Lady; how the background was a
painted canvas representing the
hills of Bethlehem where some
shepherds were watching their
fiocks The top of the canvas was
painted blue, representing the sky,
and above silver star shed its
painted light. On one side OF the
Crib was the grotto over which
watched two angels, and In the
hollow of damp rock, trembling
on the cold straw, lay the new
born Babe surrounded by His
humble court. He seemed to wait
for the children prayers. Be
meath the stable was a niche
where lamb was offered In sac
rifce on Christmas morning this
being custom Of long ago.
The good Sister pleasantly con-
tinued her description, adding
beautiful stories which held the
child entranced. First the tales
of the bright angels rousing the
sleeping shepherds, then the COM
ing of the Magi in their splendor,
with their precious gifts.
Sister, interrupted her young
listener, "will | not be able to see
the crib ON Christmas morning 2"
"No, my child, but if you are
good | will take you to the chapel
as soon as it is possible. .
Louis pursued his inquiries, to
which his nurse always generous
ly replied.
SISTER he asked once more,
sis Jesus cold on that straw"
"Oh, yes,' said the nun, "He
suffers great deal. F"
Perplexed and thoughtful the
child was silent, and as he seemed
no longer interested Sister Marie
continued her rounds, not hearing
the little murmur behind her.
"The little Infant Jesus is so
cold"
Christmas Eve, at 10 O'Clock,
every one was thought to be sleep
ing somdly. But it was not so.
One little head could be seen bob
bing up and down, peering eau
tiously into the darkness. 1t was
little Louis, the sick boy, who, not
seeing the Sister, dressed himself
Equietly, and taking a small pack
age from the foot Of his bed
stealthily left the hall. Slipping
down the polished staircase, turn
ing to the left, he opened the
chapel door with difficulty, ano
! then with trembling steps moved
towards the Blessed Virgin (
altar. He at once recognized the
manger just visible in the din
| light Of the sanctuary. 1t was a.
the nun had told him. In the cor
i ner Of the grotto the little Infan
Jesus lay with outstretched arms
and so poorly clad that the little
Louis wept sorrowfully. After ;
short prayer he climbed over thu
altar rail ON to a chair, and crep
away up to the niche, very neal
to the Christ Child.
What really happened we d.
mot know. But the next day whe1
the children came to the Christ
mas Crib with their lamb, the.
saw the little Infant Jesus wei
covered and at His feet sIumbereC
a little child, not unlike an ange
in the golden morning light.

STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS
CRIB.

Sister Marie Of st. Joseph Home
stood at the bedside Of little
Louis, who was just getting over
serious illness. The boy was
listening to the story of the Nativ-
ity, sweetly told by the gentle in
tirmarian. She described to him
the Crib which His comrades had
placed ON the altar Of our blessed

In proportion to our measure
of preparation in these Advent
DAYS will be our share in the JOY
of Christmas. If we wish to enter
into the fitness Of rejoicing and
thanksgiving we must prepare our
souls for the coming of the Christ
Child. Let us make ready a crib
for Him in our hearts. No great
sacrifice is needed, no great labor,
for this crib is fashioned from the
little acts and petitions Of the day.
Years ago, one Of our exchanges
gave the following instructions
for the erection of such crib.
BY carrying them out as we per-
form the tasks of each day we
shall spend Advent worthily, and
be ready to draw near to Beth
lehem with the shepherds when
the angels proclaim the tidings
of great joy"
The supports of the shed will
consist Of posts sunk deep into the
grounds composed of the precious
wood of Humility, rough to the
eve, but when planed, fragrant
and veined like sandalwood.
Once the foundation is secure the
structure will brave the tempest
of temptation bowling outside.
The walls are to be built Of the
solid mason-work of your daily
actions. cemented by morning and
evening prayers, and here and
there pierced with apertures to
admit the sunshine. These aper-
lures are ejaculatory prayers,
which brighten and cast halo
over the dull routine Of the day.
The thatch is to be woven OF
crosses secured with the golden
cord Of resignation. Each thorny
spear will then blossom, like
Aaron S rod, into fragrant flowers
for Heaven.
Acts Of exterior Modification
will form the framework Of the
Manger, fashioned into shape by
daily practice, viz: denying one.
self some unnecessary qualification
at meals, or performing some
gracious act towards an enemy.
Acts of interior Modification
will decorate the inside of the
Crib.
Here and there ruddy berry
will CLEAN through the prickly
leaves, emblematic of sallies Of
anger repressed, or the actions Of
the proud heart resisted.
The Carpet in front will be com
posed Of the green moss of Hope
enlivened by waxen Christina
roses, types of chaste souls who
bask in the sunshine of Him Who
loves the lilies of the field.
The Lining Of the Manger viii
be padded with the soft wool O.
charity to the poor and needy, OF
which the Infant Jesus will res
with sweet complacency.
Lively Faith will be represented
by the fame Of the lamp fed BY
the Oil Of Meditation on the mys
teries Of Bethlehem.

THE COMING OF THE saw
JOUR.

Sweet Babe, newborn
On earth again
Each Christmas morn
To dwell with men,
Though my hands hold
No precious things,
Nor myrrh nor gold
Of Eastern kings
Though I've no part
In gold or gem,
Make Thou my heart
Thy Bethlehem.

A bad back makes you miserable all

Lame every morning; sore all day.
1t hurts to stoop-it hurts to
straighten.
What with headache, dizzy spells,
urinary weakness,
No wonder people are discouraged,
Who do not know the kidneys may
be the cause of it all.
Give the weakened kidneys needful
help.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidney
Pills.

seon, says: 81 had backache so bad
didn't know what to do. had sharp
shooting pains through my loins and
when l bent over it hurt me to
straighten My kidneys were in bad
shape and I felt tired. After 1 had
taken two boxes of Doan's Kidney

FIRE WITHOUT MATCHES

How to light fire without matches
is an important part of the training
given to United States Marines at this
station. The primitive flint and steel,
used long ago by our forefathers, and
the old wood friction" method bor-
rowed from the Indians have been re-
vived, so that the sea soldiers may dis
pense with matches when dampness
renders them useless.
U. S. Marines in the tropics can
start fire almost instantly by using
hollow piece of bamboo This is
done by Sitting the bamboo, stuffing
it with dry moss, and drawing a stick
to and fro across it as violinist uses
his bow. These resourceful world
wide soldiers are expecting to find q
substitute for useful bamboo, ir

NO EXCURSION RATES

Official announcement is made by
the D. 7. & l. Railroad that no special
excursions at reduced fares will be
operated during the war, but regular
passenger schedules will be maintain
ed to meet the requirements of the
public. The road is cooperating with
the Council of National Defense and
conserving equipment and power for
the government for the prompt
movement of troops and supplies, and
the handling of all regular freight
business without congestion
A greatly increased volume of bust
ness has been handled by the D. T. &
l. during the past few months, but
the net earnings of the road, like those
of all roads, have been greatly reduc-
ed by the burden of added costs of ma
terial and operating expenses without
rate increases sought
Many needed improvements have
been made and a vast amount of new
work is contemplated in the hope that
the situation will speedily redeem it.
