a league of benevolence for the Je-
rusalem poor. He dared death for
his cause again and again. He wrote
his various letters that form so large
a part of our New Testament and
created the compact organization
that has perpetuated the work of Je-
sus. Finally he faced death with a
cheer and having fought good fight
received the crown. Such was the
man who carried Christmas to the
ends of the world and who became
what he was to that world because
of his worship of the Christ who gave
it. Who follows in his train?
WHAT MAY WE Do WITH
THE LESSON?
The primary teacher will probably
omit Paul altogether and with pic
ture sand-table or story make the
visit Of the Wise Men vivid and I'M
forgetable.
The junior teacher may follow the
same plan and may dramatic the
old story with great profit. 1t seems
pity to omit the later figure and
not review the events a bit. A map
will serve to link the stories. The
best drill can be obtained from a map
pasted upon cardboard into which
pins may be stuck at the various
places that may be mentioned, Run
a black thread from Tarsus to Jeru-
salem and to Damascus. Change to
white and follow his course to Anti
och. A red one may be fastened
along the pine marking his first jour
ney, olive-drab may represent the
second that was beginning of world
conquest; yellow for the, third with
its money collected for the poor; blue
for the trip to Rome with its perils
that revealed the true manhood he
possessed and if the later movements
are touched green may indicate the
immortality that it shaded into thru
the headsman's sword at Rome.
The intermediate teacher will be
particularly DESTROYS to close the les
son series fittingly and some review
will be necessary. Perhaps if the
parts of Paul's life are assigned to
individuals for written story of the
events of the period given and these
are read in class it will serve the
purpose. Teach as briefly as posi-
BILE the Christmas story and then
have the stories. Or characteristics
OF Paul may be as, What makes
you believe that Paul had courage,
patience, cheerfulness, tact, friendli-
ness, determination, industry. indie
pendence, etc? These may be brought
IN writing as suggested above.
The adult teacher may perhaps
class Paul as the. other Wise Man
and having touched the Christmas
story estimate its effect as seen in his
life of which it was certainly the in
spiration. He was always a Bible
student; how did it effect his atti-
tude toward the Old Testament ,
What effect did it have upon his own
writing? What change in mission
airy activity; in attitude toward the
Gentiles; in the substance of relig-
ion, etc? Make assignments for re-
port.

Bio ExpendIture for LuxurIes.

Washington.-Fed tax returns
have been given curious applications
in connection with problems now be-
fore the conference on limitation of
armament. Statisticians for the gov
ernment have labored hard to bring
the relative figures as to military ex-
penditures and the amounts spent by
the people Of the country for amuse-
ments and minor luxuries out so
sharply that their significance would
be seen at glance. One set of tables
shows that, against $41S,OOO,OOO spent
for the army, the people expended
1884, 100000 in soda and corrections
and 1858, 100000 for perfumery, jewell
ry, silk stockings and other articles
for personal adornment. The smokers
poured out $1.151 100000 for tobacco
in all forms. Baseball fans, theater-
goers, cabaret frequenters and thos
attending concerts paid $S97.000,0O0.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applca-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

after Christmas and the next year
came forth again, and the price pu
upon me had risen from two cents t.
five.
The next year 1 cost ten cents. Still
l did not SELL
"We'll have to charge a quarter foI
that card" my owner said, 'and gel
up the prices of some Of these others
or they won't be bought"
So was a quarter. And then
cost so cents and was purchased.

I'm started off early in the first place
So far, too, I've been greeted with
JOY, and an exclamation do not quite
understand.
"Oh, good! Here's card which is
marked fifty cents. Who would believe
1t possible, but no matter, it did And
it's not written on, either"

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
fHHN1 HAT would Christmas be with
VlXU out the melody of the bells
ringing good Will toward men

ringing good VIII toward men
Bell ringing Is one of the Oldest of
Christmas customs. At one time, in
England, the ringers gave their serv-
ices free. nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as a matter Of course. and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells In
Great Britain and wherever churches
have peals of bells, is today as much
a feature of Christmas as the decora-
tion of church and home with ever
greens, or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be If
an ediet were issued forbidding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season. Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
In 1852 the wise men of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the five-and-twentieth day
Of December, commonly called Christ
mas day."
1t is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
in others 1t led to open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor Of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived Of their
pleasures so easily, so they took the
law into their own hands, broke the
mayors windows-and some Of his
bones as well-and affirmed their in
tention of keeping their Christmas in
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before them.

HUNG JURY IN FIRST CASE DIS.
CHARGED AFTER IL HOURS
DELIBERATIoN.
WOMAN HANGS JURY
FOREMAN SAYS Estates EVI.
DENcE INSULT TO JURY"
MAKES STATEMENT.
(we.t.rn Newspaper Union New, Service.

