Outspoken Youth.

On recent railway trip boy OF per-
haps Seven years and his mother occu-'
pied the seat directly in front OF me. The
boy kept up running tire OF questions
as to the name OF the next station. The
mother was either unfamiliar with the
name or too indifferent 10 be accurate.
When the station was reached the boy
demanded the name and on receiving the
correct answer said: "You told me lie
before" A similar conversation was
several times repeater, the boy each time
saying, That's another lie, and finally
he shouted: you've told me lies ever
sifce we started" A man seated near,
becoming exaSperated, leaned toward
the boy and in threatening tone said:
Young man, il you don't keep still a
while will throw you out OF the win
dow" and the boy, boldly facing the
man, said !:
"And that's another lie !"

were held; the result was the first cru
sade. Soon 5000, 900 soldiers were in
motion toward Jerusalem, commanded by
Godfrey de Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine,
Hugh the Great, the Duke of Normandy.
Count Robert of Flanders and Vohemond,
under whom was Tancred.
Battles on the way and never-ceasing
ravages of disease reduced the ranks OF
the crusaders till only fraction OF The
first force remained. On the 18th Of June,
ll0S, the Christians defeated an army of
100000 Mohammedans ard on July Is,
ll09, the final battle fought in Jerusalem
and raging all around the sacred tomb,
saw the object of the crusade successful,
and Christ's last resting place once more
restored to Christian control.
Not for long was it to remain thus,
For fifty years the newly formed Chris
tian government in charge Of Godfrey de
Bouillon suffered under repeated attacks
of Egypt and Syria, until finally it was
forced to appeal for help to Europe, which
resulted in the second crusade.
Victory after victory perched on the
banner of the Saracens who, under the
great Saladin, defeated the Christians in
battle of frightful carnage.
On that day. the 9th of July, 1887, the
cross was lost to the Christians, and
though in subsequent struggles the tomb
was retaken the cross has never been re-
covered.
Frederick Barbarossa, Philip II Of
France and Richard the Lion Hearted Of
England headed another effort, but it fail
ed.
Later Emperor Henry ~ made fresh
effort to take back the tomb, and it sue
ceeded, but on his death in | 1877 tte-Turks
again came into control.
Innocent Ill proclaimed the crusade
that again brought strife to the sacred
tomb.
Fifty thousand children from France
and Germany, fired with religious zeal,
made an attempt in 1912, but all were lost
by shipwreck or sold into slavery.
Frederick II gained possession of Jeru-
salem in 1928, and through truce kept
il in peace for ten years.
Several other attempts to hold the city
were unsuccessful, and finally in 1891 the
sultan took possession OF Acre and the
Christians were finally driven out OF
Syria.
Even the end of thew between the
infidelS and the Christians did not bring
peace, for the Saracen control was dis
puted by other heather nations. The
Mamelukes took the city in 1882. The
Turks recovered it in 1917 by the valor of
Sultan Selim. The son OF this leader,
Soliman, built the wall that now sur
rounds the city.
AT last, being unable TO occupy the
home Of the scenes OF the Holy Passion,
the Christian nations made an agreement
with the sultan by which they ceded his
right to control, but got in return permis-
sion to worship there and to have the
sacred basilica in charge OF Christian
priests.
But even this has not brought peace to
the tomb, and 1912 still finds strife and
hatred where only love and worship
should be.

The New Year.

Once again upon the hghroad
OF the way from year TO year.
Down the dim untraveled silence
OF the coming days We peer.
And we ask. What great fruition.
What new hopes, new joys be ours
In the pathway OF the new year2
Does il lead past thorns or flowers 2
But unanswered lies each question
Unwrit scrolls we may not know;
And we turn for clearer vision
To the year beneath the snow.
Joys il held and dark hours, sorrows:
But each midnight turned to day
And kindly unseen guidance
Led us safely all the way.
And remembering its blessings.
May we not. o friend OF mine,
Meet the new year-glad. expectant
Confident OF love divine2
True to faith. high hope and courage,
Born Of ways so lately trod
Let us say our happy new year
And fulfiIment leave with God.

An Outdoor Prison.

Pennsylvania is preparing to embark
on an important advance in prison meth
DDS. Something over 5000 acres of land
are to be acquired for prison purposes,
Thereon the necessary buildings will be
erected. Just now how much of the reg
ulation prison character these will have
is not stated. But the important thing is
that the prisoners are to be given out
door employment. They are 10 be turn
ed into farmers and foresterS, horticultur-
lists, roadbuilders and the like. They are
expected to raise enough produce 10
maintain themselves. They are to carry
on experiments in the important branch
eS of forestry and orcharding. They are
to build good roads through the State
property, quarrying the material on the
estate. In their spare time they may even
become sportSmen, for there are good
trout streams running through the prop
erty.
This plan has been tried elsewhere.
though we doubt if anything on quite so
large scale has hitherto been attempted.
The encouraging thing about il is that
where it has oeen tried il has proved sue
ceSSfuI. The authorities have found that
il is not necessary TO maintain great ap-
pearance OF prison life. The men who
are sent to Institutions OF that nature have
been content to work out their punish
ment and in many cases it is declared to
have been the making OF new men.

ANNOUNCEMENT is BRIEF
Colonel Roosevelt Says He VIII Take
Nomination and Stay in Race

Roosevelt's reply to the letter OF
seven Republican governors asking
him to stand for nomination.
The eagerly awaited reply was Civ
en- out at Colonel Roosevelt's offices
here during his absence on a trip to
Boston. 1t was Unexpectedly brief,
but definite. 1t follows:
New York.-Gentlemen / deeply
appreciate your letter, and l realize
to the full the heavy responsibility
1T puts upon me, expressing, as 1t
does, the carefully considered convic-
tons Of the men elected by popular
vote to stand as the heads of govern
ment in their several states.
81 absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as a whole.
Il will accept the nomination for
president if 1t is rendered me, and
will adhere to this decision until the
convention has expressed its prefer
ence.
zone of the chief principles for
which l have stood and for which l
now stand, and which have always
endeavored and always shall endeav-
or to reduce to action, is the genu-
inc rule of the people, and therefore
l hope that so far as possible the
people may be given the chance
through direct primaries to express
their preference as to who shall be
the nominee of the Republican presi-
Dental convention.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Washington.-Col. Theodore Roose-
velt's announcement for the presi-
dency has split the Republican party
beyond all hope of mending before
the election in November next. This
is the unanimous opinion of Demo
cratic senators and members Of con-
gress. The split, they believe, is in
policies as well as candidates. Pri-
vately majority Of the Republicans
take exactly the same view. The
great issue of the Republican pre-
convention campaign has been made
by Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is the anti-third
term rule.
