Defenders of Santa Claus.
It is refreshing to find the sturdy
youngsters of an lowa town determin
ed to staud np for their ancieut friend
—Santa Claus— and to forego the oth
er pleasures of the Christinastide en
tertainment if the old-time master of
the revels is not permitted to particip
ate. The children of the lowa Sunday
school in question, voted to strike and
to take no part or attend an entertain
ment on Christmas eve unless Santa
Claus was the chier performer, with
the same stunts as last year.
And who of the older folks, who
used to attend the Sabbatli school of
not so many years ago, before we got
new fangled ideas about the distribu
tion of gifts at the schools, when oc
cupying a prominent seat on the front
row, can forget the jingle of sleigh
bells behind the scenes. The beloved
pastor, who was addressing the Sab
batli school members at the time,stop
ped in the middle of a word to ex
claim : 44 My goodness! That must be
Santa Claus with his reindeer team."
And a moment the
snow off his boots and shaking it from
hisJiead in floury clouds, with a huge
pack slung over his shoulder and a
bundle of toys strapped round his
neck, good old Deacon Smith stumbl
ed upon the improvised stage. Every
body knew it was Deacon Smitli right
away. He wore the same funny clothes
he did the Christmas before, and the
same whiskers,only singed a bit where
they had collided with the candles on
the tree; And those same old familiar
jokes, the annual exchange of repartee
between the beloved pastor and Santa
Claus which the children had learned
to look for, never omitting to laugh
in the right place whether they saw
the point or not—how they stick |in
the memory of the old-timer who was
a boy in the glorious days before any
body tried to make little old men and
women out of the youngsters. A few
decades ago if anybody had suggested
excluding Santa Claus from the Christ
mas festival a commission would have
been appointed to inquire into his
sanity, or at the very least he would
have been warned by kind friends nev
er to make such a bad break again. A
Christmas entertainment without
Santa Claus would have been worse
than a turkeyless Thanksgiving or a
noiseless Fourth of July.

Bishop flcCabe Died Yesterday.
NEW YORK. Dec 19. »
Bishop Charles C. McCabe, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, died in
the New York hospital at 5:20 a. m.
today. Death was due to apoplexy,
with which the Bishop was stricken
December 11, while passing through
this city on his way to his home in
Philadelphia.
Mrs. McCabe and the Bishop's niece,
who have been with him almost con
stantly since he was stricken, wero at
the bedside when he passed away.
2 The night before he was stricken
Bishop McCabe had delivered his lec
ture,"The Sunny Side of Life in Lib
by Prison," at Torriugtou, Conn. Ac
companied by Dr. George P. Mains,
publishing agent of the Methodist
church, the bishop had reached the
West Twenty-Third street terminal of
the Pennsylvania railroad and was
about to step upon a ferry boat when
ho staggered and fell unconscious. He
was carried into the ferry house and
later was removed to the New York
hospital, where ho received treatment
as a private patient.
The indications of the twenty-four
hours following were that the shock
had been slight,and the patient's con
dition gave promise of a speedy re
covery. Just before the attack he had
walked briskly and carried a grip
weighted with books aud 4 papers with
out apparent fatigue.
» Bishop McCabe, however,early real
ized the seriousuess of his illness and
his first words upon returning to con
sciousness were:
2 "Pleaso notify my wife that I am
very ill,ami ask her to coineat once."
That night Mrs. McCabe, a niece
and the bishop's secretary arrived from
Philadelphia and have since remained
at the hospital.
{V The condition of the patient did not
change materially until early Satur
day last, when he lapsed into uncon
sciousness. From then on the Bishop
failed gradually and Monday the phy
sicians in atteudauce said that the out
come was no longer in doubt. $
Bishop McCabe was born at Athens,
Ohio, October 11, 1836. He entered the
Ohio conference of the Methodist
church in 1860 and two years
came chaplain of the 122 d Ohio lu
fautry. He was captured in the battle
of Winchester and spent four mouths
in Libby prison. His experiences as a
prisoner of war were later recounted
on the lecture platform. For more
thau thirty years he was pcpularly
known as Chaplain McCabe and the
title clung to him even after the gen
eral conference 1 } of the Methodist
church in 1896 made him a bishop. J*(J
Following the war he became pastor
of a church at Portsmouth, Ohio, and
later was associated as assistant "sec
retary of Churcn'Ex
tousiou.

