LINCoLN'S DAY

Today the 1O7th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln
is being celebrated throughout the land From Machas
to San Diego from the straits of Fuca to Boca Chca
East and West North and South alike honor the name
of the American who ranks in greatness along with
Washington and in the hearts of the Masses even above
him.
The uprghtness Of his life, the purity of his motives
the grandeur Of his character to which the South
blinded in the heat Of desperate conflict are fully recog
nzed now by those who most condemned him but half
century ago.
Nowhere is he held in higher honor than in the
Southland where today the gray haired and uniformed
veterans who immortal as soldiers, meet to-
day pay honor to the memory of him whom they but
few years ago considered their greatest enemy.
Honest old Abe" That the title the soldiers of
the North had for him. Not high sounding title but
fitting the man, who rising from the humbest paths Of
life to the proudest and most glorious position in the
world was untouched by pride of place but remained
until the tragic end came of the common everyday
people.
Love and reverence for the nobility and grandeur of
his character increases the years go by and history
thousand years hence will brighten its pages with the
story of of the worlds greatest and perhaps its
grandest man.

Most Of Loot Recovered
When Gang Is Arrested

Chicago. Feb, l2.-In the arrests of
three men and three women here, fed
eral authorities have recovered most OF
tn sj75, 900 worth OF revenue stamps
taken in a robbery of the st. Paul col
leetor's office recently, and they be
lieved today tney NAV nave clue to
the big robbery of New Westminster,
b. c.. bank several years ago.
Those arrested were Edward Leon
ard, alias LutOwsky. John Zeck, mo
torman. and Hichael FlInnigan, sa
loonkeeper, with their wives. Mrs.
Leonard is said to be the "brains of
the gang, and part of the stolen stamps
were found under her floor.
Letters taken from the prisoners men
toned the New Westminster case which
in many respects, was like tne st.
Paul affair.

caused authorities to suspect Flanagan

lieved he had some part in passing the
funds taken there.

THE WORLD WILL MOVE ON STILL

Secretary Of War Garrison had his own ideas as to
lust how the preparedness business of the United States
was to be brought about and at the time insisted
he was the only person who knew what steps to take to
bring it about The presidents ideas were wrong, so
were those of General Wood and all others
This shows the supreme egotsm OF the man, and at
the same time shows his unness for the place he held
He could not recognize the fact that he was as liable to
mistake as anyone ese admit that there might be more
than one way of reaching result.
He was little and being thought the affairs of the
country would 90 to the dogs if he not the job
and Just to "show them in fit Of childish temper re-
signed.
He probably already sorry for his hasty action but
so far as the people of this country concerned he is
probably alone in that feeling The country will wag
along just the same as it always has, the church bells will
ring on Sundays as of yOre while week days the un
regenerate will pursue the elusive dollar buy and sell
stocks cinch their friends and carry the business Of
the country forgefu Of the fact that Garrison has re-
signed Four pecks will still make bushe water will
continue to seek it's level and taxes will become due and
delinquent just the before the peppery secretary
threw up his job.
And while he is in voluntary retirement the steps for
preparedness will be taken along the lines he did not in
dorse unless the peace advocates get in their work hard
enough to upset the fat and drop it in the fire.
The retiring secretary shows just one faint gllmmer
of hard horse sense and that is in declaring he will not
take the stump to oppose Wilson To do so would be to
double the of his fooiShness and chldlshness

A Man Who Knows Cats,

Booth Harrington knows lot
about cats. He has embellished his
new book. "Penrod and Sam double
day. Page & Coz with one Of the
finest humorous cat stories in fiction.
It's the story OF Gypsy" born cat
and become half broncho and half
Malay pirate, and described by MIR.
Harrington as follows:
NO; Gypsy was not the pet for a
little girl. Surrounded by the COM
forts of middle class responsibility
and profoundly oppressed even in his
youth by the Puritan ideals of the
household. he went forth in a May
twilight. carrying the evening beef
steak with him. and Joined the under
world. His extraordinary size. his
daring and his utter lack OF sympathy
made him the leader Of all the loose
lived cats in the neighborhood. His
stately and dangerous walk, his LONG
vibrs mt whiskers. his scars, his yellow
eyes, SO ice-cold, so fire-hot naughty
as the eyes Of satan. gave him the
deadly air Of a mousquetaire duelllst
Gypsy had become. though technically
not wild cat-undoubtedly the most
untamed cat at large in the civilized
world"

THE FIRST, SWEET CHRISTMAS
Simple Old Story, Ever New to Humanity
BY w. NJ. BICKERS.

