Match to Be Contested
Saturday.

Owing to unaccountable delay. the ap-
pOintmeTt Of commander OF the Naval
Battalion OF the District Of Columbia
has not yet been made Il was expected
that the commander would be chosen
moro than two weeks ago. and il WAS
announced from the Guard Headquar-
tiers that the appointment was prac-
tically settled about three weeks ago.
The three or four candidates for the
position are all in this city, and as the
matter rests entirely with General Har-
ries. IL is believed that he has seen all
Of them before this. The delay mysti-
FEES the members OF the battalion. who
do not know now whether or not they
are 10 have a new commander.
Guard Circles Quiet.
The quiet prevailing for the past sew
eral weeks in guard circles has not been
broken. The regular schedule rifle prac.

things to attract the attention OF the
citizen soldiers.

ington Light Infantry was held last
night in the armory of the organization.

those social functions there is no undue
excitement.
The National Guard made creditable
showing on last Monday, when a pro-
visional battalion formed an escort o.
honor at the funeral Of the late Col
Robert Boyd The showing was an
other evidence OF the dependability o.
the local soldiery.
In view Of the fact that the order.
for the citizen soldiers to participate il
the services were not issued until lat,
Saturday afternoon. the showing made
was excellent and they are deserving
or great credit. Monday the weather
was incIcment and there were othe1
drawbacks. but still the guardsmen were
on hand and remained until dismissed

In Days of Old
Committee.

In days of old it must have been
Quite hard to be a baby;
There were no patent matted foods
To build up tissue-maybe.
There were no mixtures guaranteed
To check eczema's itching;
Nosysten of massage that could
Create compilations wilching.
In days of old it must have been
Quite hard to be a girl;
There were no network costumes then
To make mems senses whirl,
There were no beauty talks to hear,
No iced drinks to taste;
There we're no calisthenics for
Diminishing the waist.
In days of old it must have been
Quite hard to be a youth;
No guide to courtship could be found,
Complied by Annie Ruth.
No How to live on Ten Week
And Keep Family, Too
Without chance to read such hints
What could the poor yaps do?
In days OF old it must have been
Quite hard to be man;
There was no way to build home
On the installment plan.
In days of old it must have been
Quite hard to live at all!
Still, in the past mxch ice was cut
On this terrestrial ball

Uncle Toms 4
@NChat.
Death of 7. B. Wooten.

Death in some form comes to all living
things. Well did Solemn say, "Man has
no pre- .eminence over a beast whatever.
One by one our friends are called to go
hence and we know not when nor where.
Oh how painful it is when word comes TO
us that one of our loved friends has had
their life crushed out in the dark caverns
of the mines, il makes us sad and gloomy.
Such was the case on December, 23rd when
our old friend, Ton Wooten iost mis- life
by fall of slate in the mines No more
will we meet Uncle Tom; no more will we
joke or tease him. ! always liked Uncle
Tom Nooten and am heartily sorry that
he had to yield up his life in the manner
he did. But he died at his post following
the occupation OF his life and trying to
earn an honest living for his family which
is cummendable the world over. Although
feeble and in bad health Uncle Tom tried
to discharge his duty towards his family.
He was sober, faithful worker giving his
employers and forcmen no trouble which
is commemorate and worthy of imitation
believe all the men liked Uncle Tom and
have no doubt they all feel grieved over
the loss of their Oldest miner, but God in
his love and mercy does everything for the
best; while he suffers many things to hap
pen to the contrary to our wishes, yet hi
does it for some good purpose. ! woulc
say just trust God and believe in his sor
and he will carry you through, and to th'
miners would say live right so that wher
your end shall come You'll have welcome
to happy home. UNCLE Tom.

Not on the Program,

For a while confusion reigned
supreme at the Methodist Church on
Christmas eve. The house was
packed to suffocation and Santa
Claus was at his best. His faithful
helpers, Walter Patten, Jno. Smith
and others were doing their duty
quite royally and were making the
hearts of the little ones glad and
especially Master Rust by giving
him all the wax he could chew for
years to come.
Risking his lite to please the little
ones, Mr.. Patten was seen climbing
to the top of one of the great trees
to get the numerous toys which were
hanging just out of reach. All at
once a great crash was heard and
Mr.. Patten, tree and all were seen
falling on the little ones VINO were
gathered round. Every face was
grave for an instant and amid the
screams and sobs of the children,
and groups Of pale, excited women,
MIR. Patten was seen rising, pale and
trembling from the mass of dolls,
drums, wax and burning candles.
However no one was seriously hurt
and the rest of the program passed
off smoothly. Santa promised to
make his usual call next year and
hopes to meet us all in the same old
wav
