AN EAST INDIANS IDEA.

DR.. Krishna of the dethroned dy.
nasty of India, scholar, literateur, and
intimate friend of Pierre Lott, Anatole
France and other European brilliants
is in the United States, and his por.
trait of an American is nothing like
the reflection the delighted gentleman
draws from his own mirror. ...
In a recent interview DR.. Krishna
said:
"The American lacks spirituality.
He is material. He gives his wife
Fof 40 $4,000. Now, you take a go
to hell for what I care he tells her.
I must have little bird around that
can flatter and be fattered BY And
he gets his divorce"
To this cavalier treatment of the
lady Of 40, the American adds fawn-
ing for anything British, and an anus
ing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to
condone whatever he wants to do, said
the distinguished East Indian.
DIR. Krishna, dark, polished, and of
excellent diction, spoke with contempt
of Americas degeneration to a mere
colony of England, gladly restoring the
yoke that Washington and other
heroes had cast off at great cost of
blood.
England says, 4 must control the
SEAS and America says, yes, it is
right that you should and America
supports her. And yet, in 1912, your
country foug1lt England for just the
reverse principle. There was a man,
by name George Washington, and you
call him the father of this country be-
cause he demanded and, somehow,
won free home for his people.
"Send us no more missionaries of
Christ. I find that not nation that
proclaims Christ has not robbed
another nation of it's home. And you
thank God and Christ for each con-
quest that brings the light to heather
peoples. -
"Who has made this war? It is the
Christian nations. Is that the light
that you would have us brought by
Christianity?
I'm India the English have brought
heel of iron. There are thousands of
our people starving, and yet we must
support English bishops with hand.
some rings, carriages, automobiles,
and heavy crosses of gold. If Christ
was crucified on the cross these gold
ones typify, then his followers are
nothing aback in crucifying their
weaker brethren on their little
replicas" ~-

CHRISTMAS.

"fNos
The observance of Christmas as the
day of the birth of the Savior, though
there is no evidence of it's really being
such, is by common consent, pleas
ing and profitable custom, and it is
moreover, the one thing in which
Christians of all denominations, with
but few exceptions, actually concur.
In almost every other particular;
creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies,
there is almost infinite diversity of
opinion and practice; in regard to the
propriety of making the alleged day of
our Savior's birth, a holiday, there is
substantial unity and, by some means
or other, the birth of Christ has been
so impressed upon the worlds customs
and manners, that every event in its
history, social, governmental and per-
sonal, must, necessarily, be connected
with that important event as the orbs
OF the solar system are with the great
Mminary. Thus Christ is the light Of
the world, and all our affairs are con.
nected with him as the planets are
bound to the sun by the law Of gravita-
ton. In every letter we write, every
deed we execute, every item Of bust
ness we transact, custom has made
u necessary and unavoidable that we
should connect the transaction with
the truth Of Christ. And it is q
significant fact that the nations that

No New Way Of Keeping Christmas.
I have among my friends some who
have tried new ways Of keeping Christ
mas, says an English writer. They
have not been success. When folk
have done thing in one way for some
hundreds of years it is not easy to in
vent better way of doing it. OF
course it has been done sometimes.
We have the steam engine. the electric
telegraph. and so on, but with regard
to keeping Christmas day no one seems
likely to invent anything new that will
be as good as the old. Roses and lilies
will not do instead of holly and mistle-
toe, and there is no satisfactory sub
stitute for beef, turkey, plum pudding
and mince pies.

A REAL PHILANTHROPIST.

One of the most pleasing things we
have heard Of lately is contained in
the will of the late Andrew Freedman

bulk Of which is to be used even.
tually for the establishment of a
home for the aged on original lines
which the founder himself had for
mulated. 1t will be known as the
Andrew Freedman Home. It will re-
ceive aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances without regard to race,
sex or creed, and especially will it
care for old couples who, in the even
ing OF life might otherwise be forced
to live apart. Mr.. Freedman selected
twenty-four persons, who will be re-
quested to act as trustees of the
home. They represent various races
and religions and their selection
shows that the testator intended that
the institution should have a repre-
sentative board. Mr.. Freedman, evil

Musical, Christmas Tree Holder

Musical Christmas Tree Holder.
For the Christmas tree a holder
which will certainly delight the chill,
dren was placed on the market several
years ago. The holder consists of q
nickel plated base, containing a music
box. The tree is held firmly by three
strong prongs and screws. When
wound up the music begins to play.
and the Christmas tree slowly revolves.
This makes fine effect. The holder
is simply constructed, and the tree can
be fastened in it in little time. No
matter how large or how small the
ease of the tree, the prongs can be
quickly adjusted to hold it firmly in
place. 1t is very desirable to have the
Christmas tree stand firmly.

 HEART-TO-HEART LETTER
By CHARLES H. HANDY

There are few better known men in the city and state than Col. T. T. Ash ford president of the Birmingham Paint and Glass company. Colonel Tom is a pioneer citizen of Birmingham in the truest sense of the word and has seen the city grow from wide place in the road to it's present magnificent proportions.
 For over a quarter of a century he has been identified with the business growth of the city and has been emi- nently successful in all his undertak- ings. Colonel Ashford, of course, is a democrat, one of the dyed in the woor kind, and at one time in the dim and distant past was an ardent admirer and supporter of William Jennings Bryan, erstwhile Secretary of State Colonel Ashford has been much inter- ested in the recent actions of the peer less one" and taking the prerogative of an old and close friend addressed the following communication to his old col lege chum:

 Six persons were bitten at Alabama City and have been taken to the Pasteur in- institutes at Atlanta and Montgomery. The Alabama City council has passed an ordinance prohibiting dogs on the streets without muzzles. It is possible that sim liar action will be taken here Two head
 of cattle bitten by mad dogs have gone mad in Gadsden.
 Local prohibitionsts were immensely pleased with the decision of the supreme
 court upholdng the Bonner anti-shipping law. They claim that prohibition has been a greater success since the law wa S passed
 than before it was enacted.
 J. T. Walden, employed at the Gadsden
 Car Works, was struck in the head by flying bolt late this afternoon. Five inches
 of his scalp was peeled from the side of
 his head.

SPLENDID RECORD
OF COLLEGE HERD
Won Many Prizes at WaIla Walla,
and the Washington and Oregon
State Fairs

VIM. Hislop, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry, has made
his report of the winnings of the col
lege herd of beef cattle, which was
exhibited at the Walla Walla county
fair and the Washington and Oregon
state fairs. In commenting on the
results he says:
The record of winnings has a
double effect. 1t demonstrates to the
outside public that the cattle owned
by the State College of Washington
are worthy of a very high place in
open competition with other herds
1t shows the student body of this in
stitution that the college possesses
cattle which are worthy of their clos
est attention and scrutiny if they
would learn and profit thereby"
The record is fine one. At Walla
Walla the college herd won eight
firsts, two seconds and one third, and
SNOlCd lhS SCulOl CudulDlOH ana
junior and grand champion for the
Angus breed, and the junior and
grand champion for Galloways.
At the Washington state fair the
herd was awarded two firsts and four
seconds as we'll as the junior and
grand champion for Galloways, and
the junior and grand champion for
Herefords.
AT the Oregon state fair the herd
carried off eight firsts, seven sec
onds, one third and one fourth and
was given the junior champion for
Hereford yearling heifers; the junior
and grand champion for Angus heifer
calves and the junior and grand
champion for Galloway heifers.
This was the first time the college
has exhibited at the Oregon state fair
and the results are highly creditable
to the stock and to the herdsman
who fitted them, as the competition
was keen.
