His Grandfatherss Boy.

My pa says when he was a boy the
gifts he got were cheap and small:
1t made him glad to even have a bag
Of peanuts or q ball;
He never had a camera or a magic
lantern or gun,
Nor railroad tracks nor engines that
by windin with key would run,
And, gee, the work ne had to do! He
never had time to play;
Oh, what a sollum time it must of
been for pa on Christmas day.
He says he had to feed the sheep and
Garry wood in from the shed,
And when it started to get dark he
had to hurry OF to bed;
They never had no Christmas tree
with colored candles burnin bright
And sometimes snow would blow in
through the cracks across his bed
at night;
He had no paints or picture books
when he was just a little tyke,
And eve till he got growed W
found out what ice cream tasted
like.
I'm glad l wasn't pa; 1 guess he had
not much to make him glad,
And yet he always talks about the
happy childhood that he had;
1t seems to me that pa must of beer
a pretty poor excuse
At least that's what ma told US once
and pa got madden than the deuce

The Great Mystery.

wher ! was born

l can see the little window where the
sun came In at morn
Just al brightly as it did for Thorn
as Hood.
i can see the orchard bounded by the
stake and rider fence,
And the rolling meadow turned to
gray and brown,
I can see the wheat fields stretching
to the forest looming dense,
And the country road that runs
away to town.
i can see the windmill turning and
the colony Of bees,
In the garden and the old familiar
we'll;
i can see the smokehouse grimy and
,discolored at the caves,
And the, tall pole holding up the din
ner bell.
4 can seek the creek Of childhood with
its bars of cleaning sand
And the whole dear scene IS If II

And upon my soulFI cannot, simply
cannot understand,
What in thunder could have made UT
move away.

Mr.. Sinclair, I" will have to obey the
law, or else their owners will find
themselves as badly sold as the rich
Bostonian who bought an estate in
Scotland called Glen Accra. The Bos-
tonian bought this estate without
having seer it, He believed he could
trust the mar he bought it from. Last
summer he went over to have a look
at the place. The drive from the
nearest railway station to Glen Accra
was a matter Of twelve miles. The
Bostonian hired a Highlander to
drive him. AS the cart logged along

Another day or wv n Jne rec
ords for 1907 are finished. Retrospect
lively following the course of events
that mark the months since last Jan
uary, one discovers much that must
make the present year a memorable
one in the pages OF history.
lit is true that certain years may
contain events which figure more on
%spicnously in the minds of men Nv
ing to the element of the spectacular
entering into them as in the instance
of an armed conflict and kindred dis
turbances of the worlds equilibrium.
While the spectacular has not been
lacking in connection with some of
the occurrences OF 1907, the year
issmore noteworthy for the great NOR
al developments which mark its
course.
Contained in the twelye-month o
drawing to a close, are a succession
of events bearing testimony of the
fact that the march of truth and right
through the ages was not retarded
In 1907, but received an impetus,
raWlu)SS1 lOlCS Sldll III IClS. III II rS.t'1
to m The trend of the human
mind toward higher ground is plain
" d~iscernible in the history of the
year.
The demand from coast to coast for
a proper observance of the Sabbath
is a. case in point that shows the trend
of public sentiment in no uncertain
manner. The amazing gains of the
prohibition forces throughout the ma
ton point emphatically to a great
moral awakening that in spite of the
advances already made is still in its
infancy.
The outlook for the new year is
an suspicious one.
The mistakes for 1907 make pos
sible and imperative the successes OF
1908. Compulsory arbitration as a
means of settling industrial disputes
should receive more thoughtful con
sideration because of the psrnicious
Influences of the recent labor trou-
bles on the general welfare of the
public. The late financial furry ha:
born fruit in a demand for currenc,
reform, a problem that may posstbl,
be solved ere the close of the coming
year.
The opportunity. to point out t.
the citizen, the pernicious influence!
that at times permeate political af
fairs. seems especially good in

HOMIE


Our distinguished and much trav-
eled fellow citizen, William Taft,
secretary of war and a receptive can
didate for Roosevelt's job, arrived IN
the United States from foreign parts
last week and declared he had en-
joyed the trip immensely.
His remarks concerning conditions
in Japan and Russia are worthy OF
note. Regarding the chances of war
between the United States and Japan
Mr.. Taft declares that there is alb
soIutelv no disposition that he could
discern on the part of the Island en-
pire 10 maintain ether than the most
Friendly relations with this nation.
He attached no significance to the
proposed maneuvers in the Pacific oil
the fleet commanded by Admiral Ev-
ans further than the fourteen thous,
and mile voyage would give the yes
lsels a thorough trying out and the Pa
cifc ocean was as free to this country
as any for such a purpose.
The secretary also received a cor
,iial reception from the emperor OF
the Russians at S.. Petersburg wheTS
he made a brief stopover on re
homeward journey.
No one seems to have learned very
much regarding the presidential as
perations the secretary may enter
tain, principally because he had 10th
ing to say. However he appears te
be one of the strongest mel mention
ed for the republican nomination III
to the present time, and if Roosevelt
favors him as certain authorities
confidently assert, should prove
warm contender for the prize tha
will be awarded in Chicago next June
At any rate we are glad that Their
is no need to worry about Japan's IN
Notwithstanding that has ap
Ineared unnecessary for some time.

ment to adhere to two things. First,
that we should give everyone an abb

we should try to be sure we were in
the right before we went ahead with
our prosecution.
IF you wish this policy to contin-
ue you should chose for your next

the present incumbent of that ex-
allied position has tried to do-en-
force these laws without fear OF

sented by President Roosevelt and

Christmas and the Forests.

