M A S S T O I E S With the passing of the holiday season one has a chance to get down and calmly think it all over, to dwell upon, benefits received and favors be stowed, to wonder if all the worry and fussing, the mental and financial strain really have their compensa ion. The question will force itself upon one whether in this aftermath of Christmas cheer one's feelings are of joy and pleasure or mixed with re lief and regret. It is when balancing up one's bank account and along with that arrang ing, the debit and credit sides of Christmas gifts that one begins to question the wisdom of the old-time custom. Every gift that carries with it a spirit of genuine good cheer is re ceived in the same glad way in which it was sent, but for each of these there is a balancing influence accompanying the gift presented from a sense of duty which robs it of its holiday value, even to the lessening of whatever intrinsic worth it may possess. There is no denying that the spirit in which presents are given will out, aud isn't this greatly responsible for one's real Christmas happiness? Let us ask what are the joys and the burdens of holiday giving; let us appeal to humorists and serious minded persons, to a bachelor and a mother of a large family, to the socie ty, girl and the foolish young person, to a flat dweller and a country house wife and hear what they have to say. CHARES BATTELL LOOMIS. "Hello, hello! "Yes, this is Mr. Loomis. "No, not Charles F. Lummis. You get him on the Los Angeles wire.- "No, not C. B. Lewis, either. That's M. Quad.' I'm Charles Battell Loomis, with the accent on the tell. "What's that? Well, don't you know anything about the matter. I prefer to say nothing until I have seen my lawyer. What's that? "Oh, you want to know what I think about the joy and burden of Christmas presents, do you? What's that? Bangs,Townsend and others will contribute? Well, if I talk over the telephone I won't know what they have said and I must say the same thing. It's so hard to say anything new about Christmas. "Of course, it's a joy to get presents and a burden to have to get them. "What's that? It won't look well in print? But you misunderstand me. I say it is a joy to get presents of 1 others but a burden to have to get them to receive them, in other words because people don't know what' you want. "Won't that look well in print, eith er?" (No, no, Central. We've only just begun. I'm telling New York what I think about Christmas.) "Well, it's only a question of money. I sympathized with that millionaire who said it was so hard to . get clean thousand bills to put in stockings. I've found the same difficulty, although I'm not so particular as to their clean liness. As a people we are used to dirty money, and it was after the pas sage of the greenback act that the ex pression 'filthy lucre' came into use. "Hello, hello! Thought maybe you'd gone. If a man is flush at Christmas there Is nothing except his own heart to hinder his having the best day in the year. He can be his own feairy story and make people happy just the way they do in books. 'What's that? Well, that's rather a personal question. I'm never as hap py as I'd like to be at Christmas. "Have I any heart trouble? Hello, v hello! Is that you? The wires were crossed, I guess. (In a minute, Cen tral.) "If a man feels that Christmas is a burden he'd better drop out of the game. No use. playing a thing you don't, like unless you're a pianist on a ; salary. ."No, I can't think of anything more. , Oh, that's all right. No trouble at all. hope you had a merry Christmas. (Yes, you too, Central.) Thanks. Good-by." EDWARD W. TOWNSEND. 'When you ask my views on the There's Health in Lemon . ; j Various experiments by em . inent scientists have proven ' the great value of lemons in destroying the' germs of ty "phoid and other fevers.

