partly on top of one Of the animals.
The other horse was a little further

If anyone has any idea that the

question was in no way abnormal. as
adam an Eve had been missing from
the Marine Corps since January l3, 1911.
The orderly was then sure that he was
in touch with sincere lunatic.

BEAUTY AND PATHOS
MINGLE IN PICTURES
Intaglio Section of Evening
Ledger on December 21 Will
Be Artistic Treat

No one who believes that Christmas
stands apart as the day of days can af-
ford to miss the special intaglio section
that will be published as part of the
EVENING LEDGER on December 2l-neXt
Tuesday. That those who hold this be-

and, therefore. the first page of the spe-
cial section Is to be a wash drawing, en-
titled bringing in the Boar's Head"

Arthur Henderson.
But this section will not be alone for
those who are able to make Christmas

time OF feasting and plenty. It also VIII
have something that will grasp the at
tention of the poorest man or woman In
the city On the third page will be two
drawings by Paus.
The first will show what the tenements
and slums look like on Christmas day;
the second will show how they might
look how they would look II there were
no hardship, poverty or hunger on this
day Of days" The contrast is one that
cannot fail to stick in the mind of every
one who looks Mt these pictures.
The second page will be taken UP by a
Christmas editorial that will be of special
interest to schoolchildren, high school
pupils and their parents-in fact, TO
every one interested In education It
will be from the pen of Dr. John P. Gar
ber, superintendent of Philadelphlas pub
lie schools. and 1t will breathe the real
spirit of Christmas Also on this page
will be another literary treat-the "Yule-
tide Song of the only Tom DAILY. whose
column appears every day in the editorial
page of the EVENING LEDGER.
The third page will contain also a
reproduction of the famous water color
by VIII Crawford. widely known illus
traitor, entitled christmas Revel in Old
Dutch New York. Upon the last page
of the four-page section will be a repro
duction of w. l.. Taylor's painting, "The
