Exceeding Poverty Stricken

Alexandria had a bread line SIX
miles long last night which breaks
all records in this country and fai
exceeds that of poverty stricken Eu-
rene where the government depots
are surrounded by seekers after the
staff of life. In its direst days the
famous bread line of New York, OPP
posite Grace Episcopal Church, never
reached length of more than two
blocks. Alexandria's latest bread
line commenced at the south end OF
he highway bridge and extended 70
the city limits.
1t was placed in effect Just at md
night last night when 4 Dig automo-
bile delivery truck owned by Wash

alexandria county, enroute to Alex
andria city. The chauffeur was III a
hurry and did not notice that TIC
back OF his wagon had become an
fastened end that as he iolted over
the road his. supply OF rolls. biscuits
and bread was dropping out. There
MAS steady rain OF pocket book rolls,
cinnamon buns, iaisin cakes. and al

Rev. DR.. ]. VI. Dafey Delivers
Interesting and instructive Ser
mon at Union Meeting

There was another large atten-
dance at the First Baptist Church
last NIGHT when the sermon was
preached by Rev. DR.. j. w. Dui-
few. pastor of NJ. E. Church South
He took as his subject, Christ eS-
orcising or driving out demons from
the man of the Gadava" He SAID
it was not his purpose to discuss the
subject of demoniacal- possessions but
would address himself to the fact OF
the man Of Gadava being dispos-
sessed by the presence and power OF
Christ.
Several practical lessons were
drawn from this concrete case oil the
Lord, one being that Jesus always
antagonized moral evil. The speaker
said while Christ came to extene
sympathy. love and mercy to men
he also opposed all evil and liberated
sinners who were undef Tile po"ei VI
demons of every kind.
He referred to conscience, as the
divine monitor, approving tbe right
and condemning the wrong and saic
it is the presence of the Christ to-
day speaking to men through the
Bible and their conscience, condemn
ing moral evil.
The speaker closed with an earnest
appeal to; the unsaved to surrende!
to the Lord and permit him to Des-
tow as he did the man of Gadava a
sane mind and devoted life.

Loss on Plant Will Reach Thirty
Thousand Dollars, Upon Which
There is No Insurance

a loss of $4,000, without Insurance,
was caused by fire which completely
destroyed the lumber, sash and blind
factory of Peter and Robert P.
Aitcheson, trading as Aitcheson ana
Bro. at 215-221 South Union street,
shortly after midnight last night.
The fire was discovered by Alpheus
Robey, a private Waterman, and Will
liam H. Simmons, on the second floor
of the center brick building adjoining
the boiler room, frame structure
on the north of the main building.
The fire had been burning for severa!
minutes when discovered and by the
time the firemen reached the scene
flames were shooting from all parts
Of the building. The tinder-like con-
tents of the mill and the floors soaked
with oil, burned fiercely, sending up
great columns of smoke ard fire and
carrying blazing embers for blocks in
each direction. Luckily there was but
little wind blowing and the rain OF
several hours before had soaked the
roofs of the adjoining structures.
After an hours work the fire was
confined to the buildings occupied by
the planning mill; and of these only
the bare walls stood. i
The mill is in the vicinity of the
plant of the Alexandria County Light
ing Company and many of the wires
which lead to all parts of the city
passed the structures which was
burned. In order to, protect the fire.
men, all of the current was cut off and
the entire city thrown into darkness
until ;2:30> o'clock this morning.
During the progress Of the fire
Chief Gronau had his hand badly
burnt and Herman R. D. Cats and
L. A. Cook. of the Reliance Company,
and William Wood. Jr.. Of the Column
bia company stuck nails in their feet.
Robert P. Aitcheson, a member Of
the firm, stated this morning that
The plans of the firm as to rebuilding
we're indefinite and that no decision
would be reached at once. There was
no insurance carried on the building.
The firemen worked valiantly on the
burning structures and were at times
in considerable danger as the walls
threatened to fall.
The Relief Company reached the fire
iirst and were followed in quick sue
cession by the Columbia and the Re-
lance. At times it looked as if the
fire would spread and the reserve
engine was put in condition for an
emergency.
While there is some doub. as to the
origin Of the fire it seems probable
that it started from the engine room
where there was Il fire underneath the
boile,. There were number of ru-
mors in effect that the fire was of in
cendiary origin.