MOZLEY'S LEMON HOT PROPS -CURE ALL COUGHS AND ; COLDS. 5 r Mozley's Lemon Elixir . Made of Lemons Whiskey and PERMANENTLY CURED BY "ORRINE," A SAFE. SURE AND HARMLESS SPECIFIC Physicians pronounce drunkenness a disease of the nervous system, creating- a morbid craYinjj for a stimulant. Continued indulgence in whiskey, beer or wine eats away the stomach lining- and stupefies the digestive organs, thus destroying- the digestion and ruining the health. No "will power" can heal the inflamed stomach membranes. "ORRINE" permanently removes the craving for liquor by acting directly on the affected nerves, restoring the stomach and digestive organs to normal conditions, improving the appetite and restoring the health. NO sanitarium treatment necessary ; " ORRINE" ian be taken at your own home without publicity. Can be given secretly if desired. CURE GUARANTEED OR MONEY REFUNDED. Mrs. E. Wycliff. New York City, writes: "'ORRINE' cured my husband, who was a steady drunkard for many years. He now has no desire for stimulants, his health Is good and he is fully restored to manhood. He used only five boxes of 'ORRINE.' " Mrs. W. L. D., Helena, Mont., writes: "I have waited one yeai before writing you of the permanent cure of my son. He took sanitarium treatment, as,. well as other ad artised cures, but thev all failed until we gave him 'ORRINE.' 'He is now fully re stored to health and has no desire for drink.'' Mr. A. E. L., Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I was born with a love of whiskey and drank it phiiosopny of Christmas giving," said J Edward W. Townsend, " I am remind-1 aea or ur. jonnsons lamous teat of I memory in repeating a whole chapter from "The Natural History of Ice land" 'there are no snakes in Ice land.' There is no philosophy in our modern scheme of Christmas present giving. Nor can one apply philosophy as a cure of the evil. I've found philos ophy a great comfort when I've stub bed my toe, received a rejected manu script or sclaffed with my brassie when if I hadn't I would have won the hole. We who have but modest bank accounts and at Christmas time find them stripped until they became immodest through very "scantiness abandon philosophy and merely do our best to remember how wicked it is to use profane language. A wit of the last century solved the question, but his solution was not accepted, mores the pity! He proposed that each person in every group of present givers should buy for him or herself a needed, useful articdle and pass .it around the group as a present until it returned to the buyer. Thus each would have given a present to, and received one from each of the others, and in the end have the one needed article. "No one would have been put to any but ordinary expense, yet each would have given and received as many presents as there were persons in the group. It is too bad that a seri ous writer instead of a wit did not make the suggestion. Yet is it not likely that we grumble only for the satisfaction of doing so? I once made a calculation that four bookmarks, three leaf cutters, seven fountain pens and two match boxes one too large and one too small for useJwhose total value was $27, had cost me $280. But I grinned as I made the calcula tion. A broad, wholesome grin is easily worth the difference between the sums named, is it not? But there, I have found a comforting philosophy to apply to the evil after all." BY A MOTHER. Dictated by One of Society's Leaders, the Mother of Six Children, to Her Private Secretary. To bring up one's children with the belief in Christmas joy taxes to the utmost the physical and mental ca pacity of the modern fashionable mother, who questions whether President Roosevelt's race suicide theory was not first thought of by the President in midsummer 'and not at Christmas time. The fashionable family much at heart, and plans the social career of each and every one of her children with great care. At Christmas time ussy's little friends must each receive some gift; John's friends are equally important, and so on down to the youngest of the fam ily. Then there must needs be the ju diciously chosen gifts for the parents whose positions insures their being rathionable entertainers when the children are of an age to make their del.ut in society. The gifts of these individuals must be coatly and must also be aptly chosen. Those to wealthy relatives from each child must be judicfiously chosen guts to indicate the deep affection felt ty each child for each relative. There are gifts to various fashionable elm "table societies with which each child is affiliated, and so on through a list numbering hundreds of indi viduals and representing many hun dreds of dollars. The time and thought required for such;, a task wclIi1 tax the cleverest mathemati cians, and it is to be wondened at that the beginning of the New Year inva riably finds such a lot of nervous indi viduals among society leaders'? The question of Christmas enter tainments has not been touched upon, the mere item of Christmas gifts be ing sufficient to make the Christmas season a time to be dreaded in propor tion to the unmber of children in a family. A SOCIETY GIRL'S VIEWS. "Sometimes I think I won't give any Christmas presents at all," a pretty society girl. "It seems so ab surd to rush one's self almost to death for two or three weeks before the day which should mean 'Peace on earth,' and to feel all the time that it as done from a sense of duty, an effort to hold up your own end at least, and go your friends better if you can. How much nicer and more comfortable it would be if we could just send remembran ces to the few one really wants to re member and not be bothered with this one because she gave a charming tea and invited you or to that one be cause she will be given one and vou , want to be invited. vhen you remembier all your I school and those of ycur childhood I -w ith appropriate gifts, then go down It list cf family and relatives, then -eh the servants and the servants i f your m-ost intimate , friends where you visit so often, it means that you have to work like a slave for days to find suitable gifts for them all, and if it is a game of give and take you can never feel repaid for all the time and worry you are put' to. "For . my part, I wish this giving could be limited to. those of whom we leer IHIabit I for thirty-two years. It finally brought me to the gutter, homeless and friendless. I was powerless to resist the craving and would steal and lie to get whiskey Four boxes of 'ORRINE' cured me of all desire and I now hate the smell of liquor." Price $i per box, 6 boxes for $5.

