CHRISTMAS TREE FOR ORPHANS.
Little Inmates of Savannah Orphans-
Home Given a Happy Afternoon.
A pretty and interesting Christmas
tree celebration was held yesterday
afternoon at the Savannah Female
Orphans’ Asylum. A number of visi
tors and several ladies of the board of
directors were present and enjoyed
very much the simple and pretty ex
ercises.
The children were assembled about
six o'clock in the hall, and singing a
Christmas hymn passed into one of
the rear rooms, -where the Christmas
tree, attractively decorated and hung
with gifts, was placed. The little in
mates of the home sing unusually
well, and the Christmas carols, a
number of which were given, were
much enjoyed. There were also a
number of recitations, all appropriate
to the season, by the children, some
dialogues, and some little character
pieces. All showed careful training,
and the unconscious manner of the
little folks as they went through their
various parts was very attractive.
After the programme, the Christmas
gifts were distributed, each child re
ceiving some toy of gift * statable to
her age.
It was through the kindness and
generosity of many interested friends
of the orphans that they were enabled
to have the tree, with Its bright orna
ments, as well as the personal gifts,
and the lames of the board wish to
extend their warm thanks to those
who contributed in any way to the
Christmas pleasure of the children.
Some generous cheques were given,
besides welcome donations of candy,
oranges, turkeys, cakes, fireworks,
Christmas cards, crackers, flour, and
new winter hats for all the children.
Appreciation was warmly expressed of
the kindness of those who, by their
generous donations, helped to make
Christmas a happy one for the girls
In the home.
E\TE RT A1 NED WITH HEARTS.
Miss Irene Withers entertained last
evening with a delightful little party
for Miss Evelyn Cranford and Miss
Eulalie Converse of Valdosta, who are
her guests for part of the holidays.
Christmas decorations of holly and
evergreens .made the rooms attractive,
and, with the addition of Christmas
tree ornaments hung about, very gay
and bright.
The game of hearts was played. A
silver dog’s head pin was given as the
first prize, and for the second there
was a silver pencil. Each of the vis
itors received a pretty prize, one a
picture, and one a pair of Turkish slip
pers.
At the end of the game a large
Christmas pie was brought in, and
each guest drew a souvenir.
Those present besides Miss Converse
and Miss Cranford were Miss Guile
Garrard, Miss Nannie Hardee, Miss
Violet White, Miss Rosalind Wood,

A SYRIAN LUNCHEON.
Every one likes novelty in cuisine,
and a Syrian or Turkish luncheon is
quite worth trying. A luncheon strict
ly Syrian always starts off with little
glasses of arrac, a liqueur imported
from Russia, and greatly resembling
white ruin. This is followed by a rel
ish called maza, not entirely unknown
to the American table. The maza is
made with -raw lamb minced and mix
ed with cucumbers and tomatoes, with
a dash of white pepper. To the soup,
which is like any vegetable or chicken
soup, a spoonful of koshk, which is
fermented milk thickened with flour,
is added. The koshk is bought al
ready prepared, and is used much as
the continentals use cheese. The dried,
roasted peas are also added to the
soup, just as the latter is served. If
they are put in before they lose their
crispness and delicacy. With the Sy
rians all vegetables are stuffed—on
ions, potatoes, squash, egg plant and
tomatoes—and very delicious they are.
The stuffing is made with the inside
of the vegetable, chopped meat, brown
ed in a pan with butter (goat butter),
boiled rice, pinecone nuts and a few
of the dried peas, which are called
kummus. It is then replaced in the
vegetable shell and baked until brown.
Pistachio nuts, baklawa and nalwa,
delicious sweetmeats similar to a mac
caroon. only, more delicate, with a bar
of curious construction called tahiny,
form the dessert for both luncheon and
dinner. A root which we know in this
country as soap root, and used for
washing delicate fabrics, and Is also
used by the Syrians in the crude form
for the same purpose, is boiled, dried
and ground into powder, which makes
the most exquisite ground work for
sweetmeats or desserts.
for cloudy days.
For cloudy weather don’t forget that
It is well to have a dash of red in the
costume, even if one does not have
an all red dress. Pipings of robin red
breast red. or of turkey red leather,
make a very handsome finish for a
dress of sorrel brown, deep green or
cranberry red.
It is no harm to have a dashing red
leather belt and a stock to match to
put on when the skies are dull over
head and when all other people are
dressed in dull browns and impossible
steel grays.

