T elebrafe Smother mas Day

Christmas has come to be the day of the children, the day of giving and receiving, the day on which human beings express the old command, "Love One Another," by exchanging appropriate gifts. While the Christmas spirit is not so much expressed by the value of the gift as by the spirit in which it is given, nevertheless useful and appropriate gifts, selected with care and proper consideration, can not fail to please the recipient The Hoosier store prides itself upon the unusual amount of useful and appropriate gift things it has been able to gather for its patrons this year. Although but two shopping days remain before Christmas, those who have not finished their Christmas shopping will be richer in helpful experience and purse by coming to see the beautiful Christmas things and the Hoosier Store.

Moore's Conscience Leigh Hunt relates In his writings the following:: "I remember, when I was showing Lord Byron and Moore my garden while in prison for publishing what was called a 'libel' on the prince rejrent. a smart shower came on. which Induced Moore to button up his coat and push on for the interior. He returned instantly. Mushing up to his eyes, having forgotten the lameness of hl3 friend. " 'How much better you behaved.' he Bald to me afterward, 'in not hastening to get out of the rain! I quite forgot for the moment whom I was walking with.' "I told him that the virtue was involuntary on my part, having been occupied iu conversation with his lordship, which he was not, and that to forget a man's lameness involved a compliment in It which the sufferer could not dislike. " 'True.' said he. 'but the devil of It was that I was forced to remember It by his not coming up. I could nr fn decency go on. and to return was Very awkward.' "This anxiety appealed to me very amiable."

Chicago. Dec. 21. S. A. Hutchinson, manager of the tourist department of the Chicago and North v.-estcrn and Union Pacific railroads, recently decided to inaugurate a "Honeymoon Special." The train was to start last night with a load of blushing maids and tonguetied bridegrooms. However, a story was printed about the train and the brides read it. Would they go through Omaha, Kansas City and other towns ; where the inhabitants use kodaks and snapshot everything in sight.' No. The brides saw themselves on the train and their pictures being distributed through the newspapers cf the i-ountry, as they stood on the rear platform of the observation car leaning upon their ' bridegroom's arm. while he tried to look comfortable. They couldn't stand that, so they wrote in at least twenty of them did i and said they would take other ' trains. ! Last night the widely advertised ! "Honeymoon Special" did not start. The newly married couples took train

No. 1. which left early in the evening, and were whirled away to the coast like ordinary travelers.

Mrs. Taff Says They Are Loveliest Outside America.

SAW NONE IN GAY PARIS.

New York, Dec. 21. "Nowhere on my entire trip did I meet any women approaching the caliber of the women of the United States until I reached Russia. It was in the empire of the Czar that I met lovely women lovers of home, family and the niceties of society that are so pleasant when contrasted with the Oriental type of womanhood." Thus spoke Mrs. T.tft in reference to thosj of her sex whom she met in her travels about the world. Although she was received by the Mikado and his wife, and spent a great deal of time in Manila and iu Germany, and even in "Gay" Paris, according to Mrs. Taft, the real ladies are those who live in the domain of the Czar.
