The GiGy's Christmas Tree

A woman, they say, thought Of the
first community Christmas tree. It
was erected in Madison square, in New
York city. There was something
stimulating, something highly infec-
tous, in the idea, for now cities and
villages all over America are erecting
Christmas trees in their public squares,
says the Delineator
They are wonderful things, these
community Christmas trees, not for
their beauty alone, but for the spirit
they arouse in the towns where they
are found. They are the village center
for Christmas joy. Christmas services,
without sectarian barriers, are held
about them. Christmas carols are
sung at their bases. None so poor or
so world worn or so hurried but he
must see, must thrill with friend and
stranger alike to this tree for all the
world. 1t brings the child in the
manger to every soul in the com
munity.
The Christmas tree is essentially a
symbol of the north and Of the home.
Yet it is inextricably blended in ou1
minds with our faith, which is desert
bred.
Most of the great religions of the
world were born of some solitary spirit
who sought the lonely sand waste and
there wrought out that which made
the desert of his soul blossom like
the rose" He who gave us the great
faith went again and again out into
the burning yellow barrens, where the
tender, brooding, violet sky awaited
him; where all the desert world, sc
fearful in it's unadornment, so over
whelming in it's solitude, found focused
in him all it's pulsing radiance, as
though in him were conferred the heart
beat of the universe. In the verdure
less, sand driven, star hung desert the
Babe with his listening ear heard
with his dreaming eyes saw, with his
throbbing heart felt, the faith thai

Commissioner Bailey on Aug. IL re.
sumed taking of evidence in the city
hall investigation.
Sixteen unnecessary employees, at a
cost Of about $4,000 annually, were
kept on the payroll of the city electric
light plant for political purposes for a
year up to July, according to the testi.
mony of Supt. j. w. Pentecost, who
was the principal witness Aug. IL. He
said they were put on the payroll under
orders from former Commissioner
Lyle Andrews, who was recently dis.
missed by the city commission.
Supt. Pentecost swore he told Com.
missioner Andrews several times Of
this condition, but could take no steps
to remedy 1t until the commissioner
went out OF office. Mayor Howse, he
said, suggested twice that he put men
on the payrools of the plant, but each
time he declared he did not comply
with the request.
Other interesting testimony of Supt.
Pentecist, who will be recalled, was
to the effect that Commissioners An.
draws and Alexander have been re-
ceiving electricity at their homes free
of charge. Many other city employees.
he said, also receive their current
free. This practice has been stopped
by Commissioner Marshall, he said
The witness denied any misconduct
on his own part in connection with
the plant, or use Of city electrical sup
plies and material.

Milledgeville, Ga-A mob variously
estimated at between 20 and rs in
number overpowered warden, superin-
tendent and guards at the Georgia
State prison farm near here at II
o'clock on the night of Aug. 16 and
quickly got Leo M. Frank and rushed
him away In an automobile.
First reports that 1t might be friends
OF Frank were dispelled when pris-
oner said he had heard a member of
the mob say that Franks body would
be placed on the grave of Mary Phagan
at Marietta. Frank was serving q
life term for the murder of the girl.
The mob was orderly, but worked
with quick precision. Eight automobiles
took the men to within short dis
lance OF the prison. First all wires
from the prison and all except one
from Milledgeville were cut.
Five men went to the house of J. T.
Smith, warden, covered him with pis-
tolls and stood guard over him. Other
men went to the house of j. M. Burke,
superintendent Of the prison, and held
Il Iii under cover OF their guns.
Practically every other member OF
the mob then rushed the stockade gate
nearest the dormitory where Frank
was being housed. Only the day be-
fore the physicians had discharged
him from the hospital, where he had
been since being murderously assault
ed in the dormitory.