Y. W. C. A. SURPRISE PARTY.
“Jock Horner” Pie, Kentnre of tile
Performance.
The surprise party of The Young
Woman’s Christian Association was
given last night at the association hall
on Abercorn street. An entertaining
programme had been arranged, the fea
ture of which was a ‘‘Jack Horner”
pie.
The pie was a clever imitation of the
genuine article and from the crust
protruded about' a hundred colored rib
bons. Each member drew one of the
ribbons from the pie and attached
thereto tvas a Christmas present for
the drawer.
Mrs. Graham addressed the members
on "Organization of Club Work In the
Association,” and the subject was ably
handled. A number of games were
played during the evening, and the
young ladies thoroughly enjoyed them
selves in "Going to Jerusalem" to at
tend "The Donkey Party.” Flinch and
ping-pong were also played.
The refreshments were served by the
demonstrators of the National Biscuit
Company and the menu consisted of
fruit salads, cheese wafers, cakes,
candy, hot chocolate and shreded wheat
biscuit ice cream. The rooms of the
hall were prettily decorated with sml
lax and mistletoe, which hung from the
pictures and chandeliers.
ART EXHIBIT AT DE SOTO.
Interesting Display of Pictures
Visited by Many.
The first annual art exhibit of the
Newspaper Illustrators Association
opened at the De Soto yesterday morn
ing, where It will continue for three
days. Hundreds of pictures of all de
scriptions are displayed and all are
arranged in such a manner that they
are shown oft to the best advantage.
Many visited the room in which the
display is placed.
A feature of the display is the num
ber of Savannah men represented.
One that attracted unusual comment
was a picture of Mayor Herman Myers.
About this picture is a touch of busi
ness briskness, dash, and progressive
ness that has marked the present ad
ministration and many were the com
ments heard .concerning it. The May
or is shown with his coat thrown
lightly back, his hands in his trous
ers pockets, and his whole manner is
pictured as that of an alert, up-to
date business man and official.
The picture of Mr. Horace P. Smart,
who Is drawn as a typical globe-trot
ter, also attracted considerable atten
tion. Mr. Smart is pictured as a man
whose only regret Is that this world
is so small that it is so easily seen
and he seems only to be wishing for
another globe about which to Jour
ney. The picture of other Savannah
lans are typical and the subjects of
much comment.
The scenes and the pictures of past
events, both real and fictitious, are
excellent and were highly praised,
though naturally the greatest Inter
est to Savannahlans lay In the por
traitures of Savannahlans, especially
those- of greater prominence. Groups
of admiring observers were before
these pictures during the day.

