ALirTLE BOY AND GIRL

Once little boy and girl were
sent to town to get a loaf of bread
for their mother. The girls name
was Martha and the boys name
was Gerald. When they got to the
store Martha and Gerald found that
they did not have but four cents.
So they said, 1--WE will Just buy
some candy and eat 1t on the way
home. then tell mother they did
not have any bread" They got
the candy and started home. On
their way home they met an old
tramp. They became so frightened
that they dropped their candy and
ran home as fast as they could.
When they got home their mother
asked them where the bread was.
They told her what they had spent
the money for. but they said they
would never do 1t again.-Mildred

We decided to play in the boats.
While we were in the boats pad

boat a push with her stick and
away it went. We dared not move

began to cry. We called. After
a while We saw Mrs. Farren and

THE CAPTIVE BOY

One time, more than fifteen hun
dred years ago. some ships Of King
Mall, of Ireland. were returning
home from wild foray upon the
coast of Gaul (now France.) They
were full of fierce soldiers. who
had been engaged in the terrible
work of war. These men carried
with them some sad-hearted prison
ers. whose fate it was to be sold
into slavery. Among them was a
delicate boy Of only fifteen years.
who was thus torn away from his
devoted parents. and from home
that had ever been frightened with
Christian love.
Patrick was the name of this
youth. We may picture him as
fair-haired. blue-eyed boy. whose
every feature betokened .gentless
and virtue. Poor Patrick! How
terrible must it have been for him
to contemplate his fate.--a life Of
slavery in a heather land. unpaid
and never ending toll. with beat
ings and curses from day to day!
Probably there was no one on
board the ship with him who could
offer the slightest word of hope
that the captive should ever again
behold his loved parents. his home.
or his friends.
Certainly there was none In all
the company who could foresee the
wonderful importance Of that voy-
age to the world in all succeeding
ages. Had all the kings of the
earth then living-and there were
many OF them-been gathered up
on King Malls decks. with their
greatest generals and wisest coun-
sellers. the company would have
represented an influence pitifully
small upon the future Of the ma
tons of the earth.--John w. Web

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Jan. 6:-The
laboring mans government OF Rus-
STA has out Unanswered the auto
cratic government of Germany IN
the Brest-Litovsk peace parleys.
1t has put the kaiser in the posi-
ton of trying to carry water on
both shoulders.
Unwittingly or not, Trotsky and
Lenine are just at this time working
exactly in line with America In Pres-
ident Wilson'S plans to encourage the
German people to throw off the yoke
OF their autocratic masters.
Russia's peace talk is poisoning
Germany. 1t is a poison gas that the
Germans first used after the hus.
sian revolution that is now being
blown back On them. The Russians
are showing to the German democ-
racy that German autocracy is de-
cetying it. They have shown that
the kaiser is not on the square.
Trotsky and Lenine had the am
bilious idea-going beyond President
Wilson's idea of the plan people
working out their own salvatlon-of
having these same plain people or all
nations get together and demand an
end of war. The German arm1stlce
was part of this plan. The Russian
council of workmen and soldiers,
representing as far as 1t was pos
sible, the plain people OF RUSSIA,
thrust out it's hands toward the de-
mocracy of Germany.
They saw a hand extended from
Germany in the vague mists of Ger
- II voc not q CLEARLY
defined hand, but the Russians grasp
cd il in the hope it might be that of
their democratic brothers in Ger
many.
Only a few days of negotiations
showed instead of having grasped
the horny hand of democracy, they
had shaken a hand bearing the gaunt-
let of militarism. That hand clasp
is broken today. The Russian dream
of reaching through and beyond mill
tarism and kaiserism to the German
common people, has been shattered.
If there is a German democracy,
such as the Russians hoped to en-,
counter. 1t lies behind the stone wall
of the kaiser's militarism. Proof
| that it exists Is in the fact that the
autocrats are preventing Russians
from dropping pamphlets behind the
German lines and that Foreign Min.
lister Won Kuehlmann will not per
NIT German socialists to go to Stock
holm to confer officially with Rus
sian liberals.
If Lenine and Trotsky cannot reach
the German people now, they must
! try to batter down the wall between
them and their German fellows. In
other words, they must again join
the allies and help to fight the way
through to a rescue OF the German
people.
