enamel ware, there is the clean looking

showed us, scissor sets in leather case,
$3.50. carving sets $500; game shears,
$1.85, manicure sets, $3.50, fireless cook

Of the things that charm the small young

S. P. u. G. soc. ORGANIZED HERE

there is one on display at local shop
and if you do not say it is the most
practical and most economical article of
furniture you could put in your house,
especially if you are a little crowded
for room, we shall have to admit we do
not know anything about furniture.
This one costs $4,000.
Dry goods stores and clothing stores
naturally have a greater number of
personal articles than the other stores
and when one is thinking of practical
gifts they are very good places to go to
shop. Also to find the small, inexpensive
gift for the casual friend who must be
remembered with some slight token.
In this line the new things shown in
handkerchiefs are interesting. There are
the crepe de chine in dainty colors, some
white with bits of color in the embroidery
or the borders, but all different from
those of last season. They run in sets
at prices so low that it is not necessary
to name them. Handbags with all the
furnishings dear to the feminine heart
are shown at $1.00 to $500 and some
wonderful mesh bags. The leather used
is mostly seal or alligator and the plain
effects are most in vogue with a few
pleats in the sides. And if you are fond
of fancy hosiery, just ask the New Ulm
dealers to show you some of the fascina-
ting ones in two colors, blue and castor,
black and pink, pink and brown and
other dainty combinations. They come
at prices ranging from so cents to $3.50
and the glove silk hose at the last named
price are exquisitely beautiful whether
in black OF. colors. 5i3 Il
1t is in the dry goods stores that the
pretty silk comforters ranging from 81

to Sc can also be found and all the useful
articles of household linens, finest da-
masks, and embroidered towels. A set
OF the monogrammed towels, the large
bath towels and the small guest towels to
match, make delightful gift for the
housewife.
We haven't told you thing about the
gifts for father, son, brother or sweet
heart. That isn't because there are
none; quite the contrary for certainly
there never was a greater assortment to
choose from than the city stores are
showing right now. Umbrellas and
canes, gold or silver mounted, ranging
in price from $1.00 to $500, gloves, or
glove certificates, $10O to 5000 in the
kid and the auto driving gloves ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50, to say nothing of the
warm wooden gloves that run from so
cents to $500. Bathrobes, in all the
hues OF Joseph's coat ranging from $500
to $1,000, fancy sets of armbands and
garters, only rs to so cents, all in holi-
day boxes. And by the way, the boxes
themselves come in new shapes and
patterns. Then there are the travellers
utility bags, containing half dozen
pockets for the military brushes and
other articles of personal use. They run
in price from $3.50 up. Pullman
SliDDers in handy cases RI talo I'M little
room in the travelling bag, only $1.OO
to $3.50. Handkerchiefs, of course,
plain and monogrammed, three in box,
rs, so and Is cents. Neckwear, be
careful about buying that if you are q
lady and want it for your men people,
for they are coming in pretty giddy
colors just now and perhaps ''he" would
just little rather make his own selection.
One more article in the clothing store
and we are done with them. It Is .

who would not be more than delighted to
find this garment in this or her stocking
Christmas morning. It is a Chamois
Skin Sport Coat and until you see one
you will not be able to imagine it's beauty
and utility. 1t is made of skin so light,
so pliable that it feels like velvet and yet
it is impervious to the cold winds that
sweep down the street and creep thru
garments of wool and fur. It possesses
a rare combination of warmth, ease,
comfort and practical use and beauty.
| The New York shops are selling them
at $25, but New Ulm merchants quote
them $500 cheaper.
Just one more place to visit and then
you will be ready with your list to start
out. Have you ever thought Of buying
your Christmas gifts at hardware
store? If not you have no idea how
many delightful things are to be found
there. Naturally most of them are
suitable for the housewife but there are
other items too, such as manicure sets
that every girl ought to have. There
are skates such as every boy wants, and
| by the way, the dealer told us that
skates were never so cheap before. He
says they are the only thing that he
knows of that have gone down in price
this year. There are mechanics tools
and tools for the small son of the family
who is inclined that way, or who may
be induced to use such things for con-

natural bent Of destructiveness. For
the housewife there are innumerable

A Valiant Hereto.