AT THE THEATER
The Arnold Stock Company, which
is to be at the Savannah Theater all
the week, gave its first performance
yesterday afternoon, presenting for a
Christmas matinee, "The Little Moth
er.” The company is much above the
average popular price show and the
performance yesterday was well at
tended. The production was liberal
ly applauded and the audience seem
ed pleased from beginning to end.
The Introduction of a number of
specialties between the acts added
greatly to the pleasure of the per
formance. All the specialties were
good and won their share of the ap
plause. Last night "A Daughter of
Satan" was presented, and to-night,
“Midnight in Chinatown” is to be
given. The company will play for
the remainder of the week with mati
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
Politics as a stage topic "was never
successful from a box office point of
view until George Ade came along with
"The County Chairman,” (not a musi
cal comedy), whereupon the Studebak
er Theater, Chicago and Wallack’s
Theater, New York, began to be jam
med to the doors with eager and laugh
ter convulsed audiences as it had never
been before.
The situation puzzled theatrical
managers quite as deeply as the fact
that Mr. Ade's comedy was the first
rural play to capture Broadway, and
they began to analyze. They found
that the political element of "The
County Chairman" was merely a back
ground, and that standing out from
it with prominence was a pretty and
affecting love interest in pleasant con
trast to an otherwise unbroken series
of mirth provoking incidents.
It was this even balancing of seri
ous dramatic sentiment with irreslst
ably comic episodes and situations that
kept the crowds constantly, between
the verge of tears and paroxysms of
delight. Politics was a mere side is
sue, yet it captured and captivated
for the reason that the character cloth
ed in it was a rugged, homely, hon
est, kind hearted yet shrewd and
adroit country wire puller who broke
into the affections of the spectators
from the very start.
"The County Chairman” will be here
on next Monday.

to Employes.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Pension Commissioner Ware, who re
signed from the Pension Office the
other day, is a Western poet with a
breezy and w'ild and woolly kind of
way; something of an iconoclast, and
with a good deal of the irreverence
of anew country; a man with a dis
tinct individuality, and, strangely
enough, a person who completely typi
fies that peculiar Kansas strain which
became famous when Mary Elizabeth
Lease and the Populists and the queer
people generally were to the fore in
the Sunflower State. Mr. Ware is
not queer, he is original, and his con
duct of the pension office, which he
describes as twice as wearing as a
sojourn in purgatory, as been tinged
with a delightful touch of humor
which the country has much enjoyed.
The Ware administration has been
one of The commissioner
had a habit of disciplining grown men
and other loafers who happened to be
caught looking at a newspaper In busi
ness hours; he made startling proc
lamations about inconsequential
things; his office was a good source ot
news. The one thing which attracted
the most attention, and which may be
considered the Warean classic—if one
may be singled out of a body so uni
formly excellent—\vas his Immortal
placard on Wiggins of Georgia, con
spicuously posted in the corridor of
the pension building:
Wiggins of Georgia is a model. His
virtues should be copied toy all gov
ernment clerks. Wiggins of Georgia
does not lie awake at nights thinking
of promotions. His annual leave does
not disturb his dreams. Wiggins of
Georgia is entitled to a place in the
hall of fame. Wiggins of Georgia is
promoted. His salary henceforth is
$1,200.
Poor Wiggins of Georgia! We have
always wondered If he will ever be
able to recover from that thrust. Per
haps it will stir his blood as the years
roll on and as his companions Jeer. In
sheer desperation he will mayhap
arouse himself and resolve by heaven
to escape that encomium; perhaps he
will become great or run amuck.
The fame of Wiggins of Georgia was
blown to every corner of the United
States; people who advise young men
how to attain success pointed to Wig
gins of Georgia; pursy trust magnates
who employ thousands of workers
called attention to him; country news
papers held him up for emulation;
great was Wiggins of Georgia.
We are under no obligations to Mr.
Ware, and we say to all young men to
beware of the Wiggins of Georgia Idea.
There are two ways of looking at
things in the world. Dr. Johnson was
passing along one of London’s streets
on Sunday morning on his way to
church, when he saw a Frenchman
skinning an eel. The. foreigner cursed
the eel frightfully because It would,
not keep still while he was taking
Its unfortunate hide off, and Dr. John
son, who hated Frenchman and for
eigners rather unreasonably, always
cited the instance as proof of his con
tention that all Frenchmen were fools.
From the standpoint of the employer
who is so shortsighted that he wants
the kind of clerks who always keep
still; the clerks who let the wood of
their desks enter their souls; who have

no ambition, and become mere little
pieces of inert machinery, or dull
wooden automatons, the Wiggins of
Georgia type is a solace and blessing,
or the wooden employers think it la,
and they exclaim to the world. Be

