The Education Panncen.

that he Is quick and wants to learn.
This argument seems little twist
ed If i man is treacherous and
tricky, he Is certainly less dangerous

of the ages to help him run his CON

money is needed. None of these men
viii spend Christmas at home, and
great many of them have no homes.
In other cases their families arc too
poor To do much in the way of gifts
There is no man in the world who ap-
preciates Christmas jollity more than
does the sailor, in whatever branch
of navigation he may be engaged. The
Sunshine Society's idea is a good one,
and those who have any cash to spare,
and any patriotism at a time of year
when family affection is liable to
swallow up most other feelings, can
not do better than to show their pat
riotism by sending their cash IL that
direction
The Christmas box is one of the
most satisfactory sorts of Christmas
giving known. There is something
about it which goes straight TO the
heart of-the recipient Things seem
d little finer, taken out of such a box,
than they would if handed down from
a Christmas tree, or at any rate the
person who unpaCks it IS likely to
think So Perhaps this is because the
people who receive Christmas boxes
are apt to be IN a somewhat lonely,
and consequently aPpreciative, state
of mind.

have favored the adoption of plan con-

Ecuador and Colombia opposed the idea
because of its retroactive effect. although
they were willing to discuss a plan for
arbitration of disputes that might arise in
the future
The subject was finally referred TO
Washington, where, as a compromise it
was suggested that the arbitration plan
adopted by The Hague Peace Congress be
accepted by the Pan-American This was
not satisfactory and the Argentine dele
