Is Test of Horn's Charity. It has been said many times be fore, but It wliriiear repeating The strength of sll these funds depends In the last analysis not on the written appeal, but on the amount of human sympathy existing In a community for those who find themselves backed up against tho wall at Christmas time and must turn to society. Ii depends upon how far the plight of the destitute and the penniless home to the well-fed and contented at .1 time of great prosperity, when all the great business houses are dividing unheard-of bonuses, it Is a sort of spirit level which tells us bow "true" the Christmas spirit runs In Brooklyn, for surely there can be no more pressing emergency for which lo ask the aid of neighbors.

Isn't It fair to gauge the civic spirit by the response to such an So for the last time but one HrooklynPes are asked to get In on the fight and complete the very nnm- Inal figure, smaller than is being asked In any similar appeal In this great and rich city. The Kncle Is merely the clearing house the tund. Here the amount Is counted up nnd then it goes direct to relief work and for no other purpose. Little Cheer Is Hot When you know that your dollars go to buy clothing, to provide medicine, the pay the landlord, to purchase food for the undernourished then you know that you are giving a real Christinas present, which means much more than all the costly baubles In which you might line si. You knoW then that you are doing your part to build up families In days when so many are speaking about the perils tending to break down the home and that yon are doing something constructive in our own town, as opposed to the destructive Influences abroad in the world today.

Is or Is it not worth while s' Christmas to put good rich blood in the half-starved bodies of little children whose faces are pinched by poverty? Is it or Is it not In the real spirit of Christmas to make it Impossible for homes nnd families to ho swallowed In the quicksands In the year coming? There Is nnlj one way that you cm realize to tho full what the plight of the neediest means and that Is to put yourselves In their places and try to imagine what it would mean If it were your own children, your own V.l?u"t nt our 1 i 4 ft. i ft. 4 ft Will Fight ing Ifi national hank for pavment checks that were wnrihte-s was placed on trial Ills plea before lb lury was Ihst lite cheeks were really loan In which checks were use, I tnnead of 'he uMjal legni forms for such Charlie llonlev was in poidtton to inskn A bank loan lo ft-'iles but st lie time of the lrl.il llooley wus llltoslng.

With tho sanction nf the Canadian Government and the aid of the Hudson's H.iv Company, she obtained a rullertlon of legends and historical facts as well as valuable photographs of their ceremonials, totem poles and present day industries. It Is because of the expeditions of the two following years that Canada honors tho former Miss Jobe.

It was In 1911 that she explored and made a partial ascent of a big unexplored glacial "hiounfaJn, the predominant northernmost peak In the Canadian Hackles.

On her second expedition to the big unknown mountain, since named Mt. Sir Alexander, she first explored the mountain which has now become her namesake. She spent 70 days In the wilderness, exploring the new mountain and Its many glaciers, at tem perature sometime 80 degrees be low zero.

Father O'Brien was engaged for more than 25 years In mission work In this country and Canada, and was stationed at monasteries at Boston, Scranton, Dunkirk, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Paul, Kansas. He was born at Nlles, Ohio, In July, 1872. The Duchess Torlonia (Mar? KHse Moore of Brooklyn) will not make her home In this country as the old friends of her father, the Into Charles A. Moore, had surmised, following her separation from the Duke.

The Duchess said thnt she and her three children will return to Italy In a year. Wearing a black frock made on severe lines, with a string of pearls wound threo times about her throat, the Duchess, who Is more than six feet tall and very slender, Is a strikingly handsome woman with aquiline features, blue eyes and ruddy brown hair. "It was not the Duke, who obtained the separation" she explained. "It wus entirely amicable. No.

COUNTY POLICE SEE ARREST IN MURDER OF PENNOYER GUARD But Glen Cove Authorities Regard Clayton Mystery as Closed. "The murder of Carl Clayton will bo solved, but It will take a lot of hard work to do It.

Interesting developments are being uncovered every day. We have been more than surprised at some of the things we have learned, and when the matter la Anally sifted down, as It will be, those Interested In the death of this man VIII be found close at hand. It Is one of the dirtiest cases that has ever come to the attention of the local police." This was the statement of a police official of Nassau County who has ssslsted In trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the shooting and killing of Carl Clayton at the entrance to the P. O. Pennoyer estate at Glen Cove, I on the night of Oct.

JO. The Nassau County police are working on the case at the request of District Attorney Weeks. No official of the City of Glen Cove has ever asked the co-opcratlon of the county police. In fact, the Glen Cove officials have not yet notified the county officials that Clayton has died. Contrasted with the above state ment Is one made by William Cocks city Judge and coroner for the City of Glen Lovo, as follows: "Will Let It nest." "The Clayton murder? No, there Is nothing new In that case, and there will not be.

We will et It rest until after the first of the year, and when It Is forgotten I will hold an Inquest and that will be the end of It." "Why has no Inquest been held before this?" he was asked. "That might Interfere with the work of the District Attorney, who, I understand. Is working on the case," answered Judge Cocks. Chief of Police Donohue of Glen Cove does not expect thnt the Clay ton tnurder mystery will ever be solved. Neither does his superior officer.

Commissioner of Public Safety Welden. Both of those men regard the case as closed. They are doing nothing, according to their own statements, to uncover the motive for the killing. Donohue de clares that Clayton was shot by a negro robber. Welden thinks that possibly Clayton was shot by someone In an automobile.

Both ore satisfied to leave the matter In the hands of dotectives from the Burns Deieotlve Agency. J. J. CANNING APPOINTED CLCWf. TN A NIGHT COURT Appointment of John J.
