A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

During the reign of terror in Paris
one of the most remarkable escapes
was that of NJ. de Chateoubrun. He
was sent to execution with twenty
other prisoners, but after the fifteenth
head had fallen the guilotine got out
of order and q workman was sent for
to repair it. The six remaining vic
Tins were left standing in front of the
machines with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd is very GU
rious, and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
guillotine. BY degrees NJ de Chateu-
brun. who was to the rear of his COM
panions. found himself in the front
line of the spectators. then in the sec
ond and finally we'll behind those who
had come to see his head cut off. Be
fore the men could get the guillotine
in working order night began to fall.
and M. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When in the Champs Elysees he told
a man that wag had tied his hands
and robbed him of his hat, and this
simple individual set him free. A few
days later M. de Chateaubrun escaped
from France.

HIS TURN CAME.

Ben Davis defeated President Madi-
son for election to the Virginia house
of delegates after Madison had left the
White House. Old Davis, who seldom
wore coat, was sitting on a rail fence
OH the roadside in Greene county one
morning when young man dressed in
dapper fashion and evidently from the
city passed by.
Good morning." said Davis, with
the proverbial Virginia politeness.
To this the stranger paid no atten-
ton. In few minutes, however, he
came to fork in the roads and was
evidently in doubt which way he
should go. He retraced his tops to
where Davis still sat on the fence and
asked him with great politeness if he
could tell him which way led to STAN

will you please tell me-" the young
man repeated, which road L take to
get to Standardsville? '

CHRISTMAS NORTH AND SOUTH.

Washington celebrates Christmas in
the northern style, a la New England
that is to say, by simply closing the
stores and keeping quiet-but AIexan-
dria, Va, celebrates in good old south
ern style, with rockets, Roman can
dies. firecrackers, torpedoes, noise and
general rejoicing hilarity
Northern people often wonder why
it is that the southerners celebrate
Christmas like the Fourth of July and
the latter holiday like Christmas, but
the reason is not far to seek. The
southern Christmas is the Christmas
Of old Merrie England, Germany and
France before the reformation. Ac-
cording to the view of all good ortho-
doX Christians of that period, the
birth of Christ was an event such as to
cause delight and general rejoicing
among men, and consequently they
celebrated the Lords birthday with
the proper demonstrations of reioic-
ing. The Puritans were inclined to
frown down religion Of this sort. so
that when America was settled by
Cavalier and Puritan each celebrated

THE ..ADEsTE FIDELEs.

The favorite Christmas hymn is the
well known "Adeste Fideles, which
sung at the early mass on Christmas
morning and is an offertory piece al
the more solemn service later in tl5
day. The authorship of the work IS
matter of doubt. 1t has been ascrloel
TO st. BOnaventure, the great Fran
eiscan doctor and contemporary OF D
Thomas Aquinas. but no trace of sucl
a hymn is found in st. Bonaverturs
works. 1t is probably from a French
OF German source The present m ,r
steal setting had its origin in l'ss
and is popularity attributed to Vincsn'
NOvellO, who was the Organist- at ul.

A REMARKABLE CONCERT.

Carlsbad letter calls attention to a
remarkable concert which took place
ut the Spa on August 6, 1912, a pro-
gram of which is still preserved in the
city archives at that place. The en-
tertainment was given for the benefit
of the sufferers by the fire which had
laid waste Baden and took place at
the Saechsischel Saal. The only per-
formers were Beethoven and Polledro,
who played their own compositions.
There were two pianoforte and two
violin solos and several numbers In
which both took part, says the writer.
The account of the entertainment also
mentions the fact that one of the in
terested listeners was tall, elderly
man, wearing great blue coat, who
sat perfectly erect through out the
performance, never looking anywhere
but at the stage. This was Goethe
The amount realized for the fund was

WHAT is A LADY?

A little while ago an English paper
offered prize for the best definition
of a lady. This is the answer that took
the prize:
ITO be a lady means, rightly, to be a
gentlewoman who shows by her every
word and action a sweet and gentle
dignity, with a gracious charm of
manner; woman whose heart is pure
and true, who is tender toward all suf-
fering, who sympathizes with those in
trouble and is ever ready to give that
which costs her some effort and self
denial. A lady thinks no work derog-
atory, and no one is deemed too low
to receive courtesy and kindness She
is pure and good in every detail of
life, a true friend, and a 'ministering
angel in sorrow and in Sickness
Could anyone give a better answer :?

TOO MUCH SELFISHNEss.

The story is told of little girl who
was one day struggling with her sister
for the possession of an umbrella. The
mother said, DAISY, give it to your
sister. She has let you have it every
day, and you must learn to give it
up" Daisy's reply was as energetic
as it was unexpected. ooh, mamma, I
can't! There is no giveuppity in me-"
This little girl was honest at any rate
She stated facts as she felt them. A
good many older people, if they were
frank, would say as much. There
ought to be a great deal of "giveup-
pity in us all. Many OF. the ills from
which modern society suffers are due
to the fact that so many people grasp
all that they can get, and give up as
little as possible.

THE CROSS.


There are wrongs that can not be
righted;
There are crosses that must be
borne;
There are duties that can not be
slighted:
There are thorn-crowns that must
be worn.
There are griefs that can not find
comfort,
And wounds that can not be healed;
There are sorrows so deep in the hui
man heart
They can not be half revealed.
But. oh. let us carry our crosses
We carry them not alone:
Let us tread over earth's rough places
Even as Christ has done.
Let US bury our bitter sorrows
Deep in His Sacred Heart,
And think what blessed thing it is
To have His sorrows a part.
Let us think of the wrongs He suf-
fered,
Let us think of the Cross He bore;
Let us think of weary journeys.
Let us think of the crown He wore.
Surely the pain and the sorrow
Christ chose for Himself must be
best;
Let US follow Him, then, in the way of
the Cross;
Twill lead unto Heavens sweet rest.

WHAT MAKES a NOVEL IMNIoRALq

makes novel immoraI?" Miss COrinne
Bacon of the Newark public library,
says in part: "a novel may have moth
ing Objectionable about it, so far as it's
love affairs go. and yet be a thorough
ly immoral book. For morality in
cludes the whole of life not simply one
relation. The book which degrades
our intellect, vulgarizes our emotions
kills our faith in our kind, is an i'm
moral book; the book which stimu-
lates thought, quickens our sense of
humor, gives us a deeper insight into
men and women and a finer sympathy
with them, is a moral book, let its sub
ject matter have as wide a range as

THOUGHTs IN SORROW.

In every soul there is a secret cham
her,
In every life there is an untold tale,
In every heart there is a covered pic
ture,
That human hands can never dare
unveil
In every heart there is a line deep
craven.
Whose meaning is to dearest friends
unknown.
In every character there is a strong
hold,
The key of which lies in Gods
hands alone.
In every soul there is a chord of feel
ing
Too subtle to be seen or understood,
Which yibrates with certain sad dis
cordance,
Swept carelessly by needless hand
or rude.
In every heart there is an undercur-
rent
Whose depth is fathomless by love
or hate:
In every soul there is a sanctuary.
Which neither friend nor foe can
violate.
So there lies hid in every human
bosom
An unknown world of evil and of
good,
And all of us at times, each in our
measure,
Misunderstood, and are misunder-
stood
For since the golden days of sin1ess
Eden,
No one has fully read another's
soul:
He only searches all things to their
center
Whose calm, clear eye surveys and
guides the world
