LEST WE FORGET.

Is there such a thing as womans inhumanity to woman, or is it just ughtlessnass on our part? But in the rush of getting the Christmas boxes off to our soldiers. looking af- ter their comfort and trying at this Christmas time to send something to cheer them, not one word has been said about sending boxes to our nurses at the front, those brave women who have answered their coun- .try's call.
 When our soldiers left, We all turned out, with flags and music, to show our pride and loyalty, but when these white-robed women left, we let them leave unnoticed, without a cheery word or handshake--let them go to foreign shores to fight, to nurse back to life your boys.
 They are facing hardships and dan gers. Many of them are without rel atives in this country, or perhaps friends. Who is writing cheery letters to them telling the news at home? Don't they look for letters, too? Who has sent them sweets, candy and cakes for Christmas? Is not there a moment when they would have few moments to read? Do they need knitted garments?

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Predictions of mllder weather had a bearjsh effect today on the corn market. The out looK seemed better for increased re- celpts if traffic conditions on the rail roads made any substantial improve ment. Weakness of the stock and cotton markets tended also to give the bears an advantage. Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged figures to l-Sc lower. were followed by slight declines all around.
 Oats weakened with corn. Stop page Of export demand from the gulf acted as further depressing influ- encc.
 Big breaks in the value of hogs Knocked support from under pro. Vlsloas. Slarpest declines were in pork.
 Weekend evening up of trades led subsequently, to little uplurn. The close was firm at 1-4c net advance Wltn January at $1.211-2 and May at $l.19 IA. "'

 MEANING OF BEERSHEBA

Beersheba the scene of General AL lenby's brilliant initial "push," is fa- millar by name to many people who never read their Bibles, because of the expression "from Dan to Beer. sheba," has become proverbial. It has long caused an equally fierce bat tie between rival hosts of phililogists and anti-quarles, who dispute whether the place means "the well of the oath" Referring to a Bible incident-or "the seven wells" The former were thought to be victorious, because there were apparently only three wells; but recently faint traces of four other silted wells have been found, so the controversy has revived. Probably both parties are, right, because the. Semitic races have cherished habit of giving their place-names a double meaning.
