This is a gratuitous contri bution given with the slncerest of good wishes to the children who had expected ho little, if anything, this Christmas. Mr. VV. T. MacKendree, who is in charge of tin* Circulation Department of the Herald, made the suggestion to the carriers that they would make a donation.

Some people do not believe that re pose of feature can ever be as attrac tive as vivacity, but in some cases it is even more beautiful. Expression is a gift of the gods; repose of feature or gravity is what we make it. We may make our faces express a great j deal or we ma> wear a musk when we are not smiling, it is all voluntary. These pictures illustrate expression In repose. The features are appar ently without a smile, which ordinar ily relieves the general droop of the features which is almost sure to set in as a reaction after one has been talking and using plenty of facial movements. Rut the features have not drooped, there is a life about each separate feature* which shows that j although the face Is in repose admir- j able control is being exerted not to al- i low the features to droop and become j Insignificant.

And these donations were made by hoys who are in no ways well off, yet they did it uladly and with a beautiful Christmas spirit.

ELABORATE CHRISTMAS EVE PROGRAM AT THE MODJESKA THEATRE “The Panther, a Broncho feature in two ports; “Broncho Billy’s Double Escape,” an Essanay production; “But terfly Ring,” a Selig play, and a "Cor ner tn Hats,” a Komic Komedy, are the titles of the interesting plays on the program at the Modjeska theatre for today and evening. ‘The Panther” in story form, follows: Andrew McLeod, called the ‘‘Pan ther” by the Indians because of his cruelty, intends to marry Julie, daugh ter of Francois Ledru, a French trapper. In fear of McLeod, Julie runs away, and the “Panther” wreaks his rage upon the father, whom he beats and kills. Julie, meanwhile, has fal len in with two travelers, David Brandt and a priest. Upon Brandt’s offering to do anything whatsoever to help Julie, she begs him to marry her. The ceremony is performed by the priest. Not long after, all three are captured by McLeod’s Indians, whom he has put on the girl’s trail. They are taken to McLeod’s house where Brandt is tortured, and Julie held a prisoner. About this time, John CaT ibou, learning of the death of his friend Ledru, determines to avenge it. He pretends friendship for McLeod, who tells him to give Brandt a chance to escape with Julie, then to kill Brandt and bring Julie back to him. Caribou really helps the young pa r to make their getaway. Returning to McLeod, he tells him David Drandt is dead. On being told to produce the body, he leads the murderer to Ledru's grave, and there the Indian shoots and kills the Panther. Speaking ... THE... Public Mind WHY 10 CENTS FARE ON THE LAST CAR? To The Herald: I would like to know by what right the street railway company charges 10 cents to ride on the last car to the Hill, which leaves about midnight? Who regulates such matters, is it city council or the railroad commission of Georgia? Does the railway company have to pay the motorman and con ductor on that last car any more than they do the other motormen and con ductors? Is It any more expensive to use power at that time of night than other times? Is the wear and tear on the cars greater after midnight than before? The Georgia railroad might as well charge more fare to Atlanta on tlie train that leaves here at 2 o’clock each morning than the other trains. It strikes me as being the most utterly absurd proposition I have ever heard of, and I wonder why the people will continue to stand for it. SUBSCRIBER. SHE WANTS TO CHLOROFORM HER POOR OLD CAT.
