But the new Russian or Muscovite
boots are shapely. Sometimes they
are made of soft kid. with shapely
toes and fairly high heels and fit
fairly close over the ankles. A patent
fastening down the front keeps them
closed. There are still some Of the
boots made without opening. But
these are somewhat neater than they
used to he around the ankles because
there are permanent wrinkles there
that give the necessary fullness in
drawing the boot on without permit
ting the former saggine. These pleat-
ed boots. I believe, are called Lithua-

rubber inset Mt the side. after the

worked out to make these serviceable

The gift that f1atters most is the
gift that shows the most thoughtful
choosing. Any one can give cigars
and candy and handkerchiefs, but 1t
takes genuine interest to select the
right book, the right record, or the
right piece of furniture.
For instance, any home woman
who does needlework would be fiat
tered by the gift of this cozy little
easy chair and stately sewing table.
These two pieces could stand either in
her own room or in the living room
and would not be out of harmony
with either room.
The chair is a French peasant type
and is upholstered in a quilted ma
terial known as Touy.
The sewing stand is an early Amer
lean type. It's outward spread legs
lead one to suppose it was inspired
by a Duncan Phyfe design.

Rhode Island Invaded.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., December Z,
1776-A British fleet of 78 ships in
Guiding Army transports and Sir

this afternoon near Newport and
later came to anchor at WeaVers

The Dead Engineer Blamed.

After examination of the circum-
stances attending the wreck at BIaire-
vile, Pa, Wednesday night, in which
fifteen persons lost their lives, rail
road officials have announced that the
rear-end collision was caused by the
engineer of the following train run.
ming past flares set on the track by
Sfe brakeman of the forward train,
which had been halted for the repair
Of an air hose. The human error"
thus preclpitated the catastrophe It
so happens that the engineer who dis
obeyed orders is dead, having been
killed in the collision. He cannot be
called to account for the wreck in a
human court
But what of the system that impels
engineers Of railroad trains to make
the best time possible, to take chances
in order to make schedules? What of
the administration that neglects to
adopt measures of safety that prevent
the human error" and compel obedi-
ence to the supposed rules of security,
rules that are written and printed,
hut that are transgressed by train
drivers because they know that the
railroad administration expects them
to take chances7
The margin Of safety on railroad
line when trains are run under cfoge

headway is slender. The ignoring of
one signal may mean disaster.
Whether by day or by night the only
course of security lies In implicit
obedience to the tower arm or light.
The travelling public is given TO under
stand that under the operation of the
visual signal system only one train is
permitted at a time within ''block"
Of track. In practice it frequently hap
pens that more than one moving train
occupies a single block. There, is no
physical barrier to the following train.
The engineer uses his judgment in
fact. though not in theory.
THE engineer is dead" How often
that phrase occurs in reports of rail
road wrecks! Did the man in the cab
deliberately risk his own life. out OF
spirit Of bravsdo, or in contempt of
rules? Was his vision obscured, or did
he remember that the engineer who
brings his train in on time is rated
higher than the one who, by strict
observance of the regulations, may
bring it in tardy, but always safe, un-
less some one behind him gives him a
bump?
The man I'm the cab should not be
made responsible, should not be held
accountable, when II is possible by
the installation of mechanical device
to prevent the occupation of a single
block OF track by two trains at once
And refusal or neglect to install such
a system on the part of the railroad
relieves from any engineer
whose train is wrecked, all responsi-
bility for disaster such as that at
Biairsville. 1t is the living director OF
the corporation and not the dead en-
gineer who is to blame for the deaths.

Tax Rates and Yields.

Despite the latest reduction in rates,
internal revenue collections for the
fiscal year soon to end have thus far
been greater than during a similar
period a year ago. The figures for the
eleven months of the fiscal year end
ing May 81 show an excess Of nearly
5000 ,00O. 900 over last year.
Is this because Of greater prosperity
and hence greater volume of in
come? Or is it because the taxpayers
are rendered more liberal and
painstaking toward the Government
by the repeated reductions in the
rates?
1t is a well established fact that
lower rates yield larger returns.
Everybody buys more at lower prices
than at higher. Taxpayers, being
merely human beings, are quite as
likely to buy ease Of conscience more
freely at the lower rate of taxation
than the higher.

and rising yields 10 not new. 1t has

The Souls Hunger.

Acts, xvii.23: LAS / passed by, and
beheld your devotions, i found an
altar with this inscription, To TIE I'm
known God"
Every one of the great cities ancient
and modern has had it's temp es and
monuments witnessing TO It's belief In
divinity. Mans search for God has
marked every period of his history.
MY soul is athirst for God" was the
cry Of the Psalmist, and, expressed or
unexpressed, 1t has been in the soul Of
every generation of man since time
began. Man Is incurably religious"
When st. Paul entered Athens he
witnessed q city of unusual splendor
filled with rare works of art. The
noble figures of Minerva, Jupiter,
Mercury and the MUSES., the creations
OF Praxiteles, adorned the splendid
thoroughfares. He saw the great tenn
pies and public buildings that had
been called into being by the master
architects and artisans Of a glowing
period. Coming to the AgOra, OF great
market place, he doubtless heard the
orators and statesmen, the poets and
artists who We're wont to assemble
there. On lofty eminence he came to
the great Court of Justice known as
the Areopagus and, climbing still
higher, he reached the crown of
Athens known as the Acropoiis He
witnessed on every hand the works
of mans genius and skill, and again
he saw the evidence OF devotion to
ideals in the many affairs that were
reared 10 the deities of the far.famed
city. When at length an opportunity
was afforded him to address the curl
GUS crowds that had assembled to hear
some new thing. he began his remark
able address with these words: ''Ye
men of Athens, I perceive that in all
things ye are too superstitious. For
as / passed by, and beheld your de-
votions, | found an altar with this
inscription, To the Unknown God"
Taking this strange inscription as his
theme, he boldly declared, Whom
therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him
declare I unto you"
The address is one OF the notable
ones that proceeded from this extraor-
dinary man. and SO compelling was
1t that 1t aroused the deep interest as
well as the curiosity OF those who
heard II. What amazed the apostle
was the failure of the cultured peo-
pie of Athens TO readily apprehend
God. The situation that confronted
him was not unique to that period.
Stevenson once declared that there Is
q manifest God in the world for those
who care TO look for Him. No matter
how man may crafty his artistic
tastes or his love OF the beautiful,
through the creation OF the works of
his own hands. there is ever within
him longing for that which alone
satisfies the deeper passions and
