Worthy of His Rank,

The recruit was having his first turn
on sentry duty.
''Now, remember your salutes," the
corporal warned him. eff you see a
lieutenant wearing one star, slope
arms. For a captain with three stars
slope arms also. The major has a
crown on his straps, and you present
arms. For the colonel, who has stars
and a crown, you present arms and
then turn out the guard"
When he was left alone the recruit
went over these orders again and
again.
Suddenly his musing was interrupted
by the approach Of an officer. This
was a general, and the recruit did not
know what to do for him.

bluntly, unable to recognize the badge

What is possibly the highest price
ever received for a piece of Vermont
country property was paid in the sale
of the famous Lazy Lady island in
ST. Adams bay, which has just been
consummated. DR.. Guy Carlton Lee
of Carlisle, Pa, capitalist and publ
cist, who five years ago bought the
island for less than $1,000, has just
sold it to Benjamin Gilman a wealthy
New Yorker, and although the exact
price paid is not stated, it is said to
be over $4,000 or over $4,000 an
acre. Dr. Lee has expended thou
sands of dollars but very little of this
was put into buildings. An electric
system with a duplicate power plant
and water system have been in
stalled, thousands of trees set out and
landscape gardening carried on extern
sively. 1t is understood that DR.. Lee
expects to buy some other island in
that vicinity.

ionaire feel a little tug at his heart
and remember the poor.
1t is Characteristic of the day that
the most widely separated classes are
often sorry, each for the other. That
is why at holiday time the rich espe-
ciaIly put money into circulation. 1t
has been roughly calculated that in
New York alone So, 100000 is spent
every Christmas time. From what l
can learn from charity organizations,
it would not be an extreme estimate to
say that in the entire United States
nearly a billion dollars changes hands
at this open hearted season of the year.
Of course, this does not mean billion
dollars worth Of charity; It means the
money spent upon Christmas in every
form. Still, a great part is charity.
To give a dinner on Christmas de-
lights the hearts Of many rich men.
The annual Christmas elbow OUT
given by the late Timothy D. Sullivan
to the poor Of the lower east side of
New York has become known through
out the country. Every year big
Tim filled about 5000 people with
food and good cheer In addition
everybody received a So bill and a new
pair of shoes. The Sullivan dinners,
which have been carried on by his heirs.
used up 5000 pounds of turkey and
chicken, twenty barrels of potato
salad, ten boxes of celery, 1000 loaves
of bread, 1900 pies, $50 gallons of cof-
fee and forty kegs of beer. Being a
politician, Sullivan distributed charity
in many forms throughout the year,
but those who knew him we'll say that
he looked forward with the eagerness
of a boy to the feeding of "his home
less" on Christmas day.
The government sees that the army
and navy receive a very good Christ
mas dinner, but Uncle Sam dispenses
no charity. Mrs. F. J. Shepard Hel-
en- Could always makes it a point to
send some appropriate present to the
naval branches Of the Young Mems
Christian association, and on board
many battleships go boxes filed with
tobacco, reading matter and other
things to gladden. the hearts of the
sailors. 1t is significant that at Christ
mas her name is cheered by every tar
in the United States navy.
j Ibis giving OF CHRISTMAS dinners is a
favorite New York charity. Even the
big restaurants and hotels do it. Last
year one gave 400 dinners to the
poor. Another sent out 500 din
pers beautifully packed in separate
containers. The proprietor Of a we'll
known grocery house leaves his home
every Christmas long enough to play
host to thousand 'little mothers"
John d. Crimmins is another who de-
lights in feeding the poor. One year
he entertained old people and helped
to wait on the table himself. There is
told of him that he waited on one FL
len Mccarthy, ninety-seven years old,

"For who, sorr?'

Canada's Victory Loan.

The Canadian Victory Loan COM
mittees of Stanstead and Rock Island
have reported subscriptions aggre-
eating over 100000, about equally
divided between the two villages. At
Rock Island 1874 working men and SO
working women subscribed for bonds.
In Stanstead practically one in every
three of the entire population were
subscribers. This is understood to be
the best proportionate showing made
anywhere. Canada's call was for

scriptions aggregating more than
