A CHRISTMAS HYMN.

No tramp Of marching armies
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within q stable.
And in the sky star.
Their hymns Of peace and gladnsii
To earth the angels brought.
Their "Gloria In ExcelsiS"
To earth the angels taught
When in the lowly manger
The holy mother maid
In tender alteration
Her babe Of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness,
And none SO poor as he,
The little children Of the poor
His very own shall be
No rush OF hostile armies then,
But just the budding sheep.
The angels singing Of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No fame of conquering banners,
No legion sent afaI;
A lamp within stable,
And in the sky star.

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE

Fence posts of many kinds of
ch zap woods which ordinarily
would soon decay if set in the
ground can be made to last for
tw ,nty years by simple treatment
with creosote. Most of the sO.called
"inferior" woods are well adapted
to he treatment, and this is espec'
tally true of cottonwood, aspen,
will .ow, sycamore, low.grade pines,
and some of the gums, When
properly treated, these woods out
last untreated cedar and oak,
which are becoming too scarce and
toe much iu demand for other uses
to allow of their Meeting the de-
mand for fence posts. .
Impregnation with creosote has
been greatly cheapened by the
introduction of the "open tank"
which can be installed at cost of
from $50 to sI6, or much less if
an old boiler is used. A tank With
q bottom IL square feet in area
will suffice for treating 40 to 5O
6,inch posts a day, or double this
nu m Der when two runs per day
can be made. The absorption OF
cresote per post is about as follows!
Eucalyptus, one'tenth gallon; will
low, two, tenths gallonj sassafras,
ash, hicko red oak, water oak,
elm, and maple, four tenths gallon;
Douglas fir, quaking aspen, and
black walnut, six -teuths gallon;
sycamore, cottonwood, and lodge
pole pine, seven-tenths gallon,
The price of ereosote is about 10
cents per gallon In the East and
Middle West, 16 cents per gallon
on the Pacific coast, and 27 cents
per gallon in the Rocky Mountain
States. The cost of treating
post will therefore vary from 4 to
l5 cents. Properly treated, it
should give service for at least
twenty years.
A detailed description Of expert
mepts in preserving fence posts,
with practical suggestions
for treating them on commercial
scale, are contained in Circular III
of the Forest Service. This publ
cstion can be obtained upon appll-

This is an appalling record, and
forms one of the main causes for
sorrow in considering the progress
of this country. 1t may be, as is
claimed, that most of the crimes
for which these lynchings take
place, deserve instant and terrible
death, but this is no excuse for
them, and especially it is no ex
cuse for the various lynchings Civ

offenses If the laws are not strict
enough to adequately punish some
of the crimes, then they should be
made more severe and the law
then be allowed to take its course.
Puplic opinion can control in these
matters, and if there is n demand
for more drastic statutes they
could speedily be placed on the
law books, but mob law in any case
should be frowned upon, because
it is so liza bic TO punish the innC-
cent instead of the guilty. There
are numerous cases where the sup
