Note: Since the lesson committee/ haa suggested the birth of Jesus, <% Christmas lesson, as an alternative feat this day, doubtless for most classes It will be desirable to use the Christmas lesson and substitute the alternative lesson for the review on December 29* The birth of the Saviour occurred at a most propitious time. The need was great, for the system a of morals and religion were tottering upon their foundation?. It was also a time of great opportunity, for the whole world was under one rule, making it possible for evangelists to go from city to city and country to country without fear or molestation. The place of his blrtb: was Bethlehem, as the prophet had foretold some seven hundred years before (Micah 5:2). God permitted the emperor to enforce a decree of taxation Just at the time to cause Mary to be at Bethlehem when she gave birth to the Saviour. That which the Word of God haa announced shall most surely come to pass, though its fulfillment seem most unlikely and "unreasonable. The surroundings of his birth were the most humble sort. The Almighty Creator condescended to take upon himself humanity—to be born in a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be hindered from coming to him. 1. The Saviour's Birth Announced (2:8-14). 1. To Whom—Shepherds (v. 8). Ia the first Christmas service the audience was composed of humble shepherds. The glorious gospel messagewas first sounded forth to these humble men while watching over their flocks by night. Poverty Is no barrier to the reception of the gospel message. God does not reveal himself mainly tc* the princes and great men of the earth. "Hath not God chosen the poor of thla world, rich In faith and heirs of the. kingdom?" (James 2:5). Neither didi their, devotion to their calling exclude them from this greatest favor of God. Moses, Gideon, Amos and Elisha were# called by the Lord from the busy activities of life. He never calls theidle. The Lord has no use for a lazy man. The working man is God's peculiar interest 2. By Whom—The Angel of the Lord! (v. 9). The first gospel sermon waa delivered by the angel of the Lord. Angels, the exalted ministers of God are Interested in men (Hebrews 1:14)-, and this one announced unto men God's plan of salvation. These beings no doubt sincerely sympathized with poor, sin-cursed, fallen men. 3. The Message—Good Tidings (v* 10). (1) A Saviour is born. Surely this was a gladsome message. Heath* en darkness which had so long cursed the earth was beginning to vanish* The casting out of Satan, the prince of the world, was .about to take place (John 12:31). Liberty was about to be proclaimed to those in bondage t o sin. The way of salvation was about to be opened to all. So glorious waa this news that a multitude of the lieae> enly host accompanied this announcement with their song of praise, -if- is through Jesus Christ that Go^S kittdness and good will are made known to> man. (2) Peace (v. 14). Peace wt*!i God—peace of heart—peace with man. How incongruous this message with our time! The world war was the NK suit of not receiving this blessed sage. (3) Joy (v. 1 0 ) / t h e message is a Joyful message because 1 frees from sin and removes all theT burdens of this world. It.

Now -advancing, now driven back, the Americans fought from street to street and back again. -Machine guns opened fire*| seized It. Through all that nightmare Mark fought at the head *f his company, looking like a madman, as they said of him afterward. When he came to himself at last he found himself, unwounded, save for his bleeding arm, from which the bandage had long since -fallen, and in command of a battalion. They had driven the Germans from the last house of the village. The delay had saved the day. The reserves Tiad come pouring in. On the ridge beyond the enemy was marshaling for a last counter-attack. Mark looked about him. Lieutenants, •captains who should have commanded -companies, mingled with privates and noncoms, were following, as if hypnotized, this middle-aged private with the red cross on his arm. As Mark looked tils heart swelled with the consciousness and pride of leadership. And, at his glance, a roar went up that was caught up from man to man and sent -echoing into the distance. And Mark was swept away with unconquerable enthusiasm. It was his <Iay, the day of which every soldier •dreams. "Come along, boys! Break them up!" he shouted, and ran forward. With one resounding cheer the lines flwept after him. A ripple of mnchlnegun fire caught them, but could not hold them. Over the fallen they pressed on, cries of triumph upon their lips, the faces, set above the gleamlug bayonets, animated by a single purpose. And now they were upon them. Mark fought In the bloody swirl. Blades thrust at him, bullets tore his tattered uniform. Once he was down, and he saw a giant rush at him with •clubbed rifle. He raised his arm, he tried to drive with his sword, lunsed and missed. Then the uplifted rifle fell harmlessly beside him, and the Slant fell forward, dead, over him, pinning him to the ground, and covering him with his blood. A bayonet thrust t a d passed clean through his body. -And* booking up bewildered, Mark thought he saw Hartley's face look Into his own. Next moment Mark was on his feet again, and Hartley had vanished. But already the last tussle was over. The iSennans broke and fled. Mark -stood still, gasping. The men wore crowding all about him, waving their helmets on bayonet points, cheering him, shaking his hand. Across the field two mounted men were riding. They came up to the ridge, and one, a •hatred old officer, leaped to the and wrung Mark's hand, ftanks—our country's thanks to r* he cried.

Even as he kissed her in return he saw the startled glance that she cast behind her, and, following it with his eyes, he saw a tall figure in uniform emerge from the recesses of the orifice; and again he stood face to face with Kellerman. Eleanor released him and stood, still clinging to him, at his side, her hand drawn through his arm. The contrast between the two men was extraordinary. Kellerman looked as if he had just stepped Into his uniform; his gloved hands, his adjusted belt, the creases in his tunic were those of the fashion-plate. Looking at Mark, he saw a dirty, grimed, almost unrecognizable figure, with uniform that hung about him in great tatters, blotched and stained with blood. "You said he would not come backV* cried Eleanor. "You see he has come back. What have you to say more?" "You misunderstood me, Eleanor—" "I understand you now for the first time in my life. I liked you, Major Kellerman. I trusted you and 1 believed in you. When you told me that you were working to get Captain Wallace his recognition I was glad, and proud of you both, and happy. What did you do?" "What did he do?" cried Kellerman furiously. "Why "should you believe evil things of me, because he said them—" "He never spoke one word against you!" "When the decision has already been made by an impartial court, anxious to clear a soldier's character, if that were possible?" "Because I have a woman's instinct, Major Kellerman." "Enough of this," Interposed Mark. "What are you doing here, sir?" He snapped the last word out in irony so bitter that Kellerman winced. "So you've cheated the firing party, Private Weston \u he said, with his habitual sneer. "O, call me Mark while you're about it," answered Wallace. "Or please remember that I am no longer under your command, nor a soldier in the American army. Technically I am a dead man, Major Kellerman, and dead men—" "Tell no tales, eh?" responded Kellerman savagely. "Well, here we stand man to man, and the conditions warrant phtln speaking. It is not my business to place you under arrest. But, If I do so, you are aware that your life will be worth about five minutes' purchase. So go, Mr. Weston, or Wallace, or whatever you call yourself now. Go —if Miss Eleanor here soys tire one word that will set you free. Go—and in this confusion you will have a reasonable chance to escape, with those ready wits of yours." "The one word?" Eleanor gasped. "The one word 'yes'," responded Kellerman. "I will never become your wife, Major Kellerman." MSo you told me the other day, after leading we to suppose that it was your intention," answered Kellerman easily. "Stop, Mr. Weston, if you please, and let me finish. War doesn't leave much sentimentality in a man. We know what life is worth, and we know that life's a matter of bargaining. When we were in America I might have accepted my dismissal, Eleanor. But here we three stand under the naked heaven, like ants on a hill. All artificial distinctions have fallen away. Fve loved you for many months, Eleanor, and I want to marry yon. That's the bald truth of if. In order to persnade you, I am willing to let this gentleman escape— to facilitate his escape, even to make our marriage dependent on my success. That's fair, isn't it? And, what have you against met Is i t my fault that he was court-martialed and sentenced to death for striking an officer?" The man's effrontery took Mark's breath away. "My answer," responded Eleanor steadily, "is •no/ And even if you could send him to his death it would still be •no.* Because he himself would wish that But you can't barm him. Something convinces me that all the harm that baa come to him baa come from you. And it telle me, too, that your power baa ended. *No,'is my answer," -And youre, Mr. Westonr asked Kettermaa, looking at Mark. Marie, aaabte to reply, pointed toward the ojptaaeg of the racen.

It was that, I believe, which made you think it your duty to follow your adopted father's unit to the front. I think you ought to know who you are. Your father died on the battlefield of Santiago. He was a fugitive from Justice. He was the notorious Hampton." Mark uttered a cry. He sprang toward Kellerman, but Kellerman dealt him a blow that sent him stumbling among the bricks. "That's a He, Kellerman!" said Colonel Howard quietly. The old Colonel's eyes were wide open. He laid his hands laboriously upon the edge of the brlcfc wall and, with a great effort, raised himself to his feet. "That's a He," he repeated "It is no lie, Colonel Howard. You told the whole story to Captain Wallace in the hospital tent. Never mind how I know. I know." "You damned, dirty spy 1" said the old Colonel. "A confession," answered Kellerman blandly. "Your words were strong ones, Colonel Howard. Deny them if you can. You said, 'A thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime.' You said 'it was calculated, coldblooded deliberation.' You said, 'The case against Hampton was absolutely prpven. He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago. He was born rotten. He sold his country to pay his gambling debts.' And you called him by the worst name one man can call another. That was why you tried to persuade Mark Wallace not to adopt Hampton's child. Like father, like daughter." He swung round upon Eleanor, and for the first time seemed to lose his self-control. "That's who you are!" he cried. "The child of a wretched traitor, who worked in the war department with Colonel Swept on Into the Main Street, Mark Leading Them. Howard and me, a man without honor, entangled with a wretched woman spy, who sold our secrets. And that man— your adopted father, whom you love and revere, spied on him in turn, watched him, read his letters, went through his pockets, snared him, trapped him, brought him to his dete& e—and adopted you." Eleanor staggered toward the Colonel, her arras raised imploringly, and cried for a choking voice: "Say It's untrue 1 Only say that It's untrue!" I t ' s a damned lie," said the Colonel; but there was not the least conviction fh hie voice. •Tell me the truth V* "It's true, then—it's more or 1 true," said Howard wearily. "It's not t r u e r shouted Mark. "Remember, Colonel, the man*f face had been practically blown away. How do we know that It w a s Hampton who was with the child?

"Tell me what you think, Cuptain Mark," she pleaded. And once more Mark was mute. She read his face as if by inches. She turned toward Kellerman. "Now will you go?" she asked. Kellerman saluted her with mock formality. "I'll go," he said, "but he's spent his chance. A spy's daughter and a spy's—" The ambulance bearers appeared at the entrance to the recess. They bore a stretcher. Propped up in it, swathed in a bloody clout of bandages, wus Hartley. "There he Is!" he cried, pointing his hand in triumph. "I knew he'd come this way. He's here, sir 1" he cried to some one outside the orifice. The stretcher bearers set down their burden on a ledge of the wall. Into the little place strode the General. His appearance there exercised a parading effect upon ihem all. Kel- Jerman was the first to recover his selfpossession. He saluted stiffly, "This man," he said, pointing to Mark, "is the prisoner who was to have been executed this morning." The General, without a word, strode toward Mark and clasped him by the hand. Ketyerman gulped and moved toward the entrance for the last time. The General turned. "Halt, sir!" he commanded. "Colonel Howard, will you have the goodness to go to the man on the—why, I beg your pardon, Colonel! Not badly hurt?" "Nothing much, sir," answered the Colonel, attempting to make the passage. The General gave him his arm and assisted him, and, when he stood still, placed one arm about him to steady him. "Do you recognize that man?" he asked. The Colonel stiffened; Kellerman fell back against the wall. "As I'm a living man," cried Colo< nel Howard, "it's Hampton !" C H A P T E R X V I I . Hartley sat up on the stretcher and fixed his eyes on Howard's face. It was evident that he was desperately wounded. One of the orderlies kneeled beside him and held him. "This man." said the General, chewing at his mustache in emotion which he could not altogether hide, "was once an oflieer in the service of our country. He was engaged in confidential work in the war department. lie was accused of espionage—unjustly accused." With a low cry Eleanor rushed forward and kneeled beside the stricken man; she placed her arms about him and drew his head down upon her shoulder, looking piteously into the weary eyes. Hampton raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. "Unjustly accused," repeated the General. "Major Kellerman, stand to attention, sir! You shall be heard later. He was the victim of the System, which was even then laying its plans In Washington, He was the victim of a woman named Marsheim— Hilda Morsheim, whose activities were well known, though we could then do nothing to counteract them. She made a specialty of luring young officers into gambling dens, winning lqjge sums from them, and thus leading them down the slope toward disgrace and death. "She had a confederate who was highly placed in the war department. When, by their united. efforts, they failed to make a traitor of Captain Hampton, they compassed his ruin. How they did so I need not describe now, The facts are of record; It is enough to say that they succeeded. Hampton*was driven into exile; but they were not satisfied with that. They broke his career, they drove him from the company of all decent men. But that was not enough. They broke bis wife's heart; she died. They made his name one of execration. Still they were not satisfied. With devilish in* genuity they sought to cover their tracks by making it appear that Hampton was stilt carrying on his trade, still selling government secrets. You aee why, Colonel t" he continued, turning to "Howard. "Because they themselves were continuing their vile work, and the new leakages bad to be accounted tor."

As the army and navy were the will of the nation mobilized for victory in war. so is the Red Cross the soul of the nation mobilized far sendee in poace. Even after the formal terms of peace are signed it will take months, even yc»rs, for our present work to be completed. The sober task of withdrawal cannot keep pace with the tense strain of the accomplishment when first we rushed our mighty army Mross the water to save the liberty of the world. We have two and a quarter millions of men oversea*, flung there with undreamed of speed. It will take three times as long to bring them bock. So long as one regiment remains, the Red Cross, as always, WILL STAND BY. All over our land there are soldiers' homes in need of information, of counsol. of sympathy and comfort Until the boys come home, until all these families are reunited, the Red Cross. as usual, WILL STAND BY. On a hundred hard-fought fields there are heroes' graves to be identified, marked and honored1—and here at home are thousands of hearts to be comforted by the knowledge of where -their loved ones are sleeping.

PLAN FOR MORE CENTRAL BODIES One of Country's Needs, Says Secretary of Agriculture in Recent Statement, ST ENSTHEN FARM BUREAUS War^Proved Power of Organizations That Plan Farm Work in Communities— More Than a Million Members Enrolled. One of the points of strength in America's agricultural organization has been found during the war to be central organizations of farmers to plan and develop the best methods of fanning for their region. That these alike, and acting as a clearing house for every other association interested in work with rural people. Its primary purposes are : (1) To bring to the agent the counsel and advice of the be^t farmers in the county as to what ought to be done and how to do it. (2) To provide an organization for easily and quickly reaching every community in the county with information of value to that community or to the county as a whole. (3) To provide a plan for organized self-help, enlisting the co-operation of all fanners interested in carrying out a county agricultural program of work. Membership is open to all residents of the county directly Interested in agriculture, men and women alike. A small memberbhip fee (usually $1) Is charged.

The perfecting of this organization is highly desirable, not only during the continuance of the present abnormal conditions, but also for the future. The local, ns well as the state and federal agencies, are of supreme importance to the nation in all its activities designed to make rural life more profitable, healthful and attractive, and, therefore, to secure adequate economic production, efficient distribution and necessary conservation." Supporting County Agent Work. The county organizations, known as county councils, county bureaus of agriculture, or farm bureaus, often employ a county and a home demonstration agent and aid them rn their work. They usually are composed of farmerg and others in the county interested In agriculture. At present there are more than 1,000,000 farmers who are members of organizations assisting the county agent ia his work. In the South. In the South special emphasis is laid upon eottmosfty organisations of fanners. These are increasing rapi d ] / *sttd Involve the work among Den, woman and children.

Times without number, wells have been sunk to great depths In the belief that eventually a plentiful supply would be reached, only to find that water was not there, or that it was unfit for use, or that a mere hole or sump had been created which served but to drain water from relatively near the surface. There is no short cut and no better guide in this matter than information as to the kind, thickness, porosity, and dip of the strata of the region and of the results obtained in neighboring wells, study of the land slopes and character of the vegetation, and examination for evidences of seeps and springs. Regarding the use of a forked willow, hazel, or peach stick for locating underground water, it can be said safely the method Is without merit, although so-called forked-stick artists from their experience and observation of surface conditions usually are bet* ter able to Judge of the probabilities FOES SEEK TO HALT ALLIES ALONG RHINE GERMANS ARE TAKEN ALL POSSIBLE MEASURES TO HAVE ALLIE8 HALTED EAST OF RHINE. ALLIES MAY OCCUPY MUNICH At Behest of Entente We Disarmed Ourselves and Are Ready to Take Our Consequences Says Philip Scheidermann. Amsterdam.—Herr Kuckhoff, writing in the Koelnische Volkszeitung, protests against "illegal and arbitrary action" of the Ebert government in making impossible assembling of the reichstag, which he says has not been dissolved. The Berliner Tageblatt Says. "All possible measures must be talten to prevent Foch's armies marching into Germany east of the Rhine. The reichstag is the only assembly with mandate to speak in the name of the people." Scheidemann Takes Blame. Copenhagen.—"At behest of the Entente, we disarmed ourselves and we are ready to take the consequences," Philop Scheidemann, German majonty socialist leader, declared in an interview with the Berlin corcespondent of the Berlinske Tidende.

Jenkins, who had gone to the store that sold everything, happened to notice, while the assistant was serving him, a dollar lying on the floor near by his foot—a whole round, silver dollar. Quivering with excitement and glancing cautiously round to see that no one was watching him, he dropped —quite accidentally, of course—one of his gloves oij top of the coin, Thea, bending, he proceeded to pick up his glove; but the dollar did not accompany it. The elusive coin still remained where it was—upon the floor. He made a second attempt to get hold of it, but with the same result. Then, just as he was contemplating the wisdom of a third endeavor, a salesman came up to him and said: VGood evening, s i r ! May I be allowed to show you a bottle of our fa-r mous liquid glue? As, no doubt, you are aware, its sticking powers—" But Jenkins had fled.

Waistlines Are Capricious; Sleeves of Various Styles; Supply of Silk Is Wondrous; Woolens Limited. Everywhere one sees new clothes. At first glance they seem quite like the mode of yesterday—and one resolves with firmness to wear the things left over. One looks again, relates a writer in Harper's Bazar, and discovers a difference which lies not in the outlines but in a host of clever, artfully planned details—and one's resolution flies on wings. ID style all frocks are slim and simple— or at least they give that Impression. The skirts are of the well-known "hobble" type, but they have all the delights and one of the regrets of the hobble we used to struggle with so valiantly. Instead of the uncomfortably close confines of other days, the new skirts are so skillfully folded and draped that though the slender lines are scrupulously maintained, the wearer has plenty of room in which to brave the curbstones! Waistlines are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with their length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal. -Of girdles there are a-plenty. If one would have the swathing kind ;—nnd one surely will—remember that it begins at the normal waistline and is draped to give the effect of a long, slender waist. Sleeves, always a law unto themselves, are long and tight at times, again only three-quarters. Some are drnped and some are "bells;" some are banded with fur and some with heavy material. Though the straight neckline is still much liked, distinctive col- GOWN FOR AFTERNOON WEAR NOVEL SKATING SET OF SILK This Is a decidedly novel and smartlooking skating set of smoke-gray silk duvetyn with a cross bar design of navy chenille.

And never were there such wondrous silken stuffs.! Wools there are—rough homespuns, duvetyns, velours and jerseys—for suits and wraps that one may wear without a qualm, for the materials were manufactured and purchased long before there was any question of conservation. The supply, of course, is limited, and the tariff proportionately high. AMONG NEW VEILS AND HATS Close Face Covering Is Invariably Worn by Majority of Well- Dressed American Women. Volumes could be written about the veil of the well-dressed American woman of today. Without the invariable close veil she never ventures abroad in the daylight hours. One sees scarcely three smart flowing veils—If, of course, one excepts the motor veil— during the entire season. All the possibilities of a veil are only realized by one who has experimented with various kinds and colors. It was to the veil that accompanied it that might be ascribed much of the effectiveness of the little hat of henna-brown satin recently seen, says Vogue. A wisp of darker brown feathers shot almost directly back from the left side of the brim, and a dark-brown tracery veil gave wonderful tints to the wearer's delicately bronzed skin. A sable cape thrown over the shoulders completed this harmony of warm brown. There is a distinct predominance of small hats in the smart autumn millinery. Satin, velvet and beaver are among the most popular materials, and these assume soft dark tones, such as dull blue, gray, taupe and brown. The new henna brown, which is a shade bordering on terra cotta, while consider ably in evidence In autumn costumes, has not to any Important degree invaded the field of millinery.

Fow art Quilted Velvet on Hats. Quilted velvet is used for both crown and brim of some of tho autumn hats. One specially effective hat, of taupe valour, Is made in a modified tricorne shape, with the three-sided brim only slightly rolled up. A third of the brim is of heavily quilted and paoied velvet, and a wing is fastened dat against the upper aide of the brim just at the edge of the quilted part. Smocking and shirring, as well as quilting and padding* are used In other new models. The hats so treated are usually rather large, soft shapes. the sake of shape and for decorative ness. * Another remedy for the harsh crown difficulty, and one almost nniversa 11 j becoming, Is to replace half the std* of the crown and the lid with th« more yieldy material.

FOUND WHAT CHARM NEEDED <**im. Magician Finally Discovered Just What Was Lacking in Magic That insured Happiness. An old legend tells of a magician who claimed that he had found how to make a charm to insure happiness. Then as pupils flocked to him he set them to making a small lnosakor picture out of various tiny colored stones. Bach stone represented a single one of the elements that muke up happiness. When the mosaicwas done it was to be a charm that woiild insure happiness for all the rest of Ufe. But, alas! though the mosaic was put together ever so carefully, it did not work as he had planned. One after another his pupils left him in ^ a p - pointment, their faces as sad, their hearts as heavy, as when they came. "It must work!" sighed the magiclan. "I have studied the rules until I know I am right. I have just the right proportion of good -health, success, wealth, education, leisure and all the other things needed." Then 'one day oaiue a new pupil, who put together the mosaic of happiness, and when it was done he took it as a gift to a friend whom he loved. And this mosaic proved to have the desired charm, for it gave happiness both to the one who made It and the one who received it. "Ah!" said the magician. "I have found now what was missing in my happiness mosaic. It can become a sure charm only when it is made for others."

Texas, ha be gun shipping great crateful of the festive parasite to northern and east ern cities to supply the demands of holiday markets In the southwest the shrub blossoms in early October and the white berries are ripe by or shortly before December 1 Altogether, then are some eighty varieties of mistletoe it America While the southwest is its principle home it is found in forests along the Pacific coast, in New Mexico and Ari zona, and occasionally on the Atlantic coast Generally speaking, however, the northern limits for mistletoe in the United States are New Jersey, southern Ohio, Indiana Illinois, Missouri and eastern Oklahoma, according to Dr C C Buchholz, professor of botany at the University of Texa, and nationally known authority on parasitic plants Dr Buchholz says that of mistletoe through a generally considered to b bird lif of that vie in it mistletoe grows abundaiv also likely to be found in white berries, which contain the seeds of the mistletoe, are covered with a sticky pulp The birds eat the berries and subsequently distribute the seeds to other tree, frequently through their efforts to wipe the adhesive pulp from their beaks This sticky substance, in turn, pastes the seeds to the tree limbs, where they remain throughout the winter and germinate the following spring If the seed happen to have been pasted in a wound in the tree bark, or to have been situated where root sinkers might readily be sent into soft sap wood, there appears, in doie time, a sprig of mistletoe Climate agreeable, mistletoe once started is hard to check If its branches be broken off, new brandies fully as hardy will appear next season If the sprig be scraped to the very 1mb new sprigs will crop out in sev eral places along the branch So plentiful does mistletoe grow

fair Strangers who wish to see and down th be seen and especially be seen on rainy days, as well as on sunny days, in their visits to New York, should, as the phrase goes, patronize the Astor As if there was any patronage in getting the worth of your money Wellthe people in the room looked a little out of the windows, and a great deal at each other Unfortunately, it is only among angels and underbred persons that introductions can be dispensed with, and, as the guests of that day at the Astor House were mostly strangers to each other, conversation was very fitful and guarded, and any movement whatever extremely conspicuous There were four very silent ladies on the sofa, two very silent ladies in each of the windows, silent ladies on the barn, down by the river,4 and up in the

Kph, distrustfully Mercy on meto like pigs and chickens mentally ejaculated the disturbed and bewildered Mise Pifflit But with her two chicks pressed to her breast with one hand, Miss Hampton managed her coffee and bread and butter with the other, and chattered away like a child let out of school The air was so delicioas, and the hay smelled so sweet, and the trees in the meadow were so beautiful, and ther were no stiff Sidewalks and no brick houses and no iron railings, and so many dear speckled hens and funny little chickens, and kindlooking Miss Hampeon saw as little as possible of the inside of the boudoir The barn, and the troops of chickens, and all the outdoor belongings to the farm interested her daily, and with no diminution of her zeal She seemed, indeed, to have found her natural sphere in the simple and affectionate life which her friend Margerine held in such superfine contempt and Eph, who was the natural mate to such a spirit, and himself, in his own home, roost unconsciously worthy of love and admiration, gave himself up irresisti bly to his new passion And this new passion became apparent at last, to the incredulous eyes of his cousin And that it was timidly but fondly returned by her elegant and highbred friend, was also very apparent to Miss Pifflit And, after a few jealous struggles, and a night or two of weeping, she gave up to it old cows, and colts, and calves, and j tranquillyfor a city life, and a city ties she looked upon so contemptuously But the devil take her superciliousness, nevertheless It was a bitter morning to Eph fishing

unexpected agreeableness, but he was naturally too courteous not to give way to a ladys whims He put on his old straw hat and tied his handkerchief over his shoulder not to imi husband, truth to say,

for the air was temperate, and the whole country was laden with the smell of the new hay, which somehow or other, as everybody knows, never hinders or overpowers the prefume of the flowers Oh, that winding green lane between the bushes was like an avenue to Paradise The old cart jolted along through the ruts, and Miss Hampson, standing up, and holding on to old Farmer Bracely, watched the great oxen crowding their sides together, and looked off over the fields, and exclaimed, as she saw glimpses of the river between the trees, and seemed veritably and unaffectedly enchanted The old farmer,

wellgloved extremities of that mysterious and nameless beauty if she could have but sat with her back to her friends, and thrown her head languishingly over her shoulder without dislocating her neck if she could but have protruded from the flounce of her dress a foot more like a mincing little musselshell, and less like a jolly fat clam in brief, if she could have drawn out her figure like the

chintz and stuffed with wool, looked very like ottomans and with a handsome cloth on the round table, geraniums in the windows, and a chintz curtain to subdue the light, it was not far from a very charming boudoir, and Meg began to breathe more freely But Eph had heard this news with the blood hot in his temples, Was that proud woman coming again to look at him with contempt, and here too, where the rusticity, which he pre sumed to be the object of her scorn would be a thousand times more frag rant and visible And yet, with the entreaty on hislip that his cousin would refuse to receive her, his heart had checked the utterancefor an irresistible desire sprang suddenly with in him to set1 her, even at the bitter cost of tenfold his former mortificarf , But we have kept Miss Hampson

ceremoniousness of j py, however, a compact, athletic young man of 21,1 with clear, honest, blue eyes brown face where it was not shaded by the rim of his hat, curling brown hair, and an expression of fearless with waltzing Heated and tired at last, she made herself a seat, with the new hay, under a large elm, and, with her back to the tree, watched the labors of her companions Eph was a well built and manly figure, and all he did in the way of his vocation, he did with a fine display of muscular power, and a sculptor would have thought, no little grace Julia watched him as he stepped along after his rake on the elastic sward, and she thought, for the first time, what a very handsome man was young Bracely, and how much more finely a man looked when raking hay, than a dandy when waltzing And, for an hour, she sat watching his motion, ad miring the strength with which he pitched up the hay, and the grace and ease of all his movements and postures and after a while she began to feel drowsy with fatigue, and pull ing up the hay into a fragrant pillow, she lay down and fell fast asleep It was now the middle of the forenoon and the old farmer, who of late years had fallen into the habit of taking a short nap before dinner, came to the big elm to pick up his waistcoat and go home As he approached the tree he stopped and beckoned to his son Eph came up and stood at a little distance, looking at the lovely picture before him With one delicate hand under her cheek, and a smile of angelic content and enjoyment on her finely cut lips, Julia Hampson slept soundly in the shade One small foot escaped from her dress, and one shoulder of faultless polish and whiteness showed between her kerchief and her sleeve Her slight waist bent to thf swell of the hay, throwing her delicate and wellmouMed bust into high relief and all over her neck and in large clusters on the tumbled hay lav those glossy brown ringlets, ad mirably beautiful and luxuriant And as Eph looked on

top of this, we are expecting a cold wave to come out of the Northwest that will quickly chill the rain into sleet and snow Beginning about Christmas day this state will feel the effects of the much colder weather and higher barometer By the middle of the week the sky will be clear and temperatures low Toward the end of the week, about Friday, temperatures will begin mod erating with still warmer weather on Saturday With this change will come increasing cloudiness and more wind storms The storm as a whole will not produce as much precipitation as the storm center of a week ago, but we do

subcrabers wants to know of a good method of treatment for tapeworms in a flock of turkeys There are numerous recipes and sug gestiona given or the treatment for worm in poultry, turkeys included, but the first thing to notice is that worm troubles is due to dirty premise That is, there is not much use in attempting to otop losses in a flock through worms unless care is taken to clean up the premises regularly, dis infect them and clean out the droppings from the roosting place to a portion of the farm that is not frequented by the flock A flock treatment which has been advocated by the Kansas Experiment station and which has ben tried with success and without danger, consists of feeding a cooked mash of one pint wheat, one pint oats, and one teaspoonful of lye Use enough water to cover the mixture and cook it for two hour This should be fed to the flock in the morning followed by Epsom salts at the rate uf onehalf to three quarters of a pound for every 100 full grown birds The California Experiment station has suggested a simple remedy for th control of worms, consisting of two pounds of tobacco dust mixed with 100 pounds of ordinary dry mash feed They say that it should be fed one daily for three weeks, then it should be discontinued for three weeks, following which it should be used for a second period of three week After the first week of feed ing and again after each, period of feeding it Epsom salts should be ad ministered at the rate given previously Individual treatment of infected bird is ometimes practical sometime they are fed with a teaspoon, but there is difficulty in doing thiwe A glass tube 15 inches long and about inch in diameter, which can be purchased at a drug tore, will hold about three teaspoonsful of the mixture to be used One end of the tube should be rounded by heating to a d heat so a to prevent cutting the inside of the birds mouth or throat For the individual treatment the Kansas Experiment station has recommended one part each of turpentine and olive oil at the rate of 0 ehalf to one teaspoonful in the morning to each bird, after they have been shut up all night An ordinary mah may be fed to them two or three hours afterward containing onehalf pound Epsom salts per 100 full grown birds Among the recent Nobel prize win1 neis nie Prof Heirnch Wieland, top, of Berlin, Germany, awanhd the chemistry prire for li2h

in January every oiyars the dead letter service of the oostoffice department of the United States receives between three and t four million dead letters containing Christmas and New Years cards in addition to the normal receipts of undeliverable letters This enormous increase in undeliv, table matter, it is pointed out, is due primarily to incorrect addresses but would still be preventable in spite of, Aerrct addressing if the patrons of ie postal service could be persuaded j o place return addresses on the envel p s The logs substained each year by the mailing public is enormous mounting to not less than 325,000 , in cash out lay not to mention the disappointment of hundreds f per n who fail to receive the anticipat d prcetings I housands of dead letter envelopes ir, found to contain gifts of mo ii when opened in the dead letter otlie and comparatively few contain urhcient information to make it possjbit return to the mailers o USE OF MARL SAVES MONEY A saving of 500 000 through the us, of marl by Michigan farmers in 2 in the estimate mad by the agriculture engineering department of Mirhirmn State college Members of the department behAvo that the average gain made is J dollar a ton and the farmers used a half a inillion tons lat yar Five years atro farmers in this state hid used only 6,000 tons of this material The Geological Survey has comnh ted a study of the marl desposits in 14 Michigan counties and it has he,n found that a plentiful supply of cood quality marl is available for the ,ie of a majority of farmers in those ounties A jrreat deal of marl is in close reoximity to the sandy soils which nre tlv most acid of Michigan soil The possibility of the economical use of ral is determined by its percentage of calcium carbonate and the cojt of trotting the marl to the field Some desposits are readily accjssAde and the material can be excaatd very cheaply Other beds art inaccessible or contain marl with a low calcium content Agriculture enineTs pecialists from Michigan St te College have given excavation demonstrations at 150 locations in the tde Ground limestone and marl are oually valuable for use in treating id soils Each farmer should find irh is the cheapest for him to use County acrriculture rgents and college specialists will assist in deciding which is the most economical 9 PH1LATHEAS ELECT OFFICERS A very pleasant meeting of

at least ten acres of alfalfa, which it should be According to the results of successful alfalfa growers between now and next spring is a splendid time to get the lime and apply to the fieldl Farmers

What seemed to be bothering everybody was: Whether the Airport Commission had authority to make decisions without consulting the Board of Supervisors, and: _po the people here in the county really want an airport? The first question was not answered. Neither was the second. In fact, commission member Glenn Miller got so irked at some of the questions, he stalked from the room . . . but came back. As it stands now, the commission has ordered Williams * Works, engineering firm, to complete the master plan (for the HoweU Airport site) under the terms of the $4,- «W study. But — the board hasn't agreed that it want* the Howell location. So — as the man said — there was some confusion. expected that State - Aid of $5,000 will help defray the additional expense as wen as federal aid of eight cents per capita, amounting to about $3,060.

WED., DEC. 19, 1962 Delphians, Music Club Hear Songs by Two Choral Groups Detectives at Work On State Highways • Dozens of private contractors grading and paving the Detroit- Lans i n g-Muskegon Freeway from Howell to Lansing were under the surveillance of an unusual team of "detectives." These men were inspectors for the State Highway Department, and their job is to test, retest — and then test some more — all the materials and technique used in building Michigan's newest highway. The standards they set Insure the Michigan taxpayer and motorist of getting the beat possible use of their highway dollar.

Fifty members and guests attended. Mrs. Jean Oakley of Howell won a corn Christmas tree centerpiece as door prize. The tree was making sure that it was sufficiently hard and compact to withstand pounding of tomorrow's traffic. Along with the paving machine went a second Highway Department "detective" who sampled the concrete as it was poured. He tamped fresh concrete into a small cone, lifted the cone up, and measured how far the wet stuff saged. This test determined if materials had been mixed in proper proportion. But before the concrete ever got to the paving site, another inspector took his sample, poured it into a small form and let it harden seven days. On the seventh day the concrete "beam" was deliberately smashed to see how much pressure it would take — and consequently how much pressure the highway would take on that section represented by the sample.

In that day, the law required every adult-male in the state to grab a shovel occasionally and help build roads. This practice began when Michigan was a territory and the law stayed on the books up until 1907 when it was repealed. You could avoid laboring on the roads only by hiring someone to take your place. But otherwise, failure to do your part brought a fine of $3.25 a day. If you showed up for work, but loafed on the job, you could be fined a dollar a day.

Eve Wet, Thar., FrL, flat, Dec 25-28-27-2S-39 I1WWCD rWTO-TBOHNKPLOR Michigan and most other midwestern states had this democratic tradition of roadbuilding, at least in rural areas, until the automobile came along and required better roads. And it was this community roadbuilding tradition that was behind the bitter opposition that automobiles aroused when they were introduced. < ' Farmers took the view that the roads belonged to them because they built them. These noisy new machines frightened horses so badly that the roads were nearly useless. So, in many areas, there were attempts to legislate automobiles off the roads. Needles to say, these attempts were not successful. The very first road In Michigan was built by federal troops and It was more of a military road than one for commerce. It connected Fort— Meigs, now the site of Toledo, with Fort Detroit. It was built In 1816 at a cost of $38,000 for the 65-mile distance. The Michigan State Highway Department was created by the State Legislature in 1905. There were many miles of roads in the state by then, but most of them were uncoordinated, local affairs. There were less than 200 miles of hard-surfaced roads in the state. The real start came ill 1913 when 3,000 miles of state highways were author- Iced and a horsepower tax was levied on motor vehicle licenses. Two years later, the horsepower tax on automobiles was changed to a weight tax — the form still in use today — and Michigan began building roads in earnest. Today there are 9,200 miles of state highways in Michigan, including some 900 miles of freeways built during the last five years. In addition, there are more than 85,000 miles of good county roads and 15,000 miles of city itreets. Cross-State 1-94 Aids Plane Pilots One group of people who get an unexpected benefit from Michigan's new freeways are the pilots of airplanes. To a flyer headed crosscountry, nothing is more important than some distinctive landmarks. Pilots have been wing highways as navigational aids for a long time. But the trouble is there are so many of them and from the air they all look alike. The new freeways make it easier for pilots because they are divided highways, a feature e a s i l y distinguishable frum the air, and there aren't go many of them that one can easily be confused with another. 1-94 freeway, which runs clear across the state from Detroit to Lake Michigan, is an excellent new landmark for pilots approaching Detroit from the west. The Michigan State Highway Department reports one plane dropped to within 25 feet of 1-94 in an attempt to read the signs along the freeway because he was lost. He crash-landed when his motor failed but was not serously injured. oocwisr* A wm MERRY CHRISTMAS B. I . ELECTMC SALES & SERVICE W. Garni Rive* HMMI on Friday fop , New York, to visit her aunt.

State Highway Crews Can Battle Big Snows LANSING — Artists paint it . . Poets *rite about it . . . Children — and skiers — love it . . . But to the driver of a car, snow is an enemy. A little of it meant danger; a lot of it brings paralysis to our highways. " jan's northern location, shape and watery borders suture it qf a variety of winter weather. But one thing is certain: When winter comes to Michigan, these will be snow — 100, 200, up to 250 inches. The largest snowfall recorded in Michigan last year was 209 inches — acre than 17 feet — measured t t a U . 8. Weather Bureau station in Keweenaw County. The smallest was 16 inches at a station northeast of Detroit in Wayne County. The average snowfall for Michigan was nearly 79 inches last win* ter. Each year, Michigan becomes more popular as a winter recreation area. On winter week* ends, Michigan* winter sports areas attract thousands of visitors, many from out of the state. Already. Michigan has more organised winter sports areas than any state east of the Rocky Mountains — and more are opening each year. "To attract these sportsmen, we must virtually guarantee them that they can reach their favorite sports areas without inconvenience," State Highway Commissioner John C. Mackie said. "A permanent supply of snow makes a paradise for skiers, as long as it is not on the highways." More than 100.000 tons of sodium chtorfrte, 8,000 ton* of esJdwn chloride and 25,000 cubic yards of chloride-treated sand has been stock-pUed for the job of keeping ke and snow off state highways this winter. Snow removal equipment valued at more than 120 million is ready to fight winter storms on Michigan's 9,400 miles of state highways. "This equipment — owned by the State, counties and cities — is ready to go at a moment's notice," Mackie said. •ERN '. A,^gttef'MAIL •••AutomotiveS/mUJiu How veil is your car viater- Isad?

Should a heavy snow blanket the entire state tomorrow, the Highway Department could call on a taskf oree of more than 1,000 pieces of snow fighting equipment. That s equivalent to one piece of equipment for every nine miles of state highway. Other men *nd machines go to work on county roads and city streets, but they are on call to the State If needed in troublesome areas. -.-•— "Once in » great while we get a heavy continuing snowfall that gives us a lot of trouble," Mackie said "However, this is an exception to the rule. "Main highways are seldom blocked." The State Highway Department prides itself on the manner in which state highways are kept free of snow and ice during winter months. It budgets about $6 million each winter for this purpose. "The cost of snow removal on state highways is small when compared to economic losses the state would suffer if we did not keep our highways free of snow and ice,** Mackie said.

They were especially grateful to Mrs. Meyer, Who, in lending Frank Zezulka's church, made the display outstanding. The church, one of 85 churches, was carpeted and papered, fenced and landiped. The people attending the Sunday gathering were drea&ed In their Sunday betki, and the preacher graced the. palpi t. The faces of the school children who all visited the gym, and the oh's and ah* ol delight made Mrs. Kellenberger, the Principal, wish some way had been devised to have the mothers and fathers come to school that afternoon.

Morrice New Lothrop Birch Run Bulldogs Miss Free Throws By CHRIS SLAGES, JR. BRIGHTON — Although the Bulldogs lost 49 to 36 at Bloomfield Hills, last Friday, it must be agreed upon that this was their finest game so far this season. In the first quarter the Bulldogs stayed with the Barons until the last minute, when the Barons gained a 7 to 5 advantage. But the Bulldogs had their chance to gain a lead, when the Barons gave them a chance at the charity line. But when needed, it never coined, as the Orauge and Black began the game as they ended 14, by missing free throws. potfo THE PINCKNEY (Mich.) DISPATCH, WED. DEC. 19, 1962 Q Despite their troubles at the foul line, the Bulldogs continued to give the Barons a tussle, and at the end of the first half the Barons led by a scant six points, 25-19. Things didn't change as the second half opened, as Brighton matched every Bloomfield basket, but failed through foul-line misery to pull any closer then those same six points. The fourth quarter was the brightest, a n d then again the saddest for Bulldog fans, as the local lads rut the Baron lead to 4 points and seemed able to at any mo* ment to at art a scoring rampage, and jump In the lead, But that moment never came, us effort after effort failed, and the Bulldog rally fell short. Now Bloomfield turned the tide, as they began to score, wiping out all chances for a Bulldog upset, with Dennis Hartman having scoring honors with 115 points. The final score was 49 to 30* but as with most black and] white statistics, it does not. come anywhere near telling the true picture of the game. In summary, the Bulldog turned down all charity that would have helped them to H victory. It cannot be said that they tried to win it on their own* but if charity is forthcoming, let use it in the upcoming games. BULLPUPS LOSE After two straight week* of improvement, the Bullpups fell back into their first week's] gear as they lost to the Bloomfield Hills J. V,# 57-17. As to what happened to improvement and brtx& on thi4 last effort, is unkown to every* one. Unless they get back on th* road to improvement, it might continue to be a long season for the J. V.

Mrs. Backus feels that the simple suggestion, "Dress now, play later," may be much more useful to a little child than saying. "Hurry up and get into your clothes. We haven't much time!" "The child's lack of understanding of time requires considerable patience on the part of parents,' 'the specialist says. "You may be wrapped up in a television program when your child asks for a drink. If your 'just a minute' stretches into several, the child may become impatient and will not learn much about how to judge time." Where's Old Debbin? Auto Is Today's King This is undoubtedly the age of the automobile, but there are still about 3-1/2 million horses in the country. That's about one horse for every 50 persons, a far cry from the good old days when the ratio was one horse for four persons — one to a family. • Most of today's horses earn their keep in the recreation or entertainment buulneM — at rare trarks, Ktables, and of courw, carrying around the actors for western television program*.

In the early 1900's, the horse was king, and there was strong support in many localities for legislation that would have prohibited automobiles from using public roads.

Not long ago a riding club attked the Michigan State Highway Department to build & Mperlal horite rroftftlng on one of It* now highways.

Republican strength for such » p"*pi)sali TT ir^rt nf Ti tax revision program, reportedly has gained since the 1W8 session unofficially domed Its doors. As one Republican Senator from Central Michigan puts it: "It's something the people are going to have to face. Either every major city is going to be passing an income tax, and then the smaller cities will follow suit until we are all pay* ing such a levy, or the state is going to do it before the pattern becomes too complicated." • • • The recent months have seen constantly increasing revenues pouring in, largely because of the "nuisance tax" package passed this year.

You'll find it in florist shops and garden centers at this time of year — it's not the biggest plant but certainly a gay and 108 W. Main S t Pinckney lasting gift "plant. Kalanchoes may be bought in 2Vi-inch clay pots or in any size up to 6 or 8 inches. They are compact little succulents with shining bright green leaves and clusters of sparkling four-petalled florets of brilliant scarlet. The stems that hold the flowers are usually from 8 to 12 inches high and the plant stays small and compact even as it matures, making it ideal for table or window decoration. They are good-natured plants and demand little. Whenever the topsoil feels dry to your finger, set each porous clay pot in a bowl of water and let it drink up all it will. Then when the topsoil is wet through, take the pot from the water and let it drain before setting it back in its own saucer. Kalanchoes will do best In a sunny window. Keep the faded blooms pinched off so they will not set seed and new buds will continue to develop and open for many weeks. For robust growth, feed a soluble plant food once every month. • • • In rural areas of Germany a family might observe the old custom "of'k'eepimj hearth fires burning through 12 nights form Christmas until Jan. 6 the Epiphany or Twelfthnight. Gifted Child Has Rough Time Growing Up Children of high intelligence often have a rough time growing up, says Warren A. Ketcham, University of Michigan professor of education. "Though they h a v e difficulties along the way, parents and teachers can try to make it easier for them to grow up," says Ketcham. "One reason bright children are frequently misunderstand is that at a very early age they may be curious about things they aren't supposed to be curious about, or which are more typical of older children," he explains. "They'll ask questions that embarrass parents or teachers and nobody knows whether they're asking from whim or curiosity or from a sincere wish to get an answer. "A large number of those children learn to read before they go to school. Frequently they irritate adults," says Ketcham. "At an early age they may have places to go. They may be the children who get lost easily because the wander off. They talk a great deal. "Most of these children are going to be educated in regular classrooms in their home communities and this is where the service of education lies. I n the past, gifted children have been held back sometimes when limited to the learning experiences of the average chiM. But In many cases these children are very skillful at finding opportunities to learn. If they aren't provided in school, frequently they are found in the home or library homes of friends, "Fortunately, the schools, in genera], are much more willingj today than they were years ago to U s ttaest flfaUd ~ the added revenues before tackling the touchy problem of an income tax in the Senate again. The House, of course, never reached a test on the income tax question this year. Democrats supposedly were fully behind Swainson in his fiscal reform program. All indications w "off the rco ord" comments were there would have been some who would have been conveniently absent if such a vote were taken this year. If a Republican governor proposed such a tax, they would be even more inclined to abstain or openly oppose the legislation. • • • 1,000 FREEWAY MILES MICHIGAN'S FRE E W A Y SYSTEM, now past the 1,000- mile mark, has a relatively brief history.

It will refresh your understanding of the universe and steel you for the year ahead, a year that is not going to be any better than the last one, as you know perfectly well. Why not? Gumperson's law is For those of you who are unaware, Gumpe r s o n's law neatly explains a number of irritating events that might otherwise be put down to mere chance. It is Gumperson's law, for example, that causes blue grass to grow in the cracks of concrete sidewalks but not on your lawn. It accounts, too, for the fact that you can throw a burnt match out the window of your car and start a forest fire while you can use two boxes of matches and a whole edition of the Sunday paper without being able to start a fire under the dry logs in your fireplace. The law, stated simply, Is that the contradictory of a welcome probability will assert itself whenever such an eventuality is likely to be most frustrating.

Gnmi River ine "law; Tne outcome xk a given desired probability will be inverse to the degree of desirability. A brief elucidation of the law, with details on its origin and development, is presented herewith for the benefit of the lay reader. Dr. R. F. Gumperson, internationally famous divicist, began serious work in 1938 on a phenomenon long known to scientists but up until then considered as a mere curiosity. This was the fact that the forecasting record of the weather bureau, despite its use of the most advanced equipment and highly trained personnel, was not as good as that of The Old Farmer's Almanac. After four years of research, Dr. Gumperson enunciated his now famous law and was able to make a series of predictions later confirmed by other scientific workers in the field Some of fr better known of these Include the following: —That after a raise in salary you will have less money at the end of each month than you had before. —That the girl at the race track who bets according to the color of the jockey's shirt will piek more winners ~ than the man who has studied the past performance of every horse on the program. —That children have more energy after a hard day of play than they do after a good night's sleep. —That the person who buys the most raffle tickets has the least chance of winning. —That a child can be exposed to the mumps for weeks without catching them but can catch them without exposure the day before the family goes on vacation. —That the dishwasher will Jbreak down the jevening_you give a dinner party for ten people. —That good parking places are always on the other side of the street served, as tces^during World War II and evolved the procedure whereby the more a recruit knew about a given subject the better chance he had of receiving an assignment invol v i n g some other subject There is no knowing to what further glittering heights Dr. Gumperson's genius would have led him had it not been for his untimely death in 1947. Strolling along the highway one evening, he was obeying the pedestrian rule of walking to the left facing traffic. He was struck down from behind by a Hillman-Minx driven by an English visitor hugging the left side of the road.

THE CHRISTMAS DANCE When grandma danced the minuet Some sixty years ago, The stately couples often met Beneath the mistletoe. To waltzes now the customs veer, But Mabel's foxy beau, Tnat damsel doth contrive to steer Beneath the mistletoe. Dances change, but not the game, As close observers know, For mortals act about the same Beneath the mistltoe.

CHRISTMAS TREE S A L E YOUR CHWC: $100 EACH 938 tot* Ltke Rd. UP 8-8287 Do You Want An Old-Time Christinas? If you've a yen to make this a really "old-fashioned" Christmas, the best way to begin is to go out and get your tree the way our forefathers did! Go into the "forest," cut it down, an-i then haul it home. Yes, today there are Jiun.- dreds of American tree farms and nurseries, where this old family custom is being revived with a new twist. The difference is that these modern Christmas trees, instead of growing wild, are carefully cultivated by professional growers. Farmers and nuserymen find that they can lower their costs —.and build customer interest «— by allowing a family to choose a Christmas tree while it is still growing. Customers usually come out to select their tree in November or early December, have it tagged,, then pick it up a week or so before Christmas. There are some places where you can have the fun. of cutting down your own tree with a saw or ax provided by the grower. In others, the tree is dug up for you and then put in a bucket or wrapped in burlap. Trees selected in this way stay fresh and green longer than those that are cut down far in advance of their sale. Too, prices are usually a little lower than they would be at Legal Notices THE PINCKNEY (Mich.) DISPATCH, WED. DEC 19, 1962 tK- usual street-corner sales lot. Costs, however, vary widely, depending largely on locale but also on the tree's size, shape, thickness, etc. Trees that are balled and burlapped (dug out with their roots intact, suitable for trans* j)lantin£.) are more. e.yppnsiva To find farms and nurseries that offer this choose-yourowti service, contact your county agricultural agent.

The cemetery trustees at Dowagiae ^endeavor to inaugurate a custom there which prevails in numerous other cities with very great success. The plan is to induce the owners of lots in the •eemetery to deposit 8100 with the .cemetery board, who will iu turn invest . the money in municipal bonds. At 6 per cent this investment would provide -an income of 96 per year, which amount the trustees would appropriate ananally and send to the investor a re- -eeipt in full for the special care of his •cemetery property. Thus all expenses would be paid for the lot owner by the mere deposit of 9100, which money would always remain the property of the depositor. »i uncial Yojte in Mlcblf-nD. The canvass ot the election returns i n the state was recently completed. The work has been delayed on account -of errors in the returns which had to be corrected.

The canvass shows that President McKinley received 104,584 plurality in the state. The Populist candidate for President received 833, the Prohibition candidate 11,859, the Social*Democratic candidate 2,836, and the Socialist Labor 003. The plurality of Gov.-elect Bliss was 79,- 284. • More about Good Roads. Hark to this bit of wisdom from Editor Hubbeli, of the Marlette Leader, which ought to be indorsed by every farmer in Michigan: "There should be a genuine overhauling of road laws and methods in Michigan and some plan carried out that would do away with the semi-annual closing, up of trans* portation. The farmer loses more every year in increased expense of getting to market than good roads would cost him, and the business man's loss is fully as much. A law that would compel the building of roads by contract and do away with the road work farce should be welcomed." but many exposures. Another gas well was struck at Royal Oak on the ^fcb»- '.

A Very Bold Deed. A bold robbery on the Cotton Belt **ailwsy occurred at Bassetts, Tex, 30 miles south of Tesarkana, on the 13th, on the train coming north, in which Postal Clerk John N.

C H I N A W A R N E W S . eoufert>:l?;: It is now dawning upon the German press and public that Mr. Hay, the American secretary of state," has secured arrout aud out diplomatic victory in;obli|rfng the powers, Germany included, to yield to his arguments in favor of more moderate terms in the preliminary joint note to the Chinese peace plenipotentiaries. This clearly defined defeat is especially bitter at Berlin, because Emperor William had set his heart on imposing the most humiliating conditions upon upon the Chinese and thus emphasizing Ger» many Vpwer in^Jfcbeir eyes. Definite instructions supplementing a communication from London on the 15th, have been received by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British minister, and he now demands a modification of a point in the* joint note which the j foreign envoys-generally regard as im- ^|x>rtant. This means further delay, as all the ministers must communicate anew with their respective governmenta Just what is the nature of the objection raised by Great Britain the ministers decl'n^ to say, but they admit that the new demand will involve a good deal more diplomatic procedure.' The negotiations of the powers in regard to the joint China note were concluded ruttisfactorily on the 11th, all agreeing to to the conditions identically as outlined by Count von Buelow, tbe imperial chancellor of Germany, Nov. 19, with the exception of the introductory ^clause saying the demands are irrevocable, which is eliminated T R A N S V A A L W A R I T E M S . The following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Dec 15, has been received: Five officers and 316 men, Magaliesberg prisoners, have been released. The Boers surrounded and captured 130 of Brabant's Horse in a defile in the Zastron district Col. Bloomfield, moving on Vryheid, defeated the Boers with heavy loss, driving them from Scheeper's nek and capturing a quantity of arms. The Scheeper's nek movement occurred December 13. The Boers who attacked Vryheid December 10 lost • luO killed and wounded before they retired. The fighting lasted all day. The British loss was 0 killed, ID wounded and 30 missing.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the appropriation will be made A single objection can defeat it for this session*,. More or less private pension bills have been introduced in the house sinee the session opened. With the great number of publio bills on tbe calendar there is very little hope of any of these new bills reaching a vote before the life of the present congress expiree, They of course will die with the *©»* sion. The President has approved'the lists submitted by the governor of Hawaii, of the sales and other dispositions of the publio domain, made by the^flajv, wailan governor, between July 7, 1898, and Sept. 86, 1898. The approval is made under section 73, of the act providing a government for Hawaii. Secretary of the Treasury Gage on the 13th sent to congress a letter recommending reciprocal- arrangements for steamship boiler inspector between the U. a and Canada. At present Canadian inspectors charge for inspecting American velsels. Americans- inspeot Canadian vessels free. The pension appropriation hill w e e completed on the 13th by the house sub-committee on appropriations having it in charge. It carries about ¢145,- 350,000. of which about $144,000,000 i s for pensions and the balance for administration. A treaty has been concluded between the U. 8. and[GreatBritain, amen< the extradition treaty.

"It 4s as well; I do not fear for your future.' You certainly have not suffered from my selfishness in the past" "Don't you think the less you say -about your past the better?" he asked, ejurrtstt beyond all prudence, all kiadnesaVby a burning sense of his wrongs. For a full minute they looked steadily at each others; her womanly intuition enabled J hef to read tha thoughts that owed their existence* to Hfelen, and her weakened affection for him seemed to fall dead. "It rifta-to-be » hnndredi" she said slowly, her face hard with acorn, "I will never forgive you for that insult, even though I know it orgfnated with the woman who has *o strangely perverted your moral ttature. Your wickedness and covatoasness deserve punnhmejiti nnd it has overtaken yon in the way you will teal most; for though you have no legal claim upon my money, I always intended ta provide lor you when you came of age, and should have carried out the Intention, hi spite of the fact that you married against my wish, had ;not your wife's character so soon revealed itself.

In keeping control of your prop* erty you may be right by law, hut you, are acting dishonestly none the less. So far I fully agree with my wife." With a low cry Gladys fell hack in her chair. As if waiting-for the signal, Phebe entered the room, a terrible old woman in her wrath. "I am going to tell them the truth, Miss Gladys, whether you forbid it or not," she defiantly announced. "As Mr. Harvey-says, this isn't the- time for pretending, and I gue^s we can settle the matter out of court" Gladys -put up a protesting hand, but she would not heed. "I'll make short work of it. You're wrong in thinking you have any sort of share in the mistress' property,, Mr. Harvey, because her father, Joseph Stirling, your grandsire, didn't own a dollar In i t He married twice—first a poor girl who died when her baby was horn; then a rich young heiress, who also died early in life leaving her money to her only child, Gladys, your aunt or half aunt; for you are the. son of the daughter of the first marriage." "My God! The mater is not my mother?" cried Harvey, after a stupefied pause. He sprang to his feet and gazed wildly from one face to the other, with the look of a man pierced to the heart. "Madam, madam, is this true?" he imploringly asked. Then, meeting Gladys' compassionate yet strangely cold look, with a half sob lie threw himself into chair and buried his face in his hands, never moving until Phebe had finally ceased speaking. Helen said nothing; her burning eyes were fixed on the housekeeper; she knew she told the truth, and that from the fair domain which had promised to be her garden of Eden, she was banished forever. "You know how your mother married. Mr. Stirling swore he would never forgive' her; but he was a Just man, and sent her the money she would have had when she came of age. It didn't last long. Twenty thousand dollars isn't much in the hands of a gambler. And when it was gone he went too." "Miss Gladys was at school when your, poor mother begged her way to New York, her baby in her arms.

It was Helen who brtfke the dreary pause. "You hated me from the first," she said in a voice uneven with rage, "and have well'calculated your revenge. You .know I would die for Harvey, and by making me the apparent medium of his downfall, you try to inflict upon me the most harrowing of punish; m«ntfl» But here you fail, Gladys Atherton, for it is yoji who have been his ruin. You have scorned me, not in words, perhaps, but with meaning looks, for having decoyed him into marriage before your appointed time. I know how you regard my peoplethat, too, your looks have told. And what are you, pray, with all your pride? In the beginning a bold, pampered girl following the first man who though it worth his while to beckon her to shame, for aught she knew or cared, no that her fancy was gratified "Harvey,v cried Gladys, deadly pale, "bid this impious woman be silent. unforgiving spirit, but she sent for me—I was in his service^—from the hospital where she lay dying, and by her deathbed I promised never to forsake her child, and to hide him from her husband, Matthew Harvey, who would try to make use of the boy to get money from his young aunt Gladys. He was bad enough for anything, she said. I had a little money saved, and put you to board with a woman I knew. I always had it in my mind to tell the master some day; but he had a heart trouble and I daresn't do it. "I hadn't a chance to worry long, for in a few months after your motner died he fell dead in the street, without a moment's warning.

Phebe paused, overcome by sad memories. Gladys, unnerved by all that had passed, was crying, but not as the wholly desolate weep; she no longer strove to prevent her old friend from speaking. "*our mother's sorrows had Uft their mark on you, Mr. Harvey; you were a sad little tot, with mournful eyes and atlmorous manner. You ran to my dear young lady, attracted by her sweet voice, and-hid your face in her gown, and when we left they had to drag you away; we heard your screams as the carriage drove off, and Miss Gladys sobbed all the way home. After that, the idea of your growing up among strangers, with no one to love you—just considered for the money you brought mayhap—was terrible to her. We must take you far away to a corner in the west, where none would know us, and you'd be sate from your father. I begged her on my knees not to spoil' her life; but she coaxed and argued and cried till she got the better of me, and we left New York unhindered, her having no relations.'

She'll fet over ft. for . she's young yet But you've ^nade a strange return to her lor wasted years!" Not a word was spoken by either of the other three. Helen stole over to her husband and* timidly laid her hand on his shoulder. All self-confidence was gone from her bearing; she, seemed cowed and beaten; and for the first time her loving touch was unheeded. Phebe looked at her frowningly. "Ay, comfort him if you can; he'll have need of it" she said in a hard tone. "If he comes to ruin he may. thank you; but for your avarice and meddling he'd have had a good bit of money—a hundred thousand dollars, no less. He'll never have it now: Perhaps he'll not reproach you just yet for his loss, since he helped you out with the deviltry you called your duty. But he'll know it's to you he owes it—he wasn't full grown when you took him in hand, and easily led —and the thought will grow and grow untiLone- day-he'il^despise--youin_his heart, and turn from the love that dragged him down." As if that day had come, Helen moved nearer to her husband, the rich color ebbing, even from her lips. Gladys half rose. "Be merciful, Phebe," she gently remonstrated. "You are too hard. Go now, dear old friend; enough has been said." Muttering still, Phebe lumbered away, furtively wiping her eyes; under her bristling exterior beat a warm heart, and, despite her anger, she felt for Harvey in his hour of darkness. As the door closed behind her he raised his head, revealing* a—whiter'wTld face. "I must speak to my—-my aunt alone, Helen," he said hoarsely. "Leave us together."

Consequently they had better opportunities and greater inclination for recreation of the healthiest kind. They felt able to rise in the morning early enough for gymnastics, their work the day before not being so irksome as to make them feel they needed every moment of sleep possible, as is often the case nowadays, and in the late afternoons and evenings they could could enjoy an athletic game. The girls some years ago exerted much less than they do now, their course of study usually being mild in comparison to the average of today, and few of them were in business or the professions. Therefore their need was less for strengthening exer cises. Although the mental and physical work that the men and- women of this generation do has greatly increased they do not seem to have realized that a counteracting force is absolutely necessary for the number is growing larger every day.

'Mexico buys more American books than does France, and nearly as many as Germany.

The general sentiment seems to be that the legislature will not pass any equal taxation measure, but leave the matter to the next legislature. There seems to be BO question thai tlw» hoose wlU p**e the bllt but there is serious question as to what the senate will do. B*p., Cha*. a PblUipe, chairman of the eonunittee of the laet legislature, charged with an investigation of the expenditure of the S500»000 war fund, will ask that the bouse pass a resolution addressed to Gov. Pingree asking him to send a special message to the legislature asking for final action on the minority report of the committee, which was tabled at the last regular session. This will put the matter of covering up any further crookedness of the military board strictly up to the governor, and a refusal to grant the request will be construed as another attempt to cover up the guilt of former members of his military family. Sop. -elect Burns will go to the next session of the legislature loaded with a proposed amendment to the constitution limiting the governor's power to pardon. It is his idea to have a state pardon of three appointed, with an annual salary of 83,500 each, and a sixyear terqa, no pardon to be issued without the sanction of this board. The governor wilt have-power to review t the action of the board, but not to grant a pardon of his own account, It is said that Gov. Pingree was greeted with marked silence by the joint session of the legislature on the 12th. In the first place he set the time for meeting the joint session at 2 o'clock; the house adjourned until 1:45 to conform, but the senate adjourned until 2:45, causing the governor to wait 45 minutes at the pleasure of that body, a breach of courtesy before unheard of. Rep. Heinmann on the 13th introduced the Oren equal tax measure in the house. The bill, if made a law, will give the the state board of tax commissioners power to make annual assessments of the property of all railroad companies in the state at its true cash value, for the purpose of levying and collecting taxes .thereon. It is said the governor is thinking of sending in a special message, calling upon tbe legislature to pass a law providing that all courts and schools shall be run on standard time, and by sodoing proposes to adjust the local and stundnrd timei prbblemf if he ~can ^Bax& sentiment enough to warrant a message on tbe subject By a vote of 69 to 13 the blanket bill providing? for the taxation of railroads, union station and depot companies, express, telegraph and telephone companies, passed the house on the 14 th. This puts the measure up to the senate and all sorts of guessing is being done as to its ultimate fate. According to Rep. Dingley there was a movement started by house members on the day after White and Marsh were pardoned to have the present special session adjourned instanter upon convening,-,as a rebuke to Gov. Pingree. However, the scheme is wholly dead now. The governor's pardons have weakened his influence and given the opponents of the Atkinson bill a chance to shout They are discussed as much among the members of the legislature now as they were by the people on the day and the day after tbe pardons were granted. A poll of the state senators on the equal taxation bill on the 12th showed that 13 members, were openly opposed to pass the measure now; 3 were noncommittal, 7 were unheard from, and only 9 declared for immediate action.

The transverse court corresponding to the cross of the T, is the EsplaiAde. capable of accommodating 250.000 people. North of. this, corresponding with the perpendicular of the T, are the Court of Fountains and the Plaza, which reach almost to the northern limits of the grounds. On either side or the Couctof Fountains are the subordinate courts known as tbeCourt of Cypresses and Court of Lilies. These several courts have a combined area of 89 acres, which la far-more extensive than Hla I g a o r a n e e . Tess—Oh, 1 like him well enough, but it's so bard to make him understand anything.

The pioneer was the opera, singer, Arabella Ssilagyl. The house i n Peeksklll in Ward—Beecher wrote which -"Nor-- wood," has been op*ft*d for a free library and reading-room for Peekskili people.

The wedding party waited until after t h e midnight hour, the justice returning at about 1 o'clock in the morning to tie the knot. I: Marriages i n ttiindostan are very simple, and are usually arranged by t h e parents of the principals. When a n alliance i s agreed upon, the bride and groom are brought together, and perhaps see each other for the first time. T h e bride playfully skips toward the groom and seats herself •jeside him. T h e priest ties a corner of the bride's veil t o the groom's shawl, and this simple proceeding makes them man and wife. ft: 4#. " :?<+> A young western attorney was recently asked why h e had so strenuously defended" a woman who could not pay him. "I can never forget,'-' he re-: plied, "that she lived at the end of my long paper route when I was a struggling college boy. More than once in winter her kind heart prompted her to rise very early to have a cup of hot coffee ready for her newsboy, fearing lest he might perish with the cold." Such acts defy commercial "repayment" as mttch as mother-love or sister influence. How does the old Persian poet put It? "In Time's fleeting river The image of that little ylne-leaf lay; Immovably unquiet, and forever It trembles, but it cannot pass away." ; ; / : • : &K -A •M Bfc A Paris newspaper gives the weight of certain European sovereigns. In a football line-up, Dom Carlos of Portugal would be center. His towardness or valor ought t o be guaranteed by his 202 pounds.

His two texts are Revelation xxl., 13, "On the south three gates;" Psalm cxMi., "He hath not dealt s o with any nation." Among the greatest needs of, our country i s more gratitude t o God for the unparalleled prosperity bestowed upon us. One of my texts calls u s t o international comparison. What nation on all. the planet has of late had such enlargement of commercial opportunity as is now opening before this nation? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands brought into close contact with us&nd through steamship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which w i l l surely be afforded 4>y congress, all the republics of South America will be brought into most active trade with the United/States. "On tlie south three gates." While our next door neighbors, the southern republics and neighboring colonies, imported from Euro1 pean countries 3,000 miles away $675,- 000,000 worth of goods in a year, only $126,000,000 worth went from the United States— $126,000,000 out of $675,000,- 000, only one-fifth of the trade ours. European nations taking the four fingers and leaving u s the poor thumb. Now all this is t o be changed. There is nothing but a comparative ferry between- the islands which have recentlycome under our protection, and only a ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica, Equador, Brazil, while there are raging seas and long voyage between them and Europe. B y the mandate of the United States a i r that will be changed through new facilities of transportation. Th« Nation** AdTwrtlacflaeatfr In anticipation of what is sure t o come, I nail on the front door of this nation an advertisement: Wanted.—One hundred thousand men t o build railroads through South America and the island of the sea under our protection. . Wanted.—A thousand telegraph operators^- — Wanted.—One hundred million dollars' worth of dry goods from the great cities of the United States. Wanted.—All the clocks you -can make at New Haven and all the brains can spare-from Boston and all the bells you can mold) at Troy and all the McCormick reapers you can fashion at Chicago and all the hams you can turn out at Cincinnati and all the railroad iron you can sendi from Pittsburg and all the statesmen that you can spare from Washington. Wanted.—Rlgftt away, wanted by new and swifter steamers, wanted by rail-train, lawyers t o plead our cause. Wanted.—Doctors t o cure our sick. Wauted.^-Mlniaters t o evangelise our population. Wanted.—Professors to establish our universities. "On the south three gates," yea, a thousand gates. South America and all the islands of the sea approximate are rightfully our commercial domain, and the congress of the United States will see to it that we get .vhat belongs to us. And then tides of travel will be somewhat diverted from Europe, to our islands at the. south and t o the land of the Aztecs. Much of the $125,000,000 yearly expended by Amertoans^w Europe will be expended in southern exploration, in looking at some of the ruins of the 47 cities which Stephens found only a little way apart and in walking through the great doorways and over the miracles of mosaic and along by the monumental glories of another civilization, and ancient America will with cold lips of stone kiss the warm lips of modern America, and to have seen the Andes and Popocatepetl will be deemed as important as to ave seen the Alpine and Balkan ranges, and there will be fewer people spoiled by foreign travel, and in our midst less of the poor and nauseating imitation of a brainless foreign swell. Some Happy Condition*. Again, in this international comparison notice the happy condition of our country as compared with most countries. Russia under the shadow of the dreadful illness of her great and good emperor, who now, more than any man in all the world, represents "peace on eartfe, good will t o men," and whose empress, near" the most solemn hour that ever comes t o a woman's soul, i s anxious for him t o whom, s h e has given hand and heart, not t o r political reasons,'boi through old fashioned lore such as blesses o a r humMer dwellings; India under tfce agonies of m j . e famjne wklcfe rlrwigh.it>ibe<iba»iil»> e d ; * e . filled hundreds Of thooseMfcot clamation of t h e t e x t "He bath n o t dealt s o with a n y n i t t o u t * ' Ooianare the autumnal report of. harvests l a Amertea this year and *he har-vests abroad. " l a s t summer I crossed the continent of Euros* twice, and I saw no' snob harvest* a s are spoken of in this statement. Hear i t , all you men and women- w h o want everybody to have enough t o e a t and wear. I have t o tell you that t h e corn crop of our country this year i s one of the four largest crops o n record —2,105,000,000 bushtb*! T h e cotton crop, though smaller than, a t some times, will on that account bring bigger prices, and s o cotton planters of the south are prosperous. The wheatfields have provided bread enough and to sparer The potato crop, one of-the five largest crops on record—211,000,000 bushels! Twenty-two million t w o hundred thousand swine slain, and yot so many hogs left. Tha Story of Prosperity. But now I give you the comparative exports and imports, which tell the story of national prosperity a s nothing else can.; Excess of exports over imports, $544,400,000. Now let all pessimists, hide themselves In the dene and caves of the earth, while all grateful souls fill t h e churches with doxology. Notice also that while other countries are at their wits' ends a s to their finances this nation has money to lend. Germany, we are glad to see you in Wall street. If you must borrow money, we have it all ready. How much will you have? Russia, w e also welcome you into our money markets. Give us good collateral. Meanwhile, Denmark, will you please accept our offer of $3,000,000 for the island of S t Thomas? My hearers, there i s no na- _ tion on earth with such heaithy~con-- dition of finances. We wickedly waste an awful amount of money in this country, but some one has said it i s easier to manage a surplus than a deficit Besides all this, not a disturbance from S t Lawrence river to Key West or from Highlands of New Jersey t o Golden Horn of the Pacific Sectional controversies ended.—The north and south brought into complete accord by the Spanish war, which put t h e Lees and the Grants on the same side, Vermonters and Georgians in t h e same brigade. And since our civil war w e are all mixed up. SouthenTmen nave married northern wives, and northern men have married southern wives, and your children are half Mississippian and half New Englaad«ivaad to make another division between the north and the south possible you would have to do with your child as Solomon proposed with the child 'brougnt be-^ fore him for Judgment—divide it with the sword, giving half to the north and half t o the Bouth. No, there i s nothing s o hard to split as a cradle. In other lands there is compulsory marriage of royal families, some 'bright princess compelled to marry some disagreeable foreign ddgnitary in order to keep the balance of political power in Europe, the ill-matched pair fighting out on a small scale that which would have <been an international contest, sometimes the husband having tha balance of power and sometimes the wife. Th« Question of Wages. Again, in this international comparison there is not a land whose wages and salaries are so large for the great mass of the people. In India four cents a day and find yourself is good wages; in Ireland, in some parts, eight cents a day for wages; In England, $1 a day good wages, vast populations not getting as much a s that; in other lands, 50 cents a day and 25 cents a day, clear on down t o starvation and squalor! Look a t the great populations coming out of the factories c£ other lands and accompany them t o their homes and see what privations the hard-working classes on the. other side of the sea suffer. The laboring classes in America are 10 per cent better off than those in any other country under the sun, 20 per cent, 40 per cent, 50 per cent. The toilers of 'hand and foot have better homes and better furnished. "How much wages do you get?" is a question I have asked in Calcutta, in St. Petersburg, in Berlin, in Stockholm, in London, in Paris, i n Auckland. N e w Zealand; in Sydney, Australia, in Samoa, in the Sandwich Islands, so I am not talking a n abstraction.. The stone masons and carpenters and plumbers, and mechanics and artisans o f all kinds in America have finer residences than the major* ity of the professional men l a Europe. a s M T V I . B s MM .•Wr case of sudden demise his family shall mot be homeless.

The royal plate of S t James palace i s worth $10,000,000. There i s a host o f attendants, all o n salaries, some of them $6*000 a year, some $6,000 a year* Comptroller of the househoMv mistress of the robes, captain of gold stick, lieutenant of silver stick, clerk of the, powder c l o s e t pages of the back s t a i n , master of the horse, chief equerry, equerries i n ordinary,^ crown equerry, hereditary grand falconer, vice-oham-^ berlaln, clerk of the kitchen, grooms in waiting, lords in waiting, grooms of the court chamber, sergeant-at-arme, barge master and waterman, eight bed chamber women, eight ladies of the bedchamber, and s o on and s o on. All this i s only a type of the fabulous1 expense of foreign governments. -All this is paid out of the sweat and blood of the people. Are the people satisfied? However much the Germans like William, and Austria, likes Francis Joseph, audi England likes her glorio u s queen, these stupendous governmental expenses are built on a groan of dissatisfaction as wide a s Europe, If it were left t o the people <t2 England or Austria or Germany .qc' Russia whether these expenetra establishments should be kept up, d o y o u doubt what the vote would be? < Now, i s it not better that we b e overtaxed and the surplus be distributed all over the land than to have it fenilt up and piled up_insidfe the palaces? ' Question of Monopolies^ Again, the monopolistic oppression is less in America than anywhere else. The air is full of protest because great houses, great 'companies, great Individuals, are building such overtowering fortunes. Stephen Glrard and John Jacob Astor, stared at in their time for their august fortunes, would not now 'be pointed at in the streets Washington or Philadelphia o r New York a s anything remarkable. These vast fortunes for some imply pinchedness, of want for others. A growing protuberance on a man's head implies -iUness of the whole body.

Look at those great cathedrals, built at fabulous—oxponso and supported by ecclesiastical machinery, and sometimes in an audience room that would hold a thousand people twenty or thirty people gather for worship. The pope's income i s $8,000,000 a year. Cathedrals of statuary and braided arch and walls covered with masterpieces of Rubens and Raphael a n d Michael Angelo. Against all the walls dash seab of poverty and crime and filth and abomination. " Ireland today one vast monopolistic visitation. About 45,000,000 people in Great Britain, and y e t all the soil owned b y about 32,000. Statistics enough to make the earth tremble. Duke of Devonshire owning 96,000 acres in Derbyshire, Duke of Richmond owning 300,000 acres around Gordon castle. Marcus of Bredalbane going on a journey of 100 m i l e s } n a straight line, all on his own property. Duke of Sutherland has an estate wide a s Scotland, which dips into the sea on both sides. Unfortunate as we have it here, it i s a great deal worse there. While making t h e international comparison let "us look forward t o the time which will surely come when &\\ nations will have as great advantages as our own. As surely as the Bible is true the whole earth i s to be gardenized and set free. Even the climates will change and the heats b e cooled and the frigidity warmed.

"Pleaa* might I tee Mr. jorden for a minute?" she asked, the astonished maid who opened the door lust wide enough to" look out "Well, I never! yon don't know how he hates children, I guess," she said, opening the door wider. A big lump, which she tried to swallow, came up in Dorothy's throat. "Tea, I do, but may I just see him a minute? I won't bother him." "Well, I don't know what he'll eay, I'm sure," said the girl, as she led the way through the beautiful hall to a door at which she knocked.

The queer thing about the Bertram family was that everyone •j*-*t; rJ«£K*M ,waa utterly different in look and character, so that one never knew just which one they loved best. It was only the third day before Christmas, when Dorothy, who was 4uat "half past six," went up stairs t o find her mother.

Old English Custom*. It was customary in former days, in Cornwall, England, for the people t o meet on Christmas eve at the bottom of the deepest mines and have a midnight mass. ' In some parts of Derbyshire the village choir assemble in the church on Christmas eve and there wait until midnight when they m proceed from bouse t o house, invariably accompanied by a keg of ale, singing "Christians, Awake!" During the week they again visit the principal houaea in the place, and having played and sang for the evening, and partaken of the Christmas cheer, are presented with a aum of money. In Chester and its neighborhood numerous singers parade the streets, and are hospitably entertained with meat and drink at the various houses where they call. The "ashton fagot" is burned in Devonshire. It is composed entirely of ash timber, the separate branches bound with ash bands and made a s large as can be admitted to the floor of the fireplace.

The pretty flowers had begua )<rfade by the warm flre before Mr. Borden came out of the brows study tato which he had fallen. "God bless her brave little heart,'1 said he, as he bold Dorothy's flowers. The first joy of the Christmas tree was over, the presents were all distributed, and every one of the little Bertrams were sitting around admiring the candles and the clever trimming of the tree. "There goes the door bell again," said someone. "Do you think Santa Claus has come back?" asked Marjorie. ~ — It was a great disappointment to her when she aaw her mother shaking hands with Mr. Jorden. He looked rather sad, though he smiled at them all. There was a bright carnation in his buttonhole, the sight of which made Dorothy want to get behind someone. "How happy you look," said the visitor, sitting down. "I could^ see you through my side windows—I have often looked in upon you, and tonight I took the liberty of joining you for half an hour. Shall t intrude?" "Not at all,".said Dr. Bertram. "You are very welcome." Mr. Jorden drew Dorothy toward him and kissed her. "Dp you know," he said, turning* to. look at them all, "that a man may grow to be. fifty years old and learn for the .first thne what he should always have known.

The cake is formally deposited on the fork of the tree* and the cider thrown upon the cake and tree.

''Some houses "are bnuuted to somo people and all right to others," said an eujjineor on the Naith avenue elevnteil road. "There is a bouse.ou our Hue that is haunted to the men who hrtve beou ou this run for a few years back. Oue of our men noticed a man's face at the window overlooking1 the road. Every time the train passed fpr three days. I believe, the engineer saw tfi1> race. 11 \\as a 1 vyfly.s.ilie same. -Then he told somebody else about it, and on investigation it was discovered that the man at tbe window was dead. ' He occupied the room alone. There was no one else in the bouse. He bad killed himself, and in a note found on his table it was written that the man was lonesome and that he had raised tne window just before^the act so that he might die in the noise of the city. That was all there was to the story. "Ever since that time every engineer and fireman on the line who was employed at that time turns his face away In passing that house.

The trains always had to stop to take-on water, and my dog would fasten bis teeth Into the rear step of the tabr-ose. and when the train would start he would do his best to hold it. only letting go when the pace got too hot for him. Tbe train crew all knew; him, and one day they eet up a.JoU'bn.the- poor pup. They bad a cargo of raw hides, and one of the trainmen cut off a cow's tail and fastened it to. the end of the cabooee.

Cecil Rhodes once fitted up a beautiful cemetery near Klmberley, but for some reason it remained untenanted. Seeing this, Mr. Rhodes offered a bonus to widow* who- would bring thejr husbands to be burled in his cemetery, but without avail. Eventually one poor woman allowed her husband to be buried there, and a handsome marble stone was erected over his grave. But even then the scheme bung fire. The Inhabitants passing the gates of the beautiful cemetery would look through the railings and see the one man lying there In solitary state and go away shaking their heads and thinking how lonely it must be. Mr, Rhodes got so exasperated that he increased the bonus until it was a large sum. Then the inhabitants gradually began to weaken, due after the other;' bringing their dead to the lonely cemetery, which became as popular as aucfr a place can properly be. :5'.>V .-•» ^. v * , i rA-~ A - V * " - . • I ''i\T-: ."•*£• /• _SJ Si S ^ 1 ¾ 1 L.

T%e naturalist who has to tell of the steps by which nun came to his estate wis have attention that wttl never e e given to the questions of life In general, near as these problems shonM * e to all Intelligent persons. The Metorlaa who deals with human conduct has his way to s hearing made <easy by the motive ol fellowship. Above all the moralist who sets the man in face of himself and shows htm his relations to the else than self win have the foremost place, says the late Dean Shaler, In Atlantic. If fee do his work greatly, bringing to tt Newtonian might or Darwinian devotion to his purpose, the only danger in the appreciation he Is to receive Is that it will instinctively lift him above the human plane, denying him true fellowship with his kind. It Is only as men come to s higher appreciation of human quality that they are willing to leave their greatest teachers of morals in the same plane as themselves. That alone tells us where lies the summit of greatness in the intuitive judgment of mankind. Wealthiest in the World. The figures recently made public by the census authorities at Washington place the aggregate wealth of the United States, real and pers6nal, in 1904, at 1106,381,415,009. Inasmuch as present methods of ascertaining facts and of computing results are far better than ever before, it may be assumed that these figures are fairly accurate. Taking them as reliable and using the ratio of increase applied to preceding computations, the wealth of the country now would be $116,000,000,000. This puts the United States wholly by itself, says the Troy News, with possessions valued at double those of its nearest competitor and far distancing other great nations. Statistics of this sort relating to foreign countries are largely conjecture, but the highest figures given by those recognised as authorities arc as follows: Great Britain, $58,200,- 000,000; France, $50,000,000,000; Germany, $45,000,000,000; Russia, $35,- 000,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $30,000,- 000,000; Italy, $18,000,000,000, and Spain, $12,000,000,000. Not only ii the United States the richest -country In the world, but its weal Us Is increasing more rapidly than that of any other. TRANtPUt OF MILLIONS OP THB • f A T I * FUNDI QUIITLY MADB.

Paying Out Large Buma, A large portion of the state funds, consisting of primary school money derived from the railroads for the taxes of the past three yearn, has been called in by the state treasurer and distributed among the school districts of the state. There waa nearly *4V 000,000 of this money, and it Is a remarkable fact that It was withdrawn from the banks of the state and distributed without causing the slightest embarrassment to the financial institutions. This is regarded as a remarkable fact, and one that reflects credit on State Treasurer Olasler. The money had been widely scattered, among the bank* e l the state,- according to their standing, and the amount of their capital atodk. It Is a financial movement of considerable importance to shift within a few days $9,000,000 of currency from one set of banks to another without upsetting the equilibrium of some of them, and now that the transaction has been accomplished it is deemed creditable to the state treasurer who accomplished it.

I The scheme for a railroad from Siberia to Alaska, which has been discussed as a Russian enterprise, comes up in the guise of an American scheme. There has just been incorporated in New Jersey The Trans- Alaska-Siberian Railway company, which purposes to construct a road from Alaska to Siberia, with a tunnel Under Bering strait The undertaking Is rather ambitious, as the main line is to be 3,750 miles long, with branches aggregating 2,250 miles. The American company is an offshoot of the European organization. The fact that those Interested take the trouble and go to the expense of Incorporating here shows that there are men with money who have faith in a plan which many have been inclined to regard as chimerical. Heart Salve. Miss Belle Barco, of Benton Harbor, was awarded $10,000 damages for breach of promise against Arthur C. Loomls, of Traverse City, the Jury deliberating over eight hours. The plaintiff completely broke dowa after she left the stand. Loomts was engaged to marry the young woman and on the eve of their wedding married another. His letters to her were introduced in evidence. In one he sent "kisses to her and • to the cats and dogs" and In another he .told her he "would go to hades or punching cattle If she turned him down." The court room was crowded all during the trial. No defense was made by Loomis, his attorneys only striving to keep down the amount of damages. She sued for $10,000. Singer's-Sudden Call. Burdett Clark, who has been singing illustrated songB at the Bijou vaudeville theater in Oskosh, Wis., died suddenly just after leaving the stage. It is believed that heart disease was the cause, aa he had been apparently in eneellent health up to a few » i n - ntee^before the end came, He was 26 years of agd and his home was at Lansing, Mich., where his father Is chief of police. He has a brother living In Milwaukee. He was formerly at Fond du Lac and tame here to sing at the Bijou. Bobbed a Cripple. Three robbers held up Harry Beers, a cripple, owner of a billiard hall In Northport, at the point of a revolver. He was relieved of $40 In money, shoved through the door of his home and told if he gave the alarm within an hour'they would kill him. The three then drove away. Beers was roughly handled and the robbers started -. to carry him off in their buggv, hut yielded to his' pleadings and left him at home. No trace of the robbers can be found. Governor Investigates. It is understood that Gov. Warner's mission to Washington is to secure information from the interstate commerce commission regarding the car shortage problem which he intends to discuss in his message. It is said the shortage of cars is one of the most Important problems now confronting the shippers of the state and the delay in shipping produce often results In great loss. It is known that Gov. Warner is iTeatly Interested in the subject on tehalf of the shippers and the understanding is that he will recommend legislation requiring railroad companies to furnish cars. probably something in the nature of the reciprocal demurrage bill introduced at the last session of the legislature will be favored by the governor.

The finances of the government are in excellent shape, showing a surplus of a million and a half In gold. Fewer Poor. That there is less pauperism In the country than ever before is shown by the last census bulletin. In 1850 there were 217 la the almshouses per 100,- 000, while In 1908, the time of the last census, there were but 101 per 100,000.

He mounted the wagon In which the sick woman lay, sat well hack under the bowed cover, clucked low to the horses, and drove off toward the ferry. If discreet behavior on his part could ensure it there would be no conflict provoked with superior numbers; with numbers, moreover, composed of violent- tempered and unprincipled perse?' cutors who were already acting with but the merest shadow of legal authority. On the seat of the second wagon, whip in hand; was perched Giles Rae, his coat tKittoned warmly to the chin. He was slight and feeble to the eye, yet he had been fired, to new life by the certainty that now they were to leave the territory of the persecuting Gentiles for a land to be the Qalnta' very own. His son stood at the wheel, giving him final directions. At the gate was Prudence Corson, gowned for travel, reticule in hand, her prettineas shadowed, under the scoop of her bonnet, the toe of one trim little hoot meditatively rolling a pebble over the ground. "Drive slowly, Daddy. Likely I shall overtake you before you reach the ferry. I want but a word yet with Prudence; though"—he glanced over at the bowed head of the girl—"no matter If I linger a little, since Brother Seth will cross first and we must wait until the boat comes back. Some for there are two ways open—one right and one wrong; but I cannot sell my soul so early. That's why I wanted to say the last good-by out here. I was afraid to say it in there— I am so weak for you, Prue—I ache so for you in all thiB trouble—why, if I could feel your hands in my hair, I'd laugh at it all—Vm so weak for you, dearest" She tossed her yellow head ever so slightly, and turned the scoop of her bonnet a little away from his painlighted face. "I am not complimented, though— you care more.for your religion than for me" He looked at her hungrily. "No, you are wrong there—I don't separate you at all—I couldn't—you and my religion are one—but, if I must, I can love you in spirit as I worship my God in spirit—" 'If it will satlBfy you, very well!" "My reward will come—I shall do a great work, I shall have a Witness from the sky. Who am I that I should have thought to win a crown without taking up a cross?" "I am sorry for you." "Oh, Prue, there must be. a way to save the souls of such as you, even In their blindness. Would God make a flower like you, only to let It be lost? There must be a way. I shall pray until r force it from the secret heavens." "My soul will be very well, sir!" she retorted, with a distinct trace of aa- "Ocod-by, deHfcg!' two bloefs seen fit to reveaKto <*£ese good men.

You will come somehow. Perhaps, when 1 reach winter quarters, you will have changed your mind. One never knows how God may fashion these little providences. But He will bring you safe to me out of that Gentile perdition. Remember, cl&d, God has set His hand in these last days to save the human family from the ruins of the fall, and some way, He alone knowB how, you will come to me and find me. waiting." "As if you needed to wait for me when I am here now ready for you, willing to be taken!" "Don't, don't, dear! There are two of me now, tad one cant stand the pain. Them is'*a man ih me, sworn to do a man's work like a man, and duty to God and the priesthood has big chains around his heart dragging it across ^ the river. But, low, now— there is a little, forlorn hoy in me, too —a poor, crying,, whimpering, babyish little boy, who dreamed of you and longed for you and was promised you, and who will never get-well of losing you.'

His face hardened as he looked over his shoulder. "I shall never wed any woman but you. Can you feel aa deeply as that? Will you wed no man but me?" She fluttered the cherry ribbons on the bonnet and fixed a stray curl in front of one ear. "Have you a right to ask that?

A few paces on he met Capt. Girnway, iawrty, debonair, smiling, handsome in his brass-buttoned uniform of the Carthage Grays. "I ha,ve just left the ferry, Mr. Rae.

With a tetf-smothered-''thank you," he passed on, not trusting himself to say more to one who was not only the enemy of his .people, hut bent, seemingly, on deluding a young woman to the loss of her soul. He heard their voices in cheerful greeting, but did not turn back; With eyes to the front and shoulders squared he kept stiffly on his way through the silent, deserted streets to the ferry. Fifteen minutes' walk brought hiia to the now busy waterside'. The ferry, a fiat boat propelled by long oars, was landing when he came into view, and he saw his father's wagon driven on. He sped down the hill, pushed through the crowd of soldiers standing about, and hurried forward on the boat to let the old man know he had come. But on the seat was another than his father. He recognized the man, and called to him. "What are you doing there, Brother Keaton? Where's my father?" The man had shrunk back under the wagon-cover, having seemingly been frightened by the soldier?. _ "I've taken your father's place. Brother Rae.rt "Did he cross with Brother Wright?" - »Yes—he—" The man hesitated. Then came an interruption from the shore. "Come, clear the gangway there so we can load! Here are some more of the damned rats we've hunted out of their, holes!" The speaker made a half-playful lunge with his bayonet at a gaunt, yellow-faced specter of a man who staggered on to the boat with a child in his arms wrapped in a tattered blue quilt. A gust of the chilly wind picked his shapeless, loose-fitting hat off as ho leaped to avoid the bayonet-point, and Lis head was seen to be shaven. The crowd on the bank, laughed loud at his clumsiness and at his grotesque head. Joel Rae rah to help him forward on the boat. "Thank you, brother—I'm Just up from the fever-bed—they shaved my head for it-and so 1 lost my hat-* thank you—here we shall be warm If only the sun cornea out" Joel went back to help on others who came, a feeble, bedraggled dozen or so that had clung despairingly to their only shelter,.. until they were driven out _ , •». "You can stay here'In safety, you know, if you renounce Joseph Smith and his works—they will give you food and shelter.'' He repeated it to each little group of the dispirited wretches as they staggered past him, but they replied staunchly by word or look, and one man, in the throes of a chill, swung his cap and uttered a feeble "Hurrah for the new Zion!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) LEARNED LESSON TOO WELL Reporter Went to Extremes In Deal re for Caution. "My boy," said the editor of the Billsvllle Bugle to the new reporter, "you lack caution. You must learn not to state things as facts until they are proved facts—otherwise you are very apt to get us into libel suits. Do not say the cashier who stole the funds;' say 'the cashier who is alleged to have stolen the funds.' That's all now, and—ah—turn in a stickful about that second ward social last night" Owing to an influx of visitors, it was late in the afternoon before the genial editor of the Bugle caught a glimpse of the great family daily. Halfway down the social columns his eye lit on the following cautious paragraph: "It is rumored that a card party was given last evening to a number of reputed ladies of second ward. Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the hostess, and the festivities are reported to have continued until 10:30 in the evening. It is alleged that the affair was a social function given to the ladies of the 8econd Ward Cinch club, and that, with the exception of Mrs. James BllwUUger, who says the comes from Leavits Junction, none but members were . present. The reputed hostess insists that coffee and wafers alone were served as refreshments. "The Smith woman claims to he the wife of John Smith, the so-called 'Honest Shoe Man/ of 315 East State street." Shortly afterward a whirling mass, claiming to be a reporter on the Bugle, flew 15 feet into the street and landed with what bystanders assert was a dull, sickening thud.—-Puck. Deaf and Dumb 8trikers* Remarkable was a strike of deaf and dumb workmen in Australia. These silent workers had a strong union, and when they gathered If the street around the beleaguered factory and excitedly began to wriggle their fingers at each other the sight was worth seeing. It is said that much unlawful and riot provoking language was used without one word being spoken. It would be easier for most people to do their duty if they could be made to suspect that they ought to be doing something else.

You see, we were shifting all the time and never could tell whom we were going to run up j against. And the girls—I mean the ' country girls—If they saw their fate ( or affinity or whatever you like to call I him they would drop as If struck by a j bullet. ! "Bill Havens was a handsome young , fellow with a devil-may-care smile ! that would drop any girl. One day when our skirmish.line was feeling for the enemy we stood at rest near a farmhouse, on the gallery of which were a couple of girls. Bill sang out: 'Hurrah! We're going to have a Jolly fight)' One of the girls turned pale, j but she gave Bill a look that I could | not quite .'ret out of my mind for some . time. I wished she'd given it to me. j "The Johnnies weren't where we , thought they were and we didn't have j to fight after all. We went into camp near by and didn't move for a week. Meanwhile Bill had made the acquaintance of the girl who had looked at him and though he said nothing about it I knew there was a love affair going on. She couldn't have been more than seventeen—Bill was only nineteen him- j self—wore her skirts to the top of her : boots and her hair cut square around > her neck, as most of the young south- j era girls then wore the hair. I knew ; it wis a bad case of love fever, for when we broke camp and moved on ! down south the girl was standing on the gallery and I saw her with my own eyes drop in a heap just as Bill's waving handkerchief passed out of sight. "You must remember that the war lasted four years, and all that time the armies kept moving here and there, back and forth, places often occupied by the Johnnies and rebs successively. I remember entering a beautiful southern town in 'G2 and was impressed with the magnificent trees that surrounded It. I went into the same place a year later after the Confederates had occupied It and every tree had been cut down to give a clear sweep for artillery. I would never have knowu I was in the same place. "Well, about a year and a half after we had camped near the farmhouse where Bill met the girl we went through one of the biggest battles of the war. After it was over the Confederates withdrew, as they usually did, and leaving men to piok up the wounded and bury the dead we went on after them. Bill Havens was among the missing. He was never accounted for till he accounted for himself nearly three months afterward, and this is the account he gave. You needn't believe it unless you want to, but there were stranger things than even this happened in that war. "During a charge Bill had fallen, pierced by a bullet In the chest He kept his consciousness for awhile amid a din of firing, then fainted from loss of blood. The next thing he was con- ' 8cious of was hearing a bird singing and not another sound. The army had moved on; the men left to bury the dead and succor the wounded had moved on, too, leaving Bill lying under bushes where they hadn't seen him. i Death seemed only put off. It might ; be years before his body would be ' found. j "Now I'm going to leave Bill to starve ' to death or die of his wound and twist my story to the girl he had met long before. She was sitting on the gallery where she had last seen Bill, thinking about him, of course, when she heard something drop lightly on the steps before her. Looking down she saw a gold watch chain with a piece of white paper tied to it She picked It up and read the paper. «It was written In blood and read: 'Union soldier dying. Help.' "She didn't wait to speculate on how the chain eot there: she knew all about the oattte ami rusuea on on a semvi. calling 03 she wt^ii M '«** yUc he a:'J a faint answer, and going to the spot found the man sheJoved. "Bill had taken I7.a wutcU chum, uot.n piece of paper from hla pocket, brolcci off a twig and written the uie*sa:;e with his own blood. Then he raiumed it down his musket mid tired it ut mi angle." The listeners rose ludlgnuntly. muttering, "When are we to get HI' of these stories of trie civil arV" "When wo vols'are a ! dead," snUi the story teller.

May Make Binder Twine Governor Warner's visit to Michigan City, Ind., recently, to further acquaint himself with the practical value of the binder twine industry in connection with the employment of con* victs in the prisons of our state, makes it probable that legislative consideration will be given to that subject at the coming session. The binder twine market is now controlled by a combination or trust which enforces a price of eleven cents a pound. It is being made and so.d at nine cents a pound by prison au thonties, and the profit is good. Michigan lesislators will do well to give the binder twine subject all the con* sideration it would seem to deserve. Inasmuch as it does not compete with any established Michigan industry and would not be objected to by the representatives of any of the trades or labor associations, it would seem desirable from every point of view. Now is a good time to subscribe or renew your subscription to the DISPATCH as we have a few more of the Farm Journal subscriptions to dispose of and will send both papers for the price of your home paper—$1.00.

Heart Strength Heart Strength, or Heart WtakoeM, means Nerve Btreiifth, or Nerve Weaknetfr-nothin* mora. Fos> ttlvely, not one weak heart In a hundred is, In itself, actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must have, more power, more •lability, more oontrolllnt, more governing Strength. Without that the Heart-must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine, Dr. Shoop's Restorative has In the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Snoop first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; it strengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help. If yon would have strong Hearts, strong digestion, strengthen these nerves — re-establish them as needed, with Dr. Shoop's Restorative JUTOXXfOliL XtOCAL The ioe man will take a back ttftt for a few months while the coal man will be in the front.

ROBERT STUART MAC ARTHUR Pastor Calvary Baptist Church, Mew York. The Christmast i d e celebrates the birth-festival of our Lord. The i, incarnation o f Christ is the central thought in the history of the world. It is the e v e n t around which all other events revolve in smaller or larger circles. All the great facts of history previous to His coming had reference to His advent; all the events since look back to that advent as the beginning of a new era. All lines of previous history converge to the manger and the cross; all lines of history since diverge from these two epochal events. The birth of Christ was the beginning <?f a new race, and the observance of that birth is still the jubilee of this new race. Angels Joined in the advent of Christ. wJtb jtfolo and choral song as He left the •osom of the Father to become the child of Mary in the manger at Beth* lehem. This festival is still the most joyous feast of the church. It makes childhood more beautiful and glorious, and it lightens, the burdens of age and sorrow with its tender memories and its triumphant prophesies. In the chill of midwinter in no/th^rn climes it kindles a fire of hop* and joy in even* home-: and heart. *t is prophetic of the golden age when Christ shall -vjrue again, when evil shall bo overthrown, and when - the song* of a redeemed humanity shall sweep over the universe. By the gifts which characterize this season we commemorate God's great Gift, the unspeakable gift of His Son to a world lost in sin and wandering In darknen. No one can rightly estimate the blessings which flow every year to all classes and conditions of men from the tender memories and gentle charities called forth by the remembrance of the Holy Child, Jesus. His birth has exalted the poetry, the music and the art of toe centuries. It has changed all social customs and religions rituals. It has given a new glory to human life and a new trend to eternity. This is the time when all bitterness should be forgotten, ail family feuds reconciled and all life glorified. It is unspeakably sad that In the name of Jesus Christ Russian murderers are slaughtering the Jewish people, the ancient and historic race which gave us the Christ It is a cause for profound humiliation that superstition, bigotry and virtual idolatry still abound under the shelter of the Christian name. But, marvelous and blessed as was the Incarnation of Christ, we know neither the day, the month nor the year when it took place. Dionysius the Small, about the year A. D. 526, fixed the birth of Christ in the seven hundred and fifty-fourth year of Rome; but all scholars know that he was in error by at least four years. We, know that Jesus was born before the death of Herod the Great; and we know that Herod died about the first of April in the year 750 6f Rome. It Is not too much to say that in all probability Chrtst was born four or five years before the dale usually given; so that this present year ought to be 1910 or 1911. There is no doubt thai the selection of the 25th of December as the day and the month was due to the existence of heathen festivals about that season of the year. The Christmas observance is thus a transfiguration of such heathen festivals as Saturnalia, Juvenalia and Brumalia. These were observed in the month of December to commemorate the golden age of universal freedom and in honor of the unconquered sun. There was a beautiful significance in the symbolic reference to the turning of the sun after the 25th of December. The natural sun thus began a new career and was illustrative of the birth of Christ as the Sun of Righteousnes and the Light of the World. The 20th of May and the 20th of April were once observed as the birthday of Christ. The 6th of January was also observed as the date of both His birth and His baptism. The day, the month and the year of His birth will never be known. It was vastly more important that we should know Christ as spiritual Lord and Master rather than thai we should know Him after the flesh. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. "AND A LITTLE I CHILD SHALL LEAD T H E M " ' REV. JOHN TALBOT SM ITH, LL. D. President Catholic Summer School of America. The entire meaning of the festival of Christmas is contained in these words. It is the festival of the children, because on this day God the Son, the Second Person of t h e Blessed Trinity, took upon Him humau nature in the shape of a helpless and beautiful child. Various meanings have been read into the celebration of the nativity of Christ—the humanitarian regards it as the proper placing of the human individual in the economic system; the mere materialist looks upon it as the protest of infant right against adult might; the It as the emphasis of nature upon the necessity of^traiaina: properly th# ndxt generation: the; sentimentalist sees in it a nooW tribute to the beau* ty and lnnocenoT of the child. It is u e c ^ i & l b 1 ren^krhTw>reJ? ttitt \t the child hstf to depend 'upon these classes1 for due refpecf and real train* ing there wo^ld'be^o^ftrfstmas.rio deification of innocence and helpless* nestr/and no emphasis u|Kta duties* to the next feneration. The festival of Christmas'Is' truly the1 social, economic, political and rellgton* anniversary jf the human child, through"which be makes his demand upon the world tor existence, care.' training^ and love; the right of an Immortal soul as well as of a future7' citizen. The right• minded part of society accepts the responsibility with joy, and its beet efforts, in fact all its efforts, are expended on the work <ft preparation for the coming of the £bJhtf Not only do parents labor, bat the legislators make laws, teachers teach, artists create ' and ' commerce agonize* for the child—-for the next generation. Therefore the monumental truth of modern -civilization is expressed' tn the text: And a little child shall lead them. The entire meaning of the festival of Christmas is contained in these words. It is the festival of the children, because on . this day God; the Son, the Second Persoa of the Blessed Trinity, took upon Him human nature in the shape of a helpless and beautiful child. Various meanings iyT A Message of Peace in the Christmas Season Bv RT. REV. DAVID HUMMELL G RBXX Coadjutor Bishop of New York. The Christmas season comes with i t s message of peaceL-lo_a_world torn and rent with many divisions, a world in which t h e r e is much strife. This strife is to be allayed and. these divisions healed not by any. process of statutory enactment, but by that spirit of brotherly love and kindness which takes possession of the human heart at Christmastide. Just so far as that spirit continues regnant in the hearts of men throughout the year will the Christmas, season be prolonged ana continue to give its blessings to mankind. Perhaps one lesson which the Christmas season teaches above a)l others is that, in order to enter the kingdom of peace and happiness, we must become as a little child. And Jet that appealing love which the little child inspires become a persisting force in our lives! I once saw all the traffic In Fifth avenue stopped by a little child. Its mother was wheeling it across the street in its baby carriage and in the middle of the thoroughfare, crowded with vehicles of all kinds, she became panic-stricken and did not know what to do or which way to turn. But, suddenly, all the drivers reined in their horses, all the chauffeurs stopped their automobiles, and all the teamsters palled up their trucks—the traffic of the busy avenue had been brought to a standstill by a little child. So will the noise and the strife and the confusion of the world be arrested and checked by the little Christmas Child. Sure To Be Appreciated.

In 1896 Christopher Shaffmaster, a wealthy retired Brrmsoa township faroier", Made a wilL leaving the larger part of his property to his wife, the balance going to a son and daughter. For over 10 years he e-nffered from a malignant cancer tn his face, dying last June. His will when read was found to have-a elans* added in 1905 practically tutting out bis former bequests to his wife, leaving her the use of the village residence and of 80 acres of land without buildings so long as she remained his widow. At her death the daughter was to get the property, while the son got $16,000 to $17,000. Mrs. Shaffmaster, 70 years of age, was surprised at the announcement, and immediately began a contest which resulted in the jury sustaining the wUl. Net a Vslid Marriage, About three weeks ago Frederick Jenderreeke and May Fulton were married in a den of lions as an attraction for a Saginaw theater.

"Miss" Fulton, who Is but 19, married Alonso Broughtott'ln St. Charles two years ago. He deserted her, she says, soon afterward going to Pennayl* vsnta and this fall he brought suit for divorce. 8he was notified a month ago of the suit by service,- but mistook the notice for an actual .decree granting her a divorce. Yesterday In the circuit court she disclosed the facts and the couple, who are Jiving here, will have to be married over again. MICHIGAN IN BRIEF.

Pickle hunted up Reed. "I will whip you the first time I have a chance," said Reed to Nlms when they met .in the hall, shaking his fist under his professor's nose. "What will I be doing all the time you are 'whipping' me?" the professor coyly inquired. They met at 5 o'clock outside the college grounds, a few words were passed and they clinched.

Thieves Shot and Run. ; Lying in wait for a gang of thieves Who have been robbing freight cars in the vicinity of Ann Arbor of late, Sheriff Dull and two of his deputies brought about a lively exchange of shots with the thieves about 7 o'clock last night. *jofai "slayer;^-farmer, 11 v ing near the Pere Marquette tracks just outside of town, reported to the sheriff that he had found concealed in his barn a quantity of goods in small package*, evidently placed there by the freight car thieves. The officers planned an ambush, but it was spoiled when one of the trio of suspects detected the officers drawing down upon them through the darkness. They broke and ran, the officers firing at them, without hitting anybody. The thieves returned the fire, with a like result. The goods have been removed to the jail, and the sheriff's force is trying to track the thieves. Pound Parents Dead. Mr. and Mrs. Tahlmeier were found dead in their home by their daughter, Mrs. Joseph Kaul, who lives in the country east of Saginaw, and who came for a visit. The post-mortem showed death the result of asphyxiation i from carbonic acid gas, presumably from a coal stove, the magazine of which was clogged. It is believed they met death on Friday night, the 7th, when they were last seen alive. Mrs. Kaul found her father lying on his back in bed, undressed and apparently sleeping. Mrs, Tahjmeier, partly dressed and with a blanket thrown over her shoulder, was kneeling by the bedside, as if in.prayer^. ; The. authorities believe Mrs. Tahlmeier was awakened* when nearly overcome by the deadly fumes, and finding her husband lifeless by her side sought tokeecape, but got no farther than to tire deerj sinking down from weakness and the exerttan. c ATTRACTION* OF WjMTtRN .CANADA. < » r"; •• ! * * * ' • • * * » < • , h • The ma&aer in which foe Canadian West has attracted setters in recent years has caused many of onr Journals and public men to "sit up and take notice," to use a current phrase. From every European country and from almost every State in the Union large number of settlers have flocked to the prairie provinces of Canada, where free homesteads and wide opportunities are open to ail who desire to avail themselves of them. The greatest factor in attracting settlers lies la the inherent richness of soil and suitability of climate for producing what is universally considered to be the finest wheat in the world—the "No. 1 Hard" of Canadian growth—and other cereals that rank in the very first dais. This year the harvest returns were: Wheat, W,- 000,000 bushels; oats, 70,000,000 bushels; barley, 17.000,000 bushels; and when it Is considered that the entire population of the three provinces—as evidenced by the quinquennial census Just completed—is only 810,000, it is easily seen that the lure of the Canadian West Is in its agricultural potentialities. Another feature which attracts the settler is that railway construction is proceeding with such rapidity that almost every district is within easy reach of outside markets, and that good prices for all lines of farm products rule practically from the commencement of agricultural operations. This is a factor which did not prevail when the earlier settlements in the West were made in Canada and in the United States, and has given a great impetus to Canadian Western settlement in recent years. The free grant system of homesteads which prevails in the prairie provinces, by which every settler who is able and willing to comply with the conditions of actual settlement (by no means onerous) is given 160 acres free, except $10 for entry, is a great drawing card, and in the last fiscal year gathered in over 189,000 additional to _the_we8tern population, of which 57,796 were from the United States. The further fact, as is strongly brought about by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere, that a splendid common school system, practically free, prevails throughout the entire country, and Is easy of access in even the most remote districts, is another great inducement to the settler who has the future welfare of his family In mind, and this, coupled with the fact that western Canadian law and order are proverbial, completes a circle of good and sufficient reasons why the tide of immigration has set in so steadily toward the country to the north of our boundary line.

Then he started to walk home and was on the mountain when the cries of a. wildcat alarmed him. A few minutes later he saw the beast ten feet In front of him. The animal finally sprang. He jumped aside and as the body of the cat struck the road be leaped upon It. For several minutes the fight between the wild animal and the man went on. At length by a quick swing he broke the animal's back. A physician dressed the several deep scratches on his face and bands, but otherwise he was uninjured, T R Y I N G E X P E R I E N C E .

To Every Man and Woman in Livingsson County • Thereto be a nation-wide drive- December 16 to 25—to increase the membership of the American Red Cross.

America is at last looking into the grim face of war with its thousand horrors. We can no longer doubt that some of our boys will die somewhere in France, Thousands more will fall wounded in the withering fire of the -German barrage. Other thousands as the days grow will be greviously sick in the bass hospitals. They are our boys, flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone—loyal Americans, walking m the hard paths of duty. Is there anything too good for them?

FIRST MADE USE OF IN 1870 '*<;v At That Time ft Was Condemned by the Civilized World, but the German Military Leaders Have Never Abandoned It. Ample proof thai the march of the German armies t)i rough Belgium was marked by massacres and cruelties almost beyond belief is given in a document made public by the committee on public information, from which the following is taken: The massacres in Belgium and northern France were a part of the German system of frightfulness. Another feature of this system was the use of civilians as hostages and for screens. In discussing the use of hostages the German War Book (Kriegsbrauch lm Landkriege) nays : "A new application of 'hostage right' was practiced by the German staff In the war of 1870, when it compelled leading citizens from French towns and villages to accompany trains and locomotives In order to protect t h e railway communications which were threatened by the people. Since the lives of peaceable inhabitants were, without any fault on their part, thereby exposed to grave danger, every writer outside Germany has stigmatized this measure as contrary to the law of nations and as unjustified towards the inhabitants of the country," Clung to Frightfulness. Although their deeds in the Franco- Prussian war had been universally condemned, as they themselves admitted, the leaders did not intend to abandon surh a useful measure of frightfulness. In L'lnterprete Milltaire the forms were provided for such acts In the next war. P>oth in Belgium and In France the Germans have constantly used hostages. The evidence is contained In the proclamations of the governing authorities ami a No in the diaries of the German soldiers. A few examples from these will illust r a t e the system whirl) was employed, A specimen of the arbitrariness and cruelty is fuTnKhed by the proclamation of Major Inorkmann, from whirh the following sections are presented : "After 0 a. m, on the 7th September, I will permit the houses in Heyne- Heusay, Grivognee, and Bois-de-P»reux to be Inhabited by the persons who lived in them formerly, as long as these persons are not forbidden to frequent these localities by official prohibition. Prominent People Hostages. "In order to be sure that the abovementioned permit will not be abused, the burgomasters of Reyne-Heusay and of Grlvecnee must immediately prepare lists of prominent persons who will he held as hostages for 24 hours each at Fort Fleron. September (], 1914, for the first time (the period of detention shall be) from 0 p. m. until September 7 at midday. "The life of these hnstaces depends • on the population of the above-mentioned communes remaining quiet un- •der nil circumstances. "During the night it Is severely forbidden to show any luminous signals. Bicycles are permitted only between 7 a. m. and fi p. m. (German time). "From the list which is submitted to me I shall designate prominent persons who shall be hostages from noon of one day until the following midday. If the substitute is not there in due time, the hostage must remain another 24 hours at the fort. After these 24 hours the hostace will incur the penally of death, if the substitute falls , to appear. "Priests, burgomasters, nnd the other members of the council are to be taken first ns hostages. "I insist that all civilians who move about in my district . . . show their respect to the German officers by taking off their hats, or lifting their h a n d s to their heads In military salute. I n case of doubt, every German soldier must be saluted. Anyone who does not do this must erpect the Germ a n military to make themselves respected by every' means." This Is fin invitation to a service In memory of 60 men and women from one parish, of whom all but two were killed by t h e Germans in the massacre Of August 6 and 6, 1914. The closing sentences are: "Gentle Heart of Mary, be my refnge. *Otir Lady of Lonrdes, pray for ns. "St Joseph, patron of Belgian, pray for vm. "8t fF«i«1fcHn, patron of the parish, pray f o r m *9aint« fcarbe, patroness of kindly tattfe, pray for us." After reading such ghastly accounts. many of them written by German eye witnesses, and knowing that si in ill" tales were published widely In the German newspapers, it is difficult to read with patience such words as these : "The German army (In which I of course Include the navy) is today the greatest institute for moral education in the world." "The German soldiers alone are thoroughly disciplined, and have never so much as hurt a hair of a single innocent human being."—Houston Stewart Gliamberluln, in Kriegsaufsdtze, "War Fssays," 1014. "We see everywhere how our soldiers respect the sacred defenselessness of woman and child."—Prof. G. Roethe, in Deutsche Kedeu in Schwerer Zeit, "German .Speeches In Difficult Days." Hostages' Lives Hung by Thread. "In order to Insure sufficiently the safety of our troops and the tranquility of the population of Reims, the persons mentioned have been seized as hostages by the commander of the German army. These hostages will be shot If there Is the least disorder. On the other hand, if the town remains perfectly calm and quiet these hostages and inhabitants will be placed under the protection of the German army. "THE GENERAL COMMANDING. "Reims, 12th September, 1914." Beneath this proclamation there were posted the names of 81 hostages and a statement that others had also been seized as hostages. The lives of all these men depended In reality upon the Interpretation which the German military authorities might give to the elastic phrase, "the least disorder," in the proclamation. Hugh Gibson, in a Journal from our Legation In Belgium, page 184, explains what was likely to h a p p e n : "Another thing is, that on entering a town, they hold the burgomaster, the procureur du roi. and other authorities as hostages to insure pood behavior by the population. Of course, the hoodlum class would like nothing better than to see their natural enemies, the (]('U'n(]crs of law and order, ignominiously shot, nnd they do not restrain themselves a bit on account of the hostages."

Stracbey, editor of the Spectator (London), once an advocate of the drink tratiic, has since the beginning of the war made prohibition the policy of his paper. In a recent public address he told this story : "A city, though its armies were victorious, was In dire straits for food. Strict search was made to see that nothing that could be used for food should be wasted, and lo, a great store of barley and sugar was found. And t h e generul thanked God that they were saved. There was enough barley and sugar to enable them to hold out till the re-victualling that was sure to come In a few mouths. The barley, mixed with corn, would make excellent bread and the sugar would save the children. " 'Alas,' said the civil authorities, 'all this barley and sugar must be t u r n e d into b e e r ; we dare not touch It' " T h e general, who was a simple soldier and did" not understand polities, was angry. 'This is a town of sane people, not a lunatic asylum, nobody can be allowed to turn into beer what i might be made into bread and so save I the people.' J "But it was even so. T h e city fell and the conquerors drank the beer!" Mr. Strachey hammered his point home with these w o r d s : "The proper thing to do, the straight thing to do, the only honorable thing to do, is to stop the brewers and give the people bread. With famine facing the world, the government must stay the food destroyers on land as well uy on sea, if we nre to have victory." CANADA'S W H I T E MAP.

BRUCE in Utica Globe.) H E N u young man ut a Christinas parly leads, with an a t t e m p t at nonchalance, some charming young lady beneath a bough of mistletoe in order to win a "mistletoe kiss" he is of the opinion that he is luring the young lady into a situation where, by the decree of an ancient custom, she must forfeit the aforesaid kiss. f r a n k n e s s compels me to confess that the luring is done by the young lady. Eor their Christmas parties they secure and suspend the mistletoe and she is indeed a most sedate and rather chilling young person who will not, during the festivities, allow herself to be "lured" beneath the mistletoe. And all this is quite within her rights. It is a custom she inherited from ancestors who dwelt in Britain or Scandinavia, centuries ago. Today the mistletoe and the mistletoe kiss are associated only with Christmas. But, in truth, mistletoe had its significance centuries before the birth in Bethlehem which gave us Christmas. Scandinavians claim that mistletoe customs originated with them, but there is an English legend antedating those of Scandinavia, which tells how the girls of semlharbaric Britain, in the golden age of the Druids, did themselves hung up boughs of mistletoe and lure young men into their embrace. According to this legend Chelm, an ancient high priest, had a great temple In the forest where he taught young men to become priests. So popular did this temple become that half the young men of the countryside were leaving their homes and people, and becoming Druid priests. There was great need of the young men it) the camps to hunt and fish and to plant, and, above nil, there were so many more maidens than young men left that they decided something must be done to reclaim them. The girls sought an ancient witch and asked her help. "Pick yonder mistletoe that grows without roots upon the trees, go to the edge of tin1 forest round about the tree temple of Chelm and hang it there all around and about the forest. Stand in waiting there, well hidden, until the young men coining forth from t h e forest each night to bring food to t h e temple, are under the mistletoe, then step forth. They will clasp you and kiss you whereupon do you scream right lustily and the young men shall be yours." How the Girls Won Back the Men. The maidens followed this advice and hung the mistletoe In festoons about the edge of the forest. Standing under it, the young men felt impelled to kiss the maidens who stepped forth to greet them. The maidens, a s instructed, screamed lustily and Chelm and other of the old Druid priests rushed forth, fearing their young men were being murdered. When the good old Druids saw the young men embracing the maidens they drove them away, for they would have no one among them who had ought to do with women. And so. through the peculiar influe n c e of the mistletoe, the maidens won back the young men, but the custom of hanging up mistletoe was kept tip. L a t e r after the introduction of Christianity, the custom was added to t h e Christmas festivities. Christmas Festivities. From Scandinavian mythology comes t h e wetrd but interesting story of the origin of mistletoe, that pale-berried p a r a s i t e of the forest. One of the best of these legends is that of Baldur, son of Wodin, in the days when those strange gods a r e said to have walked and talked with the mortals on earth, a s did Jupiter and Apollo and Diana and Latonio and t h e other gods and goddesses of Olympus. Baldur was the Scandinavian god of sunshine and s u m m e r and was nat- SUfiaily beloved by all except Loki, t h e jpai of hearth fires. For, whHe the le rushed out of doors to see Balt) n* when he brought the summer sun. they had no use for Loki until the next Winter, consequently Loki disliked Baldur. Nanna, goddess of the blossoms and wife of Baldur, dreamed terrible d r e a m s of the death of Baldur, and she \vvnt to the great god Wodin, her father-in-law, and told him and he was grtT.tlv troubled. Bat messenger* tvt>* it forth throughout the world and had everything swear to do Baldur no harm. Everything animate and inanimate, the animals and men and fish and birds, the w a t e r and e a r t h and rocks and trees, the winds and clouds and rain and snow, all agreed never to harm Baldur. "Go forth and weep no more, daughter," said Wodin to Nanna, "no harm can now come to your husband, my son," and Nanna went forth happy. After that all t h e gods used to amuse themselves hurling stones and axes and spears at Baldur and he stood and laughed at them, because neither wood nor petal nor anything could harm him. It was great sport for everyone. One day while at this sport an old woman asked Nanna why they were trying to kill Baldur. "Everything has promised never to harm him," she explained. "Everything?" queried the old woman. "Except the mistletoe, what can that little shrub do?" Nanna laughed scornfully. The old woman hurried away. Of course it was Loki in disguise. She got a twig of mistletoe and hardened it by charring the outside before the fire, fitted the point to a lance and hurled it at Baldur, whereupon it pierced his heart and he fell dead. Dedicated to Love and Affection. As a peace offering the gods dedicated the mistletoe to love and affection and peace just so long as it never touched Loki's territory, the ground. Ever' since then the mistletoe h a s grown without roots, far away from the ground, and even to this day it is used by suspending it above the floor or ground. And so it is that both ancient Britain and Scandinavia lay their claim to mistletoe customs and the origin of suspending a branch of it beneath which youth may kiss, T h e r e Is little doubt but what the custom was in use a thousand years before the origin of Christinas. While the story of the maidens who lured back to their camps, and to themselves, the young men who were about to become Druid priests, gives good account of our custom of kissing beneath the mistletoe today, to Scandinavia also belongs much c r e d i t When those brave and romantic Scandinavians looked forward to Valhalla as their heaven, and worshiped the gods Thor and Wodin on Thor's day and Wodin's day (which Is where we get our Thursday and Wednesday), they used to have certain great feast days for their gods. It became the custom, on observing T h o r ' s day, to build great fires. These were called " J u u l " fires. As everyone knows, the Scandinavian " J " is pronounced quite like our pronunciation of the letter "Y," consequently those fires were spoken of as "Yule" *ires. T h e brighter the fires, the higher the flames towered through the forests where the Scandinavians used to gather to pay honor to the great god Thor, the greater pleased was Thor, and so it became necessary to pickout the best of wood tc burn. Then men would go into the forest looking for " J u u l " logs, and they soon learned that the trees upon which much mistletoe clung would give the brightest fires. They did not know the reason for this, and believed that it was due to the work of the great Thor hiraself who caused the mistletoe to grow on those trees without roots solely as a means of letting his people know which trees were best for burning in his honor. And so whenever anyone met under the mistletoe in the great forests, no m a t t e r how great enemies they were, they dropped their weapons and greeted each other kindly, nor would they take up a r m s against each other until the sunrise of another day. This was their tribute in memory of Thor. * A Fetish of Good Luck. They began to take bits of the mistletoe into their homes and hang it over the doorways, and If any enemies came, they could not enter the houses beneath the mistletoe without becoming frienj^s to the people inside so long as they remained there. From this c a m e the habit of greeting people who stepped under t h e mistletoe with an embrace or a kiss, and at great Indoor feasts the mistletoe was hung u p in the room and the people greeted each other with kisses. Later this mistletoe hanging at feasts came to be put In use only at the Christmas feast and from that grew the custom of hanging up the mistletoe In order that any standing beneath it might be kissed by the first person who caught her there. Few if any growing things are the subject of as many ancient legends, customs and beliefs as the mistletoe. The fact that the ancient Celts in their druidical religion had two great festivals, one in J u n e and the other In December, the latter being equivalent to our Christmas. In both of these great festivals the g a t h e r i n g of the mistletoe was a sacred rite. Pliny in his Natural History describes the ceremony. Speaking of the Druids' worship of the oak, he s a y s : "They believe that whatever grows on these trees is sent from heaven and is a sign that the tree has been chosen by the God himself. The mistletoe is very rarely to be met with, but when it is found they gather it with solemn ceremony. This they do especially on the sixth day of the moon, because by the sixth day the moon has plenty of vigor and lias not run half its course. "After the preparations have been made for a sacrifice and a feast under the tree they hall it as the universal healer and bring to the spot two white bulls whose horns have never been bound before. A priest, clad in a white robe, climbs the tree and with a golden sickle cuts the mistletoe, which is caught in a white cloth. Then they sacrifice the victims, praying that God may make his own gift to prosper with those upon whom he has bestowed it. "They believe that a potion prepared from mistletoe will increase their flocks and that the plant is a remedy against all poison." It was believed to he a remedy for many ills and this belief is still to be found in many remote places in Europe. In Holstein, for example, the mistletoe is regarded as a healing remedy for wounds and in Lacaune, France, It Is always administered by the native people as an antidote for poison. They apply the plant to the stomach of the patient and give him a solution of it to drink as well. The Gaelic word for mistletoe is "an t'nil loc," which means "all healer," and this is probably what the Druids called it in ancient times. In the northeast of Scotland people used to cut withes of mistletoe at the March full m o o n ; tliese they bent in circles and kept for a year to cure hectic fevers and other troubles. In some p a r t s of Germany the mistletoe is especially esteemed as a remedy for the ailments of children, who sometimes wear it hung around the neck as an amulet. In Sweden on midsummer eve mistletoe is diligently sought after, the people believing it to he possessed of many mystic qualities, and that if a sprig of it is attached to the cejling of the dwelling house, the horse's stall or cow's crib, the "trolls" or evil spirits will then be powerless to Injure either man or beast. Branches of the plant are commonly seen in farmhouses hanging from the celling to protect the dwellings from all harm, but especially from fire, and persons afflicted with the falling sickness think they can wurd off all a t t a c k s of the malady by carrying about with them a knife which has a handle of mistletoe. .A Swedish remedy for other complaints is to hang a sprig of mistletoe round the sufferer's neck or to m a k e him wear on his finger a ring made from the p l a n t Moreover they fashion divining rods of mistletoe or of four different kinds of wood, one of which must be mistletoe. The treasure seeker places the rod on the ground after sundown and when it rests directly over the t r e a s u r e t h e rod begins to move as If it were alive. Like their Swedish neighbors, many German p e a s a n t s consider the mistletoe a powerful charm against evil spiri t s Makes Shaving Easy T h e wonderful skin food and "wrinkle chaser."

Berlin, via London.—The German war office announced Sunday: "An armistice agreement was signed at Brest Litovak. yesterday by plenl potentiary representatives of :':e ltussian upper army administration on the one hand and those of the upper army administration of Germany, Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria a^d Turkey on the other hand. "The armistice begins at noon, December 17, and remains in force until .Taraary 14. 1918.

SAYS TEAM WORK IS ASSURED Meeting Got T o g e t h e r Principally on Economic S i t u a t i o n , Food, Embargo and Finance. Petrcgrad — Leon Trctzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, declared at a nut ling of the council of soldiers' and workmen's delegates Sunday that an armistice governing operations on the Russian front had been signed, lie added that peace negotiations would be begun immediately. The foreign minister announced that for a time a break in the negotiations seemed imminent because General Hoffman, the German negotiator, insisted on the right to transfer troops in small units. The German commai* der finally accepted the Russian forml i b . "\VV. can't and won't aid militarism In any way," M, Trtozky said. "This question of transferring troops was mo^L fundamental. I think our formu'a is considered by our Allies to be satis faertcry " The RU-"MI:I delegates constituting the armisC'ce committee at Brest-Lilovsk have advised the Bolsheviki authorities at the Smolny Institute that an agreement wns re-ached wi'h the Germans concerning the transfer of troops. It was to this effect: "Both sides signing this agreement bind themselves until January M. IMS, t:v ' '• carry on op< rative military transfer,- on the front from the Baltic to the Bhick Sea, except such transfers as wore already 1 egun up to tin1 moment of signing this agreement." COAL SHIPS SEIZED IN DETROIT Drastic Action Taken to Relieve Fuel Famine. Detroit Spectacular, official action was taken by State Fuel Administrator "W. K. Prudden, Saturday and Sunday to relieve the fuel famine that has been menacing Detroit and Michigan for several weeks past, and these developments resulted: Four big lake freighters, consignee! to ports on the upper lakes, and laden with approximately 34,000 tons of coal, were seized under special authorization of the national fuel administration and their cargoes diverted to Industrial and domestic use in ihis city and state Mr. Prudden sent to National Tuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield, at Washington, by telegraph, recommendation that every large industrial plant in Detroit and Michigan, and throughcut the nation, except those orimarily engaged in makng munitions of war, shut down and absolutely suspend operations, and that every theatre and all public buildings and lodge halls, not needed for the successful prosecution of the war, close their doors for one week. He suggested that the suspension be officially decreed by National Administrator Garfield, and that it be effective for the week beginning December 24.

Detroit.—Detroit capitalists, principally automobile manufacturers, last Friday organized the Detroit Shell company, capitalized at $2,000,000, and possessing an initial order for $30,- 000,000 worth of munitions. The amount of future orders wi'l be governed only by the length of the war. i j Two large plants now vacant are under consideration, but if satisfac- ! tory arrangements cannot be made, new buildings will be erected. j Between 8,000 and $10,000 men will : be employed. Washington.—Creation of an Allied naval council of all nations at w*r with the Central powers was announced last Friday in a cablegram to the navy department from Admiral William S. Benson in Paris. Members of the council, established in accordance with plans of the inter, allied conference, will report to their respective governments with recommendations for action. The council will be composed of the minister of marine and chief of naval staff of each country. In the case of the United States this means Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson. As the meetings must be held in Europe, flag officers designated by their governments will represent the members from the United States and Japan. Vice Admiral Sims, commanding the.

Beakes, of Ann Arbor, assumed hi;; seat in the house on December 14, as representative of the Second Michigan district. As a result of a contest b^ginnin:* after the election in November, 191G, congress voted to unseat Mark P.. Bacon, of WTyandotte, and to seat Mr. Beakes, Mr. Beakes was immediately sworn in as a member of congress and re ceived congratulations from fellowmembers without regard to party. New York.—Peace was never mentioned at the allied conference in Paris, or at the supreme war council which met recently at Versailles, Colonel E. M. House, head of the Ameri lean mission which recently visited England and France, said Saturday on his arrival from Europe. Mr. House said that the allied conference "brought things to a focus." The allied naval conference, formation of which has just been announced in Washington, is the first result of the meetings of American delegates and representatives of the other allies, Mr. House said. "Before the conference," Mr. House asserted, "co-ordination was not going on well. "But we are working now well together. We got togeother principally on the economic situation, embargo, food and finance. I regard the trip as a complete success." Mr. House said that the governments tnibt ratify all action taken. He 3aid an announcement of the work accomplished by the American mission might be expected from Washington soon. The supreme war council, he said, is a permanent body and the United States has a permanent place in It, if it so desires. The matter of Mr. House making another trip to Europe soon is entirely at the disposition of President Wilson. "The morale among the people in both Great Britain and France is srlendid," Mr. House said. "Even French pacifists admit that th3 moral0 was never better. "American interests in Europe are almost paramount." TWO AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS SUNK Italian Destroyers Enter Harbor at Trieste to S t r i k e Blow. SERVICE FLAG HAS 11,490 STARS 17 AMERICANS DIE AT CAMBRAI U. S. Engineers Caught in German Advance Reported " M i s s i n g " . U. S. Steel Corporation Boasts Record for Enlistments. Washingtno. — Seventeen of the American engineers who dropped the;r shovels to pitch into the fkfntii'g when they were caught by the G'Tmv.i advance in front of Cambrai were reported Sunday as "mi-sing in iction.

Nearly all e>f th m are from New York City or nearby t r r r t o r y . None is from Michigan. Reports at the time trTri how, when the German crunter attack surged forward and caucht them between t.V lines, they dropped into shell holes, abandon d rai'roads they were building and, running close up beh'nd the British lines, waited for the thin British line to ^urge forward again.

New York.—A service flag with stars representing 11,490 employee ; who have enlisted or are otherwise enpaged in the nation's war prepara- ' tior.s has Veen unfurled in front of the offices of the United S:ates Steel corporation m Lo.wer Broadway. The flag measures 34 by 54 feet and represents the largest number of men engaged in war service of any of the companies displaying service flags here and is said to establish a national record. The Bell Telephone company flas hero displays 6,895 stars. Washington.—Two of Austria's battleships have fallen victim to the most daring naval raid of the war—the forcing of the harbor of Trieste by two intrepid Italian torpedo boat destroyers. A dispatch received at the Italian embassy thus recounts the 'exploit: "In the night of December 9-10, Italian torpedo boat destroyers en. tered Trieste harbor, passing the enemy fortifications and fired five torpedoes at two Austrian battleships, one of them being the Monarde. All five torpedoes exploded. One battleship foundered. The Italian destroyers were attacked by guns and torpedoes, but despite this they returned iu safety." SNOW STORM AIDS ROBBERS GREATER FOOD SAVING URGED New Regulations Recommend Cutting Sugar Consumption in Half. T w o Daylight Holdups Net Bandits Over $25,000. j Washington.—A sugar ration of three pounds for each person a month, la porkless day and one wheatless and; meatless meal a day will be recommended to householders in a new kitchen card soon to be put out by the food administration. Observance of wheatless and meatless meal3 are \ asked in addition to the present wheatless and meatless days. \ Normal consumption of sugar in the United States has been more than ; seven pounds a month for each person. Tf the new directions are followed universally, it will cut itB use to below half. j Chicago.—Working in a blinding snowstorm that enabled them to escape without leaving a trace behind, bank bandits staged two daring robberies shortly before noon here laat Thursday. Four men in an automobile held up the LaGrange State bank, locked the cashier in a vault and escaped with £25,000. A lone robber, armed with a rifle on which was a Maxic silencer, locked the manager and clerk of the Bruno Pinkert private bank In Cicero ,a suburb, in a vault and escaped with $900. ~0AL RELIEF PROVES MYTH THREE AVIATORS DIE IN FIRE Building at Training Camp Burns—One Was Detroit Man.

Cities to Dim "White W a y s " Thursdaya and Sundays. , Holds in Spite of Heavy Blows By I Teuton invaders. Washington.—Two "llghtless nights"' a week have now been ordered by the fuel administration. Sunday and Thursday of every week are to see the city "white ways" and advertising signs darkened, only necessary street lights used and on'y such lights as the law requires In offices and stores not open for business. The new order replaces one which became effective November 9 for tie dimming of electric displays, which the administration says has been a failure. '< London—The Italian line, although almost ceaselessly assailed In the mountain regions, is still intact and holding well except for a small recession here and there forced at the cost of extremely heavy casualties on the part of the Austro-German invaders. The Franco-Behgian front is Inactive except for local fighting, mostly due to German thrusts here and there delivered with the seeming intention of keeping the Anglo French command guessing as to the enemy intentions. In Palestine, the Brtish have scored a further advance northeast of Jemsale* «i. Lansing—Relief from the coal shortage, which last week seemed assured, has proven a myth and Michigan now is both desperate and destitute. This condition, however, prevails, practically throughout the nation an-1 National Fuel Administrator Garfield has redoubled efforts to release supplies held on tracks by car congestion. The state administrators office here is flooded with telegrams from all parts of the state telling of immediate need for coat Hundreds of towns are prractfcally without fuel but conditions are such that slight hope of relief can be held out to them. I Grow Grain in Western Canada, Make Profits, and Show Greater Patriotism. The nation-wide cry of "More Efficiency" bus now reached even the most remote agricultural sectlous and there is u general interest umongst the farmers to increase their products and to reduce their expenses. The need of foodstuffs Is greuter than the world has ever before known, and every effort Is being used to meet the world's food requirements, becoming more apparent every day. While it is true that this desire is attested by a general patriotism, there is an underlying factor in this extension work to secure some of the benefits that are being offered by a ready market at maximum prices. Wide-spread attention has been given to the opportunity in this respect in Western Canada, where fortunes are being made in a few crops out of grain at present prices. It has been found that the open, level prairie can be cultivated for wheat and other small grains at a minimum price, and during the past few years the yields have been more than satisfactory. Wheat crops of forty bushel to the acre have been common In Western Canada in the Inst three or four years, and with a present available price of over $2.00 per bushel this means a return oti investment and labor th;it cannot be duplicated elsewhere. This is made possible by the low priced lands that can be secured for grain growing. The range in price runs from $15 to $25 per acre, according to location and other local conditions. In this period of "more agricultural efficiency" it Is apparent at a glance that the farmer on low priced but high grade lands, growing his grain nt a minimum cost, is reaping a golden harvest with the highest percentage of profit. The cultivator of high priced farm lands has a big handicap to overcome in computing his profits on a $200 an acre farm as compared with the agriculturist reaping as great, if not greater return from $25 an acre land. It therefore becomes a question for the farmer himself to answer, whether ; he is doing himself and his country the best service, by devoting all his energies to working high priced land that yields no better return than land that can be secured at one-eighth the price. It is a case of getting either minimum or maximum quantity. Many have already decided on the alternative, and with their spare money invested in and now working Western Canada lands, they are allowed to speak for themselves. Apparently they are satisfied, for we learn of cases where on a $4,000 investment, in one year they have had their money back, with a profit of from 507c to 100%. Such is one of the steps in progressive* ness now being demonstrated- in the effort to create greater efficiency. The Canadian Government is using every effort to bring these conditions, to the attention of the agricultural world, in order to secure the necessary increased grain production so greatly needed. The farmer in Western Canada is exempt from all personal taxes.

CAROL GOES TO THE ASSISTANCE OF LARK WHEN DEEP EMBARRASSMENT THREATENS AND A NEARPAINFUL INCIDENT BECOMES A COMEDY Synopsis.—The story opens in the house of Rev. Mr. Starr, where Prudence, his eldest daughter and feminine head of the house, consisting of her father, herself, her sisters, Fairy, the twins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are awaiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. Liveliness of the smaller members uf the family results disastrously for their appearance. Carol and Lark investigate Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches measles. Then Carol tries to convert the town roughneeks. > CHAPTER V. Substitution. The twins came in at dinner-time wrapped in unwonted silence. Lark's face was darkened by an anxious shadow, while Carol wore an expression of heroic determination. "What's u p ? " Connie asked, when the rest of the family dismissed the m a t t e r with amused glances. Lark sighed and looked at Carol, seeming to seek courage from the Spartan countenance. Carol squared her shoulders. "Wei!, go on," Connie urged. "Don't be silly. You know you're crazy to tell us about it, you only want to be coaxed." Lark sighed again, and gazed appealingly at her stout-hearted twin. Carol never could resist the appeal of those ipleading eyes. "Larkie promised to speak a piece at the Sunday-school concert two weeks from tomorrow," she vouchsafed, as unconcernedly as possible. "Mercy!" ejaculated Connie, with an astonishment that was uut altogether complimentary. "Careful, Larkie," cautioned Fairy. "You'll disgrace the parsonage if you don't watch out." "Nonsense," declared their father, "Lark can speak as well as anybody if she Just keeps n trood grip on herself and doesn't get stage fright." AMU* Grace smiled gently. Connie frowned. "It's a risky business," she said. "Lark can't speak any more than a rabbit, and—" l i know it," was the humble admission. "Don't be a goose, Con " interrupted Carol. "Of course Lark can speak a piece. She must leant it. learn it, learri it, so she can r a t t l e it off backwards with her eyes shut, That's the whale oecret. Of course she can speak." > "How did it happen?" inquired Fairy. **I don't know," Lark said sorrowfully. "Nothing was ever "further from my thoughts, I assure you. The first thing I knew, Mrs. Curt IKS was thanking me for my promise, and O.rol was marching me off like grim death." Carol smiled, relieved now that the family commentary was over. "It was very natural. Mrs. Curtiss begged her to do it, and Lark refused. That always happens, every time the Sunday school gives an entertainment. But Mrs. Curtiss went on to say how badly the Sunday school needs the money, and how big a drawing card it would be for both of us twins to be on the program, one right after the other, and how well it would look for the parsonage, and It never occurred to me to warn Lark, for I never dreamed of her doing it." "I thought It wouldn't hurt me to try it once," Lark volunteered in her own defense. . A u n t Grace nodded, with a smile of i n t e r e s t e d approval. ' T m proud of you, Lark, quite proud * f you," her father said warmly. "It's a big thing for you to m a k e such a plunge*—just fine." ' T m proud of you now, too," Connie said darkly. "The question is, will we b e proud of you after the concert?" L a r k sighed dolorously. "Oh, pooh 1" encouraged Carol. "Anyspeak a silly little old piece And it will look so nice to n a m e s right together on the It'll b r i n g out all t h e high :s, sure " •Tea, theyTJ come to h e a r Lark, all right** F a i r y smiled.

