Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great was "a freema-
son. He joined the order in May, 1888,
very much against the wishes of his
father, Frederick William, who, it
seems, had no love for the craft. When
Frederick William died, in May. 174O,
Frederick celebrated his freedom by
holding great Masonic meeting. The
young king appears to have taken
great interest in the order, and the
stimulus given Freemasonry by the
great sovereign and soldier is still felt
by the order throughout the Germanic
countries.

The young mother had left the six
months-old baby only a few minutes,
but upon going back to it discovered
quite large lump over one eye. Dis

questioned him.
Henry, did you hurt the baby's

SMACKS OF A DECKER.

The open letter Of State Senator
Wallace Crossley to Judge Nick Brad
ley, offering terms for withdrawal
from the race for Democratic Con-
gressional nominee of this district,
whereby he is to benefit in the future,
is about as cold blooded a deal in
politics as has been made through the
public prints in our memory.
Mr.. Crossley's first proposition is
that he and Bradley both retire and
leave the field to Congressman Dick
inson and Mr.. Silvers, and adds
"There could then be square toed
fight between Dickinson and anti
Dickinson forces, such as has been
demanded all over the district.
The only demand that the Demo-
Gratis of this district have heard for
Mr.. Dickinson's retirement comes
from the gentlemen who aspire to
succeed him, and the disappointed
applicants for post offices.
Mr.. Crossley's second proposal is
that he or Bradley retire, the one who
remains in the race to pledge himself
if unsuccessful not to become candi-
date in 1916 against the one who
steps aside in the present campaign.
To the latter proposition Judge Brad
ley agrees in letter published in the
Warrensburg Star-Journal.
The right Of any gentleman to as
pire to Congressional honors is con-
coded without question, but he should
run "a Bis merits and not on the de-
m1l,ds Of a disappointed, disgruntled
element to defeat the incumbent be-
cause they can't control him or enter
into an unholy alliance whereby the
support Of aspiring gentlemen are to
Be obtained by future concessions.

and certainly it was never before

WORLDS MOST SACRED SPOT
Manager in Church of the Nativity at
Bethlehem Where Christ Is Said
to Have Been Born.

What may perhaps be described as
the most sacred spot on earth is the
grotto or manger in the Church of
the Nativity at Bethlehem. This
small underground chamber, reached
from the church above by flight OF
steps. is said to be the site of the
actual manager where Christ was born,
and silver star, let into the floor
underneath the altar, is alleged to be
the exact spot of the Nativity. Above
the star hang fifteen lamps. which
have continually illuminated the lit
tie chapel for several hundred years.
The altar is adorned with most
elaborate embroideries, the work Of
royal princesses, while from the cell
Ing hang number of brass lamps
and few paintings. There has. of
course, been no little controversy as
to whether this is the actual site OF
the original manger. To begin with.
y IS underground, and many people
wonder how it could have been used
by cattle and horses. Here, however.
we have to remember that in the
East donkeys and mules often dwell
IN underground stables, and the stair
case would presents no difficulty to
the agile native cattle of Palestine.
no less an authority than Colonel
Conder has declared that the rude
grotto with its rocky manager may be
accepted even by the most skepticaI
of modern explorers"

| Tom at that moment would have re-
paid any sacrifice-yes, even the whole
Of the corner paper privilege. Pete's
eyes glistened with teardrops as he
turned to the doctor.
Go ahead, doc. Do anything you
want, only don't hurt me too much.
Say, amt Tom all right"
You bet he is,' the doctor replied,
and motioned the cripple to the inner
Office.
Tom was busy as he could be on
Christmas eve and it was we'll after
midnight when he crawled into his lit
tie bed, tired and lonely. for Pete had
gone to the hospital three days be-
fore. He knew away down deep in his
heart that it would do no good to hang
up his stocking, but hope dies hard
in the young and the stocking was
pinned to the side of the chair.
The sun had shone for an hour or
more when Tom awoke and realized
that it was Christmas day. He hardly
dared to glance at the stocking but
summoned up courage and looked at
the chair where it hung. The stock
ing was empty. Tom reached over
and felt it to make sure and then
crawled back under the bedclothes.
For the first time in his life the rough.
ness Of the world had overcome him
and, In spite Of all the strength he
could muster, the great hot tears
crowded into his eyes and flowed down
his cheeks. He buried his face in the
pillow and cried great big soulful
cry.
