Christmas Presents
That Please Men
.NII[IIIIITIlE

T Asst Christmas many n man de-
cided his feminine friends were
not worthy Of the vote simply be
cause they sent him such foolish, IN
appropriate gifts. On the other hand,
successful present makes an impress
sion that never wears of. IL is lit
tie monument to the taste, Intelligence
and affection Of the slyeF.
Among the following suggestions Ia
almost certain to be something which
will please any man
II he shayes himself one of the light,
magnifymg shaving mirrors which can
be quickly and easily attached to
window or wherever the light is good.
A trousers rack will please him great
ly. especially II he Is bachelor and
his closet room Is limited.
The furniture and department stores
carry hat. wide. shallow cedar chests
OH wooden wheels which roll easily out
from under the bed This Is particular.
ly adapted to the college boy In his lit
tie dormitOry room. For him also q
sweater is Joy.
A small kit OF tools II a good present
for almost any man unless lie is car
penter or a paralytic. One to half .
dozen pairs Of shoe trees are an mex
pensive but grateful present.
In case he has electricity in his house
there is no end OF good things for him
coffee percolatOrs, bread toasters, e.
gar lighters, etc.
II he has car you may charm him
with one Of the new tangled pneumatic
or other cushions which are now sold
to re-enforce the upholstery Of the car.
A lap robe or yulcanizer or vacuum
bottle or even a new horn may be Just
the thing for him.
Very likely he has telephone. II
so get little mahogany card index
file and have some one preferably
you look up the telephone numbers OF
the people in his address book and
write them on the cards.
A fountain pen for his desk would
prove a convenience and delight
Should you care to pay $40 you can
surprise and please a man who has a
little bit OF accounting to do at home
by giving him a pocket adding machine
For about the same price you can buy
him real, fool proof, portable shower
bath.
Metal waStebaSkets are appreciated
by men because lighted cigar or ciga-
rette dropped into them is not likely
to bring the fire department.
A frame for a cabinet sized photo
graph will not be amiss If you are sure
he wants your picture in It,
But don't send him a necktie, nor
a scarfpln, nor matchbox or he'll new

| n a place bullt, ike Detnleleni, III
i many cases against the soft
limestone rock it often happens
that the existence Of a cave where
the house was to be was a great at
traction since it offered a ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
well as a specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for a
storeroom. 1t would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion OF house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar Of
the Church Of the Nativity IS now
shown as the very place where this
august event transpired; little re-
cess, shaped like clam shell, its
floor of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, "Hcre Jesus Christ Was
Born of the Virgin Mary" A row
of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing a jealousy watched matter, each
of the ancient churches, the Greek,
the Latin. the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more OF these
under its care.
The evidence for this site ia Sc
strong that most persons accept II as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days OF
the apostles. But even if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour Of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that we read
Of the anthem Of the angels, for
surely nothing could draw forth the
interest of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene of the visit Of the shep.
herds is pointed out as on a rough
slope, facing the village, at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem ly'
ing far above on its mountain seat
One can follow the shepherds in
their journey to see the unspeakabl(
wonder. They would go along the
rich valley-of Boaz and then up the
terraced hill by a path still in use
nor is it uninstructive to reflect
that, while simple shepherds were
led by angels to the manger, thc
high priests and the great of Jeru
salem, so near, slept through thai
most illustrious night Of all history
quite unconscious of what had hap
pened. But we know of it, and may
God grant that if We cannot go witt
the shepherds to Bethlehem we MAJ
one day go to the right hand of Coo
and worship him there, who tha'
night lay a little child in Mary
arms.-Dr. Cunningham Geikie.

