Hope and high courage. and battles

There are worse things than I'LL

which is despair, and there is sick.
ness Of the soul, which is death. And
there is a very terrible thing, which
is the sickness of nations.
This Christmas. when we are think
| ing of the birth of the Man of Peace,
many nations of Europe are sick unto
death.
Last winter, Just a week or so later
than this, was at the front in Flan-
ders. The men were being changed
about in the trenches. Why? Be.
cause of Christmas day!
There had been a Christmas truce
At midnight on Christmas eve, here
and there in the confronting trenches
men sang the hymns Of the Nativity.
The Germans sang, "Stille nacht,
heilige nacht" The English sang,
the French, the Belgians-each the
Christmas hymn of his country. The
long line took 1t up. Think of it!
Four hundred miles, from the sea to
Switzerland, men singing hymns of
peace Eight hundred miles of armed
men singing.
The artillery duel ceased, and after
breakfast, where the trenches were
close enough together, the men held up
their Christmas gifts for the other
side to see.
At first they raised them cautiously,
sometimes on the tip Of the bayonet.
Then when no one showed a disposi-
tion to fire, and the Christmas truce
was an established fact. they grew
bolder.
The Germans, full of sentiment
about Christmas, had many gifts. The
French and English were well pro-
vided. Men stepped out of the
trenches onto the forbidden ground
between.
A few threw cigarettes across to
those of the enemy who had similarly
emerged. officers forbade it, and
turned their backs.
At first cautiously then without
fear the men mingled. What an ex-
traordinary sight it must have been!
Men who had been trying to kill each

on the next day would again be kill
ing, meeting there between the lines,
and exchanging gifts, candy for Gig
arettes matches-those luxuries of
the trenches-for pipe tobacco.
All but the Belgians Christmas
dawned a sorry day for them. They
were cut off from their homes Not |
even a card could come to them
through those lines that stretched
across their country.
Even could things have been sent |
around by way Of England, who was |
there to send them? Many Of their |
were refugees, and they knew
not where. All were impoverished.
But on Christmas morning came |
gifts to the Belgians after all. An

They got, every man of them, pipes,
pipe tobacco, cigarettes and matches
All Of that day, the strange truce
went on. When night fell, the sing
ing began again. They sang the day
out, as they had sung it in.

Who Wants This lob Next2

William Metzler of Portland has a
wonderful job picked out for him by
the Great Northern Pacific Steamship
company, the San Francisco Chronicle
observes. He will travel between San
Francisco and Hawaii on the Great
Northern as official company chaperon
for all young women making the trip
unaccompanied.
With him on the lookout the chance
of romance budding to elimination on
the liner is slim indeed, for he Is to

Must Have AIbumirova Food

The fact that mosquitoes so con.
tinually harass rich-blooded creatures
is due to the fact that they cannot
lay eggs without the albuminous food
which is thus secured In tropical
countries the greatest enemy of the
misunderstanding mosquito is a species
of bat which is protected from the in
sect's bite by its strangely shaped
hairs The bat is very swift Of fight
and the mosquitoes, especially those
which have already made supper Of
blood are their ideal food.

RrItIsh coIumbla,a Minerals.

The annual mineral output of Brit
ish Columbia is valued at approx
mately $30,OO0,0O0. The figures for
1913 exceeded that amount, while the
product last year was some $4,000,O0O
short of that of the previous year.
The decrease in the value of minerals
produced in the province last year,
as compared with 1913, was due to
the European war, which disturbed
the metal markets throughout the
world, producing a depressing effect
on the industry in British Columbia.

Man in Lower Ten" The
Circular Staircase" The Case of Jen
ME Brice." Maybe you have enjoyed
some Of the plays she has written
Seven Days" or Cheer Up" Like
as not, you've found your interest cen
tered in the remarkable war reports
which she wrote from Europe to one
OF Americas widely circulated weekly
magazines, several months ago.
Mrs. Rinehart was writing a group
OF tales for this magazine when the
war broke out. Because she is a pop-
ular author whose name is widely
known to the reading public, because
sne is trained observer with mind
quick to compare values and because
by her ability as a writer she COM
mands the highest rates of any wom-
an author in this country, she was
sent abroad to cover" the news of
the worlds greatest catastrophe.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
she did her work well. Perhaps be-
cause she had been educated as a
trained nurse (and possibly because
she is the wife OF physician. Mrs.
Rinehart gave us wonderful word pic
lures Of conditions in the trenches
and on the battlefelds of Bulgaria and
North France She was given some
remarkable privileges, too.
For instance, the allies permitted
her to go into the trenches on the
battle front little more than a year
ago. She is the only woman writer
who has been granted that privilege.
She interviewed the king and queen
Of Belgium, and General French. then
commander of the British forces on
the contiuent-an exploit which was
shocking to European newspaper and
periodical reporters. Mrs. Rinehart
has been active for many years in
civic and philanthropic work in Penn
sylvania, her native state. Especially
has she been interested in the fight
on consumption that is being waged
by the state, and in the patients at
the public hospitals for tubercular per-
sons.
The worlds largest tuberculosis
sanatorium is at Mont Alto, Pa. The
patients there publish bright little
magazine, called "Spunk." Mrs. Rine-
hart frequently contributes to
"Spunk" From her experiences in
war reporting she has drawn a les
son for the inmates of this and other
sanatoria and sent it to "Spunk." Here
it is
To the Patients at Mont Alto, Ham
burg and Cresson: l am sorry not
to be able to write a Christmas arti-
Gle for Spunk this year. One of
the things promise myself, with great
regularity, is to try to return to all

which was buied six inches below the

child was of white parentage, and
the officers began to suspect that they
were on track of a scandal, but later
the name of Tosh Mitchell was dis

ROBBERS ABANDONED STOLEN
MULE AND BUGGY IN SWAMP
Found Near WilbuIn's Bridge Day
After Sasser PoStOfiice Robbery.

The robbers who entered the Sas
ser postoffice stole two mules from
Mr.. G. w. Jhonston to aid them in
making their escape. They rode the
mules about a mile from the John
stOn home, where they stole a buggy
and harness from Cliff Dozier. They
hitched one of the mules to the bug
gy, turned the other loose, and drove
to Dawson, going through the resi-
dence section of the eastern part of
town, and continued their. flight
through by-roads to Wilbur S
bridge, which they found torn up and
undergoing repairs. Finding they
could not cross with the team they
went about 200 yards down Kincha-
foonee creek and hitched the mule to
a tree in the swamp, where it was
found the following day by Sheriff
Turner. The sheriff S dogs were car
ried to the place where the mule and
buggy were found and took up the
trail, but did not follow it long. The
robbers are still at large with no clue
to their identity.
