my eyes to the immediate gaps in our ranks. Our universities are em- pity. Oxford and Cambridge gave eight thousand of their undergradu- ates to the army in the first year of the war, and be it remembered, no matter what view. may be held as to the value of university education, these young men were the. future rulers of the British empire, its prime ministers, it's secretaries of state, it's judges, it's governors of far-off lands, it parliamentarians, lawyers, profes- sors, scientisists, it's undoubted lead CTS in every branch of thought ana endeavor. That is part of the price asked of us for choosing to support Right as against Might, and it is a heavy impost in itself. Again, we have lost nearly every officer and man of that small but superbly eff cient army which we threw into France early in August, 1914. Odd ly enough, that army, a paid one, 'nev- CT thought of its own interests in the great game of life and death to which 1t was committed. Sir Walter Raleigh, professor of English literature at OK ford university, has put this phase of Britain's entry into the war SO clear ly that I must quote him:
 ''We have sometimes fought in the past for doubtful causes and for wrong causes, but this time there is no mistake. Our cause is better than we deserve, we embraced it by an act of faith, and it is only by continuing in that faith that we shall. see it through. The little old army, when they went to France in August, 1914, did not ask what profits were likely to come their way. They knew that there were none, but they were will ing to sacrifice themselves to save decency and humanity from being trampled in the mud. This was the army that the Germans called mer- ,cenary army, and its epitaph has been written by good poet:
 These, in the day when heaven was
 falling.
 The hour when earth's foundations
 lied,
 Followed their mercenary calling, And took their wageS and are dead. Their shoulders held the heavens sus.
 pended,
 They stood, and earth's foundations
 stay,
 What God abandoned these defended, And saved the sum of things for pay, We must follow their example, for we
 shall never get better dayi"

I paid lsttle attention to it at first, but in a short while I commenced to have headaches, which kept getting worse until I could hardly stand them. These awful headaches with the worry about my condition seemed to undermine my whole system and my general health got to be bad. My appetite left me, my stomach got in terrible condition and I was down in bed for several weeks. What little manag- ed to eat seemed to do me harm instead of good, and it would ferment causing gas and intense pain I was very restless at night, would doze off for while and then wake up and roll and tess for hours. was tired and sluggish all the time, and never felt equal to my work.

WILSON WILL HEAD
PEACE COMMISSION
APPOINTS FOUR PEACE ENJOYS
AND Will GO ALONG TO
COUNSEL AND ADVISE.
Secretary Lansing, Ambassador White,
Colonel House and General Bliss :
Are Appointees Who VIII Be
Nations Representatives.

washington.Th The representatives of
the United States at the peace confer
ence Will be: President Wilson; Rob
ert Lansing, secretary Of state; Henry
White, former ambassador to France
and Italy; General Tasker II. Bliss,
representative Of the American army
with the supreme council at YER
sailles.
This announcement was made No
yember 20 at the White House. In
the absence of any official explanation,
1t was assumed that the president
goes as president Of the United States,
and that Secretary Lansing, Mr. White
and Colonel House, and possibly also
General Bliss, win be delegates with
ambassadorial rank.
1t was recalled that the presidents
announcement that he would go to
France "for the purpose Of taking
part I'M the discussion and settlement
Of the main features of the treaty Of
peace" said that it was not likely that
he could remain throughout the ses-
sions Of the peace conference, and that
I
he would be accompanied by dele
gates who will sit as the representa-
tives of the United States throughout
the conference"
Secretary Lansing, who heads the
delegation proper, became secretary Of
state in, June, 1915. when William j..
Bryan resigned rather than sign note
to Germany in the Lusitania case
which he thought might lead to war.
Mr.. White, the Republican of the
delegation, is a diplomat of long ex-
perience.
Colonel Il. M. House has never held
public office, but as President VIII
sons personal friend and adviser, he is
credited generally as having played a
greater part in the present admins
tration than any other man except the
president himself.
General Bliss, who formerly was
chief of staff of the army, went to
Europe last December with an Ameri-
can mission and later was permanently
assigned as the American military rep
resentative on the inter-allied council
at Versailles.

The Ancient nninlI.

