A POEM A DAY.
LEGEND OF THE XMAS wRE.rHs.

In sword and sash and scarlet coat,
Upon Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary fields
a soldier rode away.
She watfled him through the falling
snow,
\ young and lovely maid.
In milky pearls and flowing robes
OF velvet green arrayed.
With rumhrs Of the distant wars
The months went SLOWLY by,
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the sky.
And, walking in the lonely wood,
\ bush tie maiden found
With thorns AZ sharp as little swords.
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wovC a wreath Ia wear
OF scarlet berries bright and gay.
Md set ft on fTFT fTa1T.
And 10, the pearls upon her breast
Were changed 10 berries. too
And rooted 10 the oak. a branch

In pearls and velvet still.
And with her in the revels ruled

The important part played by dogs
in the Red Cross service is told in
picture and in story In Popular Me
chanics. The Red Cross in France
has a department for the special train
ing of dogs, and through its efforts
they are taught to search out the
wounded and draw attention to their
location. Untiring work has trained
them not to bark or howl when com
ing upon a wounded soldier, but to re-
trieve some object belonging to him
and carry it to the first Red Cross
worker that can be found. When the
worker takes the object from the
dogs mouth the animal turns about
and leads the way back.
