MANY NEARLY NAKED
Red Cross Appeals for Clothing for
Refugees of War Countries

The latest call from the Red Cross
is for old clothes for the French and
Belgian refugees. The drive is to
start next Wednesday, according to
an. announcement at the meeting of
the general committee at the Cham
Der of Commerce Thursday night.
The arrangements are not all com
pleted as yet, but it is expected that
definite plans for the drive will be
formed by Monday night
In the call for old clothes, nothing
IN the line of wearing. apparel is
barred. L your old clothes are hold
ing together the refugees need them,
they are not especially particular at
this time about either the fit or the
cut of their clothing. What they
want is some clothing, something to
cover their nakedness.
1t was announced that there is
plenty of room in the ships carrying
food and things like that to the Bel
gian relief commission to carry all
the ole clothes that can be gathered.
Mems and women's clothing, and
clothes for babies and lust arrived"
are needed badly. The refugees are
going about some of them practically
without clothing. and unless the peo-
pie OF the United States comes to the
front and relieves the situation, the
proverbial fig leaf of the progenitors
of the race will be at premium.

A Christmas Story

Once upon a time there was a
family that lived upon hill Their
name was Fisher. They were very
poor and they had two children
whose names were Louise and Paul.
1t was very near Christmas and
they didn't have any money, or even
anything to eat. Paul went out
and cut some wood and made a
little money with which he bought
a little food.
There was family across the
road from them named Hickey that
was very rich. They had two chill
dren named Ralph and Peggy.
They were going to get apples. nuts,
candy and lots of toys for Christ
mas. They decided they would
give Fishers a nice Christmas.
So they bought Christmas tree
and some tops. fruit, candy and
other things and some very useful
things. as shoes and gloves.
The night before Christmas Mr..
Hickey dressed up like Santa Claus
and climbed in Fishers house
through a window and set up the
tree. Then he decorated It with a
doll. gun and lots of other things
After doing this he climbed out the
window and went home.
The next morning the Hickeys
went over to the Fishers and took
the dinner. They all had very
happy Christmas.

The Story of the
French National Song

We have learned to admire and
love the French national anthem
more than any other foreign ma
tional song. It's spirit. fire and
beauty, both of music and words
has never been equaled in a song
of this nature. 1t is brilliant
stroke OF genius. Do you know
how it was written?
A French captain was stationed
in the Strassburg garrison when
war was declared against Austria.
On the very night that this war was
declared, April 25, 1892, this cap
tain wrote 1.-The Marseillaise," or to
give it's whole name in French, La
Marseiilaise." That captains name
was Rouget de Lisle.
However, when he wrote 1t, he
gave it the name of "The War Song
of the Army on the Rhine" But 1t
was soon sung by Mireux, deputy
for Montpelier. at banquet given
for a great many volunteers of the
town of Marseilles. and from that
time it was known as LA Marseil
laise.' The last stanza was not
written by Rouget de Lisle, but by
the French poet Louis Dubois for
festival held later in the year,
1892.
One lovely June morning in 1896,
Rouget de Lisle felt that he did not
have many more hours to live. He
was heard to murmur, II know that
the end is approaching. l have
made the world sing, and l am
about to die" Hearing this sad
news, people flocked all during the
day to mis- house. When evening
came, the doctor had the windows
of his bedroom opened, and then,
