THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

Does no little truant pathway tend To the Land of Long Ago? No little, recussant rebel bend Run back from the long roads forward
 / trend, Back through the clover and morning dew, Through lanes where the pale pink
 wild rose grew,
 To the Land of Long Ago? What tints of skies so memory cling In the Land of Long Ago? A sudden flash Of blue birds wing. A hint of apple blooms, pink and white
 . flight,
 In the Land of Long Ago? What are the sounds that remem-
 brance brings
 From the Land of Long Ago? Faint the notes that the Long Ago
 sings; Laughter of children, soft whirrs of Songs in the meadow, the thrusf's
 call Symphony magical, blending all, From the Land of Long Ago. Oh, million miles from ol6er years Lies the Land of Long Ago! Our eyes are blinded by mists of tears, The mystic symphony no one hears, But back, far back where the wild . rose dreams, And tint, of blue-bird's pinion gleans,t Annie O'Connor, in the New York

POETRY
LET THERE BE PEACE.

o, the weary world is waiting, For the Song of Peace to start, When the battlefags are folded, And a gladness swells the heart; When the haggard and the hungry, The homestick and distressed, Can round their own doors gather, Once more in peaceful rest. There's a sulphur breath from cannon And a choking born of dread; There's viper in the bullet,
 And host of gallant dead; Oh! it may be, jus: little,
 Each contestant is to blame, But the hearts at home are bIeedine And 1t hurts us all the same. And the weary world is calling, While the ranks keep pouring in: Why, O why, this useless carnage, And why this monstrous sin?" Q, my brothers, all are weary
 Of your warcry, drum and fife: They are weary of the sorrow
 And such wanton waste of life. Oh! my brothers, we are pleading. All these thousands miles away, And the message goes unfrozen, Won't you hearken what we say? For we all are tired and weary
 Waiting for the war to cease; We deplore. and pray in earnest For surcease and speedy peace.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEATRE
Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore in the Great Stage Triumph, Under Cover, Feature for Today.

When Roi Cooper Magrue's phe- nomenally clever drama, Under Cover filled the Cort theatre in New York month after month, the production attracted the attention of the Fa- nous Players Film company because of its unquestioned popular appeal In all the mass of plays which are pro- duced every season on Broadway this thrilling drama was conspicuous as a tremendous success, nor did it re- quire very careful study on the part of the producers to discover the rea- son for its record breaking popular tty.
 It was the swift action of the story the never-ending suspense, the mys- tery, the fascinating battle between a man and woman who are in love but are forced to battle with each other by powers which they cannot resist, thrills which come in quick succession and the humor which per vades many scenes. Since all these elements are ideal for presentation on the screen, the Famous Players were quick to obtain the screen rights for Under Cover, which is to be the Paramount feature at the Breed thea tre for today. Other pictures on the bill are the Pathe Weekly and a screamingly funny comedy entitled Whats in a Name.
 On Wednesday and Thursday the Breed will present Lionel Barrymore and Grace Valentine in the fiVe-part Metro production. The Brand of Cow Rrdice.
 The production of The Brand of Cowardice was made with the strict est accuracy as to scenic affects along the Mexican border and with the greatest pains as to details of life in the American army. These details were supplied by John w. Noble, di- rector of the play, who entered the regular army as a West Point man, fought in the Spanish-American war, was wounded several times in the Philippines, saw service in Cuba and was in China during the Boxer up- rising.
 Thus. with an army play directed by a former commissioned officer in the regular army, with two such stars us MT. Barrymore and Miss Valentine and with a strong supporting cast, The Brand of Cowardice bids fair to prove one of the sensations of the screen during the present season.

At Sacred Heart church Christmas morning many were in attendance at the masses The singing at the first mass was by the chi1dren's choir. The decorations by the Altar society were beautiful, ropes of evergreen esosted with red berries terminating in wreaths, extended from the altar to the corner posts of the sanctuary. Small hemlocks were about the altar, cut flowers were placed at various points. The manager, amid hemlock boughs, with Its representation of Mother and Child, adoring shepherds and wise men, was realistic. Over all the lighted candles spread a soft glow.
 In the Christmas sermon, Rev. c. W. Brennan said: Many generations have been inspired and comforted by these words from Luke. Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord. Au- Rome and destined to be one of the greatest of pagan rulers. Countless wealth poured in. many peoples were under his control, so an enrolment was ordered. One secret of the Ro- man power was that the authorities respected the feeling of the peoples under them. therefore Augustus did not insist upon his way of enroll ment but allowed them to follow their Jewish custom, each going to the town or his ancestors. So the journey or seventy miles from Nazareth to Beth lehem was taken by Joseph and Mary. It must have been a hard journey
 Bethlehem,( the very name reminds us of Christi, means the house of prayer. The first schild was called the f1rstborn, with special rights and priv ilegeS. The place of Christ's birth was a cave hollowed out of a rock, a place where sheep were driven in out of the storm. This was a shepherds country. the flock tower is mentioned In connection with Jacob and later with David in the Old Testament. In the Holy Land sheep are pastured in separate flocks and the shepherd knows each sheep and they are cared for all through the night.
 All heaven was opened on the night of Christ's birth and angels came to the shepherds with their message of peace and good will.
 Let us adore the Child of Bethle- hem, that there may be peace and joy in our hearts. so that all who come in contact with us may be made better
 Benediction followed the mass and selection on the violin was rendered bv Miss Mary Butler, accompanied( by Miss Elizabeth Malone at the organ. The singing during the masses was given most effectively with an admir- able blending of voices. the result of careful training. The soloists were: Misses May Pounch Mary Ryan, An nie Pounch; also Carl Lyons, Leroy Hubbard and B. J. Houlihan.

 IN CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. Housetops Were Covered With Folks Viewing Pillar of Smoke Emitted.

Bedding, Cal, Dec. 25.-Lassen Peak celebrated Christmas by emitting to- day a great black pillar of smoke. Then the wind came up and whipped the smoke into ring like a halo around the top of the old mountain, which has been erupting at intervals since the spring of 1914. Housetops here were covered with folks viewing the spectacle through field glasses even before they had opened their Christ mas packages.