STUDYING II
TYPES
By EDITH M. DOANB
CorvrtOtit, 190*. bv Buby rxn&aa
Everybody In Windsor Kails was
"hayln' It"
And because the sun Is a fickle mis
tress, first brooding over the hayfields
In a glory of caressing splendor, then
capriciously hiding herself behind the
heavy clouds of a sodden shower, and
also because It Is well known that
"hayln' weather" waits for no man, the
farmers tolled In the hayfields early
and late, pressing their families Into
service and laying eager hands on all
the outside laborers they could find.
It was at this time that Jim Holden
floated Into town from no one knew
where and hired out by the day. lie
was tall and lank and"the golderndest
worker I ever see," drawled Hiram
Sears admiringly as he stopped for a
moment's rest In tlie shade of a spread
ing oak.
Miss Levering, "the Hearses' summer
boarder," slowly lifted her eyes from
her book and glanced lazily over the
hayfleld to where a long, lean figure
skillfully pitched masses of fragrant
bay onto a waiting wagon. She nod
ded Indifferently and went back to her
reading. When she looked up again the
wagou had disappeared In the direction
of the big red barn, and the tall, tire
less figure, oblivious of her presence.
Industriously tossed the remaining hay
as he advanced steadily In her direc
tion.
So far ttie summer had been a dis
appointment to Miss Levering. She
had come to the little New England
village fresh from college and with
the most ardent Intentions of studying
nature and the natives—real human
people, not mere society manikins—at
first hand. Incidentally she proposed
to Introduce hitherto unknown breadth
find beauty Into their starved lives. To
a moneyed and spoiled young woman
defeat comes hard, and Miss Levering
did not yet admit that the "types" had
proved flatly tiresome and seemed per
"THAHK TOU, MISS," 118 SAID RESPECT
FULLY.
fectly satisfied with their lives as they
wore.
"Ah!" she said softly as the tall fig
ure loomed nearer. What possibilities
might lurk under that wiry exterlorl
She leaned forward.
"I beg your pardon, my good man,"
she called In clear, penetrating tones,
"but It must be very warm In the sun.
Wouldn't you like to rest awhile In the
shade?" Then, dismayed by her own
hardihood, Miss Levering blushed.
The man gasped and dropped his
fork. For a second he stared blankly
at the vision under the oak tree, s
dainty vision In cool muslin, all rose
bloom on a creamy ground. Then he
hastily pulled his hat from his head
and approached her, eying her with an
expression between admiration and ap
prehension as the meaning of her
words filtered through his brain.
"Thank you, miss," he said respect
fully, dropping In a warm, disjointed
heap under the spreading branches.
There was a twinkle In his eyes at
variance with the gravity of his long,
thin face. It was not customary for
the young ladles of Windsor Falls to
address the help as "my good man."
Miss Levering felt distinctly cheer
ful. "Haying Is hard work," she be
gan sympathetically.
"It Is," he admitted. "Hard of Itself
and hard because It leads to nothing
beyond Itself," he added, with a gleam
of Inspiration.
Miss lieverlng's eyes rewarded him
for his discrimination. She wondered
vaguely If he were not rather above
the average type; not that ho was
good looking—llls face was too long
and thin for that—but he seemed recep
tive. and he certainly wore his course
ctothes with an ease a city bred man
might have envied. It was a pity fhat
a man evidently fitted for better things
should ko to waste In this little village,
lie needed a wider horizon—a broader
outlook. Well, she would see what she
could do for him.
So the couple sat together under the
oak tree very often or wandered
through the shaded country lanes, and
he listened, always Intent and respect
ful, while she expounded her hopes and
alms for humanity In general and for
him in particular.
"I know I've no right," she said ear
nestly, "but you will forgive me, won't
you? Your life seems so petty, so nar
row, I want you to feel the stress of
life as men in the city feel It. The
struggle, the endeavor, the thrill of ac
complishment"—
And Ilolden agreed with her and
smiled upon her with a look behind the
twinkle In his eyes that made her come
near to forgetting her station In life
and her altruistic alms generally.
The sun wus near the western hills
one day before tne stage came Deal
ing Its quota of dally mall. That she
might not miss the glory of the sunset
Miss Levering took her letters and
magazines and turned up the road to
where from her vantage seat on a rock
she could see the splendor of the hills
outlined against the flaming sky.
Her letters were soon disposed of,
and she opened a magazine and Idly
turned the leaves, then suddenly sat
rigid—spellbound—while the letters on
the page before her burned themselves
Into Her consciousness.
"The critics," so ran the magazine,
"place J. Ilolden Morse's 'Under New
England Skies' among the six greatest
bnnka of tha venr. It Is in ltß OftU
large edition. Mr. Morse U at present
In New England, where he Is said to
be collecting material for another
novel," etc.. and underneath was the
autiior's photograph—a long, lean face,
with a humorous twinkle In the smil
ing eyes.
This, then, explained the vague re
semblance she had always felt, but
could never define. And she had tried
to broaden his outlook—to teach him.
All oblivious to the yellow splendor
of the glowing sunset. Miss Levering
dropped her head upon her arms and
cried.
She did not hear him till he dropped
on the rock beside her and picked up
the open book.
"Don't! Please don't!" he pleaded
contritely. "Forgive me! I never
dreamed you'd care—that way. I had
to have types for a new work I'm do
ing. I could get what I wanted so
much better this way. Surely you un
derstand ?
"As for yourself," his voice grew ten
der, "when I found you had the slight
est Interest In me I dared do nothing
to disturb It until It should take firmer
root."
"But you let me try to help yoe—to
teach you," she exclaimed, furious wltti
herself and hating him till she looked
up and met his eyes.
"And was I not an spt pupHT" he an
swered half seriously, half Jestingly.
Then as he bent and drew her closer:
"At all events I learned one lesson
pretty thoroughly," he said.
Brahma Was Not SorfaMa.
Anecdotes about Brahms show ttoe
composer to have been a somewhat
unamlable companion. Ills wit wa»
brilliant, but cruel, and Its direct ob
ject could rarely Join In the amusement
It created. One story begins with the
statement that as a performer Brahms
had an extremely hard touch. This
once led a musician who was accom
panying him on the cello to exclaim,
"I don't hear myself." "Ah," replied
Brahms, "you are a lucky fellow."
When he left the room after a lively
evening among friends he used to re
mark, "If there Is any one present
whose feelings I have not hurt, I trust
he will receive my bumble apology."
Brahms never could bring himself to
produce an opera. "If I composed one
which failed, I should certainly have a
second try," ho said to pressing friends,
"but I cannot make up my mind to the
first. To me the undertaking seems
much the same as marriage." The lat
ter Institution found no favor In his
eyes, and he lived an Isolated exist
ence, recognizing no kinsfolk.
THE TRADE RAt.
Odd Ways of This Peculiar Lttflo
California Hodent.
One of the oddest little animals In
existence Is the California wood rat,
better known as the "trade rat." It
owes the latter name to the fact that,
though It Is a great thief. It never steals
anything without putting something
else In Its plaee. It Is said that a paste
pot which had been left overnight In
the assay office of a sliver mice In that
state was found In the morning wltli
the oddest collection of rubbish. This
wai the work of trade rats. They had
stolen the paste and left In exchange a
piece of stick, a length of rope, some
odds and ends of wire and an unbroken
glass funnel. The object of the trade
rat In so scrupulously paying for what
he takes Is something of a mystery, but
these same rats certainly take the
greatest pleasure In the odds and ends
which they steal and collect.
In Lindsay's "Mind In Lower Ani
mals" a description Is given of a trade
rat's nest found In an unoccupied
house. The outside was composed en
tirely of iron spikes laid In perfect
symmetry, with the points outward.
Interlaced with the spikes were about
two dozen forks and spoons and three
large butcher knives. There were also
a large carving fork, knife and steel,
several plugs of tobacco, an old purse,
a quantity of small carpenters' tools,
Including several augers, and a watch,
of which the outsldo casing, the glass
and the works wei% all distributed
separately, so as to make the best
show possible.
The trade rat has Its South American
counterpart In the vlscacha, a pretty
little relative of the chinchilla, which
lives In families of twenty or thirty on
the pampas. Everything that takes Its
fancy and Is portable Is carried by the
vlscacha and piled in neat little heaps
at the mouth of Its burrow. If a ranch
man drops his watch or any similar
article he always searches the vlscacha
burows In the neighborhood and gen
erally finds his lost property.—Chicago

