Lovely New Knitting
 Bags

Most every woman IS carrying a Knitting Bag these days. Its quite the fad even with those who do not knit. They serve nicely for shopping bags, and you can help Uncle Sam just a little by carrying small pack ages with you rather than have them delivered. We have some new and extremely good look ing Knitting Bags on display at $1.95, SAYS, $3.25 and $4.

"A Visit From
St. Nicholas"

M/HAT is the best known poem I9,, in
" the world? Not Gray's "Ele-
gy." nor "'Thc Song of the
Shirt" nor THE Raven" but "The
Nigh; Before Christmas" The author
Is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name OF
Clement Clarke Moore was honOrcd us
never before. Above his grave in the
chapel Of Holy Trinity cemetery, New
York the choir boys sang carols on the
night eforc Christmas, and service

The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop of New York.
"rhe Night Before Christmas" was
published originally without the au-
thor's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas. 1873.
Moore had written II the preceding
Christmas just for the delight of his
own children, but Its circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle. and an
unknown f:lend sent II for publication.
The Sentinel readers laid no attention
to 1t. and II passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted II. The second reccp-
iion was very differen, from the first.
"a Visit From St Nicholas" rs IL was
then entitled. was copied broadcast,
and It's author awoke To find his work,
81 not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part Of
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning
and Greek and later of oriental lam
Euages.
Clement Moore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age Of thirty-flve, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote THE
Night Before Christmas" both died In
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived To the age of siXty-elght and
IS buried In the family plot.

was first published in the Troy Senti-

ROME, June 1.--Italy's great Of
fensive has already cost the Aus
trians 100000 men in killed, wound
ed and missing, according to con-
seryatiye estimates today
The Italians are now CONSOLIDATE
ing and reinforcing their lines with
new troops and refortifying posi-
tions, but continue to inflict fright
full losses on the enemy by repelliDg
|innumerable counter attacks.
From semi-official sources these
instances were obtained today, Illus
trating the tremendous losses of the
enemy's forces:
May 19 four divisions (approxi-
mately 10000 troops1, which vainly
defended positions between Auzza
and Frigido practically were wiped
out.
The next day two desperate at
tempts to recapture Allingortmont
positions, in the Vodice sector and
around Massif, cost the Austrians at
least three full regiments (nearly
5000 men).
Dispatches from the front today
declare these vast losses and the
ineessant pounding of Italian and
British guns achieved telling effect
upon the enemy. Prisoners tell of
exhausted regiments and losses of
morale.
General Cadorna called a halt in
his advance to permit bringing up
OF new supplies and preparations for
further attacks. 1t is stated that
the italians now hope to take Tri-
este with the smallest amount of
destruction possible to that historic
city. The guns of allied warships
in the gulf will not be directed on
the city if it is possible to avoid 1t.
Trieste's occupation now is consider
ed only question of weeks.
Reports received today declare
that the continued italian success
had created vast depression in Bohe-
mia, where there have been numer-
ous food riots and demonstrations
against the dual monarchy's grip.
