screw Fortunately he had neglected
to buy one, and so your gift seemed to
come straight from Providence. John
is very much pleased. Already he has
found a use for 1t, as it happened
that he wanted to open a bottle of
thing this morning.
LAS for Fred's lovely books-thank
goodness you didn't send him any
more story books. John and 1 have
been trying to induce him to take up
a more serious line of reading. The
Josephus ought to help him in the
study of his Sunday school lessons.
We we're pleased to observe that he
read it for about an hour this morn
ing.
when you were out here last fall
did Genevieve tell you that she was
collecting silk for doll quilt? She
insists that she did not, but she must
have done so, for how could you have
guessed that she wants pieces of silk
above anything else In the world? Fred
and Genevieve send love and kisses.
John insists that you come out to din
ner some Sunday very soon-next Sun
day if you can. After we received your
presents we were quite ashamed of
the box we had sent over to your
hotel, but we will try to make up the
difference in heartfelt gratitude. Don't
forget-any Sunday. Your loving sis
ter, KATHERINE"
1t would be useless to dwell upon
the reflections of Mr.. Sidney Payson

ALL FOR TUBERCULOSIS WORK
Cross Christmas Seals Is for
War Relief.

None of the proceeds from the sale
Of Red Cross Christmas seals which
are being sold widely throughout the
United States for the benefit Of the
antituberculosis movement will be
used for war relief purposes, accord
ing to a statement issued by Ernest P.
Bicknell, national director of the
American Red Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: while the Red
Cross is trying very hard to raise a
large war relief fund and is anxious to
secure contributions that will increase
this fund, we do not feel justified in
adopting any policy which will tend
to cripple the tuberculosis work in this
country, which is dependent for its
support to SO large an extent on the
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.
AT the present time there are over
one thousand antituberculosis So
cieties distributed over nearly every
state in the Union, and even in Vera
Cruz, the canal zone and far off
Hawaii, which are dependent almost
entirely upon the receipts from the
Red Cross seal sale for their work dur
ing the year 1915. The people of the
United States must support this local
war against tuberculosis, which an
nually kills 100000 people, and at the
present time Is leaving trail of a mil
Hon RJHnded."

Snake Creates Panic,

A six-foot snake, full of fight, defied
squad of reserves for more than an
hour recently. The policemen were
armed with revolvers, ropes and
sticks. Persons scattered in every d.
rection when the snake wriggled down
the sidewalk. A man who was hurry
ing to catch a car near stepped on the
reptile. He gave a cry Of fright
when he saw the snake almost under
his feet. He darted in another direc-
ton and lost his car. A rapid transit
company employee called up Sergeant
Morrison of the reserves and in
formed him in excited accents that a
snake had taken possession Of Sec
ton of Market street. A squad of re-
serves were dispatched to the scene.
but the snake moved about in such g.
vicious manner that none of the po-
licemen risked going very near the
reptile. Then a young man came
along and captured the snake. 1t had
just escaped from an animal store

end to shopping hardships. 1t guaran-
teed him a Christmas to his own
liking.
He was bound by family custom to
buy Christmas presents for his rela-
tives. He had promised his sister that
he would remember every one in the
list. But he was under no obligation
TO give presents which would be well
come. Why not give to each of his rel
atives some present which would be
entirely useless, inappropriate and
superfluous? 1t would serve them right
for involving him in the childish per-
formances of the Christmas season. 1t
would be burlesQue on the whole
uonsensicality of Christmas giving. 1t
and probably deepen their hatred of
him. At any rate, it would be satire
on a silly tradition, and thank good
ness, it wouldn't be conventional
Mr.. Sidney Payson went into the
first department store and found him
self at the book counter.
Have you any work which would be
suitable for an elderly gentleman of
Btudious habits and deep religious con-
victions?" he asked.

young woman.

Surely Fitted for the Job.

