O AITU TUP OAST AND TEA J --4 GOOD EVENING. 0 HOW THEY GET THE BUNS. Morris Drown, crippled urchin of. N'ew York city, smashed the window of a baker's shop and was arrested. Morris, who is fourteen years old. was sent by his mother to buy buns. At' the shop be met another boy who was on a like errand. Morris saw that the other boy got one more bun for his money, whereupon he protest ed. There was a debate with the baker, and Morris was thrown out. pursued by the baker's dog. The smashed window was the se quel. "De udder kid. he got more buns 'n tne and got more sugar on his buns."' was the plea .Morris made to the judge. Which was a good plea. The newspaper account does not gi- the outcome of the matter, but the In cident and the boy's plea are sug gestlve. The boy voiced the American flea of a "square deal." It Is not fair that one loy or one citlren should ppt more buns and more sugar on hl buns than another. One of the pressing problems Is the equitable distribution of wealth. We say the American Idpa It thit of "equal rights for all. special privileges to none." and yet we know that cer tain special Interests have been given undue advantages. These Interests have had more bun's and more sugar on their buns than they are entitled to. Therefore the righteous protests of the Morris Browns. When the little cripple's case was called In the police court the baker was rei resented byapaidattorney.bat Morris had to depend on the mercy of the court. And here also the analogy holds. The special Interests that secure spe cial privileges extra buns are repre sented in the courts by high priced I-iwyers. The people elect young at torneys who are Just beginning to prac tice and pay them a small salary to pnwute the rich criminals. That Is why If a man steals a loaf of bread to keep the womnn he loves from Rtarvlng he goes to the penlten liary. while the banker who steals a million and robs widows and orphans. gets off s"ot free. Eminent attorneys find technicalities, and the rich man get away with the sugar buns. The case of the baker ngainst Mor rW 1-rnwn Is a typical one. If you will think o,ver the incidents and the plea of the young citizen you will dis cover one cause of tho "social un rest." It Is t-ecnuse of the buns. SHORT CUTS. Though today may not fulfill i i All thy hopes, have patience X still, t For perchance tomorrow's sun S Sees thy happier days begun. H H Selected 0$3$ i If You Take the Long Way Round You Never Arrive. Let women who lime swallowed wholesale the proverb that short cuts are bometluies longest forget It. This Is u day of short cuts. If you take the long way tound you never at rive. Cuts to be bhort need not be poorly done with n liluut kulfe. The clever 'st surgeon is he who can perform thu biggest operation with the shortest gash I.e.ira to do things quickly, but well. Potti'iiug Is ii uiiiil tabooed In the up to date lexicon. In this hustling world the woman who does not "get theie" on an air Hue never lias a name to re.-t. Take to rouvursutlonnl short cuts. She who rambled beats about the bush, proses, bores her hearers nud uses up her own nervoui energy. If terseness were a habit doitors would never have to ordT for their women patients periods of Trapplst silence. Be a housekeeping shwt cutter. Avoid nonesscntlils Spend on labor savers rather than on frills. Get down to a system and hold every one else In your household to It. This way lies the solution to the eternal strvant problems. Ilunt short cuts with the needle Many women wear their lives out with constant stitching. Flue hand work Is a luxury. Take to a machine for steady wear. Digging Is for the specialist, the scholar. Tho average busy mau or woman to rend at all must seek short cuts. Itevlews und abstracts are not admirable, but they nre better than total Ignorance. Literary culling Is not the old wny. It seems to be the only way In these days of varied Interests. Be a short cutter In business. Learn dotatls. then study to eliminate them tf yon would have time and strength for bigger things. The swiftest rond to success has tho fewest curves. "B Plurlbus Unun," whren appears on tho scroll held in the eagle's beak; 13 horizontal bars on the shield; 13 arrowheads held in one claw, while tho branch hold In tha other claw has Just 13 leaves, and the letters of tho name "quarter-dollar," at the bottom count up 13.

