Heart to Heart Talks By EDWIN A.WYB

Many yesterdays back we used to wonder what Old Saint Nick really looked like and on Christmas eve when "not a thing was stirring, not even a mouse" we used to secret ourselves behind grandfather's great, easy chair and anxiously peer into the fireplace, while the glow of the coals became dimmer and dimmer and until we could no longer repulse the persistent Sandman and would follow as his willing captive into a Dreamland of toy soldiers and hobb horses. But we never saw the patron saint of childhood because the shre-vd old chap would always delay his descent down the chimney until we had been led away by the Sandman. But today, long years away from that happy land of used-to-be, we have still retained our interest in Santa Claus. We no longer experience that desire to see what the old gentleman really looks llke.but we are sincerely interested in knowing just what kind of a saint he is; whether he Is only Interested in youngsters whose parents names are to be found in the social blue books; or whether he also loves those little ones whose parents names appear only in the city directories. If Saint Nick measures up to our ideal and merits the affection we have always held for him he is a Saint whose reindeer have been trained to know the routes which lead to the homes of the poor as well as to the rich, and we know he would be the kind of a Saint who would dip deeply Into his bag of childhood joys for those two tots who sent him the following letter through the Richmond post office: "Dear Santa Claus Will .you please come to our house if mama can't give you any money this time? We have saved our pennies for you. You can find them in our banks right behind the side door. Our papa is dead so we can't save much. Marvel wants an express wagon. I would like to have a buggy for my dolls and I wish you could bring some coal for thats what mama said she wanted. We will try to be good. We would like to have some candy nuts and oranges too please. We live at N. 6th street, Richmond, Ind. From Daisy and Marvel. Good buy."

LET THEM BE! It Is after supper. Little Walter and his baby sister. Muriel, are playing on the floor. Tou are trying to read the evening newspaper. They, carried away in the joy of their play, forget all else. They are unusually boisterous. Mother aska them to be quiet. They can't be quiet. That is, not for long. In a few minutes the childish laughter and screams of delight fill the house. The noise gets en your nerves. You voice your grouch. Nevertheless let them be! By and by th$y will be sleepy and tvill be sent to bed. Anyway Those precious kids of yours are in the full enjoyment of that which in its fullest measure will never come tc them again perfect freedom from all care and responsibility. By and by Walter will be a big boy, and before you know it a man's labors and struggles and temptations and sacrifices will be demanded of him. Let him enjoy to the full his heritage ol childhood. Give him his chance. You had yours, and the memory of it is the sweetest thing of your life. And Muriel? Sooner than you and mother dream of It her dresses will be lengthened. Soon the lessons of school life and thf lessons of life's school must worry the girl. And Some day sad day for you and motheryou must hold a cheerful face and give your little girl away to some other man! What will that future hold for her": Will she be n hnppy wife or no? Nw tusks ;ind worries, sorrows and bereavements maybe, will come. You shrink from the contemplation. Lot them be. Life is thickly strewn with thorns as well as roses you know full well. And no telling whore the footsteps of your lidbios some day "may lend. I.'t them phty. Later on the noises of joyful play will have ceased and the silences will eoine-the silences of suffering, of hardship, of disappointment, of be rea vement. They are happy now. Let them be!

An Anti-Trmling Provision. Intoxication is more common in America than any other country in the world, with the possible exception of Russia, and undoubtedly the "treating" system is greatly responsible for this state of affairs. Now that an important court decision has been handed down declaring an antitreating law constitutional the Palladium joins with the Ft. Wayne News in the sentiment that if the Proctor law is to be amended by the legislature during its coming session it might be an excellent move to tack on to it an anti-treating provision. The News comments on this subject as follows: Since Senator Fleming believes the Proctor law should be amended somewhat, purely in the interest of reform, it might be well for him to go a little further in his good work and tack on as an additional provision a duplicate of the anti-treating ordinance, recently declared valid by the supreme court of Washington state. Answering the argument that this ordinance was an invasion of the domain of "personal liberty," the court very properly held that such a plea was of no weight whatever. "In support of a practice which becomes recognized as a source of evil and a menace to public morality and good order, just as the right to engage in the liquor traffic is not an inherent right in any citizen, neither is it an inherent right in any citizen to treat another in a licensed saloon which is under the control of the police power being exercised by a municipality, as in this case. Whatever the right of the citizen may be elsewhere, he has no Inherent right even to buy liquor at such a place." Even the leaders of the liquor business will admit that in (his country the greatest evil is wrought by the absurd "treating habit" of our people, and it would 6eem that these men in self defense would seek to correct this abuse by any means that is offered. It is true that the liquor element is now in complete control in Indiana, yet the men managing its affairs should realize that their position is one of fortuitous circumstances rather than one vouchsafed them by a vote of public confidence and esteem. They have simply happened to be "hooked up right" for two or three campaigns and have profited through the battles waged over matters extraneous to the liquor business. In due time public attention will again be turned to them and their traffic, and their best and only assurance of escape from severe penalization will be a liquor business that is admittedly well regulated. This is not a present condition nor can it be come one under the present joke-crammed Proctor law. This statute should be amended to admit of many reforms and an ami-treating amendment would be a particularly popular one with all classes of people.