A farmer who lived in a certain
rural village had 20 employees on his
farm, and as none Of them was as en-
ergetic as the farmer thought he
should be, he hit upon plan which
he believed would cure them of their
lazy habits.
Men," he said, one morning. II
have a nice easy job for the LATEST
man on the farm. Will the LATEST
man step forward?"
Instantly 10 Of the men stepped for
ward.
why didn't you step to the front
with the rest?" inquired the farmer Of
the remaining one.
'Too much trouble" came the reply.

Americas "Busy Berthas. /"

During the Spanish war America
was rather proud of her gunnery. But
it proved nothing to what the navy
has since accomplished in range and
accuracy.
In the same way, even the excellent
showing made by the new siege guns
which have just been given their trial
at Fort DUPONT will, of course, be
outdistanced ultimately. At present.
however, it is very satisfactory. These
four-ton guns are not quite BUSY
Bertha" but they are big advance
over present army ordnance In this
country.
America will probably never need
such guns as the Germans built to
batter the great forts Of the allies.
The army authorities are putting en-
phasis on something that will be more
important in any battles America may
fight-marksmanship. Without that
even the latest siege guns are use
less.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Father in Heaven, take the twists
out of us; the snarls; the unsuspect-
ed crookedness; the moral ugliness
that carves bad lines in our faces when
We least suspect it. Make us
gentle, considerate, full of compassion
ate longing instead of fierce condem-
nation. Make us swift to help, with
out if or but. Show us the real val
ues under the surface of even disor,
derby lives, and make us glad these
values are there. Keep us from de-
spising people-even the debased, or
neighbors who tread on our toes. Root
out of US the subconscious feeling
that we are necessarily the good peo-
pie, and that all who differ from US
are faulty. Lead US out into the joy
Gus, appreciative, easy, helpful ways
which shone in Jesus life.

LIFE ONE OF TROUBLE
BANK OF ENGLAND HAS HAD A
VARIED CAREER.
To Her Credit Must Be Placed the
Settlement Of Many Crises in the
Nations History-Has Gone
Through Panics.

More than once in her history the
odd lady of Threadneedle street" has
held the fate of the British empire
in her hands. Just recently Britain
has had much to thank her for-espe-
cially the way she averted an econom-
ic panic at the outbreak of the war.
William III had not yet begun to
wear mourning for his consort, Mary,
when "the most famous and the rich
est lady in the world" as the late
Lord Goschen styIal tue Bank of Eng
land, was modestly Graded at Mer-
GERS hall one July day in 1894, with
that canny Scotchman, William Pater-
son, for godfather.
She was we'll lowered as infants go,
for the merchants Of London city sub
scribed in ten days the comfortable
sum Of s6,000.000 for her birth dowry,
thus enabling her to begin life as
full-born millionairess.
But the child had not long to wait
for her first trouble.
When she was only two years old
the goldsmiths leagued themselves
against the interloper who was steal
ing their banking business from them.
A few years later the fears of an
invasion by the Pretender brought
her horde of enemies down on her
again. allied with the rival banks of
Hoare and Child, and she was only
saved from disaster when the dukes
Of Marlborough and Newcastle and
many another noble hurried to her
help with coaches trimming with bags
of boarded guineas. When she left
MERGERS hall-her original nursery
for the more. spacious Grocers' hall
her staff numbered but 81 all told;
and when her next migration took
her, in 1874, to the nucleus of her
present palatial home her capital still
fell short of modest $50,000,000.
Here, in 1880, she was compelled to
fight for her life.
Newgate had been sacked by RI
otous mob, a large part Of the city
was in flames and she herself was
girdled by fierce thousands bent on
her destruction. But she had gal
liant defenders. Her roof was manned
by clerks, firing volleys OF bullets
nodded from the pewter of their ink
stands, which they poured into the
enemy with such deadly effect that
they scattered and fed.
Four years later, "Old Patch" the
roguish son of an old clothes man,
robbed her of s1,O00,000 by means of
forged notes, and he had so many in1i-
tators that a staff of 20 clerks was
kept busy in detecting them.
But the old lady's diary is crowded
with similar sensations and roman
tic happenings. When, for instance,
in "the ass" Prince Charles rebel
army had struggled as far south as
Derby, such was the general panic
that the bank was mobbed by anxious
crowds demanding money for its
notes. Payment was not refused, we
are told, but the bank engaged small
army of agents to present notes for
which they were paid in sixpences,
the agents going out of doors with
their silver and bringing it back by
another, so that bona fide holders of
notes could not get near enough to
present them.

