8O8 PATIENTS AT
CAPEHOSPITAL IN
YEARJUSTCLOSED
Increase Of Fifty Per Cent
Over Previous Twelve
Months Is Shown
ST. FRANCIS KNOWN
AS MODEL HOSPITAL
Is One Of Tha Bost Surgical
Nurses In Country-Doctors
Laud Institution.

TIE number of patients treated at
the st. Francis Hospital during the
var Of 1917 was, sos or twce as many
& were there during the first year
the hospital occupied its new building.
The number Of patients at the hoSpl-
tai in 1916, its second year, was about
600, showing that the past year made
a fifty per cent gain over the previous
twelve months.
The remarkable growth of the hos
pital is due, doctors say, to the fact
that Southeast Missouri is just begin
hing to realize that Cape Girardeau
has E hospital the equal Of any in St.
Louis, although it is ratul ally some
what smaller.
St. Francis has one OF the mos.
noted surgical nurses in the United
States. Size is Sister LiGwina. She
has been exc usively a surgical nurse
for almost twenty-five years, during
which time she has assisted the great
cst surgeons in the United States in
tho operating room.
For more than tWGity years she
served in tie Catholic Hospitals Of
Minnesota. where she assisted the Ma
yo brothers. vino are considered Amer
ica's foremost surgeons. One Of the
best known surgeons in the county re-
csnty remarked to representative
CT The Tribune that were it not for the
expert advice of Sister Liowina, some
Southeast Missouri surgeons would
have to quit operating.
Because she is constantly AZ the hos
p.tal is one reason why the st. Fran
els institution gets so many surgica
cases. DR.. Bartlett, called the best
surgeon in St. Louis, pronounced the
operating room at the St. Francis Hos
pital as complete and modern as any
in St. Louis.

December Comes

Flowers and foliage have van
tshed and the winds arc cold and
piercing. The birds. insects. wild
folk-eyerything seeks shelter
from the wintry blasts OF Decem-
Der.
This month. like the three pre-
ceding ones. derives It's name from
the place 1t held in the old Roman
calendar when the year was divided
only into ten months. The name,
as you can see, comes from the
Latin word deem, which indicates
ten.
In this month the Romans cele-
brate their Saturnalia, which was q
holiday for games and feasts in
honor Of the goddess Vesta, or
purity. The Saxons called Deem
Der "Winter-Monat" because of the
winter season. After their con-
version to Christianity they called
the month "Heiligha- Monat," or
Holy Month, on account of the Ma
tivity of the Saviour.
The twenty-first Of this month is
st. Thomas Day and falls upon the
shortest day of the year. But of all
days we remember the best in De-
cember, the 25th, is the greatest
For weeks we have been busy over
plans Of expressing our love to
others, for It is the day Christ
Jesus was born to bring better
understanding of the Father to the
hayward children of Earth
In many homes the old-time Gus
tom Of burning Yule log is still
observed It is an ancient cere-
mony of the Scandinavians, who at
their feast of JUL used to kindle
bonffres In honor of the god Thor.
At the present day the Yule log sig
nifies that all who come within a
radius Of its glow are forgiven all
debts, animosities, and i'll will, for
the circle about the fire must be
one of love and friendship.
In England, the children sniff
the odor of the huge plum pudding
and shout merrily in anticipation Of
it's triumphal appearance on the
festive board. In Italy and France
sweet voices greet the Christmas
dawn with carols that have been
well learned. In Germany and the
northerly countries Christmas
means the time for general gift-giv-
ing to rich and poor and all keep
whole week of festivities. In
America we follow the example of
all our European brethren and thus
fill Christmas Day with much love
and joy and general giving to
others-Bdookly Eagle Junior

JEANETTE'S PET LAMB

Not every little girl, of course,
could expect to have a nice, we'll
behaved. gentle little lamb for
pet and playmate. But Jeanette
Olney, who is only four and a half
years old, has one and we are sure
that she would like to have other
girls and boys know something
about it.
Mr.. Olney. Jeannette's father, is
a member of the Yakima tribe of
Indians in the State Of Washing
ton. He is a very busy man and
probably the only Indian humane
officer among all the different
tribes. Now Mr.. Olney is not only
a stakeholder in the big bank at
Wapato, the only Indian bank in
the United States, but he also has
lot Of live stock out on the rang
es. That is where the lamb was
born: and It was SO very small and
weak that its own mother couldn't
take care Of It. So a kind herder
took 1t up and carried it in HIS
pocket for six whole weeks and
fed It with his own hands. It was
then that the little fellow was CIV
en- to Jeanette and she at once
named It BOBBY. which probably
means something nice in the In
dian language.
BOBBY has grown fast and is now
six months old. It won't be long
before It will be grown-up sheep.
surely before Jeanette gets to be
q grown-up girl.

