exclamation.
Washington. himself, gives some evil
dence in his writings. In September,
1777, when on the way toward Valley
Forge, he wrote: "At least one thou
sand men were barefooted and per-
formed the marches in that condition.
OF another day he said: Few men
have more than one shirt; many only
the moiety Of one. and more none at
ALL"
When the dreary winter was at its
height, under date of February IL.
1778, Washington wrote:
"For some days past there has been
little less than . famine in the camp.
A part of the army has been a week
without any kind of flesh, and the rest
three or four days. Naked and starry
ing as hey are, we cannot but admire
the Incompatible patience and fidelity
of the soldiers that they have not beef

general mutiny and dispersion"
One must remember that Washing

the exact reproduction of the original
encampment. The latter plan has the
most followers just now, and will prob
ably be adopted. 1t will not be hard to
arrange the camp in the form it as
sumed when the Colonial troops settled
down to await the coming of spring.
1t has also been uggested that each
State undertake 10 restore that portion
in which its owl soldiers lived. These,
however. are questions for the future.
Valley Forge is twenty-four miles
from Philadelphia. Washington's
headquarters is still preserved. The
building is of brick and bears the
marks of the Revolutionary era IN
scores CT ways. The antique door with
massive knobs and locks and the win
dows with small. square panes show the
antiquity of the structure. The main
hall, furnished with an old settee, leads
to a receptioh-room, and back o. this is
the room where Washington estab-
lished his business office. These two
rooms have new floors, but the floors
in all the other rooms of the building
are the sama that were there when

after a visit to the quaint little house
In which Washington made his head
quarters, the most astonishing thing
about the encampment is that a CEN
tury and a quarter of effort by the ele-
ments has failed to make any impress
on the solid earthworks. The rifle pits
are filed with dead leaves, trees have
grown on the hills that were once
cleared. of timber in order to give the
sh~arpshooterS a view of the points in
danger of attack, and some of the ad-
vanced posts are distinguishable only
because of the signs describing them;
but the lines of trenches are as plain
~ discernible as though Washington's
army had only just marched out of the
camp.
Fort Huntington, with Its fringe of
tall trees. stands grim as ever in the
foreground as one looks down from an
angle of the intrenchments, and it re-
quires little Imagination to see the
mouths of the cannon pointing out of
the embrasures and the CLEAN of the
sentry's bayonet as he parades behind
the wall. From this angle the valley
stretches in peaceful beauty, two or
three old-fashioned houses the only
structures in sight, and the white col
umn erected by the Daughters of the
all around, the most conspicuous mark
on the pastoral landscape.

them were unfit for duty from lack Of
clothes. Not more than five thousand
of the whole number could be consid-
cred effective fighting men. The well
fed and clothed British threatened
from nearby Philadelphia, and the
danger of a sudden attack added to
their cup Of bitterness.
"Yet, amidst all this suffering, day
after day." writes Losing in one of
his Revolutionary histories, surround

still warm and hopeful in the hearts
of the soldiers, and the love of self
was merged in the holy sentiment Of
love of country. 1t was n of the most
trying scenes in the life of Washing
ton: but a cloud of doubt seldom dark
ened the serene atmosphere of his
hopes. He knew that the cause was
just and holy, and his faith and conf
dence in God as a defender and helper
of the right were as steady in their
m~inistrations of vigor to his soul as
were the pulsations of his heart to his
limbs. In perfect reliance upon the
Divine Providence he moved in the
midst of crushed hopes and planned
brilliant schemes for the future"

SONGS in the Night.

God . giveth songs in the
night. Any man can sing in the day.
When the cup is full. man draws in
spiration from it. When wealth rolls
in abundance around him, any man
can praise the God who gives a plen-
teous harvest, or sends home a, loaded
argosy.
1t is easy to sing when we can read
notes b. daylight; but he is skilful
who sings when there is not a rsy of
light to read by-who sings from his
heart. No nan can make a song in
the night of himself; he may attempt
ii, but he will find that a song in the
night must be divinely inspired. .
No, it is not in mans power to sing
when all is adverse. unless an altar
coal shall touch his lip. : Then,
since our Maker gives 'songs in the
night" let US wait upon Him for the
music.
o Thou Chief Musician, let us not
remain songless because affiiction is
upon us, but tune Thou our lips to the
melody of thanksgiving.-C. II. Spur
CpOn.

Modern Miracles.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has been experimenting for some years
in an. effort TO produce an orange
which will grow in northern climates,
and has recently met with success.
Tangelo is the name of the new
orange. How was it produced? By
plant marriage. The wiry, tough.
soul little orange of Japan was mar
ried to the luscious Florida orange.
This is only one of the many miracles
wrought to-day by scientists. Surely.
it is feasible to think of a miracle
wrought in the spiritual realm by the
union of God and man. Every day
spiritual miracles are being performed,
man becomes n new creature as he
becomes united through faith to his
Saviour.

Why Perfesi Beer
 Means Health
The Best Beer Is Possibls Only With Eight-Day Halt-A Scientific Fact
 About Brewing.

A perfect beer is healthfui--it builds up strength, aids digestion. and acts as tonic in giving renewed vitality. A perfect beer Is possible only with perfect malt. and perfect malt can only be made by the eight-day process used by
 Malt is made from barley. Barley contains fin it's elementary form the constituents that go to build up the human system. The process of making know, is much the same as the process growing and the chemical changes that take place when 1t sprouts are similar to the action of the digestive fluids in the body if the grain were eaten
 Pabst has proven by scientific ex- periments and sixty years of practical in making malt to bring about those necessary chemical changes by which the perfect predigested malt Is pro- duced. In many breweries the old four-day process is still used and the malt is of forced. unnatural develop ment. It lacks in nutrition and is in all ways inferior, much of the vital nutriment of the grain being lost. The Pabst eight-day malting process re- tains in predigested form in the beer all of the nutritious, life-giving ele- ments of the grain.
 Pabst eight-day malt, the perfect malt, doubles the cost of brewing-but method of brewing, makes Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer superior as a nourishing tome and a delicious beverage.
 M your. food doesn't taste just right. or if your digestion is a little "off." or your appetite is poor. drink Pabst Blue and find out for yourself how tood it is.

IN RACE FOR LAND OFFICE JOB.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - Two strong congressional candidates are in the field for the office of commissioner of the general land office, Representa- tive Lacey. of Iowa, and McCleary. of Minnesota. Both go out of public life at the close of this congress, hay. ing been defeated by Democrats.
 Representative Lacey is chairn an of the committee on public lands and Is recognized as the leading authority on land questions in the House. The friends of Representative McCleary feel that he, too. would fill the job satisfactorily.
 The president will give the appoint ment of a new commissioner special consideration because of the recent disclosures during investigations of the interstate commerce commission, indicating that great frauds have been perpetrated upon the government by railroads in the entry of coal lands which were part of the public do- main. Both congressman enjoy the presidents complete confidence.
