Citizens of Richmond, Rich and Poor Alike, Had the Happiest Christmas in the City's History.

everything . Imaginable were distributed. Not only were there more children present, but there were more gifts Igtven, and. It is believed by Captain Deuter, the work this year was more successful and wider in its scope than jany which had heretofore been attempted. He does not know of a poor family In the city or a child which was unprovided for. Though there was Jio program in connection with the 'Christmas celebration of the Army, three hours were required to distribute the presents, despite the fact that five people, including Captain Deuter and wife and Lieut. Kirstein assisted by Mrs. Moore and Mr. Brown of Indianapolls were calling off names and banding out the presents. Rhoda Temple was decorated in a way appropriate to the season and at one end of the hall a huge Christmas tree, swaying with presents, and behind which was a wagon load or wo of other presents which could not be placed on the tree. Altogether th.re Were approximately 900 parcels lor distribution. 8tampede of Children. The temple was opened about 7 O'clock and with the opening of the jdoors there was a rush of young America, invitations in hand, and intent on having their first real taste of Christires Joys. As soon as the Captain called out the first name there was a Ihush which was unbroken for three 'hours, except for the calling of names, .the tread of little feet to the Christmas tree, and occasional cries of joy from the youngsters. It was the object of the Army to iglve useful gifts as well as toys. Some 'articles of clothing was included in every parcel. The assortment whs varied. Bach child got some toy and candy land fruit. As far as possible each girl was given a doll. The army feels deepfly indebted to the Dorcas society and lall other organizations which assisted tin any way in preparing for the entertainment. The work in preparation was extraordinarily large, Including as -It did not only collection of the gifts, hot taKRlng each one.

Report of the Christmas season finances was made by the Captain. The total contributions, by appeals, solicitations, street collections and the Eighth and Main street corner "Christmas pot" amounted to $504.86. The season's expenses were between $250 and $275, the exact amount not as yet .being known. Whatever balance is on ihand will be devoted to relief work to le undertaken this winter. The Christinas pot realized $175 for the army.

There is Economy In Providing Well For Animals on the Farm

BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. The farmer who has provided comfortable quarters for tue farm animals for the winter months cannot help feeling a considerable amount of satisfaction when the thermometer is paying an inexcusable amount i of attention to Miss Zero, or when the cold rains and snows make life miserable for all animate objects subjected to their fury. It certainly does seem good, and we can go to our bed of a cold stormy night and sleep in peace if all the stock is as well housed as we are. During the past few weeks we surely have had some very disagreeable weather mud? there has been no end to it whatever. Overshoes had to be tied on securely in order that the wearer could maintain his standing in the church. Even then, if some of the silent conversation which some of us carried on with ourselves could have been heard by the parson we would, no doubt, be doomed and given up as hone'ess cases that were sure to go to the place where mud is so scorchingly con?ilouous by its absence. Those who have been compelled to feed their hogs in the mud have been much impressed with the necessity of a rood feeding floor, and will probably get busy in that direction when opportunity affords. One of the boys who is attending Tndinna University said that while on his way home to spend the holiday vacation he saw large numbers of hogs wading around in the mud up to their shoulders. A rood feeding floor for the hogs is undoubtedly an economical arrangement. It will practically pay for itself in one season. Being well prepared for winter means much to any farmer. Every dairyman in this country knows what effect it has upon his milk, cream, or butter checks to have his herd exposed to the cold rains and snows and ehil!y nights. The fender knows that there Is a great saving of feed when he has the fattening stock well sheltered from the storms. Several years ago some experiments vere made at Purdue Experiment Station by Professor C. S. Plumb. He compared the effects of the proper stab'in? of cows with that of allowing them to be exposed to the fury of the e'ements. Six ordinary grade cows were divided into two lots of three cows each. Lot 1 was kept in the birn in stalls except for about one hour each day, when the weather was sunny and mild, when they were turned into the barn lot. In disagreeable weather, the cows ot this lot were turned out only to water ii nd returned at once to the stable. Lot 2 was turned into the yard each morning about eight o'clock without regard to the character of the weather fird left there until about four o'clock In the afternoon. The west side of the !ot was sheltered by a building, in a corner of which was erected a small open shed, in which was c manger for h-iy The grain for both iots was fed in the barn, but a noon feed of clover hay was given lot 2 in the yard. All of the cows of both lots were ":ept in a comfortable stable over nighl The conditions of shelter of 'ot 2 were better than many cows receive on ordinary farms even during the dav. These cows were not exposed o as much rough conditions as often occur? where stock is turned out ovei wind-swept fields. The experiment wa3 cirried on for days. Considering this experiment from a financial standpoint, including cost of food eaten, weight of milk produced nd pnimal weight lost or gained, the following results were obtained in favor of the sheltered lot: Saving in cost of feed eaten $4.23 Value of difference of milk secured, 161.1 lbs. at 15c per gallon. . 2.79 Value of 231 lbs. at 2c per lb.. . . 5.77 Amount saved by sheltering 3 cows for 48 days $12.79 Amount saved by sheltering one row for 48 days 4.26 Mr. Mills in his summary states: ''(I) Other thing being equal, dairy cows sheltered from inclement weather will eat less food than unsheltered ones. (2) Exposure to all torts of winter weather will cause milch cows to

