THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS.

On Good Friday, the devotion
known as the way Of the Cross, is
carried out in every Catholic chapel
and church in the whole world. Even
where there is no resident priest, as
frequently is the case in country dis
tricts, the people assemble and one
person reads the short meditation
said at each Of the stations" The
stations" are representations, by
means Of pictures or groups Of statu-
airy, Of the principal scenes that took
place on the road along which our
Saviour was led by His eXecutiOners
from the hall of Pontius PLATE, where
He was condemned TO death, to Mount
Calvary, the place Of His cruciiXion.
This is the reason the beautiful devo-
ton is called Via Crucis, the Way of
the Cross, or Via Dolorosa, the Road
of Sorrows.
The latter designation is also the
name by which the route of Jesus to
Calvary is actually known by the
Christian people who live in The city
of Jerusalem today which road is one
of the interesting features that at
tract pilgrims when visiting the holy
places. Every Friday of the year the
Via DOlorosa in Jerusalem is trav-
ersed by all who wish and have leis-
ure to take part in the devotion, which
is conducted by priest from one Of
the monasteriea./
The site OF the First Station was
the court chamber Of PLATE, known
as Citadel Antonio in the times of
Christ. Upon the ruins of this castle
there stands today a Turkish bar
racks and here the First Station is
prayed Nearby is the Ecce Homo
arch.
Every Friday Franciscans pray the
Way of the Cross, Turkish guards
obtaining passage for them through
the narrow and crowded thorough
fares. Pilgrims usually make it a
point to accompany this Franciscan
procession on Friday afternoons.
The Second Station was at the foot
of the outer staircase leading from
the courtroom to the street. The
place is marked. Two hundred and
thirty-three yards west is the site OF
the Third Station at, the end of the
street, Sitti Marian. Thirty-seyen
yards southwark is the Fourth Sta
ton, the site of which is the property
of the Copts, who have erected a
beautiful chapel there. The actual
Via Dolorosa, narrow lane, begins
twenty-three yards west of the Fourth
Station. A chapel marks the site
of the Fifth Station. Near this spot
also is the House of Simon Of Cy-
rene, who was forced to assist Our
Lord in carrying His Cross, because
the Jews feared He might die before
reaching Calvary. The Sixth Station
is located in small room of an an
cient Jewish home farther along on
the ascending street, in which a group
represent our Lord bearing. the
Cross, standing before the kneeling
figure of Veronica, who offers Him a
towel.
The spot chosen as the place of the

Second FALL or Seventh Station is
at the side of noisy and busy por-
ton OF the street. 1t is shown by a
metal tablet above a doorway through
massive wall, which is said to be
part Of the enclosure OF ancient Jer-
usalem. Beyond the door is an ora
tory kept by the FrancisCans and to
the right a remaining column OF the
masonry that made the west gate of
the city, which was known as the
Gate Of Judgment, because the SEN
fences Of the condemned were posted
there. 1t is declared to be beyond a
doubt that Jesus suffered His second
fall at this gate.
The Eighth Station, in which
Jesus meets the women of Jerusa-
lem" is distinguished by the presence
of granite cross set in the wall of
the German hospice, which stands
more than fifty yards beyond the old
west wall Of Jerusalem. This wall
was destroyed and the city extended
until it included even the hill of Cal
vary. A broken shaft on the left side
of the entrance to a COptic church
and convent situated Off the busy
street is, the Ninth Station, the third
fall OF Jesus.
/. The last five of the fourteen Sta
tons are within the Basilica, or
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which
is built over the rock of Calvary
Four of the Stations are on a plat
form Of stone built on the right of the
entrance to the court of the great
Basilica, and which is on a level
with the summit of the rock, the spot
where Jesus was crucified. The plat
form is the floor of a chapel within
which are pointed out the places
where Jesus was stripped of His
garments" nailed to the cross, >
died on the cross" There are three
affairs. Two are Catholic affairs and
one belongs to the Russian Church.
At these are recited the tenth, elev-
enth, twelfth and thirteenth Stations
The fourteenth and last Station of
the Via Dolorosa is at the Holy Sepul-
chre of our Lord, which is underneath
the dome of the Basilica. The his
tory of the devotion of the Way of
the Cross is most interesting, as, in
deed, is every thing connected with
the Catholic religion. This devotion
has grown and become general, al
though. it was not commonly prac-
.tised in the early centuries. AS
Christianity became established the
story of Christ's sufferings awakened
interest in the Holy Places" and in
order to wrest them from the control
of unbelievers the crusades were
undertaken by Christian princes and
warriors. This interest instead of dy-
ing out seems to increase with the
passing centuries, and those who can
do so make pilgrimages to Jerusalem,
some to satisfy curiosity, perhaps, but
very many through sentiments of
Christian piety. In the stations of
the Cross" Catholics have a form of
devotion, which enables them to visit
in thought the scenes OF Our Lords
passion and death and to mediate
piously upon the terrible snfferings
He endured for the salvation of the
human race.