A SUBURBANITE. &o you think because I live in the country that the holiday season is one ot comparative peace and enjoyment," sam ' tne suburbanite. ' That shows how - much you are mistaken, and proves that you don't know anvthina: about the way we celebrate the day. Just because we don't have flats, with DeiiDoys and elevator boys and maids ana cnels to be remembered with sub stantial gifts, you needn't imagine that the matter of buying is in any way simplified. There's the . -grocer's nice young boy instead of the janitor, and the butcher and the man who cuts jour lawn in summer and tends the furnace in winter all expecting pres ents from you, and not only do you have to give each of them something, but you probably know their families, and, of course, each member expects some little token from you. There's the stationmaster. too, who can make life a joy or burden to you during the rest of the year, and you feel that he is entitled to your first consideration after your immediate family. All this means days of travel to town and late trains back at night, until you silently wish you could hide in some unknown corner cf the world until the holidays are over and then come forth to the pleasures of life again. '.'But then, of course, ycu have many joys at this season, and it's a good thing that they come after all the hard wo:k os a sort of reward, else you wouldn't feel like trying to stand the strain of the holiday shopping." JOHN KENDRICK BANGS. My philosophy of Christmas giving does not alter with a change of date. If anything I am happier about the situation in January than I am when the festivities of the Yule are ap proaching their height. I suppose it is something like one's feeling in regard to a surgican operation. You are uneasy about it at first, and as the supreme moment approaches the ecstacy you feel over the-approacli-ing relief from your difficulties is somewhat marred by an apprehension that the thing will not be pulled off as favorably as you had hoped, and then when it is all over and the danger has passed and everything has gone off nicely you are happy and secure and are so glad you have been through it that you would not give up the exper ience for a farm. Personally, as Christmas -approaches I find its exactions troublesome, but when they have been met and every body seems satisfied and another suc cessful celebration of a beautiful fes tival has been added to the list; the compensations as compared to the trials are thousandfold. As far as the reckoning that the postum brings with the first mail of the new year, even this has its bright side. The Christmas bills, in a sense the later millstones that remind us of our generosity. Mr. Carnagie doubtless experiences a thrill of pleasure as he pases by beautiful library that he has built to think that it is to his generosity the public owes the splendid pile. That ed ifice is reminder to him of his benefac tion. So to the less favored of fortune does a pile of unpaid bills for Christ mas gifts delivered bring with it a sense of joy that somewhere are happy persons who have benefitted by the sacrifices of which these bills are the outward and visible sign. This is a kind of pleasure, however, in the en joyment of which we should not linger, for it is only the very selfish man who wishes to be constantly reminded of his deeds of kindness, as he srely- will bo unless those bills are paid. . I should say on general principles that the wisest and in fact, most gen erous giver is he who so gives at Christmas time that the certain recur icnces of the new year, will bring with it no anxieties whatsoever. He who gives at the expense of his peace of mind gives meanly. To give lavishly at the expense of one creditors is the act of a snob or something worse. To give what one reasonably can, small in material value, perhaps, but rish in the spirit of good will, that is to be truly generous, and is sure to leave one as IJiil u S feel the exquisite thrill of motherhood with indescribable dre,ad and fear.

Om. happy at New Year's as he should have been when the sounds of his children s voices broke merrily upon his ear at Christmas dawn. The Success of Dr. Curry. The Herald is informed that the Feabody, education board will in the near future meet and elect a successor to the late Dr. J. L. M. Curry, who was agent for this board, having in charge the disbursement of the Peabody edu cation fund for the aid of Southern schools. The task of filling the place of Dr. Curry is a hard one if ont indeed an impossible one. There is no man in the South today, or in the North who has just the qualifications that be longed to Dr. Curry. There is no man Whose varied, experiences as a politi cian, a diplomat, an administrator for so many years of a great trust, added to a natural gift as a thinker an orator and a writer "are such as to enable him to take the exact place filled by Dr. Curry. Dr. Curry had a personality of his own, and to a large extent a work of his own which none but he could perform. Neveitheless some one is to be appointed his successor. It should be one Who will do not necessarily what his predecessor did but what needs to be done under circumstances and conditions which present them selves to the present generation. It should be one well acquainted with educational conditions in the South, one thoroughly imbued with the highest and noblest ideals, cou pled with an ability to exhort, to ad minister to lead in all affairs touch ing public education, the great ques tion in America today. It should be one capable of making for himself a place of his own, yet without seeking to do this, giving himself wholly and unselfishly to the cause of education among the Southern people. We have in mind a man we believe to be such a man. He has alrea'dy been promi nently mentioned for the place, and we believe his appointment could scarcely be improved on. This is Dr. Chas. D. Mclver, now president of the North Carolina Normal and Industrial College for Girls Spartanburg Herald. Strikes Us. It strikes us that the fight on Wood savors of persecution. There was a brilliant young officer, who when the apple of opportunity was presented, as is said to be