radiator, d.
vorced from the furnace in the base
ment, and incidentally from early
morning rising to stoke the same, OF
| from clumsy janitors humping down
cellar steps, and from the inconven-
fence OF cold snaps when it takes two
days to get the furnace into working
order, and from all the other ills and
Iirritations which have long been as
sociated with steam heat, seems a
rosy and impossible dream. Never
theless, science has solved it in two
ways: by gas and by electricity.
The new gas radiators are light
and convenient, and all that Is nee
essary to set them going is to connect
with gas Jet and light. They do
not require such an eXorditant
amount OF gas, either Water is con-
verted into steam by means of a
copper coil, and large radiatins
surface is formed by means of num-
Der OF metal fins"
The electric machine is even more
attractive and simple to operate. 1t
requires only quart and a half to
three quarts of water and this has to
be renewed only once in three or four
months. The. radiator vii! generate
very effective temperature in fifteen
minutes. 1t may be made as light as
thirty pounds, so that 1t can easily
be carried from room to room. The
great recent development OF electric
power plants, and the cheapness OF
current make this an especially
promising invention.
