Father Georges
Happiest Christmas

THE most memorable Christmas
day in the history Of our coun-
try was that on which George
Washington crossed the Delaware in
q boat, followed by his small but reso-
lutte army, and captured the British
and Hessians at Trenton in 1776, an
important turning point in the early
period Of the struggle, says the Phil
adelphia Press. 1t was important in
the fact that the hearts of the colonists
had been crushed at their vain efforts
to stem the tide Of British aggression.
and 1t was a fine Christmas gift to
the nation when Washington not only
checked their advance, but turned
their jollification in Trenton into a
rOut which he followed closely and
which was the first successful resist
ance for the American arms.
The nation had reason to be wild
with joy at the Christmas gift Wash
ington presented to them, for the
most ardent supporters of the u
had about given up all hope, and it
was only the iron will OF the i!lustri-
GUS commander In chief that prevent
ed the failure of the war for freedom.
This Christmas day victory gave the
nation a thrill of hope and JOY, for 1t
showed that the despised Continentals
were more than a match for the Ger
man mercenaries.
Washington always afterwara at
firmed that it was the happiest Christ
mas Of his life.

she would rather have black or laven-
der, and it spoils all the fun asking
"As you see we were a family who
gave one another practical presents.
She and l talked 1t over, and we hit
upon the cleverest plan. Instead Of
having our gifts before breakfast in
the library, as usual on Christmas
morning, we had a little tree about
two feet high on the table, hung and
piled about with tiny packages. Moth
er's waist was cut from a fashion
magazine and, with three one-dollar
oils, wrapped in a small jewelry box.
Mary's umbrella vas made from a
toothpick and a dollar bill. Father
gave me a tiny dolls muff in a pill
box with a ten dollar bill inside, and
he gave mother a bright colored rug
cut from a magazine, just the size Of
a ten dollar bill. which was pasted
lightly to the back.

the holiday rush was over we did our
Christmas shopping. and none Of the
surprise had been taken away by ask

Hlndoo Prince and Missionaries.

Never shall forget frank CONVEX
sation which / had in his palace with
his highness the gaekwar of Baroda,
relates a correspondent. He told me
of some of the measures which he has
already. introduced for the betterment
of his subjects and of the difficulties
which he had encountered. His adj
miration for things American is so IN
qualified as to be almost naive, but /
think I was most of all impressed
when he said: 81 am thinking of call
ing together the missionaries and ask
ing them to tell me their views on how
we can improve the quality of the ma
tive priesthood. Then I want to call
the priests together and say to them,
Look at the missionaries. See the sac
rifces they are making to help our peo-
pie. You ought to go out and do the
same kind of work." His highness

STUDENT SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS

The letter elsewhere of Lieut.. At
kinson, in regard to high school and
college students enlisting in the navy
should close the controversy. The
lieutenant should certainly know just
what he is talking about. No matter
how well they mean, no man, teacher
or otherwise should say a word to dis
courage volunteering. There viii be
plenty of young men and, then some
who will wait for the draft, and the
gallant boys who enlist now do their
country double service.
We are always glad to have letter
from our good friend Superintendent
Brinson, but we can't help wondering
at his remark in his recent commu-
nication that ne regrets Every much
the apparent necessity for some one
to remark on the unfortunate editor
ial utterance" on the subject in the
Star.
It's our opinion that whenever we
make remark that causes any cloud
ed public matter to be cleared up we
do the public service. We hope Mr..
Brinson viii not fall into the state of
mind of the teacherhood, which is In
danger of becoming as intolerant as
the priesthood used to be-and would
be, if the laymen hadn't revolted. It's
becoming a habit of the teacherheod
to throw fit if an outsider criticises
any of their semi-sacred methods, and
we shall not be surprised if they send
delegation to the legislature to lobby
for law against such criticism, and
we shouldn't be surprised if the legis-
lature passed it.
Another thing that amuses is Mr..
Brinson's idea that if the war lasts,
the government will have to draw on
the college graduates two or three
years from now for officers. When we
were making an army, and all the men
were new, the collegians of course had
the preference-tho' many of them
fell down-but by the time our army
has had battle experience the com,
missions are going to the men who
have been under fire. Trained men
won't follow raw officers with any
confidence, and Mr.. Brinson will find
that college men will have to begin in
the ranks.

SAME B0THERSOME WEEDS
Pests to the Aborigines Continue to Be
an Annoyance to Farmers Now
Filling the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude of succeeding generations by
keeping a journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site Of the
present town of Gloucester, Mass. He
described, relates a writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells of
the horseshoe crab, a creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn, beans and
squashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane of which he saw
enough and, If he could come back to-
day and inspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore he would find the
same weeds fourishing in the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern of farm implements.
More than that it would not be sur
prising if he found fields In which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smothered the planted crop,
whether of beans, squash or corn, and
he could well be pardoned If he won
dered that agriculture, after more than
800 years, was still helpless against
the weeds which he had fought I'm his
day.

Mental and Physical Work.

Mark Twain wrote as follows on this
subject:
'HThere are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly and eomplacently
about the working classes and sat
isfy themselves that a days hard in
teIlectual work is very much harder
than a days hard manual toll, and is
righteously entitled TO much bigger
pay Why, they really think that, you
know, is because they know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
But know all about both; and so far
as am concerned, there isn't money
enough to hire me to swing a pickax
thirty days, but I viii do the hardest
kind of intellectual work for just as
near nothing as you can cipher it down
and I viii be satisfied, too"

SENSITIVENESs HURTS A MAN
Affection Often Results in AbsoIuts
Ruin of Persons Who Are Inclined
10 BE Ambitious.

In an article called How I Cured
Myself of Being Sensitive" a writer
says in the American Magazine:
Wagner, you've got ability he
cried, but you'll never get anywhere
in this world until you quit tearing
yourself to piecesi I've watched you
for the last three years; twice I've had
it in mind to push you up a notch in
the Office, and every time I've passed
you and picked some one else, because
l knew you aren't fit TO handle other
men. No man Is fit TO handle other
men until he has learned to control
himself. You can't, you're too blamed
sensitive.
Little setbacks break your heart.
A letter of complaint comes in from
some customer and you take it as
personal criticism, and lose a days
work brooding over it. You see me In
conference with some of the other men
and you stab yourself wondering why
you weren't invited and imagine that
have turned against you. You hear
about some one who is making more
money than you, and Immediately all
far fields look gEeener. You're a fair
" useful cog in your present job, and
it might put me to some annoyance to
lose you. But you'll never hold big
job until you can forget your own
petty self and learn to laugh when the
world takes a crack at you. Hanged
if | don't think sometimes it might be
better If you were to get out and try
your hand somewhere else"
