UP ROUMANIANS
Latter Are Not Expected to
Make Stand Until They
Reach River Buzeu.
FIGHT ON THE WEST FRONT

ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
The rounding up OF Roumanian
troops is being continued by the leu
tonic forces The latest statement
by the German war office announces
the capture of 5000 additional pris-
oners, together with twenty-six guns.
Seemingly the Roumanans and
such Russian troops as were aiding
them are still on the retreat north
eastward and military commentators
for the most part do not expect a
stand to be made by the Roumanians
before the line of the Buzeu river is
reached.
This line virtually closes the neck
of the province OF Moldavia, running
eastward from the Hungarian from
tier to Galata on the lower Danube
on the Bessarabian border 1t is re-
garded as a strong defensive line and
one easily susceptible OF reinforce
ment from Russian sources.
On the Franco Belgian front the
only recent operation of note has
been in the Verdun region, where the
Germans yesterday claimed the cap

Little Chief" is dead.
The stole charity patient, an IL
year-old Sioux Indian, whose cheer

months that he has suffered won the
admiration of the nuns, doctors and
nurses at St. Joseph hospital, has
gone to the happy hunting grounds.
He was buried Friday morning in

Peter Selwyn was the little chiefs
right name, but bis sobriquet is what
his chums and the hospital authori-
ties called him. Peter was a leader
of boys. Despite his lame leg (the
victim of tubercular knee the
young Indian joined with his little
white friends in their pastimes. Peter
steadfastly refused to believe that
he was going to get better, but never
complained.
No Fear of Death.
Recently, when he had been
brought back to the hospital from
St. Francis academy to undergo
another operation, Little Chief"
turned to the attendant nun and said:

Nuns Weep.
Nurses and nuns wept when Peter
did die. And moist were the eyes
of his six chums who acted as pail
bearers. Rupert Weir, Paul Schoeppe,
William Laux. Francis Krebs, Leo
Coyne and Philip Weinert were boys
with whom the little red-skinned lad
always liked to play and they carried
the white coffin that bore Peter from
the hospital to the train.
Father B. Slime ofiiciated at a RED

who were physically able attended

In keeping with the spirit of the

NEW YEARS THOUGHTS FROM
 RAINBOW.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Mem bers: The greatest day of all the year has passed with it's joys and sorrows. Ii the ones who have been made hap py through the Christmas season could and would stay happy all through the new year, what joyous old world we should have to live in; but no, when the good cheer is over with, the good old Christmas joy grows cold till another year rolls round. when again we awake to the fact that the merry Christmas season is here again. Yet in all the year ahead of us our dear Saviour never forgetS or grows cold toward any of His dear children.
 Let us the coming year unite in ask ing the Great Giver of all our blessings to grant us the boon of understanding hearts. that we may in some small measure comprehend the real spirit of good to all manlxind; that we may banish from our minds all strife and all ideas of reproach. and long cher ished grudges, if any we have remem- really do us any permanent harm; to give us that wide sympathy which brings with it the helping hand for the sufferings of the unfortunate, the poor and the lonely.
 Let. us at this time see truly that it is not the giving of material things but the giving up of self that really counts.
 May God give us grace as We con- template a battle scared continent to appreciate as we never have before the fnestimable blessings of peace. Let us not remain selhshly wrapped in our own small concerns, but to joyfully do our share in helping the sufferings of the sick oEd those in trouble and dis tress. May He give us the courage wherever our lot may be cast to make the best and not the worst of life, that each day the world may be a little better for our being in it; and give us the coming year merry hearts that can and will cheer the downcast and encourage the unsuccessful to try once more.
 My prayer for the Social Corner members is that they may all enjoy a very. happy New Year.
 The, opening year doesn't open en- couragingly for me. The past few days I have had. to keep to my bed most of the time; but, never mind. a poor beginning makes good ending. < Pollyanna: I<wish you were here. I would let you make me a cup of cof- fee.

RURAL DELlvERY,s ouipERoARps
 FOR 1916.

