The first really adequate animated
scenes showing the magnitude and eff
c;ency Of "0ur navy will be presented
by Lyman II. Howe at the opera house
tonight. Believing that the country at
large should become more familiar with
this important phase of our national
life and knowing the great popularity
and prestige of Mr.. Howe's travel festi-
val, the secretary of the navy granted
permission exclusively to Mr.. Howe's
photographers to accompany him on the

est naval review in American history.
Every facility was granted them to in
sure a most graphic and impressive pro

nations have government and exhibitor
worked together so effectively to show
a country's armada to its citizens.

weary "But she forgot all her trouble
in the Joy of seeing the mother and
child" says Mr.. Jackson. "She stood
entranced by the sight. She saw the rich
gifts the wise men had brought She
saw the humber gifts Of the shepherds,
the loaf of barley bread, the homemade
cheese, the fleece of lamb. white and
soft, fit to wrap around a baby's limbs,
this cold winter night. She was seized
by childhood's native spirit of generosity.
She, too, must give of her best. The
best she ever had to give was flowers.
But there are no flowers now, for it is
winter, nor has she farthing of money
with which to buy anything else She

Her tears brought an instant response
from the guardian angel Gabriel, who
took her by the hand and touched the
ground with his stick, when, lo rich
flowers spring up on every side. Yes,
there really are Christmas roses. They
bloom in mid winter under blanket of
snow, and their petals never wither. ID

A Cycling Mouse.


A boy leaving town last summer left
his bicycle suspended from the joists
in the basement of his home by means
OF ropes in order to remove the weight
Of the machine from the tires. On his
return he went into the basement and
was greatly surprised to see the front
wheel Of the machine rapidly revolv-
ing. He stared spellbound at it for
some minutes, unable to discover any
cause for the motion
But as his eyes became accustomed
to the dim light he observed a small
dark object remaining always at the
highest point of the wheel. and at last
made Ii out to be a mouse running on
the outside of the tire. The weight of
the animal caused the wheel to turn.
and the mouse was forced to travel
continually upward to avoid being
thrown II knew not where When the
wheel had been stopped and the little
creature lay exhausted on the floor,
the young man looked at the cyclone
ter and found that 1t had registered
eighteen miles.
This occurrence was amply substan-
tiated by witnesses. The cyclometer
had been set at zero when he left the
city. and the bicycle had not been
tempered with during the summer
Brooklyn Eagle.

THE ONLY WAY

just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is guestiG.: that con-
Germs both young and old. Weak kid
neys neglected in childhood lead to life
long suffering. People of advanced
years, with less vitality, suffer doubly.
In youth or age, languor, baekache,
urinary irregularity, dizziness and ner-
vousness make life a burden.
There is one remedy that acts di-
rectly on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney
Pills owe their world wide fame to the
fact that they have cured thousands OF

permanently. Follow the example OF

About Cleanliness,

The Importance of cleanliness may
not at first appear to the average boy,
but at this season of the year. when be
likes to play out in the open air and
generally gets his clothes soiled, does
he ever brush them off or try to re-
pair the damage which has been done?
Usually not. The first essential is to
have clean hands and face. Nothing
is SO discouraging to 'pssoy's mother as
dirty face in spite all she has said.
Some boys seem afraid of water, but
that is probably because they do not
understand. Cleanliness should always
be thought of, even though 1t means
application of water frequently

FOR THE CHILDREN
Fellow Travellers.

I Travelled on the train one day.
Across the way there sat
A dainty little midget
With pretty fluffy hat.
Her cheeks were plump and rosy.
And her eyes were very blue,
And as for her behavior,
1t was good enough for two.
1.-THE lady" wanted cookies; then
She had to have drink.
She didn't give the passengers
A minutes time to think
While little Rosy Cheeks just sat
And smiled across at us
"The lady" squirmed and wriggle
round
And made a constant fuss.
In fact, you'll be surprised to hear,
As / was then to see,
How far superior a child
Can to her elders be.
1.-THE lady" who was with her
In whining tones was heard,
But did not hear Miss Midget
Speak a single fretful word.
So next time / go travelling,
AS happen soon | may,
i hope that only one Of them
VIII be aboard that day.
And If fairy asks me which
I'll tell the little elf
I much prefer Louise's doll
To Miss Louise herself
