IN AM a Christmas Card. | was
born shortly before Christmas of
1918. was put away in box
after Christmas and the next year |
came forth again, and the price put
upon me had risen from two cents to
five.
The next year cost ten cents. Still
/ did not sell.
"Well have to charge a quarter for
that card" my owner said, land get
up the prices of some Of these others,
or they won't be bought"
SO l was quarter. And then !
cost so cents and was purchased.
The price mark has been left on me.
I've been travelling with 1t written on
my back ever since. Sometimes, too, |
get around to number of places
around Christmas time, especially If
I'm started off early in the first place,
SO far, too, I've been greeted with
Joy, and an exclamation / do not quite
understand.
ooh, good Here's card which Is
marked fifty cents. Who would believe
it possible, but no matter, it did And
it's not written on, either!"
| do not understand their joy over
me, but they never keep me with
them

H. CLAY EVANS
SUDDEN DEMISE
Distinguished Chattanooga
Found Lifeless in His Bed.
Republican Leader

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 12.-
H. Clay Evans, one Of the most d.s-
tinguished citizens of Chattanooga
and a political figure in Tennessee
for a generation, was found dead in
his bed this morning at his home in
East Terrace. Recently he had APP
parently been in the best of health,
and the news of his death was a shock
to the community. He is survived
by his wife and two daughters, Mrs.
j. w. Johnson, Of Chattanooga, and
Mrs. David Foote Sellars, whose hus-
band is an officer in the navy.
Mr.. Evans death is supposed to
have been due to heart trouble.
Mr.. Evans was a native of Penn
sylvania, where he was born June
IS, 1843, and after serving an en-
listment in the Federal army came
here in 1854 to accept clerkship
in the military depot. A few years
later he went to the Mex can border
and was connected with the rebuild
ing Of the army post at Brownsville,
Texas, returning in 1870 and organ
lied the Bromley & Evans Car
Wheel Foundry Company.
Mr.. Evans during the days of his
political activity was one fthe lead
ing republicans of the south and had
received many honors at the hands
Of his party. He had served in con-
gress, been assistant to the postmas-
ter-general, was twice a candidate
for governor, the first time being
elected on the face of the early re-
turns; was candidate for the nomi-
nation for vice-president in 1896,
commissioner of pensions, counsel
general to London, and in 1913 a
candidate for United States senator.
He was twice mayor of Chattanoo-
ga, member Of the first city. COM
mission here, and had received vari-
Gus other honors at the hands of his
adopted city. Mr.. Evans was re-
tired manufacturer and capitalist.

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
eTISNN HAT would Christmas be with
WIWH out the melody of the bells
ringing good will toward men ?


ringing good will toward men
Bell ringing Is one of the Oldest Of
Christmas customs. At one time, In
England, the ringers gave their serv-
Ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
rs q matter of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells In
Great Britain and wherever churches
have peals of bells, is today as much
a feature Of Christmas as the decora-
tion Of church and home with ever
greens, or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an cutlery there would be II
an edict were issued forbidding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season! Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1852 the wise men Of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the ttve-and-tWentleth DAY
Of December, commonly called Christ
mas day."
It is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
in others it led to open rioting, At
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived Of their
pleasures so easily, SO they took the
law into their own hands, broke the
mayors windows-and some Of his
bones as well--and affirmed their in
tention of keeping their Christmas in
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before them.

SENATE DESIRES
EARLY VACATION
Wants Railway Bill Post
poned-Finish Beer and
Grain Bills This Week.

While President Harding on his re-
turn will find the glad hand of welcome
extended to him by a number of govern
mental agencies desiring his advice and
guidance. the gladdest will be the fever
ish hand of the Senate. The Senate is
tired and wants a vacation, and the
chief executive will be asked to let the
railway bill go over for a while, after
the Senate has cleared up couple of
bills now under consideration.
The anti-beer bill and the Capper-
Tincher grain bill are in the final stages
of consideration, and it is hoped to finish
them this week. If the President insists
upon going on with the railway bill now.
senators apprehend weeks of debate and
see their hopes of rest vanished.
The tariff bill is dragging its weary
way along in the committee on finance.
with great deal of work yet to be done
on it. The suggested dye embargo and
the American valuation scheme are
causing the committee much concern and
thought
Work on the schedules of the tariff
bill will await the decision as to the
valuation basis, but if the Senate can
get recess the committee would expect
to proceed more rapidly.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the tax bill or the tariff bill shall take
precedence in consideration in the Sem
ate, the fact the tax bill is not yet in
sight serving to postpone the necessity
for decision of this question
