A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

Y DREAMED dream one Christmas
eve.
The strangest one. you may believe.
II Twas OF a wOI ld diViney fair
Beyond the blue. far Off somewhere
There grief and tears were all unknown
And love supreme reigned on the throne
All. such a Joyful. gladstone world
Where sorrow's bolts were never hurled
Here faces Eaunt with poverty
Derde the rich In mockery
All equal there were each TO each,
The best within a pauper's reach.
No surging, crushed downtrodden masses:
No proud. elite or clan made classes;
No seasoned toys for iust few
In this fair realm beyond the blue;
No stalking want with plteous voice;
No poor To feed All had their choice
OF that which seemeth Just and good
All things were rightly understood
No broken hearts or racking pain:
No avaricious. blood bought gain:
No grasplng grinding. selfish greed
That others welfare doth not heed
All things were perfect rs the love
That ruled his spOtrss world above
Were this sad world like to my dream
And love ruled ail It's right supreme.
All. wh,ie the chance fur kindly de,is2
Were there no popr tu voice their u'-rds
Were such a state Subiimely true.
Oh. where the gupl that we might d0y
We're there nu face dewed with tea'1.
Where. then. the Suiucc Uf the ycurs2
IL this world knew uN grirr no care.
Could we our brothers. burden share?
All love wotild lnsc much ~ It's worth
Were there no chariiv ON earth
Perhaps It's better as II T.
Than live IN realms OF perfect bliss.
For out OF evil cometh good
When God II rightly understood
And since We I've mid toll and care
And not IN halcynn dreams somewhere
Upllft and help thy fellow man
And do the greatest good you can
To make this world like that above.
Controlled and swayed by Christly love

sheets Of sketehing paFer, cut
into some neat design and paste
on each leaf the floral symbols
Of each month. You can cut the
flowers from any seed catalogue.
The calendar leaf should be
tastefulIy placed.
A gift quickly made is a dec

PiCketS.

HOPEDALE, Mass, April 24.-The
first fatality in connection with the
strike at the plant of the Draper Com

day. when an unidentified striker was
shot ard killed in a clash between the
police and pickets on the outskirts Of
the town. The firing was general on
both sides for few minutes but no
other person was struck.
A band Of strike pickets had lined up
on the road near the Draper mills, and
was intercepting employees when the
police appeared on the scene. The pick
cts were ordered to dispense, and
answered with volley Of stones Fir
ing followed. each side claiming after
ward that the other started it, On the
first volley an unidentified workman was
shot through the neck. He died within
a few minutes. The pickets then with
drew.
The clash was followed by a doubling
of the police, which is patrolling the
vicinity in automobiles and promptly

COMMITTEE FAVORABLE
TO EQUAL SUFFRAGE
: Expected to Approve Reso|u-
ton Proposing Constitu-
tionai Amendment.

That the Senate committee on woman
suffrage will report favorably to the
Senate a resolution proposing a consti-
tutional amendment for woman suffrage
in the United States at the present ses-
sion of Congress was confidently pre-
dicted by members of the committee to-
day. The membership OF the committee
is believed to be overwhelmingly in favor
OF woman suffrage.
But while the committee may report a
resolution for woman suffrage consti-
tutional amendment 1t does not follow
by any means that such a resolution will
be passed by the Senate, or that it could
receive favorable action in the House.
There are many members of Congress
who believe that the matter sould be left
10 the states to settle individually. They
do not believe that 1T is the business OF
the federal government TO make provi-
sion as to who shall compose the electo-
rate of the various states but believe
that this should be decided by the states
themselves.

WOULD USE AEROPLANE
TO WAR ON D|R|C|BLES
Col. Cody, Aeronaut, Proposes
Plan of ''Fishing for
the Enemy"
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, April II. 1913
Col. Cody has revealed his plan fol-
combating and destroying dirigibles OF
the Zeppelin type, declaring his ability
to render them source Of danger to
those who man them rather than to
others.
In an interview with a representative
of the Daily Chronicle he said: 81 call
my method fishing for the enemy and
that is really what it is like. Ny device
Is based on the knowledge that aero
planes can fly faster and higher than any
Zeppelin, and the process has been al
ready tested and found practicable and
efficient.
Method Of Attack.
my plan is to fly up until my machine
is one or two thousand feet above the
dirigibles and then to fish for them with
long. thin steel hawser, at the end of
which I propose to have a bomb of my
own invention. That bomb will be of
very high power and easily exploded. In
fact, the least touch will fire it, and it
will shoot flames in six directions at once.
If the drag misses it's mark, all / have
to do is to wheel round and try again.
Following after the spurts Of flame
there will issue from my bombs pieces of
lighted tow or other material, soaked in
some highly infiammable spirit, which
will inevitably fire any portion of the
structure of the dirigible that may have
escaped the first effects of the explosion.
THE vessel would be absolutely at the
mercy of the man in the aeroplane sail
ing a thousand feet above it. He could
trail his bomb backward and forward
to any point. The enemy meanwhile
would have nothing to aim at with their
guns except the quickly moving plane.
and would have to fire upward. have
seen experiments in firing from dirigibles.
and l am quite sure their work would be
practically useless.
Suppose a continental enemy has de-
termined to attack us with feet of dir
fgibles, she will have to employ vessels
that can keep flying for long periods All
that we require to destroy them is a
fleet Of aeroplanes that will keep Tying
