gifts" rejoined Mr. Gorse. you

On Christmas Day the Gorses
drove up to the big white country
house in their fiivver. Such well
come as they received. Not an
idle nor an embarrassing moment
even as Mrs. Gorse, who discard
ed so reluctantly the weight OF city
poverty. Laughter, music, fun pre-
vailed. And after dinner, when the
grown-ups peeked into the nursery
to see what the children were do
ing. Mr.. Gorse had his triumph
The children had discarded their
expensive toys, and sat in circle
on the floor playing with some ten
cent magnets he had brought
"You know our children's likes
better than we do" said the charm

back to the living room. "And

much as the books you brought
me, unless it is to have you here
on Christmas Day"

words rang true-H. Lucius Cook

AFTER 20 YEARS \ TREATY IS RATIFIED

Senator Copeland of New York, in arguing against tlIe Isle of Pines treaty with Cubu which was pigcon- holed for % years before being finally ratified by the senate yestcr- day, claims that as Americans bought land on the island, it ought to be under the American flag. The facts are that the Americans who bought the land were told by real estate men that the island was not included in Cuba's jurisdiction by the treaty with Spain following the war of 1898. The buyers of the land were fooled when they bought it,
 In theory it does not matter which of the two nations actually "owns' the island, as it was agreed from the first that the United States was to administer the islands affairs. The main difference was that fruit from the island wouldn't have to pay duty to enter the United States if the Senate failed to ratify the Isles of Pines treaty.
 The Senate finally disposed of the treaty, the vote of 63 to IA indicat- ing that opposition to the treaty had steadily dwindled.
 Considering that it took 20 years to take action on the treaty, others of importance may yet win out, but in the meantime much water run' under the dam. The Senate seems 10 be the only body in the ianc which is not noculated with th' speed mania.

The car hurled from thetrack and upset on the sidewalk, and nothing but speed could have caused the car to travel such a distance after leaving the tracks, It was unfortunate for the motorman that this conclusion was so entirely logical and tenabIe; but ii was also unfortunate for the pas sengers who were in the vehicle 16 of whom were injured.

 The accident had a fortunate out come considering the sensational oycrturn of such a conveyance while going at high speed. That there were no deaths nor more serious injuries was the quinteesence of luck, No more reliance should be placed on luck; let the main reliance be upon careful driving.