Ter is Canadian soldier wound

Austria put fearful demands on Ser
bia, much harder than justice could
ask. Serbia humbled herself and
accepted almost all of the terms set
by Austria, but this did not satisfy
Austria.
On the twenty-eighth of July in
1914, Austria declared war on Ser
bia. By this time it was seen that
the war had been anticipated by
Austria and Germany and they had
just taken the assassination of the
Grown Prince as the opportunity to
begin war. Any murder is terrible
"a beggar the same as a prince, be-
cause life is sacred-but 1t was not
enough in itself to start war.
And SO, just as at the beginning
of games or races, glove is
dropped or a pistol is fired, SO this
assassination Of the Austrian
prince, which took place at Seraje-
vo, Bosnia, In June, 1914, was the
signal to those who were planning
the race, that it was time to begin.

The BEGINNING OF the War

us, in a surprised Lonesome one
who knows the European nobility
better than we dc.
But bark! What is the mad
scramble of the great crowd of peo-
pie on the stage! They seem to be
surging toward the steps where the
Grown Prince is slowly descending.
Suddenly we hear a low, hoarse
whisper from one dark-faced man
in the crowd to another, "Remem-
Der the bomb that failed us before,
aim straight, this time!"
Then rang out tire loud shots in
swift succession screams, mad
rush, a wild scramble follows
people from inside the big building
rush out, the crowd quickly scat
tiers.
"They die!" someone says in
low tones as they bend over the
PROSTATE forms of Francis Ferdi-
nand and his wife. The Princess
is dead. The Prince raises him
self slightly and calls forth with all
the strength he has left tits war!
It's war! It's war;" With that he
dies.
Then the curtain falls-all the
lights of the theater come on-the
play is over. We look around us.
Many in the audience appear joy
full, many look satisfied under
standing European plays more than
we do. but we who come expect
ing a pleasant play, were struck
dumb at first with surprise and as
constituent.
We look at our programs again,
and read that the time of the last
scene was June %. 1914 and the
place was Seraievo, the capital of
Bosnia, a little Austrian province,
but that does not help very much.
So we put on our wraps and leave
the theater, still in amusement.
But when we get out doors and
the fresh air makes us thing more
calmly. we begin to think of many
things we had heard, but never paid
any attention to before.
We remembered the trouble
when Austria took control of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina, two little
provinces settled with people Of the
Serbian race. We remembered how
Germany, by planning the Berlin
Bagdad railway. stood behind Aus
tria in her attempt to get control
of Serbia. We realized that Russia
would stand behind Serbia and that
Germany would stand behing Aus
tria II anything like what we had
seen that evening in the theater
had really happened. So we went
home that night wondering about
many things.
Now 1t all took place Just about
like we saw 1t take place when we
imagined ourselves watching it In
the theater. The assassination of
the Austrian Crown Prince took
place ON the twenty-eighth Of June,
and brought the final spark Of fric-
ton between Austria and Serbia.
A. . result Of this assassination,

Last week we pretended we were
artists and we finished painting a
dark, threatening background
which was the background of the
great war.
This week let's imagine we are in
a magnificent theater, very large
and very beautiful; and that we
are going to see wonderful drama
or play.
The theater is crowded with a
brilliant company of people-gay
and laughing. We are among the
crowd, in well-chosen seats. not
too near to see the stage as a
whole, nor too far to hear the
speaking. We, too, are happily
talking.
After a while, the lights go out,
and with the darkened house, the
voices become still and everyone
looks intently at the stage, hushed
and expectant. !.
One by one we see the lights Of
the stage come on. The stage is
very large and we are very much
surprised to see that they have
taken the immense canvas we have
just finished as the scenery for the
play.
That's queer" we say to our
selves and thing Of the play we
came to sea quiet, peaceful sort
of a play. the scenes Of which hap
pened to be laid in Europe. How
strange, then, to use this gloomy
background for such a joyous play!
The play starts and act follows
act, and the actors come and go,
and everything is gay and attrac-
tive. There isn't much more to
happen, we think, except the bring
ing together OF the hero and hero
inc, and the promise that they will
live happy ever after" It is just
before the last scene Of the fifth
act which is the last scene Of the
play.
The stage begins again 10 bright
en- up for the last scene, but 1t does
not become very light, just a few
lights here and there. The stormy
scenery seems to be more notice
able than ever before. There isn't
much on the stage except some
trees and a fountain that form
public square and long flight of
steps leading up to an immense
building.
Now we hear voices-of course
it's the merry crowds gathering to
sing the bridal chorus for the bride
and groom when they apper. But
as the voices come nearer, they do
not sound joyous-they sound loud
and angry and dissatisfied.
The door Of the great building on
the stage opens and two people
come out and more seem to be fol-
lowing. They are beautifully
dressed and have splendid bearing,
but We know they are not our hero
and heroine.

Austria, Francis Ferdinand and his
