RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
THE CRIMINAL


/ mark the specialist in crime,
as on his course he hops. and
when he isn't serving time, he's
lodging gumshoe cops; and he
can never reach a cline where
the avenger stops. He makes a
killing now and then, and swipes
some suckers hoard; but never
may, like other men. the whole
some joys afford and soon or
later In the pen he has his bed
and board. For him there is no
peace of mind. no rest at set OF
sun, and moral people and re-
fined he evermore must shun,
and If he hears step behind,
his impulse Is to run. His
nerve forsakes him when he's
old, his days are days of dread,
the step that once was firm and
bold is like a rabbits tread, and,
shaking in the dark and cold.
he wishes he were dead. And
If he'd use the clever brain with
which he is endowed, for pur-
poses of honest gain, In ways by
law allowed, when old age gets
him he might train with any
classy crowd. 'Tis strange that
men of splendid gifts elect with
crooks TO chase and try out all
the evil shifts that stern de-
tectives trace, and Join the car
AVIAN that drifts To prison and
disgrace. 'Tis strange because
they we'll must know the end of
such a trail; the law will dog
them 10 and fro and in the end
prevail; and crime will bring
them only woe, and long years
in a Jail.

CHRISTMAS DOES
NOT STAND ALONE
n + CHRISTMAS stood alone 1t
O would be an idle mockery.

It CHRISTMAS stood alone 1t
Ov would be an idle mockery.
But it does not stand alone. Z
1t is part OF a year. Yet 1t Is a
peculiar part. 1t is that brief
period in which the child rules
the world.
1t marks nowadays the cul-
mination of civilization which
has had a leading principle.
The selfish, the hard. the grasp
Ing and the unsparing are out
and apart that one week from
the great flowing tide of the
development Of the worlds
progress. The man or woman
who does not know this or see
1t or feel it Ia alien to the Chris
tian spirit and to all the prod
ucts wrought by the Christ
spirit In the twenty centuries
last past.
Christmas day, then, brings
message. But It also sings
song Of hope and calls aloud
prophecy. The message Is that
gentleness Is stronger far than
force and that the greatest pow
er on earth is the compelling
power of tenderness.
Every Christmas tree is lit
with that light. The great food
of presents bears this as It's
message. The cheer and
charity of the whole season are
fed by this love.
If the result Of this process
is only century flower, how
ever, or one that blooms even
only once a year, then of what
use is this more than that, this
grotesque fact than that
stranger plant? It Is a curious
phenomenon only, hothouse
spectacle and not an abiding
food product.-Rev. DR.. David

Dutch Government insists that former
Crown Prince Frederick William OF Ger

place In Holland, the Government will
continue to bear the cost of his resi-
dence there. said Prime Minister Jonk-
heer Ruys de Beerenbrouck in answer
TO a demand made In a report by the
Second Chamber that Frederick William
should pay for his own upkeep.
The answer of the Prime Minister also
revealed officially the status of the
former Crown Prince in Holland. The
actual internment OF the former Crown
Prince ended a few days after his ar
rival in wieringen.' said the Minister.
Tn the meantime the island was fixed
up as a place for his residence and il
was a matter of course that the ex-
penses resulting from this Government
order were paid by the Treasury. The
costs only amount to the rent of very
simple house and the furnishing and
maintenance OF It."