THANK YOU! At this the completion of our third Christmas Season In Richmond, we wish to extend moat hearty THANK YOU" to our friends and patrons In Richmond,; Wayne and ether counties, and Western Ohio for not only making a Richmond's leading Drug 8tore, but making the year just closing the banner one in this store's history which by the way covers a period of some twenty years sines its establishment an accomplishment to which ws point with no little degree of pride. The fact that our business has grown far beyond our most sanguine expectations la attributable, we think, first, to constant and judicious newspaper and other publicity and secondly by backing up that publicity with honeat goods and prices on them that demand your patronage.

"If It comes from Conkey's If s right.'

give less milk than the same animals would if properly protected. (3) The live weight of unsheltered milch cows in winter will not be maintained as well as where they are sheltered." We have taken the foregoing, concerning the experiment, trom an article recently written by H. C. Mills, Dairy Fieldman, Purdue Station. There Is a satisfactory feeling connected with having plenty of good feed under shelter in a convenient place, too. Then when the bad days come it isn't necessary to expose ones self while caring for the stock. We believe by having things as convenient as possible on the disagreeable days we do the work a little bit better than we would if they were otherwise. The value of convenient feeding arrangements is not only noticed on the bad days, but it is also Been on other days as well. When we come in from the field, tired out, we will not do the chores quite as well if there is a lot of needless chasing about to do to get feed and bedding, etc. The hired man will also do his work better if he has every thing convenient so that he does not have to do an extra days work to get the chores done. There is considerable hord work connected with caring for the farm animals, especially during the winter months, yet there is a compensation other than the money one which takes away much of the tedium. In the morning when we go out to the barn to begin our morning chores we are greeted by some very apprecia

tive friends, and one forms an attachment for these friends through daily contact that is difficult to describe. Half way between the house and the barn we are met by the old "mamma" kityy and her two "baby" kitties. Their gentle meows tell us that they are glad to see us and that they are anxious for their breakfast of warm, fresh milk. They brush their arched backs against our legs and gently purr in anticipation. When we open the barn door there is a greeting chorus which surpasses the "Hallelujah" chorus. The horses soft whinny as they thrust their noses out across the mangers to extend to us their morning greeting and to tell us how hungry they are, and the gentle mewing of the cattle as they shift uneasily back and forth in their stalls swinging their hands and licking their mouths with their long pointed tongues is certainly sweet music for the farmer. We often think of how much the city man misses.

All AGED MAN DIED

J. Medearis, Centerville, Expires Today. (Palladium Special) CENTERVILLE, Ind., Dec. 26. Jefferson Medearis, aged 89 years, died this morning at three o'clock at his home in East Main street after a short illness. Mr. Medearis was stricken Friday evening with paralysis. He was the youngest member of a long lived family. A portion of his life had been spent in Richmond, but the most of his life was spent in this place and vicinity. He is survived by two daughters and four sons. He has a sister Nancy Crooks, aged 91 years living near Olive Hill, Indiana. She is the last surviving member of the Medearis family. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Burial will probably be held in the Centerville cemetery. Mr. Medearis was a brother of Fletcher Medearis, who died two years ago on his one hundredth birthday.

A Little Too Absentminded. Jimmy Ryan was very absentminded, and his friends loved to tell stories of his misadventures. You would hear one morning that Ryan had gone home the evening before, walked into the boarding house next bis own under the impression that he was home, had sat down at the table and had not aroused from his abstraction until some one had called his attention to the mistake. But the best story of all was put over the day after Ryan's wedding. This was an evening affair. "They drove away from the church," said the narrator, "and over to the new house that had been all fixed up for them. When they got to the door Ryan helps her out tenderly and leads her up to the door and talks to her a minute. Then he shakes bands with her and says. 'Well, good night. Lucy.' ' 'Good night?' says she inquiringly. " 'Yes,' says he, 'I guess it's time 1 was going home now.' " 'Why, Jimmy Ryan, you big it, she says, 'wake up. You live here now.' "

RAILWAY DETECTIVES. They Trace Those Who Steal or Destroy Property of the Road. The secret service is a hard game to tackle, but like all kinds of work. It has its easy jobs. One of them Is that of special agent for a railroad. The agent is supposed to trace those who steal or destroy railroad property. When he is notified that a trunk or other article of baggage is missing he finds out by its number from where it

