A Pica for Thoughtfulncss Shop Early "Por eevcral years an effort has bn made to lessen th? extra pressure) of work which durinsr the holiday eaaon falls on the salespeople in shop." says Margaret K. Sangster In th WOMAN'S IIOMU COMPANION for December. "On tho who deliver jcoodJ. on the nostofflce employes and In the express office the country through. Never have I seen young women so tired, haggard and dragged out aa are those who serve the public In the weeks preceding Christmas. The hours at that time are much longer than usual, and the endeavor Is to meet the demands of anxious and hurried customers who do not know what they want, and are bewildered amid the variety of tempting articles displayed. "Physically and mentally, the clerks, messengers, cashiers and every one concerned In mercantile pursuits In the holiday shopping season are worn to shreds. Much of their fatigue might bo prevented were buyers considerate, ' aad If the caution come too late for this year, will not those who seed It nake note for another season?

Mrs. Eddy

None of us except those who are of the faith will realize the full force of the death of Mrs. Eddy. Those who read the magazines will remember the life story of Mrs. Eddy which was of Itself the life of the church she founded. There arises a curious picture in the average mind of a highly strung, dominant woman; full of spirit rather than the f.esh. Undoubtedly she herself was a wonderful example of the force of mind over matter. Men who have studied philosophy, medical science, and made all the comparisons of the creed of manklnl, will discuss Christian Science for just a little while point out its like ;ess to this and that. The Philosopher will tell you to consult Marcus Aurelius, the doctor. phycho-thera-py; the theologian will go into the likeness and unllkeness of the books of Mrs. Eddy to the New Testament. Some one else will speak of the Emanuel movement. Dut after all what has built up the church of Christ Scientist, and (what has kept It together), did a widely separate thing form that which has made men believe in Christian Science? Mrs. Eddy a woman has built up the church organization and ruled it with an Iron hand going to court disciplining those who ventured to oppose her. She did this work with the spirit of a general in a religious war the same parallel can be found in Mihomet, in the leaders of the Mormon church In Dowie. A1 of these founded their faith and made the organization effective.

It need not be considered bosid. the mark to find the same spirit of absolution In such a man as Joe Ca nou or Aldrich in the party which has embraced the votes of half the men (and more than half) in the United States. Jt Is merely a study of organization plus and minus spirituality. Men prophesy the break-down of the Christian Science creed because of the death of Mrs. Eddy. The organization may perish aid the church may split into a thousand Bchisms. Indeed Mrs. Eddy's ron hand has stayed this time and time again. But Christian Science In so far as It is good, in so far as faith does men good, will live. It is indeed very much like the belief of the many intelligent followers of Mrs. Eddy. The body, the organization may fall into error. The spirit is the thing which is unquenchable.

Congress

So congress has opened again All the country is full of talk about what it will do and what it won't do. Newspapers, which obviously represent certain special interests are talking of what the Democratic party will do and what the Republican party will do as if, in short, that is what the Rest of Us are Interested In. There once was a tlme back there In the years that have passed when this would be talk of some intelligence. The Question which concerns the American of today, is what Mr. Morgan not Mr. Taft is going to do. What the railroads, the United States Steel corporation. Standard OH, Mr. Ryan's life Insurance companies and his American Tobacco company what they are going to do is of much more Interest. We hear it said there is too much business In politics isn't it possible that there is too much politics in business? The laws, we say, are made for the benefit of 80,000,000 or is it 90,000,000 people. The spectacle of "lawyers" paid thousands and ten thousansto "influence" legislation In congress is still illuminating though we are used to it A man who formerly represented this very district in congress and who ran for governorship of this State, is such an attorney. Perhaps it is unfair to criticize him for doing as a private citizen that which is customary. It is not the man but the system and its results that we are concerned with. If it were not that man It would be some other. But the thing which needs to be pointed out and to be said not once but many times, is that this system is not for the benefit of the people. If this were party government the fate of the nation would be settled In the party conventions. It is not as you know. If that were the case there would not be any lobbyists at Washington nor at the State house in Indianapolis. ' There may be a few partisans left but they are mighty few. Congress and the legislation is made up not of Republicans and Democrats, but of men who can be "handled" and those who can't. The ones who can't be handled, we call "Insurgents." We are told that they buck the party organization but in the interest of truth in the business organization of special privilege which they buck. It Is not a question of radicalism but of honesty though it seems to be thought radical to conduct public affairs as we insist private affairs should be managed!

