morrow

Washington, May 13-Despatches
to the navy department from Trebas-
sey Bay indicated that the Naval sea
planes at Newfoundland could not
start the transatlantic flight for at
least twenty-four hours. Command
er Towers of the expedition said
heavy seas were running and storm

Azores.

Trepassey, n. F., May 12.-If Com
mander John II. Towesr, the spare,
keen featured director of the navy's
transatlantic flight planned HOP
OFF, of the Mel and NC-3 for the
Azores, a disturbance prevailing late
this afternoon in the North Atlantic
compelled him to change his mind.
Commander Towers, however, is
maintaining absolute silence with re-
gard to his plans for the start, mere
ly saying he would like to have the
NC-4 join the division before the
start, but that he is unwilling to sac
riice favorable weather in waiting.
The Americans were confident that
the meteorological conditions which
caused them to hug their base would
keep the British aviators, Harry G.
Hawker and Captain Frederick p.
Raynham, land bound at st. Johns.
Indications tonight were that the
weather would be unfavorable again
tomorrow.
Whether Lieutenant Commander A.
G.. Reed OF the NC-4 will attempt to
make up for the loss of time resulting
from his enforced descent at Chat
ham, Mass, by flying direct to Tre-
passey without stop at Halifax was
said to be unknown here. The only
word so far received from the NC-4
was the seRplene had ridden out a
gale at Chatham and was in good
condition to resume her journey as
soon as weather permitted.

A Few DOfl'tS
fOr" Christmas

Don't court indigestion.
Don't grumble, whatever you do.
Don't half fill the kiddies' stockings.
Don't give presents which will be
useless.
Don't forget the mistletoe. Romance
still lives.
Don't forget that it ought to be q
merry Christmas.
Don't deny the little ones ideas
about Santa Claus.
Don't worry about unpaid bills-at
any rate until tomorrow.
Don't scott at the lingering super
stitions of the good old days.
Don't for the show of things, buy
presents which you can't afford.
Don't expect too many presents.
Take what you get and be thankful.
Don't, if you get up on your wrong
side, make everybody else miserable.
Don't forget to think at least once
during the day what Christmas really
means.
Don't give present unless you want
to. Better not give at all than give in
sincerely.
Don't forget that the giving of
| Christmas boxes, like charity, should
begin at home.
Don't, if you are a girl, stand under
the mistletoe until you see the right
chap approaching.
Don't kiss somebody else's best girl,
even though she is under the mistle-
toe. There might be a row.
Don't work on Christmas day if you
can avoid it. If you have to, however,
don't make song about it.
Don't give Johnnie trumpet and
Peter a whistle and expect to have
quiet time. It's unreasonable.
Don't put off buying presents until
the last minute. You'll get better value
and avoid the crush if you shop early.
Don't send an electric runabout to a
freezing widow with five starving chill
dren. This is like throwing a rope of
pearls to drowning man.
Don't lock panied when somebody
tells fifty-year-old Christmas story.
That's one of the unavoidable circum-
stances of the festive season.
Don't give new song to some one
who doesn't sing; but be still more
certain that you don't give new song
to some one who imagines he can sing.
Don't refrain from giving because
you can't afford to give much. The in
trinsc value of a gift counts for moth
ing 1t is the thought which prompts
it that matters.
Don't let the wife give you Christ
mas present in the form of cigars. If
she persists in doing so, don't smoke
them-give them away again, without
letting her know about it, of course.

Christ Is Born
by
Louise +. EIn1endOSf

The ,uorld, late racked Nth pain
through bloody years,
Has climbed its weary long pathed
Calvary,
Where millions died, as Christ,
that they might free
Others from wrong and black op-
pression's tears.
Once more mow through the world
comes to our ears
The song of all the ages, "Christ
is born"
Mute tongued to notes Of Jog have
been the bells,
And only childhood and old age
dared try
To sing, so near the threatening
battle sky.
The song that told, though dulled
By shrieking shells
Whose bursting turned a thousand
homes to bells,
The vonder of the ages, "Christ
is born.''
Our faith in God has brought to us
the goal;
War-weary lands haze peace on
earth again.;
And IN the Scared and fire.
purged hearts Of men,
Made street and strong by suffering
of the soul,
Through travail of a worzd once more
made whole,
Anew IN human hearts the Christ
is born.
Dear God, the Christmas songs are
fraught with prayer
That Thou wi1t be Nth those
whose tears still pay
That we may haze the glory of
this day;
That men may hue their thanks
that hues may bear
Eternal witness for Thee, every-
where
Proclaiming that in us the Christ
is horn.

The Debtor Class

From the Review.
 A quarter of century ago, when the free-silver question was at it's height, and "the crime of 1873" was the rallying cry of the friends of the people, it was in the name of the outraged debtor class" that the cry was most passion ately raised.
 During the last eight or ten years the dollar has been falling in value far more rapidly than 1t ever rose in the period following the demonetization of silver, the crime of 1875" and during the last two or three years the fall of the dol lars value has been going on with a rapidity which throws altogether into the shade anything that was experienced during the period of its rise. The air is filled with complaints of high prices, in comparison with which the outcries about tow prices in the sos and 'sos were as summer breeze in comparison with a winter storm. But who has heard a word of joy over the deliverance that has come to the debtor classr

What Causes the Gurgle?

From the Book of wonders.
 The air trying to get in causes the gurgle, Air has one strong characteristic which stands out above everything else. It wants to go some place else all the time. When it learns of a place where there is no air it wants to go there above all things. and goes at it with a rush.
 Now, when you turn a bottle full of water upside down. the water comes out if the cork is out of course, and as soon as the water starts out the air starts to get in, and every time you hear a surgle you know the air is getting in, Every gurgle is battle between the water and the air. Sometimes the air comes and pushes the water back enough to let 1t slide into the bottle; sometimes the water pushes the air back, and thus they fight back and forth. The water always gets out andt he air always gets in. II doing so they make the gurgle.
