SCORE OF CIVILIANS KILLED AND
SOLDIERS SUFFER CASUAL
TIES IN BATTLE
CIVILIANS AMBUSH MILITARY
Counties Kilkenny and Tippersry Are
Scenes of Fatal CIashcs.--Dubiin
Railway Men Call off Strike
and Will Transport Arms

Dublin, Dec. 22.-Heavy fighting has
taken place between large forces OF
civilians on one side and soldiers and
police on the other in the section lying
between Galaxy. County Kilkenny, and
Glenbower, County Tipperary. The
military and police were ambushed at
not less than three different places
Monday, and numerous casualties on
both sides resulted. These included
Sergeant Walsh, r.. I. c.. killed, some
soldiers, number unknown. 10 or 10
civilians killed, and Sergeant Shannon
and several soldiers wounded. About
80 civilians were wounded or cap
tured.
An official communication issued by
general headquarters last night esti-
mated the casualty among the attack
ing force at Is. No police casualties
are mentioned. The statement says
that the details are still in doubt and
that no information has yet been re
ceived regarding the ambush of po-
lice reinforcements from Clonmei. The
inhabitants of the countryside are In
a state of terror and many are fleeing
from their homes. The first conflict
occurred early in the day at the foot
of Seivenamon hill After a sharp
fight, the military lorry got through
and sent message to Callen for re-
Inducements. In this instance 1t is
believed the ambushers escaped I'M
scathed.
Reinforcements of royal Irish con-
stabulary and soldiers left Callan late
in the afternoon, and when about two
miles out ran into another ambush
near Carrickgricken, the Earl Of Os-
sery's shooting lodge. At the first vol
ley from the ambushing party, the sol
diers and police dismounted from the
lorry and spread out and brisk fight
ensued. the firing being intense at
times.
The fighting was stiIl progressing
when County Inspector Whyte of XIII
kenny, with dozen OF the constabu-
larry, dashed up on another lorry. run
ming into the thick Of II. 1t was now
becoming dark and the police lorry was
subjected to q yeritable hail of bull
lets. 1t was riddled, and Sergeant
Walsh was shot through the head, dy
ing instantly.
Shannon received wounds through
the head and arms. The battle was de
scribed as fierce. District Inspector
Baynham had narrow escape, hi
rifle being shattered in his hands.
At about the same time reinforce
ments from Clonmel were attacked
near Glenbower, where the biggest bat
tie of the day occurred.

Make Every Day a Christmas

Too prone are we all to allow our
Christmas sentiments to evaporate
with the day, forgetting that there
are other days in TIE year for a SYM
pathetic hand clasp and an encourag-
ing word. If Christmas is better than
other days IN the year, it is because
the feeling OF brotherhood and fellow
ship belongs to it.
Why not have every other day in
the year filed with brotherliness and
fellowship? Why not soften the as
perities of life, speak the kindly word,
and extend the helping hand for the
other 1854 days? In word, why not
make every day Christmas? Carry
the Christmas spirit with Us through
out the year and say, with Tiny Tim,
at all times and seasons, Sod bless
us, everyone"
Let us keep Christmas in this spirit,
then, forgetting not to whom thanks
for the many blessings and privileges
of this great country of ours are due,
looking forward to the age that is
coming:
"When the common sense of most
shall hold the fretful realm in awe
And the kindly earth shall slumber
lapt in universal law"

.S|MPL|H|ED LAWS
URGED FOR STATE
HEINTz DEMANDS CONSTITUTION
AND STATUTES PEOPLE CAN
UNDERSTAND.
SHOULD NOT AMEND ACTS
viii Exert Every Effort Towards
Writing Int Constitution Law Ex-
sHptInS NeWhy-cieared Lands For
a Period Of Ten Years.

