When Did Civil War End1

Ask anybody the date Of the Civil
wars end. The answer will Invariably
be: April, 1865" But, In literal
sense, that answer Is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the pc
Rod designated in the proclamation Of
the president Of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2, 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
4 formal conclusion on that date, not
In April of 1865.

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CARD
u 10 Said to Have Sprung From
"SchooI Pieces" Of Middle Of
Nineteenth Century.

The Christmas card Is the legitimate
christmas pieces" which were popu-
lar from the beginning to the middle
OF the nineteenth century. These were
sheets OF writing paper, sometimes sur
rounded with those hideous and elab-
crate pen hourIshes forming birds,
scrolls, etc, so unnaturally dear to the
hearts OF writing masters, and some
times beaded with copper plate enErav-
ings. plain or colored. These were
used by schoolboys ut the approach of
the holidays for carefully written let
tiers exploiting the progress they had
made In composition and chirography.
Charity boys were large purchasers Of
these pieces, says one writer. and at
Christmas time used to take them
around their parish to show and at the
same time solicit q trifs.
The Christmas card proper had Its
tentative origin In 1854. Joseph Gun
dali. London artist. claims to have
issued the nrst In that year. II was
printed In photography, colored by hand
and was OF the usua! size Of lady's
card.
Not until 1862, however. did the Gus
tom obtain any foothoid. Then expert
ments were made With cards of the
size Of an ordinary carte de viste. In.
scribed simply "A Merry Christmas"
and "A Happy New Year" After that
came to be added robins and holly
branches, embossed figures Ind land
scapes. fEf f

MOTHER OF THE
TRENCHES

|
tor settled down TO q steady
grind after the first few months Of the
war, it was found that in No Mans
Land, living in q cellar, was q French
woman "a years old Her name was
Madame Girot. The place once had
been = thriving French village, but
the war had swept over it and now all
that remained were few cellars, half
filled with debris of falling walls. All
the civilians had left with the first
onsweep Of the boche; all but Madame
Girot.
The aged woman had made her cell
lar habitable. 1t was nothing more
than hole in the ground, about twelve
by eighteen feet, but 1t was protected
by heavy stone walls and had with
stood years Of wear.
A French patrol first discovered her
and insisted that she go behind the
lines.
81 cannot" she told them. "This is
the only home have. My father, my
fathers father, and even his father
lived here. Never have / been outside
the village. Here remain until die"
The Frenchmen the next night sent
her food and wine. After that pat
rol would visit her every few nights
and try to persuade her to move.
About two weeks later poilu found
a German soldier in the dugout, and
started to bayonet him.
Don't" madame said "This man
and his friends also have brought me
food. They too, have been good to me-"
So the two men sat there and talked, |
sometimes in German, sometimes in
French. They arranged that every |
other night patrol should visit the
house, one night French, the next
night German, and that the place
never should be used for snipers or
observers and that no shooting, not
even artillery, should take place in the
Madame became known as "Mother
Of the Trenches" Sometimes she
would patch clothing Of the soldiers,
sometimes fix them herb teas for
colds or other ailments. Always she
was kind to them, always they were
good to her and never once was the
agreement broken on either side. All
through the winter Of 1914-15 that con
Linued. Toward spring Madame's
health seemed to be failing. But still
she was happy.
One night in May, 1915, the French
patrol failed to find Madame at home.
The men we're anxious and feared
by the boche. They waited
until daylight to investigate At dawn
hey found little wooden cross at the
md of some newly turned earth. One
# them read in German script:
Here Lies Madame Girot
Died May Ia, 1915.
Aged "a Years.
"The Mother of the Trenches"
On the grave had been scattered
lunches of wild flowers, the kind that
row only in France.
The next night another French pat
oil visited the grave, moved the Ger
ian cross to one side and placed
longside another cross, with small
ed, white and blue headpiece, decor
ted with rosette and three ribbons
the same color, the official decora-
on of French graves. Inscribed in
rench were the same words the Ger
Ians had written.

Shall Be Sold at San Quentin

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE
nice question of whet..o. the widow of
the criminal hanged recently at San
Quentin can demand that his intersti-
tial glands be delivered to her for sale
may be decided in the courts. Attor-
ney Nat Coghlan. who defended An

a right to demand the glands when he
is hanged December 19.
Prison doctors today announced
that they had an offer of $4,000 for
the glands which they could not ac-
cept, due to the prison rules. Coghlan
believes an Injunction might be OBJ
tanned, preventing the agents of the
state from using the reproductive
glands and ordering physicians to
keep them on ice" until the legal
question is settled
