The First Christmas Tree.

st. Winfred, who was in the eighth
century missionary to the Scandi.
navians, is said to have set up the first
Christmas tree in the home. He tried
to show the people that the Druid
priests had made them worshipers of
trees only and not Of living God. and
on Christmas eve he cut down the
great oak tree around which they had
gathered to offer human sacrifice. AS
1t fell young fir tree seemed to ap,
pear miraculously beyond 1t. and Win
fred said to the people: Here is IiV-
ing tree with no stain of blood upon
1t that shall be the sign of your new
worship. See. how 1t points to the sky.
Gail 1t the tree Of the Christ Child.
Take it up and carry it to the chief
tain's hall. You shall go no more into
the shadow of the forest to keep your
feasts with secret rites. You shall keep
them at home, with laughter and song
and rites of love. The thunder oak
has fallen, and think the day is com,
ing when there shall not be a home
where the children are not gathered
around a green fir tree to rejoice in
the birth of Christ"

the Woman's Home Companion. This
was easily planted in hOwerpot and
established upon large table in the
living room. Tiny candies were fasten-
ed upon the branches, u ten cent bunch

a further outlay for the small colored
glass ornaments added to the gorgeous
ness.
The main idea is to keep everything
Oh miniature scale while duplicating
for the beloved doll children the gifts
that usually fall to the small mother.
So it was that tiny dolls were dressed;
tiny fancy boxes were filed with tiny
candles, others contained wee handker-
chiefs embroidered with smallest of
initials; here hung hand mirror, there
a nursing bottle, tiny fans. lovely set
of cups for the tea table, a small bird
in gilt cage, a new pet kitty. and so
on. Ten cent stores yielded most of
the treasures.
On the morning of Christmas my
eight-year-old was shown her old dol
lies, each radiantly dressed. and was
told that their tree was ready below
stairs. The joy and delight at the
sight were charming to behold and the
blissful apportionment of gifts began.

dispelled by there is something on the

TROLLEY POLES SAWED DOWN
Traffic Interrupted on Falls Church
Line and Strikers Are Blamed

Four trolley poles supporting the
wires along the Falls Church division
of the Washington-Virginia Railway
were sawed down so that they fel
across the tracks near Fort Myer
early Yesterday morning. Officials OF
the company last night charged that
.'the crime was committed by strikers
or sympathizcrs who are known to
have been in the neighborhood early
this morning"
The blockade tied up the line TO:
two hours, but traffic was finally re-
sumed at about 9 o'clock in the morn
ing. The motorman of the first car
that left the Lacy barn in the morn
ing discovered the four poles and
dangling wires across the tracks, and
was barely able to stop in time. He
reported the matter and a wrecking
crew was sent to the scene and clear
ed the line.
1t was said at the company's Off
ces yesterday that, if necessary, a
would be offered for the cap
ture of the guilty parties, and Sup.
erintendent King was quoted as say
ing that Sentences Of fourteen years
in the penitentiary await the man who
sawed down those poles. Had any one
been killed by the presence of the
poles on the tracks the perpetrators
would face charges Of murder. "

rescue of his wife. But is is thought
doubtful if he ever succeeded IN reach

His body being greatly. overheated
it is thought, that he was taken with
severe cramp as soon us he entered
the cold water, and that he found it
impossible to move, once he was in
the stream. The physician and his
wife are thought to have drowned
within few feet of one another with
out being able to give mutual assis-

that he had not seen any hair in the

RESIGNATION OF PASTOR.
Dew. DR.. Mcdaniel Will Leave First
Baptist Church of Richmond.

Richmond, April 11-George w.
Mcdaniel, d. D., pastor of the First
Baptist Church, surprised his congre-
cation in the services yesterday morn
ing by rendering his resignation, to
take effect on August l. The an
nouncement, unheralded by previous
suggestion, and, it is said, entirely
unexpected, was made after the adj
ministering of the Holy Communion,
DR.. Mcdaniel Immediately afterwards
left, the pulpit, retiring to his study,
and d. S. Mccarthy, chairman of the
board of deacons, called business
meeting of the congregation, to de-
termine what action should be taken.
A viva voce vote was taken and the
congregation voted unanimously to
decline acceptance of the resigna-
ton and to make every effort posi-
BILE to urge. DR.. Mcdaniel to remain
in his present pastorate.
1t was stated that DR.. Mcdaniel. so
far as his public announcement was
concerned, and so far as his closest
friends and advisers were aware, had
not received call to another church.
Members of the congregation were
averse to discussing reports that the
action of DR.. Mcdaniel has resulted
from criticism of recent sermon on
church music It was stated that he
has had the thought of resigning in
his mind for weeks and that any re-
cent comment had had little or moth
ing to do with his decision.
On a recent Sunday morning DR..
Mcdaniel is reported to have urged
upon his people more general parti-
cipation in the singing, suggesting
that it was not in accordance with
the spirit of true worship to pay 9TH
ers to sing for them. As the church
has a paid choir of widely-known sing
ers and has for years made much OF
the musical part of the service the
pastors remarks were construed b!
some in the light of criticism, ane
the sermon has been more or less
discussed among musical people.

ECHO OF THE PAST

In a short talk yesterday with an
Alexandria delegation, who called on
him nv engagement of several days
standing, President Johnson severel!
criticized the action of Judge Under
wood, who, it seems, rushed case
in his court to final decision so that
he might be the first judiciary to pass
on the peace proclamation recently
issued by the President. The Presl-
dent was mild enough in his COM
ments, but he made it very plain to
those who heard his remarks that he
regards Underwood as something OF
a humbug and a fraud.

of seven Mexicahls reached Juafez
and said that. they had escaped from
Villa at Satevo, at which time ne was
believed to be dying, but was riding
night and day, cursing the Americans
in one breath and crying out in pam
in another. These men were being
i,eld prisoners by Villa, they said'
but as death drew nearer and his men
were driven off into various small
bands by the continued attacks OF
the American and CarranZa troops
he was unable to guard his prisoners
and they escaped. One Of the men,
after learning the story that the
body of Villa had been dug up anc
identified, said:
''We knew when we left Villa that
he could not live. His leg had swollen
so large that his trousers leg had
been cut open. The wound was an
ugly, gaping one, full of pus and
pieces of broken bones, which were
protruding.
"He had only the services OF ma
tive doctor when shot, and the doctor
did the best he could to remove the
pieces of bone from the knee with his
pocketknife. There was nothing with
which to prevent blood poisoning, and
the first day after the wound we felt
sure that Villa would die, for we had
seen his men and our own (prison-
ers, Caranza soldiers) die from fail
ure to have their wounds treated, and
we knew the awful agony that men
suffered under such conditions.
"Villa was brave, however, and he
rode even on horseback when an
ordinary man would have given up.
When we heard him scream with pain
we knew that he was suffering ter
ribly, for he was MT man to give
way to pain, and when he was wound
ed those who saw the wound dressed
said that he never uttered groan
as the doctor probed for the broken
bones with knife.
"As the poison began to get into
his system Villa had high fever,
and at times he seemed out Of his
head, but he never forgot to curse
the gringoes. His fever was so high
that his face was swollen and his
brown, sunburned skin became red
with the fire of the fever. His lips
were parched and his tongue was
swollen 50 that he could scarcely make
himself understood when we saw him
last at San Antonio He was head
ing south and we were sure that he
would die before he could go much
farther. was surprised that he got
so miles from where we last saw