CLAN DOUGLAS BEATEN

Fine Bowling by Skip Ptolomey's
 Boys Aid St. Elmo Lodge, K. of P.
 in Downing League Leaders.
 When Skip Ptolomey's team of St. Elmo lodge. K. of F. came through on rink one in the Fraternal Carpet Bowls league with a IT to 12 score over Clan Douglas, O. S. c. it spelled defeat for the league leaders, who in spite of the two victories gained in rinks two and three were unable to overcome the lead, and the Scots were for the second time this season forced to accept the short end of match. The result puts St. Elmo lodge nearer the top and judging from the form being displayed by the Pythian bowl CTS a close race is looked for during the remainder of the season for first place honors.
 The results on the rinks were as follows:
 Rink 1-Clan Douglas, o. s. C., skip Patterson, 12; St. Elmo lodge, K. of P., skip PtolomN. IT,
 Rink 2-Clan DouN,s, O. s. C.. skip Drummond, IA St. Elmo lodge, K. of F.. skip Spence, 13.
 Rink 3--Clan Douglas, O. s. C., skip Robb, IA; St. Elmo lodge K. of P, skip Hall. 13.
 Total Score-Clan Douglas, O. s. c. 40, St. Elmo lodge, K. of P. 43.
 Tonight Phenix lodge, 10. o. F. will play Clan Douglas. The Odd Fellows are out on the trail of the Scotchmen and hope to pull down their lead this evening.

Bridgeport, Jan. 12.-K. O. Swee- ney of New York submitted to one of the worst beatings of his career at the hands of Hugh Ross the local mid dleweight, here last night. Ross hit Sweeney when and where he pleased in every one of the twelve rounds, there being no question as to which was the better man. Ross peppered Sweeney with lefts and rights from gong to gong but was unable to put the latter down for count. Sweeney was slow on his feet and lacked the punch and stamina that made him a huge favorite here a few years ago.

STRIKE CRISIS NEAR
Fultz Says Training Camps VIII Be
 Unnecessary if Minors Demands Arc Not Granted

Unnecessary if Minors Demands Are
 Not Granted.
 New York, Jan. 12.-The threat of baseball strike in the major and mi nor leagues took on 8 serious aspect last night, when President David l.. Fultz of the Baseball Players Frater- nifty declared in emphatic terms that unless the requests of the fraternity for the betterment of conditions for minor league players were granted there would be no need of training camps this spring. The announce ment came like a thunder-clap to the baseball club owners, because up to the present time they have had un- limited confidence that all the play CTS would sign their contracts without hesitancy. -s
 That the fraternity means business Harry F. Sallee, the Giants pitcher, is shown by it's action in expelling from the organization, accusing him of breaking his pledge that he would await permission of the organization before af1ixing his signature to con- tract. Sallee was the first player to sign a new contract. and President Fultz says that Slim acted in direct violation of his pledge. The New York pitcher Is the first player who has ever been subjected 10 this radi- cal action by the players organiza-

Attack and Defense.

Football leaders waited only year or two before chopping away certain sections of the defense to give the at tack chance.
 Those in charge of baseball or most of them, have taken little interest in the matter of building. up a more at tractive game. They are willing enough to admit that thei defense has all the best of 1t, and that entirely too many ball games are merely duels be- tween two pitchers. with the rest of the cast rarely involved in the days controversy.
 But admitting this, they are content to forget about it and pass along to other details.
 If making the game any more at- tractive to the spectator is any part of the desire or thought of baseball leaders, the least that can be done Is this: ....
 1. To eliminate the spitball, or the application of any outside matter to the cover. < 2. Eliminate one of the foul strikes. ls. 8. Have a stricter balk interpreta- tion rigidly enforced. tG These changes call for no vital up- sets and they would, of an absolute surety, be a big advance in the proper direction.

Ball Players and Golf.


 It is simple enough to understand why so many ball players take so kindly to golf. There is nothing in his own game that go appeals to ball player as Distinguishing a good, husky wallop.
 But, whereas baseball smash that travels 40 yards is a corker, a good long golf wallop can travel from 250 to 300 yards-over double the dis tance.
 We have noticed frequently that the most appealing shot in golf to most ball players is a good lo1lg carry ever some trap. This seems to have the same appeal that hitting one over the fence has in baseball You rarely see a ball player in golf play one safe. side one only to make the cary, he steps up 70 give tl,e ball a ride. We saw Christy Mathewson one day, after topping his drive on the 420-yard 18th hole at Englewood, carry the deep bunker guarding the green when he was fully 240 yards away. It looked to be the most foolish possible chance, but he took it and made good by put ting everything he had into the smash ] that followed.
