Redshirted. Red-haired Anarchists
Own to the infrequent feasts of the
Pie-biters' Amalgamated union. But
il isn't often that half billion of cap
ita1 is represented at any dinner. as
it was at the big banquet given at
the Arlington last Wednesday by the
New England Cotton Manufacturers
association. And the members didn't
look it. For some reason they SEEM

Southern railway gave them a special
train and an 1900 mile trip to study
cotton manufacture in the south.
We are getting ready-in a mild way
for another convention to be held
next month, that of the Women
Christian Temperance union. which
may not represent SO much capital as
the cotton men do, but does represent
more principle and interest. The local
organization is preparing a warm re-
ception. Incidentally it has passed a
resolution against one of our quad

he by no means disdained the hot stake

The Taft commission is having
trouble in finding Filipinos honest
enough to be judges and will probably
abandon the attempt. recommending
that Spanish speaking Americans be
given all such places. until the gentle
native bryanite is educated up to the
point of ordinary honor. The eight
native magistrates in Manila deposit
only about 800 month of the money
paid in as fines. although the collec-
tons are undoubtedly many thousands.
1t is said there are at least 80 well
established cases of prisoners being
released from custody somewhere be-

man took possession of a section of

property and proceeded TO erect mouse

driven him forth to try TO exercise
the demon that would not let him rest.
He had passed the church and, drawn
by an impulse he could neither define

strains of Gloria in Eycelsis' ring

stood on the steps of the cathedral and
looked casually down the street he
saw what made his heart stand still.
He caught at the air with lips that

books; we read some already. and

cried 10, Amy and Meg as they came
trooping into the room where their
mamma was that Christmas morning.
Merry Christmas, little daughters!
I'm glad you began at once, and hope
you will keep on. But l want to say a
word before we sit down. Not far away
from here lies poor woman, with
little newborn babe. Six children are
huddled into one bed to keep from
freezing, for they have no fire. There
is nothing to eat over there. The eld-
est boy came to tell me they were suf-
fering hunger and cold. My girls, will
you give them your breakfast as a
Christmas present"
They were all unusually hungry.

Beth, eagerly.

the articles she liked.
Meg was already covering the buck
wheats and piling the bread into one
big plate.
Il thought you would do it, said
Mrs. March, smiling as If satisfied.
"You shall all go and help me, and
when we come back we will have
bread and milk for breakfast, and
make it up at dinner time" ~
They were soon ready and the pro-
cession set out. Fortunately it was
early, and they went through back
streets, SO few people saw them, and
no one laughed at the queer party.
