received minor injuries when struck
by a locomotive in the Great North

o'clock this forenoon. He was taken
to St. Michael's hospital, where the

company, was on his way home to
lunch and was crossing the Great
Northern tracks just east of the yaro
office when the accident occurred. He
failed to notice the approach of En-

 Straits of Tsushima, and lost her | fleet. hundred and nine years ago Captain Lawrence, one of the most promising officers in cur young navy, sailed out of Boston with a green crew in the Chesapeake to do battle against the well drilled crew of the shannon. The ships began to fight at $50 D. m. and at 6;02 D. m. the Brit ish ship captured the Chesapeake by boarding. Lawrence, in his death throes, uttered those immortal words,
 Don't give up the shipi" but the green crew hauled down the flag just the same. It our policies can be brought into amicable agree
 ment with those of the rest of the five principal powers, it will be a splendid achievement for the confer
 ence, and there is probably no other
 class of people in this land who
 would more gladly see the sword
 beaten into the plowshare than the seagoing personnel of the navy, pro- vided it can be done with safety. We
 do hope. however, that the agree
 ments reached in council will he con servative so far as our first line of defense is concerned--for if we are ever needed at sea, with untraned crews like that of the unfortunate Chesapeake. it will not be the repre- sentative who makes unsound agree
 ments at the disarmament table who shoulders the blame. The blame will
 be laid on the shoulders of the un- happy commander-in-oh defeated lat sea-and his will be the court
 martial.

A TOUCHING STORY OF THE
 EARLY 7O'S IN BIRMINGHAM

From the Alexandria (La) Daily Town Talk,
 Editor Town Talk:
 I read with much interest the eel ebration of the semi-centennial of Birmingham, Ala, and it recalled to my mind an interesting incident in the life of Jack Reilly. who for many years was citizen of Alexandria.
 In the early seventies of the last century I wanted to ship some horses from Nashville, Tenn. to Al cxandria, and had made up my mind to take them by boat. but concluded first to see Major Stahlman, who through to New Orleans. He said he would send me through without change of cars, and If I desired to do so l could accompany the car. The next morning I found the box car at the old Link depot on Col lege street; the horses were loaded and off we started. Everything went well until we reached a small sta tion in Alabama. now known in tho business world as Birmingham and one of the greatest iron markets in the world. It was here our engine got off the track, and while they
 
 were summoned by the ringing of bell to dinner. which was served in a four-room box house which stood not far from the little one room depot, which was the only house then in sight. The hostess was a beautiful young widow. still in her teens, with bright-lo looking black-eyed baby. I was then a better looking man than l am today. after the wear and tear of fifty years and I think the young widow thought so, too. for she seemed anxious to have me occupy the seat of honor at the table to her right. which, of course, l appreciated. After some had been served, an sh-lookinA, man came in and sat opposite to me and near the widow. It was soon discovered that I was Jim Flint and the Irishman was Jack Reilly, of Alexandria, La.
 After the Civil war and soon after our return from Texas as refugees from Louisiana. I started to school at the Louisiana State Seminary, and not until May, 1868, did ] go to Nashville. and not until this trip did I return to Louisiana, so neither of us remembered each other. After our coffee, Jack Kelly, the widow and myself repaired to some  benches on the front gallery. with the sweet little black eyed baby in my arms, cooing and trying now and then to say papa" On how my heart ached when 1 thought of Its irreparable loss-the love and affection of it's own papa; nor could understand the tear of sympathy 1 which fell upon the little rosy cheek but felt sure that God in His mercy and love would certainly watch over | 1t.
 Jack opened up the conversation | by saying he had been north to sea some relatives; was then on his way back to Alexandria, but, losing his pocketbook, he had stopped over and was helping the widow. as all men will do--especially when they are young and good d-looking-with ] her corn and cotton crop. and ir this way replenish his cash ac- l count, We were looking out over the treetops. and not far to our 1 right was a mountain. or very high hill.

THE HOME COMING By EvangeIine Booth, Commander of the Salvation Army.