Christmas and the Forests.
When one of the commissioners
of The forests in New York State sug-
gests that the time has come to use
artificial Christmas trees in place OF
the young evergreens now cut for
American children's delight, no ex-
poets that his advice. will have much
weight. Nevertheless it can be pre-
dicted with reasonable certainty
that not many years will have passed
before the Christmas tree as we now
have 1t will cease TO come to the
market in large quantities. The
scarcity of lumber, the incentives to
the preservation Of the valuable trees,
ami the greater profits in letting
trees grow to maturity than in cut
ting them down when young will
work the change. Such facts have
an ~inexorab1e logic.
How Immediately impending q
timber famine in, this country is, few
people have realized until lately. The
numbering industry is the fourth
greatest dindustry in the Unite
States. The annual consumption is
bestimated to be at least three times
1.-The annual growth. Prices have al
ready begun to go and they will GER
tainly go up! more and more rapidly
with succeeding years. II the pres
ent rates of consumption and growth
continue unchanged another gener-
alton will see the lumber exhausted.
The Christmas tree will disappear
from the market long before. that
Etime comes. Long before then stren-
uous efforts will BE under way to
restore the timber lands, with a view
to using them for the annual sup
lply of lumber, instead OF cleaning
them off in a single year and leav-
ling them barren. The young trees
will he carefully cherished, and for
est$owners will put shot gun patrols
around their lands rather than let
a single shoot be destroyed.
Lf the children Of the land could
vote they certainly would all be n

"THE WALLS OF JERICHO"
Henry Stanford. who plays Jack
Frobisher in .'The Walls of Jer-
icho,r a society comedy, was born
at Ramleh, near Alexandria. Egypt,
where his father for many years
was advocate for the Crown. After
his fathers death Mr.. Stanford
went to England and devoted two
years in studying for the bar, but
gave 1t up in favor of the stage
His early experience was gained
in such parts as Romeo. George
d'Alroy, Angus MacAlister. Lord
Beaufey, etc. A season at the
Haymarket London, followed, dur
ing which he played small parts
and understudied Mr.. Lewis Wal
Ter. From there he went to the
Criterion Theatre to understudy
Sir Charles Wyndham in the
Home Secretary. His list of
parts following was long one,
and he was finally engaged by Sir
Henry Irving. in whose company
he acquitted himself most credit
ably in such parts as the Chris
tian in "The Bells" oliver in
"Robespierre' assumed the title
role in "Faust'' in which he
played opposite Sir Henry Irving
and Cecilia Lotus when 1t had its
splendid run of 100 nights at the
Lyceum Theatre in London. and in
many other prominent roles. Mr..
Stanford was a member Of Sir
Henry Irving's company and was
on the stage with him at the
time of the latter's sudden and
tragic death.

Tho remarkable feeling and devo-
tiou shown by dogs to their masters
is feature of geological life that
has many times been demonstrated
but such strong human" character
isttcs as are possessed by st. Bern
ard owned by small boy east OF the
city Is an example of almost unheard
of apimal devotion.
Emmit Shroats. aged IA years the
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Union Shroats,
OF four miles east of the city is the
master of dog which is the pride
OF his life. The animal has been
his playmate since childhood and
better understanding could not exist
between a pair of "frolickers" than
does with this boy and beast. This
big, good natured St. Bernard
seemed to have almost human I'M
derstanding and as he and his master
played together day by day, their
friendship ripened into nothing less
than love and life partnership was
unconsciuosly agreed upon through
which they became each others pro-
sector and best friend
For several years this boy and
beast roamed the woods together
one never being seen without the
the other. They were intimate friends
and should the dog do anything dis
pleasing TO his master he would ex-
press his sorrow by licking the
Lads hands or would lay at his feet
and beg.
Those were happy days but time
came when it was necessary for the
two to separate. At the age of
twelve, young Shroats was afflicted
with necrosis of the bones of his left
leg. He was taken to q hospital
and after several operations which
We're apparently unsuccessful ne lay
in serious condition During this
time his playmate lay at home under
the back porch slowly pining away
MS life. He was a broken hearted
dog and would scarcely come out of
MS den TO eat his meals. He was
looking for Emmit and during the
several months which the lad Law in
the hospital the dog became convert
'e@'O 'AiNtiy DuL SKIN ana
bones.
FINALLY young Shroats' condition
improved and he was taken TO his
home. The big dog seemed to know
that he was coming and scarcely had
the ambulance drawn up at the door
than the animal was barking and
talking all kinds of joyous dog
language. He was celebrating the
return home OF his long lost master.
During the several months that fol-
lowed in which the boy was close
ly confined, the animal laid at his
bedside. He acted as his masters
nurse and should stranger attempt
To enter the bed-chamber while the
lad was asleep, they would hear the
distinct warning in the way OF a
deep growl from the faithful dog.
The animal learned TO carry bot
tie Of medicine from a stand Ia
the bedside. When the boy was in
intense pain and would groan, the
st. Bernard would lay on the bef
