to that Biblical emigrant ship which
cclonized III when the world was young.
From many aauaint, fiat-roofed dwell
ing arose Christmas carols to which
soft-yoiced echoes sang responsive
choruses among the cliffs. and at least
one church bell tried brayely, singiy
and alone, to supply an imitation Of
Christmas chimes. 1t was peaceful
picture, upon which the stars twinkled
approyingly, as they bespanpied the
slopes with frost diamonds and coated
countless sparkles from the pallid snow.
The Armenians are a deyout people. and
make much Of the Christmas festival.
This little hamlet was in many respects
not unlike Bethlehem, and near It were
many shepherds who guarded their
4iocks by night. as did those Of Judeai
when the angels sang Of peace ON Garth:

AT the home of Abanazar, the head
man of the village, there were quiet
festivities. DECORATIONS Of holly and
other eyerereens, songs Of praise and
stories which for generations had hand
ed down cherished traditions and,
legends of Armenia. There were the
aged grandfather and grandmother,
Abanazer and his good wife, three little
girls ranging from six to twelve years
old, and Zillah, the 16-year-old daugh-
ter, with her affianced lover Akthar,
the ,stalwart young herdsman. She
was beautiful maiden. with regular
features, large eyes aglow with love,

Corn Crop Expectations.

1t is interesting to remark when re-
ferring to the corn movement on the
Burlington & Quincy that last year. it
was coDtended by government officials
that the probabilities os chances favored:
an immense corn yield. This year ac-
corning to the same authorities, a
boubtiful yield may be expected. The
idea is based on a study of meteOrolOgl-
cal conditions IN the corn belt, and the
records Of the signal service corps ap-
pear to prove its worth. All records as
to rainfall and it's distribution over the
growing season show distinctly marked
cycles of favorable and unfayo.abie
weather. PropItlous seasons have been
followed by years just as favorable while
poor years have been followed by leaner
ones. These cycles cover periods OF
from three TO five years. Last year
equal distribution of rain throughout
the growing season was que. 1t came
and large corn yield resulted. Two or
three more fat years are to be- expected
even il the corn movement on the Bur
lington and Quincy, the largest of the
corn carriers, does not come up to ex-
pectatlons, it will make traffic double
, heavy next fall when both last years
and this years crops must be moved
The record of the corn accounts for
Burllngton's strides of twenty or thirty
points up or down.
We are indebted for the foregoing to
the kindness of Mr.. A. II. Bailey. 1t will

Worse Than Murder.

The tragic death of Miss Cady Elliott.
OF Charlton county, this state, should
prove a terrisle warming To scandal
moDgers and assassins OF human cbarac-
ter generally. She had abundant means
with which to enjoy life, but IN an evil
hour the scandal peddiers seized upon
her character and circulated the most
heartless lies. For two years the poor
girl stunned society, and at last, unable
to bear the burden any longer, she took
a dose OF morphine and ended her mis-
cry. la pathetic letter to a friend
she set forth her reasons for committing
suicide, and, among other things, said:
"The friends that had have deserted
me on account Of other peoples lies.
Nav OFT Father in heaven forgive those
who have told the miserable, disgraceful
lies and caused me to commit this rash
act, for / cannot forgive them. | kindly
ask them not to lie on me after L am
gone. Let NE rest Ia peace ia my grave.
| truly hope that people Will have re-
spect enough for me not to lie on me al
ter am gone, and that this will teach
them lesson. Those that | have be-
frieDded the most have told the bitter
est lies on me. | am we'll off financially
and will leave plenty for the support of
nv mother. But what is money! Moth
ing"
Here is a sample If the inability OF hu
man agencies to punish great wrong.
The man who would have sent ball
through TINS young woman's heart. and
ended her pure life at once, would have
ended his career at the end of the hang
mans rope or probably be iynched, but
human buzzards swarmed over her head
for two years, and God only knows the
cruel torcures they inflicted. At last
the poor girl found the burden greater
than she could bear. and her real mur
derers are no doubt sanctImonlousiy
hunting for some other victim. They
will never be punished by law, but so
ce rtain as there IS a gust God they will
not escape terrible vengeance. 1t Is
idle To say that the vultures who prey
upon human character ever repent of
their wicxedness. The leopard cannot
change his spots. aud neither can the
hyena. whose greatest enjoyment is in
traducing character, ever feel any symp
toms of remorse. No one ever heard of
a professional scandal-monger trying 10
honestly repair wrong. IL Is their
business to infiict suffering by circuiat
ing cruel stories and "ause tears IN place
OF smies. They take fiendish delight
in widely circulating reports that Will
cause some one great anguish, little
knowing that self respecting men and
women consider them the lowest types
of humanity.

Tie proposition to bond the city IN

putting 10 system of water works,
upon which the voters expressed them
selves at the polls last Tuesday, was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote.
When the clerks were through counting
the ballots the result announced was
2ll for the proposition and three against
it. it was known during the day that
there was practically no opposition to
the measure, still the exceedingly small
number of voters against IT was some
thing Of a surprise to Its most ardent

| Nearly the'antire voting population ol
the city turned oat. there being but
twenty five or thirty who did not vote
and some of these We're not physically
