MURDERED

Western Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 3d.
After weeks Of careful investiRa ton
the coroner has announced officially
that DIR. Helen Knabe, the pathologist,
who met with a mysterious death at
her home nearly two months ago, was
murdered by some person or persons
unknown.
This finding is in direct contradic-
tion of the police theory which gave
suicide as the probable cause of the
Doctors death, and it is probable that
fresh investigation will be begun
with view to definitely clear up the
mystery surrounding her death.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3O.-The fact that

CHRISTMAS,

lhe Christmas snow is falling
Down from the misty sky,
To rest on the crest of nature
While the winter days go by.
IL trings a note of gladness,
With its silent, gentle fall,
That whispers through the woodland,
Peace, Peace, Sweet peace to ALL"
The Christmas day is dawning
On world all wrapped in white,
While the snow birds sing and twitter
In the early morning light.
And the day brings joy and gladness,
To hide each petty fear,
While summer sun shines over,
With greeting of good cheer.
The Christmas Bells are ringing.
"A merry Christmas Day."
The air repeats the greeting,
In the echoes far away.
The song, the bells are Ginning,
Rings out on the wintry air,
Like calm, sweet benediction,
With a blessing everywhere.
The Christmas Star is shining,
Like beacon from above,
To ever guide the wise men
And tell Of Fathers love.
A voice speaks through the stiffness,
And rings DER field and fen,
"All Joy be thine, and Peace
On earth, good will to man."

AS CHILDREN DO.

 Sometimes, when night is cresring
 down
 And ali the world about is dim, And he must go to Sleepytown, You lie down at the side of him, And whisper soothing little things In childish words. such as you frame To tell the sound of beetle wings And how the firefy gets It's flame. And soon the world grows darker yet And to the little fellows eyes Strange, hidden dangers5now beset The shadow places in the skies; But you speak low and comforting And tell him none of them are there. That near him is not anything But what Is kind and good and fair. Then trembling come his little hands Out through the dark and find your
 face, As though by touch he understands |, That he is in the safest place; And so with fingers on your cheek He signs contentedly to sleep And you-you may not even speak, So very, very still you keeD. Some time you as a little chftA Shall fare into an unknown night And shall yearn for the stars that
 smiled
 With all their soothing, drowsy light: And you, as little children do, --s May grope out through the darks of space And sigh in peace to sleep. when you At last have touched your Fathers
 face.
