sary to straighten the branches out
into the original shape.
When the inventor was a girl, fifty
FIVE or sixty years ago, in Munich, she
went to one Of those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says, everything NIT the
hands" 1t was having to make
wreaths out of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees. She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads, each at the end of long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether in threes, making trefoils, and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the
trunk being formed Of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether. Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it in a pot Of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud Of 1t. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
nich, showed it to his royal master,
and King Ludwig Immediately ordered
one for the Christmas festivities at
court.
After coming to this country she sent
one to President Roosevelt and was
grieved and surprised to find that he
could not accept it.
''I expect he thinks he gets some dy-
namite." said the daughter.-New York
Tribune.

A young man presented an engage
mcnt ring to lovely girl he had won
with the remark, I am poor, but You
manage as mother does and we III get
along nicely" The young lady in
vestigated how mother managed. :"
She was wife, mother, q house
keeper, a business manager, a hired
girl, a laundress, q sesmstress, a
member and patcher, dairy maid, a
cook, a nurse, a kitchen gardener,
and general slave for family of
five. She works from I've in the
morning until ten at night, and l
almost wept when l kissed her hand
it was so hard and wrinkled. and
unkissed. When | saw her polish
ing the stove, carrying big buckets of
of water and great armfuls of wood,
often splitting the latter, my heart
failed me. and it is needless to say the
rsng was returned" If the wife must
drudge let the husband share it..
If she must cook let him carry the
the fuel, if she must scrub let him
carry the water, if she must churn
let him milk the COWS. The girl did
what every girl of sense and wisdom
would do.
There is an old legend that runs III
this wise: At creatson's dawn an
angel come to earth, and before re-
turning looked about for something
to carry back to heaven There were
| three things that attracted the at
tention of the white winged messen-
ger-a boquet of sweet flowers that
had been gathered from one of earth s
fair and blooming gardens. tue smile
of little baby that had been playing
with sunbeam, and mothers love
These three the angel carried away
but when it reached :he pearly gate;
of paradise the flowers had withereC
THE baby's smile had vanished
| Only the mother s love reamined the
same, and being found as pure anC
eternal as the waters that flowed by
Gods throne, all the angels ranged
above exclaimed in unison: There
tis nothing on earth pure enough fol
heaven but mothers Lowell" This wa.
a tribute containing su IN
thought. And through all the ages
it has been human experience thai
the angels referred to in that legend
were not over extravagant in the
message which they passed out
through the open windows of the
many mansions" along the banks
of the River of Gold"

Fortune For TOYS For the Poor

W eS"S VI tOyS TUT IiS FooTs
The poor children Of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure Of an estate valued at
$4,000, left by the late George B.
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother, at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase Of gifts and playthings
for poor children, especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible.

Alcohol O Brew From Death.

Alcohol is a direct offspring of the
devil. Alcohol can not be made from
any fruit, grain or vegetable in its
natural state. 1t must first die, and
from its reeking, decaying body alco-
hol is obtained. You have to have
death first to get this liquid damna-
ton. The Bible says, by one man S
transgression SIN came into the world
and death by sin. The devil brought
sin, sin brought death, and death
brings alcohol. Alcohol is therefore
the greatgrandson OF the devil and
he knows and owns his own whether
it is licensed to live or not. It acts

Origin of the Christmas Tree.

There is legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple i'm
mediately the leaves of the tree shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed its ma
ture and became the evergreen, in all
seasons preaching the story of mans
fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom
brightly with lights and become beau
tiful with love gifts. The curse is turn
ed into blessing at the coming of
the Christ Child, and we have our
Christmas tree.

The ministers of Justice in Mississ-
ippi come from the people. If MUIR
der is not punished at all in many
cases, or lightly in others, the peo-
pie are to blame. They get what
they demand. The fountain cannot
rise higher than its source. Miscar-
riages of justice in trials for homi-
eide may and do occur in the best
regulated states. But with us MUIR
ders are VIGOROUSLY frequent and
hangings as VIGOROUSLY rare-espe-
cially of white men. The contribu-
ting causes are many. Education,
climate, environment, all enter into
the equation. When the people unite
in sincere and determined purpose
to have justice executed upon MUIR
derers it will be done and not before.

From newspaper comment on the
move it would seem that there is a
real, and fixed, and growing sentiment
for country life. When this has grown
sufficiently strong to work it settles
many of our most complex questions.
But countless thousands in our cities
will continue to strike, and shiv-
err, and starve, raising generations
of mental and physical dwarfs, in
creasing our already rapidly growing
ratio of criminals, who could easily
live in comfort on a small farm.