The young men who are employed
ought not to pay any attention to that
idea; they ought to fhink of promo
tions and dream of them, and of course
they ought to work for them and de
serve them. The persons who want
the promotion when they have not done
the work are very, very foolish crea

assistance in making the world whirl

THE BYE-BYE CHAIR.
Holman Day, in Person’s.
The reign o’ dad Is the dusky region;
mother may hold the throne
All the day, but. tea away, daddy
comes Into his own.
Oho, then, crown o' the tasseled cap,
robe o' the dressing gown!
I'm king at night by honest right,
though a slave to trade down
town.
What news is this by Courier Cat?
One marching to destroy?
Invasion led by one o' rank—by Em
peror Billyboy?
Again 'tis proved my kingly crown
is parlous thing to wear.
Here’s siege and scaling, rout and sack
of Fortress Easy Chair.
And now, retreat! My kingly ruse!
The sofa citadel.
What? Mined beneath? Then up
white flag! To kingly hopes fare
well!
Hold, O bombarding cushion host, I
yield to puissant Bill.
The cmpwor has won to-ntght! I
live to do his will.
The victor’s terms? Nor harsh are
they; a kiss, a toss or two.
My tyrant, these-1 gladly yield to such
a lord as you.
Now, crib! What, no? Your mother’s
arms? I grant the boon with Joy.
Ho, up the stair! Good queen pre
pare! Here’s Emperor Billy-boy.
May I sit down in Slumber-town and
listen to the tunes
That mother voice In cadence soft
and tender accents croons?
Let me sit down In this dear realm
whose throne is built so fair —
The throne no man may e’er dispute—
a mother's Bye-Bye Chair.
I'm hungry for the quaint old songs,
old lullabies, my dear!
The Now is dim, the Then shines clear
as I am list'nlng here.
I feel the clasp of mother arms come
round me in the gloom,
I seem to hear another voice within
this hallowed room,
The thrill of old-time melodies is in
that mystic sound,
The sanctity of old-time love encom
passeth me round.
The World at times has beat me back
in battles I have fought,
Not always has the god Success touch
ed tasks in which I wrought;
Full oft has Fortune dealt a blow in
stead of bent to bless,
And heartache followed close upon
the heels of happiness.
But often when a solemn song of woe
my heart Intoned.
And often when the spirit writhed and
all my nature groaned.
Then stole refrain that softened pain,
not phrased by mortal tongue,
But born of mem'ries old and sweet—
the songs my mother sung
When in the dusk she held me close
and gently stroked my hair,
And bore me with her down to Sleep
in that old Bye-Bye Chair.
My boyhood’s friend went wrong to
day; the same old story, dear!
Temptation, yielding, sin and fall. And
thoughtless worldlings sneer!
But I who sit here by your side and
hear you sing to-hlght,
And gaze behind me on the years with
love and faith alight,
I do not pride my falt’rfng feet upon
the race they’ve made,
But search my heart and bless the part
that mother love, has played.
I know he lacked the mother hands
that fondly press and mold,
I know he lacked the mother smile
that turns the dross to gold;
And at the crossroads where t!)e tracks
of Right and Wrong are dim
There was no shining mother light to
point the way to him.
The callous cynics of the world gage
sin by what is done,
But I can measure life by love of
mother to her son;
And God, who knows the human heart,
has mercy, dear, to spare
To him whose soul-strength was not
won in mother's Bye Bye Chair.
Sleep, little boy—my Billy-boy! The
World Is Just outside.
It does not fight the pillow fight; 'ti*
stern In wrath and pride.
Its blows are blows that shiver
strength; it smiles to see a fall;
It does not pity Idle tears nor heed a
craven's call.
Yet victory Is not to him who wantonly
given pain.
Who wrests their weapons from the
weak and tramples on the slain.'
For chivalry, it is not dead, nor honor
hut a name.
And bitter scorn be meed of him who
brings his mother shame.
Yet he who, harking back to youth,
goes forth and nobly tries
To color life to match the light that
shines from mother’s eyes.
And he who with his earnest faith his
after life attunes
To those old songs of honest love hla
mother softly croons,
May walk adown the ways of Life,
and in his daily prayer
Thank God that all his best was born
in that old Bye-Bye Chair.
ALCOHOL AS FOOD.
One and a Half Fluid Ounces a Day
Allowed by the Authorities.
From the Lancet.
It has now been established by sev
eral well known classical researches
that up to a point alcohol is a food and
past that point It Is a poison. To
draw a sharp line of demarcation
which shall define for ail persons when
its action as a food exactly ceases and
when Its effect as a poison exactly be
gins is barely possible. The tissues of
different individuals differ greatly In
regard to their oxidizing capacity, and
it is a matter of common observation
(bat there are person* who oan toler
ate more alcohol than others without
apparent Injury to health. Again, oc
cupation and environment very mate
rially affect the powers of the body to
assimilate alcohol. Thu* men who pur
sue an active life In the open air are
able to Indulge In alcohol more free
ly than are those who are engaged
In sedentary occupations.
It is all a question of functional ac
tivity, of the condition of the tissue to
oxidize the combustible material pre
sented to it. It ha* been conjectured
that the oxidizing power of the tissues,
over nlcohol In particular, must have
steadily diminished since the time
when our ancestore drank their three
bottlee of port with impunity. Such a
performance at any rate Is seldom
heard of nowadays. Tha quantity of
alcohol Imbibed In such an exploit
muet obviously be greatly In excess of
the limit of the body's oxidising ca
pacity, aa deduced from srlenttfla expe
riment.
One ands half fluid ounces of pure
alcohol Is the utmost quantity thit
can b* completely utilised as food In
Ihe human body per dt*m, according to
* apenniental observation, A quantity
Ingreted additional to that amount,
therefore, may escape oxidation, In* *n
phi a products of combust ion, so to

