A WARTIME CHRISTMAS
By PERCY CLARK

Glancing over a book of war reminis- oences Christmas day, came across this story. As the principal characters in 1t are so potently connected with our pres ent day industrial life, I have transcribed it. I can see the Rappahannock flowing along through it's rock bed overlooked by Marye's heights whereon stands the mon ument to Washington's mother. Those heights command the bloody ground where the Confederates bitterly annihi- lated Maeghers Irish brigade in the littlo cerr patch in the bottom.
 Tradition says that the youthful Wash irgton was wont to try his skill at throw ing a rock across the Rappahannock, down where it widens, opposite Freder- icksburg.
 Here is the story, taken from 8 Penn sylvania newspaper
 I've have before us quite an interest ing picture in colors. The date is Christ mas morning, 1862, just F days after tho battle of Fredericksburg. A group of Union soldiers are doing picket duty upon the Rappahannock river. On the opposite side of the river is another group of soldiers doing picket duty, but for the Confederate army.
 "As far as these two picket posts are concerned, an armistice has been de- elared. One of the Union soldiers has built a little boat and made sail for

 '' This is the Yanl1s Christmas pres ent to their enemies, the Johnnies.'
 'The small craft is seen making it's way under sail across the river Tie Jobnnies receive the boat, and in duo time it Is returned loaded with tobacco. and a paper accompanying it bearing the message:
 ]" This is the Johnnies' Christmas to their enemies, the Tanks.
 "One of the boys who is seen warming his hands at the fire is MT. Jones, who was superintendent of the Edgar Thop1p- son Steel Works at Braddock, whose sal ary was S50OO0 a year. The boy sitting on the blanket with a tin of coffee in his hands is George M. Laughlin, late of the Jones & Laughlin Steel works. The boy standing up and waving his cup is Henry M Curry of the Carnegie Steel company. These three boys worked their way np from the lowest to the highest position, and did more for the iron and steel in- dustry than any other three men in the United States.
 "'rhe boy standing up beside ccm- rade and pointing to an object on the other side of the river is George Baur, who has been and is now one of the most prominent men in the nation.-The War of the Sixties. IIutchins.'
 Can any one say who the Confederates were? The late Gen. J. w. Bush wrotS personal "reminiscences of some of the incidents of Fredericksburg.

JAN|TORS REQUIRED
 FOR JAIL SERVICE
Inspector Oates Writes the County Officials of the
 Validity of Law

Montgomery, December 26.-fSpeciaL)- Letters setting forth the constitutional ity of that section of the state prison law relative to ianitor service for the iais of the state are being sent out by pr, W. II. Oates, state prison in spector to the boards of revenue and other officers of the various counties of the state.
 The purpose of the circular letter is to correct an impression which obtains in some of the counties to the effect that the prison inspection law is un- constitutional in so far as it pertains 10 the payment by the county for 1ani- tor service for the jail.
 To pr. Oates letter is attached copy of the attorney generals opinion, bearing on the constitutionality of the act. Dr. Oates urges a strict compliance with the law, and requests that in pay ing for janitor service all warrants be drawn payable to the ianitor and not to the sheriff.
 "The law requiring janitors is explicit, and imperative that the court of the county commissioners, or board of rev. enue, shall provide adequate janitor service for the jails,' says Dr. Oates letter.
 "Section 90, page 365 general acts of 1911, reads as follows: That the expense incident to the construction, mainten- ance, sanitation, healthfulness and hy- giene of each county jail, prison and almshouse in this state shall be paid out of the funds of the county in which such institution is located, if the irsti- tuition be a county institution, and of the town or city if institution be a town or city institution"
 This letter is to urge a compliance with this law, and to notify you that, in paying for this service the warrant should be drawn payable to the jaitor, and not to the sheriff. If this service is paid for to any person other than the 1janitor, it will not be allowed by the examiners of public accounts
