CHRISTMAS BELLS.
BY Caroline o. Swan.

I would hearken to your music
Ginning sweet above our din,
Blessed bells, so near akin
To seraphic harmonies,
Bells of Christmas cheerl
Pure and clear
As the pavement so translucent
OF the City Eminent
High above the azure seated
(Blest the soul which hath entreated
Lowly entrance THEREBY
Bells of high, ecstatic prayer,
Singing, swinging, evermore
Bid the universe adore.
Fountain spray of souls, ascending
In sequence never ending,
Flash up, unsteady bright,
From our penitential night!
o the swinging and the ringing Of TIN
bells!

Prepare We the way of the
Lord" is the warning and eXhor-
tation of the Church during the
season of Advent. It is reiter-
ated the more persistently as we
draw near the great day which
commentaries the birth of the
Savior in human flesh. There is
only one way to prepare and that
is by cleansing the soul from the
deflement of sin and establishing
a manger Of Bethlehem in the in.
most chamber of the heart.

Saturday, December IS, the
Feast Of the Nativity, the ami
versary of the day on which the
Son of God was born of a Virgin
Mother, is a hoIyday Of obligation
on which the precept Of hearing
Mass binds the faithful as on Sun.
day. While there is no obliga-
ton to be present at more than
one Mass on that day, devotion
to the Christ Child will prompt
many of the faithful to esteem it
privilege to attend as many
Masses as possible.

The true Christian does not for
get the needs Of the poor at this
holy season. A few dollars
spent in relieving their wants will
bring more genuine joy to the
giver than almost any kind OF
gift-giving, for we have the as.
surance of our Lord that Gin as
much as we did it unto one of
these, the least Of my brethren, We
did it unto me-"

On Christmas Day every priest
is permitted to say three Masses
but there is no obligation to do So
He is free to use the privilege OF
not, as he wishes. Few priests
however, will fail to say three
Masses, if it be at all possible fol-
them to do so.

No nation challenge the legality of this course,

practice and Germany and Austria were parties to

innocent country into disaster and its people into dis

II is MORAL. If zone European nation for years
has been substituting cannon factories and stocking up

So began our fourth navy. The

When the new ships were ready
for guns. they had TO be purchased
abroad. American inventors like
Hotchkiks had been unable to find
n market for their weapons here
and had sold their patents to for.
cign governments. When the pub
lie woke up 10 this fact. congress
responded by making contracts for
the building at home Of guns and
armor. and by 1890 our nanufac.

GOOD MARKSMANSHIP
 COMMISSIONERS AIM
Shooting Gallery With Forty Foot Range Being Installed at
 Police Station

Better markmanship in the police department is the aim of the safety board and to this end a shootng gall 1ery is now in the process of con- struceion in the police station cellar. The contract for installing the gallery has been given to Ripley J. Ramage and work will be pushed along hur- riedly.
 The range will be in the front part of the cellar with the bulls eye against the wall under the Conner cial street sidewalk and will be forty feet from the shooting platform. The practicing men will stand eight feet away from the rear wall and a door will be cut through to permit en- trance from another part of the eel lar.
 The range will be safely covered with metal to prevent any stray shots from flying up through the office floor and injuring anybody and the open side will be completely briclSed in to keep out the coal dust from the open cellar and also as an addi- tional means of safety.
 As soon as the shooting gallery is finished the various officers will be given complete lessons in the use of their revolvers and it is expected that some wonderful shots will be made

TWO MASKED BANDITS
 RAID EXPRESS CAR
Robbers Secure Empty Safe For Their Risk on SeabOalrI Air Line
 Florida Flyer. s

Washington, Feb. 19.-Police and deputy sheriffs were securing the Vlr- ginia hills today for two masked rob- bers who raided the express car of the Seaboard Air Lines Florida Fly CT just after it passed Alexandria, Va, last night but got only an empty safe for their risk.
 The robbers boarded the express car as the train stopped at Alexandria station almost within sight of the Washington monument and bound and gagged the messenger in ap- proved fashion. The speed and noise of the moving train apparently dis coura ged them in their efforts to open the safe, so they rolled it out the car door as the train was slowing up for bridge and then jumped after it. The helpless messenger rode on, and the, robbery was not discovered until after the train reached Richm ond three hours later.
 Two suspects applied for lodgings in Alexandria in the early morning and disappeared later. A train rob- bery almost within the gates of the capital stirred up the police authori- ties considerably

"FO0L PROPOSITION" IS

Quigley Vetoes Protest Against High Cost of
 Living.

"A fool proposition was the de- scription applied by Mayor George A. Quigley today to the protest to the president and congress against the high cost of living which was adopt ed by the common council "Wednesday night. He followed this statement immediately by vetoing the measure and returning it to City Clerk Thomp- son with "Disapproved" written on the back.
 The protest as drawn up by an in NeStigation committee was consld- cred by many to be a bombastic and useless document and has been roundly criticized by the public 1t impressed many as being entirely out of proportion that a city the size of New Britain with little or no weap ons with which to probe should regis ter a protest to the national govern ment against the high cost of food. It was ridiculed both from within and outside the council alth ough it was adopted. This was the matter which Councilman Landers facetiously sug- gested be brought to the attention of the king of England and the emperor of Germany.
 Soon after the war broke out in Europe prices of food necessities took a jump in this country and New Brit ain, like every other city. felt the effect At the August meeting the mayor was asked to appoint a com mittee to investigate, the resolution for it's appointment being presented by Alderman Lawyer. who was ap- pointed chairman.

SHIP PURCHASE BILL
 GOES TO CONFERENCE
Congress to Consider Big Supply Mea- sures in Order to Avoid An
 Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The senate today began consideration Of tho ap- propriation bills, the government ship purchase bill having gone to confer ence there to remain. until February 27.
 In the meantime in accordance with the agreement between the senate democratic leaders and the repu5li- cans, the big supply measures are to Dc taken up and pressed to passage iE order to avoid an extra session of congress. The first of the appro- priation bills to come up today was the legislative, executive and judicial bill. The republicans have given as- surances that they will not fiilibuster against the appropriation measures.
 Formal notice went to the house to- day from the senate of it's action in disagreeing to the amended shipping bill and asking for the appointment of conferees on the part of the house. Senate conferees already have been appointed.
 In the event that the shipping bill when it emerges from conference on February 27 is still unsatisfa ctory to the republicans, they probably will re- new their filibuster and kill the mea- sure. The republicans now insist that the bill is read.