Once more our police force has dis

tinguished itself. Now, while we know the force is all right as numerous occasions will substantiate, yet we fall to

appreciate the farce pulled off a few

days go.

A crowd of fellows, not men, but

"kids" ranging from 12 to 17 years of age were rambling down one of the city's streets. Just released from the confining school room they were feeling good; displaying animal spirits

which all young men should have. A trifling argument ensued and in the over enthusiasm one "kid" was pushed off the sidewalk. A scuffle was inevitable.

However, just at this critical moment an officer of the law hove in

sight. Imbued with high feelings of

duty, order and peace the aforementioned swoops down on the "kids" and hails them to police court. Noble act. Now, in this age of the Y. M. C. A.

and kindred institutions aiming to teach our boys manliness, in this day of public play grounds, .physical directors and gobs of advice handed out by our medical men to produce a race of strong, verlle men full of stamnia and life, do you think it a good policy to discourage a "kids" scuffle and treat them as drunkards, thiefs or felons. Life itself i6 fight- As far as human record goeB man has fought. Man must stand for his principles It is the man that has the "punch" back of him that has done things. Now we don't mean in any way to sanction fighting but don't let us get so effiminate as to Jail a couple of "kids tor having a little scrap. F. 11. D.

Finance.

i Many words of most august sound I prove to be of quite commonplace nJ cestory when traced to their origins, t "Finance" is really only "settling up."

Literally, it is just "vudin!;" and was formerly used in that very simple sense la the English lanjtuajre. Theu It came to signify settling up with a creditor and acquired the special sense of ransom. Finest Baskets filled to order at Price's. l!-4t

MOVING PICTURES.

Why They Sometimes Show Wheels Turning the Wrong Way. Every one must have noticed that in moving pictures the wheels of carriages or automobiles often seem to be turning backward instead of forward. One puzzled person wrote to the Sci entiflc American asking why, and this is that paper's answer: In taking a moving picture there are

perhaps sixteen exposures made each j second. If now the spokes of the j

wheel of a carriage move with a speed so that the spokes are in the same position at each exposure, that wheel will seem to stand still In the picture

If the wheel is moving slower, then

the upokes will be seen farther backward in the successive views, and the wheel will seem to turn backward, while It will seem to turn forward when the spokes move fast enough to occupy positions further forward in each exposure. It la a matter of the interruption for the exposure and the motion of the wheel. If there are sixteen exposures and the wheel turns through the space between two spokes In one-sixteenth of a second the wheel would be tn the

same position at each successive ex j

HENRY C. FRICK. Henry Clay Frick, long prominent in

American financial and industrial af-1 fairs, was born in West Overton. Pa., December 10, 1S40. After completing his schooling he began his busiest ca- j reer as a clerk for his grandfather, a i flour merchant and jjistiller. At tu.nt ! time the coke industry was in its in- j fancy, but Mr. Frick, even with his limited business experience, saw that ' it possessed vast possibilities. He j borrowed some money from his grand- i father ami embarked in the business in a small way. The business pros- ! pered from the start and before many , years grew to be larger than all oth- j ers of its kind in the country combined. Before he was thirty years of i age, Mr. Frick was the largest indi- j vtdual coke operator in the world. In j lSt.9 he became connected with the j Carnegie Steel company and he was the central figure in the great strike

at Homestead in 1002. During the strike occurred one of the most exciting episodes in Mr. Frick's career when he was several times shot and

stabbed by an anarchist. Congratulations to:
