The twelfth tnnual issue of the Columbia
Pad Calendar has made its appearance in
more pleasing form than ever before, having
scattered through its daily leaves many
charming illustrations, with an appropriate
thought or verse for each day in the year.
Among the topics are bicycling, outdoor life
and good roads. The cycling fraternity, to
say nothing OF the general public. has acquired
n decidedly friendly feeling for the Columbia
calendar, and its annual advent Is always
looked forward to with interest and plea

helpful and convenient 90 busy men, and
plenty of spacs is allowed for memoranda, so
that the block may be used as n diary, or in
any event will become a storehouse OF the
many littls things one desires to be reminded
Of day by day. The twelfth edition is bright
with contributions from friends an riders of
the Columbia bicycle, for such n host of
friends has the calendar acquired that it has
become n Gus tomary practice for wheelmen all
over the country TO jot down their best
thoughts and Inspirations after the exhilarat-
ing influence OF n Columbia ride and send.
them in to brighten the calendars pages. In
addition, the moons phases are Indicated for
the benefit OF those who wish to know the

that the block can either be used upon the
desk or hung upon the wall.

special solemity about that night.
Above, tho heavens wero resplendent
with the glory OF Cod, and even the eic-
ments seemed TO ep-reciate the benedic-

The noiso and tumult OF the over-crowded
streets in The distant city AT last were
silled, nd one by one the lights below
them disappeared.
''Il the realms of other world those
who had long locked for the promised re-
demption gszs down upon the scene.
Prophet and law-givcr, king and leader
all lock toward The One who shsli make
the ntonement, for their transgrsssions.
And as the shepherds watched ana waited
for the morn / imagine that their
thoughts ond conversation were on
heavenly things. II may have been that
hey were talking over the stra nge runors
wbich they had heard regarding tho son
that was born TO Zacharias, ana how il
had been pro phesisd that he was TO be-
come tho Prophet Of he Highest AT

that night must have been on things
above. for God reveals His best gifts to
those 'whoae minds are stayed on Him.
The time Is at hand, / can imagips one

OF Heaven chants again the Gospel mes

Or. s. Weir Mitchell. the author OF
"Hugh Wynue, Free Quaker" the novel
of the American Rovolution now just De-
ginning In he Century, is well known
pbysicien OF Philadelpnia who is becom-
ing as famous in literature as he has Eeen
fer mary years In his own profession.
lie was born in Philadelphia in 1929. and
he has practicea in that city for many
years, making a specially of nervous
diseases. He is perhaps tRe highest
authority i'm the country on diseases OF
the nervous system. DIR. Mitchell is q
graduate OF Harvard and has received the
honorary deeIee OF Ii. -. from Edin-
burgh and from Princeton universities,
the latter having been conferred at the
recent Princeton celebration.
One OF Dr. ,Mitcheil's earliest novels,
SIN War Time" was published seriaily
in The Atlantic Monthly. His "Char-
acteristics'' appeared in Tho Century
Magazine. In addition he has written the
novels "when all the Woods are Green"
"Rolsnd Blake,' and "Fair ia the
Forest" Ills poems ere many, snd q col
lective edition of them has recently been
issued.
The Century Co. had accepted DR..
MitchelPs new novel, "Hugh Wynne
Free Quaker" for hook publication, and
liz was to be issued this autumn. A
large edition had been printed and sd-
vance orders had been received from the
trade, when the strength of the story and
its probable drawing power as serial in
The Century decided the editors of that
magazine and the publishers to suppress
the book for a year and use the novel
read the story consider 1t not only DR..
Mitchell's masterpiece, but one OF the real
ly great American stories. The author be-
lieves that one may so saturate himself
with the ease initial particulars of any time
as TO be allie to live in 1t and tpsak of 1t
with the familiarity cfthe life of his own
day. DR.. Mitchell has made q careful
study of the customs. dress, sports OF
Revolutionary day and the manners OF the
interesting sociel groups which formed d
the society of Philadelphia from 1873 to
1888, and he has made studies of all the
historical persons who are brought into
the book. The character of Washington
Is said 10 be drawn in a singuiarly life
like way and the contrasting sides of mis-
character interestingly set forth. The
Historical Scciery OF Philadelphia has
given DIR. Mitchell access to the great coll
lections of family letters stored In it's
vaults, and the novel will be historical
ly accurate in every particular. While
the hero himself and those who take the
most prominent parts in the hook are on
tirely fictitious, the use Of real persons as
side characters makes It peculiarly zeal
isfic. .-f
