Captain StewaTt's wife and ms father and mother, are proud and happy that he has died for his coun- try's honor and q scrap of paper.
 This is the family tribute paid to the memory of Captain Bertrand Stewart, of Sir John French's starr recently killed in action. Captain Stewart had suffered Imprisonment in Germany for alleged espionage at the time of the Morocco crisis, but was released when the King ana Queen visited Berlin last year.
 When he was on trial, Captain Stewart closed his defense with these defiant and prophetic words
 'If your distinguished country ever attacks mine l hope to be among those who take part in the fight. Even If my own regiment were not called out, I should en- deavor to serve with another"
 The spirit in which the Briush troops carried out the long retreat from Mons. is Elown by 2 letter from Private Thomas Harman, or the Kings Royal Rifle Corps. "The officers knew that we were dlsap- pointed at having to retreat, TOT they and we knew that we were do- ing better than the Germans ana were inflicting heavy losses on them On the fifth day-we had three days fighting before we began 10 retreat-the colonel came around and spoke to us, saying: stick to 1 it, boys. stick to it. Tomorrow we shall go the other way and advance Riff, biff.' The way he said 'baf1' Diff delighted the men, and after that We shouted Diff, biff,' every time we had to turn and drive back the Germans.
 The curtain has been ruug down On the British-German FrIendship society which was organized in 1911 W the late Lord Avebury and Sir Frank Lascelles, formerly Brit ish ambassador in Berlin. At gen. eral meeting of the members, It was resolved "that 1t Is desirable that this society be wound up forwith. " It's funds are to be distributed for the relief of British subjects in ! Germany and dlstressed Germans in England.

ARE PLANNING MUNICIPAL
 DEPOT IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis, Ninn.,. Dec. S-A municipal depot, owned by the city and possibly rented to the rail roads is today being urged in Mime apolis. Douglas Fske, former president of the civic and commerce associations was one of the chief constituents of the plan. Such a building, if erected, would cost millions of dollars to be paid out Of the city funds, and erected un- der the supervision of the city. For several years business men of St Paul have been waging war upon the railroads, in an attempt to bring about the erection of a new union depot in st. Paul. The bat tie has now reached a decisive stage.

mas Tree Land, which, as you
Of course know, Is the country
/ where Santa Claus wonderful nalace
is built And in this palace the Christ
mas Tree children have a place all u

OF all the Christmas Tree children
! the dolls are perhaps the prettcst.
They have room where you will find
, dolls Of every kind and Of every size.
The dol! room is just like big
town. for each family of dolls has a
house, which is furnished just like II
, real house.
These doll houses are set up in rows
along tiny streets. Each house has its
! little lawn and toy trees standing in
front of it. Here and there you will

more fashionable houses are garages
in which toy automobiles are kept or

riagcs and toy horses.
The dolls have handsome clothes, but
usually they keep them put away until
Christmas comes. Then they know
they will need them all to wear when
they 20 to live with the little girls in
Real Folks Land. They dream about
this Each doll loves to talk about the
dear little girl to whom she Is going
and who. she II sure. will love and
care for her tcnderly.
You see, Santa Claus Is very partic-
uar to take only the best behaved and
good tempered dolls to the little girls
He makes Il list Of these and on
Christmas afternoon goes into their
room and calls ont the names of the
favored ones who are to go with him
in his sleigh that year. They all try
very hard TO be good. and the dolls
who are left behind always feel as!lam
ed and disappointed.
The Candy children are the little
candy folk who are hung on Christmas
trees to make it handsome They live
in Il room all by themselves. where
they have Il cute village of their own

