While army nnd navy officials are lamenting the reluctance of young men to enlist In these services, those of the marine corps art felicitating themselves that up to the limit au thorized by law the quota of that or- esnlzatlon Is practically complete. The record of enlistments for Novem ber was the best In the history of the eorps, more thnn 900 men being en rolled. This condition Is remarkable when It Is considered that the ma rines serve with seamen who may se- -uro for themkelven a monthly wage of .70 besides allowances, while the marlDo may not hope, under present conditions, to get more tlinn $37 a month. The army Is nearly 19,000 mon short of Its authorized strength and the navy 8,000.. To Prevent Accidents. Lieutenant Leigh C. Palmer, ord nance officer of the Vermont, has worked out the details of a system for convoying powder for turret use In a manner that seems destined to suc ceed. Hy the new scheme powder will be elevated by hand power to the turret room and the magailne with the Idea of rendering Imiiosslhle nn accident such as happened on the Missouri. The powder will be kept In a system of locks, with boxes so ar ranged that when the top ts opened the bottom must close, olid vice versa. It Is asserted that by hand loading the rapidity of tiring can be brought up to four or alx shots a minute, and officers expect to do better than this. No New Members. For the first time In many years there Is no application tor member ship on the Chicago. Board of Trade posted on the bulletin board. Officials of the board who have been connected with the Institution for twenty years past say they can not remember any such occurrence before. The demand for membership has been fist for some time, and it has been come time since there has been a sale. Memberships are offered for sale at $3,500 net to (be buyer. Favor State War Colleges. The plan of President K. J. James, of the University of Illinois, for the establishment of a war college at the University of Illinois has beea ap proved by the war department. This plan calls for a five-year military course, the graduates to receive com missions In the army. All state uni versities are to have the same privi leges, In nn effort to better the condi tion of the army. Well, say. maybe this Isn't that good old-fashioned Christmas weather!

