OF the Republicans seems TO meet
with very general satisfaction thru
out Michigan. Mr. Groesbeck anita
gonized none of the other candidates
in the primary race. He did his duty
as attorney general, solicited votes

alone to get what he could. This poll

USE or CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Good St. Nicholas, saint Of Fourth
Century Of Christian Era,
Founder Of Custom.
HRISTA[AS st0eklngs have

c(1T~ HRISTAIAS stockings have
SMA come down to us from the
~ liz good st. Nicholas. who was
- saint Of the fourth cen
fury Of the Christian era
and was born December 6, 342, in
Lycia, Asia Minor. He was regarded
as especially the patron saint of chill
dren. young girls and sailors. The
Christmas stocking custom arose as
follows:
It seems that st. Nicholas, who was
the archbishop Of Myra, lived in The
same town with an impoverished no
bleman who because he had no por-
lions to give his daughters, and indeed
no means with which to support them,
was about to sell them into a life Of
sin. st. Nicholas, who was accus-
toned to dispense his large fortune in
gifts Of charity, resolved TO rescue the
young women. AS he approached
their house wondering how he should
proceed. the moon shone out and dis
played an open window. Instantly st.
Nicholas threw purse Of gold in at
the window which, falling at the feet
of the father of the girls, enabled him
to portion his oldest daughter. The
second time st. Nicholas visited the
house he also was able to throw
purse of gold through an open window,
thus providing for the portion of the
second daughter. On the third visit
the father, watching for his benefac-
tor, cast himself at the feet Of the
saint and cried:
ooh, st. Nicholas, servant of God,
why seek to hide thyself?"
The saint made the father promise
not to reveal his benefactions. From
this habit of bestowing gifts in secret
and under the cloak of night arose the
practice Of putting out shoes or stock
ings for the younger members of the
family, so that the good saint would
be able to fill them without being spied
on. At one time it was the custom
for young women pupils in converts
on the even of Saint Nicholas to hang
their new silk stockings on the door
of the apartment of the abbess. They
would also write notes calling the
attention Of the good st. Nicholas
to their stockings. In the morning
when the convent pupils who had not
gone home for the holidays arose they
invariably found their stockings filled
with sweetmeats.

BE SURE GIFTS WILL PLEASE
In Making Same Articles for Friends
1t Is Well to Be Sure of
Appreciation. Fl

EYUN7 WOMAN tells in recently
k1\4$H4G published magazines how
SSydE|s she has a. "pillow Christ
N46M mas" for the benefit of her
many friends. She con-
suited the piece bag, and from it drew
forth the materials for making any
quantity of dainty sofa pillows, all des-
tined for different friends. The cost
Of the materials was chiefly that spent
for silk cords, for embroidery silk and
for filling for the completed pillows.
Nearly all the pillows were made by
COUGHING figures cut from contrasting
materials on a chosen background,
and the result was completed. The
very same idea might also be carried
into effect by the girl who loves to
make dainty stocks. There never was
time when the prevailing styles Of
fered such dainty array Of collars,
and a box of assorted colors and kinds
would be welcomed by any girl friend.
There might be found in the piece
bag all sorts of bits of silk and rib
bon which could be fashioned into the
daintiest of dressy stocks, MS well as
bits of lawn and percale which would
do nicely for stocks for every day
wear with cotton shirt waists. The
gift of a box, of stocks might be made
valuable If the box itself was thing
of beauty, and this could be brought
to pass by the girl who is expert with
her needle. Giving the same sort Of
gift to q large number of people is
perfectly proper if the gift is one which
is calculated to please everybody.
We've heard the story of a nice old
lady who always made pin-eushions
for all her nieces and mittens for all
her nephews every year. 1t was said
that her plan gave great pleasure to
one person, the aunt. It's good idea
to be sure your gifts will be appreci-
ated before you go into the wholesale
manufacture Of one style of article for
many people.

But a happ-er day was in store for them. The republicans acquired con trol in 1913 and opened the baths. The liveried lackeys did a hundred hand springs, and entered upon two-years' idle sweetness.
 And now they are alarmed and full of dreadful inquiry regarding the elec- tion. Their jobs, very soft ones, are at stake.

 Should Senator Penrose never return to the Senate, his tub could be transformed into a swimming pool for other senator's sons. But Penrose says he Is coming back along with Senator Hardins.

 It is estimated that the total number of Uncle Sans employees is 10000, with an average salary of $1,200. The amount to be deducted is 21a per cent, or 80 from each employe, or s12,O0O,000 from 10000 employees.
