Really Only One Occasion.

1t has often been matter Of specula.
ton as to when, If any time, a man
would feel perfectly at ease carrying a
doll. This perplexing question, one that
has no doubt disturbed the mental equl.
librium of many psychologists, was
solved the other night by two gentle.
men who had given the matter much
thought. The solution Of the prob,
lem was that the only time that a
male biped appeared unabaShed while
transporting n doll in his arms was
when he was returning. in triumph,

of the clock; she whirlsd like q crystal
prism. She jumped down and made
low bow to china shepherdess, and
then the shepherdess threw away her
crook and danced with the fairy. Away
they went, whirling and b0bbing and
turning and dipping. They jumped
over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the
air until you could not tell which was
the Snow Fairy and which the china
shepherdess.
Jerry and Sally clapped their hands
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snow
men.
Then the strangest thing happened.
They could not see the Snow Fairy at
all. She wasn't there, and if you'll
believe me- the china shepherdess was
standing stifly in her old spot as
though she'd never had a Thought OF
moving in her life.
Dear me-" said Sally rubbing her
eyes.
'Dear mel said Jerry rubbing his.
Mother came in soon after that. She
stood smiling down upon them.
Both you children were sound

And Sally and Jerry never said
word about the Snow Fairy. But they
were as cheerful as cherubs the rest
of the day.

Then for the time being l forgot all

me, says the New York Herald. He
was a very agreeable gentleman and

looked in on the chance that now l
was ready to buy; but my bank &C.

extent and l was not ready, as l told
him; but l added that when l was

yETHIN the shades Of evening gather
w And the Christmas time is here,
And you go home from your labor
To enjoy the Christmas cheer
When the Christmas tree is lighted
And the children gather round,
There is one thing must be present
If the greatest JOY is found.
There must be inner conscience
Telling you with truthful voice
That you've done something for someone
That will help that one rejoice
Some poor stranger, widow, orphan,
Someone that you did not owe.
All the gift need not be costly
To relieve anothers woe.
And the greatest gift at Christmas
That a person eer received
Was to know that through his efforts
Someone's suffering was relieved;
For the Master, on whose birthday
All the Christmas gifts are given,
VIII see that act and send to him
A Christmas gift from heaven.

Six Abductions Laid
To Liquor Baron in
Kentucky Mountains

CINCINNATI, July discharges
that moonshine "iquor baron" en-
throned high in the mountain fast
ness of Kentucky is responsible for
the mysterious disappearance Of six
women during the last half year
were made by Carl Schuett, promi-
nent musician here today.
Schuett declared his wife, Anna
Mae, 27, was victim of the alleged
moonshine chief, who forced her to
poison herself under threat of death
by torture.
Schuett claimed that with the as.
sistance Of friends he had solved the
mystery Of the mountain chief, fol.
lowing the disappearance of his wife
several weeks ago.
Authorities recently were puzzled
over finding the body of a girl named
Anna Mae in the little mountain
town Of Jean, KY. She had taken
her life with poison.
She was buried in Lawrence coun-
ty, KY, where, according to Schu-
EFT, the "moonshine baron" is an
officer.
Schuett said that from interview
ing people who had viewed the girls
remains he learned of her identity.
He received his "tip" he said, from
meager press dispatches that carried
the girls suicide name as Anna Mae.
Schuett asserted he would call
upon Governor Morrow for aid in
recovering the girls body. He also
claimed that his investigation, made
by auto with a party Of friends, had
revealed the feudist clansman ruled
over a band of seventy-fve moon
sinners, and that the entire county
was under his autocratic rule.

him over Lodge would make him

The Democratic senators, said
Senator Smith, were showing rare
judgment and craftsmanship in
their opposition to the Republican
tariff measures.
Point by point they have forced
ample debate on such provisions as