speak, may be formed and toxic effects
ensue. It is therefore, Interesting to
consider whut amounts of the ordinary
alcoholic drinks contain this permissi
ble allowance of alcohol—sav, one and
a halt’ fluid ounces-which Is assumed
to be the extreme limit of tho oxidiz
ing power of the body.
Taking brandy and whisky to contain
50 per cent, by volume of alcohol, three
fluid ounces or six tnblespoonfuls of
these spirits would contain the maxi
mum allowable dally dose. This would
be the equivalent of about two glasses
of brandy or whisky and water per
diem, each containing three tablespoon
fuls of spirit aitd a half pint of water,
to exceed whU h would be to risk a
toxic result. Port and sherry, with
their average of 20 per cent, of alco
hol, would contain tho permissible
amount of alcohol in seven ounces, or
n little over two wlneglassfuls, assum
ing each to contain about three fluid
ounces. The limited quantity of white
wines, claret or champagne, with 10
per cent, of alcohol, would be fifteen
fluid ounces, while one and a half fluid
ounces of alcohol represent about thir
ty fluid ounces or a pint and a half
of table bier.
The question, is however, complicat
ed in the case of wines and beer, be
cause these contain nutritive matters
in addition. Apnrt from the fact that
to avoid injury to health the amount of
alcohol consumed per diem should be
limited strictly to one and a half fluid
ounces, it cannot be regarded for
practical purposes as a food In the
sense of a true reparative. It Is at
best a producer of hent and energy,
and then frequently at the expense
of healthy cellular activity, while Its
cost from the point of view of actual
food value has been calculated to be
eight times more than that of bread.

that's an awful big bill for one week’s
treatment!” Physician—‘‘My dear fel
low. it you knew what an interesting
case yours was and how strongly I
was tempted to let It go to a post
mortem you wouldn’t grumble at a bill
three times as big as this.”—Chicago
