Hark, burst Of heavenly music
From band of seraphs bright.
Suddenly to earth descending.
In the calm and silent night.
To the shepherds Of Judea,
Watching in the early dawn!
Lo, they bear the joyful tidings-
Jesus. Prince Of Peace. is born!
Sweet and clear those angel voices,
Echoing through the starry sky,
AZ they chant the heavenly chorus
GLORY be to God on hight"
And this Joyful Christmas morning
Breaking DER the world below
Tells again the wondrous story H,
Shepherds heard so long ago.
Who shall still our tuneful voices,
Who the tide Of praise shall stem,
Which the blessed angels taught u
In the fields Of Bethlehem
Hark. We hear again the chorus
Ringing through the starry sky.
And Ne Join the heavenly anthem
's0lory b 70 God On hiGh!''

Because a Little Child Was Born.

Because little child was born
The earth is filled with peace;
Old wrongs. old sorrows are forgot
In suffering's sweet surcease
Oh, men that strain for empty gain.
Oh, hearts with hatreds torn.
There Is no room for strife today
A little child Is born!

ROSsER HAS STATEMENT
IF Leo FRANK DIES

ATLANTA, Ga, July 19-Atlanta
was discussing little else beside the
Frank situation this morning, though
it had been more than twenty-four
hours since the news that Leo Franks
throat had been cut while he slept by
a fellow prisoner.
The discussion in several places
hinged on whether or not the action of
the convict William Green was the re-
suit of plot, being inspired by the
same influences outside the prison that
made the demonstrations against Gov
ernor Slaton following his commute .
ton of Franks sentence. In most
quarters this was doubted, the public
believing that Green's act was entirely =
individual and the result of a morbid
~brooding over the Frank case
Luther Z. Rosser, the original attor-
ney for Frank, but who has not ap-
peared in the case recently, stated that
he had statement to give out in case

COAL OUTPUT OF
STATE INCREASED

The output of Ignite in North Da-
kota-the only mineral-fuel of the
state 49, increased in 1914 from 1885,
800 short tons, valued at $750,652 in
1913, to 506,6S5 tons, valued at $771,-
379. The output of Ignite coal in
1912 was 499,48O tons and in 1911
5O2,62S tons. The relatively small
difference in production during the
last four years indicates an absence
of any f1uctuating influences, and
shows that active development of lig-
mite properties will wait upon increas-
ed population. At present Ignite is
consumed chiefly for domestic uses,
but when properly handled with prop
isfaction as a boiler fuel. A convinc-
ing example of what may be accom-
plished with Ignite for boiler use is
er equipment it can be used with sat-
presented by the irrigation plant of the
United States Reclamation Service at
Williston, where reclamation service
operates the mine and uses the pro-
duct in the generation of steam for it's

Port all Prince, Aug. - American

the fort, and national palace, and the
Haitian gunboat, Pacitique, which ar
rived in port of Prince au Port early
this morning. During the movement
to take the Office of the port, the
Americans opened fire on the Haitians
and one Haitian was killed.
The occupation of the office of the
port and the national palace gave the
Americans the last position held by
the Haitians. The populace has
been thrown into CONSERVATION by the
operations of the Americans.
The president of the senate, in the
name of the nation today, cabled the
Haitian minister to the United States
a new protest against the occupation
of Haitian territory by the American
naval force.
The American authorities have no

Ignite on a commercial scale in 1914.
The number of men employed in the
Ignite mines of North Dakota in 1914
was 558, who worked an average Of
ZIG days, as compared with GAL men
for an average of 221 days in 1913.
The average production per man was
