A CHRISTMAS SONG.

By brightly lighted window,
Stood little girl and boy,
Poor and ragged, cold and hungry,
Small, indeed, their Christmas joy.
"Why are you standing there my boyf
Said gentle voice behind,
'"Gazing wistfully at my window,
!. Why, your sister! is.she blindS"
"Yes," the boy answered, "but, Mister,
Mammals poor and cannot buy
Christmas presents for us children,
Little blind sister and 1;
So I'm telling her about them,
Mamma said 'twould have to do.
IL you'll Just let us look at them,
Well be much obliged to you"
The shopman was filed with pity.
"Come, children" they heard him say
And he filed their arms with presents
To make glad their Christmas day
Their little hearts were filed so full,
Their pleasure they could not speak;
So home they went and laid their gifts
In wonder, at mothers feet
Let US do some deed OF kindness,
Make some brothers pathway bright
Let kindly word be spoken,
Lead some straying one Alright;
And so we, by helping others,
Our gratitude may show,
For Gods gift, our loving Savior,
Sent that Christmas long ago.

Of Professor. w. A. Harshbarger Of

A. Monday evening on Practical APP
plicatf0ns Of the Laws Of Heredfty.
In his address Professor Harshbarger
dealt with the laws Of heredity and the
development of the various laws in
plant, animal and the human life.
THE work OF the last century has
been devoted to finding the laws" said
Mr.. Hamburger. 'The work OF the
next century will be to apply them.
Insanity and criminal tendencies in
families where such conditions are
found. are not accidental and can be
traced back to preceding generations.
according to the Washburn man. The
lecture was illustrated with number
Of lantern Slides made from the per-
sOnal investigations OF Professor
Hamburger. -
In speaking OF the European war. Mr.
Harshbarger likened the conditions now
prevailing in Europe to those that were
responsible for the fall of the Roman
empire. THE war Is taking the finest
Of Europe's men, the men who should
be the ancestors Of the future genera
ton, and leaving behind the weak and
unfit men,. Owing to the fact that the
best men Of Rome were fed to the
Roman race declined. thus causing the
fall of the empire"
In speaking Of the laws Of plant life,
Professor Harshbarger told OF the
many results Of the Mendelian and
Darwin theories. A history Of the
various laws as applied by Luther
Burbank in developing and creating
new forms and species of botanic
plant life was made in the address.
Results obtained by Burbank in his
work by the survival Of the fittest''
theory. including the Californian's de-
velopment of the white blackberry.
the spineless cactus, the tame cherry
and other plants were dealt with and
illustrated.
In illustrating the Mendelian and
other famous theories, Professor
Harshbarger said: Mature has new
er allowed itself to be tied to one
statement. Certain theories will hold
true in certain cases.
There was a large attendance Of the
members Of the club present for the
Washburn mans lecture.
