nothing Of. They must just let us 80
a.ong and share our secret together,
eh?
And then the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
stlffly behind.
When n magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children to sing with him
and the voices of the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived,
that one of the hospital children had
an unusually lovely voice he asked
him t sing alone
And there in the shop he sang, sang
with the thrill of happiness that a
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance Of the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him, not because he was being WIS.,
tied In hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.
1t rang out true and strong. He
shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
er be without to the end Of his days,
and then he was asked to sihg an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure Of loing something which was
liked in this big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung popular song
which he had learned from the squeak
Ing talking machine which someone
had given the hospital when 1t was no
longer flt for the home. and now he
thought he would sing something bet
ter. Somehow he felt 1t would be
proper, and vaguely perhaps he felt 1t
would show gratitude for Christmas
that went deeper. Dimly he thought
these things.
Someone had taught them hymn
In the hospital, hymn which he had
always loved. 1t Wade one feel bet
ter, stronger, happier somehow. It
was a very glorious hymn he had al
ways thought.
And he sang:
1T came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song Of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps Of gold:
Peace on the earth. good will to men,
From heavens ail-sracious king;
The world In solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing"
Right to the end of the hymn he
sang and the people thanked him and
Santa Claus told him 1t. had been love-
ly md gave him n man-lil1e clap on
the back.
Gertrude Harding had felt lump
In her throat and had smiled with
eyes that were misty.
So the angels did bend near the
earth-even in these days-and even
over hospitals where crippled and i'll
children were. 1t WAS the humans,
not the angels, who forgot and who
went through life not ;htnbing
Back to the hospital she took the
children late, late that afternoon. The
hospital was In semi. darkness Chill.

SCHOOL PUPILS
SET UP SOVIET
State Authorities Called on to
Prevent Ducking of
Professors.

Hays, Kansas, Mar. 24.-The Fort
Hays Normal Schools is in the grip
of what professors describe as stu
dent soviet" whose principal occnpa-
tion is throwing professors into the
lake on the college campus, according
to Professor p. Caper Harvey. He
telegraphed the state authorities at
Topeka today for protection and the
attorney general has ordered the
county attorney to prosecute all who
are responsible.
The trouble is said to have begun
when the president left the school a
few days ago on business. He sug-
gested that the male students take a
holiday and build a running track, and
they started ducking all who refused
to aid. Several professors and others
were ducked.

MUST QUALIFY
in CITY TODAY
Voters Failing to Register and
Pay Poll Tax Barred From
All City Elections.

Citizens of Pensacola who desire to
take part in any city election during
the next 12 months must qualify today,
under the election laws of the state.
Not only will voters who fail to pay
their poll taxes and register be barred
from taking part in the city primary Of
April 6, but they will also be barred
from participating in any bond or re-
call election that may be held during
the next year.
Registration books are open at city
hall and Tax Collector RobeAts is on
duty at the old court house 50 that
persons who desire to qualify today
can have no excuse for not doing so.
Whether or not voters are sufficiently
interested in the coming city primary
to qualify is not reason enough for
failing to become electors. 1t is pos
siblc that important bond or recall
elections may be held during the next
i2 months, in which case many who do
not care to vote on April will want to
indicate a decision. Unless the poll tax
is paid and the voter registered today
he will be disqualified from taking part
in such special elections.