The Soils wore
their best dresses to the party They
meant to be very careful not to get
them soiled or musSed They were
determined TO show the Candy chill
dren how fine and beautiful they were.
The Candy children had only one suit
of clothes each. poor things. and could
not take them off.
The Candy children welcomed their
guests heartily. They were rather
awed by the elegance Of some OF the
dolls who came in their automobiles
and carriages and Wore the most stun
ming silk and lace gowns.
At first they NIL sat around quietly
and chatt~l. Then some games were
started. The Candy children wished
to play only Qnie: ones. lest they chip
their coats or Scrapr off some of the
paint.
"Whocvcr heard of party without
dancin-:" one Of the more stylish
dolls said Scornfuly.
Now. the Candy children were
afraid to move around much for fear
of getting overheated. Ii they got
overheated they would melt. and that
world be the eud Of them. However.
they knew 1t was only polite to do as
their guests wished. SO they said that
il the doll children wished to dance
they would all try some nice quiet
dances.
Each Candy child chose a dolly part
ner and led her out TO dance the min.
uct, The dolls looked bored Then
| one dol! spoke up:
Have you ever turkey trotted:'
The Candy children said no. they
hadn't. but that sounded like Just the
| dance for little Christmas children.
| So those dolls began to turkey trot
| with the Candy children
First they danced slowly: then as the
dolls got excited they whirled around
! faster and faster. The Candy chill
dren began to grow warm and melt.

straight home
And the next morning when Santa
came in ali the Candy children lay in
heaps on the floor.
Dear, dear" cried Santa. .~rhis is
most unfortunate. with Christmas so

And though the little boys and girls
didn't know why. there were few can

FOR THE. TOILET TABLE
Souvenirs That Dainty Woman Will
Like For Christmas.

A gift for the dainty woman is Il
powder box may be slipped or which
may be used for jewels. The founda
ton is a box a tritlc larger than the
ordinary powder box. This is lined
with quilted satin and covered with
plain satin outside.
The lid is lined with the plain satin
and is entirely covered outside with
chiffon ribbon rutlled and tackled to the
box lid so that it stands out and hides
the cover entirely from view Flow
ers made of velvet are tucked to the
top of the box.
Another tasteful trifle for the toilet
table may be hairbrush covered with
silk or crCtonne. Silver backed brush
es always have bristles too soft to be
OF practical Use. The plain ones with
stiff bristles are within the reach of
even the modest purse
\ good way to treat them is to cover
the backs of such.
Sandpaper the wood. Have silk or
ribbon cut the exact size and shape of
the brnsh's back and paste it on very
smoothly. Finish the edge after it Is
dry with Il narrow border of gimp or
galloon.
A bottle of perfume is among the
eleventh hour possibilities. With few
exceptions every woman likes a selec-
tion of delicate odors on her dressing
table. Remember that quality counts
more than quantity in the selection Of
perfume.

then bend our energies to bring about
that determination, we are agents of
evil, no matter how exalted our mo-
tives
The marvellous growth of the material
sciences has so fascinated the world as
to recast its mind in a scientific mould,
and, as scepticism and experiment are
the working tools of the scientist, so they
have come into fashion today among
men generally
In an age when tradition and authority
are in all things giving way to reason
it is absolutely vital that the power of
logical and comprehensive thinking be
fully developed among people generally
If we are to avoid chaos and ruin in
the years to come. the average citizen
must be able to apply trained mind to
the problems presented to him, and solve
them on the basis of reason. Having
done so he must have the moral courage
to assert and defend his conclusions.
Our public school system is the sole
means of bringing out these qualities in
the men and women of tomorrow l be-
lieve there is a regretable tendency at
present to deprecate those courses OF
study which are chiefly calculated to de-
velop power of concise and sustained
thought. but which are without any very
obvious unitarian value. / do not mean
TO carry any implication against vocation
n, training. for I believe in it. But are
the two lines of study inconsistent?
These are technical questions on which
have no knowledge, but it will no doubt
be our privilege to hear them discussed
by educators who are qualified by years
of study and experience. Pennington
eminenee as an educational center makes
it a most appropriate forum for such
discussion, and on behalf of its citizens
l extend to you all a most hearty well
come.

tendent of public schools; Supt. Herbert
