Kings, Daughters.

On Tuesday of next week the
Kings Daughters Circle of Rock
ingham will make an appeal to the
people of the town for aid to
carry on its work among the poor
during the winter. 1t is hoped
that all will feel personally inter-
ested, and that the spirit of patrio-
tism and brotherly kindness will
be as great for the sufferers at
our doors as for our soldiers over
the seas.
For the past seventeen years
this organization, by thestrennous
efforts of its members and the
generous kindness of friends, has
supplied the needs of the poor,
and looked after the sick and
afflicted of the town and vicinity,
and at the same time has al
ways managed to keepa sufficient
surplus in the treasury to provide
for hospital cases and other
emergencies.
For the period that our coun-
try has been at war a majority
of the members have given
their time largely to Red Cross
and other war work, and the
circle has, so far as possible,
taken a secondary place.
1t is only fair to state, however,
that during this time every case
of suffering has been relieved,
and every one requiring hospital
care and treatment has received
it-and thera have been many.
These are the reasons for the
Christmas campaign that will be
made next Tuesday-and friends
will understand why the treas
ury of the circle is exhausted,
and why they will be asked to
give as generously as their means
and frequent other calls will al
low.
In addition, every woman who
is not already a member of the
circle will be asked to join. If
she cannot take part in active
work, she can at least become
a contributing member, and
every man who has not enrolled
his name will be requested to do
so.

ANYTHING BE SIMPLER
Vet Probably Many Who Have Sud-
denly ~DIsmounted From Mule
Never Saw Things That Way.

A young soldier was watching the
efforts Of his fellow privates to ride a
refractory mule. Not one Of them
could stay on its back for two sec
0nds.
At last the looker-on approached and
1rawled:
Il say, let me show you how it's
Done"
Come on, them" said the soldiers.
The youth sided up to the mule,
swung himself on the animals back,
wrapped his legs beneath it's body
and took a firm hold or the reins. The
mule made a slight effort to dislOdge
him, but the man stuck. Another
slightly more strenuous effort by the
mule also failed. Then, laying his ears
back, and taking a deep breath, the
mule shot his heels into the air at an
angle of 65 degrees, and the young
man was propelled to the ground.
He slowly arose to his feet, screwed
his face into a smile and said:
Now, that's the way, boysl When
you see he's goin' to pitch you of, just
get off"
