WORK KOR HUMANITY THIS WEEK.
A great many of us profess to be christians in every sense of the word and yet we show by our actions, sometimes, that we have not a thorough understanding of the meaning of the word. This is especially true at Christmas time, the time of all times when we should show our appreciation of the word by doing our utmost to help those who serve our wants in the stores of the city. At this time of the year everyone is planning for the presents that must be bought, but too many put off purchasing until the last minute. And then, comes a rush of people to the stores fairly swamping the tired and worn clerks with orders. Make your purchases early this week. This statement is not made for the benefit of the merchant but for your benefit and for that of the clerks who work for he merchant. Your shopping wiil be much more satisfactory if you complete it before the late rush begins and you will show that you appreciate the over worked clerk by helping to relieve him or her by your share of the strain he or she must undergo during the last few days before Christmas. REMEMBER, THESE CLERKS WHO ARE WAITING TO SERVE YOU ARE HUMAN, AND IF YOU DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY AND DO YOUR SHARE TOWARDS RELIEVING THE CONGESTED SHOPPING OF THE LAST DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, YOU CAN PUT DOWN A CREDIT MARK FOR YOURSELF IN THE INTEREST OF HUMANITY.

A display of colors Monday would be t pretty and an effective tribute, to the jackies of the fleet, and it is probable that many Richmond people will show tueir patriotism by hanging out "Old Glory." It is not generally known that Rear Admiral James Dayton, who Is m command of the fleet now on the Pacific coast, is a Richmond man. He was born in a little house on South Fifth street, and at the age of seventeen years he was appointed from this congressional district to the naval academy.

CHRISTMAS TRAVEL LIGHTER THAU USUAL Ticket Agents for the Pennsylvania and Interurbans Say So. SOME REASONS ARE GIVENSAID TRAVELING MEN ARE CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR ABSENCE. WHllE OTHER TRAVEL IS EQUALLY AS LIGHT. The increased travel, which usnnlly comes with the approach ofxYuletide, has not materialized so far this year according to tlie reports of bothWpent George Houser of the Pennsylvania and Agem Martin Swisher of thi traction line. Instead, they say that the number of passengers arriving In, and leaving the city is less for December, than for any other month of the year. Traveling men are conspicuous by their absence. The unsettled condition of the markets, has caused many houses to remove their representatives temporarily from the road. Their absence is felt when hotel proprietors come to balance their debits and credits column, and when station agents figure up tlis receipts for the month. The receipts of the limited intenirban cars leaving for Indianapolis, hav fallen off two-thirds during the past two weeks. From this transportation officials infer that people are either going to buy their furs and jewelry and Teddy bears at home or are not going to purchase at all. The court of appeal at Lisbon. Portngal has decided tbat the hawking of Protestant Bibles in the streets does rot constitute the crime of disrespect to the state religion. " "
