Anniston, October 22-(special) Little, but oh, my!"
 The oldtime ejaculation of inexpres- sible admiration just fits the Blue Hens Fighting Chickens"-the game | cocks from Delaware.
 There are not very many of them at the camp; Delaware is & very small state. but the men who are there are "all there" and full of pep. They have been at the camp three weeks and have moved twice in that time. Up to last Sunday they had less than one day of regular drill and no holidays. They arrived one Sunday morning and spent all that day pitch ing their tents and strengthening out their impedimenta. The next Sunday they were moving to another camp site, having been consolidated, or rather absorbed into the One Hun dred and Fourteenth infantry.
 Like other units. they would have preferred to have retained their indi- vidual identity as a Delaware regiment and like other men, the game cocks would like to have had a holiday whenever the chance offered. But they did not grumble when they were ab- sorbed into the big regiment and they did not kick when they had to pull stumps instead of play baseball, be- through.
 Little, but oh, myH All they think of Is chance to get in the trenches and then lover the top" There is not many of them to start with, but no one expected Delaware to contribute as many men to the army as New York. Few as there were, their number is decreasing as the following men have been transferred to other units:
 First Lieut. W. J. Steckel has been transferred to the headquarters com pany of the One Hundred and Tenth field artillery and with him go the fol- lowing: Color Sergeants W. J. Stone and F. A. Shurter; Supply Sergeant W. J. Mckinney; Stable Sergeant Adam Shinsky; Horseshoer Charles H. Schmidt; Cooks Charles H. Grove and J. A. Kent; Horseshoer Charles H. Deputy and the following privates: M. R. Blank, R. o. Eaton, Roland Kitchens, George Sharpe, WEB Col lins, Oscar J. Malcolm and w. K. Adams.
 The following men from Company l., First Delaware, have been transferred to the One Hundred and Tenth field artillery: First Sergeant W. s. Veg geman. Mess Sergeant William Per ren, Sergeants w. L. Floherty, Louis Zebberly, Robert Butler and the fol- lowing privates: Stephen Butler, James Guessford, Raymond Kearney, Roland Francis and Ulmer Timmons Private Hobart Dunlap, Company K, First Delaware, has also been trans ferred to the One Hundred and Tenth fiel dartillery.

 Mir. Patton said the mayor told the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce meeting on July that "police work had got beyond his control" Congressman Raker here interrupted and said: You are big, strong man, physically and mentally. Why didn't you go and get 50 rifles and stand between that mob and the men and women they were mur- dering?"

WHAT an interest centered III
w that babe, wrapped in swad-
ding clothes, lying in man
ger at Bethlehem Prophets were
Interested, angels were interested,
the ages have been most deeply IN
terested since. The shepherds had
perhaps some premonition. The
seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy
were about fulfilled. 1t may be at
that very time they were talking OF
the coming of Christ.
Suddenly their attention was ar
rested by strange sight in the
heavens. 1t grew brighter and took
the form of an angel, and then they
heard a voice announcing the birth
of Christ as glad tidings for all peo-
pie. not to the Jews only. Then
suddenly the air was filled with an
gels singing as if they had come
right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears,
"Glory to God in the highest" etc.
We know not who those angels were,
but we fancy they were the redeem
ed. Adam was there; Eve was
there. Eve, who in her maternal
earnestness declared at the birth Of
her firstborn, 81 have got a man
from the Lord" hoping that that
was he who should bruise the ser
pent's head. Now, in the fullnes'
of time she had come to witness thu
birth of the babe who was to be th'
Saviour Of her race. David, Elijah
Moses, the patriarchs, we believe
were with the heavenly host.
This song reveals three things:
First.-The glorifcation of Co
through the incarnation. God ma
glory through his vast work In ma
! fure, his providence building up an
casting down nations, etc.
In the incarnation there was spt
cial glory. 1t was glory to God 1

ABOVE an otner glory, IN that it ex-
tended to all time and in that it
wrought such wondrous good.
Second.-The great results to the
earth. 1t would result in peace.
Strifes, thorns and thistles were
Astounding. The earth was torn and
bleeding by constant contention.
With Christ came peace. The result
would be universal peace.
Third.-The effect on the individ-
ual man. Good will toward men"
from one another, from God. Out
of this good will would finally spring
peace on earth and glory to God in
the highest.-Dr. Matthew Simpson.

To Make a True Christmas.

Don't forget the lonely, the suffering,
the poor, on Christmas. Remember
that the first and greatest Christmas
gift was sent not to the rich and pow
erful, but to the poor and needy. Give
to those who are near and dear to you,
but somewhere, somehow, in your ordi-
nary life find some one who is near
and dear to no one else and make
Christmas for him or her.

GIRL VICTIM OF
 MEN WHO LIKE
 TO TIE HER UP

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-(Spec- iaD-In what weird web of fate has Airline Coldwater, 16, become en- tangled?
 A grim, whimsical Nemesis has three times, in the dead of night, sought out the girl in her bed, and two times the hunt has been success full. There followed most terrify- ing experience, the fearSome opera tionS being exactly the same on both occasions.
 All Salt Lake is agog trying to solve the riddle of these peculiar at tackS.
 Awakened at 1 a. m.
 Recently the girl was awakened at in the morning to find the dark forms of two men at her bedside. Before she could scream a hand clos ed over her lips. A gag was placed roughly between her teeth and bound around her head. In spite of her struggles she was carried to a gran ary in the rear of the Coldwater home. Then came the intensely iendiSh feature of the mysterious assault. The men bound her ankles, tied her wrists together with a rope, throwing the loose end over a rafter. The rope was frightened slowly. The girl was drawn upward until her toes barely touched the floor. The entire proceed ing was carried out in silence. The , two men looked at each other, Smil- ed, and disappeared.
 They Returned
 Four hours later the gh managed to work the gag loose. She was hys- terical and half conscious when re- leased.
 This was the second visit. A few nights before the mysterious pair had attempted to capture her, but she escaped, her screams arousing the neighbOrhood.
 A week or 50 later she endured similar experience. Her room was entered again at 3 in the morning. She was awakened by the men at her bedside. Again hand stopped her cries. Again the gag was put in her mouth. Then the unScruplouS asSai- lantS carried her to the granary aud lef, her hanging by the wrists, her body, covered only by nightdress, exposed to cold weather.
 Police Puzzled
 Hours later she once more slipped the gag from her mouth. Her screams attracted a neighbor. She collapsed when she was cut down.
 The police are puzzled The nature of the knots and the peculiar way in which she was drawn up from the floor preclude any possibility of the girl having tied herself. No violence beyond that necessary to subdue her struggles has been offered her. Rob bery is not the motive of the attacks. Nothing was touched in the house ex- cept the girl.
