A Song of Christmas Day

III lne neld with tnelr HOOKS aDldlng,
They lay on the dewy ground;
And glimmering under the starlight
The sheep lay white around;
When the light of the Lord streamed DER them,
And 10! from the heav'n above;
An angel leaned from the glory,
And sang the song of love
He sang that first sweet Christmas
The song that shall never cease:
Glory to God in the highest,
On earth goodwill and peace
To you in the city of David
A Saviour is born to-day"
And sudden host of the heav My ones
Flashed forth to join the lay,
Oh, never hath sWeeter message
Thrilled home to the souls of men,
And the heav ms themselves had never heard
A gadder choir till then
For they sang that Christmas carol,
That never on earth shall cease:
Glory to God in the highest,
On earth goodwill and peace"
And the shepherds came to the manger,
And gazed on the Holy Child;
And calmly Ger that rude cradle
The Virgin Mother smiled;
And the sky in the start silence,
Seemed full of the angel lay
To you in the city of David
A Saviour is born to-day"
On they sang; and know that never
The carol on earth shall cease
Glory to God in the highest;
On earth goodwill and peace"

ACID THROWER RAISES
TECHNICAL DEFENSE
Henesey's Lawyer Argues Car
boIic Crystal Is Harmless

Attorney Stanley Moore took a die
tionary and an enca clopedia to Judge
Cabaniss court yesterday to aid him
in the argument of highly technical
demurrer to the indictment charging
Walter J. Henesev, the dentist, with
throwing carbolic acid upon Laura
Lyle Jones, an actress, who had re
peatedly refused his offers of mar
riage. Moore contended that carbolic
acid was a white crystal, quite harm
less when thrown against person
unless dissolved in water or alcohol.
Moore considered this a reason why
the indictment should be set aside by
the court. although he did not deny
that carbolic acid is usually sold in
its liquid form.
Judge Cabaniss did not think much
of this technicality, but he granted
Moore's request for a continuance TO
December l for the citation of authori-
ties.
Henesey threw the acid in the face
of Miss Jones a the Hotel Miles Sep
tember 16. The indictment charges
that he did this TO injure and dishgure
her