THE STREETS OF ATLANTA THESE CHRISTMAS TIMES. The sunshine of an ideal December day falls In softened glory upon the surging masses which crowd the thoroughfares In the shopping dis tricts of Atlanta. The thlu coating of Ice which glazed the sidewalks In the early morning hours quickly vanished before the warmth of a win-, tor's sun. Th« crisp atmosphere Is charged os by an electric current with the anticipations of a great city's population. The very air Is al ready vibrant with exiieotatlon of the most beautiful festival In the cal endar of the Christian church. < Men, women and children, rich nnd poor, great, near great, and not great at all. are Imbued with the sweet and generous sentiment of the Christmas tide. The stores are congested with shoppers, all Intent upon the purchasing of gifts; all aglow with a desire to make somebody hap pier and perchance to lighten the burdena that weigh heavily upon the hearts and shoulders of loved ones. The shop windows are gorgeous In (heir trappings and alluring displays of glittering gems; burnished sliver and gold; human looking dolls; toys that rival In mechanism the great inventions of this mechanical age; beautiful specimens from the looms of the Orient and the mills of America and rare and exquisite hrlc-a-brae fit for the palace of a king. Mingling with these splendid material things hang the crimson Christmas bells, ganands of holly and branches of mistletoe, the tender significance of which arrests the attention and evokes a silent tribute from the most eager buyer, who jostles his way amid the. hurrying crowds. Little children with the beauty of an unquestioning faith, shining out of their innocent eye's, peer Into the splendid windows and count the slow- moving days, before the coming of Santa Claus. The vender or holly wreaths has made his annual stand on the street corners and wagons loaded with Christmas greens are surrounded by men and women' tvbo feel that Christmas would be a barren, cbeorless festival unless {lolly wreaths hang In Ibeir windows and tho gleaming mistletoe pearls make royal and brilliant color schemes, nestling close to tbb crim son Christmas bells. The mon who sell quaint, quivering toys on the streets; boys who call to the passers-by of the value of their highly-col ored wares and the Insistent tinkle of the little bells on the street cor ners In the hands of representatives of the Salvation Army, reminding the busy, surging throngs of the needs of the helpless poor, all tell In their own peculiar way of the coming of Christmas In this great city. The stores are reaping a rich, unprecedented harvest which for the present destroys Interest In tho price of stocks and cotton and In the re- polls from the great money centers of the world. Atlanta pulses with aentlmont la these days which precede the anni versary of the coming of the Christ child, and on every aide In the won derful shops, on the crowded streets, humanity Is temporarily holding In abeyance Its selfish, calculating material side, while the tender beautiful spirit of the Christmas season has possession of the universe. The senti ment and purpose of the mission of tho Magi of old has become the domi nant expression of men, women and children throughout the Christmas world at this wonderful time. Each recurring year finds tho aweet and marvellous lessons taught at the humble manger In Bethlehem more uni versally accepted by tho human race. Christmas Is coming and Its ap proach brings Into each heart and home a glow of eager anticipation that tells of love^ hope and an unselfish doing for those whom we love and for those who love us. PROHIBITION IN THE NATIONAL SENATE. The action of Senator Tillman, of Sonth Carolina, on Wednesday In forcing upon the attention of hlB colleagues In the senate a consideration of Federal legislation to enable prohibition stntoa to enforce their laws regarding the sale of liquor, was tho Initial step at this session In .deal ing with a very serious problem. As Is well known, whisky dealers who have been forced to chango their places of busineec, going Into adjacent states, because or statutory prohibition laws, are already Hooding the malts with letters (Ad cards, advertising their wares and soliciting the patronage—through the ex press companies—of Individuals and families who can not purchase liq uors In a dry town. Theso dealers expect to reap a rich financial harvest from persons whose orders can be filled at a distance and shipped to their very doors. It Is this acute and dangerous phase of tho prohibition question that aroused Senator Tillman In' the national senate on Wednesday. What Is known as the Wilson bill, passed at a previous congress, has been subject to endless controversy, phrased aa It was In a way to admit of varying Interpretations. The action of the supreme court of the United States In holding that the use of the word "arrive" In the Wilson bill, means actual delivery to the consignee, has never been accepted as' correct or flnkl by s largo majority of people concerned In this Important Issue of prohibition. This dissenting class contends that the word "ar rive" stands for the receipt of liquor on the borders of a state. Senator Tillman's familiarity with the difficulties surrounding the enforcement of the dispensary laws of South Carolina especially fits him for a discussion at this time of all the Intricacies of a question which Is rapidly becoming of national Import. Senators Bailey, Baird, Knox. Tillman and MoCumber participated in the discussions of this problem, which Is probably destined to become of great and almost universal concern throughout the entire country. The position taken by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, on Wednesday was peculiarly significant. In speaking of the decision of the supreme court, Mr. Knox said, "I don't bellevo that It Is necessary to deal with this matter by a resolution. Von are perfectly certain In a short time to havo bills presented which will necessarily receive attention. Prohibition Is In creasing and will continue to Increase." A recent editorial In Harper’s Weekly calls attention to another phase of the prohibition question which will necesssrily receive the attention of law-makers, as the states adopting prohibition adjust themselves to their new conditions. This sldollght thrown by Htrper’s Weekly refers to a disregard- of certain legal provisions when a whisky dealer advertises his wares within tho borders of n prohibition state. This breaking of a state law. Intended to be strlngont and binding, will have to be enforced by en actment* from the same national authority as ihall soon deal with the In terpretation of Interstate commerce enactment* regulating liquor traffic In section* which have passed strict statutory laws. ARE OUR FIGHTING MEN PAID ENOUGH? According to the annual report of Major General Ainsworth, the ad jutant general, the actual strength of the entire military establishment on October 15 last wAs 58,998 men. Including 3,890 officers, but not In cluding 3,400 men of the Hospital Corps, so that the establishment was 19,(71 men short of Its authorised strength. The deficiency on the corresponding date the preceding year was'7,830 men. During the last fiscal year there was 4,623 desertions, 6.6 per cent of the trmy, as against 7.4 per cent daring the preceding year. In discussing the bill to be Introduced st tbit session or congress, providing for a general Increase In the pay of tho officers and men In the army and navy, Rear Admiral W. T. Burwell, commandant of the Puget Sound yard, said that he can not live aa well on his salary now as a rear admiral as he could twenty-five years ago, on hit pay as a lieu tenant. He said further: "Thirty years ago, as a lieutenant, t lived much better, kept a horse and carriage and had more available ready money than 1 have now on more than double the pay, owing to, the advance In the cost of living and the necessarily Increased expenses In the higher position. That’s how the older officers are affected. As to the younger officers, the psy of a lieutenant will not go as far as would that of a midshipman twenty- five years ago. The cost of living nnd the relative compensation In other lines of effort have Increased out of all proportion to the advance In the pay In the navy. Petty officers required to be first clsss mechanics get little more (hkn the pay of civilian laborers, and It Is a fact that lu many Instances they are paid less (ban the •mechanics working under them." NO CHANGE MADE BY THE Y. M. C. A. Unfounded reports from the International Convention of the Young Men* Christian Association have given the Impression that In* associa tions have let down the religious bars which for forty years have kept from active membership In the associations men who were not members of evangelical churches. Aa a matter of tact, there baa been no change In the membership requirements, nor are any In contemplation. During the convention jnst held in Washington tho evangelical basis of active membership was considered by a committee of which the Rev. Dr. Edward I. Bosworth, of Obcrlln Seminary, was chairman. On the recommendation of this committee the convention reaffirmed the basis 'or active membership first adopted by the associations la 18(3.

