while Shepherds Watched
Their Flocks By Night"

Like small curled feathers, white and
soft,
The little clouds went by. :: -:
Across the moon and past the stars,
And down the western sky: ;,
In upland pastures, where the grass
With frosted; dew was white,
Like snowy clouds, the young sheep
That first best Christmas Night.
The shepherds slept; and glimmer-
ing faint,
With twist of thin blue smoke,
Only their fires cracking flames,
The tender silence BROKE
Save where young lamb raised his
head, ~
Or, when the night wind blew,
A nesting bird would softly stir,
Where dusky olives grew
With finger on her solemn lip,
Night hushed the shadowy earth,
And only stars and angels saw
The little Savior's birth;
Then came such flash of silver light
Across the bending skies,
That WONDERING shepherds woke and
hid -. t:4SA;tIt
Their frightened dazzled eyes.
= ;s%S'ss
And all their gentle sleepy flock
Looked up,4--then slept again, -.
Nor knew the:Aght that dimmed the
stars ':+ asss -. -

Nor even heard the gracious words
That down the ages. ring s.a. r.

Gomez
- Good Will on earth to bring" =.
Then DER the moonlit, misty fields,
Dumb with the worlds great JOY,
The shepherds sought the white
walled town,
Where lay the baby boy
And Oh; the gladness of the world
The glory of the skies,
Because the longed-for Christ"
looked up
In Mary's happy eyes.

DEAF BABIES TO BE

OGDEN, Utah. Feb. 23.-Deaf ba-
bies sent to the Utah School for the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind will, after this
year. be segregated from the older
children and kept In a new dormitory
and kindergarten. Supt. briggs and
the state board OF trustees decided TO
use this effort to prevent the babies
from learning the manual or sign Ian
guage used by the elder children.
The school authorities believe that
In this way they will be better able
to teach the children to understand
conversation by the lip method, and
that they can be taught how to speak
In the same manner by which Helen

that the Inflated American steamer
Evelyn was directed into the mine

"The Germans are attempting TO

Germany know that the sinking Of
an American ship. though apparently
an accident, would be an event % the

as you that II would be a shell ex-
ploded In the magazine Of American
patriotism. They know the war wave
that swept over America In loss,
with the slogan Remember the

parison with what would enguif the

ship, flying the American nag, be
sunk by German submarine. They
