CHRISTMAS TREE FOR BIRDS
Object Of Delight to Little Folks Deco.
rated With Gifts Of Food for
Members Of Feathered Tribe.

Five members Of second reader
class In y South Dakota rural school
celebrated .',e first Christmas Of the
Liberty Bell Bird club of the Farm
Journal. Philadelphia. by having real
Christmas tree for the birds near their
schoolhouse.
The cedar tree which had been the
celter Of their own Jolly Christmas
festival was taken out of the school
house by an older pupil while the little
folks made Christmas baskets to hang
on the tree. After this. whenever
they ate their dinners. the children
carefully placed all the crumbs left
in small baskets, which were then
hung on the birds Christmas tree.
where the feathered guests eagerly
gathered to enjoy their feast.
This year the Christmas problem Of
how to remain sincere and cheerful
giver at this season OF greatest de-
mands is to be solved by many mem
bers of the Farm Journal Liberty Bell
Bird club In way to eliminate much
useless and unappreciated giving.
The Christmas tree which has de.
lighted the little folks In the home or
schoolhouse will not, q heretofore, be
thrown on the trash heap after 1t has
been stripped OF its glittering baubles.
After 1t has been carefully set up out
Of doors In a safe and sheltered spot
the little hands which reached out SO
eagerly for it's gifts will now place
others upon it-garlands of bright ber-
'ries, sheaves of golden grain, baskets
of suet and bread crumbs-for the little
feathered folks. A vessel Of water.
free of ice. will be placed near by for
the bright,eyed visitors to drink or
bathe in. ,st L..
Where there is suitable tree stand
ing near the home or school It can
easily be converted into a Christmas
tree for the birds by fastening gifts
of food to its branches.
Christmas must ever remain the day
for the child, but instead Of making
the little one selfish with surfeit of
costly toys, how much better to train
It to look upon this holiday as the spe-
cial season to give succor and protec-
ton to the helpless. At this time
every child old enough to understand
its teachings should be enrolled ~ q
member OF the Liberty Bell Bird club

MILITARY TRAINING OF BOYS
At the Age Of Twelve Australian La.
Begins to Learn Warfare-Pen-
alties for Evasion.

Australian lads Of twelve years be.
gin q more or less voluntary form OF
military training. 1t Is an indulgent,
happy go lucky sort of thing. designed
primarily to be Of physical advantage,
writes Norman Duncan in Harper's
Magazine. When lads are fourteen
years old. a limited military service it
severely compulsory, with penalties
for evasion. and fines laid upon EN-.
ployers and parents who interfere.
and thus continues. with physical ex
ercises. drill. parades and rifle prac
tice. for four years, whereupon these
cadets are passed into the citizen
forces. Four whole day drills are re
Quired each year. and u halliday
drills and "a night drills. A perfume
tory attendance upon these grave obli
gations-inapt. sullen. frivolous be
havior-counts for nothing at all. Il:
the cadet fails to be marked efficient
by his battalion officers he must per.
form his service all over again. In
Kalgoorlie OF western Australia-a
great duststorm blowing that night
we watched column Of these little
conscripts" march past with rifles and
bugles and drums; and they were
smart to see-brown uniforms, with
tricks Of green. and wide-brimmed Aus
tralian hats caught up at the side in
the Australian way. 1t is no farcical
affair. When we were in Brisbane. Of
Queensland, score Of truant young.
sters were packed of to the military
barracks for ten days Of close confine-
ment and drill; and away they went,

trenches VINO was known to every.
body as a coward. He always would
hug the bottom of the trench. IT
seemed he never could get over 1t. But
he was passionately fond Of cigarettes.
One day whilo the bullets were whis-
tling above his trench soldier In
nelghboring trench held up cigarettes
to him. He jumped up. raced to the
other trench and came back triumph
antly with the cigarettes. He was un'
hurt.
More officers are killed In battle In
proportion to their numbers than any
other class of men. That is due to the
risks they insist ON taking. That Ii
particularly true in the English army
I where the officers risk their lives
needlessly. The Germans would be
court.martialed for risking their lives
as much as the English officers do.
The English say they do 1t to steady
their men and show they are not
afraid.
The same is true to considerable
extent in the American army. The
losses OF officers in the Spanish-Amert
can war was surprisingly great OF
course the Spanish-American war was
not on the proportions of this war and
the sharpshooters figured extensively.
An officer in our regular army who
saw fighting in the Spanish war, point
ed out the other day that most persons
! had q very wrong conception Of how
soldiers fight in modern battles.
"skirmish drills in times of peace
have taught the troops how to act to-
gether. and it is amazing to see how
quickly the man adapt themselves to
the conditions Of actual battle. 1t Is
tho corporals and sergeants who are
the real steadying influences in fight.
| They know the characteristics OF the
| individual privates in way that the
commissioned officers can never know
| them and are prepared to give calm
| ing word to this or that one when the
emergency arises. In my own expert
ence / have known a private who had
served three enlistments to take

the officers and non-coms We're very

was over he became private once

more importance than his captain. The
way that man would wriggle into
cover was a revelation and he went
through three campaigns without q
scratch. His example in the regiment
was big asset.
There has been much discussion OF
bravery In battle since the war start.

might dodge their heads into a second

might dodge their heads into second
bullet.
The men were new to fighting. how.
ever. and they were not on the firing
line. They had to sit idly back Of the
main firing line while the Southerners
were attacking their lines.
Just then big cannon shell burst
above their heads. The captain
lodged with the rest. bringing out q
big laugh from the recruits. most Of
whom were not very well disciplined
and had little respect for the great
ness of their commanding officer.
Dodge the big ones" the captain
shouted. as he admitted that even the
expected shot. 1t is the unexpected
ness Of the shooting that causes the
men to dodge. When they become
used to the noise of battle they can
sleep right through a bombardment
without being troubled. They fight
and sleep in a sortof daze. Often they
are on duty for SO long that they can
not go to sleep when the fighting is
over. but they sit in stupor. not
knowing what to do. ltVE
Sometimes 1t requires more heroism
to stand under fire than at other times.
The real heroes are the recraits: for
they stay at the front even though
they get scared. The seasoned sol.
diers Jest as they fight just as gang
of workmen Jest and talk with each
other. Fighting is occupation to them.
1t Is told Of a hero in the Spanish
American war who was commissioned
major In the American Volunteer
army. although he had no previous
military experience except at mill
| tary school, that as he was going into
action at San Juan hill one of the reg.
ular army officers noticed the majors
white face and chattering teeth.
Major. you are scared" the regular
said.
II know IT," said the major. "If you
were half as scared as am you would
be twenty miles from here"
It is not only the soldiers who
showed heroism under fire in Europe.
The civilians were heroes as well. In
Belgium the farmers were In the
midst Of harvest when the uhlans
crossed their frontier. The farmers
continued harvesting their crops be-
cause they realized the armies would
trample them under foot. Their only
hope was in completing the harvest
before the armies crossed the country.
They worked amid shot and shell with.
out regard to the enemy. They were
Just as safe In the field at work as
thov uoro rnputpO and tboy hro poy,,
chose the wiser course.
War correspondents tell how they
found French women knitting while
the fighting was going on. There was
nothing for them to do but knit. Then
why run? AS they knitted they com.
mented on the shots which dropped
around them. In Reims 1t is told how
women near the cathedral counted the
shells as they struck that edlfce.

has not gotten accustomed to the stu.
