ton writes:
Still another picture that rises in
my mind as I write is of one cloudy
morning when, after a very firing
night, l was sitting on the roadside
watching a rather heavy bombardment
near by, and suddenly through the din
rose the sweet clear notes of a shep-
herds pipe. 1t was the same reed
pipe have heard so often on the hills
of Greece and Asia Minor, and the
same sweetly sad, age-old shepherd
music telling of Pan and the nymphs
and the asphodel meadows where
Youth lies buried. The piper was an
ordinary piou-piou, simple fantasin,
mon vieux Charles with knapsack on
back, rife slung over his shoulder,
and helmet on head strolling down to
the valley Of death a few hundred
yards beyond"
Mr.. Berry pictures the stream Of
wounded.
"One last scene l shall not forget
he says. There was a white chalk
road between black pipe trees, and on
it, moving towards US, were two
groups of shutting men, a blood-red
sunset at their backs. Our car slowed
down to pass between them, but
when we saw, we stopped-and let
them pass.
''On one side moved a muddy, blood
stained company, where blue-clad fig
ures dropped in saddles, or chung with
both hands to a comrades stirrup

empty carbine holsters, and saw, too,
eyes glazed with fatigue that stared
from dead-white faces. On the other

and blood-stained like the first, but
there were gray-clad figures stagger-
ing in step, the stronger with their
arms around their comrades. / saw

Believers in Witchcraft.

A firm belief in witchcraft is nat
ural to a country which together with
& profession of Buddhism retains the
worship of nature spirits. Two cases
are reported within the last month IN
India. In the wilds of the Upper
Chindwin a man killed an old woman
of fifty on the ground that she was
a witch, then surrendered himself to
the police. In Pegu, less than so miles
from Rangoon, where British civil
zation has been at work for over sixty
years, a woman cut off her sons head
believing him to be possessed of a
devil.

rant to have a good time. No matter
how humble our home or narrow our
life's path may be, if we are blessed
with health there are numberless little

turn, but we must train our eyes to
see them and our hands to grasp them,

All gifts should be wrapped and put in

bearing the name of the giver and receiver. Let
mother and father play the part of old Santa

paper to have each bundle the same size. A QUO

For many years one Sunday school has had a
giving Christmas instead of a receiving one. The
pupils bring gifts instead of receiving them.
The favorite method is for a class to plan
Christmas dinner. Each one in the class brings
something for that purpose. One of the boys
or girls can march forward dragging a turkey or
a chicken and other member or members OF the
same class following with articles for Christ

Mysterious Love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain than pleasure?
Endless torments dwell about thee,
Yet, who would live, and live without
thee?
The merry-hearted woman, who is
full of fun, of rollicking disposition,
outspoken in manner, has no secrets
which everyone may not know. She
can be trusted as those who know her
have every faith in her. She is Meth
er serious, nor cautious, but means
what she says out and out. Even
her adoring man companions are quick
to admit that her blithe way is harm
less-and it is part of her nature to
smile cheerily. Her way is conta-
gious. Unlike these girls who are as
merry sunbeams, is the self-important,
conscious young woman, of her pow
ers of attraction over hearts-the
male ones, especially. She seems to
magnetic every man with whom she
comes in contact. In short, her smile
is a studied, effective one, which she
has learned by experience to WELD
with great power in her behalf. Sho
has studied a charming manner, a
cute, innocent-appearing expression,
which seems to amuse the men. Even
her attitude is inclined to be daring
in style, from the tilt of her hat to
the wee beauty patch on her cheek,
her high-heeled French slippers and
imposing form. High spirited young
men flock to her side, eager to escort
her to the best places, which she en-
joys. AS he must have expected, she
is an extravagant young woman. with
an air about her that implies unmis-
takably that he will have to spend
money literally upon her. This ex-
travagance he INDUCES in so reck-
lessly that it is more than a fortnight
before he sends his card to her and
shows his face at her domicile the
next time. An unmarried coquette, as
this sort of a young woman certainly
is, has warning which comes to her
at last. It is in her instance-the folly
of love, and not its blessing. This
sort of young woman is blind in her
discerning. and thus eventually falls
IN love with a married man. 1t is
seldom that she falls desperately in
love with this man the first time she
meets him. He is noncommittal when
she breaches the inquiry as to wheth-
er he is single. He is just the kind
of a man she would care to marry.
