can have fun in it before Binkie ever

They got out the hammock and tried
to put it up. There did not seem to be
any place to fasten it, after all But
Mrs. Tabby came to the rescue, and
with the aid of a hammer and some
nails fastened it up so that it could not
come down.

she said. BE careful and not let three

The Christmas Tree
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Anthnr Of AT Good old siwanh.n

-HE Christmas tree is the largest
indoor plant. If properly raised
4 in a stout drygoods box it often
attains a height of 20 feet and an age of
several days.
The Christmas tree looks like a pine
but it isn't. 1t is a fruit tree and pro
duces the most valuable crops known.
A single tree has been known to bear
at one time two bushels OF popcorn,
peck of apples, five pounds of candles,
nine large dolls, a half dozen hobby
horses and a wagon load of miscella-
neOus plumber. Harvesting the Christ
mas tree is the favOrite of all chill
drens games and paying for the seed
is the principal January job.
The Christmas tree grows luXurl-
antly in any land which has church
bell. Millions of them bloom and Tlpen
their crops each Christmas eve IN TINS
country. 1t takes nature about ten
years to bring a Christmas tree TO the
bearing age, but man can snake a crop
off of it in Is minutes and chop II up
for stove wood aftterward in Is more.
A whole lot of our disappearing forests
have disappeared into the happy homes
of the nation about Christmas time, but
nobody dares to talk conservation when
ten million children are shrieking for
JOY.
The Christmas tree viii grow in any
land, but the conditions have to be
just right It will flourish in desert
or a flood; on a mountain top above
the timber line or in a cellar where
even the rats are underfed, but it re-
quires a very particular atmosphere.
Selffshness is very hard on Christmas
trees. They wither under it like dan
delions under a load Of salt If hus-
band and father is too lazy to exert
himself for others now and then, or
mother is too deeply immersed in the
study Of compound bridge to devote a
few days a year to Improbable toll for
someone else also, the Christmas tree
stands very little show. Hatred and
malice and a lack of imagination are
also very hard upon this peculiar tree.
1t may be tended by an expert for

Very few FL PasOans know that
within an easy days ride by automO-
bile, is one of the most beautiful scenic
spots in the western country" said
Roy D. Barnum. The spot is evident
ly the crater of an extinct volcano and
it lies some 90 or 35 miles from FL
Paso. To reach it you take the Border
land route to Lanark station. You
then turn to your left, taking road
that is not frequently used and which
might easily be overlooked. Follow
ing this road for about 10 miles, you
can drive right up to the rim. The
crater is between 1000 and 1900 feet
deep and the walls are made up of
great blocks of lava forming crags
that are very rugged and picturesque.
There is but one known trail leading
to the bottom. This Is on the farther
side The road was formerly an indian
trail At the bottom is ranch house.
It is reported that many bobcats and
coyotes are found there, as well as
birds"

~HE Tabby children always rose
early in the mornings, but there
4 were reasons. They very rarely
stayed in bed. If one got up, the whole
lot Of them usually rolled out, too
You see, there were three kitty boys,
and just a few pair of trousers to go
around. The kitties who got up late
had to take the aprons. and this they
did not like at all.
Sometimes, when wash day came
around, there would be only one pair
of trousers, and then there was 4 reg
uIar scrap to see who would get up first
and get them on.
one morning the sun had barely
peeked in the windows and touched
the beds when Binkie Tabby jumped
out with bound and made dash
for the one pair Of trousers that were
to be had that week.
AS soon as they were safe on him,
he gave yell that walked the other
kitty boys, but although they rolled
out like so many pun balls, and
scratched and clawed around with their
eyes half open, Btnkie had on the
trousers and they had to take the
aprons.