San Francisco, Calif.-The jury
which tried Roscoe Arbuckle on a
charge Of manslaughter was discharged
as unable to agree after it had delib-
Grated forty-one hours. The jury was
brought into court at its own request,
reported disagreement and asked
that 1t be discharged. The foreman
announced that the final ballot stood
10 to 2, but he did not say whether
the majority favored conviction or ac-
quittal. The case was set for retrlal
Jan. Q. Court officers said, however.
that the balloting favored acquittal
throughout.
In a statement following the jury's
return, Arbuckle declared one of the
five women jurors had prevented his
acQuittal because she refused to al
low her fellow jurors to discuss the
evidence or reason with her, and would
not give any reason for her attitude"
He did not name the juror
Charges that attempts were made to
intimidate Mrs. Helen NJ. Hubbard,
juror in the Roscoe Arbuckle man
slaughter trial are being investigated.
U'Ren said that Mrs. Hubbard told
him the bailiff who had charge of the
jury and number of reporters that
Gus Olivia, a commission merchant,
approached her husband, Il. w. Hub
bard, with view to having him use
his influence to have her change her
vote.
Mrs. Hubbard let 1t be known that
she had been voting for a verdict of
guilty on the manslaughter charge
whereof the motion picture comedian
was accused.
The following signed statement was
issued by August Frltze, foreman Of
the jury that tried Arbuckle:
II make this statement as duty to
the public. There was tacit under
standing that the members of the jury
would not make individual statements.
have learned since that number OF
the jury have, however, done so, and
believe, as foreman, that it is well
for those interested In the administra-
ton of Justice that the citizens of San
Francisco should have facts.
'The ten members of the jury who
voted on the last ballot for acquittal
felt that they voted on the evidence,
fully considering it all. One of the
two minority refused to consider the
evidence from the beginning and said
at the opening of the proceedings that
she would cast her ballot and would
not change it until hell froze over.
"The other was fluctuating, some
times casting n blank ballot, some
times voting for the defense and
sometimes voting for the prosecution.
Considering all the evidence, 1t
seemed to us that the prosecutions
case was an insult to the intelligence
Of the jury. 1t asked us to substitute
for facts without showing
what had been done, and asked lis to
guess what might have been done and
to guess only one way.
Human liberty and American rights
should depend, not upon guesses Of
anybody, but upon evidence.

Henry Cameron, Is years old, who
works on his uncle's mountain side
farm near Salem, Va, for $40 a month,
often dreamed, he said, of finding a
treasure and buying farm of his own.
Recently, while blowing, he unearthed
peculiar looking object which at
tracted his attention.
Investigation revealed that he had
found a small metal pot, wrapped in
buckskin, containing gold and silver
coins valued at $14,903. About $4,000
was in gold, 5000 in silver and the bal
ance in paper money so badly disinte-
grated that the denominations could
not be distinguished. The latest date
on any of the coins was 1928.
Young Cameron, first bewildered,
wa fearful that his fortune might be
taken from him and kept his discovery

finally told his mother. Cameron and
his mother are both happy now.

WRECK VICTIM AND
PLAINS GIRL MARRY
MISS FRANCES BARNES AND
MR.. w. M. HAMMOND TAKE
vows AT HOSPITAL.

Mr.. William M. Hammond, who
was seriously hurt in a freight train
wreck in the yards of the Seaboard
Air Line railroad in Dawson several
days ago, and Miss Ethel Frances
Barnes, of Plains, were united in mar
riage Friday at the hospital in Amer
icus, where Mr.. Hammond was taken
after his injuries. The Times-Record-
er of Saturday tells of the romantic
incident as follows:
although William Morgan Ham
mond, railroad hagman, lies at the
Americas and Sumter County Hos
pita1 with broken leg, caused in
wreck this week on the Seaboard
Air Line, at wson, Cupid
came to his bedside Friday at noon
and presented him with bride Of
fairest beauty.
The wedding was the elimination
of a pretty romance begun some
months ago when Mr. Hammond met
Miss Ethel Frances Barnes at her
pretty home in Plains. When Miss
Barnes learned of his accident she
came to Americas to be with him at
the hospital, returning to her home
each afternoon. Realizing that she
might be of double assistance to him
in his helplessness, she decided to
become his wife at once, which she
did. Rev. Henry T. Brookshire, pas
tor of the Central Baptist church, was
called to perform the ceremony, which
was witnessed by the entire corps of
nurses at the hospital, besides numer-
Gus visitors to the hospital, and sew
eral of its patients.
Gorgeous flowers adorned the
room in which the bridegroom lay
propped up in his snowy bed, gifts of
sympathetic friends during his dis
ability, and the scene was one OF I'M
usual beauty, as we'll as romance.
Immediately following the cere-
mony the bride left for her home in
Plains to receive parental forgiveness,
which she feared might not be readily
forthcoming, as objections were raised
because of her extreme youth and in
experience"
