tie the Mexican trouble. the Texas
Rangers will" That is what people
Of Texas said when, several years
ago, Villa was keeping the border
people in terror. 1t shows the con
fidence the Texans have in their
Rangers.
One time a Texas Ranger was
caught in ranch house which was
besieged by band of Mexicans.
Only the rancher and his wife and
daughter were on the ranch. Along
came another Ranger who had ex-
pected to meet his pal at that par
ticular ranch house. He crept as
near to the house as possible, then
he got up and walked cody in,
right under the fire of the aston
ished Mexicans. The two Rangers
held off the whole attacking band
for hours, until a detachment of
Rangers arrived and settled the
matter. That is one reason why
the Rangers are so much respected.
The Texas Rangers is a very old
DISdulIdllOH. IT'S ueuDtIS helpcu
to build the state of Texas. Num-
bered among their men are many
famous and daring fighters. Dur
ing the Comanche war OF 1903
the first band of Rangers as we
know then today was officially or
ganized.
The Rangers have no natty uni
form Chaps" a flannel shirt, and
a Stetson--that is their outfit
They provide their own horses and
are given carbines and pistols.
They have no school of training,
but are plain, everyday Texans
who are sworn to uphold the law,
and who are willing TO take long
rides without food and sleep and
to face danger till the very end,
There are four companies OF
Rangers in Texas today. They are
listed as constables, and each
Ranger has a certain territory to
patrol.
The requirements of the organ
ization are few. The Rangers
must be good riders and marks
men, and they must be only such
men as are courageous, discreet,
honest, of temperate habits, and OF
respectable families"

The Poor Weatherman!

Eleanor is a little girl 5 years
old, who goes to school and who
takes her lunch on rainy days. One
morning, she got up and asked her
mother if it was going to rain. Her
mother said, Il don't know yet we
will see how it looks when you are
eating your breakfast"
But Eleanor ran to the almanac
and looked to see what it said
would be the weather for that day,
and was delighted to see it said
rain.
THAT may not be so, though"
said her mother, you can not be
sure of what calendars say about
the weather"
"Oh, but mother" said the little
girl seriously, God wouldn't let
the weatherman tell a lie"

Fred, the Marksman

Once a boy lived with his
mother This boys name was
Fred. He was a good boy and a
good marksman. He could shoot a
small bird from limb of tree.
One day as he was hunting, a
king rode up to him and asked him
who he was. The boy told him.
The king said. Il have heard you
are a good marksman."
Fred replied that he was. The
king said, "Show me that you are.
SO. Fred took an arrow and said,
DO you see that rabbit over on
the hill? | will hit it for you"
The king did not believe it. The
boy took aim and shot. His aim
was true. He hit the rabbit and
gave it to the king.
The king said he was a good
boy and asked him to come and
live with him to be one Of his
hunters.
The boy said yes, but he would
have to bring his mother
The king said that was all right.
Fred went and got his mother and
they were rich the rest OF their
lives in the kings palaces. Ken

CANADA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS

In the fort AZ Quebec 3S5 years
ago the first Canadian Christmas
was being celebrated. Jacques
Cartier and his home-sick, discour-
aged men were trying, to bring a
Christmas of old France into the
new, strange country.
Cartier had come out to spend
the winter in Canada to take pos
session of it in the name of the soy
ereign. He soon came to love the
beautiful, wild country through
which he tirelessly made his way.
He wrote of it: 1T is as good land
as it may be possible to behold, and
very fruitful, full of exceedingly
fair trees"
But he found that the smiling
land had teeth behind its smile.
The beautiful fall turned into
biting winter By Christmas four
feet of snow covered the land and
the fair trees" were coated with
ice. Cartier had not been prepared
for such weather,
He had left some sailors and
workmen back in Quebec to build
up a fort. SO he went back to
them TO spend Christmas. He
found that the men were suffering
from scuryy. In addition he found
that the Indians of the neighbor-

hood, who had been friendly to the
Frenchmen, were behaving in
very suspicious manner. and his
men, broken by cold and disease,
were expecting trouble at any time.
1t was under these conditions
that the first Christian Christmas
was celebrated in Canada. If the
brave Cartier could have looked
into the future and seen, instead OF
the flimsy fort, the busy streets OF
Quebec today with their Christ
housekeeping crowds, he would
not have found it quite so hard TO
celebrate a merry" Christmas.

