The moral to be drawn from the
following incident is that nothing Is
certain in this world and that 1t is a
wise plan to look before you leap,
says the New York World.
A short time ago young Boston
ian, William HOFFMAN. brought to
camp at Ashland, Me-, his bride OF
month. After doing Bar Harbor and
the White mountains the couple
longed for quiet and sought 1t in the
vastness of the primeyal forest. They
would, they thought, be far from
friends, and PREPARED to finish their
vacation clad in old clothes and sur
rounded by limitless freedom.
The only shadow which 1rept up
ward on the roseate horizon of domes-
tic bliss was mice. Mrs. Hoffman has
q horror of mice and the second day
in camp when she discovered one OF
the small rodents scudding from back
of the fireplace in the main room she
nearly went into Mysteries. She
thought that If they had invaded one
room they might another; and that
day the guides spent most of their
time plugging suspicious-looking holes
with soap.
When the shades of evening fell
| Mrs Hoffman grew more nervous and
| demanded a roaring fire in the CRATE.
| This had been cracking cheerfully
some time when there came a knock
at the door and two Portland couples
who were camping in the neighbor
hood dropped in to make friendly
| call. The advent was unexpected, but

was soon lost in the excitement OF the

Hoffman and his male guests wen

guides had retired and the axe wa
missing they seized upon a fourfoo
log lying just back of the camp ant

laid it upon the embers.
Had Mr. Hoffman been less of
tenderfoot he would have noticed tina
the log was hollow and full of bee;

in Ladies' Home Journal. Go out and
mingle with the Christmas throngs.
There is an exhilaration in forming a
part, if only unit, in the crowd that
is so gay and so merry, in hearing
bits of bright talk, in greeting friends
and acquaintance and seeing the over
flowing joy of the children. Never
let single Christmas pass without
reading Christmas story and singing
Christmas song, and do not overlook
the sweet significance of the day itself.
Remember that 1t is for all the world
the anniversary of Christ's birth. Be
as happy as you can and make others
SIS happy as you can.

him senseless. His body was dragged

NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-John II. Red

bled for their views on the prospects
Of home rule. judging from the results
of the British elections to date, have
sent the following replies. John f..
Redmond cabled:
'',The result of the elections SO far Is
full of hope for Ireland. All the lead
ing antihome rulers and cocreionists
are defeated. The overwhelming ma
jority OF the Liberals returned are
friends of Ireland. The great increase
us. All of them are stanch home rul-
ers and have been returned by the
Irish vote in Great Britain. Irish votes
also defeated Balfour and Long. We
are most grateful for the sympathy
and aid of all our friends in America"
Mr.. O'Connor's reply said.
Eve have profound belief and hope
that the results of the elections mean
the beginning of the end of the Irish
struggle for liberty. A good admins
tration can without Legislation restore
1000 evicted tenants to their homes
and farms, and with noncontentious
legislation it can solve the congested
districts problem In two or three years.
The big Liberal majority can give Ire
land a good measure of self govern
ment In spite OF the house of lords"
