COMMUNITY XMAS tree
Women of Alexandria Arranging 70,
Celebration of Praise Service
Christmas Eve.

The city of Alexandria will have
a community Christmas tree. 1t VIII
be the second one seen here, that OF
last year being the first. The ladies
in charge have sent to the Gazette
the following concerning it:
Out under the stars the angels
sang on the first Christmas-"Glory
to God in the Highest and Peace on
Earth, Good will Toward Man. The
newborn child grew and waxed
strong and spent much Of his life
out under the canopy of heaven. Out
of doors many of his miracles were
wrought. There he cured the leper,
raised the dead, fed the multitudes,
walked upon the sea, healed the blind,
was transfgured before his disciples,
and was tempted by Satan. He
"went up into the mountain" or in
to the garden" to pray.
The Christian religion is an out-of :
door religion. 1t is as wide as the
horizon and is not bounded by church
walls or closed in by cathedral gates.
Every human heart may become the
alter of the most high-the human
body the temple for the indwelling
of His spirit. The whole world is its
stage of action.
How fitting that Alexandria-the
city where so many blessings nave
been poured out in the past year,
where peace and good will reign su-
preme, where His hand has so sing
ularlv and nharvelously shielded us
from disaster or civic distress-how
fitting we repeat, that all Alexandra
and her neighbors should gather
around the Community Christmas
Tree and mingle their voices in PRAISE
and thanksgiving.
The tree will be placed on the site
of the Gypsy Smith tent and there
will be no limit to room for all Alex
andria and its friends of the adJoln-
ing counties.
,Of the old and the young. the big
and the little, the rich and the poor
the sad and the glad, let none be
missing.
The Gypsy Smith choir will lead
Tho mns;c The tree will be beauti-
fully decorted and Illuminated but
no gifts will be given anyone. Inc
marvellous gifts of love, peace, and
rood will have already been bount'-
fully bestowed upon US and this Will
be our celebration of praise.
The expense of the tree will be
small and in order that every one
many have share in this Christ
mas celebration and community spirit,
boxes will be. placed at the various
stores where your nickle. dime, or
quarter may find straight road TO
the finance committee. Inc coHnh''-
tee will also receive, in person, any
contribution you will bring or send
them. They are: Mrs. Geo. S. French
219 s. Alfred French; Mrs. I. Mar
shall Jones, corner Pitt and Prince
and Mrs. Harry Wade, 3O3 S. WASH
ington street. The contributions
must be voluntary, as there will be
no solicitation for funds. Please
make your contribution early so the
committee can make their arrange
ments before the Christmas rush.
Remember it will be held on Christ
mas Evc-Sunday evening, Dec. "a
at 7 o'clock.
The service viii Got interfere WIN
any other Of with any business IN
terest. Everybody can attend ana
everybody is expected.
While Shepherds watched their HOOKS

All seated on the ground,
The Angel of the Lord came down,
And glory Shone around.

News of His Death.
q AaaeelArEp eR1aul

PARIS. Nov 22.-Although no ofIlc-
ial confirmation of the death OF En-
peror Francis Joseph had been re-
ceiyed in Paris early Wednesday morn
ing, tie press generally accepted the
news as authentic Special editions
announcing the emperor's death were
brought out rapidly and the passing
of the monarch was discussed with
the greatest interest in their COM
ment the newspapers are merctless.
The Mntin says:
THE sinister old man, who for sixty
eight years wore the double crown. dis
appears too soon Notwithstanding his
efghty-six years. for he has not seen
the approaching hour of expiation Of
the crime for which he will bear
eternally in history crushing respon-
sibility and stigma. But the spectre
of punishment must have haunted ms
latter days If this man. so monBtrously
Indifferent, WIS accessible to any feel
ing whatever-this man who witnessed
unmoyed the worst catastrophes heap
ed up by fate on his family and his
country. The irony of fate.
''If he had disappeared from the
scene three years sooner the world
would have forgotten his calculating
paradise. his ferocious egotism. his
hypocrisy and would have remembered
only the private and public mtsfor-
tunes which marked almost all the
years OF his reign without reiectine
that these misfortunes were all de-
served. He perhaps would have been
pitied. But justice has not permitted
that he swindle the world out Of this
supreme homage. It has made for
hiR death setting OF reprobation and
horror
1t is not believed in Paris that the
death of the emperor will affect the
war in any way. The general inn
preston here is that he had long teen
more or less Of a figure head, signing
without reading documents to which
his signature was necessary and taking
no part In afairs of state.
The death Of Francis Joseph was
caused by cold which the aged mon
arch caught while walking in schoen-
brunn park ten days ago with the king
Of Bavaria The cold developed into
pneumonia of the right lung.
