Extend Helpinu Hand.

Many of the worlds failures would
have been splendid successes. II, in
their struggling stage. some one had
reached out helping hand to them

ness of disappointment crushed them.
There Is. indeed, moral here. The
woman Isn't living who cannot do some
bit OF good. Then let her lose no
time in doing tin Offering the word
OF hope or encouragement which ID
the greatest stimulus the world ever

Germany's reply to President viii
sons last peace note looks like a
clumsy effort TO wash her hands of
the many atrocities of which she has
been guilty on sea and land, and the
open door to further negotiations for
an armistice. The most significant
feature of it is the statement that a
parliamentary form OF government
has been established in Germany.

CHRISTMAS FOR KATIE, MAY AM
OTHERS.

Two little girls were sitting by tbo
Gre one night in 7 coy sitting room.
Each was writing Santa a letter. tell
ing what they wanted for Christmas.
Ihey were not to let each other see
their letters until after Christmas. so
tEcy would be surprised Christmas.
Mary was lisht-headed. had real hIuc
eyes. and was not so very nice and
pleasant to everyone. However. she
was not AS good she could have
hocn sic Was eleven yeas; Kate
was 4 little girl Of nearly eleven years
she had dark brown hair and eyes. and
WAS always pleasant to everyone she
met young old
This is the way Mary's letter went:
Dear Nj. santa Claus.-Bring me Il
DOH. doll-hcd and carriage. n pair Of
skates. a sled. Il Mother Goose Book,
some puzzles and few riddle books.
! want new vase TO put ms covers IN.
| want "a bracelet. n ring. 4 l3cHct.
can't think of anything else JUS now.
but ii you can think - anything else.
please bring it to my Christmas
trcc.---Mary."
Here IS katic's letter: Dear Santa.
--l'lcnsc bring Mrs. Brown over across
the street a new dress or two, and "a
hat Please take her little girl Lucy "A
doll and new coat. rs her mothers
very poor, and send little Joe Brown a
sled aud Il pair of shoes, as his shoes are
old. ana hes never rode on Il sled; aud
please give the poor crippled tauS across
thc street a wheel chair. as she cannot
walk; and please give poor little Grip
pied Josie Lark u doll and other pretty
toys. To keep her happy, in the drcary
winter days, and IL YOU have anything
left over. please l would love to have
a watch bracelet. a doll and pair OF
skates. Good night.--katic."
When Christmas came Santa had put
l"!l. watch bracelet and Il pair or
skates and lots OF good things to eat
"n tho Christmas tree for Katie. But.
alas, nothing on the tree for Mary but
n pair OF skates and n note tied to them
from Santa: You have asked for too
much. Read Entic's letter. You were
selfish. hut Katie wasn't. You think
too much of yourself. Try and do bet
ter for next Chr!stmas.--Santa Claus"
Mrs. Brown got two new dresses and
new hat. Little Lacy got 4 new warm
FUR coat and u doll. and some good
things to cat The wheel chair was
Gi""n to the poor crippled lady, and
some nice Christmas things to eat. too.
To Josie Lark was given pair of
clutches. n DOH. and nuts. candy AMI
ORANGES. To little Joe Brown was sent

lots Of good things to eat.
So We see how Mary was punished
