"Quacks" Reap Harvest
From Gullible Public

Burning a rabbits heart on the
fire to bring a mate for a lonely
woman; paying half crown for
quack consultation and a penny
worth of herbs; buying charms to
ward off evil; burning incense at
fOrtune-telling tea parties, and
reading teacups to discover wheth-
er husbands are faithful to their
wives! These are among the many
amazing performances carried on
in the West Riding Of Yorkshire.
Leeds and Bradford, in particular,
are infested with these places,
where people are induced to under
go treatment for all sorts Of all
ments and for all sorts of reasons.
Incompetent people calling them
selves "herbalists or advisers"
make examinations Of men and
women and then prescribe some
herb. Charms Of various kinds are
sold to ncurotic women suffering
from a fear complex. At Leeds one
woman paid 70 cents for a rats tail
that was supposed to have been
possessed of special powers. Many
homes have been destroyed by the
suspicious aroused in the minds Of
wives concerning their husbands.

Led by the Christmas
Spirit. They Re:oiced

Spirit, They Re;oiced
= ITTING before blazing fire
- and listening to the merry ca
rollers without, Martha BarrOas
felt all the joy of the Christmas
season. What a wonderful time it
was She smiled happily nj her
husband and son. Then hor
thoughts went back to that memo
rable Christmas years ago when
something had led her steps to the
Beacon Baby home. Again she
looked into the eyes of a blue-eyed
baby and felt that sudden desire to
have him for their own. George
had readily agreed to the adop-
tiOn. Bless his heart, he would
have agreed to anything to make
her happy. But the baby had
brought him happiness, too. He
was now one of the ablest lawyers
in town and had recently attracted
nationwide attention In winning
complicated case And the love
and comradeship he had given
them through the years was as
deep and fine as If he had been
their very own.
Truly, Martha Barrons thought.
as the voices of the carolers faded
into the night, it was the spirit of
Christmas that had directed her
steps on that long-ago Christmas.

Children's Christmas
Behavior Is Ever Thus

MO HOLIDAY finds SO many
y good boys and girls as does
Christmas. On Christmas morning
all the homes are filled with little
saints. Johnnie has been getting
in the wood and doing his chores
for the last month without being
told. Willie has had good lessons
every day and hasn't been kept in
after school during the entire
month. There has been no trouble
In getting the boys to go to Sun
day school. For some time they
have been getting out of bed in the
morning at the first call and their
table manners have greatly i'm
proved.
As soon as breakfast is over Sal
lie has her apron on and her
sleeves rolled ~, ready to wash
the dishes. Marie insists that she
be allowed to dry them. They
hurry through with the dishes so
that they will have time to sweep
the house before school time.
Papa is well kissed and hugged
before he starts for the Office in
the morning and all the children
are at the gate to meet him when
he gets home in the evening. Santa
seems to be helping the children
greatly.-William L. Castor.

Jim Arrives by Plane,
In Time for Christmas

1T WAS Christmas eve. The Gar
l. ner home radiated the spirit
and happiness of Christmas. Soft
lights filled the rooms; holly
wreaths hung in the windows, and
a great fire was blazing on the
hearth. There was a family re-
union; the children were all there
now except Jim, and they were
looking for him at any moment.
Then the telephone rang and
Jim's voice came over long dis
tance. He had taken a later train
and had missed connections at Chi
cago-there was no way Of getting
there tonight. He expressed the
deepest regrets; he had thought
there was plenty of time to pick
up a few last-minute gifts between
trains.
Why, they just would be lost
without Jim, they were all saying
presently; sunny, careless Jim,
who always was the life of the
crowd And he would miss the
very best part Of Christmas with
them. 1t was just too bad this
had to happen. But Jim, dear old
Jim. always would be careless.
Then the telephone rang again,
and they found he would be with
them after all. A passenger plane
was leaving Chicago and he would
be home in two hours. The new
mode of travel would bring Jim in
plenty Of time to make their
Christmas reunion complete

Not the Same Fate for

ANl heavily against the rack. The

groaned.
Mrs. Christmas Card sighed loud

bend back my corners, and peer at
my picture, and read my lines, and
then lay me down again all askew," p"

That's nothing! How would you
like to have a little girl jam you
back in your envelope so that she

Several other cards spoke up.
They all complained of bad treat
ment.
And we'll all be thrown in the

Christmas Card. "Ho-hum :.

But next morning when both
Mr.. and Mrs. Christmas Card were
bought by the same person, and
later sent to the same family, and
not thrown into the waste basket
but set up on the mantel, they felt
very proud.
"But we are very remarkable
cards." they told each other, and
waited for the next person to say,
How perfectly lovely these are !

Great French Novelist
Lover of Good Coffee

To the many Americans who go
disconsolate in want of their usual
coffee when travelling in France 1t
may be a surprise to hear that a
famous Frenchman, the novelist
Honore de Balzac, was as fond Of
good coffee as they can be and ex-
tremely fastidious about the quality
of the grains and their percolating.
He always had three kinds Of
grains mixed-Bourbon Moka, Mar
tinica, and had to go to three diff
ferent grocers for them. He called
his own coffee pot his muse" and
drank gallons of the dark beverage
every day.
There he found the stimulus for
those excruciating spells Of inspira-
ton, which sometimes lasted 48
hours and left him as weak and
worn as any big fight. Another fad
Of his, which perhaps helped him
to survive such an unhealthy life.
was fruit. He reveled in its beauty
and adored it's freshness. He was
known to have eaten four pounds
of cherries at a time.

Double DUTY Tree

In the garden Of Stanley bay,
Auckland, New Zealand, there
stands an old lemon tree that pro-
Guces not only its rightful fruit
throughout the year but, in season,
fine sweet oranges as well At
times the tree has a good crop of
both fruits. Neither is tainted with
the pecuIiarities Of the other. A
close examination Of the tree gives
one no explanation Of the freak.
The secret is that an orange root
has been grated to that of a lemon
and the stem of the orange has
grown into that of the lemon, form
ing what appears to be one tree.

The Amnersand

The sign "&" is called the am
persand. The term is a corruption
of the expression "and per Sc and"
meaning land by itself is and"
which refers to the fact that the
sign when followed by a (&c)
means and so forth. More common
nowadays in this use is "etc.," the
abbreviation of the Latin words ct
cetera. The script ampersand, a
cross made with one stroke of the

the ampersand is most commonly
used in the abbreviation of firm
