"IIow did the Red Cross Christmas
Seal originated" is a question that is
being asked by many during this hol-
iday season when millions of these
siickers are being sold all over the
United States. To Jacob Riis, the
well-known social worker of New
York, and to Miss Emily p. Bissell,
the energetic secretary of the Dofa-
Red Cross, Jointly belong the
honor of originating II American
Red Cross Christmas Seal. In 1909
| Mr.. Riis' interest was aroused by the
receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer,
looking stamp in the Outlook, and
suggested some possible uses for it
in this country. Miss Bissell at once
saw an opportunity here and prepared
a stamp, from the sale Of which her
society realized $4,000 for tuberculos-
is work. So impressed. was she with
this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1898 on, a national basis. With
very little organization and with hard
ly any attempt at careful advertising,
the sale that year brought in, never

thorough organization, the sale was
increased to $3.50 goo, and in 1910 to
nearly 100000. Last year the sale

BULL MOOSE DEFINITIONS

The Rev. William Long, the Con
necticut minister, who was thrust into
the nature fakirs class by Theodore
Roosevelt some few years ago, has
been digging in some of Author Roose-
velt's books to discover how Hunter
Roosevelt was impressed by the Bull
Moose when he made that animal s
habitat his own.
In view of the fact that Candidate
Roosevelt has taken the name Bull
Moose as the label of his new party,
just what Mr.. Roosevelt thinks of the
bull moose is interesting. Even if the
comparison is painful and Mr.. Roose-
welt will undoubtedly declare it "od-
GUS lit must stand, for the colonel's
own remarks should certainly be the
final word.
In "The Wilderness Hunter" Mr..
Roosevelt writes:
THE bull moose lives on the public
domain and is very wasteful feeder,
He is of wandering and tIighty
disposition. His flesh, moreover. is
coarse and stringy his hide is thick.
He frequently shows a clumsy slow
ness Of apprehension which amounts
to downright stupidity.
Another noticeable characteristic
OF the bull moose is his inordinate and
Interchangeable selhshness. Whether
roaming the woods in solitude or tear
ing up the earth. or coming headlonp
to the call, he is thinking first lasi
and all the time OF the safety of his
own skin and fullness of his own stom.
ach.
Further indications of the bulls es-
sentlal seltshness are found in his
frequent .abuse and browbeating of all
other moose that are smaller than him.
self. He cannot tolerate rival, but
flies into a jealous rage at the fret
suggestion that there is any other bull
moose in the universe.
Not such horribly incorrect detini.