The good old gift cigars That father flags Are older than the stars As Christmas gags. Yet they must duty do once more The Jester needs them as of yore. The cotton-batting beard, Another pest, Is what I call a weird And jaundiced jest. But it must duty do once more And all us weary mortals bore. The good old Christmas jokes Are all in line. We can't escape them, folks, So why repine? They all must duty do once more, As they have often done before. A Pessimist. When They Are Engaged. Say his friends: "What can he see In that awkward maiden, slim?" Her friends say: "What a silly To throw hersolf away on htm!" Exchange Never do any worrying today that can be put off till tomorrow. "I never dreamed I would, either," replied the dazed youth, who had just been accepted. Many a man who. loves his neigh bor as himself would be In serious trouble If his wife knew it. Tho trlrl who eets married during leap year must be very beautiful In order to escape suspicion. We have watched it a good wny years and there Is always something wrong with' the man whowaniu to carry the girl's parasol: A New York court has decided that a young man can't compel his fiancee to return his gifts. Neither can it compel the fiancee to return the kisses. The average man's ideal way to live would be in a cozy little cot-, tage away off In the country with a cigar store, drug store, theatre and club within four minutes' walk. "Chess, checkers and whist are marvelous inventions," says the phil osopher of folly. "They enable a man to waste his time and still have the feeling that he Is accomplishing something intellectual." "That house that you finished a few weeks ago is the biggest of the lot," said the real estate agent, "Perhaps that's why It's so hard to find a tenant." "Yes," answered the builder, "It's last but not leased." Photographer (to young man) It will make a much better picture If you put your hand on your father's shoulder. The Father Huh! It would be much more natural If he had his hand In my pocket! Miss Inland You certainly have a charming country place here, and of course you have given It some pretty name? Mr. Bondholder Oh, yes! Mrs. Bondholder calls It 'Udlemoment-by-the-Sea," but I call at by Its right name, "Moneysunk." : v - t I am making out my list," For of cash, I've not a fist, And nobody must be missed, Oh, dear me. For the list It stretches so, I agree with those who show More elastic now should grow Currency. Up Against It. A little girl had been told by her teacher to stand with her face north, and her right hand would bo at tho east, her left hand would be at the west, and her back would be at the south. Starting to go over It, the teacher asked, "Now tell me what Is in front of you?" After some thought, the little one replied, "My stomach." . a-K-a-a-a-a-a--a-a-u-a-::-a-aH-ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-H-H- ioys Ioys Toys On tomorrow, Thursday, we are going to sell the a a i a a .- a a t a, a i a i a 'I remainder of our large stock of toysTr r at a discount of 9 S , : ' i- 75 cents will buy $1.00 worth of toys at our store, Everything is marked in plain figures and from these prices we will deduct 25 per cent: - Express Wagons, reg. $2.25 - :;l- .:. $1.70 Express Wagons, reg. $2.50 r :. $1.90 Velocipedes, rubber tires, reg. 5.00 lai $3.75 Velocipedes, rubber tires, reg. $5.501 l'i $4.10 Velocipec'es, rubber tires, reg. $6.25 " "$4.70 Velocipedes, steel tires, reg. $3.50 Ll $2.70 Velocipedes, steel tires, reg. $3.75 1 !" -. y $2.60 Dolls all prices from 1 1 20c to $8.50 REMEMBER THE PLACE AMD SAVE MONEY.

In the course of the discussion the mother said weepingly to her son: "John, what do you think?" "I leave it to you, mother." "I make It sp-pades," was her reply. "It Is astonishing what faith the old school farmer used to put in his almanac," said a farmer of the new school, a graduate of an agricultural college. "My father was an old s,Aool farmer, and In June he would con sult his almanac to see If we were going to have a clear Christmas. What though the almanac usually, went back on him? Sometimes its predictions were true, and one ac curate prophecy counterbalanced In my father's mind 50 mlscues. "Once I crossed the ocean with the old man. We sat at the captain's table, and the first night out my father, laying down his spoon, said anxiously: " 'Captain, hev ye got an almanac on board?' " 'No,' the captain answered. "The old man frowned and shook his head. " 'Then, by gosh,' he said, 'we'll hev to take the weather as she comes.'

There was a difference of opinion as to whether he should be burled In NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Dec. 18. From a comparatively poor man to be one of the richest in the city is the sudden change that John Worth ner, engineer at the Traut & Hlne Manufacturing Company, has under gone.