Dear Editor and Friends of the Sc- ciar Corner: As 1t has been some time since have written for The Corner, will add a few lines this week which hope may be of interest to some one:
 It never pays to borrw trouble.
 If you cannot speak well of your neighbor, say nothing.
 Don't cross the bridge until you get there.
 Be kind to your neighbours dog and you will have the respect of his mas ter. It matters much whether you wear a smile on your face or scowl, which will scare children who meet you. It costs nothing to say Hello, John, or Jim!' Every house has glass don't throw stones.
 It never pays to tell a woman her baby is not as pretty as some you | have seen. A man who lets his wife keep the coal bod, the wood box and the water pail well filled never should have mar ried.
 It is a long lane that never turns, We should read the guideboards as we pass along.
 A good smiling face in the sick room many times Is better than medicine. Worry has killed more people than | hard work.
 A true friend is worth more than gold.
 The best business to mind is your own.
 Before we find too much fault with | our neighbors. let us inquire if our title l is clear.
 | In our daily conversation it is well | to think twice before we speak. The interesting letter from Potlatch last week was read with much inter- l est. Although she is far away from | the big Social Corner family, she does not forget to write home. We have received two very neat calendars from Interested Reader for | 1916. One has a picture of a glimpse l of San Francisco and the other pie | ture of Joe Johnstone reading Merry Andrews letter in The Bulletin. If we were good at guessing we should say | the picture of Joe Johnstone might | pass for the kind and olbliging Editor | of the Social Corner. Wishing The Bulletin. the Social Corner Editor and all the writers a very Happy New Year, will lay down the pen for 1915.

THE LIGHT OF HOME.

Al clear cold day, and a colder eve, The sunsets lingering glow, Ref1ecting from the crimson sky With purple dyes the snow. The darkness deepens; one by one The small stars come in sight, Throughout the cloudless sky, ana From utter gloom the night Like giant photographs the trees Stand dark against the sky; Within the West fair Venus shows Her radiant orb on high. The ghostly Soad before me winds Its furrowed path I roam; Low down another star appears It is the light of home. The fisher on the midnight sea Discerns this light afar. And steers his vessel safe to land; It Is his guiding star. The wanderer on alien soil
 For years may love to roam; But soon or late his eyes will seek The blessed light of home. The Star of Bethlehem may guide Our spirit 70 the skies; But this small star shall lead on feet To earth's one paradise. Thrice welcome star; sweet light of
 love
 Wherever we may roam, God grant that our one last look on
 earth
 May see the light of home.

SIXTEEN DIFFERENT USES FOR
 LEMONS.

Mir Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I am sending in sixteen differ ent uses for lemons.
 Few people realize the value of lem ons in cases of fever, sore throat or torpid liver for which their medicinal qualities are unexcelIed.
 Two or three slices of lemon in a cup of strong tea will cure, nervous headache; also. a teaspoon of juice in cup of strong coffee will relieve a bilious headache. The juice of half a lemon in a cup of hot water taken on awakening in the morning is an excellent liver cor rective and successful substitute for calomel. l4
 A dash of lemon juice in cold water makes a cleansing. tooth wash It not only removes the tartar, but sweet ems the breath.
 A lotion of lemon juice and rose water will remove tan and ewhiten the skin.
 Lemon juice and loaf sugar, are good E Outward applications of lemon juice allay frr1tatfons caused by insect bites and also bind on lemon in cases of felons.
 An old-fashioned remedy for croup we remember is honey, alum and lem on juice.
 We all know the value of salt and lemon juice for removing rust and stains from white goods.
 Tough meats can be made tender by adding teaspoon of lemon juice to the water it is boiled in.
 Slices of lemon sarnish fish of all kinds.
 Lemon juice and olive oil Is far superior to, vinegar for salad dress ings. equal parts used for blending. After pulp is removed the skins make dainty receptacles for serving salads, ices. etc.
 Tea is greatly improved by adding few slices of lemon as a Russian tea on cold winter day.
 Lemon Water, Ice-To a heap.ng tablespoon of gelatine dissolved in two g1lls cold water add one quart boiling water, twelve ounces of sugar, and the strained juice of eight lemons; mix thoroughly. strain and freeze
