On Earth Peace
Continued from page 8

whom the bonds of the flesh held fast. That
promise-of freedom to the oppressed, of
strength to the weak, of health to the sick,
of rest to the weary, and of joy to all who
mourn-sy mbolized in the Star that led the
wanderers to the spot, has never since been
extinguished in the hearts Of men. Dimmed
and darkened though it might be at times by
error, by misery or crime, it has yet con-
tinued to shine on, now with feebler, now
with brighter, glow, throughout the ages,
and the world on which that light has once
dawned can never again be the same it was.
We must not then despair; however
gloomy the near prospect seem, let us look
out with confidence to the distant horizon
for sign of the realization of Our dearest
hopes. 1t rests with ourselves, with each
one of us, either to help to Illustrate those
hopes in Our generation, or to work to bring
about their fulflment. Whatever be the
measure of Our success, if the ideas for which
we combat seem to make only slow progress,
we know that sooner or later the good cause
must triumph, and all voices join in the
angelic song, lon earth peace, good will
toward men,"
EXPERIENCE
The cycle of the dewdrop and the cycle of the
sea,
The smallest and the greatest, tbs question of
degree.
IT'S the same within the ocean and the drop of
water small;
And the dweler in the dewdrop has felt and
known it ALL
Yea. I, within my dewdrop, have felt and
known it all! M. E. Bnhler

hope in his heart, and at last one winter
evening, when he was gray with years and
gray with dust, he came in very truth to the
wonder wood. And at the JOY of that finding
his tagging spirits cheered, and his tired
limbs grew brisk, and his heart drummed
the marching roll of youth. And he pushed
his way through the forest till he came to
the clearing"
Again he made a pause, and again Brown
Eyes questioned.
WAS the girl there?" she asked with a
voice that she wished was steadier.
The Traveller shook his head. "No girl
was there; but where she had stood there
rose mighty Christmas tree, the mightiest
ever seen or conceived, for its roots were
gripped in the core of the earth, and its top
was lost in the clouds of heaven; and he
knew as he looked that it was Ygdrasil, the
Tree of Life; and it was all blazing with
lights, for it was Christmas Day, and fairy
sat at its foot. And when the fairy saw the
wanderer she greeted him, and babe him
come forward and be bold; for he might
choose him whatever gift he pleased from
the Christmas Tree of Life. And there were
crowns on the tree of great kingdoms, and
purses that were always plump with gold,
and swords of invincibility, and caps of in
visibility, and more such marvels than l
could reckon in days march"
Again he paused; but this time the girl
said nothing. She was too intent in her task
Of fastening little gilt heart to a somewhat
troublesome bough. The Traveller went on
with his story.
but the wanderer saw, far away and
above him on high bough among the stars,
a little gold heart swinging, and as it swung
the wood seemed filled with music, and he
dreamed waking, and he knew for sure that
the heart was the heart of his hearts desire,
and he pointed to the beautiful thing, and
besought the fairy to give it him."
The Traveller stopped again, so long this
time that it would seem as if he had finished
the tale. Brown Eyes was annoyed to find
that her fingers were trembling so provok
ingly that she could not satisfactorily secure
the heart to the bough. To comfort herself
in the trying silence she asked:
did the fairy give him the hearth"
The Traveller rose to his feet. There is
the curious part of my story. l cannot yet
tell you how it ended. Yet it ought to have
an end. All fairy tales should end somehow,
sadly or happily" He moved nearer to the
girl, and stood beside her where she bent
over her refractory task.
"You offered me a gift from your Christ
mas tree, just as the fairy in my tale offered
one to the wanderer from Ygdrasil, the
Christmas Tree of Life. Well, have set my
heart upon gift. Will you give me this lit
tie golden heart" He pointed to the little
toy that quivered in her fingers.

Three and a Christmas Tree
nj page
Continued from page g

THERE was deep silence for awhile in the
Odd Room the silence of an anxious
man and dreaming maid. After pause
the Traveller spoke again. and his voice was
very gentle and tender and appealing: =.
Perhaps you see visions" he said, "per-
haps you hear voices; other faces that you
have seen, other faces that you may see;
words that have been spoken to you, sweet
words, even if they were not always sweet
words for kind heart to hear. Can your
kind heart find any sweetness in my words
of love?"
The Traveller was right, and Brown Eyes
was, as it were, seeing visions,-the vision
of her little company of admirers, some that
were suitors once, and had their day and
their doom; some that we're possible suitors,
ready to proclaim themselves as such on the
first chance or the least encouragement.
Out of these latter the figure of the Cham
pion asserted itself conspicuously. She liked
the Champion very much; he amused her,
he was good fellow. 1t had never occurred
to her that she was or could be in love with
him; but she had not known what it meant
to be in love, though she had thought of him
very nebulously, as one whom it might be
possible to marry. And then the Traveller
came, and changed the world of her thoughts,
and filled her with interests and aspirations
such as she had never known before. But
she had not thought of him as lover; rather
as of wonderful visitor who comes for
little into some quiet life and fills it for
time with light and color and living words
words that mean things, words that mean
thoughts that enrich existence. And now
the stranger stretched out his hand to her,
and prayed for her final, abiding friendship;
now the conquering voice was tuned to en-
treaty, wooed her for wife. 1t was all bewil-
dering; but she was beginning to gain knowl-
edge of herself, knowledge of change, none
the less complete because so gradual, that
now its certainty took her unawares, and
made her reel before the sudden astonishing
self revelation.
THERE was tramp of sturdy feet out
side, and the girl was nervously active
over the tree, as the Champion paused for an
instant outside the glass doors on his way
to the golf links and looked in. He saw the
girl still at work upon her childish task,
though the tree was now blaze of gold and
colors, and needed little more. He saw the
Traveller watching the work with quiet at
tention.
"You ought to be out of doors" he shout
ed, and then shook his head. Il don't be-
lieve in Christmas trees" he called, and
turning tramped away.
The girl turned swiftly and faced her
waiting companion. II dol" she said
eagerly, and slipped the little gilt heart into
the Travellers hand.

Great Germicide.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct 21-Professor
H. c. Carel of the University of Min
nesota, for many years head of the
department of medical chemistry and
toxicology and chemist to the Mime
sofa state board of health, has dis
covered a chemical that will revolu-
tionize the warfare upon germ life,
the arch enemy of the human system,
and bring success in cases where the
physician heretofore has been baffled.
Prof Carel has had exhaustive tests
made by leading psychologists, and
their reports have more than borne
out his assertions. The new chemi-
cal, which he calls benetol,- is eight
times as strong as carbolic acid, and
yet is not a poison Never before
have physicians been able to give
doses of any diisnfectant in sufficient
strength to kill germs.
Prof. Carel, in speaking of the new
chemical, said: 81 am so confident
in benetol that I am willing to submit
myself to cholera infection, to prove
that it can be successfully treated
with my discovery.

He OWNED her purpose, and scuf-

took it away from him.

the hands and arms, while the man
had scratches on his hands and face.