COLOR COMBINATIONS.
Dow They Were Cleverly Used la
Expoalng a Fraud,
In a large factory In which were em
ployed several hundred persons one of
the workmen In wielding his hammer
carelessly allowed It to slip from bis
hand. It flew halfway across the room
and struck a fellow workman In the
left eye. The man afterward averred
that his eye was blinded by the blo#»
although a careful examination failed
to reveal any injury, there being not a
scratch visible.
He brought a suit In the courts for
compensation for the loss of half of
his eyesight, and refused all ofTers of
compromise. Under the Jaw the owner
of the factory was responsible for au
Injury resulting from an accident of
this kind. •
The day of the trial arrived, and lo
open court an eminent oculist, retained
by the defense, examined the alleged
Injured member and gave It as his
opinion that it was as good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of
Ills inability to see with his left eye
the oculist proved him a perjurer and
satisfied the court and Jury of the fal
sity of his claim. He did It simply by
knowlpg that the colors green and red
combined make black.
He prepared a black card, on which
a few words were written in green ink.
Then the plalntlft was ordered to put
on a pair of spectacles with two differ
ent glasses, the one for the right eytf
being red, and the cue for the left eye
consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed to hiui, and he was
ordered to read the wrltiug on It
through the glasses.
This he did without hesitation, and
the cheat was at once exposed. Owing
to the effect whtetf the colored glass
must have had upon the green wrltiug
the sound light eye fitted with the red
glass could not possibly distinguish
the writing on the black surface of the
card, while the left eye, which he pre
tended was sightless, was the one with
which the reading had to be done.—