Who can tell the working Of chill
dren's minds, or how, all unwittingly,
we may make ourselves appear un-

This was brought home to Mr.. Hee-
wit the other day as he took his young
hopeful, aged six, for a constitutional.
The youngster was evidently thinking
hard. for he was silent-which was
unusual.

A Future Rockefeller,

Trusts, monopolies, have had their
day. They did more harm than good.
Hence they must go. But, all the
same, we must admire the longheaded-
ness of the men who created these

lette. He went on:

the little boy who entered the farmers
truck patch and said, touching hand
some cucumber on vine:
"'How much for this?'
"'Ten cents the farmer answered.
"1 don't want to pay more than
about cents said the boy.
well, here's one for that price,
said the farmer, and he lifted up a
very small cucumber that grew beside
the big one.
"'All right. I'll take her. said the
boy. But don't cut her off now. I'll
call for her again in two weeks time"

-7R. SIDNEY PAYSON was
full of the bitterness Of
| Christmas-tide. Mr.. Pay
| son was the kind of man
GM1@ who loved to tell invalids
Sa}YSAI that they were not look
M ing as we'll as usual, and
C4ssS who frightened young hus-
bands by predicting that
they would regret having married. He
seldom put the seal of approval on any
human undertaking. 1t was matter
Of pride with him that he never failed
to find the sinister motive for the act
which other people applauded. some
of his pious friends used to say that
Satan had got the upper hand with
him, but there were others who lndl-
Gated that it might be bile.
Think of the seething wrath and the
sense of humiliation with which Mr..
Sidney Payson set about his Christ
mas shopping! In the first place, to
go shopping for Christmas presents
was the most conventional thing that
anyone could do, and Mr.. Payson
hated conventionalities. For another
thing, the giving of Christmas pres
ents carried with it some testimony OF
affection, and Mr.. Payson regarded
any display of affection as one of the
crude symptoms of barbarous taste.
If he could have assembled his rela-
tives at Christmas gathering and
opened a few old family wounds, re-
minding his brother and his two SIS
ters of some of their youthful follies,
thus shaming them before the chill
dren, Mr.. Sidney Payson might have
managed to make out a rather merry
Christmas. Instead of that, he was
condemned to go out and purchase
gifts and. be as cheaply idotic as the
other wretched mortals with whom he
was being carried along. No wonder
wished that he could hang crepe on
every Christmas tree in the universe.
Mr.. Sidney Payson hated his task
and he was puzzled by it. After wan
dering through two stores and looking
in at 20 windows he had been unable
to make one selection. It seemed to
him that all the articles offered for
sale were singularly and uniformly in
appropriate. The custom of giving
was farce in itself, and the storekeep-
ers had done what they could to make
it a sickening travesty.
'Ill go ahead and buy lot of things
at haphazard," he said to himself. Il
don't care hang whether they are ap-
propriate or not"
At that moment he had an inspira-
ton. 1t was an inspiration which
could have come to no one except Mr..
Sidney Payson. 1t promised speedy

Save the First Moiar.

There are many medical men who
do not recognize the importance of the
first permanent molar. Further than
that, I believe many dentists are so
unmindful of the Importance Of that
tooth as to advise extraction. We

members of the profession that it Is as
important to preserve these teeth as
it is to have clean mouth.-Dr. w. A.
