Holding that terrible list,
Fearing to look lest you see mic

Kissed cen as those who in an

Kiss precious faces of clay,
Fen as you would had you shudder-

Striving to parry the blow;

the sight
Can fathom the depth of your woe.
By the pang that rent my desolate
heart,
By the crushing weight of despair,
l know how you too will shudder
and start,
Reading that dear loved name
there.
! know you'll hush that passionate
cry,
Thinking Of him as he lies,
With beautiful face upturned to the
sky,
Death yelling the glorious eyes.
Fighting he fell" Does a feding
of pride
Tighten your grief as you think
How brave was the boy that went
from your side,
How he would not falter or shrink.
The mothers love triumphs. Men
call women weak
All, well, perhaps it is so.

For the boy that's lying so low.

With wistful glance turned toward

Peace, heart; he can come never

matters Of vital importance connect
cd with the war than about home
news, just remember that We gen
orally talk about what we are think
ing about, and we predict that with
in tho next year we will all think
seriously On the one great question.
If we win this war it is necessary
that every one take an active part.
We can not send cut young men to
the front and expect them to do 1t
all. 1t is true they are making the
greatest sacrifice and through them
we expect to win, but the war must
be financed and the soldiers fed,
clothed and cared for when sick or
wounded. This must be done by
the people at home, and it will be.
We are certainly proud of the peo-
pie in this community for the &C
tive work being done. We have
SOM splendid leaders at the head
If each branch and an increased in
crest is being shown each day.

Fuel From Peat.

a company has been formed in Nor

ROsendahl method. The raw material
for the new industry will be chiefly
peat from the extensive Norwegian
moors, but any other material may be
used which is sufficiently abundant in
the neighborhood of the factory, par
ticularly wood waste. The product lis
said greatly to resemble English coal.

During the past week 1900 fla

Grating in the southeastern part O
the country In order to facilitate the
transportation of the piling and
heavy lumber needed for the new

on car service of the railroads wal
board has also ordered the prompt
movement of more than 5000 box
cars into the west and middle west
to protect government orders Of
grain and hay. In addition a Large
consignment of refrigerator cars
has been sent into Colorado, Idaho
North Dakota and Minnesota to
handle the apple and potato crops

the demand for refrigerator cars
has been unusually heavy to safe

service has just issued general
order to tho railroads instructing
them to exercise the strictest econ

John Robbins came home last week
from his northern deer hunting trip,
cat the head of his pack, " with $780,
pound bear and buck deer. All the
other bows got deer also. The wild
animals were so thick where they went
that they had hard work to keep from
stepping on them as they straddled
over the down timber on the way to
their Stands in the dusk OF the
morning. The other members were
Otto Loga, Elias Saunders, Gust Hove
and Frank Jenkins. All are crack shots
with rifle or shot gun and they ought
to organize platoon of Home Guards.
Uncle Sam needs them around the
place.
A strange accident recently befell a
fine young Guernsey bull shipped by W..
d. Hoard to party in Illinois. While
on its way in the express car bull
dog in the same car got loose and at
tackled the calf, biting it severly about
the head and chewing one hind leg very
badly. What the express messenger
could be doing to allow such vicious
treatment from the dog is difficult to
imagine. The express agent a. Thorn
son, ILL.,, to which place the calf was
consigned, was stupid in advising the
purchaser to ship the calf back to Mr..
Hoard, thinking, no doubt, to evade
the responsibility Of the express COM
pany for the damage.

St. Nicholas Day and Christmas.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette
thus speculated concerning the amalga-
nation of Christmas eve and st. Nicho-
las eve: Perhaps the amalgamation
of the two festivals was brought about
by motives of economy, the giving of
presents on December and again on
December % constituting too heavy a
toll on parental purses. That this was
the case appears to be proved by the
custom prevailing in Catholic Germany,
where St. Nicholas duly appears in
each home on December 5, and, inquir-
ing into the conduct of the children,
rewards the worthy with fruits and
cakes and lectures the unworthy on the
duty Of obedience. He then asks the
Christ Child to bring them at Christ
mas, and on the morning of that day
they usually find the desired articles in
the shoes which they placed overnight
on the hearth. This variation of the
original Nicholas. eve custom, for so
long obsolete in England, probably ac-
counts for our possession of Santa
Claus in his present form. He is
supposed to have been an importation
from America about 40 years ago
(as little earlier we had derived the
Christmas tree from Germany on the
initiation of the prince consort, hus-
band of Queen Victoria.)

PULLED THEIR COLLARS OFF
If Paris Women Wore Too Large
Neck Piece Other Women ForcibIy
Removed Them.

In Paris, at one time, the people
dropped their extravaganza, and IF
a woman ventured to wear too large
a collar, the other women would pull
it off, Henry Villas he did with
everything he set his mind to-inter..
fered with the dress of his subjects to
some purpose and brought forward an
act against wearing costly apparel.
A few years later the law became
more stringent still. Philip and Mary
compelled attention not only by fines,
but went so far as to send offenders to
prison. Elizabeth saw that the peo.
pie were reckless with their money,
and caused an act to be passed which
declared that anyone who sold foreign
apparel to persons having less than
$4,000 a year in land or fees, except
for ready money, should forfeit every
penny of the price.
Ladies wore hoods, hats and caps of
every conceivable shape. They were
careful as to their hair, and they had a
fine assortment of wigs at hand. Eliz.
abeth herself sometimes wore red hair,
and then reverted to black for a
change. 1t so happened that trade in
the cap line fell off considerably be.
cause caps went out of fashion.

"Takinq of Embrace"

Barrie's famous story in "When a
Mans Single" about the "taking of
Umbrage" is said to have been by no
means fictitious. The incident" was
actually the work of a practical joker
on the staff of a well-known provin-
cial paper in England. 1t was in 1864,
at the time of the famous Seven Days
War waged by Austria and Germany
on Denmark. This journalist, know
ing how late news was dealt with at
the Office Of a certain other paper con-
trived that a message should reach
that paper early one morning, announc-
ing, under the heading Of "The War
in Denmark" "The Enemy Lave
Taken Umbrage." "Umbrage" was
given as place on the North sea, and
full particulars about it were sup
piled. The plot succeeded. The mo-
mentous news item was published, and
the taking of Umbrage" was the talk
of the town for several days.-The Ar
