her bedside.
Mrs. Norman was a most ex-
cellent Christian woman and
had lived a long and useful life.
Her many excellent traits gath
cred to her a large circle of
friends and she was loved by all
who knew her.
The following children survive:
Jane Hartman, Tanner; w. H.
Norman, Tough; Rachel Barker
and Sarah Barker, of Monroe
county. Ohio; Daniel Norman,
Washington county, Ohio; l..

Assemblyman Peacock appeared in
behalf of George Sloan and Samuel
Lennon who had pleaded guilty of
stealing chickens. He produced two
witnesses to testify to the good char
acter of the accused and said this Of
tense was the first of criminal ma
ture ever brought against the men.
They did not go into the chicken yard
and commit the thefts, but knocked the
fowls over as they roamed around the
premises of the defendants. Judge
Lippincott said he wanted more evil
dence on the character of the men and
he laid the case over for one week.
William Riker was called for sem
tence for passing worthless checks and
securing goods under false pretences.
This was not his first offense. Judge
Lippincott gave the prisoner severe
lecture. He had ordered an examina-
ton into the physical condition of the
prisoner and the result showed that
Riker is suffering with tuberculosis.
A sentence in the state prison which
the Judge told the prisoner he certain
ly deserved might be the cause of his
life being shortened and in order to
avert any such result and to possibly
prolong the mans life sentence would
be suspended. Restitution of the
amount obtained must be made within
one year, the defendant must abstain
from drinking intoxicants for at least
year except as ordered by his ply
stefan and he was given a year to pay
the costs. In pronouncing sentence
Judge Lippincott told Riker that if he
came back to court on any charge he
would have good chance Of going to
the state prison and that the prolong-
alton of his life was in his own hands.
Friday was taken up with the case of
the srate against George Witcraft, of
Viucentown, charged with an indecent
upon girl IA years of age. This
case was tried at the April term of court,
and resulted in disagreement of the
jury. Fridays result was different and
the defendant was found guilty.
CSbCiudy y uubc OdETOW opened court.
The first case called was that of William
S. Fryer against the Mount Holly
Water Company for damages sustained
by his daughter contracting typhoid
fever from the impure water claimed to
have been furnished by the water COM
pany. James Mercer Davis represented
Mr.. Fryer and said he would show that
there were several cases of typhoid fever
that were traceable to the water, and
that MIR. Fryer was entitled to compen-
sation for the expense he had been put
to and for the loss of the services of his
daughter during her Illness. V. Claude
Palmer and former JudgeiStarr. appeared
for the water company. Mr.. Palmer
said they would show just the contrary
to what Mr.. Davis had presented, and
that he would introduce evidence to
prove that the water company installed
a filter plant in 1902 and that it had
performed its work in giving
good water.

mind watch out for certain violators.
Chicago is only taking steps to
educate it's citizens in their full
duties as citizens, rather than to
make policemen out of them. There
may be friction at first, in working
out the plan, for the opening is one
which busybodies will plunge into
with enthusiasm. But this can be
avoided by careful scrutiny of the
volunteers for such service. If the
volunteer force is changed once a
year in about ten years Chicago will
have a group of citizens trained to
assume their full civic duty when
they sec a violation of the law, and
more thoroughly acquainted with the
laws and police regulations of their
CITY.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Since last April an almost con-
tinuous struggle has been going on
for the possession of the Hartmans-
Weilerkopf, a peak of commanding
importance in the western line Of
war, whose height dominates import
ant roads, equally necessary to
either side. Many thousands Of
troops have been sacrificed by both
sides in the struggle; and a few
days ago it was announced that the
French, by a magnificent movement,
had taken the summit from the Ger
mans, with considerable losses to
both sides. Now comes the report
that the Germans have retaken the
support, or part of the positions
there.
This is the frightful procedure of
the war of attrition; of grinding
away the forces of both sides by rub
bing them together. The position
becomes, after near a year of such
intensive fighting, less important
than the fact that it provides point
of contact around which the contend
ing armies may wear themselves
away. 1t becomes almost question
of which side can go on losing mar
for man, and still have man left
at the end to stand on the coveted
summit and wave his flag.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

BY Louis Varnum Woulfe.
Centuries ago l first appeared at
the cradle of an humble king. To-
day, l am the great uplifting moral
force. At other times, my influence
is less expressive. But, in season, l
walk abroad.
| am the master magician. / touch
commonplace and prosaic things and
change them into treasures of con-
tentment. / am the creator of joy;
the maker of peace; the sponsor of
good will. The mind of the small
boy and the little girl is infused by
me with wonderful delights. / reign
where hearts are doubling and kiss
into being the loveship that lasts. I
step into the life of those upon
whom age has smiled tenderly and
stir pleasant thoughts of the long
ago years.
I take keen pleasure in causing
mirthful laughter at the fireside. The
well-ladened baskets that comfort
the poor often clothe my presence.
Frequently, I conceal myself in the
sympathetic word to the shop girl;
in the liberal motive which inspires
consideration for the toiling masses;
in the generous impulse which opens
the purse to the needy and makes
charity greater than. word.
cannot confine my prestige to
any person or place. l am universal
and inclusive. No palace is toe
princely to house me. No cottage
is too humble to entertain me. En-.
couragement is the aftermath of my
passing. Words of gentleness live
wherever l go. Cordial handgrasps
follow the dictates of my will. Peo.
pie in streets and in homes learr
from me the profession of helpful
ness, and, at the hearing of my
voice, sorrowing hearts are glad
dened. Unselfishness is with me ;
cardinal characteristic. My apostle!
are the serviceable men and womer
who add to the sum total of human
happiness and comfort every day
everywhere. live to bless; to max,
kindness supreme; to reconcile al
differences.
l AM THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
