up-a haystack on fire!
Bill reached the farmyard. The
wind had blown the flames against one
gable of the house and it was burn
ing. He ran to the stable for a pitch
fork. Then began a fierce battle.
Bucket after bucket of water he car
ried. The last spark was dashed out,
and Bill sank exhausted to the ground
as the farmer and his family, visiting
at neighbor's and attracted by the
blaze, came rushing upon the scene.
Yes" declared Farmer Dale, two
hours later as he showed Bill up the
stairs and into comfortable chamber,
this is your room, and you will sleep
here, and you're free boarder long as
you like, understand? Why, there'd
be no house to sleep in if it wasn't for
you!"
Old Bill was a long time getting into
bed. Like to a child he sank into a
peaceful slumber, his softened spirit

of those, however humble, who had
helped to make true Peace on earth

Bill, more familiarly "Old Bill'-he

termed it, with a chuckle of supreme
satisfaction.

one thing missing Christmas tree"
Bill was a character. The towns
people designated him tramp. Some

He had fished out an old oil stove, a
cot, table and chair from the town
dumping heap.
A particula- housewife had present
ed him with a roasted chicken because
one side was slightly charred. On the
rude table beside it were half dozen
homemade doughnuts and real
mince pie,
Bill took last look at the goodly
array of comfort then went out to seek
a branch Of arbor vitae which would
serve as Christmas tree.
AS he neared the barn on his return
he came to speedy halt.

A fine program has been arranged

Not only will there be many of

WHAT WAR WITH MEXICO
WOULD ACTUALLY MEAN
No Chance For Stand.Up Fight,
But Continuous Guer.
lila Engagements.

| Any one who wants war with Mex
leo can get to-day on the Texas bor-
der a fair sample of what 1t would
be. says the New York World. Only
instead of being confined to a few
counties along the Rio Grande, the
same conditions would be met
throughout the entire 100000
square miles of Mexico.
Continuing the World says:
"At the present time large forces
of United States cavalry and infant
ry are engaged in guarding the
boundary. They are thoroughly sea-
soned troops ready for any work. At
one point a party Of Mexican bandits
raid ranch, kill the owner and car
ry of horses and provisions. At an
other an American sentry is shot
from cover. Somewhere else rail-
road trestle is set on fire or laborers
and kidnapped or murdered. Wher-
ever United States troopers catch up
with Mexican outlaws they Kill one
or morn and the rest escape in the
chaparral There is little chance of
stand-up fight with the raiders,
where numbers and courage count;
that does not enter into the Mexi-
cans plan of operations.
People who talk light-heartedly
of armed Intervention in Mexico pic
ture an American army marching in
triumph from Vera Cruz and ending
the campaign at one stroke. They
ignore the character of the country
and the character of the people to
be dealt with. To conquer Mexico
and restore 1t to order after occupa-
ton by the United States would
meant that 1t must be garrisoned
fom end to end and policed and pa
trolled at every point.
This country would have to face
a guerrilla war over an immense ter
ritory for years to come, in which,
at the hand of the Mexican bandits.
noncombatants and civilians would
have no rights and be treated with
no more mercy than these bandits
are showing to-day in their raids
along the Rio Grande."
