Wants Radical Change in Divorce Ae.

Denver.-Sweepin changes in the
divorce laws of Colorado are a social
necessity and any movement to de
crease the output of the divorce mill'
should take rank with other important
reforms, in the opinion of Judge Ira
c. Rothgerber of the County Court. In
the last sixteen months Judge Roth
gerber has presided at trials in which
500 divorce suits were heard. In that
time he has found that four women to
one man seek the divorce courts as
a remedy for matrimonial ailments;
that children are the tie that binds
and that out of five divorce appli-
cants an average of four are without
children; that it is easier to get n di-
vcrce in Colorado than in any state
in the Union.

Origin of Christmas Cards.


Is the originator of the first Christ
mas card destined to become as great
a subject of controversy as the in
ventor of the adhesive stamp and the
safety bicycle? Up to yesterday most
people who took an interest in the
matter would have credited either
the late Sir Henry Cole or Mr.. J. c.
Horsley, r. A., with the production
of the first card. ard they would
have put the date down to-day-the
late Mr.. w. A. Dobeon, r. A, and
his claim is supported with circum-
stantial detail in Worlds Work.
The birth of the Christmas card
Is put back two years, to 1874. Mr.
Dobson was lonely young man, who
one day conceived the idea of ac-
knowledging the kindness of a friend
by sending him a picture illustrative
OF the festive season. cheerful fam
lily group, surrounded by the familiar
Christmas accessories.
The distant friend was delighted,
showed it to other friends, and Mr..
Dobson was encouraged, the follow
ing year to secure the aid of the To-
cal photographer. Then came imita-
tors one after another, until ten years
later the business man stepped in to
make money out of what was origi-
nally a work of love- But the ambiti-
GUS Christmas cards of to-day are
a long remove from the primitive

OF all the beautiful pictures
On Childhood's memory's wall
Is one Of an evergreen Christmas
tree
That standeth broad and tall;
In whose very topmost branches
A blue-eyed dolly swings,
While lower down to friendly bough
A Teddy bearlet clings;
And there quite close to Teddy
Hangs a soldier bold, of tin;
A drum, with sticks suspended.
To make a warlike din;
A fife with wondrous music
Quite hidd'n away inside;
A sled so strong and splendid
That at least four boys may ride;
A picture book of fairies,
An engine that will run;
A toy piano with real keys,
A tool chest and a gun;
And from the gay, green branches,
Festooned as ribbons bright,
Swings strings of soft white popcorn
That glistens in the light,
And everywhere hangs candy
For children, great and small.
So, of all the Childhood's memories.
This seemeth the best of all.

Age-Herald.

VIRGINIA O'HANLON."
m15 West 95th ST.


Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the scepticism of a sceptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by their
little minds. All minds, Virginia.
whether they be mems or children's,
are little. In this great universe Of
ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in
his intellect, as compared with the
boundless wold about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable OF
grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life it's highest beauty
and joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world If there were no Santa
there were no Virginias. There
would be no child-like faith then, no
poetry, no romance, to make tolera-
bic this exist ence. We should have
no enjoyment except in sense and
sight. The ct Nnal light with which
childhood filla the world would be
extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the ehimneys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that Is me- sign that there is no
Santa Clans. The most real things in
the world are those that neither chill
dren nor men can see. Did you ever
see fairies dancing on the lawn? OF
course not; but that's no proof that
they are not there. Nobody can con-
ceive or imagine all the wonders that
are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is veil covering the
uhSOSh W'biu Nh4Sh HOS INC SIiOh5-
est man, nor even the united strength
of all thu strongest men that ever
lived. could tear apart. Only faith,
fancy, poetry, love, romance, can
push asi 1e that curtain and view and
picture the supernatural beauty and
glory beyond. Is it all real? All,
Virginia. In all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! He
lives, end he lives forever. A thou
sand years from now, Virginia, nay
now, he will continue TO make glad
the heart of childhood.

MONEY LOST TO AMERICA

There are still people who do not believe the low tariff has cost the American a penny
 When confronted with the fact that in the first nine months of it's opera ton the exports fen off S14S, ,00o, 900, they must realize that about $150 per capita has been lost to the country. and it goes without arguing it that someone having lost that amount of trade, there must have been a cor responding lessening of work some where. and wherever work has become less the workmen have been losers of their part of this reduction
 A loss of nearly three millions a week is worth thinking about.
 Three millions a week can do a great deal of business-it must afford great deal of work; hence its loss must have caused in some sections of the country considerable distress.
 The democratic theory Is that cap. ital should be allowed to purchase goods in the cheapest markets regard less of the wage earner The repub- hcan policy has always been to hold American markets for American goods and to thus keep the money and goods at home.
 That 1t worked well there is plenty of evidence.
