Alexander Grant of the Episcopal academy told me recently a touching little story of the late Julius Meyer, the manufacturer of chemicals, writes Gerard" in the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Mr. Meyer was in the habit of visit ing the hospitals in the weeks before Christmas to ascertain what the pa- tients would like in the way of a re- membrance fr0ffl Santa.
 At the Children's hospital he came upon tiny colored lad who had lost both feet when the cars ran over him.
 What would you like, my little man?"

lNDIANA's FIRST COAL SHAFT
Old Mine Near Evansville Disappears and the Site Has Become a
 Beauty Spot.

After more than fifty years the old Ingle coal mine has disappeared from the Ohio river front between Evans vile and Howell. It was the first mine tQ be opened in Indiana and it was owned and operated by an Eng fish syndicate, the Indianapolis News states.
 When the shaft was sunk it was called the Bodiam mine and was man. aged by John Wymond, who came to Evansville from England for that purpose. The mine had been con- pletely worked out when it was aban- doned. The workings had drifted un- der the Ohio river to the Kentucky shore.
 The English syndicate sold the mine to John Ingle, ST. and it remained in his family many years. The last own CT was James H. Moore, owner of the Crescent coal mine in Evansville.
 The clearing away of the tipple gives an unobstructed view of the river for the new West Side junior high school The hill has now be- come one of the beauty spots of the city.

 It was announced at Division head quarters at Camp Pike that in the near future discharged soldiers fail Ing to wear the red chevron will be arrested.

Captain Palmer of the Military Police said that due time has elapsed for all to be- come acquainted with the law and that oenders will be arrested in the future.
 The extract from the act of Con- gress follows:
 "The act of Congress, approved February 28, 1919, provides that any person who served in +he United States army during the present war may wear the uniform after dis charge provided that it shall include webb distinctive mark to be prescr1b- ed by the secretary of war The red chevron has been prescribed to be worn by discharged enlisted men as 8 recognition of duties performed in the service of the country This is now also designated as the distinctive mark required by the before-mention- ed act and will be worn by discharged officers and enlisted men alike. This also applies to discharged officers who accept commissions in the Officers Reserve Corps, until called to active duty when the red ehevron will 0e removed. A chevron will be worn point up midway between the elbow and shoulder on the left sleeve of the coat and overcoat and on the shirt when worn without the coat.
 ''Tt is unlawful under the National Defense act for the uniform to be worn by discharged officers or en- listed men without this distinctive mark, and the offender renders him. self liable to civil prosecution and punishment by fine not exceeding $500 or by Imprisonment not excee1- ing six months, or by both such fine and Imprisonment"
