Father Martin, who had been reading
the story of the three wise men who
brought their gifts TO the infant Jesus,
said to himself:
"If only tomorrow were the first
Christmas day and the Savior were

He arose and took from a shelf two

of Jesus himself said to him: Martin,
you have wished to see me. Watch
the street tomorrow from morning un-
til evening, for shall pass your way
When ne awoke the. next morning
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take

and then seated himself at the win

Some 400 Christmas boxes were re- ported, which is incomplete, as near ly all of the 12O boarding schools have service flags with stars ranging in number from a few to 200, and the pupils of these schools are very mind ful of their soldier representatives. One of the larger schools reported a students friendship war fund, with S75O on hand and twelve war savings societies. This school in four weeks bought 1000 thrift stamps and four teen baby bonds.
 On a small reservation far north, where the winters are long and se- we're and the Indian must struggle for the necessaries of life, more than one dollar per capita for every adult was paid in cash for the Red Cross and other welfare purposes.

THE ADVANTAGE OF MADNESS
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
By Ripley.


To all of my earnest and aspiring readers who want to Get On,
and Get Up, aud Get Rich, aud Get Famous, | would recommend the
Easiest Way.
ii is simply, to Go Crazy.
For is not our beings end and aim to be exclusive, one way
or another?
For instance, when Mrs Go,ro& buys a new hat, and pays for il
money enough for IN, upkccp OF . healthy baby for a year, II is not
values in ribbons aud feathers she seeks, but the value OF distinction.
For If she sees the cook or Stenographer with the same kind of hat,
she will wear hers never again. But, haven YOU noticed Il peculiar
distinction in the hcadgcar of crazs folk knew a woman when
was a boy who always wore a fra -ment OF a broom on her hat, and it
attracted quite rs much attention ~ any creation you can buy IN Fifth
Avenue for S5 Re hats, therefore, ladies, LEI me- recommend mad
ness as the simplest and cheapest way to get what YOU want.
Then. how many gentlemen are contracting artcrioNcleroSis and
diabetes in the great game OF making money What do they want with
function. MoncN means fences. The poorer the people the thinner
the partitions, down to the poorest who sleep unparutioned on th"
grass in the park.
None, does not make friends, it helps in escaping them, And

And in madness YOU get not only rxclu,ycncss, but also notOriety.
Cease. friend. your StrivngSi You do not have Ia become n famous
