And, laughing low, he hurried forth.
with love and pity stirred.
He sought and found st. Nicholas, the
dear old Christmas saint,
And in his fatherly, kind ear rehearsed
the fir trees plant.
Saints are all powerful, we know, so Il

One baby sirI he had at home, and he
went forth to find
A little tree as small AZ she, just suit
ed to his mind.
Oh, glad and proud the baby fir, amid
ito brethren tall,
To be thus chosen and singled out, the
first among them all!
He stretched his fragrant branches; his
little heart beat fast;
He was q real Christmas tree-he had
his wish at last.
One large and shining apple, with
cheeks Of ruddy gold;
Six tapers and tiny doll were all that
he could hold.
The baby laughed, the baby crowed, to
see the tapers bright;
The forest baby felt the Joy and shared
in the delight.
And when at last tho tapers died and

Under the folly Bough.

Ye who have scorned each other
Or injured friend or brother
In this fast fading year.
Ye who by word or deed
Have made a kind heart bleed
Come gather here.
Let sinned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning
And join in friendship now.
Be links no longer broken;
Be sweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.

HUERTA NEAR DOWNFALL,
Reports Reach washinGton
Threatened Reign Of Terror.

WASHINGTON. April 1s--There were
many reports in Washington tonight OF
threatened trouble In the city OF Mexico.
that a situation In approaching where an
other victory by the Constitutionalists will
start an uprising against Huerta and an
other reign OF terror In that city.
John Lind. the Presidents special an
voy In Mexico. II said to have outlined
possibilities OF this character TO Presi-
dent Wilson and to have urged the send
ing OF a feet and other precautionary
preparations on this ground alone. A
story was going around to- might that Mr..
Lind's hasty return TO Washington was
In fact due TO an appeal made to him
by committee representing the p!plo-
matte Corps In Mexico and by representa-
tives OF the colony in that city.
The story goes that Mr.. Lind was ad-
vised that Huerta was at his ropes end
financially. was unable In pay his army
and had failed In an attempt TO raise a
regiment which ne had hoped to send TO
the defence Of Tampico. or NJ least 10

possibly by a call for state militia.
According TO this view Of the situa ton
the Tampico incident has been seized by
the Wilson Administration merely as a
prttext for meeting n situation In Mexico
that threatens to get beyond the CON
troll Of Huerta.

over money matters. He also ridiculed re-

In reply to the statement OF the prose-

fact that a pair OF gloves found In the
road the morning after the murder bore
the name of the same furnishers from

Plan to Have a Garden

The above injunction is directed to
the attention more particularly Of peo-
pie living in town. 1t is presumed
that people living in the country in the
very nature Of things will have gar
dens. Not so with town people.
Many of them neglect an occupation
which may be made both pleasant and
profitable. Properly fertilized and cul-
tivated plot Of ground twelve feet
square can be made to produce almost
enough for any family. We say almost,
because for the sake of variety we will
want some vegetables that cannot be
grown here, or, such as potatoes, mel
ons, squash and turnips, which could
not be taken on in the garden plot we
have named, and will have to be
bought from farmers.
Twelve foot square of ground will
produce enough OF beans, onions, let
tuce, radishes, tomatoes and cucum-
bers to supply any family in Leaven-
worth. And with care and attention
will supply the family all summer.
After the ground is spaded up and fer
tilted half hour in the morning and
evening for planting, cultivating, weed
ing and replanting is ample time to keep
the little garden in perfect condition.
You will find pleasure in the work be-
cause it is change from your every
day work. You will find the outdoor
occupation delightful, because getting
in touch with mother earth, watching
the wonders wrought by her, with your
aid and the sunshine, will furnish food
for thought as well as food for your
table, and the first thing you know you
will break out in song, or uncon-
sciously whistle. Try it.