This little session of congress will tell the story. This Is no prophecy. But just get the habit now of looking at things in that light no matter whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. By the time you have watched this thins six months in an intelligent and close manner your hobby your pastime your favorite winter indoor sports you will not express this thing In terms of party. After we have the matter of honesty and decency straightened out, we can go back to our party's and all that they used to mean if we haven't something better.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, J908, by Edwin A. Nye THE SHREWD GAMESTER. Ever play checkers! If so you know that the game consists In capturing your opponent's checkers. If you can break through hto line Into the "king row" your disk is crowned king of the Mosaic, may rove at will and "jumps" anything It gets next to. One way to win is to "block the game" by preventing any move ou the part of your opponent. The game of life in some particulars resembles the checkers game. Whether be is a careful or a reckless player, the average man nowadays moves cautiously, hoping la the competitive game to evade being Jumped. Some of the shrewd players get into the king row and become rovers or robber kings. They jump the common fellows right and left and continually cry, "It's your move!" But of all the players the devil is the shrewest player extant. There is no devil? Oh, yes. there is! He may not have the legendary tail and may lack the traditional horns or pitchfork, but he is Satan just the same. Call him spirit of erll, malign influence or what you will, lie is the devil. What an adept gamester he is! The young man who thinks he can "drink and let it alone" is playing checkers with the devil. How Satan must laugh in his sleeve at such a player, whose game is neither a deep one nor lengthy. The devil knows from the beginning that the contest, if the game goes on. is easy and the young man a sure loser. The young woman who flirts with strangers plays a risky game with his Satanic majesty a game in which she is scheduled to lose. She thinks she can outwit the devil, and he lets her think so. She has gone out of her way to meet one who can outplay her. The man who Is dishonest in business Is playing checkers with the king of imps. He will get left, because bis adversary knows every move of the game. The devil fears nothing, except that he who plays may quit too soon. Don't get into the devil's game. Shy devil! He will play with you,, laugh nt your jokes, weep at your sorrows and lie like the deviL He may let you win a few games But don't think he is too busy to play or has forgotten. He may even cry out that you are too smart for him. He may tell you that he is clumsy. But don't you believe it. The devil does not try to block your game, nor will he let you block it He wants to play you to the end and beat you. When Lucifer invites you to sit down to his simple and harmless game of checkers, why Tell him to go to hades, where he belongs. Fresh supply Mrs. Austins Famous Buckwheat Flour at all grocers. CLEMENCY SHOWN II WIFEJESERTER Released on Promise to Support His Mate Other Circuit Court News. After discovery of the serious results of wife desertion, Walter Meyer has promised the Wayne county authorities that he will go back to his wife and again support her to the best of his earning capacity, and on the strength of this promise the authorities have had the affidavit against him nollied. The charge was made on the complaint of his wife, Jessie Meyer, and Emma Wiggans, it being alleged in the affidavit that he deserted his wife on November 7. The man gave himself up, and was out on $500 recognizance until Tuesday. Arraigned Thursday. Salvatore de Gianni, the Italian found guilty of assault and battery with intent to commit manslaughter, will not be brought before Judge Fox of the criminal court for arraignment until Thursday. Unless a motion for a new trial is made by the counsel for the defendant, he probably will be sentenced to the Jeffersonville reformatory for two to fourteen years. He nearly cut off the head of Gaetano Ciane, in an Italian mix up on North Fourteenth street, on October 15. Dog Case Decided. When is a dog not a dog, a question which was involved in a motion to quash the affidavit against George Chamberlain, charged with malicious trespass, has been decided. Judge Fox sustained the motion. Chamberlain killed a dog belonging to Joe Smith and the latter filed the affidavit against Chamberlain. The attorney for the accused maintained that a dog is not a dog In the event, as in the case in question, the animal is not listed for taxation. Chamberlain killed the animal on June 11, after he became satisfied that the dog had. killed some of his stock. The case was taken to the circuit court on an appeal from the decision of Justice David Fouts of Fountain City. William Warren, colored, alleged to have assaulted Clara Sanders, colored, aged 15, entered a plea of not guilty. He was remanded back to Jail to await trial which will be held later in the month. The offense is said to have been committed at the driving park on November 28. 5 TO G I First Ecrt2es--Gc!d