Not to be outdone by other manu- facturing companies about the state the American Paper Goods company as making preparations to have some of it's unused land plowed up for the use of the employees. The officers of the concern have had so much pusi- hess on hand that they have been un- able to attend to the matter up to the present time but as soon as pos sibie 8 canvass of the employees will be taken in order to learn the exact number that intend to cultivate the land. After the canvass has been 6ompleted arrangements will be made for the amount of land to be plowed and fertilized. At the Berlin Con- struction company no arrangements have been made for gardens for the men and as the company has very little land in the town that is not covered with buildings there is not much likelihood that anything will be done in regard to the matter. Most } of the men employed by the concern five in Berlin and have land of their own which they have already planted or made arrangements to plant.
 
 many that have only small gardens are taking hold of the states scheme for increased production in fine shape and every day number of blanks are returned to the town clerks office. During the past week about fifty of the blanks have been returned and all that have signed them have signi- Aed their intentions of planting number of acres more during the com ing summer. A trip through the farming district will convince one that the men are sincere in their in- tentions for on all sides there is land In tho process of cultivation and for s the most part 1t Is land that has not E y5en the piow previous to this year.

Orders summoning Major General John J. Pershing from the border to Washington have aroused much spec ulation. Reports have been heard that the generals visit is connected with the subject of selecting a com mander for a military expedition to France. General Pershing is known to have the confidence of administra- tion officials because of his record as commander of the punitive expedi- ton in Mexico. Since the bulk of the regular army now is under his

 Too Much Mother r-in-Law.
 Marital troubles developing from too much mother-in-law and g star boardler caused the breaking up of the home of Franklin L. King of this town, according to the story which he recited in the superior court yester-s day when he appeared before Judge Gager to plead for a divorce from his wife, Ila E., ,Loomis King. According to the plaintiff he was married to the woman in New Haven on July 27. 1909. He admitted that he made the mistake of taking his own mother and his mother-in Jaw to live in hfs home. The combination nyoved dis astrous and the little nipples on the matrimonial sea developed into waves which threatened to engulf the fam- fly. .s.
 Impetus to their dif1culties was giv.. on when Kings wife took in a male boarder and began to Ego around with him." The boarder was finally forced to leave on Kings order. In Septem- Der I, 1915. Kings wife also departed. and he told the judge she went to New Britain to live withs the former boarder. She is now m Smyrna, N. Y.. her home town- <.s i4 .';s.
 The evidence, Judge eGaEer~ constd-- cred, was conslsive enough to war; rant a divorce and he granted the decree.

Teutonic Officials in Washington Say
Proffer Made Some Time Ago
Presupposed Draw.

Washington, Jan. 2a-Germany will
not enter league of peace If she is
.decisively beaten.
This at least, is what German
sources here had to offer upon the sit
;uation. The reference in the British
mote to the necessity for some form OF
international sanction behind treaty
agreements and international law,
drew from German sources the au-
thoritative statement that under no
consideration would Germany enter a
league to preserve peace if she should
emerge from the war much more great
ly damaged than her enemies.
The Central Powers were represent
ed as believing that the proposal to
establish such a league at the end OF
this war cannot be realized if the ulti-
mate result of the conflict is such as to
permit a completely victorious set OF
belligerents to impose its own terms
upon the vanquished, which would be
the case if the Allies ever should be
in a position to impose as terms the
objects stated in it's note to the Presi-
dent.

SCORES PROPOSED EMBARGO
North Dakota Senator Defends Farm
ers' Right to High Price,

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Por-
ter J. McCumber of North Dakota, in
a speech in the senate, scored propo-
sails to lay an embargo on foodstuffs
because of the high cost of living.
He asserted that the farmer is getting
a fair price for his products for the
first time in "a years, but only as re-
suit Of the war and short crop. To
prevent him getting this fair price by
legislation he denounces as unfair and
the result. of the attempts of one class
to injure.another so as to keep up it's
own extravaganza.
