Christmas al

NSN Christmas morning" said
w Admiral Evans Fighting Bob
~ II thank God that he made
three times as much water as land.
Every old seadog will join me in
this. The sea is his home; he loves 1t
as the farmer loves his broad acres.
Apart from it he is restless and dissat-
isfied, but with a voyage ahead of him
he is as happy as q clam at high tide.
No true sailor would exchange Christ
mas at sea for one on shore. 1t would
be like Thanksgiving dinner without
the turkey.
"of all the Christmases spent at sea
the one that rises before me most
wildly is that Of 1865. when the fed
eral army and the gunboat fleet were
trying to. capture Fort Fisher. The
only presents we received, and they
came fast and furious, were solid shot
and shell from the guns of the enemy.
But this didn't destroy our sense Of
humor The boys would write on
each solid shot or shell before placing
1t In the gun, presented by and add
the name OF the vessel from which 1t
happened to be fired. Mighty few
hurled at the fort that day lacked this
Christmas greeting. All the gunners
caught the spirit of the grim jest. for
the fighting line is no place for seri.
GUS faces.
Despite the excitement OF the
fierce combat we managed to have the
mastheads of all the ships trimmed
with Christmas green. even though
the sailors had to risk their lives In
going ashore to get them, and you
may be assured the sentiment OF the
day was not wasted.

New Homemade Syrup.
(Cut this Quit
From Boston Post

Progress in medical compounds
never ceases, and now 1t is stated by
prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured in five
hours by the clock. Opium OF NOR
phine have been resorted to In the
past, as relief measures. But now It
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid It of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrurp does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished In hours.
Get this formula filled or mix 1t at
home and always keep It on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
toned up. Give children less according
to age. One filling will usually cure
q whole family, as the dose is small.

beauty, clinging TO the coats of
merry makers on their way to
Christmas eve festivities and swathing