POLITICS AND

The vote received by Hiram W. Johnson in the recent election is the largest ever cast for a governor of California. Democrats in Norfolk, V., have formed a Wood row Wilson Club to boom the governor-elect of New Jersey for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912. All signs point to the election of Charles F. Johnson, a lawyer of Waterville. to succeed Eugene Hale of Maine in the United States senate. Governor Stubbs of Kansas and Governor-elect Wilson of New Jersey are to be the chief speakers at the annual dinner of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association in Chicago on Dec. 12th. Colonel Moses C- Wetmore of St. Louis, who met an accidental death a few days ago. was probably the first man of wealth to lend support to William J. Bryan in his presidential ambitions. The Progressive Republican League of Michigan has been organized in Detroit for the purpose of conducting an organized campaign for the principles of the insurgent wing of the Republican party. Martin M. Littleton, Congressman-elect from the First New York district, has devised a scheme to establish throughout the country a system of labor agencies, one in each State, to furnish Information about the demand for labor in all parts of the country. The Independent Progressive Democratic Party of Brooklyn has been incorporated in New York State "to encourage and support legislation requiring direct primaries, to favor the election of United States senators by the popular vote and to eliminate bosslsm and corruption in politics." Among the newcomers in the Sixty-second Ctngress who will doubtless attract attention by reason of the fame or notoriety which they have already attained are Caleb Powers, the Kentuckian who was accused of complicity in the Goebel assassination; Martin W. Littleton, who defended Harry Thaw in his last trial; Victor Berger of Milwaukee, the first Socialist Congressman, and Henry George, Jr., the noted single tax advocate. John T. McGraw, who is a leading candidate for the seat of Nathan B. Scott in the United States senate, has long been prominent in politics in West Virginia. He has been a member of the Democratic National Committee for his State for fourteen years. During President Cleveland's second administration, he was collector of internal revenue in West Virginia. Twelve years ago he was an unsuccessful candidate for the senate. John Alden Thayer, who has been elected to Congress from the Third district of Massachusetts, is a son of Eli Thayer, who represented the same district in Congress half a century ago and who is known as the father of Oregon and the man who made Kansas a free State. The elder Thayer was one of the leaders of the Republican party in its earliest days, while John A. Thayer, his son, is allied with the Democratic party.

Frances Starr is Wonderful A ctress in Degrading Play

That Frances Starr is an artist of no mean ability was assured, when she appeared as Laura Murdock, in "ThfEasiest Way" at the Gennett Mon day evening. It Is seldom that a play, with no excuse for its creation holds the breathless, undivided attention of an audience, such as did the performance last evening, "it is only the wonderful work of a star like Frances Starr, supported by a cast of unusual talent, that makes the production one of the most talked of. which has appeared here this season. There is no excuse for such a play as "The Easiest way" ana mere is no excuse for any girl, even in New York City, that she should choose it. But the production only goes to show that a girl once navmg cnosen u, ana known the luxury, the ease and pleasures that money buy. has not the sheer will power to turn from it and lead a true, good life. The one lesson that comes home with the force of a blow, is that in the end, such a. womaan is cast off, forsaken and despised by both the man who won her love, ll SEND FOR

Frances Starr portrayed Laura Murlock, the girl, in a most wonderfully realistic manner. Laura Murdock, a pure young girl, who came to New York to enter upon a stage career, is persuaded to choose the "easiest way," by William Brookton, a wealthy broker. However, after two years of this life, she meets a "real man," as she terms him, a Westerner, who although aware of the past history of Laura, wishes to marry her, and she consents to leave Brookton, go to New York, secure an engagement and to "play fair," until he can come to marry her. The next scene shows her In a wretched boarding house starving and without even warm clothing and just about ready to give up every hope, after trying in vain to secure an engagement.

Just before the curtain drops on the anal scone, Laura is ' shown, griefcrazed, cast off by both lover and the broker, and after ordering her maid to bring her prettiest gown and bat, that she. may make a hit at Rectors, she chooses all that seems left for her, since she has not the courage to shoot herself "The Easiest Way."
