ALL ORGANIZATIONS
 TAKING INTEREST
MONDAY MORNING A SPECIAL AD- DRESS ON TUBERCULOSIS WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE STU DENTS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Especial interest is being shown in the tuberculosis exhibit by different organiza- tions, both secret and otherwise num- Der of them have arranged for day tt the exhibit, and have given assurance of their efforts to promote the fight against the dread plague. Churches are also in- cluded In this list.
 The pupils of the High school will re- ceiye special instruction in the fighting of this disease. Monday at 1015 in the morning there will be a special address on tuberculosis before the High school students and faculty. Already the high schools of the leading cities. both north and south. have had special sessions for the presentation of the great destroyer which touches the lives of so many young people just out of school.
 The sessions Monday will be preparatory to cooperation which is expected to come from the young men and women.
 Rev. Walter s. Brown of Brighton vis- ited the tuberculosis exhibition yesterday to announce the formation of a commit tee in Brighton to cooperate with the exhibition management. There will be a Brighton day and a general effort to in- terest the citizens of the town in the exhibition.
 The Twenty-seventh Street Baptist Sui- day school is the first church body ar ranging definitely for an hour at the ex- hibition.
 Rev. J. O. Colley has a special commit tee from the Sunday school planned. On Monday at 3 p. m. there will be rally of teachers and pupils from this school who will visit the tuberculosis exhibi- tion and learn all they can about the prevention of the disease and better en- joyment of life.
 Secretary la. Gusfield, Birmingham lodge No. 36S I. o. B. B., has notified the Amer Iean tuberculosis exhibition that the lodge las appointed a committee of five to visit the exhibition and to report matters which may concern the interests of the order.

MAJORITY INCREASED.
Successor to ampbeII-Bannerman Is
 Easily Elected.

London, May 22-The bye-election today Tn the Stirling district of Scotland to re- place the late Premier Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman resulted in the return of Arthur Ponsonby, liberal who was secre- tary to Sir Henry, by the greatly in- creased majority of 1861.
 This and the recent Scottish bye-elec- tons seem to indicate that Scotland is not influenced by the tide against the lib- erals, probably because the licensing and education bills do not affect Scotland.

and l understand what you think of
me for speaking like this. If l had

Then she laughed joyously, deli

"You are mistaken" she said. 81

from your university and we'd take
walks And we went up to all the

and me the other kid, and you kissed
me once. You've forgotten the little
girl who stood silent in corners and
looked at you with wide eyes. But l

"And just to think for a whole

years you would come to me, and when
l saw you tonight my first impulse was

glad, so glad At once. though, | saw

recall. but I'm glad you didn't, be-
cause it's me, all me. as l am, that you
love, and it's so good that way"
A little later through the frosty air
the midnight bells of Noel rang out
clear. Then at the last. very softly,
from a darkened room across the
court, Lansing Drake heard a verse of
the old Christmas carol he had sung
at his mothers knee:
The snow lay on the ground;
The stars shone bright
He bowed his head in his hands for
the great gift that had come to him

Presently they went out and hailed

They had a very jolly little supper

people at the tables, all devouring

She was silent while they left Mar

broke out in a queer little voice that
was low and tremulous:

The facre rolled into the glare of
an overhead arc light, and he saw her
looking ut him with a half mysterious,
half divine gratitude.

in a hushed voice. Something inside
him was pounding furiously. Some

throbbed.

more so.

Mother,s Coronation DAY.

That first Christmas was the moth
er's coronation day. Each recurring
Christmas parpetuates the memory Of
her great glory. In public and in pri-
vate celebrate of it hers should be
the central figure. Solemn gladness
akin to the Creators satisfaction in
his every good" work should fill her
soul.
In Mr. Harrison S. Morris beautiful
poem. Incarnation, we read how a
laborer, laden with "A tray of tools, a
timbered frame" walked in the sun
shine through city street
Nor knew that out of myriads one
Beside him saw a shadow run
That clasped the centuries in its shade.
But, like loving spirit, there,
In even football at his side,
A shadow walked the pavement wide
With benCed head and humble pride
And angled cross aslant the air.
It was as if the dateless sun
Forgot the years, the far abode,
And 10, upon the sordid road
The cross worn Nazarean trode,
Holding the journey never done.
Every mother who holds her baby in
her arms repeats, unconsciously or CON
sclously the story Of the incarnation.
The blended shadow CLASPS the centu-
ries," past, present and to come, and
eternity itself lin its shade. Marion
Harland in Independent.

then the window was lifted. She
looking Sparrows. The last rays of
the winter sun touched the fine, white
parting that separated the FURNISHED
waves of hair.
If he only dared speak to her! She
might misjudge him before he had a
chance to show his intentions. But he
would do il. He would seize the mo-
ment while this fit of madness lasted
and speak to her. In saner mood his
courage might be unequal to 1t. He
hurried out of the room and stood, hat
in hand, in the court close to her win
dow.
II am your neighbor across the way,

month since I first saw you, and I've
been wanting to know you so much,
so much. | have no means of obtain
ing an Introduction, and at the risk
of your displeasure and your scorn
have ventured to speak to you tonight.
TO tell you how the little Christmas
carol you sang just now somehow
few straight to a fellows heart and
made him think of home and all the
old familiar joys of the season.
He held out a card. His hand shook
a trife. But the girl did not notice
She was looking at him steadily, after
the first start of surprise, the color
coming and going in her cheeks. But

lence. Drake was picking up his pa
per again when
The snow lay on the ground;
The stars shone bright
All. it was the quaint old English
carol, with its liquid, sweet melody,
which he'd learned at his mothers
knee. and Il was the American girl
across the court who was singing it;
When Christ our Lord was born
on Christmas night
No wonder the tears came to his
ewes. That particular carol and that
particular girl made up combination
to which he was bit sensitive If the
truth had been dragged from him
Just that very morning he had writ
ten home:
There's a little American girl oppo-
|. site l don't even know her name
but the mere sight of her keeps me
straight. She's all alone, and she's
evidently studying music. AS for her
singing, she has the most beautiful
voice the good God ever saved from
lost violin, voice to make you
pray, little mother, to turn your laugh
ter to tears, to turn your tears to
laughter"
From the day when he had first seen
her. watering her geraniums on the
sill, the window across the court yon"
der had become a sort of shrine. And
at each new glimpse of her an uniform
ed prayer of thanks surged up within
him that creature so lovely had been
sent by heaven to keep the word
gentleman" stainless, TO make 1t a
thing to strive for and to take
Clearly comfort in.
She was Il stranger too. 1t was
bond between them. Tonight perhaps
she was suffering like him from home
sickness and loneliness. How soon he
could make her forget all that! They
could have a reveillon of their own
and a jolly little supper, laughing to-
gether in sheer happiness of a mutual
understanding of the Christmas spirit
abroad Unchaperoned? What would
they need Of a chaperon, they two
two toilers for the sake of art, COM
rades in arms made equal in rank by
the blessed chance of being both
strangers in this wonderful old Paris?
There was a moving CLEAN of some
thing benin the geraniums yonder
The eheesecloth curtains stirred, and
