"Chariots of Iron" at Gaza.

History repeats itself down to min ute details, the London Star reminds us, and recalls previous operations at Gaza related in the Book of Joshua. It says:
 of that picturesque special corre- spondent to whom we owe the narra- tive of the sun and moon standing still In the valley of Aialon had witnessed the onslaught of General Allenby's auXiliaries, he might have pictured be- hemoth wallowing on the shore and leviathan rising out of the sea. It is related in the Book of Judges that though the tribe of Judah took Gaza, they could not drive out the inhabi- tants of the valley because they had chariots of iron
 following for the intervening cens lures which have transformed the 'chariots of Iron into tanks, we see that in this case the omens are in favor of the invaders, and we may reasonably hope that the clearing out of the Philistines will be final and com- plete.'

 "'Ah,' smiled Ybab, how happy that makes me! I always love to sing and play. 1 think l shall sing them q song like this, and Fairy Ybab waved her wand and sang:
 Music music makes us glad.
 'Crossness only makes us sad
 "'So let's be happy, bright and gay,
 "'And then we'll love both work and

 "That will be a fine song said the Fairy Queen. T ain sure tie Children will love it. Of course they will hear it while they sleep and when they awake they will have forgotten the words-but they will remember the meaning of the song
 "'And when shall we start?' asked the Princess Twilight-Bell.
 "Let's get started very soon.' said the Fairy Princess Joy.
 '''Oh yes, said Ybab in her silvery voice. I want to be singing all the time
 ""That is the way you must make the children feel, Ybab,' said the Fairy Queen. They must feel so happy ev- cry minute. They must be joyous and have such good times and make every

 And what is it?' asked Princess Twilight-Bell.
 "'Yes, tell us what the work is to be- said the Fairy Princess Joy.
 "'Shall we play and make music? asked Fairy Ybab.
 Dear me- said the Fairy Queen How can I ever answer so many questions at once?'
 ''The Fairies laughed and then wait ed for the Fairy Queen to tell them what she wanted them to do.
 "'When the New Year comes,' said the Fairy Queen, We must plan new work
 ''Oh yes agreed all the Fairies.
 "It needn't exactly be new said the Fairy Queen, but we must start off afresh in our work and get others to start off afresh too.'
 "'We shall do that said the Fairies.
 "And' continued the Fairy Queen, we shall all go forth today and whis- per secrets to the Children
 "'What sorts of secrets?' asked the Fairies.
 ".We shall tell them,' said the Fairy Queen, that to be happy they must be cheerful and pleasant. We will tell them to see how wonderfully it works just to give it fair trial. Tell them to get up every morning with bright smile for everyone they meet. And then they will see how much happier it makes everyone
 "That's a splendid idea said the Fairies.

Arkansas Woman Declares She Spent Many Dollars in Vain Attempt to Gain Relief
 From Troubles.

I've spent many dollar trying to gain relief from troubles that had bothered me for several years, but without success, until I began taking Orgatone. 1 certainly don't begrudge the few dollars I've paid for this medi- cine for it has proven to be worth many times the cost, in giving me such remarkable relief"
 Mrs. J. J. Carter of Argenta, Ark, made the above remarkable statement recently.
 For years" she continued, five suffered from stomach and kidney trouble and my system generally has been all run down. I was constipated and fell off in weight.
 "Well sir, as said, Orgatone has certainly been a great help in my case I have not only gained fourteen pounds in weight, but am feeling like a new woman. l now sleep well at night and get up in the morning feeling just dandy. No, sir, I'll not hesitate to recommend Orgatone to anyone" -- Orgatone is prepared from the orig lnal Kessinger formulaes and can be obtained only at the Orgatone dealer in your town, or sent prepaid upon receipt of price, $1 per bottle or six bottles for $5 by the Harry Kessinger Co.,, Joplin, Mo.-Adv.

TlOW TIC MduC w IiIOOW SdoliSSJ
 A young Welshman, woodWorker, applied at the work of building ma |: SiaI- company for E job. - "What can you do?" inquired the foreman in charge.

 Gan you make window sashes?" asked the foreman.
 Surely" was the laconic answer.
 "WelI, just take off your coat and let me see you make one.
 So Taffy set to work, while the fore man went off round the works. The first sash the new hand attempted was failure, so planting it under the bench, Taffy got ahead with second one, and had just finished it when the foreman returned and taking hold of the sash, said, Call that a sash, do yer? Don't believe I could find a worse one in the country"
 'Indeet," saiti the wood butcher, grinning, you may find ferry much worse one under the bench made from your own timber!a@

In Germany now there are advertise ments which are not only news, but Imply great deal outside of the direct news sought to be conveyed.

Better Than a Happy New Year.

There are better things sometimes, than having a happy New Year The lesson we learn in heaviness of heart, the experiences which try our patience and test our strength, are after all the things which make life worth while. If our friends wishes for happy New Year are not Fulfilled, it is because God has something better for us.

WHAT NEW YEARS SIGNIFIES
Time to Resume Another Journey of Life, Starting Out With
 Clean Slate.

The need of getting a convenient division of time into days and years which correspond with the movements of the earth and sun is not sufficient explanation of the New Years festival. That need is wholly mechanical, mathematical, and serviceable. The mood of New Years is not mechanical, mathematical, or serviceable. It is wholly one of abandon and needless ness.
 It is such because the day represents an accounting and sponging of the slate. Life needs renewed beginnings. ES cannot lead away e"ross unbroken
