BIG XMAS in CHICAGO
All Shopping Records Smashed
Stores Can't Get Enough Clerks.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Millions of dol
lars are being spent on State street
here which is doing the greatest pre-
Christmas business in the history Of
Chicago. American prosperity is Civ
en- as one cause for the tremendous
business being done.
Chicago's great shopping center is
one mass of early Christmas shoppers
from morning until the stores close.
State street alone has added more than
10000 employees to its normal quota
and more are being sought without
any being available to fill the demand
1t is estimated that the department
stores alone are doing from rs to 40
per cent more business han ever be-
fore at this season.
One of the outstanding features of
the Christmas shopping is the demand
for japanese made goods and toys.
The war closed the market to the old
familiar German toy leaving a splen-
did opportunity for the Japanese
which they quickly took advantage of.

During the present session of Con-
gress a bill will be introduced provid-
ing. for the admission of Hawaii to
fun statehood in the Union. The con-
gressional representative from the is
lands asserts that Hawaii has reached
that state of advancement where it is
entitled to full recognition and full
representation in Congress. In point
of population. wealth and loyalty 1t is
entitled to statehood" he says. Fav-
orable action on the territory's appli-
cation would be in accordance with
thesAmerican idea of republican gov
erfinent. 1t would be the first state
formed of non-contiguous territory.
Statehood for Porto Rico, Alaska and
the Philippines would follow natural
ly in due course of time. But how
far. removed from the ideas of the
founders of the government is all this!

problems with which society ever has

statement in an address here before

after reviewing conditions as to IL

I'VE propose that congress exercise

strengthened and it's powers over rates
Increased and that it's duties as to de-
lection and punishment shall be
placed in the hands of another fed
eral commission, subordinate to the
interstate commerce commission and
to the regional commission in various
traffic centers. We shall ask also that
the interstate commerce commission
be gi-en power to prescribe minimum
as well as maximum rates in order to
prevent discrimination and the rail-
roads will ask congress to shorten the
period in which rates may be SuS-
pended by the interstate commission
from ten months to sixty days with
the provision that if the suspended
rate shall be found unreasonable the
carrier shall reimburse the shipper"

SAD AND MOVING TALE
Craftsmen Work All Night, Get So,
Land in Jail.

Chicago, Dec. 40. Henry might
have told this story and told it well.
1t is a sad and moving tale calculated
to wiring tears from the eyes of honest
cracksmen the world over. 1t is about
three ambitious Chicago yeggs who
were out of luck.
They selected the dry goods store of
William Lederer as the scene of their
nefarious operations. After several
hours of hard work, during which they
almost had to take the store apart,
they succeeded in entering. The work
they did in breaking into the store
would have been worth IS each to
them. easily at honest labor.
Once inside they fell upon the cash
register. 1t contained So. They each
took 81 and turned to the safe. They
worked on the safe long enough to
make a new one. They drilled it and
filled it and beat upon it with sledges.
Then they filled the holes with nitro
glycerin and were just about to blow
it to pieces when the police came. In
cidentally, the safe didn't contain a
penny. And so, after a hard nights
work, with the sweat of dishonest toll
dripping from their brows, they were
taken to Jail. There they said they
were John Ryan, Harry Edwards and
Henry Kerr.

WOMEN CAUSE OF

Aurora, Ill, Dec livery other
person in Aurora has the grippe, Dr.
A r. Reder, former health officer
said He blamed the women almost
as much as the weather. His reasons
are: Most of the patients are women
They dress for a hot house and run

up. Grippe is contagious and the men
can't escape with the women catching
it"
One other reason for the prevalence
of the vexing i'll. is the refusal of aver

Madeline trembling, and when Peter
Lansdale drew her away from the
quiet but terrified crowd, she chung to
him as if she woulG never let him go.
She expected him to hold her close,
as if she was the most precious thing
in the world to him. Instead, he gazed
intently over her head as he put her
into a chair and told her to stay
where she was until he returned.
Chilled, even in her fright, she did
not mean to be left alone by the one
person Upon whom sh had the claim
of friendship and she followed him to
the rope that separated the first from
the second class passengers Pande-
monium was on the other side, and in
the midst was Peter, holding baby in
his arms and trying to quiet the
frightened mother. He saw Madeline,
and before she could offer protest had
given the child into her keeping and
disappeared.
1t was the first time she had ever
held a little child and she looked down
upon it fearfully. She expected it to
cry, but it poked at her eyes and
caught her fingers in its chubby hand.
Before she realized what she was do
ing she was holding the little face
close to her own and humming an air
she had not heard since she was a
child herself
1t was then that she glanced up into
Peter Lansdale's face and the look in
his eyes made her put the baby into
its mothers arms and turn quickly to-
ward the sea. She heard him say there
was no danger, but all else was lost
in the sudden emotion that held her
in it's grip. For the first time she was
making the fight for a career or for
the man she loved. She had worked
hard to fill her own particular niche
and she felt that she could not give
it up. Then came the memory of a
m Of
her heart. AS that thought claim ed
her she felt an arm about her Shout
ders. Her face brushed against a rough
sleeve as it was lifted to that other
lowered one, and she knew that Peter
Lansdale, not a career. could give her
complete happiness.
They were married when they
reached st. Johns, and the two months
she had expected to spend in wander
ing alone about Newfoundland were
glorified by the love that passeth all