The quipu reached its most elaborate
form among the Peruvians, from whose
language the term "quipu," meaning
"knot,p is borrowed. 1t consists of a
mnin cord, to which are fastened at
given distances thinner cords Of diff
ferent colors. each cord being knotted
in divers ways for special purposes,
and each color having its own signifi-
canoe. Red strands stood for soldiers,
yellow for gold. white for silver, green
for corn, and so forth, While a single
knot meant ten, two knots meant TWEEN
~, double knots two hundred. Such
simple devices served manifold pur-
poses. Besides their convenience In
reckoning, they were used for keeping
the annals of the empire Of the Incas ;
for transmitting orders to outlying
provinces; for registering details OF
the army.

@5eatlns the Bounds" In Virginia, al
Least, Drew Together Neigh
boris From Far and Near.

Beating the bounds" was spe-
cially important duty In the colonies,
where land surveys were imperfect,
land grants irregular, and the bound
aries of each mans farm or planta-
ton at first very uncertain. In Vir-
ginia this beating the bounds was
called provisioning" Landmarks
were renewed that were becoming OBJ
liberated; blazes on a tree would be
somewhat grown over - they were
deeply recut; piles of great stones
containing certain number for des-
ignation were sometimes scattered
the original number would be re-
stored. Special trees would be found
fallen or cut down; new marking
trees would be planted, usually pear
trees, as they were long-liyed Dis
puted boundaries were decided upon
and announced to all the persons pres
ent, some Of whom at the next 'pro-
cessioning" would even be able to
testify as to the correct line. This
processioning took place between
Easter and Whitsuntide, that lovely
season of the year In Virginia and
must have proved a pleasant reunion
OF neighbors, hfay-party. In New
England this was called .'perambu-
lating the bounds" and the surveyors
who took charge were called "peram-
bulators" or 'boundsgoers.' Alice

tain packages This puzzled him. for
his mamma had told him there would
be no gifts this year and he did not
expect any except what Santa Claus
would bring. Bobby asked bis moth
err IL what SHE brought In was intend
ed for Christmas, but she gave him
MO satisfaction. though she took him
In her arms and gave him a bear hug
ana a dozen kisses. she seemed ns
happy as II she expected Santa Claus
to bring everything she wanted for
Christmas.
The dny before Christmas q mes
aenger boy came with q telegram for
Mrs. Sawyer. She toreson the enyel-
ope and read II, and looked very hap

when Bobby kept asking again and
again what IL 1t mammaT' she gave
him another bear hug and smothered
him with kisses.
Bobby had sister, Edith, twelve
years old, and brother Jim, ten. Both
OF them we're too old to sympathiZe
with Bobby In his faith in Santa Claus
bringing him the gift he had promised
him In his letter. Indeed they didn't
believe Santa Claus really wrote let
tiers to children. Bobby tried his best
to get out Of Edith or Jim what made
their mother so happy, but they would
not tell. Indeed they seemed almost
as happy as she. Having failed with
them Bobby tried Peter the postman.
Peter said he suspected Santa Claus
had something to do with the family
happiness, but he was not sure. SO
poor Bobby was obliged to swallow his
curiosity and wait for Christmas morn
ing
Bobby went to bed on Christmas eve
determined to resist the sandman and
keep his eyes open all night, so that
he might get glimpse OF Santa Claus
and see what his remarkable gift was.
But the sandman soon began to drop
sand In Bobby's lids, and he was asleep
In ten minutes after his head struck
the pillow.
When Bobby awoke the sun was
quite high I'm the heavens. He heard
the word "Bobbyi'' shouted In his ears
and Mt the same time felt himself gent
ly shaken. He did not awaken by de-
grees, but all at once. And there
standing before him and looking down
upon him, smiling, was his papa.
"Why, papai" he exclaimed, 81

her capacity, Premier Lloyd George de-
clared in a speech here. The subma-

premier added, and whoever deyastat-

to be responsible for 1t. Referring
TO the culpability of the authors

There Is tremendous demand today

there are any historic associations at

lous prices. There are plenty of ia
bles in the country possessing real his
toric interest, but none of them is in