And it will give Carol I t / c h a n c e t o show her d e r e r n e s s by jjisTIm htr how to do i t " « 8 0 MM moon a s supper was over, Carol decidedly, "Now, Connie, youll to help me with the dishes the sttst two weekly for Lark's got to practice on that piece. Lark, you must read It over, very thoughtfully first to get fhe meaning. Theer Juat read It rod ar»d it.and read It, a doses times* v hundred over. And pretty soon you'll know it." "I'll bet I don't," w a s the discouraging retort, as Lark, with pronounced distaste, took the slip of paper and sat down in the corner to read the "blooming thing," as she muttered crossly to herself. Connie and Carol did up the dishes in dreadful silence, and then Carol returned to the charge. "How many times did you read i t ? " "Fourteen and a half," was the patient answer. "It's a silly thing, Carol. There's no sense to it. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea.' " - "Oh. that's not so bad," Carpi said helpfully. "I've had pieces with worse lines than that. 'The imprint of a dainty foot,' for instance. When you say, 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea,' you must kind of let your voice glide along, very rhythmically, very—" "Windily," suggested Connie, who remained to witness the exhibition. "You keep still. Constance Starr, or j you con get out of here ! It's no laughing matter I can teir you. and you have to keep out or I won't help and then—" I "I'll keep still. Rut it ought 1o be windily, you know, since it's the wind. j I meant it for a joko," she informed them. The twins had a very disheartening way of failing to recognize Connie's jokes—it took the life out of r them. 1 "Now read it aloud, .Lark, so I can see if you get the propel' expression," 'Carol continued, when Connie was utterly subdued. Lark obediently but unhappily read the quaint poem aloud and Carol srid it was very good. "You must read it aloud often, very oft^n. That'll give you a better idea of the accent. Now 1 put it away, and don't look at it again tonight. If you keep it up too long ! you'll get so dead sick 6f it you can't j speak it at all." ,-ji .. • -, j Ry the evening of the Sunday-school concert—they were concerting for the sake of a hundred-dollar subscription to church repairs—Lnrfc' had mastered her recitation so perfectly t h a t the minds of the parsonage were nearly at pence. She still felt a deep resentment toward the situation, b u t this was partially counter-balanced by the satisfaction of seeing hM* n a m e in print, directly beneath Carol's on the program. 1 Recitation Miss Carol Starr. Recitation Miss Lark Starr. It looked very well indeed, and the whole family took a proper interest in it. No one gave Carol's recitation a second thought. She a l w a y s recited, and did it easily and well. It was quite a commonplace occurrence for her. On the night of t h e concert she superintended Lark's dressing with maternal care. "You look all right," she said, "just fine. N<rw don't get scared, Lark. It's so silly. Remember that you know all those people by heart, you can talk a blue s t r e a k to any of them. There's no u s e — " "But I can't talk a blue streak to the whole houseful at once," L a r k protested. "It mnkes me have such a— hollow feeling—to see so many white faces gazing up, and it's hot, and—" "Stop that," came the stern command. "You don't w a n t to get cold feet before you start. If yon do ace!-, dentally forget once or twice, don't worsy. I know the piece as well as you do. nnd I can p r o m p t you from behind without nnyone noticing it. But you won't forget." She kissed her. "You'll do fine, Larkie, just a s fine ns you look, and it couldn't be b e t t e r than that." J u s t then Connie r a n in. "Fairy w a n t s to know If you a r e getting stage fright. L a r k ? My, you do look n i c e ! Now, for goodness' sake, L a r k , remember the parsonage, a n d don't m a k e a fixtle of it." "Who says fizzle?" demanded their father from the doorway. "Never say die, my girl. Why, Lark, I never saw yon look so sweet Ton have your hair fixed a new way. haven't your** "Carol did it" waa the shy reply. "It does look nice, doesnt It? rm not not s hit—yet t there's u hollow feeling— Have the boys come?" "No, but they'll be here in a minute. J i m ' s late. I do get sore at Jim—I'd forty times rather go with hhn than Hartley—but he always puts off asking us until the last minute and then I have a date und you get him. I believe he does it on purpose. Come on down." And Grace looked at the pale sweet face with gratified delight, and kissed her warmly. Her father walked around her, nodding approval. "Aunt Grace," lie said solemnly, "it's a wretched business, having a parsonage full of daughters. Just as soon as they reach the age of beauty, grace and charm, they turn their backs on their fathers and smile on fairer lads." "You've got me, father," said Connie consolingly. "And me—when Babbie's in Chicago," added Fairy. "Yes, that's some help. Connie, be an old maid. Do ! I implore you." "Oh, Connie's got a beau already," said Carol. "It's the fat Allen boy. They don't have dates yet, but they've got an awful case on. He's going to m a k e their living by traveling with a show. YTou'll have to put up with auntie —she's beyond the beaulng s t a g e ! " " S u i t s me," he said contentedly, "I am getting more than my deserts. Come on. Grace, we'll start." "So wdll we, Connie," said Fairy. B u t the boys came, both together, and t h e family group set out together. Carol and Hartley—one of her highschool admirers—led off by running a race down the parsonage walk. And Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up t h e r e a r with Jim Forrest. Jim was a favorite attendant of the twins. He had been graduated from high school the yenr previous, and was finishing off at the agricultural college in Ames. But Ames was not far from home, and he w a s still frequently on hand to squire the twins when squires were in demand. For this broad-minded devotion the twins gave him a deep-seated grntitude and niVectlon and he always stood high in their favor. "Are you scared. L a r k ? " he asked her as they walked slowly down the street toward the church. "I'm not scared, Jim," she answered solemnly, "but I'm perfectly cavernous, if you know what that means." "I s u r e do know," he said fervently, "didn't I have to do a speech at the commencement exercises? There never w a s a completer cavern than I wa* t h a t night. But I can't figure out why folks agree to do such things when Ihey don't have to. I had to. It was compulsory." Larlc gazed at him with limpid troubled eyes. "I can't figure out, either. I don't know why I. did. It was a mistake, some way," At t h e church, which was gratifyingly crowded with Sunday school enthusiasts, the twins forsook their friends nnd slipped along the side aisle to the "dressing room"—commonly utilized as t h e storeroom for worn-out song books, Bibles and lesson sheets. There they s a t in throbbing, quivering silence with t h e rest of the "entertainers." until t h e first strains of the piano solo broke forth, when they walked sedately out and took their seats along the side of the platform—an antediluvian custom which has long been discarded by everything but Sunday schools and g r a d u a t i n g classes. T h e program w e n t along smoothly, with no more stumbles than is customa r y a t such affairs, and nicely punctuated with hnnd clappings. When the superintendent read. "Recitation—Miss Carol Starr," the applause was enthusiastic, for Carol was a prime favorite In church nnd school and town. With sweet and charming nonchalance she tripped to the front of the platform and gave a graceful inclination of her proud young head in response to the applause. Then her voice r a n g out, and t h e room was hushed. Nobody ever worried when Carol spoke a piece. T h i n g s always went all r i g h t And back to her place she walked, her face flushed, her h e a r t swelling high with the gratification of a good deed well done. "Carol," Lark whispered. " I — r m s c a r e d . " * Instantly the trlnmph left Carol's h e a r t . "You're not," she whispered passionately, gripping h e r twin's hand closely, "you are not, you're all r i g h t " L a r k trembled more violently. H e r head swayed a Uttle. Bright flashes of light were blinding her eyes, and her ears were ringing. "I—can't," she muttered thickly. *Tm sick." Carol leaned dose to her and began s violent train of conversation, for the pnrpose of distracting her sites*hi ''Keritaiion Mis.s Lark Starr." Again the applause rang ^ut. Lark did not muve. "1 can't," she whispered again. "I can't." "Lark, Lark," begged Carol desperately. "You must go, you must. 'The wind went drifting o'er the lea,'—it'a easy enough. Go on, Lark. You must." Lark shook her head. "Mmmmm," she murmured Indistinctly. "Remember the parsonage," begged Carol. "Think of Prudence. Think of papa. Look, there he is, right down there. He's expecting you, Lark. You must !" Lark tried to rise. She could not. She could not see her father's clear encouraging face for those queer flashes of light. "You can," whispered Carol. "You can do anything, if you try. Prudence says so." People were craning their necks, and peering curiously up to the second row where the twins sat side by side. The other performers nudged one another, smiling significantly. "I can't." Lark whispered. "I'm sick." "Lark—Lark," called the superintendent. Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it was up to her. With a grim face, sh.' rose from her chair and started out ot the platform. The superintendent stared at her, his lips parting. Th». people stared at her too, and smiled and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her eyes sought her father's face. He nodded quickly, and his eyes approved. "Good!" His lips formed the word, and Carol did not falter again. The applause was nearly drowned with laughter as Carol advanced for her second recitation. "The wind went drifting o'er the 'ea," she began—her voice drifting properly on the words—and so on to the end of 1 be piece. Most of the ardience, knowing Lark's tempi;' en;, had concluded that fear prevented her appearance, and understood that Carol had crane to her twin'-; rescue for the reputation of the parsonage. The applause wa.s deafening as >he went back'. It grow louder ;is she sat down with a comforting little grin at Lark. Then aa the Happing continued, something of her natural impishness entered her heart. • "Lark," she whispered, "go out and make a bow." "Mercy !" gasped Lark. "I didn't do anything." "It was supposed to be you—go on. Lnrkl H u r r y ! You've got to! Think what a Joke It will lie." Lark hesitated, but Carol's domlnanee was compelling. "Do as I tell you," came the peremptory order, and Lark arose from her chair, stepped out before the as- 'tonished audience and made a slow 'and graceful bow. This time the a p p l a u s e ' r a n riot, for people of less experience than those of Mount Mark could tell th:tf the twins were playing game. As it continued, Carol caught Larkln's hand in h e r s , and together they stepped out once more, laughing and bowing right and left. Lark was the last one in that night, for she and Jim celebrated her defeat with two ice cream sodas apiece at the corner drug store. "I disgraced the parsonage," she said meekly, as she stepped into, the family circle, waiting to receive her. "Indeed you didn't," said Fairy. "It was too bad, but Carol passed it off nicely, nnd then, turning it into a joke that way took all the embarrassment out of it. It WHS perfectly all right, and we weren't a hit ashamed." "And you did look awfully sweet when you made your bow," Connie said warmly—for when a member of the family was down, no one ventured a laugh, laugh-loving though they were. Curious to say, the odd little freak of substitution only endeared the twins to t h e people of Mount Mark the more. "By ginger, you can't beat them bloomln' twins," said Harvey Reel, chuckling admiringly. And no one disagreed.

The remainder of Premier Bonar Law's speech was clearly addressed to both Prance and the United States; to France, a plan for moderation in dealing with Germany on the ground that that country is already on the verge of collapse; to America, a call for help and co-operation in settling the different problems of reparations and Uter-allied debts. STRANGE ADVANCE OF STERLING Experts Agree Increase Will Help England to Pay U. S. London—The financial world here is still mystified by the strange advance of the pound sterling. Experts agree that whether It is due to a surfeiting of New York with gold or a reduction of business due to the new high tariff wall, the lessening of the premium on the dollar means a big saving in the settlement of the war debt, which the United States expects British to pay ln full. The Evening Standard scoffs at the suggestion that the British government is behind the advance, declaring it had been buying dollars steadly, apparently in connection with arrangements for settling the debt to America.

Lansing;.—Attorney-General Merlin Wiley's Investigation into the stock brokerage business which ran into a snag when the other two members of the securities commission refused to sanction citations for four Detroit brokers, was to have been the first of regular annual or semi-annual investigations of these houses, according to a statement made by Mr. Wiley. At the office of the securities com* mission, it was announced that the plan to have the executive office take preliminary testimony before further steps were taken toward bringing the four brokers before the commission, would be carried out. H. N. Duff, executive officer of the securities department, will serve copies of the charges made against the four brokerage heuses upon each firm to give them an opportunity to answer. While the four firms against whom charges were made by the attorneygeneral are uhe four against w&om the Detroit Stock exchange took action, the members of the securities commission point out that W. A. Muir, special investigator for the attorneygeneral, made similar charges against a total of 11 companies, out of 42, whose records were scrutinised. In discussing the investigation, Mr. Wiley said: "It was not my idea to make any sporadic war on the brokerage firms of the state when I employed W. A. Muir as special investigator to go over ttoe books and records of Michigan brokerage firms. "The understanding was that it would be good public policy to have general investigation of the brokerage firms once or twice a year by the commission. Just as the state examines all state and private banks from time to time. "This hapened to be the first investigation, and waa instituted at once, back ln February, because of complaints of Incidents which had come to the attention of the commission.''

Hubbard, former credit manager of the Standard Oil company, charged with murdering his daughter, Margaret, in their home Dec, 9, and then attempting his own suicide with the same razor, make away with his daughter, the only child and beloved "pal" of her daddy, because she knew and was growing up and might tell a secret he had kept in his mind and which he thught would some time come out? Like a- bombshejl, this theory was advanced by the authorities. They believe the motive may be found ln the mysterious death of Matthew Schafer, father of Mrs. Hubbard, in their home here at 706 Hoyt avenue, August 31, 1919. A thorough investigation will be made by the officials. **y> . ' • • V - •* *• -• i .

NOXIOUS WEED SEEDS IN THRASHED WHEAT e- One Bushel of Dockage to Every 22 Bushels of Grain. *JS Foreign Material Commonly Found In Government Investigations Conslsted of Wild Oats, Buckwheat, Mustard, Etc. {Prepared by the United Stalea Department o{ Agriculture.) Thrashed spring wheat usually contains much foreign material, consisting almost entirely of noxious weed seeds. Investigations conducted by R. H. Block and C. it. Haller of the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, show that in the 102O-21 crop there was approximately one bushel of foreign material, or "dockage," in every 22 bushels of spring wheat thrashed. Tnis represents over 9,500,000 bushels of dockage for the spring wheat crop. More than 200 kinds of weed seeds are found In spring wheat,* but less than 20 of these appear commonly. The foreign seeds most commonly found in the department's investigations, named In the order of their frequency, were wild oats, wild buckwheat, cultivated oats, mustard. lamb's-quarter, barley, green foxtail, hare's-ear mustard, flax, rye, cow cockle, pigweed, yellow foxtail, sunflower, corn cockle, wild rose, kinghead, and wild pea (vetch). WUd oats appeared in over 99.0 per cent ot the lots of wheat examined. Grain Inspection statistics show that the percentage of dockage found In spring wheat is gradually Increasing. Several factors tend to Increase the foreign material in spring wheat, the more important of which are the sowing of wheat on land that Is already foul with weed seeds, and the use of seed wheat contaminated with weed seeds. Both of these practices are common in the main spring wheat ores. Foreign material in wheat is objectionable because it is an economic waste, says the department. The growing of weed seeds with the wheat reduces the yield of wheat and increases the cost of harvesting and thntihiilf Forojga material occupies va|]sjftia^*9a*er|B^ wagons and freight Jft eeesjftrf * • £ terminal elevators aa*t I t often has a bad effect -rf*-r "" "Is* Ihe mtlling and baking qualities of the wheat. That clean seed combined with good cultural methods will produce dean wheat is being demonstrated constantly on many farms, and that the marketing of only clean wheat is Ti profitable, there can be no doubt The farm Is the logical place to clean wheat, preferably a s part of the ^thrashing operation. When the cleanv | n g is done on the farm, the eleaned srbeat will bring a better price on the ' iparket, the freight on the dockage . will be saved, and the screenings will _ fee available for feed, and when finally ground can be substituted for the higher priced feeds, inch a s oats, corn, and commercial mill feeds. Two methods of cleaning wheat are common. Omrinethod uses sieves and ^ tit Marts for separating the foreign V;' fjayjjgrtal from the wheat, and the oththod separates the grain accordthe size and shape of the ker- Tbe former method is used in -purpose cleaning machines, tanning mills and receiving and the latter method is ta machines designed to make • p a d s ! separations, such as cockle cylinders, ring graders, and disk maft- RaHetin, 1287, Foreign Material m Spring Wheat ' Jost published b j the United States Department of Agricnftnrt, describes methods of rei MM Ini foreign materiel In spring sjfcsnf en the farm and at the country •levntsr.

While They Assist in Combatina Ab normal increase of Local Pests, Their Influence Is Not Al- . ways Strongly Felt. (Prepared by the United Statee Department ot Agriculture.) Toads have been reputed to aid lr curbing the numbers of Injurious insects and other similar pests. To ascertain the facts in the case the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has analyzed the contents of the stomachs of 502 common toads, and reports that while the findings regarding the choice of food are of Interest they thus far fall to demonstrate that toads are of great economic importance. Toads go constantly about their own work of gain ing a livelihood, and so undoubtedly nil their proper place in nature. They are never very numerous in one local ity, however, and as they cannot adopt the methods of birds and traverse wide stretches of land to aid in com. Dating abnormal local increases of crop and garden pests, their influence is not strongly felt The Investigation shows that a certain portion of th* toad's food is made up of Injurious Insects and other pests of growing plants, and that the toad performs some service In such places as greenhouses, pardens, fields of small grain and golf courses. Any harm that toad* do In the consumption of beneficial beetles and other insects useful to man Is of little economic Importance and does not warrant their indiscrirainat* destruction. CLOVER AND GRASS MIXTURE Alfalfa, Red and Alelke Clover, Timothy, Red Top and Fescues Are Recommended. There has been considerable breaking away from old notions in the matter of seeding for pastures and meadows, and in many instances with very conspicuous success. Clovers are subject to so many vicissitudes that good stands are no longer obtainable on many farms. On the other hand, just those conditions which may be adverse to clovers may be very favorable to certain kinds of grasses, and this has led to the sowing of mixtures of several clovers and grasses, in which grasses predominate. The common notion is that clover and timothy is the only useful mixture, but clover quickly disappears and timothy does not furnish much aftermath, and consequently does not supply pasturage for any great length of time. With a rich mixture of alfalfa, red and alsike clover, timothy, red top. orchard grass and some of the fescues, a lasting, nutritious growth is obtained and as the clovers disappear these finer grasses come in and a durable and palatable pasture is assured all through the season.

Waists are long and fitted, skirts are long and full. There Is a medieval look about women as a whole. And the beautyi of the thing Is the way In which they have stepped into the picture with ease and grace. as though each one had said: "i am dressed now as I should be dressed. I feel this part and I know that I look well." We are forced to forget, as we look at them, the way they protested af the thought of new styles, saying they never would give up short skirts and the easy, comfortable fashions to which they had become so accustomed. After their one long, concentrated protest they have yielded so sweetly that they never could bo suspected of having been temperamental. They have the look of having brought about this change themselves, of having organized to do it. Perhaps thnt Is so In truth, considering their desire to always look their best. Isn't it much more Interesting to be different In the end? That, at least, is the way women have argued since the beginning of time, and there seems no Immediate danger that they will go back on their traditions. Dress of Black Satin. At one restaurant the other evening there was a dress made of Mack satin. most lovely to behold. The waist was fitted into the figure In a charming manner, there was plenty of fullness at the sides of the skirt, and the front and sides were left plain. Di rectly in front, where the circular skirt joined the waist, there was a long medallion of brilliantly colored beads. That was all the trimming for the gown, but the sleeves were long and tight with flaring cuffs which extended in fanlike arrangement over the hands. These cuffs, to add another touch of brilliance, were Itned with a flaming red chiffon. That is an example of many of the newer dresses built for semi-dress wear anr1 designed. It would seem, to set off the charms of the American women to their final and most perfect fulfilment. Cuffs are distinguishing features of the newer frocks. They are just the little touch that brings the designs into a modern atmosphere and add to the general change that is evident throughout the array of dresses. Someone has asked what becomes of them under a coat. When it Is remembered that the sleeves of most ot tha coats are Quite a s flaring as the sleeves of the dresses, the problem has solved Itself. One girl had a black velvet dress trimmed with hands of gray moufflon fur. The cflffs were cones coming oown^over^her hsnds until, at times. DO hands y * r e visible. The cuffs -Showed IhitotfiXof silver cloth snd" edges of t h e soft, gray fur. When the dree* w i s tucked under the covering layer M o warm caracul wrap the fuzzy gray fur came Just enough below the edge of the black fur coat to look as though this softness of lining had been added to the sleeve of the coat. It was the prettiest sort of an effect Fur for Trimming. Gray for la Invaluable for trimming. On many of the aewer frocks It makes Its appearance la the smartest manchara of the cot was accentuated The coat of this street salt baa that long-walsted effect which seems to be inevitable, emphasized by u tight band of a belt edged at top and bottom with the fur. The tight collur hugs about the throat and the little bunds of fur are arranged In designs ut the side.- <if the skiit and also used for an edging along the uneven xkirt line. The Jittle hat Hint caps the climax la niude of the same fur. It is nothing but the tlghrest of little turbans wltn a wide band for a brim and a snug little round section fur a crown. Altogether this suit makes a becom ing winter garment, extremely dressy, designed for wear at afternoon receptions and other sorts of dnytime uffalrs where more thun the usual piuln suit Is needed. It takes the place of a dress arid constitutes a wrap at the same time, in this way compensating for Its ruther more lavish appearance. Draping Very Popular. The cout Is an example of many made along these lines and worn with more and more zeal as the days go by. Practical women who are always finding fault with the serviceability of their clothes, are murmuring that, per- [haps, these garments will nut be uny | too- warm, but the fact Is they are warm enough for the usual occasionwarmer than a coat suit. It was interesting to see just how smart the short coats looked. There could be no better choice for the woman to whv>m that sort of coat Is becoming. Short women, as» a rule, do not look so well In the short coat as the taller. more statuesque women, who have tht* lines to withstand that cutting off of the figure which the shorter Jacket naturally brings in Its wake. However, when the Jacket and skirt are of one and the same color, they can be more readily conformed to the tines of the shorter stature, even when the figure Is inclined to be plump. Draping, arid still more draping, Is the order of the day. Morning dresses are draped as well as the afternoon sort, and for evening there Is nothing but drapery. It Is Impressive to see how many ways there are of arranging the drapings for different types of women. And It is no less impressive to see how many women are adopting these clothes to their own particular styles, The draped gown Is one of the really beautiful evening frocks of the sea son.

The fire which was of unknown origin was discovered about 9 o'clock by Gbttlieb Sager. The fire had gained such a start that nothing could be done to check it or to save any of the contents of the barn. The loss included 35 feeding lambs 32 tons of hay, a quantity of baled straw, and about G50 pounds of corn stalks. All the farm implements in the barn were lost and a large number of tools, the total loss being about $6,000 dollars. It is believed to have been incendiary.