At the fourth nui/nl conference of the I’rogresalve Women * Association, which wan held at Fraukfort-oiLthe-Malii, from Heptember 27 to 30. the question of the In crease of population was treated In a lec ture by Dr. Professof Otbraar Spann, who proved that this question waa cloaely con nected with tho woman question. v .

"Give ns good mother*”—women who are mental ly nnd bodily snne. women who dcifond all huniun rights, because they nre subject to the hardeat of human duties, and who mlt to It willingly. We need this kind of women and mothers.

One night she ntnaerhe Mr .Merrldew's room end Bnds more evidence that almost eonvlnees her that her father really wa» Mrs. Merrldsw'a husband. That "Thank God!" at the end of the trial was eloquent Indeed. It meant that Mrs. Merrldew had cause to fear the man: and In a second Olive resolved that he must be brought Into her life again. How could she manage this? She thought of Mr. Casement. . He might be abb; to find out In what pris on Purvis was serving, and the time of his liberation. Then means might be found to convey to him the Informa tion where he would find Mrs, Merrldew on his release. She wrote a long letter to the law yer explaining everything; telling him her wish; and urging him to do his utmost to .carry out the plan which had occurred to her. For tho rest of the night and all the following day she could think of little but the fateful discovery she had made among Mrs. Merrldew's papers. That portrait of her father hauntod her; and the words—"My wife that Is to be"—rang in her cars like a dirge, depressing her, until It was only with a great effort that she could play her part as the light-hearted Irish girl. In the afternoon Mrs. Cooper sent her Into tho village on a little er rand. It wns the first time she had been there since her loss of fortune; and the sadness of the thoughts which were stirred by the sight of the familiar scenes was all tho deeper because of this new depression. Had she faced all the difficulties and dangers of the quest only to find at the end that there was no fraud at all, but that she had been rightly dis inherited? Was It possible that her dear father, whom she had revered and loved aa the very soul of honor, could so have deceived her mother? She recalled the devoted love and tender ness which she' had seen him lavish upon her mother In the year* she could remember. And every act seemed to give the lie to this new suspicion. If this terrible thing were true, that must all have been Inspired rather by remorse than true love. No, no, a thou sand ttmee no. But then those words would recur—"My wife that Is to be' — until tho struggle to convince herself became an alraoet Intolerable anguish. She remembered that old thought of here—that he had some secret which he had always kept from them, even from her tn the happy days at Silver- beech; and, fight against the feeling aa she would, this recollection forced Itself on her as a sbrt of disheartening con firmation of her dread. It might have been no more than tits reluctance to allow the secret of those old Sheffield day* to get out, with their story of suspicion and Intrigue with this evil woman.

