James Stephens may raise the roof

nanny who doesn't mind. Stephens
owns several houses in this city. A
number of his tenants were far in
arrears and refused to vacate. Having
had lots of experience with both car
penters and courts, Stephens chose the
former and had them remove the roofs
of some of the houses in the hope of
causing the tardy tenants to vacate.

out her Peoples Army" if necessary,
for their protection.
There was a no rent strike in
Chicago a couple of years ago, you

There was only one eviction, and

So Ricky told how she had come
down that morning with a funny tired

SMILED bit, just because she was
crying. Then there was all the jolly
fun that goes with a tree.
But soon they took her away. She
was so tired that she fell asleep right
after they put her back in bed. She
dreamed that she saw flock of sheep
with their shepherds on great plain
Suddenly there was great light from
above and she seemed to hear angels
singing.
She awoke. The singing did not
stop. She arose and opened the win

There, in the moonlight under her
window stood her Choir Brothers with
lighted candles, like the Christmas
carol singers of Old England. They
were singing this hymn:
"Hark. the Herald Angels sing.
When the verse was finished the
Choir Sister leaned out and called
down to them:
Brothers, you have made me love
God whole lot more. A merry

very hymn the boys had been singing