The death of DR.. Charlton Bastian calls
TO remembrance a series Of scientific con-
troversies that were of singular interest
and real Importance forty years ago or
more. The question at issue is held to be
settled to-day-if not in a speculative
sense at least experimentally, in so far as
DR.. Bastian's own work is concerned-and
the common verdict is clearly against the
conclusions he drew from his achievements
in the laboratory. So of late he was as a
voice crying in the wilderness, for few
would be at the pains to follow his later in
vestigations, still less to refute his argu-
ments in favor of spontaneous generation.
To q majority of later generation he
must have appeared as one ruled by an in
durable obsession, a mere crank, incapable
of accepting new conceptions Of vital phe-
nomena. 1t would be altogether unjust to
dismiss him In this manner. That he was
an Investigator of rare accomplishment is
shown by the excellence and diversity Of
his work in physiological and medical
fields. But this subject of abiogenesis was
undoubtedly the one that fascinated him
above all others, and in face of the most
powerful opposition he stuck to his own
conviction to the end and never tired in
his endeavors to convince skeptical and,
as he thought, prejudiced world.
II must be remembered that in the third
quarter Of the nineteenth century the doc
trine Of omne viUum e ViUO was little
shaken by the study of bacteriology; not,
indeed, in the minds Of investigators like
Pasteur, but in the minds Of some minor
observers, who imagined that the micro
scope had brought out some new evidence
Of spontaneous generation and were evil
IDENTIFY very ready TO accept It, slight as il
was. A few centuries earlier men believed
that mice were bred by corruption, that
frogs were created by the rain falling. For
a long time after these gross misconcep-
tons had been abolished il was still sup
posed that maggots were born Of decaying
meat For those who still sought for a
clear demonstration Of spontaneous birth
there was hope in the minute forms of life
that the microscope had revealed. IL would
not be fair TO say that DR.. Bastian set
out on his inquiries with an established
preconception, but he certainly stuck to his
conclusions with tenacity worthy Of a
psychic researcher.
His way of dealing with his opponents

Glory and Wet Powder.

Desperate criminals are not such COM
monplace of the remote Maine landscape
as to stimulate the officers Of the law there
TO constant preparedness. Perhaps that IS
why Policeman Charles s. Mcintosh, Of
Portland, when on Thursday he confronted
the two burglars who had sought TO rob
the little West Falmouth railroad station,
could cause only one of the five cartridges
in his revolver to explode. And as direct
consequence, it may we'll be, he lies dead
to-day. a martyr to duty and an object les
son to the nation.
But if Policeman Mcintosh is good
representative of the men still bred among
the SHOWS of the Pine Tree State, let those
who affect TO deplore Down East degen-
eracy forever hold their peace. This is the
story of his martyrdom:
Winslow, the station agent (may his
soul also rest in ValhallaD on discovering
the burglars escaping, had telegraphed to
Portland for assistance and taken up the
pursuit toward the city. Mcintosh, sent
out to intercept them, arrived to see the
station agent exchange shots with his
quarry and topple over dead. The police
man tugged at the trigger of his all but
useless revolver. "He was shot twice
through the shoulder and breast, but threw
himself upon the pair and stunned one
Ct them with blow of his club. The other
closed with him and they fought desper-
ately for several minutes, until the man
drove his dirk into Mcintosh, stabbing the
officer in the abdomen"
Whereupon brave spirit took fight, I'M
ready but tragically willing, like so many
of those million patriots whom Mr.. Bryan
speaks of summoning overnight, all po-
tential victims of glory and wet powder.

Efficiency Baked.