Covington, La. One OF the inn
portant duties of the Constitutional
Convention, according to F. ]. Heintz,
delegate from st. Tammany parish, is
to insert a provision in the new or
ganic law requiring that each act of
the Legislature shall stand on its own
merit.
II believe" MT. Heintz said, that
each act of the Legislature should
stand on its own merit. We should
have no act amending and re-enacting
an act that is amended and re-enacted
avn act amending and re-amending,
etc. This would very much simplify
matters and reduce the work Of the
courts.
1.-THE Dunbar kidnapping case IL
illustrates the necessity for such pro-
vision in the constitution. Walters,
who was convicted of kidnapping Bob
by Dunbar at Opelousas, went free
because the Legislature, in amending
an act, overlooked an act that had
been amended and re-enacted, etc.
When the case got to the Supreme
Court it was reversed on account Of
the error Of the Legislature, which, in
effect, had mixed things up so there
was no law to cover the case Of Wal
ters. Whether Walters was guilty or
not guilty Is not a question at issue
now. The question is whether the
state shall run the risk OF being dis
credited by such performance in the
future. There are others besides the
Walters case that can be cited to show
the necessity for such q provision in
the constitution. Every lawyer knows
this to be true.
II do believe that any statute law
should be embodied in the constitu-
ton. The Legislature should be given
the responsibility Of carrying out the
intent Of the constitution by acts that
are almost az simple and brief as the
constitution itself. For instance take
article 233 OF the present constitution
dealing with the sale Of property for
non-payment of taxes. This article
contains forty-eight lines with an av-
erag Of twelve words to line. The
more you read this article, as in the
case with Shakespearean works and
the Bible the more you can find in 1t.
In m yopinion, the present article
could be covered by the following:
Article 23S. There shall be no
forfeiture Of property for non-pay-
ment OF taxes. The state, parishes
and municipalities, through proper Of
flcials, shall have the right to sell as
sesssd propert for non-payment Of
taxes. The Legislature shall pass acts
regulating the terms stipuIRtions and
conditions Of ali tax sales

FUN IN PLAYING OLD CHRIS
Amusement for Both Young and Ola
in Impersonating BlusterY
Present-Laden Santa.

SETI5Y3 HERE is great fun in imper-
SSSAd SonatiOn and none more than
HENG in taking the part of that
SSS%ES prince of good fellows, jolly
old Kris. Several little
brothers, sisters or cousins should
make up the audience to be amused,
all of them young enough to believe
implicitly in the whole story of the
journey in reindeer sleigh from the
North Pole toy country TO ones Own
particular chimney. Parents and 9th
er big folks must, of course, be in the
scheme and coached to play an ac-
tive part.
You will be missed from the COM
pany, to be sure, and dad and mother
should search the house and look up
and down the street and make all
sorts of excuses for your absence.
And if your voice cannot be contin-
ually and very successfully disguised
you had better not talk, but convey
your meanings by mods and motions,
not forgetting to shake hands all
round repeatedly and to laugh, silent
ly but heartily, with much shaking of
sides and bending over.
Santa may play at being late, and
after he has filled the stockings he is
caught by dad, who loudly notifies the
household and insists that the old fell
low pay visit and distribute the
gifts. Questions are asked about the
sleigh. which is supposed to have gone
on without its driver, so that the
youngsters won't want to run out and
look for it.
at the end of the ceremonies, which
should not last over half an hour,
sudden disappearance may be ar.
ranged by calling the children to the
window with the supposed discovery
Of the returning sleigh, and Santa
may slip out of the room door, shed
and hide his buds and get out of the
house by the back way, returning
presently, with much noise, by the
front way, as though having been
gone for a long time and, Of course,
much disappointed to have missed
seeing Santa.
As for the costume, that is a mat
ter of varied opportunity, except that
the white whiskers and wig. the fun
ny little old tassled cap and the fat
stomach are essential.

SIMPLE HOMEMADE GIFTS

Handkerchiefs, neatly hemmed and
an embroidered initial adjoining one
corner, may be made from stray rem
nant of linen or lawn.
Canvas or denim gloves for the WON
an who hangs out wet clothes are a
boon-and so easily made on the sew
ing machine.
Night slippers are a joy to children
who must walk upstairs after prepar-
ing for bed. Any material of downy
texture is adaptable, and they are
made as simply as stocking foot.
Every country woman should have a
knit. wooden cOrset-cover. A worn
sweater, by removing the collar and
lower part of the sleeves (parts, by the
way, most likely to show wear) serves
beautifully for this purpose.
Knowing the size of any little girls
doll, it is simple matter to make a
dress, a bonnet or cloak for it.
Mittens are neatly and quickly made
on the sewing machine. Use any fiexi-
Bile wooden material.
A child's fur set can be made from
an Out-Of-date fur piece, or If you have
only q trif1e of fur use it simply for
the rim Of the muff and the scarf-end.
To an invalid friend is sent your
cheeriest house-plant to gladden. the
