GIFTS AND SENSE (Chatham Ncws A needy family in Brantford is re- \ 3 ported to have rejected a load of cord- wood because it was not cut and split. Possibly the family was not desery- ing of assistance; there are people like that and they do harm to those who are really in need by hardening the hearts of general people. But it is also possible that the family was in such a condition that a load of wood of cordwood length could not be used. There are such gifts. There must be a lot of money ex- pended at this season of the year in the sending of gifts that serve no use- ful purpose. The ideal gift is one which takes into account the needs and desires of the recipient as well as the sentiment of the giver. BOWMANVILLE WOMAN INJURED IN RAILWAY SMASH MAY RECOVER Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 26.--While Christmas came and went, Mrs. Georgia Hardy of Bowmanville, Ont., fought for life.

Romer, police chief, was instantly killed about noon Saturday, his life sacrificed in place of the lives of Mrs. Arnold Biele and her four children. Arnold Biele, running amuck as Christmas dinner was being pre- pared, is in jail here after his family fled from their home, and he insti- tuted a reign.of terror on residence streets, when he ran about with a loaded weapon, after killing Romer. He was finally captured by Chief Charles McDonald and a garage em- ploye as he threatened to shoot both of them. Romer visited the Biele's home unarmed in response to a call from neighbors. He was killed instantly by five bullets from Biele's six shooter. Biele then marched up the street, taking aim and firing at two persons only to have the gun miss fire. In the meantime hig wife and children had escaped to safety gat the home of neighbors. esa A MYSTERIOUS LOCALITY (Youth's Companion) Two men who had travelled were comparing their ideas about foreign cities.

In the adult library the taste is formed and little remains to the librarian but to try and satisfy the readers by supplying the books they appreciate. n the juvenile department the con- ditions are quite different, the child's mind is open and unprejudiced he can appreciate good literature quite as well as bad. It is imperative therefore that he should be given nothing but the best. The following are some of the additions made this year all of which we strongly recommend. For the very little children old fash- ioned fairy stories animal stories and fables form the chief diet. 'Aesop's Fables' Hawthorne's 'Tanglewood Tales' Andersen's and Grimm's fairy tales and 'Old Norse Tales' supply the folklore, it is advisable when not too expensive to buy the animal stories and picture books illustrated by the best artists, Boutct de Monvel's Joan of Arc' 'Old Mother Goose' by Fallis and Louis Crane's 'Book of Cheerful Cats' are among the best of these. Some excellent boy's stories which can be enjoyed by girls too are as follows 'The Cruise of the Cachalot' by Bul- len, Dana's 'Two years before the Mast' Finger's 'Tales from Silver Lands The Life of Daniel Boone, 'Jan o' the Windmill' by Ewing 'Hans Brinker' the tale of the little Dutch boy. 'Heidi' by 'Spyri' a tale of the Swiss moun- tains is a beautiful girl's story, so tbo are 'Anne of Green Gables' | 'Slow Coach' by Lucas "The Pererkin Papers' by E. O. Hal. Tanan's 'In the days of Queen Elizabeth'. Many of the class- ics are read almost exclusively by children now, Cervantes 'Don Quixote' Swift's 'Guliver's travels." 'The Swiss family Robinson' have taken up there permanent quarters there and trans- lations of the Iliad and Odyssey are much more in demand below stairs than above. Some of our best modern authors such as John Masefield and E. V. Lucas write largely for children. The charming verses of Milne' when we were very young Stevenson's 'Child's Garden of Verse' and Lear's Nonsense book' are written exclusively for them. Te animal books by Sea- ton and Roberts, Mrs. Oliphant's 'Bob, Son of Battle' Sewell's 'Black Beauty and Terhune's 'Lad a dog' flourish with unabated popularity in the children's section. This year has contributed scveral new classics to juvenile literature. 'Juan and Juanita' is a new edition of the adventures of two children in Mexico in the days of Indians. It has already been enjoyed by two genera- tions of children and is equally popular with the present one. The fine illus- trations and large print add to its popularity. Steffanson, the great ex- plorer of our North land, has written several talcs of adventure among the Eskimo, 'Kak, the copper Eskimo' and 'Northward ho. These are in great demand. A beautiful book called 'The Sailing Ship' by Romola Anderson traces this craft back through six thousand years of history, the text is accompanied by illustrations of ships of all ages and all countries. 'Mod- ern Aladdins and their Magic' by Char les Rush describes the history and development of familiar objects of everyday life. It is related in a con- cise and interesting manner and is well illustrated. 'Shen of the Shea' contains short stories of Chinese people all arc delightfully told with humor and sprightliness. Padriac Colum"s 'Forge in the Forest' is a book A Dress of Distinction Dignity and smartness are combined in this charming frock of moire. The front of the bodice is joined to the skirt and the back is in one piece. The deep V opening, shawl collar, and plaited apron tunic, are becoming features and give the much coveted slenderizing lines. The vestee and lower section of the sleeves add a smart note of color contrast. NO. 1461 is in sizes 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 inches bust. Size 38 re- quires 3% yards 39-inch moire, and 5% vard 36-inch contrasting for sleeves and vestee. 20 cents. Every woman's desire is to achieve that smart different appearance which draws favorable comment from the observing public. The designs illustrated in our new Fashion Book are originated in the heart of the style centers and will help you to acquire that much desired of legends old and new, told with a rare skill which emphasizes its roman- tic beauty.