Hartley's horse was stepping slowly
down the country road, with an occa
sional toss of his high bred head when*
ever a fautUiar fly alighted on his
glossy coat. The reins lay inertly* In
the young doctor's hands, for his mind
was far afield. After a long sileuce
he turned to the girl beside hiui and
asked in a voice thut he could not keep
qtttte steady :
"Your answer Is final, then? You
won't marry me? And you—you don't
lore me?" he added, with a helpless
movement of his head. "Why, Eliza
beth, I can't realize it; I really can
not." And the blue eyes he turned on
her were full of tears.
"I—Edward," she began, "Edward, I
can't bear to hurt you, but"— And
her voice lost Itself In a quick sob.
The young man put a quivering hand
over the ones she had locked in her
lap.
"Don't cry, little Bess," he said
huskily. "It hurts me terribly to see
you. If you can't love me, you can't,
I suppose, and I'll have to bear It like
many another man. But I—well, I
loved you so much that It didn't seem
possible that you could help llklng>-me
—Just a little."
That this humble, suffering man
could be the same cold, unmoved per
son who had, only a short time slnoe,
with such reluctance and ill concealed
Impatience, left her for the bedsido of
a dying old woman seemed Incredible
to Elizabeth. But she clung to her de»
cislon to give him up, a course of ac
tion made Imperative by the dictates
of her reason, so she answered hesi
tatingly:
"I am BO sorry, Edward, but I
can't."

oughbred moving with nearly uolseless
steps, and as they were turning an
abrupt bend In the road half a mile

farther down a thin groan struck up
from the tall wayside weeds. Hadley
brought his horse to a standstill by a
violent Jerk.
"What's that?" he asked sharply.
"Llsteu!"
Again the sound was repeated—a
faint, piteous note of pain.
"It's a baby," declared Elizabeth,
trembling, "aud it's hurt.'"
Hadley was already poised between
the wheels of the runabout and in an
instant was striding through the long
grass, which he suddenly stooped to
part. After an appreciable space he
straightened up aud held out a hand
to Elizabeth, who had followed him,
and the girl's fingers closed tightly
over It as she leaned forward tp peer
Into the grass.
"Oh, Ned, a puppy!" she exclaimed,
relief and fresh pity blending in her
voice, for at their feet lay a poor little
morsel of a dog. Ills little black nose
was dry and bleached with pain, and
the soft curly white pf h! s hair,
through which the skin showed faintly
pink, was soiled by blood and dirt, and,
saddest of all, one tiny hind leg lay
shattered and limp In a pool of blood.
"Some brute has run over him and
chucked hliu ill the glitter to die,"
Hadley said between his teeth. "I
only wish I knew who It was."
In a moment he stooped and, slipping
his hands under the little creature,
raised him with a gentleness of move
ment which was a revelation to Eliza
beth and which filled her eyes with
sudden tears.
"I'll have to ask you to drive," said
the doctor as he got in the runabout
after her; "It would hurt cruelly to put
him down." And then as he saw the
anxious questioning of her eyes he an
swered: ''l think I can fix him up all
right. The leg is badly broken, but
he's so young 1 think It wili mend
quickly." He fell to watching the
quivering lioart bent against the tiuv
ribs. The tip of a pale little tongue
Just showed In the dFy mouth, and a
great brown ear fringed with black
drooped listlessly against the white
pulsing throat.
"Isn't he beautiful?" sighed the girl
"How like a little hurt child he looks!
What does make people so careless and
BO cruel?" As she turned her head
sorrowfully away her glance fell upon
a small boy stuuding by the roac&lde.
"Little boy," she called, stopping the
horse, "do you know whose dog this
la?"
A pair of stolid eyes were obediently
focused upon the puppy.
"Yep," he announced after a mo
ment's survey; "that's Sammy Casey's
Patsy Doodle. No; you can't find Sam