But the drawn look of patn In hi* eyes, the harried expression of hi* features, and the nervous, eager restlessness of hls man ner made her heart ache till she longed to tell him the truth. It was-the se verest trial she had yetjrad to undergo. "Dlvll a bit have I Iver seen anny wan here bearin' that name, your hon or. But I've been here no longer than It takes a kitten to open Re eyes." "Look here, my girl. Til give you any. thing you tike to ask for. If you tell me something, anything, about her.” "Sure, I’d do that eame wldnttt askin' for anythin! If I could, reetn’ how trou bled your honor looks about It.” Jack heaved a deep sigh. "All right. 1 Then I’ll go on to the house,” and with that ha loft her and hurried on. It was all that Olive could do to re strain herself from calling him back and telling him everything. But they were already In sight of the house, and to have told him then would have risked the whole of her work at the Manor. Besides, If her new fear were true, she had none but the worst news to tell hInj —that they must part for always. Yes. MUST. There was no other word. But the eight of hls anguish had stricken her to the heart. It had been one thing to tell herself that a day or two more or less of uncertainty and suspense would not hurt him. She could see that every minute must be a torture, and she went up to her room heavily and sat thinking how to end It Presently a thought suggested Itself. She could not let him go away carry ing that crushing land of sorrow when she had the power to remove the burden. She would write a little note and find some way of getting It to him as he left. She could easily fol low hlm down the drive, slip It Into hls hand and then dart away Into the shrubbery and elude him. "All Is well with me. Havo patience, and If you value my life do not breaths a word that you even know I am alive. "OLIVE." Prepared with that, she went down stairs to ascertain what hod occurred tn Jack’s Interview with tho Merri- dews. At the bottom, Dawleigh was waiting for her. "You're not going by without a word that you're glad to see me back again. Mo]l|e, are you?” he said, putting out hls hand. “It len't cryln’ my eyes out for the loss of yes that I’d be afther doin', Mr. Dawleigh, Is, It?" "That’s true In a way, Mollle. I hop* I shall never do anything to bring tear* to eyes that are made for laughter as yours are.” "Ah, go on wld yea Sure/ I’m that cross I could scratch the quills off a hedgehog. I'm Just alolve wld the rag* and smart of tho thing/’ "What’s up?” "What's up. Is It? It’s my tooth that’s up—on sthrolke, be the powers! an’ It's meself that ud lolke to be up an’ sthrolkln’ somethin’ or somebody, too. An’ that’s no lie, at all, at all!” "I’m awfully sorry, but It needn't prevent you saying you’re glad to se* me back again," he said, with a clum sy attempt to put hls arm around her waist. "Ah, l’ave a body alone, do. ’The tooth Isn't In my waist, now/' "If you were half as glad to see me aa I am to see you again you wouldn't take a fellow so short,” he grumbled, as he drew hls hand back. “Maybe I wouldn't. An' maybe If you’d naif ae bad a tooth you woutdn't be afther carin' whether you saw me again or not," she retorted crossly, wishing the man W9Uld take offense But he had no Intention of the sort. "I w*aa. thinking of you, Mollle. all the time I was away, and, look here, I want you to do me a favor.” “If you'll only l’ave me In p’aet, sure. I’ll do annythlng." With rather a sheepish air, he brought a little parcel out of hls pock et. "It's this. I want you to accept this and wear It. It only shows I was thinking of you, you know.” Olive affected a coquettish curiosity. "An’ what Is It?" "Look for yourself," he replied, giv ing her the parcel. •Sure, I think It's doin' my tooth good," she whispered, as she took the parcel and unfolded tt. Theq she gave a little cry of pleasure aa she took out a rather gaudy lace and ribbon tie. "But that's a rale beauty, Mr. Daw leigh. An’ Is that—an' did you get that for—do ye mane I’m to kape It? Oh!" “You like it, Mollle?" he asked, smil ing with delighted self-congratulation upon the result Of hls Investment. She held It up as If with rapt ad miration. "Sure, I wish I waa to wear It In dear ould Ologhereen. Oh. but It's Just lovely. Where's a glass? Sure there's one In the hall." She ragWhere. ‘and, holding the tie to her breast, gazed at herself ns If fascinated. "But I’ll nlver be.able to wear It, at all. at all. Think of what the others 'ud he afther sayln’, an’ me not knowing you more'n a few days. too. Why, they’d be Ju»t scratchln’ my eyes out wtd their Jealousy, Mr. Dawleigh."

"I'm not so sure I’d have ye chans* tt,” she replied, with another glance. “I'd like to change your*/’ “Ah, go long wld yes,” she cried, giv ing him n little push. "If It’* nonsense lolke that ye'd be after talkin', you must take this back again,” and she held out his present with an atr of re luctance. .... .

But I haven't thanked you for It. I do thank you. Wllllan’- It Is nolce to be thought of. ye know. "It'e all right." he aald, clumsily 111 at ease, despite the victory, he thought he had won.
