How little American flags pinned

Americans in Hamburg of kindly
treatment at the hands of every
German was told in a report from
Consul General Henry H. Morgan,
made public yesterday by the state

1t gave a graphic description of
the trying days at the outbreak OF
war, when the consulate general
was filled with frantic men and
hysterical women clamoring for
means to get home.

the United States can rest assured
that no harm will come to them,
and, indeed, it would be hard 10
imagine from the peaceful aspect
of the city that the whole country
was aflame.
Some embarrassment was caus-
ed at first by the refusal of the
banks to honor Americans letters
of credit issued by well-known
American banks, but subsequently
money was offered me in any
amount to relieve the situation. In
cidents were brought to my atten-
ton when American bank notes
were changed into German curren-
cy at so cents on the dollar, but
these incidents were very rare.

I took a little walk in funny little
town
Where all the little children never
made their mothers frown,
And they seemed to have such fur
and they seemed to be so sweet
I said they surely live all on Good Be
havior street
It seemed when bedtime came they
were always on the dot,
And never whined and cried that they
oughtn't to or not;
And when their mothers called in the
morning down their feet
Came dancing life tune out Of Good
Behavior street.
never saw a town that was quite SO
clean and neat,
Where every little child lived on Good
Behavior street,
And / guess never will, less the

Wave a wand and put touch of their

DIFFICULTIES OF ENGLISH.

When the English tongue we speak,
Why does break not rhine with freak
Will you tell me why it's true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of a verse
Cannot cap (rime) his horse with
worse?
Beard sounds not the same as heard;
Cord is different from word;
Cow is COW, but low is low;
Shoe is never rimed with foe.
Think of hose and dose and lose,
And Of goose and yet of choose,
Think of comb and tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll, and home and some.
And since pay is rimed with say,
Why not paid with said, I pray?
We have blood and food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done and gone and lone?
Is there any reason known?
In every truth, it seems to me
Our sounds and letters disagree.

BETHLEHEM OF 1918.
The Holy Land Community Much the
Same as 1900 Years Ago.

Even today, very much as at the
time of the Saviours birth, the keep
ers of the f1ocks of sheep and goats
sit silently and somnolently about in
the fields, much as they were doing
when, more than 1900 years ago, the
heavenly messengers appeared to an
nounce to them the fact and the place
of the birth of the Saviour and the
star appeared bright in the heavens to
guide the Magi to the sacred spot
Neither place nor people have un-
dergone any startling change since
the Virgin Mary laid the Infant Jesus
to rest in the manger in the stable in
which, owing to the overcrowded con-
dition of the khan and rural inn, they
had been compelled to find lodging.
The conditions under which they were
forced to content themselves with
such meager accommodations are re-
peated almost each year, with the re-
turn of the Christmas season.
That the great convent of the Ma
tivity and other religious edifices,
built to commemorate the commence
ment, in this humble little place, of
the earthly life of the Son of God, had
not at the time been erected, we need
hardly state, but the style of buildings
has changed but little since the Sa-
viour's time, and in all probability
some of the substantial stone struc-
lures that line it's narrow, hilly thor

whole scene too late to give any as
sistance.
In the terrible anxiety and the sud
den relief over the rescue of her dar.
lings she turned strangely dizzy and
went down in a crumpled heap on the
grass. 1t was thus Jerry found her
when his strength, which somehow left
him for a moment, came back and he
pulled the frightened twins up the
bank
BY that time Ned and Tom and
Rob were there, but it was Jerry who
said authoritatively:
Med, take these kids home and
stay with EN- till somebody comes.
Tom, get that empty milk bottle in
the wagon, fill it with water at the
horses trough and bring it here
Then there were crowd Of people
suddenly come from out of the every.
where and Jerry wondered why they
were all making such fuss over him
and not over the babies mother, who
was now opening her eyes as Tom
awkwardly poured water on her head
and face.
When the medal for distinguished
heroism in life-saving was received in
Carterville and publicly presented to
Jerry Thomas there were none who
cheered more heartily than Ned, Tom
and Bob, and to the lasting credit Of
the whole school, through their prin
cipal, Professor Powers, they ex
pressed their pride in the bravery oil
their companion who was not afraid
to face death for his fellow-beings.
Jerry is away at business college
now, having finished his course at Car
terville. The grocer, whose little CIR
grandchildren he saved, has no sor
of his own and he is going to want g
partner some day, so he and the
twins father determined Jerry should
be equipped for the place.
Mothers tell the story to their chill
dren and CAS- brave as Jerry Thomas
is a saying often heard in Carterville
for the cheap show of courage SO otter
displayed while real bravery in the
face of real danger for worthwhile
objects excites the lasting respect Of
everyone.
Jerry's companions now know thai
he is and always will be sensitive tc
certain distasteful experiences, but
that the finer, nobler courage of real
manhood belongs to Jerry Thomas
nevertheless.

oughfares today were already stand
ing there at the commencement of the
Christian era, while the general as
pect of the city has, in all likelihood,
not undergone any very great change.
The Bethlehem of today may be
larger, and may contain perhaps a
few buildings of more modern con-
struction than at the time of the birth
of the Saviour, but to all intents and
purposes it is the Bethlehem of Jesus
infancy. 1t requires no great stretch
Of the imagination to people it again

years ago, while the associations i'm

HOW LITTLE 1T COSTS.

How little it costs, if we give it q
thought,
To make happy some heart each
day!
Just one kind word or a tender smile
AS we go on our daily way.
Perchance look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbours face
And the press of a hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; another goes
A-weary in the shade;
One treads path that is fair and
smooth,
Another must pray for aid.
1t costs so little! I wonder why
We give it so little thought;
A smile-kind wordsa glance &
touch!
What magic with them is wrought!
