W m The Political Outlook By F. J. Kupfer. (Continued from last week.) Whenever the "goat" appears for slaughter to start the ball a rolling for theGovernorohip of this stato, wo will know more a bout what to say as to the final outcome. Prophesy ing on what the procedure will be when it cats to the Supremo Court is a question that is undofinable just now. Predictions and in dications aro merely words which can only bo construed as time, and he stands a very good chance of boating Senator Cham berlain at the election because next year ia going to be a re publican year. As to Mr. Simpson I opine that should ho make up his mind to run again for Governor, it would simply bo a walk-away. During his last campaign he made many friends, but he en torcd the race too lato. If the people throughout tho state only knew him as well as they do in his own county the other fellow would got so disgusted with him self that ho would forget all a bout having ran for an offico. Humors are flying thick and Found Dead in Bed meaningless and void. In study- fast among the "inner circles" ing this most intricate question 'of the wfso ones mat our Mayor .. . t i .11 il... ...! - I!.! It. .....! 1.1 f .L. 13 a possmic prize ringer lor wic job which our friend "Pat" Mc Arthur is holding down with all his might. Whother it is true or not that ho is trying to give "Pat" a drubbing has not as yet boon nnnouncod officially. Tho A. F. L. may sanction and en dorse his candidcay and also other patriotic organizations, hut tho mayor will have to got busy with squaring himself with those country guys that wore down at tho legislature last year, and at least ask their forgiveness. In tho meantime it will bo our business to run thid rumor down and suo if the mirpriso is a fact or Himnlv ono of thoso pat hands. In county politics there is an undercurront of unrest and very littlu said. "Premature" Hocms to bo tho slogan tho candidates use when being approached. othorwiso tho "olick-ot-al" at tho Court Houuu uro brushing their fino feathers to light into thu fray when tho opportune time arrives. Each candidate will bo bedecked in various colors of isms, issues he has done much money ho has saved tho taxpayer and many other inci dentals and for what ho stands and for what ho don't stand. So if the reader can beguile him self with patience until after the holidays, ho will then begin to soo the brightness of (ho stellar atars homo bright morning dime ing in tho "other" of tho polit ical firmament twinkling and heekoning as much us to Hay: l.ook at mo- what do you think that baffles all tho wise politi cians there must bo a way of set tling this dilemma. Why not ome enterprising citizen, or for that matter, some nupirant for Gubernatorial honors, make a proposition to tho Woman's Suffrage Parti and offer them, say five iv ten thousand dollars and have thfin call u special tes aion of the legislature to decide the matter, in their case, and t tin samo timo have the legis latur" pass on tho Governorship. The si.itc would not bo out any thing; the legislators would be r aid fioir salaries and tho Gover nor t )V : bcroliovod of the anx iety and tho women could go ahead and nominate candidates for offices. Tho uch talked of combina tion iMtweon Mr. Stan field and Mr. Simpson to control the destiniso of tho stato is ono of thnv noriodical "ncarc heads" that usually appears as "dope" by tho opposition proBS for the purposoof disrupting tho "mor al" of the unsophisticated voter. Whether oilhoroneof tho iinmed gentlemen will run for offico a gain, I don't believe they aro so befuddled as to think for a moment that llioy could lie both onds of tho state together in a knot that would choko the center into subiniusion. It's too silly to give credence to this journa listic yarn. Should Mr. Stanfiold again make IiIh announcement to throw ilia sombrero in tho senatorial ring at the uoxt primaries ho will have a much hotter chnnoc of winning than he did the last of mo?" Though she possessed thous ands of dollars, Mrs. Anna Ru castle, agsd 64, wealthy recluse of the Montavilla Bection, starv ed and froze to death. Her life less body was found Sunday in the littlo shack at 54 East 82nd street, which she called home. She had large sums of monoy on deposit in load banks. She own ed a fine, well built house in Montavilla. She was heir to a vast English estate. Yet sho sacrificed her life to the desire to amass a largo fortune. Mrs. Rucastlo owned a house at 54 East 82nd street which she rented. Sho lived in a wood shed in the rear of her property. Tho shack was built of cheap irrade lumber, with inch wide cracks between tho boards. Sho refused to buy wood or coal. A tiny oil stove served both for hoatinir and cooking. Tho ghack wa3 floorlcss. A rough bed, a table and a discurded chair were tho only furniture. The bed was scantily covered. It con tained only an old mattress and nsingioworn comforter. It was a sceno of poverty. It was a hovel whero hardship, suffering and lack of comfort wero writ ten in ovcry ono of the gapping cracks, on the cold dirt floor.and tho rude articles of furniture. Yet tho woman was rich. Cor tiliratos of deposit amounting to SlfiOO wero found in her purse. Tho Iioubo in front of tho rudo aback is worth Bovernl thou sands of dollars. It rents for .$20 a month. Tho woman's husband is in England, settling an estato which would have hrnuuht about $50,000. Sho re- , promise,roforms coivod allotments of $50 a mon n his offico, how from Europe. Thu aged woman i... i ...i was a rec use to tho oxtromc. mi nii'i rtu v I'll Liit- i - . . Sho visited none of her neigh bors. Eliorts to make acquain tance woro scorned. Mrs. Ru castlo was last seen alivo Thurs day. Neighbors noting her dis annearanco called tho police. Pa trolman Iiowarn kicked down the frail door. On tho rudo lied, covered by tho single comforter, lav tho yody.bluo with cold, wast ed and shriveled from lack of I food. Thu body was taken to tho morgue. --News.

Nobody with red blood in his veins can resist. Bankers keep on counting, blacksmiths keep on hammering, con dttctors keep on calling out streets, everyone keeps on work ing as though there were nothing in the nir no garlands of holly, no wistful little faces peering into shop windows. Then suddenly something happens usually just before Christmas eve. The banker leaves his desk, the blacksmith, the butcher, the candlestick maker leave their shops. They can't help themselves, they must hurry out ou the street; they nod to each other, they shake hands und say Merry Christmas. And then it is Christmas! But the children knew that long before, for Christmas is their own a precious birthright, the inheritance of two thousand years. Christmas is coming. It's coming to gladden the world's heart, to charm little children and make men smite. Toys, Books, Games. Some of the little Christmas things children expect may not be exactly useful but if you fail to get your small tot thoso toys he has learned to expect you are going to have to account for it. Our store is filled with all the littlo trinkets that make the child happy at Christmas; the cost is not much compared with the return. We have Auto Trucks, Wagons, Horses, Trains, Touring Cars, "Flivvers," Books, Games, Dolls, Teddy Bears, Rattles. Blankets A blanket of snow sounds nice and poetical but a blank et of cloth sounds better right now. We have the large sizes and smaller sizes; have them all cotton, part cotton and wool; they are warm; if you ever needed them you do now. Silk Petticoats Gladden the heart of your wife with a new Silk Petti coat; we have a new consign ment of the newest colors and cuts.