It was learned last week that the Hoover Steel Ball company was making p r e p a r a - tions to open the local plant here after the first of the year. The local branch of the ball plant has been closed since Decmber 22, 1920. Mr. Clayton who was local m a n a g e r has been held in the employ of the company and will have charge of the plant again upon opening. About three months ago the C. G. Spring company', theni operatin g in the J.ewis Spring and Axle building were forced to discontinue operations here because of shipping conditions and the high prtfe of steel and the lack of orders, Mr. Owen Doutt the local m a n a g e r at t h a t time expressed the hope that the company might at some time come back here and continue operations. If the a r r a n g e m e n t s can be made .ind a satisfactory agreement can be reached between Mr. Lewis and C. G. Spring Co., the plant will be opened shortly and production started. The Hall plant will try to open up about the first of the year and get into' production as soon as possible. They will make ball bearings of all kinds as before the time of closing. With these two industries started in Chelsea there is no reason for a standstill in business.

MISS LULU BETT IV f I I ) & & * • • K SYNOPSIS.—General the house of her sister I n s , wife of Herbert Deacon, in the small town of Warbleton. Lulu Belt leads a dull, cramped existence, with which she is constantly a t enmity, though apparently satisfied with her lot. Bobby L*rkin. recently graduated high-school youth, Is secretly enamored of Deacon's elder daughter, Diana. T^e family is excited over the. news of an approaching visit from Deacon's brother Kinian. whom he had not seen for many years. Unexpectedly. Ntnl&n arrives. Thus he becomes acquainted with L«ulu first and understands her position in the house. To Ltiilu, Niman is a much-traveled rran of the world, and even the slight Interest which he takes in her is appreciated, because it is something new in her life. At an outing which the family takes, Nip Ian and Lulu become confidential. H e expresses his disapproval of her treatment as a sort of dependent in the Deacon home. Diana and Bobby, in the course of "soft nothings." discuss the possibility of eloping and "surprising the whole school." Lulu has awakened to pleasant possibilities concerning Ntnian's Intentions toward herself. Nlnian takes the family for a "good time" In the adjacent city. At supper, after the theater, as part of a Joke Lulu repeats the words of the civil marriage ceremony, with "Nlnian. Herbert remembers that a civil wedding is binding in the state, and Inasmuch as he Is a magistrate. Nlnian and Lulu are legally married. They go honeymooning. V—Continued. Mrs. Rett sat on the porch restored and pleasant when the family returned. Di and Bobby had walked home with Jenny. "Look here." said Dwight Herbert "who is It sits home and has ice cream put in her lap like a queen?" "Vnnllly or chocolate?" Mrs. Bert demanded. "Chocolate, mamma!" Ina cried, with the hreexe in her voice. "Vanllly sets better," Mrs, Bett said. They sat with her on the porch wlille she ate. Ina rocked on a creaking board. Dwljiht swung a leg over the railing. Monona sat pulling her skirt over her feet, and humming all on one note. There was no moon, but the wimn dusk had a quality of transparency as If it were lit in all Its particles. The gate opened, and some one came op the walk. They looked, and It was Lulu. "Well, If It ain't Miss Lula Bett!" Dwight cried involuntarily, and Ina cried out something. "How did you know?" Lulu asked. "Know! Know what?" "That it ain't Lulu Deacon. Hello, mamma." She passed the others and kissed her mother. "Say," said Mrs. Bett placidly. "And I Just ate up the last spoonful o' cream." "Ain't Lula Deacon!" Ina's voice rose and swelled richly. "What you talking?" "Didn't he write to y o u r Lulu asked. "Not a word." Dwight answered this, "All we've had we had from you —the last from Savannah, Georgia." "Savannah, Georgia," said Lulu, and laughed. They could see that she was dressed well. In dark red cloth, with a little tilting hat and a drooping veil. She did not seem In any wise upset, nor, save for that.nervous laughter, did she show her excitement. "Well but he's here with you, isn't her" Dwight demanded. "Isn't he here? Where is he?" "Must be 'most to Oregon by this time," Lulu said. "Oregon!" "You see," said Lulu, "he had another wife." "Why, he had not!" exclaimed Dwight absurdly. "Yes. He hasn't seen her for fifteen years and he thinks she's dead. But he isn't sure." "Nonsense," said Dwight. "Why. of course she's dead if he thinks so." "I had to be sure." said Lulu. At first dumb before this, Ina now cried out: "Monona! Go upstairs to bed at once." "It's only quarter to," said Monona, with assurance. "Do as mamma tells you." "But—" "Monona P 8he went, ktsafog them all goodnight and taking her time about It. Everything was suspended while she kissed them and departed, ^ walking slowly backward. "Married r said Mrs. Bett with tardy apprehension. "LaMe, was your husband married r* "Yea."

First ***** to New Orleans and then out to California and up the coast." On this she paused and sighed. "Well, then at Savannah, Georgia, he said he thought I better know, first. So he told me," "Yes—well, what did he say?" Dwight demanded Irritably. "Cora Waters," said Lulu. "Cora Waters. She married him down in San Diego, eighteen years ago. She went to South America with him." "Well, he never let us know of It, if she did," said Dwight. "No. She married him just before he went. Then In Soath^America, after two years, she ran away again. That's ail he knows." "That's a pretty story," said Dwight contemptuously. "He says if she'd been alive, she'd been after him for a divorce. And she never has been, so he thinks she must be dead. The trouble Is," Lulu said again, "he wasn't sure. And I had to be sure." "Well, but mercy." said Ina, "couldn't he find out now?" "It might take a long time," said Lulu simply, "and I didn't want to stay and not know." "Well, then, why didn't he say so here?" Ina'8 Indignation mounted. "He would have. But you know how sudden everything was. He said he thought about telling us right there In the restaurant, but of course that'd been hard—wouldn't it? And then he felt so sure she was dead." "Why did he tell you at all, then?" demanded Ina, whose processes were simple. "Yes. Well! Why IndeedT Dwight Herbert brought out these words with a curious emphasis. "I thought that Just at first," Lulu said, "but only Just at first. Of course "Wslt, If It Ain't Mlsa Lulu Bett I" Dwight Cried, Involuntarily. that wouldn't have been right And then, you see, he gave me my choice." "Gave you your choice?" Dwight echoed. "Yes. About going on and taking the chances. He gave me my choice when he told me, there in Savannah, Georgia." "What made him conclude, by then, that you ought to be told?" Dwight asked. "Why, he'd got to thinking about it" she answered. A silence feltr—Lwu sat looking out toward the street. "The only thing," she said, "as long as it happened. I kind of wish he hadn't told me till we got oat to Oregon." "Lnlu!" said Ina. Ina began to cry. "You poor thing!" she said. Her tears were a signal to Mrs. Bett who had been striving to understand all. Now she too wept tossing up her hands and rocking her body. Her saucer and spoon clattered on her knee. "He felt bad, too," Lnln said. "He!" said Dwight "He * must have." "It's you," Ina sobbed. "It** you. My sister r "Weil" said Lulu, "but I never thought of tt making yon both feel bad. or I wouldn't have come borne. I knew," she added, "it'd make Dwight feel bad. I mean. It waa his brother—" "Thank goodness," Ina broke tn, "nobody need know about ft" Lnlu regarded her, without change. "Oh, yes." she said in her r*oe. "People will have to know."

They'll think yon couldn't get along. That's all." "I should hate that," said Lain, "Well. I should hate the other, let me tell you." "Dwight, Dwight," said Ina. "Let's go In the house, Tm afraid they'll hear—" As they rose, Mrs. Bett plucked at her returned.daughter's sleeve. "Lulie," she said, "was bis other wife—was she thereT' "No, no, mother. She wasn't there." Mrs. Betts' lips moved, repeating the words. "Then that ain't so bad," she said. "I was afraid maybe she turned you out" "No," Lulu said, "it wasn't that bad, mother." Mrs. Bett brightened. In little matters, she quarreled and resented, but the large Issues left her blank. Through some indeterminate sense of the importance due this crisis, the Deacons entered their parlor. Dwight lighted that high, central burner and faced about saying: "In fact, I simply will not have It Lulu! You expect I take It to make your home with us tn the future, on the old terms." "Well—" "I mean, did Nlnian give you any money?" "No. He didn't give me any m o n e y - only enough to get home on*. And I kept my suit—why!" she flung her head back, "I woulnt have taken any money!" "That means," said Dwight, "that you will have to continue to live here—on the old terms, and of course I'm quite willing that you should. Let me tell you, however, that this is on condition—on condition that this disgraceful business Is kept to ourselves." She made no attempt to combat him now. She looked back at him, quivering, and In a great surprise, but she said nothing. "Truly, Lulu," said Ina, "wouldn't that be best? They'll talk anyway. But this way theyll only talk about you, and the other way It'd be about all of us." Lulu said only: "But the other way would be the truth." Dwight's eyes narrowed: "My dear Lulu." he said, "are you sure of that?" "Sure?" "Yes. Did he give you any proofs?" "Proofs r "Letters1—documents of any sort? Any sort of assurance that. he was speaking the truth?" "Why, no." said Lulu. "Proofsno. He told me." "He told y o u r "Why that was hard enough to have to do. It was terrible for him to have to do. What proofs—" She stopped, pulled. "Didn't It occur to you," said Dwight "that he might have told you that because be din't want to have to go on with It?" As she met his look some power seemed to go from Lulu. She sat down, looked weakly at them, and within her dosed lips her Jaw was slightly fallen. She said nothing. And seeing on her skirt a spot of dost she began to rub at that "Why, Dwight r Ina cried, and moved to her sister's side. "I may as well tell you," he said, "that I myself have no idea that Nlnian told you the truth.

In short I haven't the least Ides he was ever married before," Lulu continued to rub at her skirt "I never thought of that" she said. "Look here," Dwight went on persuasively, "hadn't yon and he had some little tiff when he told you?" "No—no! Why, not once.

It needs neither a sharp eye nor a sharp oar to leara that the administration U concerned because of the dUB> culties which are besetting the agents of the law ia enforcing the statute* relating to the sale of intoxicating liquor*. From the White House have come words about it, and from the offices of the cabinet officers have come other words. It makes DO difference whether the President of the United States or the members of his cabinet think or do not think that! the laws should be moderated to the admission of light wines and beers as beverages.

It probably is true that nothing like so much liquor is being consumed in the United States today as \vu* the case six years ago, but it also doubtless Is true that the violations o f the law, occurring as they do in the great news centers of the country, are made known quickly t6 the people and, because of the density of the population in these centers, the accumulation of evidence of the law violations makes the lawlessness loom in the public eye. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon believes, it is said, that a great army of men committed to the work would be needed to obtain a proper enforcement, and that then it would be effective only with the co-operation of the great body of citizenship. It is held in the Treasury department that while the prohibition office is doing effective work so far as it can, it still would fall short of accomplishing an effective check to the making, sale and use of intoxicants if the force were four times as large as It is tpday. Law Must Be Enforced. There is no intention or thought on the part of any member of the administration to suggest .aat prohibition is not a good thing, or to suggest that it is a good thing. The entire thought on the subject is that the law 's on the statute books and while It is there it should be enforced, no matter how much money it costs to enforce It nor how great the difficulties which He In the way, There seems to be a feeling that if the people of the United States want to have light wines and beers, or desire that the amendment shall be repeuled, they can find eventually the means to accomplish their end. but again this is beside the present point, for the thing is simply that there is a law, and that the government officers are sworn to enforce it—and this with the present equipment of men and means it is dihVult to do. So the laws are on the statute books, and the President and other officials of government desire that they shall be enforced, but It is said'bluntly enough In nearly every nook and corner of officialdom here that real enforcement must depend upon the aid which citizens who are not officials of the government shall give to the cause. Haynes Not Dismayed. It Is said that Commissioner Haynes, who is the director of the enforcement of prohibition laws, is not at all discouraged because of the opposition offered to his work, and of the constant violations of the statutes. Some of the field directors of the work say that popular support for the prohibition amendment Is increasing; that home brewing is largely a thing of the past, and that moonshlning is dying out. It costs a lot of money to enforce the anti-liquor laws. The friends of prohibition say the amount saved to the people of the United States because liquor selling Is Illegal and supplies cannot readily be obtained, Is so great that the amount spent to enforce the taws dwindles into insignificance. The fact remains, however, ihat in many parts of the country the law is being violated flagrantly, and it will b f f i r ID advance of any legtsla- that nothing can pm a Stop to the IItion thus far adopted. M«y Win by Concessions. Croup Will Hold Balanos of Power In Next Congress, but Conservatives Hope to Win by Concessions in Farm Legislation. By EDWARD 8. CLARK Washington.—The conference of? senators and representatives of a certain political and economic habit of mind which was called by Senator Robert M. LaFoilette, has come to an end. The conservatives in the senate call this a conference of radicals, although they do not so call it out loud. The men who took part In the conference with their followers call it a convention of progressives. The country will know what to call this conference when the fruits of it have made themselves manifest. The Intention of the conference was to outline legislation which would be acceptable to the members of what more or less loosely have beeu called the congressional blocs. One end and aim of the meeting was to define measures which would materially aid the agricultural elements In the United States. Other aims of the conference were directed to the accomplishment of • legislation along many different lines. There were others than senators and representatives present at the meeting called together by Mr. LaFollette. There were some governors of states there, and there were some men who, not holding any office, are in general sympathy with the plans of the gathering. Senator LaFollette specifically has denied that he even so much as suggested that the idea of the meeting was to form a third party. May Result in Third Party. There are Republicans and Democrats In congress who say the fact that the conference was bipartisan In its component parts tends to show that the ultimate intention Is to found a third party. They point out that while some of the legislation whlcn Is proposed by the attendants at the conference i s of a kind which conservativeminded men In a general way can indorse, there also is some of it to which neither Republicans nor Democrats of the older schools of politics can give .adherence for a moment. Some of the .conservative ones of both parties believe that the inevitable outcome of the present groupings In the parties is a third political organization. The next congress possibly, even probably, may be called to meet In extra session next spring. It is virtually assured today that the senators and representatives who have Just been holding their conference under the leadership of Mr. LaFollette will hold the balance of power lb the next congress. Most of the men who attended the meeting are Republicans in politics, or at any rate they were elected to office on the Republican ticket. This means that if they join together to prevent the passage of legislation which the majority of the Republicans In the house or senate shall demand, they will be able with the assistance of the Democrats to prevent the passage of almost anything to which they object. The conservative and seml-conservatlve Republicans In house and senate have taken full note of the doings of the conference, and they also have studied well the future. Already the conservatives have considered ways and mean* of meeting the situation. The cfesses* seem to be that the conat this winter's session i a new body shall meet, legislation for the benefit of It seems to be the view of conservative Republicans that if great conceslegalltles In the case except a great Increase in the number of law enforcement officers.

In other words, the conservative-minded ones think that by yielding on certain matters they can hold the Republican majororlty safe for much legislation to which the administration is pledged and to which some of the conference members are opposed. The Republicans and Democrats in both house and senate have been looking over the Hats of the names of the men who attended the conference of December 1 and 2. It already Is said in Washington that the conservatives have a Hat of the names of conference attendants who they think will decline to "stay put" on all matters wnlch the conference considered, and who will content themselves with sustaining the conference plaaa for an additional strengthening of agricultural legislation. It seems to be true today that the sharpest political Interest In the conference Is to he found In the poseihll- Ity that a third party movement may come oat of It Senator Borah said not leaf ago that a third party duty In not helping the executive branch of the government to carry out the will of the people as expressed by their representatives In congress In this matter of prohibition; Cat Saves Young Master. Willie Boatright, aged nine, of Buckeye, fell asleep In his father's yard Sunday night with his faithful friend, a big bine tabby cat, also asleep by his side. The evening was warm, and nobody missed the child until a terrific struggle was heard in the edge of j h e lawn where the boy lay sleeping. The faithful cat hud slept lightly and the stealthy approach of a big Mack spreading adder In the grass had tot been without her seeing and giving battle to save her little roaster. Now the blue tabby is priceless, for Mr. and Mrs. Boatright believe that she saved the life of their little boy.— Arkansas Gazette, Wisdom -»f Jones.

Little cutting pieces of snow were being blown In whirls around corners and down the street. Huddled down In his coat stood a newsboy of some eight or nine years. His face was drawn with the cold and he beat his hands against his sides to keep them warm. Last-minute Christmas shoppers, hurrying along to get their various errands done, gave no thought to the little fellow who pestesed'"fhem with his papers. He ought to have known better when they had so many things to think about. "Yeh, all the news—the latest news. Won't cha buy one, mister? I only have a couple more." He looked up pleadingly Into the face of a passerby. "Sorry, sonny," smiled the man," "got one here now that I probably won't ever get a chance to read—so busy," and he hurried along his way. The rush of pedestrians subsided a moment. The boy singled out a young woman, as he said, "She looks kind. I'll try her." "Yeh—all the latest news—Just out —won't cha buy one, please, lady? I only have a few." She opened her purse and started to hunt for the money. "I've just got to sell these papers out early tonight, 'cause it's my last chance to buy that doll. You know, my little sister, they say, Isn't very well, and the only thing she says she wants is an orange for Christmas, but I know better." He paused for breath. "She wants a doll, but she thinks she can't ask for it 'cause we haven't money for dolls. I have, though." he said promptly. "I've been watching a doll In one of the windows here. I*m going by tonight and get it." "What Is your name, son?" "Jacques and my sister's—ma petite soeur—Marthe." "Zshack?—What a queer—" "No; It isn't," he said, anticipating what she was going to say. "My doubted If he would get all arounc this year." "Oh!" said Marthe in a disappointed tone. Jacques' mother was sewing busilj upon a garment she was intent upon finishing. Tomorrow was Christmas, and no sewing was going to be left over to bother her. Marthe's bedtime came, and Jacques fixed his presents In preparation foi the morrow. He had found a Christmas tree branch In the street, and this he made into a little tree under which he placed his gifts. Christmas morning dawned briglitly In the little French home. Jacques' surprise was complete, for Marthe went Into raptures over the tree and her presents. She alternately hugged and kissed her doll, keeping up a constant chatter to it In French. Th« orange and a few other presents that she had found under the tree she put on the shelf, so that she could admire them while she rocked her doll. Jacques had had his surprise, too— "Give and it shall be given unto you" —for his two packets under the tree had grown to be six or seven. "Mother," he said, "I think I will have to try my new mittens and see 8hs Opened Her Purse. toother is French. Those names are beautiful—to us," he added after a panse. "Where do you live, Jacques?" "Sixty-nine Kensington Square. Top floor, back two rooms, I've got that down pat now, haven't I?" "Yes, you won't get lost right soon," she replied as she put her arm around him, and gave him a gentle tap on the shoulder. "Merry Christmas, Jacques," and she was on her way. She stopped a little way down the street, however, wrote something down, then hurried on. Another half hour found Jacques bugging an orange and a little doll under his coat as he trudged along home. When be opened the door a little voice started chanting. "Frere Jacques, Frera Jaeqtfes—you're late tonight." 'Tea, Martha Today I was talktog to Santa on the corner, and he said he was awfully busy. B e Hit Mother Was Just as Excited as He. exactly how warm they are." So say ing, he slipped Into his coat and pushed on the door. What ailed it' Was It frozen shut, stuck, or whut was the mntter? With his mother's help the door was opened. To their surprise they found that a huge pile of packages had been the cause of their trouble. Jacques gave a cry of delight as he pounced upon the bundles. His mother was Just as excited as he, as she helped carry in the stuff. Then followed one of the happiest hours the family had ever k n o w n - whole two-dozen oranges and all sorts of wholesome food. Jacques' mother fairly wept with Joy. Santa remembered us after all, mother," said little Jacques, "and he left this note on one of my presents. Look, mother. It says :— " 'I hope you will always be as thoughtful of your sister, Jacques.

In one state the observation of Christmas was utterly denounced as an evil, ungodly and pernicious custom, and any child daring to think of as much as a plum pudding on that day would make himself liable to reproof by th* authorities. All along the stem and rock-bound coast, Geraldlne Ames writes In the Churchman, the only Christmas trees in the days of the Puritan dominatioc were those that nature bad planted there and bad adorned with fleecy •mow. The fires burned brightly on the open hearths, but as far as ths children knew, Christmas was Just like any other day tn the calendar.

Hut those for daytime are the engrossing subject now when the nearlng winter makes a choice Imperative. The exhaustless variety in coats Is distracting, but since there is so ranch latitude in the matter of clothes for street wear, <><ie may choose the most becoming model at hand and go on her way rejoicing., The great Paris designers have fairly oatdone themselves in the originality and class of their coat offerings, but with all the diversity of style, they are of one mind as to the use of fur. It is universal on coats and wraps of every sort—or tf, by any chance, It Is left off, embroideries or fabric thnt )00k Hko fur take Its place. Perhaps ttus la because the touch of for is Incomparably rich and gracious and the turjess garment, however liandsome, can hardly hope to rival the furtrimmed wrap. It appears on utility coats of the most practical sort, like that pictured at the right of the two shown here, and on practically all of the dressier models. Gne. of these appears at the left of the two figures and reveals a coat In which a contrasting color is introduced, enriched with an embroidery of large beads. Tlie collar is a noteworthy new model and may be brdught up about the face and fastened so that only the nose and eyes are discerned behind It.

E. P. Bennett of the M. E. church officiating, burial In Lakeview cemetery. Mrs. Childers was in<$eed ,a remarkable woman, possessed of a striking personality, an indomitable will and of a physical nature that could and did endure Any amount of hard wosk. Not onjy was Mrs. Childers a hard ^worker hut she was a wiijing worker and cheerful and never complained of her hard lot. She was welcome > in any hfijue in Howell, to clean house or take cape ;b£ the children wfcHe -the parents -t extended ~" the" "" entertainment. Trustworthy and competent parents never hesitated to leave the children with her and then the children always liked Mis. Childers and would stay in her care. Bom in slavery in Tennesse August 21, 1824, at the age of eight years her mother and little brother were sold on the auction slave block to New Orleans slave traders and then she was put an tlie block and as chance or the will of the immortal Gods would have it she fell into the hands of a merciful master, one John Clark in Kentucky. About the only remembrance Mrs. Childers had of her mothe> was when the Ruction was over her mother kissed her good bye and said, "Be a good girl Eliza." She grew to womanhood the only slave in the Clark family and was known as Kliza Clark. Even after the war was over and one day Mr. Clark said to her "Eliza, you are no longer a slave and can go where you please," she remained in the family as a trusted house servant a year or more. About twenty years ago Mrs. Childers visited the Clark family and the Clark daughters have written to her from time to time since that visit. While with the Clarks Mrs. Childers was married to David Anderson, a slave on an adjoining plantation, but as Mr. Clark did not believe in slavery he would not sell her children, bat her husband did not fare so well, being sold to the slave traders. Later she was married to William Smith a slave on an adjoining farm, who later died before being sold. After her marriage to Alex- Childers while yet in Kentucky, the family moved to Howell in the year 1872. Five years later Mr. Childers died leaving Mrs. Childers to support a large family as best she could. Here again Mrs. Childers was equal to the occasion. A house on West Street had already been purchased and less than a hundred dollars had been paid on it. She went to work with a will and besides supporting a large family paid for the home and one of her last requests was that the home be kept in the family as long as possible. She was determined too that her children should have an education and three of them did graduate from the Howell high school ranking among the first in scholarship.—-Livingston Republican. •-*» _'.fc: _ V . ; •J*™ Backache Foley gjPNBYJWlJL8j^ pUadtaese ydsoaea tdo b dlaidsdoerrd-eTrheed* reUavo first. ttx ally brine back 1 FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS The final days finds this store's Christmas stocks complete.
