The young men had tramped

were glad to get back to Jail.
Although young III years, Pal

He has been covicted of crimes

l always give them presents, since God
hasn't blessed me with children of my
own. Come, the car is at the door,"
Outside a shop window in the busiest
street of the city stood little Lena
Swift. Around her shoulders she wore
a tattered shawl, and her hands were
Struggled under it to prevent them
from freezing. She stood with her
face pressed close to the glass.
My she said half aloud, "ain't it
cold for the end of November, and
oh, amt that beautiful doll. l Won
der whether Santa will think of me
this year!"
Lena shivered with cold, and big
tears came to her eyes as she went on
musing. HE amt never come since
mother died. Aunt Rosie says she has
no money for nonsense and such, and
she says there amt no Santa Claus
nohow."
"Move on little one" said a police
man coming up to Lena and tapping
her shoulder with his club. Lena ran
off half fearfully, half reluctantly, and
at that moment spied a large Santa
Claus who stood on the opposite cor
ner ringing q bell and asking the pas
sersby to drop a coin in the bowl for
Christmas dinner that would be CIV
en- on the twenty-fifth of December at
the Wayfarers' lodge.
The child made a dash across the
street to tell Santa Claus what she
wanted him to put IN her stocking,
when she received a terrific blow from
behind. Then it seemed as though she
were falling falling-down-do
Then pair of strong arms lifted her
and she heard a soft voice which
seemed to come from a great distance
say-"Smith, Is she much hurt? Poor
little puss."
Lena awOke next morning and found
herself in a soft white bed in a room
SO beautiful that her first thought
was II must be dead and this sure is
heaven" A white-capped nurse bent
over her.
She tried to glance about, but the
pain shot through her head and made
her close her eyes.
Then Lena experienced something
that she had not felt since her mother
had died-a caressing touch and a
kiss.
Lena had been badly hurt and it
took several weeks for her to get even
well enough to sit up in bed. Christ
mas morning dawned cold and clear,
and the child was allowed to see what
Santa had brought her.
At the foot Of her bed stood a gor-
geous Christmas tree, such as she had
often seen in the great toyshops, but
never in the widest flights of heI
fancy dreamed of possessing. On the
floor beside the tree, in a tiny little
wicker chair, sat the big doll with
the shutting eyes" that she had seen
in the shop window. Then the beau
tiful lady came over to her bed and

which alone we can promote an

IL Mexico is convinced that we

Roosevelt ApplaudS
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat In box at
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes ds-
livered his speech Of acceptance ana
vigorously applauded every telhns
point
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in res ponse to the cheers Tor
him and the shouts of TEDDY" Ted
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddyi", and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T In an admirable speech and /
wish 70 call attention to the following
points:
~ am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly, and worse than
folly, OF Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and OF the way in which this pohcy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover, am very glad OF the
straightforward manner in which Mr.
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
ton by the manner In which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the I'M
preston that although he used the
strongest words In diplomacy they
were not TO be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count
AS Mr.. Hughes said, It Is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count. AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out there Is no doubt
that II Mr.. Wilson'S conduct and &C
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said In his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction OF American lives by
the sinking of the Lusitan1a-
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds, and
therefore In the enormous majority OF
cases the use OF strong words renders
L unnecessary ever to have recourse
10 strong deeds.
again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
actertstically Straightforward fash
ION of the outrages committed on mu'
nttions plants, and all men, whether
citizens Of foreign nations or nominal
citizens Of our own land. who had IN
anv shape or way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Huxbes. II President, will protect
these dom este American interests and
puntsh offenders against them with
the fearlessness and thoroughness
that he showed IN dealing with the
powers OF evil at Albany.
Brought Nation to isnom'ny.
"Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes Just characterization OF
Mr. Wilson'S failure TO protect the
lives and property OF Americans IN
Mexico and on the high seas. | hap
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period OF American History" and was
Atruck by the following two sentences:
"A government touches the lowest
point OF ignominy when 1t confesses
It's inability to protect the lives ana
the property Of It's citizens A gov
ernment which has come to this has
tailed in discharging the primary tunc-
lion OF government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
ing
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with self-restraint, but with
emphasis, that 1t is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
Administration has failed to discharge
and that it Is precisely this point OF
lpnomtny to which he has reduced
the nation over which he Is Presi-
dent"

BIG PRICES FOR cocKERELs.

(By r. N. Crane, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
/ have learned from experience that
the best time to market young cock
erels Except a few of the best which
will be kept for breeding purposes) Is
when they weigh IN pounds to 2
pounds each. The pullets do better
with the cockerels off the yard. But
the main advantage in getting rid Of
the cockerels is that at this season
feed is scarce on the average farm
What feed is available should be
saved for the pullets so that they may
be matured we'll and early for winter
layers.
