himself and mixed in on aN occasions
. After the first few minutes of work
It was plain to. the crowd that the
advantage 'was all in favor Of Britt,
yet Woods surprised even his most
andent admirers by his dexterity and
game@ess. in getting out OF tight plac.
, es and in taking a terrible amount
S6 punishment, and also showed re-
markable strength for his size. The
first fall was won by Britt with a
double scissors and arm hold In S91s
minptes, and the second in 10 min
gtes .and 20 seconds with crotch
and half Nelson. g .

the quickness of Johnson gave him a
decided advantage over the. coBored

CHRISTMAS.

Notwithstanding that more tnal
one-half of the civilized nations OF thu
earth are at one another's Threats, ant
grim War rules and reigns over
greater portion of the Christian worlt
there is love spirit in the air as the
gift giving period Of the worlds one
universal holiday approaches. Even II
the war zone, where the art OF taking
life has succeeded the art OF saving
life, the influence of its quickenlne
spirit is felt and gifts spelling gooo
will to men share the great transpor'
tation facilities of the belligerent ma
tions with the direful commodities
that the perverted ingenuity of man
has devised for the destruction OF
mortalS.
There is a reason for this mellow
ing kindness that annually pervades
humanity at this festal season of the
wear and the reason reaches farther
back than the beginning, farther
ahead than eternity; is higher than
heaven and deeper than hell.
Men, that is some men, in their own
super wisdom, may and often 90 sheer
at the story of the manger, the cradle
and the cross, and yet at Yuletide
they would no more think of not re-
Numbering their loved ones with gifts
than they would of walking the public
streets on a mid-winter monday un-
clad, but why they bestow these gifts
on December twenty-fifth, instead OF
the seventeenth of March, the four
teenth of February or the sixth OF
June, they never give reason.
The fact that this is the worlds
gift season is an unanswerable and lr-
REPUTABLE argument that sometimes,
in the mist-enshrouded past, humanity
received a gift at about this season OF
the year, compared to which all other
gifts are insignificant and common
place in comparison, and that is was
foretold in the words Of ringing power
by the old time prophet: "For unto us
q child is born; unto us son is given;
and the government shall be on his
shoulders; and his name shall be cal
led Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty
God, the Everlasting Father; the
Prince of Peace
"Then let the heather rage and the
people imagine vain thing" Let the
war lust run riot and the blood of in
nocense dye the rivers red. Dim in
deed, must be the faith in him that
cannot see that all the powers of the
earth and hell cannot quench the
Christmas giving spirit. Surely then,
these same powers cannot quench the
incarnation of that same spirit that
proclaimed: "Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men," while the angelic hosts
rejoiced in song, and that sometime,
somehow, true it is beyond mortal ken
to tell how and when, this same spirit
will bring about day When wars
to the end of the earth shall cease
when the nations of the earth will
beat their swords into plowshares and
their spears into pruning hooks and
there will be none to do hurt or harm
in all the holy mountain of the Lord. :"
