If | had been the little star
That looked that night on Him
Who slept on Mary mothers
breast
All in winter dim;
I know. l know I would have sung
AS stars ne'er sung before,
Long lingering with my little
lamp
Beside that stable door!
If I had been that little star,
All swung in that blue sky.
That heavenly, holy little CLEAN,
That nights all-seeing eye:
If I in that high course had
marked
My orbit through the dome,
I know, I know I would have run
To take my great news home!

MRS. YOUNG REELECTED.

Chicago, Dec. 18.-Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young has been reelected
superintendent of the schools of
Chicago, having justified in her one
years service the action of the
board of education in appointing a
woman to a $4,000 position. She
was reelected unanimously. Dur
ing the first months of her superin-
tendency she abolished the system
of secret marking that had made
more or less of feud between the
superintendent and the teachers.
President Urion said that in her re-
election the board acknowledged the
excellency of her administration.
The criticism of electing woman,
he said, had been answered by her
administration.

The Popular Magazine.

Washington, December IT,
Children are the most remunera-
tive investments you can make,
asserts Pastor Huckel of Balti-
more. "It is worth while to
skimp and save for them," he
says. "Some people think of
children as burden, or a bother,
or an inconvenience, or an ex-
pense. They may be all of this
but they are worth it. They
are worth all they cost. Children
help us to renew Our youth. They
make us read fairy tales again;
they initiate us into children's
games again; they introduce us
into the fascinating world of their
young friends. Children make us
kindly toward all children. They
open up fountains of sympathy.
Children can teach us infinitely
more than we can teach them.
Children are rally given to train
up a parent in the way he should
go. Children bring us messages
straight from heaven-messages
of innocence, tenderness, depend
ence, love. A parents love and
sacrifce-a true father or mother
would die for their child-is a
vision of the supreme sacrifice in
Christ. A true home with the
child in the midst becomes a very
window of heaven"

GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE.

God bless us every one!" prayed
Tiny Tim,
Crippled, and dwarfed of body,
yet so tall
OF soul, we tiptoe earth to look
on him,
High towering over all.
He loved the loveless world, nor
dreamed, indeed,
That it, at best, could give to
him, the while,
But plying glances, when his
only need
Was but CHEEKY smile.
And thus he prayed, "God bless
us every one!'
Enfolding all the creeds within
the span
OF his child-heart and so, despis-
ing none,
Was nearer saint than man.

Beside that humble stall a look
Again, again, again:
And there with rapture gazing
down,
My smile He sees, I'd say,
And He will wait for me again
To bring my light, l pray!
If I had been that little star
In that lone sky and blue,
I'd stood still, as in Ajalon
They dreamt the stars could do,
And casting there upon His head
One soft beam all the while,
Oh, l would ask no other gift
Than just to t! help Him smile!
A delicate perfume will be given
to linen by putting lump of
orris root into the boiler on wash
ing days. The delicious fragrance
thus given will last even after
ironing, but will at no time be
penetrating enough to be dis
agreeable. Another and even
more lasting method is to put a
Tokay bean in the drawer in
which the linen is laid. This per-
fume in large quantities is over
powering, but one bean will give
just the right odor. 1t usually re-
quires warmth to bring out the
perfume.
"Charlie" Lands, who is ia

read the most original Shakes

According to him, it appeared
in paper published in Rising
Sun, Ind, and it was called forth
by the production there of Ham
let" by a wandering company.
In Rising Sun Shakespeare was
novelty, and the little theater,
the only one in town, was crowd
ed to the doors for the perform
ance.
The next morning the daily
chronicler of the happenings in
the village printed this:
"Shakespeare's immortal trag-

were out in the best clothes they
could afford. Seldom has such a

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 15.-A great
famine. probably one of the worst in
China's history, will follow the big
flood of the Yangstee river, in China,
according to Sab Little, British Con-
sulate at Ichang, who just arrived
here for the scene of the upirs-
ing in Szechuen province.
"On my way to Hanchow," said
Little, "the steamer passed over
places that once had been fields far
from the river. The whole country
has been turned into an imense lake.
Thousands have been drowned and
famine is already gripping the sur
vivors, and conditions are steadily
growing worse"
Mail advices from Shanghai say
much unrest Is observed in Kansu
province, where dodgers are in circu-
lation which tell the people to rise
and slay foreigners, because the
European nations are planning to di-
vide China, and only America op-
poses the scheme"

matter" was his only comment.
Local officials of the Southern Pa

Local labor officials are "up in the

EXPLANATION
is THAT She
is A WOMAN
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRE.1

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. Is
Madame Marie Mouren, a pretty
French woman, known during the
Mexican rebellion as the queen of
the insurrectos, today is lined up
with the prosecution in its efforts to
extradite General Cap Rhys Pryce on
charges of murder, arson and rob-
berry. Nothing in all the strange
tricks which fate has played them
since they went into the Mexican war
has hurt General Pryce or Captain
Mosby and their boys as much as
this.
When Pryce's case is called today
before United States Commissioner
Van Dyke, Madame Mauren. Tia
Juana restaurant keeper, whose in
terest in the revolutionists led her
to work many a day in making cart
ridge belts for the soldier boys,
probably will be the first witness to
testify against the former rebel lead
er.
When price and his band captured
Tia Juana May 8, Madame Mourene
was with them, and was the only wo-
man in the city to dress the wounds
of injured insurrectos. Mosby spared
her property from the spoils of war,
AMI absolute protection was given to
Madame Mouren and her husband.
Pryce, when told today that the
queen Of the insurrectos" was here
to testify against him, was speech
less. Pryce cannot understand the
French woman's sudden change of
feeling. Madame Mouren will make
no explanation.

New Westminster, B. c., Sept. Is.
Robbers last night blew the safe
in the branch bank of Montreal. In
dications are that entrance was made
by a key to the front door. Then it
was easy, as they worked from the
fear of the vault, where the bricks
were not cemented ,and drilled the
big safe, without interference.
Manager Brymner, Of the looted
Bank of Montreal branch, stated that
the total amount in the vault robbed
was $4,000, some of which, prob
ably $4,000, was left scattered
about The staff of the bank was
busy this forenoon at work in ascer-
tanning the exact amount of the loss,
and Manager Brymner will issue
positive statement as soon as their
work is completed.
The bank robbers were expert safe
wreckers, stated Chief of Police
Bradshaw, as he laid out before him
the tools which he had gathered in
the vault. "They must have fired

had chosen their tools in every way
suitable for the task, and had care
fully estimated all the conditions.
Entry had doubtless been made by a
key through the front door, then
disturbing no lights in the front Of
fee of the bank, they had worked
from the rear Of the brick vault, the
walls of which had lent themselves
to easy operations, as the bricks were
not commented, but united with
mortar.
Once into the vault, their work
was easy. The cash safe therein, in
which the money they had rightly es-
timated rested, could be drilled with
out fear of disturbance, and the
charge of dynamite shot off without
noise. The bedding of the absent
janitor was taken to plug up the
opening they had made in the wall
of the safe thus there was little pos
of the soundo the explosion
