Road to Promotion.

All employees look forward to the
day when they will gain promotion
when their wages will be raised. and
they will be given greater responsible
ties and more authority.
Too many employees set the day Of
their promotion upon the basis OF the
time they have been with the insti-
tuition. That is wrong basis. Time is
eternal and 1t is cheap. There is an
production of 1t.
To be worthy Of promotion you
must make good-do your work, fin
ish the task, no matter how humble
Some day you expect to be weighted
with responsibility and clothed with
authority to give orders. Regardless
Of the line of your employment, you
must demonstrate that you have the
strength to carry responsibility.
Before you are entitled to give or
ders, you must demonstrate your abil-
ity to take orders-and to execute
them.

or arch, the attempt had been made
to have this half conform to the re-
quirements of dining-room, leaving
the other to serve as library. The
low windows were set with uniform
simplicity; one on either side of the
ing half of the room window seat
ran from door to wall, and combina-
tion bookshelf and desk Offset the buff
fet of the other side. This corner Jane
had converted into comfy" home
like lounging place. Pillows of her
own making were scattered plentifully
along the window seat and piled high
at the end against the WALL A little
center table laden with books, maga-
zines and Bobs tobacco tray was in
reach, and, beside 1t, big morris
chair and James smaller rocker. Here
their evenings were spent in Bob's
reading aloud while Jane sewed, or
with occasional games of cribbage and
pinochle.
Diversions we're not plentiful and in
deed there was little need of them.
Bob's day in the city, his long trip
home, the dinner, his hour with his
garden and James daily struggle with
domestic duties left little energy for
nocturnal pastime. An hour or two
usually found them ready for the
little room at the back, which, though

Der, they had commandeered for sleep
ing purposes themselves. This room
and the kitchen, with bath between,
divided the space in back of the long
living room. Here the builder had
recompensed himself for such extrava-
gances as were INDUCED in in the
front. The room was of barren sim
plicity; severe white walls, window,
closet, and door to the bathroom with
woodwork OF the cheapest spruce.
The only access to the second story
was the stairway in the kitchen. There
were two rooms there. A long one
across the front of the house, but. on
account of the sloping roof, much mar

a lower ceiling. The other was above
the guest chamber, while the space
over the kitchen was left unfinished
for storeroom purposes.

and the evaporation less than now.
On the passing away of these condi-
tions the lake was gradually dried up
to its present dimensions. But mean
while the streams coming in from
every side had deposited a hundred
feet or more Of sediment over the
Jordan valley, leaving it in much the
condition in which an old mill pond is
found when the water is first drawn
off, In the vicinity of Jericho the
valley covered with this deposit II
about Is miles wide.
The River Jordan has cut a chan
mel through this unconsolidated sedi-
ment about 10G feet deep. This chan
mel is now on an average about q
quarter of a mile wide, with food
plain which is annually overflowed by
water, extending to the high banks.
AS this inner gorge is being constant
ly enlarged by the erosion of the
stream it must have been much mar
rover 5000 years ago than 1t is now.
The conditions, therefore, make It
very easy at certain points for land
slide to occur which should temporar-
lily dam the stream and produce exact
ly the succession of events described
in the Bible. There is an Arabic ac-
count of a similar interruption in the
flow of the Jordan 25 miles above
Damieh, in A. d. 1876. Not more than
200 years ago the Columbia river in
Oregon was damned up at the Cas-
cades by an immense landslide, but in
this case the obstruction was perma-
nent since it turned the water over the
rocks which now form the cascades.

ORIGIN OF THE TREE.
Various Stories of Founding of Center

Various Stories of Founding of Center
of Christmas Festivities.
The first definite mention Of Christ
mas tree was at Strassburg in 1905. 1t
was introduced into England as late as
1910 by the prince consort and into
France about the same time by the
Princess Helena of Mecklenburg.
But although its advent into Christen-
dom is so comparatively recent there
are many traditions of the antiquity Of
the tree in connection with various
ceremonials. A Scandinavian myth
tells of a service tree" sprung from
the blood drenched soil where two low
ers had been killed by violence. At
certain nights in the Christmas season
lights which no wind could extinguish
were seen moving in its branches.
Martin Luther is said to have brought
in snowy fir tree and put lights on its
branches in his efforts to explain the
beauty of snow forest under bril-
liant starry sky to his wife and chill
dren.
There was also an ancient Egyptian
practice of decking houses at the time
of the winter solstice with branches
of the date palm-'the symbol of life
triumphant over death and therefore
of perennial life in the renewal of eacl
bounteous year" The date palm was
not only the emblem of Immortality
but of the starlit armament. This may
therefore have suggested the use Of
green's at Christmas time.
