Coming Through the Rye" In very
charming manner
Miss Whitmore read a paper on
Preparatory Grammar" The dis
cussiOn which followed was opened
by Miss Leming and was very inter-
esting and valuable. 1t brought out
many ideas us to how best to prepare
the children In the grades for the
Latin, German and rhetoric Of the
high school.
The program was closed by music.
Isabelle Hossack, Katherine Oldland
and Hazel Clark, dressed as negroes,
received great applause rs the result
of their two songs, "Malinda's Got
de Misery in her Head and "Cyarve
Dat Possum."
This Is the first time that the public
school children have furnished all
the music. Their work proved one
fact, and that Is II the child is taught
to appear In public, their parents will
be with them, and thus the teachers
and patrons are brought into closer
relationship with each other.
After the program the teachers Of
the county remained and organized
q teachers association. The follow
ing officers were appointed until
June:
President-Miss Genia Leming.
Secretary-Mr. Helper.
Program Committee: Miss Wini-
freq Rees, c. F. Brown and Mr.. Sell
lers.
Another meeting will be held In the

doubtless made them think of home
and of the happy groups around the
glittering Christmas trees beyond the
Rhine. They were evidently listening
for no other sound was audible-not
a step, not a movement of arms. AS
soon as K had done his hymn
he gave another military salute, turned
on his heel as on a pivot, and DELHI.
erately walked back to u line.
: "'Well, captain, said he, are you
sorry that you gave me leave?'
Before l could reply. a soldier had
begun to move across the snow from
the opposite camp. He, like K,
saluted, and. between the companies
of armed men. he sang a German YER
sion of the Noel. Noel, that the
French recruit had sung. ! had given
orders, though they were superfluous,
not to fire on him. He sang the hymn
through. verse by verse, and when he
came to the refrain. the soldiers in
both camps joined in the chorus:
"Noell Noel! Christ hath ransomed
Israeli
"The same emotion filed all hearts.
All diversities and enmities had been
forgotten in the presence of the
Prince of Peace. The soldier then de-
parted to the German lines and dis
appeared. A few hours later we be-
gan to fire again"

TRUCE OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Song of Israel Causes Suspension of
Hostilities Which Neither Army
Gould Resist.

ION the night preceding the 25th
of December, 1870" began a captain,
according to the Methodist Recorder,
Il was in command of a company of
volunteers engaged in the defense of
Paris. The siege had already lasted
three months, and in the trenches my
brave comrades were enduring martyr
dom of suffering and p~rivation. The
cold was biting bitterly; the stars were
shivering in a cloudless sky; the moon
shone brightly on the snow-clad plain
between us and the enemy; the Ger
man trenches were so close to us that
we could hear the passwords of their
sentinels as, hour by hour, they were
relieved and passed into their camp.
"As was walking about to keep my
feet from freezing. one of my men
came up to me, and, saluting, said:
Captain, / have a strange request to
make; | want you to permit me for a
little while to leave the trenches
Leave the trenches?' | replied.
But why? Because 1t is so cold? 1t

toward the German lines. 4 shan't be

HE had aroused my curiosity. I
granted him permission. but warned
him that he would most probably get
killed.
"'No fear he said, and, leaping over
the ramparts, he walked into the mid
die of the plain.
1--WE followed him with our eyes,
listening for the sharp crack Of the
enemy's rifles, and expecting at every
step to see him fall. Not a sound,
save the c%runching of the frozen snow
beneath his feet! AS soon as he had
come within hearing of the German
sentries he paused, saluted, and began
to sing a %well-known Christmas hymn,
with the refrain:
"Noel! NOEL Christ is King of Israeli"

done, the strain took from the night,
the scene, the circumstances, such a
beauty and sublimity that the least

spoke nor stirred. 1t seemed as if a

CHRISTMAS TREE FEATURE
Dancing Dolls Above Parlor Decor
alton Produces Pretty Effect
!, for Holiday.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
nance the children's delight In the
Christmas tree, and once made can be
used year after year, says Woman's
Home Companion. Buy up a dozen or
more of five and ten-cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the num-
Der some Japanese and colored dolls.
Dress these to represent fairies in bright
hues of spangled gauze. tarlatan or It's
sue paper, and literally sprinkle their
hair And garments with diamond-dust
powder. Each doll should be. provided
with a dainty pair of fairy wings made
from spangled tissue paper and fastened
to the body by means of concealed wires.
These wires should be coiled to obtain
motion in the wings, and nothing better
can be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out of WORKOUT, unrestricted
brooms. The least motion will set this
spiral to %quivering, causing the wings
to move as if in fight. In like manner
use the spiral wire to attach the dolls in
lowering positions over and around the
tree. The effect is magical; every foot
step causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as if invisible fairies of the air
had come down to join him in the
Christmas glee.
