NCLE SANS benevolence has
never been questioned. No
matter how great the emer-
w gency, he has always risen to
the occasion and acquitted himself
nobiy. Whether humanity at home or
abroad has been afflicted he has been
the first to proffer his services and
open wide his purse, as we'll as to send
some cheering message that, riftlike.
pierces the clouds Of gloom and admits
some little ray OF sunshine
The Christmas season so rapidly ap-
preaching will furnish a glaring in
stance of Uncle Sans prodigality. In
fact Il will be his biggest Christmas,
for where he has been denied the op-
portunity to intervene between the
warning nations and breathe that most
comforting Of all benedictions, Peace
on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," he
VIII at least have done all IN his power
to supply that Christmas cheer which
these same bellicose powers are un-
able to offer their subjects. All that
spontaneously generous nation could
do has been and is being done for
stricken Europe. Only those who have
seen the arduous labor Of the noble
band OF women who constituted them
selves into a committee to superintend
this work can realize what a hercu-
lean task has been accomplished. But
they, at least. have the satisfaction Of
knowing that It was a task we'll done
and already several big steamships. two
Of Uncle Sans war vessels among them
are rapidly discharging their cargoes
OF Christmas cheer which was sent
across the ocean in ample time to be
distributed among those who have
been so ruthlessly denuded of all that
makes life really worth while by this
monster World War.
Gifts Are Nation Wide.
When the far-reaching effects of
the war were first realized men and
women in all parts of this country
set to work to start funds of various
sorts to relieve the suffering abroad.

what Expressman Finnigan had done
when confronted with like situa-

the least trace OF him the fourth had
happened. And from then on II was
