REMINDER OF PAST DAYS
Authors Depletion of Tourist" Printer Will Be Recognized as Drawn
 From Life.

Thrilling adventures of the old Jour neyman printers are contained in "These Shifting Scenes" by Charles Edward Russell. These wanderers roamed from town to town, denoune' Ing everything outside of New YorK as unfit for consideration, and returning by way of freight trains once year for visit to that Mecca of journalists' Mir. Russell describes a typical mem- Der of the guild, one "Scotty."
 "This solid and sorry ragamuftin had so often escaped violent death that ne was convinced of a destiny to ole oI disease and was far more fearful or drinking contaminated water than or riding on car trucks Once as he chung to the bumpers of a freight car naa or intoxicated brakeman had hred nVe revolver shots at him and every shot had clipped or gone through Scottys hat. Whereupon. the brakeman' prop ably convinced that he had seen ghost, leaped from the train and WAS killed.
 Several times Scotty had been In train wreeks. Once the car was on fire and he was pinned down by a pie of joIst, but two brakemen worked with frenzled zeal until they freed him and saved his life; and then pur- sued him down the track pelting him with coal for stealing a ride.
 His walking experiment was mace in 1874 when business was depressed and the country was full of tramps. He joined colony of these and so great was the terror they inspired that the farmers used to come every morn ing with presents of chicken and milk {; but as a matter of fact the trampS were the most harmless of men. one had been a clergyman and used to re- prove the others for swearing"

Tibet Takes Up Mar Cana

Tibet is engaged in c footing expe- dltion, just as she has been for cen. turIes. She has invaded Szechuan, a border state of China. The only sig. nificance this has during the present world war, according to the Philadel. phia Evening Bulletin, Is that some thousand years before Solomon was born, Tibet boasted of high state of civilization, as did her neighbor Sze. chuan. But ages of warfare have made Tibet the domain of half savage ma. rauders. Tibet boasts the sacred city of Lhasa, the seat of official Buddhism, where sQualor, art, religion and high pretenslOns are mixed in inextrlcable confusion.

"Whcre did they go? That is what

! of making the world not only happy
but safc-safe for women and little
! children and home love. There is great
need for this sympathy in the everyday
| lives of all of us. Cares arc more nurner-
| GUS than ever before II costs more to
satisfy every day needs. We need the
stimulation of Christmas loving-time to
