or at least we woutd enjoy sending tokens If
we could only think of the appropriate

Doesn't one's own experience teach one that

The anme obacrvaflon holds good In regard
to the giving of money. There's no Christ*

of us than a check, or oven u Qro-dollar bill,
that we can go aud spend for precisely Jhe
thing we waiit. Krom long experience I

How to Please Children,
i long time I used to annually sen
nervous prostration trying to find soiuetl _
that they didn't already have to present to
children to whom I love to give. .Never
• did I hit the right thing. They ~
-brod youngsters and they were atv .
dutifully polite about If. but there was U
tint note In their thanks until, just before
Christmas once. I hit upon the expedleurof
handing to each child the money i In
to lieatow upon Its presents and said:
'Now, here, .lohnnle and Husle and Mary
d Tom, go aud get yourself whatever you
like.”
The tnouey was received with whoops

In regard to ths giving of fsmil'
here is ths experitnre of ono family who has
solved the Christmas gift problem In s way
that Mini worthy of imitation:
“Yon see." said one of the girls who was
telling me about it, "we are in the unfortu

taste and ,a small amount of money. Of
course, we don't like to. let the day pass
without some token of good will and re

STATE WIDE ISSUE
IN LEGISLATURE
CHARLES H. BLACK.'
Following Its decision to establish a
loan department In Atlanta, the Pru
dential Insurance Company of Newark,
N. J., has appointed Charles H. Black.
Junior member of the well-known real
estate firm of E. P. A Charles H. Black,
as Its representative.
For some time past the larger In
surance companies have adopted this
method of placing a goodly portion of
the money, or premiums, received from
various sections. A feature of the plnn
of some of the larger life Insurance
companies Is the erection of office
buildings, tho the money Is .some-
times used in the establishment of
a loan agency, where borrowers, large
and small, are accommodated at rea
sonable rates of Interest.
The city of Atlanta was determined
upon as the logical point for the loan
department by First Assistant Super
visor Archibald Woodruff, of the Pru
dential, after a tour of Southern states
for the purpose. He likewise decided
upon Mr. Black ns the one pre-emi
nently fitted to conduct the department.
The name of Charles H. Black, like
that of his father, has become synony
mous with the real estate business In
this the city of his birth, and It Is the
opinion df a legion -of business ac
quaintances that Mr. Black's rare apti
tude for this Important* position will

NASHVILLE, Tenn„ Dec. 15.—Ad
vocates of state-wide prohibition have
opened headquarters here preparatory
to convening of the state legislature,
and It Is sure that,, a contest will
.vaged before that body.
Former Senator I. L. Pendleton,
this city. Is In charge. Austin Peay,
chairman of -the Democratic state com.
mlttee and a close friend to Governor
Patterson, announced that ns Demo
cratic state chairman he had opened
headquarters here to oppose state-wide
prohibition legislation. Senator Albert
G. Ewing, Jr., of Nashville, will be
charge.
The Pendleton law, now’ on the stat
ute books, gives local option to cities o
less than 100,000 Inhabitants. The four-
mile law Is practical prohibition In un
Incorporated territory.

JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 15.—The regu
lar term of Federal court for the
Vicksburg division of the southern dls
trlct will be convened on the first Mon
day In January, the dockets of which
promise to be the heaviest In several
years. One of the Important cases
docketed for hearing Is the eminent do

the Bonelll property, adjoining the Fed

the government desires to use as a site
for an annex to the building, for which
congress has allowed a 160.000 appro
prlatlnn. Owners of the property
naked $20,000 for It and the govern
regards, this nrlce as excessive.
Another rule docketed is that of the
United States against J. W. Watson,
orlglnnlly Involving a claim for $59,00(1
which was reduced by net of congress
to $45,000. and the government Is now
endeavoring to collect that sum. Major