PETERBORO DEFEATS NORTH TORONTO 7-1 Toronto, Dec. 27.--The champion Peterboro team makes its first ap- pearance of the O.H.A. season in Toronto tonight, meeting Marlboros in a regular scheduled senior fix- ture. The '"'Dukes" will be much stronger for this game than they were against Varsity Grads last week, having signed Carl Voss, sensational defence player of last winter's Kingston, junior O. H. A. champions, and Bob Stephenson, Canada Cycle hockey star, and la- crosse player of the Weston Club. Both Voss and Stephenson will play tonight, with Voss starting on the outer guard with Jim Crompton. Coach Frank Selke, will 'use the same strong front line as opposed the Grads with Joe Primeau at centre. Fred Heintzman, left wing, and Johnny McPherson, right wing, Stephenson will be one of the re- lief players, with the other selected from Alex. Park, Jim Sanders, and Red Foster. Bert Hodges will not be available for this game, Petes as Strong as Ever That the Petes are as strong, if not stronger than last season was amply demonstrated Thursday night, when they defeated North Toronto, conquerors of the Toronto Canee Club, 7 to 1 in their first league game. Hakold Parker, 4njured in the .group finals last February, did not play against Jim McFadyen's team, but Ray Rose, who took Par- ker's place on the defence, accord- ing to all reports turned in a mag- nificent game, and he likely will team up with Bert McLeod in the same position tonight. Ed. Wright, Petes' manager, is using Bogardis on right wing, and the former Barrie boy is making good at filling the vacancy left when Irvin Bailey jumped to the pros. Ken. Kane, last season with St. Mary's, and Williams, a graduate from the junior ranks, are the new players with = the champions. Wil- liams promises 'to become one of the season's stars. Both he and Kane work effectively with the Yetsran forwards, Ranger and Col- ins. The teams will line-up as follows: Peterboro--Dwyer. goal; Rose and McLeod, defence; Collins, centre; Ranger, l. wing; Bogardis, r. wing; subs., Kane and Williams. Marlboros--Stark, goal; Voss and Crompton, defence; Primeau, centre; Heintzman, 1. wing; J. MacPherson, r. wing; subs, Stephenson and San- ders or Park. Referee--Herb Matthews. UNION NO. 5 S.S.

McClennan, gave the alarm which saved the whole community of bargemen, including their wives and children, in all 125 persons, from the dangerous reefs and icy waters of the East River carly Sunday morning. The fireboat, with the aid of a tughoat made the rescue. The bargemen and their families were aboard a fleet of 26 barges that slip- ped their moorings at the foot of East Nineth-sixth street and headed for the dark, swirling waters of Hell Gate when Peggy gave the alarm. Fireboat Crew Asleep While the crew of the fireboat Mc- Clennan were asleep, the dog leaped through an open hatch to the icy deck and began to sniff the morning air. Sreams of women and children cut through the gloom and the still- ness. Peggy began to howl. Sheé be- came frantic. She ran to and fro upon the deck till the patter of her feet beat «a reveille Barking and whining, the dog quickly caused Fire Lieutenant John Hughes to poke his head out the hatch to see what was wrong. Licutenant Hughes also heard the screams of the frightened women and children and the shonts of the barge- men, whose craft were adrift. From the decks of the McClennan, tied up at the foot of East Ninety-ninth strect, he strained his eyes through the grey mist and sleet and made out the long string of barges drifting out. Licutenant Hughes quickly roused his' 16 men aboard the McClellan and set out in jursuit of the barges. When the McClellan began to overhaul the fleet of barges Hughes saw that they were headed toward Millrock, on which stands a Government engincer's station. Several hundred feet to the north of Millrock is Hog's Back Reef, and to the north of the reef is Ward's Island. Gives Siren Alarm The firechoat McClellan sounded alarms with her sirens and brought aid from the tugboat Frank A. Furst of the Arandel Corporation of Balti- more. The fireboat changed her posi- tion and crept around to the lee side, where she attached a line to the drift- ing barges. The tug made a line fast to. the string of barges farther back. The barges were lashed three abreast and' towed to safety. DOCTOR EXPOSES STORY OF DEATH Young Man Lost Life, and Coroner of County is Censored Owen Sound, Dec. 24. James Elder of Allenford, years of age, came to his death by being struck by a stray bullet from a rifle in the hands of some persen un- known to the jury on Nov. 5, 1924, in the Algoma woods near Lake Georgia, and that the Coroner of Grey County was very lax in his duties in that he failed to make a more thorough examination of the body on its arrival in Owen Sound several days later, was the gist of the verdict rendered by the jury empanelled by Coroner Dr. J. A. Ranney of Chesley at Tava. This inquest was held following a thorough investigation condu-ted by Provincial Constable Denton at the request of County Crown Attorney T. H. Dyre after a demand had been made for it by Benjamin Elder, father of the young man, who was shot, to the Attorney-General. The story told to Coroner Dr. Dow of Owen Sound on the arrival of the hunters here wag that Elder's rifle had expleded and the bullet had antered his right side and had also injured his wrist. : Dr. William Hammond of Allen- 'ord, while he would not ctate posi tively that it was his shot that was responsible for Elder's death, told the jury.that he believed that to be the case, as he shot at a deer which was on a dead line with a ciump of bushes in which Elder was hiding, the first shot. missing the deer. It was just a short itme after this that Elder was found in the bushes with the bullet through his body. Several of the witnesses, nearly all told of having agreed to tell the explosion story. The case created much interest, and the hall where the inquest was held was crowded to the doers, al- though the shooting occurred over two years ago. County Crown At- torney J. F. Freeborn of Walker- ton examined the witnesses. It is That ' 25 understood Mr. Freeborn will make hig report to the Attorney-General, .