her Interest In the Caseys' movements
having been satisfied, Elizabeth sudden
ly touched the horse with the whip,
and lu a moment they had left the dis
cursive urchin for behind.
Once in Iladley's office the little dog
WHH deposited upon the table and his
broken leg bound up with deft and
tender fingers. With the intelligence
often vouchsafed his kind, Patsy
Doodle seemed content to He quite still
and relaxed In the atmosphere of sym
pathy. So motionless was his attitude
that tlijey thought he was sleeping, but

bloodshot with pain, opened immedi- I
atcly with an anxious expression, and !

qulrlngly. j
"See, Bess; he misses your touch,"
said Hadley, dropping the towel with
which he was drying his hands.
With a murmur of tenderness, Eliza
beth slipped her hand under the soft
little head, and after a snuggling move
ment of the nose, which was becoming
moist again. Patsy Doodle gave a little
breathing of content and, closing his
beautiful eyes, fell asleep, like a tired
child.
When the office had been restored to
Its former Immaculate order Hadley
wo Iked to the open window and stood
looking moodily out upon the summer
street, but when Elizabeth stirred In
her chair he turned quickly, for his
mind was centered only upon the oc
cupants of the office. She beckoned
him, and he came across at once, seat
ing himself on a corner of the table.
For a moment neither spoke; then
the girl lifted her face and said In A
tone that thrilled her companion}
"Ned, dear, I've done you a horrible
Injustice."
Hadley leaned forward suddenly.
"IIow?" he asked, with eager eyes.
Elizabeth caught a fluttering breath.
"You remember the night they brought
you the message that that old lady
was dying and how you hated togo?
Well, I thought your profession had
made yon cold and hard and unfeeling,
as it has so many men, and after you
had gone I—l decided that I couldn't
love a man like that"— Her voice
trailed off uncertainly.
The doctor's eyes darkonod, "That'll
another and the worst of the tricks
that miserable old woman has played
me!" he declared hotly. "Sweetheart"
—his eyes claimed her attention—"l
knew there wasn't a thing on earth
the matter with bor when they sept
for me. Some member of her family
had probably got up sufficient nerve
to put into execution a long cherished
plan or something of that sort. She'd
been dying regularly for the last two
years whenever things didn't goto
suit her. And to think she came so
near separating us!" He slipped his
hand under the one in which the little
dog's head lay. "I owe everything to
the intervention of Sammy Casey's
Patsy Poodle."--

There was strong family feeling In

"You see,, we all knew he'd been dis

"To run the gantlet" originated In
Germauy and traveled thence to Eng
land, finally Upcoming domesticated In
America. In both tho German and
English armies and navies about the
time of the settlement of America run
ning the gantlet was a punishment for
misdemeanor, the soldiers of a com
pany or regiment being placed In two
lines facing each oilier, each man arm
ed with a switch. The culprit ran be
tW9£i) the two files and received upon
his bare back the switches of his com
rades. An officer stood by to see that
tho punlshmect was properly enforced,
and any soldier who failed to do his
duty was himself liable to make the
Journey between the two files. The In
dlans along the coast of Virginia are
said to have observed this punishment
Inflicted upon some sailors of an Eug

punishment or torture was peculiar to

Bad Breath.
A well-known physician, who
undoubtedly knows, declares that
bad breath has broken off more
matches than bad temper.
# There are ardent
lovers who must
sometimes wish
their sweethearts
presented sweeter
mouths to be kissed.
Good toutti cannot
prevent bad breath
when the stomach is
disordered.
The best cure for
bad breath is a
cleansing out of the
body by yse of
Lane's Family
Medicine
the tonic laxative.
This is a herb medicine, sold in
25c. and 50c. packages by drug
gists and it is saving more doctor s
bills than any other medicine has
ever sav^d.
It cures headache, backache,
indigestion, constipation and skin
. diseases.
