cident in the peace history Of America
when on Christmas day was formed
the Methodist Episcopal church in the
United States. Previous to that time
the church had been represented by
ministers of the Gospel scattered
throughout the different colonies, but
they had no central organiza ton. 1t
was this organization, an organization
that has since carried the message of
'peace and good will' to nearly all the
nations of the world, which was per-
fected December 25, 1914. 1t wasan APP
propriate day for such an event, and it
was an appropriate event for the day.
AS the surrender by Washington of
his commission was practically the last
incident of the revolutionary war, so
did the signing of the peace treaty at
Client, Belgium, mark the close of our
second war with England. The second,
like the first, came at an appropriate
time, December "a, 1914. Thus two of
our great wars closed just as the
Christmas bells were proclaiming to
the world.
Practically the final act of our great
civil war was the announcement of am
nesty to all those who had waged war
against the government. President
Lincoln had issued two proclamations
of amnesty that restored but certain
portions of the members of the south
ern armies and the southern govern
ments to citizenship, and the final, and
general one, came from the hand of
President johnson on December 25,
1868. 1t was an appropriate observa-
ton of the day, and an epoch marking
event in American history.
And so it is that Christmas has been
to us as a nation a day of peace as it
should be for all time, and to"all the
world.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
This Writer Calls Him a Reader, an
Observer, n Politician and
n Power.

When farming was conducted on
small scale, limited to the mere eff
cheney of the farmer and his sons, its
interests were narrow and its clrcum-
stances mean, writes Frank NJ. Todd
in Ainslee's. It's rewards were so
meager that the "hired hand" was
often better off at the years end than
the man who owned the land, took
the chances and worried away his di-
gestion over the mortgage. The gem
erous moods of nature were examples
too expensive to be initiated, and close
listed parsimony was exalted as the
chief of the virtues.
To-day that is changed over large
area of the country. On the great
bonanza farms of the west man with
10000 acres under his care, and hun
dreds of men in his employ, is figure
of Importance. His intimate concern
with the worlds affairs makes him q
reader, an observer, often politician
and a power. Even 10000 acres is too
small for him to confine himself to-.
His great business demands that he
travel. He must go to Duluth, to Min
neapolis, to Chicago, to Buffalo and
to New York. A small mistake, a
failure to sell at the right time, or to
discard an old machine and adopt a
new one, may cost him thousands. He
is working his brain as hard as he can,
and calling on his faculties for all
they will do. He is bringing himself
and his business more and more into
touch with the modern spirit, and
through combination with his neigh
,bors is making agriculture more and
more power in the land.

ALL HE NEEDED WAS TIME.
Railroad Omcial Got Even in a Game
of Poker by PrOlOnging
Journey.

Some years ago a man now way
up in railroad circles held position
with the Central branch road, just
big enough to enable him to take a
trip over the line now and then in
a special car, says the Kansas City
journal. He was somewhat of a
poker player and occasionally would
invite some of his friends who knew
the game to take a trip over the line
with him. On one of the return trips
his friends were getting into him in
good shape. He was $40o or $500
loser.
The train was within II miles OF
Atchison and he knew there was no
show for him to pull out even in the
time it would take to run in. So he
excused himself and went to the bag
gage car and pulled the air. The
train came to a stop. He talked with
the engineer for a few minutes.
Then he went back and resumed
plaving. The train didn't move. The
friends asked him what was the mat
ter He said that the engine had
slipped an eccentric and he had tele-
oraphed to Atchison for another en-
zine. In a couple of hours, through
some plucky plays, the railroad man
got even with the game. Then he
stepped to the platform of the car
and yelled to the engineer: Run
like hi into town. I'm even with
the game"

Some Memorable Christmas
Seasons in American History

were a peace-seeking people; they had
crossed the ocean in quest of peace,
and it was at the Christmas season
that they first found it in the new
land.
Throughout the remainder OF our
colonial history there is recorded but
little of the events of Christmas day
or of the Christmas season. During
those years it was time given over
to spiritual meditation, to the per-
Torrance of good deeds, to neighborly
intercourse, and not to history max
inc. No matter what the trials OF the
wear may have been, whether one OF
dissensions among the colonies, or
wars with the Indians, the Christmas
season usually brought peace and gooo
will rather than the stirring events re-
corded in history.
Another memorable Christmas sea-
SON in American history that pro-
claimed "peace on earth, good VIII 10
mep."was that of 1888, when on Decem-
her % Gen. Washington reported to
congress at Annapolis the completion
of the task assigned him, and surren-
dered his commission as general IN
chief of the American armies. II was
the final act in that long struggle 1or
our independence, and it came at an p
nropriate time, at a time when the
thoughts of the world turn naturally 10
peace. Significant and impressive as
was the simple ceremony in whlcn the
great soldier and patriot hgureo as
the central figure, it was maze tne
more SO because of the time OF the
wear at which it was enacted. Peace
came as a blessing to the nation ana