Christmas is the miracle season of the-- year. Its magic touch leaves transformations every where under whose gay disguise the familiar customs of somber old world are changed and de- lightful. Like confetti 1t shakes out it's universal festivity. and for the hour age becomes youth, every care falls back and light hearts. light steps. light faces, keep holiday together.
 If it were possible for one to wish to escape the thran of Christmas, where would we hide? Not where the mountaineer IS mailing the holly on the little hut, hanging like a limpet to the great gray hill. Not where the woods man is rifling the forest for the miniature pines destined for tinsel and candlelight. Not in the busi- ness world. where everyday mer- chandise is overflowed by a tidal wave of holiday goods. Not in the church, where crimson and green wreathe stately marble and som Der stone. and joyous carols echo. Not among the swollen mail bags, whose contents bulge with gifts duu greetings. Siill iesS COulH such find sanctuary within the thronged means of transportation, for, steam or electric, city or in- terurban. subway express or transcontinental limited, they are alike crowded with people whose hands are filled, whose hearts aSe warm, whose lips are smiling be- cause they are all going home for Christmas.
 No, there is no getting away from the spirit Of Christmas, for 1t is in everything and every where. and, like all great things which make their dwelling place in the heart and in the home, is charms are irresistible,
 But the gladdest and most strik ing feature about Christmas is that in all circles, under all cir cumstances, it is the season above all others that Is celebrated as the universal signal for home coming.

sung by angels. Just one home was touched and small group en- trusted with the culture of princely youth and a few men of business and trade. How far has been pro- jected into the story of human life that story of Bethlehem. Today that home is accounted desolate indeed that does not know the Christmas story and the Christmas joy, That place of education IS accounted dark with midnight ig norance that does not know the Christmas legend of Him whose words are life indeed. That place or business is on a pagan plane in the sight of men that does not have reverence for Christmas.
 "The purpose of Christmas Is to get us out of our beaten paths of selfish pursuit Into the starlit way of homage and adoration and self forgetfulness that is Christward. Getting men to look up out of

mean most to business who want commerce shot through with Chris tian sentiment and carry into every trade the spirit of the man who has found Christ, even as those shepherds were the better fitted for the task of commerce, when they went back to their folds from the cradle of the Re deemer. They mean most to the home who can look into the eyes of every new-b born babe with the eyes of those who seek to do the will of God. even as that stranger mother of Bethlehem was deemed fit to be the mother of the Chosen One, because she kept her life as a hand maiden of the Lord"
 "Our roads al Christmas are lead ing more and more to Bethlehem. We are having the White Christmas of altruism instead of the gaudy noisy, drunken one of tinsel, and tin-horns and toddies. We are spending more on food for the hungry and less on firecraekers. We are getting into the shadow of loftier pines as we meet

WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN

Theodore Williams. in Leslie's Week ly.
 If i've. the common people" of the United States were better versed in
 economies and finance much would
 be added to the material well being of the nation. A large proportion of
 the discontent and unrest so detri- mental to business and prosperity has
 been due to the propaganda of ili-
 informed agitators and half-baked
 theorizers. The last-named class in-
 cludes not merely poorly educated persons, but also not few college professors and other intellectuals who have no experience in or com prehension of practical affairs, and who dwell mentally in Utopia.
 There are certain cast iron eco-
 homie facts and simple elementary
 principles that every American citi-
 zen should be familiar with if the country is ever to prosper as 1t should. Ignorance. or ignoring, of these on one side or the other, some times on both, causes most of the frictions arising in the industrial
 world. Capital has short -sightedly,
 even as regards it's own interests. often occupied an unwise economic position. while labor has been promo to confuse the economic law with
 capitalism and to arraign the latter for conditions inevitable in the very nature of things.
 The business of business is to make profit and that is itsp rimary reason for being. It must conduct it's opera tions along certain rigid lines if it Is to succeed, and it's success is a uni versal need. Yet to multitudes the
 conditions under which alone busi-
 ness can thrive are a sealed book
 They imagine that the rules of busi-
 ness are purely arbitrary and can be changed at will without entailing
 harm. They do not realize the ne l cessity and the difficulty that con trol and shape the action of the man.