The day before the first Christmas.
long, long ago, witnessed journeyings
of the Judean people to their respec-
tive cities to be taxed. From an hum
BILE carpenters home in Nazareth of
Galilee went forth one Joseph, with
his espoused wife. Mary, in loyal COM
pliance with the tax decree. The man
tenderly lifted his betrothed to the
back of the beast of burden and staff
in his hand, the weary journey was
begun. There was nothing In the in
cident to specially attract the atten-
ton of the hundreds who wendell
their way to the taxing places, unless
1T was the patient spirit of the woman
and the gallant attention of her
escort. But this little modest COM
pany and their journey was to make
the most golden page in the history
of the world! For on that beast of
burden was the soon to- be mother of
the fncarnate Lord, and He was going
up the Bethlehem hill to His royal
birth in humility.
The way was long and fatiguing,
but the city of David presently doomed
to view and the reckoning lights of
the kahn or inn were refreshing to
the tired limbs. But those who lived
iiSdItI TIE city VI nad neIIGT means
of transportation had arrived ahead
or the humble carpenter and his be-
loved. and there was no room In the
inn" for the late corners, and. uncom-
plainingly. the noble woman adapted
herself to the improvised quarters
wherein the cattle were stalled. The
man was doubtless quite content to
undergo any prfvation in order to pro-
tect and look after the comfort of the
woman, and soon the tired bodies OF
the twain were being refreshed in
slumber--the man probably In sit
ting position with head resting against
trunk. Silence reigned within the
courts of his inn.
Out on the Judean hills hard by
the city. patient shepherds were tend
ing their fiocks. 1t was a beautiful
night and the sentinel stars never
looked more lovely. Somehow there
was a twinklier twinkle and a bright
er lustre. Heaven was concentratins
all it's glorious light to be poured
forth upon old earth when the celes.
tial curtain should be parted at the
signal of an infants wall from the
manger of the inn in the city OF David
And the full chorus choir Of the skies
was in readiness to food the earth
with the divine song Of peace and goot

up with mellow eyes. The shepherds
felt that something out OF the ordi.

with a golden, immortal link. God
had come down to earth to lift earth
to heaven. The guiding star brought
the shepherds to the feet Of the In
carnate Lord and presently wise men
OF the East brought costly gifts and
they too bowed in homage to the Lord
of life in the humble manger cradle
It's an old and yet ever new story
which seems to grow in beauty and
power with each recurring Christmas.
All efforts to eliminate the miracle OF
the incarnation and make of the
Saviour a specially divine favored man
have failed to shake loose the old and
sustaining faith in the literally OF st.
Luke's exquisite narrative Truly this
is the son Of God" is the verdict of
the old world which is slowly per-
haps but yet surely tending to that
far-off contamination when HE shall
have put all enemies under His feet
and blessed peace and goodwill uni
versally reign!
What sublime faith had Joseph in
the incarnation! And how the mother
of our Lord kept all these things In
her heart and pondered them" Inf
dels may scott, the higher critics may
strive to 'nationalize" the nativity of
our Lord, but the story of St. Luke
shines forth undenied, and millions to-
day clasp hands in loving fellowship
as they kneel about the manger of
their Lord, pour forth unto Him the
living homage of tender hearts and
call each other brother! High over
the gangling. discordant notes OF
creeds and the rival soundings of
the church bells. rises clear and sweet
the peri Of the united Christina
anthem which calls the world to Join
In glad new acclaim Of heart unity
Joy to the world the Lord Is come!
Let earth receive her Kingl
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing"
