A Man Without Job Buys Red Cross
Christmas Seals.

An old man with his coat collar
turned up stopped at one OF the Red
Cross Christmas Seal booths yester-
day and asked where the money real
lied from the sale was to be spent.
When he was told the money would
be spent in our own state of Maryland
to fight tuberculosis, he remarked:
Then Ill take five cents worth. l
would like to buy more seals but L
have only five cents left for my rare
home. i've been out of work since
the war began, and because this mon
ey is not for the relief Of war, which
has but 80 many Of us out of work,
I'm glad to help all 1 can Ny boy
lost his job, and had to 20 to the
hospital on account Of tuberculosis,
SO that I know this Christmas seal
work Is mighty important"
A the old man faded away into
the crowd, a well dressed man bought
200 seals, remarking that he would
but one On the back OF each letter tlll
Christmas Day. Then lady asked
for 30 seals and her little Boy dug
down into his pocket, proudly dis
played dime and took 10 seals In
exchange for the precious coin.

Hunter Rescues Deer.

G. II. Yeatter, railroad fireman OF
Lewiston, acted as good samaritan
in rescuing a deer from a pack of
hounds, bathed its wounds and gave
it drink.
Hunting in Granville Gap, Yeatter
found fine buck at bay against an
embankment, fighting bloody battle
with a pack of hounds. After killing
three and wounding a fourth, the bal
ance took to their heels, leaving their
prey exhausted, blood streaming from
wounds i'm its TANKS.
Yeatter led and dragged the deer to
the creek near by, washed its wounds
and induced it to drink. The buck
cast look of gratitude upon its noble
rescuer and trotted into the forest
Further on Yeatter found 1t grazing
with a doe and two fawns, and it il
believed the little family were at
tackled by dogs and the buck, as the
natural protector gave battle with
near fatal results.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

A Word of Warming.

The merchants and business men OF
this community are respectfully mott
fed that no one has been recently
authorized by me to solicit advertise
ments for publications such as Ihe
Catholic Calendar" The Catholic An
nual" and the like, nor will any agent
of this class have my approval at any
time. The works, which have quite
lately been produced and which con-
tain a number of advertisements of
our business houses, represent actlvl-
ties in no way associated with our
parish. The solicitors, as far as
can learn, do not even claim member
ship i'm our church. 4 sincerely Trust
that, in the future such publications
will be discouraged rather than aided

tributed to them i'm the past

JAGUAR OUT FOR REVENGE
Wounded Animal Turned ON its Hunt
ers and Made Things Exciting for a
While.

There il a story of a fierce charge
Dy an lnfuriated Mexican jaguar in
an article that Mr.. Harry Il. Dunn
writes in the Outing Magazine. A
wooded hill, surrounded ON two sides
Ply water, and on the other two by
grass cropped short by the village
goats, was set on fire to drive out the
beast, which had taken refuge there.
Animals began to come from the
tangle. Parrots, disturbed from their
midday rest, flew in green and red
and yellow clouds. Monkeys fed
through the tops of the trees. Rab-
bits and rats and mice, scurried I'M
derfoot, and we saw one ocelot, a lit
tie spotted jungle cat.
Then came the jaguar. Crossing
the sloping side of the hill, the tiger
appeared to Felipe; and the fellow,
proud Of the 70 repeater I had
brought with me from Mexico City for
him, fired as the spotted apparition
crossed an open space in the tangle.
Ordinarily Felipe is a good shot; but
the rifle was new to him, and he man
aged only to put the slug in the cats
fore shoulder. The tiger screamed,
and leaped straight up into the air.
When he came down, all thought OF
flight had left him, and he headed for
Felipe and myself. The Indian began
to pump bullets at the tiger, and I re-
member noticing that the cat was
not leaping or running. but trotting
rapidly, as house cat trots unfright-
ened about its own home.
We were confronting the most dan
gerous and most powerful animal in
the new world, with the single excep-
ton of the Kadiak bean and doubt
very much if any bear in the world
could whip a maddened Mexican tiger
The jaguar's mouth was open, and
his tail streamed straight out behind;
he did not lash it from side to side, as
4 should have expected him to do.
At ten yards, Felipe had emptied his
magazine, dropped his rifle and
whipped out his machete, when i
found the tigers forehead over the
sights of the rifle As the gun cracked,
the jaguar halted, staggered forward a
short step or two, sank to his fore
shoulders and turned over, dead.

SOCIETY BEATS BUSINESS.
sale of Christmas Seals Gains MOmen-
tum.