as they pulled on their aprons, we
don't need you anyhow: we can play by

That did not sound very brotherly,
but it was true that Binl1ie had taken
them unfairly. He had worn them for
three days in succession, and it was
time for Tom or Ted to have a turn at
them.
All that day the two kitty boys in
the aprons avoided Binkie, and al
though he tagged after them every
where they went. they did not pay the
slightest bit Of attention to him.
IF he follows US long enough" said
Tom, ''he will get himself into trouble"

ester and grow with phenomenal
rapidity, but unless it can get into
home full of joy and generosity and
painstaking thoughtfulness it simply
declines to bloom. You can heap gold
coins about a Christmas tree until it's
branches are hidden, but it will remain
bare and detected until some little child
comes along and sets all the atmos-
phere in that house aquiver with emo

bank accounts or temples of piety
Christmas trees cost a great deal to
bring to perfection and are not finan-
ciaIly a profitable investment We
Americans blow in millions on them
each year which would otherwise bring

THE SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
THE EXEMPTION ACT OF
TRUST LEGISLATION.

TRUST LEGISLATION.
The International Harvester Co.,
of America, asked the United States
Supreme Court, which held the Har-
weston company violated the anti
trust law of that state. The contest
ed point was that the law in question
arbitrarily discriminates between
persons making or selling products
and commodities and persons selling
labor and service Of all kinds"
The United States Supreme Court
sustained the Missouri Law, and
held that legislation had the right
to make distinctions between organi-
cations for trade and organizations
for workers.
This decision is one of far-reach-
ing Importance to the trade-union
movement in its campaign for ex-
emption from trust classification; 1t
silences the claims of those who hold
that If Congress passes the Clayton
antitrust bill with its labor exemp-
ton clause, which recently passed
the House by an unanimous vote,
such legislation will tend to be
"class legislation"
The decision is of peculiar inter-
est in that the opinion was agreed
to by the entire bench.

Speaking of the growth of the Irish
trade and Irish merchants one of the
managers spoke of the ability of the

1rishmen are the greatest natural
statesmen in the world, because they
apply to their business that touch
of lightness and humor which pre-
vents business being dull. There
can be no doubt of the future of
Irish industries if only they are prop
erly and widely advertised. You
see countries like Germany and Italy
and others. taking advantage of the
attractive Irish materials by making
imitation articles for sale. There is
plenty of room to develop and extend
your industries in Ireland. At pres
ent you have five or six world-fam-
GUS firms. like Guinness and Jacobs,
and Harland and Wolff, but there is
no reason why you should not have
very many more. and this Exhibit
hopes to bring others out before the

INCREASING CATHOLIC
BIRTHRATE,

In connection with the theory
which is being carried on by a COM
mission into the decline of the birth
rate in Germany, it is interesting to
note that two writer's who have in
dependently considered the question
so far as Prussia is concerned from
the standpoint of the UNCONVENTIONAL
comparison have come to one and the
same conclusion. The writer's in
question are Pastor Forberger, of
Dresden, who has put forward his
views in pamphlet, and Herr E.
truth, who has written an article in
the Christliche Freiheit. AS result
of an investigation based on official
statistics, both these writer's state
that the population of Prussia is on
the way to pass from Protestant to
Catholic by the process of birth. The
figures alone tell their tale with ir-
resistable force. The numbers of
Protestants and Catholic children in
every thousand iegitimately born in
in Prussia since 1875 are set down

FUTURE OF CATHOLICISM.

3 Monsignor Benson is hopeful of
the church in America. He says en-
Enthusiastically:
II cannot conceive of any man be-
ing in doubt as to the future Of Cath
olicism in this country. The congre-
cations, the zeal. the activities, the
business-like methodist all these
matters America is incomparably
ahead Of Europe. The clean smart
ness Of the churches: the depart
ments of parish life; the variety Of
devotions; the numerous Masses; the
very ornaments Of the churches; the
relations between priests and people;
all these things inspire the visitor
from Europe with an extraordinary
sense Of hope. The churches are not
exquisite sanctuaries for dreaming;
they are the business Offices of the
supernatural. The clergy are not
picturesque advocates Of beautiful
mediaevalism. they are keen men de-
voted to the service Of God. The
people are not pathetic survivals