' was sent and follows it on the books

to the last station where it has been checked. Then he notifies the police in the vicinity between the station where the baggage was last checked and the station where it should bare been checked. The police get busy, and probably the property is soon recovered and the thieves put In jail. The baggage Is then turned over to the special agent, who notifies the railroad official that he has recovered the stolen goods. If a freight car Is robbed the special agent pursues the same tactics. He finds out where the car was last sealed and the place where the car was reported as having its seal broken The police or constables in the country between the two points are notified, and if they fall to capture the robbers the railroad may never bear again of the stolen goods. Wherever destruction has occurred to railroad property it is usually police officers who trace and arrest those guilty. However, the special agent must be a keen judge of human nature and with sufficient tact to make himself popular with the police officers in his territory. Usually he is an old time detective and is well enough acquainted with detectives and police throughout the country to obtain results where an amateur would faiL

Consolation. Some Harvard students who had either a real or imaginary grievance against a taxicab chauffeur boarded his cab and rode all evening and part of the morning, winding up in front of the halls. They excused themselves to raise money enough to pay the bill and never came back. The next day the taxicab company was called up and the manager was asked, "Did you have some Harvard students use a cab all night?" "Yes." "Did they evade the bflir "Yes." "Did the chauffeur wait for four hours for them to come out and pay him?" "Yes." "And you were never paid?" "No." "Well," concluded the xoice, "isn't that too bad!" And the receiver was hung up.

THE JUDGE ERRED.

His Mistake Clearly Explained by the Old Colored Woman. The judge of the Juvenile court, leaninc forward in his chair, looked

searchingly from the discreet and !

very ragged piccaninny before his desk to the ample and solicitous form of the culprit's mother. "Why do you send him to the railroad yards to pick up coal?" demanded his honor. "You know it is against the law to send your child where he will be in jeopardy of his life." " 'Deed, jedge. I doesn't send im. I nebber has sent 'im, "deed" "Doesn't he bring home the coal?" interrupted the judge impatiently. "But, jedge, 1 whips im, jedge, ebery time he brings it. I whips de little rapscallion till he cayn't set. 'deed I does." Tho careful disciplinarian turned her broad, shiny countenance reprovingly upon her undisturbed offspring, but kept a conciliatory eye for the judge. "You burn the coal he brings, do you not?" persisted the judge. "Burns it burns it-cose Unburns it. "W'y, jedge. I has to git it out ob de way." "Why don't you send him back with it?" His honor smiled insinuatingly as he rasped out the question. "Send 'im back, jedge!" exclaimed the woman, throwing up her hands in a gesture of astonishment- "Send 'im back! Wy, jedge. ain't yo' jest done been told me I didn't oughter send my chile to no sech dange'some and jeopardoua place?" Youth's Companion.

Eleven men were arraigned before Mayor Zimmerman this morning in police court on charges of drunk, begging, petit larceny and assault and battery. The majority of them pleaded guilty, were fined and "went down" for various periods of time, ranging from eleven to thirty days. Carl King, arrested Saturday night while riding a bicycle on the sidewalk on South Ninth street, was arraigned on the charge of stealing the bicycle. He pleaded guilty but explained, "I was only insane with the desire to go joy riding, so I jumped on the bicycle and took a ride." Patrolman Little testified that King was riding the bicycle on the sidewalk and almost ran into the patrolman. King was first arrested for violating the law, which prohibits riding on walks, but later the charge was changed to petit larceny. He was fined $10 and costs and given 10 days in jail. Harry King, who was arraigned last week on the charge of stealing a keg of beer on July 26, from James L.. Brown, entered a plea of not guilty, but after the state had concluded its case, a postponement was asked until tomorrow morning when the defense will submit its evidence. A fine of $5 and costs and 5 days in the county jail was imposed upon John Ray and Rosco Broadus, two negroes who were charged with stealing six pool balls from the pool room operated by Charles Skillins. Ray pleaded guilty but Broadus enter a plea of not guilty. Patrolman Fee testified that when he made the arrest one of the men rolled one of the balls under a chair and when Broadus was searched two pool balls were found in his coat. Raytevens, a white person, charged with assault and battery and drunk was not given a hearing this morning owing to the fact that Jimmy Gee, a negro with whom he is alleged to have had an altercation had not been arrested. It is alleged that Stevens and Gee engaged in a Jeffries-John

son farce on North E street late Saturday night. On account ot the fact that the furlough granted F. M. Brigham, a Civil War veteran, by the Marion Soldiers Home, was about to expire, the charge of drunk was dismissed against him upon his promise to leave the city immediately. He was arrested Saturday evening on North Fifth street by Patrol Driver Wenger. Pleading guilty to the charge ot begging, James Wilson was fined $5 and costs. He was arrested at Sixth, and Main streets Saturday night. Tom Cannon, John Jones, Henry Meyers, and Abe Miller were arrested on charges of public intoxication and were each fined $1 and costs.