In response to request from the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention Oh tuberculosis In
New York, the Maryland Association
for the Prevention and Relief of
tuberculosis, state agent for the Red
Cross Christmas Seals, last night
wired a report OF the progress OF the
sale of the seals in Maryland
The records of the Maryland Asso-
citation show that UP to Thursday last,
635 900 Of the seals were out On con
signment to the Associations eleven
county agents, $4,000 were in the
hands of selling agents in other coun-
ties where there is no regular rep
resentative for the entire county, and
335 100 were distributed among its zoo
agents in Baltimore City, making the
total number of seals on consignment,
99S, 800 or nearly the million the AS
ISOLATION hopes to sell altogether.
During the first week of the booth
sale, ending Thursday night, the six
booths, at the Postoffice, Custom
House, Camden Station, O'Neill's,
Woman's Exchange and the Hotel Bel
vedere, sold nearly $4,000 of the seals.
We have not had as good returns as
expected from the letter with order
blank enclosure, sent out to business
and professional men on November
23rd. said Robert C. Powell, the Elk
ecutive Secretary of the Maryland AS
ISOLATION yesterday, in discussing the
campaign. On the other hand we are
getting very gratifying results from
the letter that followed on December
Ind, 10 some 5000 Baltimore women Of
social prominence. This letter con
tanned, besides 100 seals, an order
blank which the recipient was asked
to fill out and return to us if she
wished more seals, while the reverse
side was to be filled out only if the
seals sent were not wanted and were
sent back to us. / estimate that in a
weeks time we have received payment
in this form for almost 100000 Of the
900 900 seals sent OUT many more
envelopes received from this source
and which we haven't as vet had time
to open no doubt contain payment in
some form for seals retained.
This shows that Baltimore people,
in their laudable efforts to aid the
charity work in the. city and the
Belgian Relief Fund, are not forget
ting the importance of the tuberculosis
right here at home. 1t isn't by any
means the poor who are always clos
est TO the disease. tuberculosis en-
tiers many homes where the pinch OF
poverty is never felt, SO its effects are
prettily generally understood both
from the humanitarian and the econo-
mic point of view For this reason
we anticipate that everyone will
buy a few, at least of the Red Cross
Christmas Seals and help us extend
our work the coming year."

NOT LOOKING. FOR ANY MORE
Youngsters Supply Of Oysters on Hand
More Than Sufficient to Meet the
Demand.


A youngster whose parents had
taken him for the first time from his
inland home to the seashore became
interested in oysters. One day they
were served at table, on the half-shell
and he asked:
Mother, what are those%
"Oysters, dear. Raw oysters.
Can you eat them-like that?'
oh, yes"
Can I have one?"
why, yes, if you want it."
He put the slippery thing into his
mouth, but retained it there for ex-
perimentation. The attention Of the
company meanwhile was attracted
elsewhere, and when finally the moth
err turned again to her son his race
had undergone change.
Would you like another oyster
dear?" she asked him.
For several seconds there was ne
reply. There seemed some difficulty
Of speech, and only after struggle
was he able to gurgle: III don't (glub)
want this one "-Everybody's Maya

WARS HORRIBLE SIDE.
When it il Brought Home to Average
Citizen.

You live ON a certain street, in a
certain place, and war comes. Your
ineighbor's son John enlists; and SO
does your own son and the son Of the
man two houses beyond yours. They
90 to war. Presently they bring back
your son with Lee gone or an arm.
Presently a brief Your son has
I TALENT" comes from the war Office to
your neighbor. Presently in your
newspaper there stares from a long
list of dead or wounded the maine of
the pride OF the house two doors be-
yond. You get that. 1t Is real, vital,
personal.
Or these boys march UP the street
carrying guns, arrayed for war. Some
Of the enemy appear from around a
corner. Firing begins. There is fierce
fighting. When it is over these boys
Of yours are lying in the road or in
the adjoining field, some dead, some
wounded-and you know what that
means.
From hundreds of other streets like
yours hundreds Of sons of other moth
ers march away. They 60 to battle.
J You read uncomprehendingly in the
official dispatches that the cented adj
vanced or the left wing was repulsed.
You read that there was a sharp en-
gagement at some place, daring as
sault at another; that the troops are
intrenched that the great thanking
movement has succeeded or has failed
You read these things, and then what
Nothing. 1t means little.
The battle line is 200 miles long;
but on every foot of it there is the
son John Of Somebody's neighbor, the
husband Of the woman up the street,
the child of some mother-millions of
them; and they are being wounded
and killed because it is their part to
be wounded and killed in order that a
certain contention may prevail over a
certain other contention-both of
which will seem absurd in few years
or that certain ambition may sur
mount certain other ambition, Meth
er of which ambitions will be reck-
Oned, i'm the long run, as worthy Of
civilized consideration. We have re
verted to the primitive. The humane
in Us has been subjugated by the ne
cessities of the state.-Samuel G..