Can it be possible that German eff
cheney is to be baked at last? And
baked, moreover, by so vague, intangible
and altogether immaterial an adversary
as words-mere words? Indications
which lead only to that conclusion are be-
ginning to escape to the outside world.
Early in the trouble it became known to
the Teutonic philologists that there were
100000 words of foreign derivation in the
German dictionary. Now, it would have
been easy enough to take Big Bertha
and blow the dictionary to pieces, as the
Antwerp Notifications were made to
crumble. But such procedure was deemed
to be too frightful, even for Germans, so
a meeting of the General German Ian
guage Club was held. There the in
vading words were denounced in good
mouth-flling polysyllables of unquestion-
able Teutonic ancestry, and a decision
was reached to expel all the foreign
ers from the dictionary, the country
and the minds of the citizens thereof.
Right there efficiency struck snag. A
representative of the hotelkeepers pro-
tested violently. "Hotel," he admitted,
was an importation from France, and
ought TO be sent back TO Paris. And yet
and yet-the word was known the world
over, and 40 per cent Of the visitors to
those institutions in Germany were for
eigners. A change might be desirable
but it might also be costly So, after hot
debate, the twitching of the pocket-nerve
was soothed by the decision to retain the
word even though French, in general
use.
Thereupon other protests were made so
that now the campaign against the in
vaders seems TO be a deadlock akin to
that on the Western front-the foreign
words are "dug in" and the Germans are
pledged TO drive them out and replace
them with good German words" "as far
as possible The question Of how and
when remains yet TO be settled. It is a
sad blow 10 the much-vaunted efficiency
which portends i'll for the scheme of world
dominion.

A Tax on Signboards.

Judge Swami, in advocating the restric-

taxation, lays emphasis on the power Of

This seems oyersanguine. For years the

officials interested 10 take up the matter

Motor Cars and Submarines.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Suppose that instead of trying to keep
the spirit of hatred toward Germany at fever
heat by continually harping upon the more
than one hundred men, women and children
murdered (?) travelling through war zone
on ship of the enemy, which they had been
particularly warned to keep off Of, you
excite yourself editorially for a while over
the more than one hundred men, women and
children-l60 to be precise-who have been
murdered on the streets of New York since
last January, while peacefully pursuing their
accustomed business.
This will not help you any with the NUM-
tion workers, nor with the strongly pro-ally
members Of our government, but it may help
some in the preservation of human life, which
seems to be in far greater danger from auto
mobiles on the streets OF New York than
from submarines in the English Channel

WHY Invite More Trouble?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t Is assumed that German naval ana
military attaches will be appointed TO take
the places vacated by those interesting IN
dividuals, Captain Won Papen and Captain
Boyd Why does the Washington admins
tration desire to go through this wretched
spv-detecting and spy-convicting business over
again. We all know perfectly well that their
successors will be men Of exactly the same
mental and moral calibre-and do we want
them? They will be a continual expense to
the nation. from the moment Of their arrival,
in the shape Of salsried detectives to wateh
their movements; why go through this worse
than useless formality?
In regard to paroles from these departing
Teutonic warriors, does not the whole world
know that German officers are not bound by
tbeir word of honor % which is, to them,
merely a scrap Of psperl Why not face facts
as they are? T. -

What Whitman Candidacy Means

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The other night the Republican Com
mittee Of Kings County Endorsed Mr.. Whit
man for President The people should know
what that means. 1t means that Whitman is
the choice of Barnes.
Jake" Livingston is the mouthpiece Of
Barnes in Kings County. He ran a straight
ticket made up of district leaders at tho last
election. Every man on the ticket except
Cropsey was beaten. Cropsey was Endorsed
by the Progressives and had made a splendid
record.
In Liyingston's own Senatorial district he
lost one Assemblyman and two Aldermen.
Livingston introduced the resolution in
dorsing Whitman, but the people Of Brooklyn
know that he is only Barnes's Office boy in
Kings County, and the people of the state
and nation should know that Whitman is the
candidate Of Barnes. JAMES REILLY.
