, THE MOST POPULAR SAINT. In tbia and other countries St. Nicholas is identified with Santa Claus as ihe distributor of gifts to children on Christmas eve. Taking the whole calendar of saints, St. Nicholas is by far the most favored. If he is esteemed in the United States the long-since departed one is ierhaps more .highly regarded in Russia. Greece, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and other countries. And the passing of centuries doesn't seem to lessen hi3 popularity a hit. St. Nicholas has been in heaven these many years. It must be a thousand plu3 a half a. thousand more since the lovable figure left this world. Born in Asia Minor on December 6, in 345 or 332, Nicholas of Myra became a bishop in due time, but despite his name being on every tongue In Christendom for hundreds of Christmases; there is little historically certain about him. Yet St. Nicholas is -the patron of mariners, merchants, bakers, travelers and, best of all, children. In Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands they have the custom. of making hini the secret purveyor of gifts to children on December 6. Were there no written literature and the memory of only a few of the world's grand characters and its great events preserved for us, there would still be the name of St. Nicholas. He figure? much in literature. As early as the tenth century the traditionary legends of the saintly gentleman were set down by Metaphrastes, a Greek. And ever" since Nicholas has figured in story and song. ' ' A thousand years ago children loved and revered St. Nicholas just as lhey do today. A hundred years hence there will be no difference, nor a thousand years from now. As lonj? as the story of the Babe of Bethlehem is in the world, so will there be the legend of Nicholas, the beautiful saint of childhood.

SHE SPOILED HER DAUGHTER IN THE RAISING. Somewhere in the suburbs of New York live a man and wife, happily married, with one child. The husband has a job that brings a fairly good income and the wife keeps the house and takes care of the baby. Both are well bred. He was a Southern gentleman: she is the daughter of well-to-do parents, went to boarding school, is handsome and accomplished. She learned everything a girl should know but the one essential tiling, how to make a home. Her mother had her maid. The daughter's clothes were always ready and her mending done. Her youthful years were spent in having a good time and learning the art of being a lady. " She married, i'ow she must run a home. She doesn't know how. Her husband gives her $125 a month for the house. Because she never learned to cook and can't afford a cook, they must take their dinners out. Therefore Mr, Husband comes home, takes care of the baby while Mrs. Wife rushes half a mile to a boarding house, eats her dinner in a hurry and rushes back; then he hurries half a mile to the boarding house and gets his fag-end dinner. Her generous allowance is gone when the month is tip and it has bought no satisfaction. They have no "homey" meals together; they blame the baby they ought to blame her mother. Had this wife been brought up to be a woman instead of just a lady, she would take that thirty dollars they spend every month for boarding house dinners and get two meals a day for tw6 that would make the boarding house dinners look like a ten-cent lunch. But she doesn't know how. She doesn't study her job. She can't save her energy. The time and effort spent to get to the boarding house and back, the dressing, the annoyance and the worry would more than get the meal, and a better one, and clear it away. She doesn't want to be merely a lady, she wild rather be a woman; now it-s too late she's spoiled. But it's not altogether her fault. She wasn't trained right. She is a parlor ornament and not a thrifty wife. She can't manage. She can't plan. She can't save. She can just be sweet; but sweetness never run3 a home. It's good for dessert, but a home is made of beefsteak and potatoes and pies and puddings that "touch the spot," end the old saying is as true now as ever, that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and lucky the woman t who has found it out. Don't spoil your daughter in the raising. Teach her to look upon housekeeping as an art a science, worthy of a place in the school curriculum, and absolutely essential to the comfort and well-being of a home. If the wife is a woman, she 'will be a lady, but she can be a lady and only a big doll. You don't know what will happen to your daughter when you are dead and gone. ,

THIS MAY RESULT IN WAR. ' Not seeing any Japanese peril in a country of agriculturalists and small shop-keepers, we decided to go to the city billed as "the Chicago of Japan" where we must certainly see the thousands of plants that at a moment's notice could be turned into ammunition factories. But again we were disappointed. It was more like Muncie, Indiana. United Press dispatch. Reepectfully referred to the Muncie Press. v

LLOYD GEORGE in his speech before parliament quoted Abraham Lincoln quite a bit. This is very significant considering all the books of Wood row Wilson's ha could have quoted from.

TES. the railroads are grateful to the public for support accorded them in getthing ther rates raised. "It Is shown by the splendid manned in which they aro co-operating to prevent coal shortages.

CARRANZA has just executed another American citizen. Mavbe. if we cuul.I Pet some strony nation like China or Panama to enter a protest in our behalf the Mexican government would be more

careful.

NEW British ministr announces civil conscription of all males for country's work regardless of birth or rank. No doubt King: George is worrying over the job they are going to give him.

YES we are a city agriculturalist all right,. We used the snow plow this w eek, sowed some salt on the slippery back steps, mowed down the iccicles over the pantry window, reaped the crown off the coal pile, raked the clinkers out of the furnace, and furrowed our brow" contemplating a bill for three tons of Pocahantas nut.

SECRETARY LANSING may be right, but we don't believe him when he says we have been on the verge of war. Prices have been too high to suggest the peril of war. It is only where they have peace that things cost so much.

TEARS are not all the moisture that is being shed because of the bear market in stocks. Consider all the water being squeezed out of steel and Bethlehem ommon.