the case only once in a man's life-time, grasped it. Possibly his friendship for Roosevelt got him a s-tart, but well has he sustained him self. Being a physician, naturally he was chosen for the governorship at Santiago, and Teddy having swallowed all the Spaniards on top of San Juan Hill, his associate cleaned up their debris and filth in the streets of the city and made Sautiago healthy. Suc cess is won by doing what is presented t odo in the best manner possible. Good work at SantiagoMed to promotion to Havana and in all, so far as we can see. Wood distinguished himselL The work speaks for itself. There hasn't been any yellow fever in this country ior severai years. This is because of a clean Cuba. Maybe he did wink at gambling. Who can change the nature of men? The Spanish-American will buy lottery tickets and gamble, fight cocka and watch bull fights. You can't stop him. Good government is the least government. McKinley first recognized Wood's services and promoted him. It was an immense situation to the young men in tie army to see good services rewarded. Uusually mediocrity travels upward as fast as genius, arid consequently genius finds other avenues of employment. Perhaps a few West Point fossils have been jumped. We think it a good thing that such is true. The army will be all the better if men are rewarded for dis tinguished services. St. Louis Repub lic. Chicago Theatre Fire. (By Associated Press.) . Chicago, Jan. 8. :The investigation of the Iroquois Theatre horror contin ued tpday. Robert Murray, the sta tionary engineer of the theatre, de clared that the stand-pipe on the stage but no hose was attached to it, and nobody was ever instructed how to use it. The only way an alarm could be sent to the lire department was by telephone, or going three blocks to the fire station. Ruth Mitchell, a school girl, said that she and other members of her party noticed sparks dropping from above the stage, and started to go out, but a man in the front row said he would knock their heads off if they stirred. The girls sat down and remained until the , flames swept over the auditorium, when they rushed to the north side of the building, and crawled on the fire escape and dropped to the ground. Bids for Stores. (By Associated Press.) Manila, Jan. 8. Japanese govern ment through local agents calls for bids of enormous quantities of subsis tence stores to be in by January 30.

It beats on an average of seventy times a minute from the minute of birth to the minute of death. Every half minute or every thirty-second beat the whole of the blood in the body is pumped through the heart, so that the dual heart moves about six tons of blood in each twenty-four hours. On the purity of that blood health depends. On the strength of the heart denends the strength of the bod v. The question then is, how blood pure and the heart strong ? That question answers itself when we know what is the common cause of the blood's impurity, and whence arises the tendency to heart "trouble." What is blood? Blood is only digested food. In proportion as food is nutritious the blood is rich. In pro portion as the food is properly digested the blood is pure. Indigested food clogs and corrupts the blood, and indigestion often precedes or attends the first symptoms of heart "trouble." The first necessity to the production of pure blood is that the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition shall be in the perfect working order of sound health, so that the food received into the stomach is properly digested and perfectly assimi lated, for the stomach is the vital center of the body. No man is stronger than his stomach, be cause physical strength is derived from food di gested and assimilated. Deaths ascribed to weak heart and "heart failure," therefore, are more properly ascribed to weak stomach and stomach failure. It is this dependence of the heart upon the stomach which explains the cures of K heart trouble " effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine cures diseases of the stomach and other organs II FfiEE HELP TO SICK AND WEAK Simply Write Dr. Hathaway, the Benowned Southern Specialist, Just How You Suffer and He Will Tell You What To Do To Quickly Cure Yourself at .

World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. T. "It is with the greatest pleasure that I add my testimony to your list of sufferers who have been helped the same as I have been," writes Mre. Wm. P. Young, of Trenton, Ontario. "Iast January I took a very bad spell and was for ten days and nights suffering pains in my head, neck and jaws, and had faint spells and heart trouble. Was taking five different kinds of medicine from the doctor all at one time. Could not do my housework at all, and stomach troubled me so I could not eat anything without having an uneasy feeling. One day I thought I would give your medicine a trial. I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and I feel better now than for years. Can do all the work for seven in family, but before using your medicines I could hardly do any work and could not be left alone, I had been such a sufferer for the last six years. I truly believe that if every poor sufferer would give Dr. Pierce's medicines a fair .trial there would not be so many invalids."

"About eighteen months ago an abscess formed in the groin which we had lanced, and it con tinued to discharge for eight months. We were told an oper ation would be necessary to stop it. Acting on the advice of friends we began giving our child Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The discharge stopped before he had taken two bottles. He has taken eight bottles and his health now is good." . . "For about nine years I suffered with ulcers on my ankle and one on my instep which at times would pain so severely I could not sleep night or day, ".writes Mrs. J. T. Sefton, of Yatesboro, Pa. "A friend advised me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines, which I did, and found great relief. Had only taken one bottle when I could do a hard day's work and could lie down and rest at night without pain. The ulcers are entirely well and have better health than I have had for about twelve years.
