IN TUN Chrishuns issue of Collier's, prinlou as a fore word, is an article oiititlocl "The Message of tho Star," with llorhort JKmuiimu ns tho mweuifed author. Tho Mail 'Prihuno reprinted the article, with proper credit, in Saturday's issue hut it didn't know any hotter then. From the "Medford Socialist," a campaign dodder issued and distributed free Sunday by the socialists' to slam and slander everyone in general and the Commercial elub in particular, appears the same article, word for word, with 13. "V. Ityjan, socialist, candidate for citv re corder, as accredited author. To ho .sure in Mr. lagan's article the word "socialism" takes the place of the "star of Bethlehem," but this is the only alteration and such a slight one! It is evident that Collier's and Mr. Kaufman are guilty of rank plagiarism, even though Collier's appeared a week before the Socialist. Thev havo stolon Air. login's literary product, even though Mr. Kaufman wrote it and Collier's printed it first. Here wo have another instance of those conspiracies by which capitalism is robbing and oppressing the work- ingmau! Here is another instance of rank injustice of the tainted capitalistic press, snatching the literary laurels of a great but .unknown author, simply because he is a boot black! Here is a worse plot to crush the cause of labor than that against the McNanmras, a striking instance of the triumph of the parasite over the wage slave! ".He who steals my purse, steals trash," but ho who steals another's ideas and literaiy product sometimes gets something far worse than trash. 'Still this does not justify Collier's for swiping M.r. Egan's article and printing it before Mr. TCgan wrote it. and we demand that the Mod- ford local call indignation meetings, and collect the spon duhix from their down-trodden brothel's to avenge this capitalistic insult! 1 DICKENS ON CHEISTMAS. T? ACIT holiday season the J- with their half-forgotten cholv As we grow older, we appreciate more and more the cheerful optimism of Charles Dickens. Listen to him you who sigh in vain for days on which the sun has forever set, and get an over new 'idea of tho Christmas festival, and dropyour vain regrets: " v "Therefore, as we grow older, let us be more thankful that the circle of our Christmas associations and of the lessons that the.v bring, expands! Let us welcome every one of them, and summon them to take their places by the unnstmas hearth. ""Welcome, old aspirations, glittering creatures of an ardent fancy, to your shelter underneath the holly! Vo know you, and have not outlived you j'ct. Welcome, old projects and old loves, however fleeting, to your nooks among the steadier lights that burn around us. Welcome. all that was ever real to our ness that made 3611 rtvil, thanks to Heaven! "Do Ave build no Christmas castles in the clouds now? Let oifr thoughts, fluttering like butterflies among these flowers, of children, bear witness! Before this bov thero stretches out a Future, brighter than we ever looked on in our old romantic time, but bright with honor and with truth. Around this little head on which the sunny curls lie heaped, the graces sport as prettily, as airily, as when there was no scythe within the reach or Tunc to shear away curls of our first-lovo. "Upon another girl's face near it placider but smiling bright a quiet and contented little face, we see Ilome fairly written. Shining from the word, as ray's shino from a star, wc sec how, when our graves are old, other hopes than ours are young, other heads than ours arc moved; how other' wa's arc smoothed; how other happiness blooms, ripens, and decays no, not decays, for other homes and other bands of children, not yet in being, nor for ages yet to be, arise, and bloom and ripen to the end of all! ' "Welcome, everything! Welcome, alike what has been, and what never was, and what we hope may be, to your shelter underneath the holly, to your places around the Christmas fire, where what is sits open-hearted! In yon der shadow do wc sec obtruding furtively upon the blaze, an enemy's face? By Christmas Day Ave do forgive him! If the injury he has done us may admit of such companion ship, let him come here and take his place. If othenvise, unhappily, let him go hence, assured that wc Avill never injure nor accuse him."

Instead of simply stating that tho specific gravity of slop distillate Is 0.9-100, wo might havo said that a gallon of slop dlstillato Is only 91 por cent as heavy as a gallon of water, A gallon of wator at maximum density wrelghs approximately 8.31 pounds and by multiplying this factor by tho figures In tho first column wo obtain tho weights por gallon of tho different oils us Indicated in the third column of tho table.