A Present For You

Learning to save is just as necessary to success in life as
is any of the knowledge cleaned from textbooks, and
for this reason, our Officers aim to make our Institution
a ''chool house, for educating the community to the
savings habit.
To every boy and girl, man and woman, therefore, who
will call at our Institution between now and January 8,
and start on the road to thrift by deposting s.. 90 or
more in a Savings Account, we will not only make a
CHRISTMAS PRESENT OF AN ADDITIONAL CSC
DEPOSIT with their pass-books, but we will furnish
them one of our coin banks to promote daily saving,
Be sure and get one of these little automatic recording
banks-use it every day and watch the results.
Regularity in dropping all loose change or at least a
part of it into the bank, will fill it quickly; and every
time you come to our Institution to have it opened,
you will have a tidy sum to add to your Savings Ac-
count, which draws three per cent interest.

M. E. Church Notes

We are not able to say how much
good IL being done in the evangelistic
campaign, but we DO know some souls
are being awakened and converted.
The big rally meetings last Sunday in
the Methodist church had The right
ring. The services all day were i'm
pressive. The people are looking for
ward 10 next Sunday for q bigger rally
day. The lieuten ants who have been
distributing tracts from door to door
have been doing noble work. Let Gods
people regardless of denomination
awake. This is no sectarian move
ment; all denominations can do the
same. Let all of them plan to hold
meetings. The church of God is the
biggest asset the world has. It is that
which prevents it from going into
bankruptcy.

Why a Chinaman Laughed.

In the European quarter of Shanghai
they were putting in a macadam road.
The street was torn up and barricaded
in the usual way. A sign about one
foot high by two feet long bore this
inscription: Look Out For the Steam
Roller" My Chinese companion. a
leading merchant. burst into a loud
laugh when he saw the notice and.
pointing to it with one hand and the
noisy. Isuffing. rafting steam roller
with the other. said: IF a man can't
see that volcanic mountain of excited
steam roller how in the world a he
see a little signY" And then he added
retrospectively, You foreigners have
such peculiar ways!'-W. E. Aughin-
baugh Ill Leslie's.

Sunliaht and Neaetation.

The early rays of the u exercise
a more powerful effect in promoting
rapid vegetation than the suns light
during the later hours of the day. The
active little c~hlorophyll grains work
faster and better in celebrating food
for the plant under the action of the
blue and yellow rays of the early
morning than under the later violet
and blue rays. Practical gardeners
should make use of this fact by grow
ing early produce as far as possible in
a position where the plants will get

Life, Without Bitterness.

A. c.. Benson In the North American Re-
view.
In an active life like mine one Is brought
face to face with stiff, dogmatic. CEN
serious, unreasonable people. 1t Is easy
to say rough and sharp things about them
and to them: and one Is tempted to resist
them, to demolish their certainties, to
show their lack OF reason.
But one wins no victories that way, be-
cause the only victories are when one per-
suades and attracts and encourages. Then
you can, perhaps, make people see what Is
to love. But when, o argue and contro-
vert, the only thing you win Is a little adj
miration for YOU skill, a little terror Of
yorS tongue.
only try to praise and bless what I
thought worthy of love, and that II 1
were met by controversy L would argue,
II 1 argued at all, with good humor and
wound. Because bitterness really betrays
a little touch of fear. 1t only means that
you can not trust the beautiful things to
win by their own beauty and sweetness.
are afraid that he may damage you II you
do not anticipate him.
Life Is so short. and yet there is so much
to admire and love and to be interested
in, that these ugly tempers are Just a
waste of time n strength. BY yielding
to them you only Increase your power OF
being wounded. 1t is not as II you de-
creased stupidity or ro1ghness by striking
at It: you only put yourself on a baser
level.
l do not mean to practice mildness and
ness; but I would wish to be generous and
chivalrous, and to be amused rather than
angry. Life Is full OF pleasant absurdities,
and the certainties of perverse and stupid
and rudeness and contempt are only thu
signs of timidity.
