ment today began reinforcing its
forces In the northern states where
American interests are suffering
most. Indications are that President

the north must be pacified no matter
what becomes of the remained of the
country. Though Madero denied re-
ceiving ANY news of intention of the
United States to intervene" and con-
slider such rumors preposterous, it is
known that he is fully posted con-
cerning Taft's attitude and threat tc
call an extra session Of Congress
Today's development suggest that
Madero will do all in his power tc
head off such action on the part oi
the United States.

Wilson Under the Limelight.

Woodrow Wilson, some clever
commentator recently observed, has
been under the lmelight for some
time, but he has yet To 60 under the
N-ray. In other words we have
seen what he looks like but have not
yet discovered what is in him
But we are beginning TO. His de-
cision that he would call special
session OF Congress to fulfill plat
form pledges gave us an inkling Of
the stuff he Is made of. On his re-
turn from Bermuda he talked very
frankly and plainly about the game
| sters who are hoping to step back
into power in New Jersey when he
steps out-and what ne said rang
true. 1t showed courage, fidelity
and resolution. 1t showed that the
same genuine-not sham-prOgres
siveness that distinguished him dur
ing the campaign is still his after
he is elected.
And his speech before the South
ern Society in New York was such
as to make Democrats feel like
jumping up and knocking their heels
together three times before alight-
ing. 1t showed the qualities Of an
Andrew jackson Democrat; II fla
vored strongly of the memory OF
the way "Old Hickory talked when
he talked to Nick Biddle. In his

Listen:
Frankly, | don't think there is
any man living who dares use the
machinery for that purpose. If he
does, promise him, not for myself

Wilson explained that he meant, not
literal gibbet, but Il gibbet Of pub
lie disgrace, (which will live as
long as the members of that mans
family survive"
A Democratic congressional com
mittee has been eliciting the in
formation to justify the assumption
on which Mr. Wilson flung down
his defiance. The experience the re-
public was compelled to undergo
during the Roosevelt administration
has proved there are men ready to
precipitate a panic to further their
own ends. At that time they were
not gibbeted. They were honored,
instead, as public saviors, and given
permission to violate the law and
crafty their rapacity if only they
would restore peace and confidence.

Wilson, we are emboldened to be-

I smaller chlidren VINO may some day

young Roman patrician he was ar
/ rested and condemned to the gal.
leys Do you children know what a
| galley is, or was. Well, it was the
sort OF ship that was used in those
days. The people living then didn L
know anything about steam and
steam engines for prOpelling vessels
and their ships, or galleys as they
were called, were built with long
rows Of big oars on each side, the
handles inside the hold or huh Of
the galley, and criminals con-
demned to hard labor for life were
imprisoned in the holds OF these gal
leys and hard task masters were
placed over them to make them pull
the oars and drive the galleys
through the water. They were
Chlitu phlltN hIhNeh.
Ben Hur was condemned to the
galleys with lot OF criminals, and
perhaps there were some others
among them who like Ben Hur were
innocent OF any crime. They were
manacled and all chained together
and made TO march overland to the
sea, driven along by cruel Roman
soldiers. Their route passedthrough
Nazareth, where they were halted
for awhile. They were foot sore
and weary from their long tramp,
weighted down as they were with
chains, and Ben Hur was all but ex-
hausted, discouraged and disheart-
ened, and almost famished with
thirst. a beautiful.faced boy stood
in front Of the humble home Of Jo-
seph and Mary and looked compass
ionately on the line Of poor galley
slaves. He went back into the
house, got cup of cold water and
carrying il out to the line Of galley
slaves gave it to Ben Hur 70 drink.
II was simple little service of
love, but brave act, too, for those
hard Roman soldiers were not dis
posed 10 allow any kindness to be
shown to the galley slaves; but, oh,
how refreshing II was to the sad
hearted, discouraged young Ben
Hur-and perhaps sweet spiritual
blessing and comfort also went out
to him from the beautiful faced boy
that strengthened and cheered him
many a weary hour as he la
bored at the heavy oars of the gal
ley.
All who read this book see in the
sweet-faced, gracious boy Of Naza-
reth the youthful Jesus.
Only a cup Of cold water-a simple
little gift 1t is not so much the
beauty ana value of n gift, counted
by what the world calls wealth, as
the love that goes with it that makes
its worth and gives pleasure to the one
who receives 1t. Let us remember
this at this Christmas tide, as we
celebrate the nativity Of the gra-
cious, sweet-faced boy of Nazareth,
and give our little tokens of affec-
tion with free and loving hearts;
and let the spirit of Christmas Civ.
ing go with us all through the year,
and all through life. For after all,
there is nothing so sweet and rich
and beautiful AS love; for as Paul
said, Now abide Faith, Hope and
Love-these three-but the greatest
these is Love!"
And now, ! wish you each and all,
a merry, glad and happy Christmas.

What Is Seen in The Shops
BY THE SHOPPER.

A drug store on Fifteenth street is
having sale of bottles which are
labeled so that no one can possibly mis-
take their contents. They are of a
convenient and uniform size. so that
they are really on ornament to the
bathroom medicine cabinet, and con-
tribute to its orderly appearance. The
price, IS cents each, is extremely real
sonable.
Nothing contributes more to the sum-
mary appearance of the city house or
apartment than furnishings of cretonne,
which may be used to cover heavily up
holstered furniture, and as hangings at
doors and windows. A store in F street,
at Twelfth, is having special showing
of these fabrics. both the domestic and
imported lines. and much of II comes
in exclusive patterns that are not
shown by any other Washington estab-
ishment. The prices range from 12h
cents for the cheaper American quality
to A.2s and sL5O for the hand printed
block patterns in old designs.
