Wheeler said:
THE anti-tobacco scarecrow of the
anti-prohibition association does not
fool any one. The Anti-Saloon League
forces have no intention to start this
crusade. The liquor traffic is a pub
lie nuisance. The tobacco habit may
be a private or personal bad habit,

MAIL HEARINGS END.
Pleas of Electric and Street Rail.
wavs for Rate Raise Considered.

Final hearings in the plea Of inter-
urban electric and street railways for
increased rates on second and third
class mail matter were heard today
before Examiner George n. Brown of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the hearing room of the commits
sion. Today's hearing eliminates six
weeks of testimony offered by electric
railways all over the country, during
which time examiners and attorneys
for the Post ONCE Department have
heard witnesses in cities from coast
to coast.
Rates on mail other than first-class
carried by interurban and street cleo
trio railways are claimed by the rail-
ways to be impracticable under
present conditions. These rates
were established thirty years ago and
1t is claimed that they are now out
of date and that the railways can
not afford to haul such mail matter
at the same rate as thirty years ago.
Final testimony for the railways was
offered by James w. WEIGH, secretary
Of the American Electric Railway
Association. 8. s. Ashbaugh repre-
scented the railways and Joseph
Stewart appeared for the Post Office
Department.

PRETTY LEGEND OF CHRIST
old-FoIk Tale Relates That stars
Danced and 8irds Sang on Day
:. Of His Birth.

When the child Of Nazareth was
born the sun, according to the Bosnian
legend, ''leaped in the heavens and
the stars around 1t danced. A peace
came over mountain and forest. Even
the rotten stump stood straight and
healthy on the green hillside. The
grass was beflowered with open bios
SONS. incense sweet as myrrh pervad-
I'd upland and forest, birds sang on
the mountain top and all gave thanks
10 the great God"
1t Is naught but an old-folk tale, but
It has truth hidden at its heart, for a
strange, subtle force, spirit Of gen.
ial good will, q newborn kindness,
seem to animate child and man alike
when the world pays its tribute to the
s'heaven-sent youngling," as the poet.
Orummond, calls the infant Christ.
When the three wise men rode from
The east into the west on their sad
dle-bows were three caskets filed with
gold and frankincense and myrrh, to
be laid at the feet Of the manger-
Graded babe Of Bethlehem. Begin
ming with this old. old journey the
spirit Of giving crept into the worlds
heart. As t61 m5n came bearing
gifts, 30 do we also; gifts that re-
lsve want, gifts that are sweet and
fragrant with friendship, gifts that
breathe love, gifts that mean service,
gjfts inspired still by the star that
shone over the City Of David 1000
years ago.
Then hang the green coronet Of the
Christmas tree with glitterfng baubles

On its emerald branches; bring Yule