The Secret Stairway

The old Randolph place. once the
finest house in town, was falling
onto decay since the Colonel had
died. The Turner's, another branch
of the family. lived there. They
were TOO poor to fix the house up.
Besides, they were working and
saving to pay off the last of an old
mortgage. Colonel Randolph, who,
before his death, had lost his mind,
insisted he had raised the money
and paid it, but no record of his
turning any money over had ever
been found Apparently he had
saved nothing.
The Turner's wished to keep the
place in the family because of its
history. Old settlers told stories
of how it had once been a sta
ton" for the underground rail
way in the days when there was
a chain of people who helped run
away slaves TO escape.
Lets play hide and seek" sug-
gested Tim Turner one rainy day.
"All right, only We mustn't have
the house all torn up when mother
gets back" said Mildred. I'm be
it,"
Jimmy decided he'd find a new
place to hide. SO he went up to
the attic and crouChed down in a
corner and Crouched down in a
corner behind a trunk, He pushed
back against the wall in order to
brace himself comfortably. There
was a cracking sound The wall
behind him gave way.
The boy jumped up and looked
at the hole made by the broken
board His eyes opened wide.
Then he tore eagerly at some of
the other boards, until he had
made a larger opening through
which he crawIed into a tiny room
under the rafters They had never
known this place existed. Tim
saw that it contained an old rusty
bed, and a tumble-down bureau. In
one corner was large hold. Tim
peered down it and found a narrow
staircase.
The stair seemed so rotten he
was afraid to try it, but from the
heat against the wall he knew the
staircase had been built by fixing
partition in the big chimney. Evil
IDENTIFY there was some hidden open
ing in the fireplace.
80 this is where they hid run
away slaves while they were wait
ing to send them on" thought Tim.
This is a fine place for hiding
things. Funny the Colonel never
told us about it. I wonder won
der" He pulled open the bur
eau drawers, trembling with ex-
element
Then in the corner of one of the
drawers his hands closed over
what he had been looking for,
scarcely daring to hope he would
find it-a mouldy bag. Mildred,
Phil, everybody" he cried, as into
his eager fingers he poured the
of the bag. I've found
the Colonel's mortgage money!"

| cried vibrantly. Who is she?' Anthony was making queer mouths; Johnson Boiler was doing nothing whatever; and when three seconds had passed Beatrice whirled abruptly on the only other possible source of information present, which happened to be Wilkins. "You-you creaturei" Beatrice said. What woman was in this apartment last night?" Now, as it chanced Wilkins was far more intelligent than he looked. Give him the mere hint to a situa- ton and he could lumber through somehow. Only a little while ago. when Hobart Hitchin came upon them, he had caught the key to this affair-so he smiled quite confidently and bowed.
 There was no woman here last night, ma'am," said Wilkins. "eniy Mrs. Boiler, the wife of that sentle- man therei'
 Johnson Boiler. with a thick. sense less shout, bounded forward and landed directly between Wilkins and his beloved as he snarled;
 Say, you-you lying dog! There was no lady here!"
 Wilkins, after brief, intent look at Johnson Boilers fists, turned and fled,
 ''So this" said Mrs. Johnson Boiler with deadly calm, "is what happens when you think I've gone awayi"
 Her husband turned upon her and threw out his hands. r "Beatrice!' he cried. T swear to you"
 where is she?" And. her whole mien altering in an instant, Mrs Boilers hands clenched tightly and her face famed with outraged fury. Where is she?'
 Johnson Boiler looked around wild ly and helplessly.

 Followed a pause. Anthony had nothing whatever to say; after wit messing an exhibition like that he never had anything to say for an hour or more that a lady could hear. He stood, a cold, stately. disgusted figure, surglng internally-and after a time the inimical radiations from him reached Beatrice. for she laughed uneasily.

 So far as concerned Johnson Bol- Ter. Mary had been waited out of this world; all aglow with witless happi- ness, he pointed at the door as he said:

 Beatrice. distinctly startled, glanced at him and nodded and left. Anthony. drawing the first real breath in a full minute. glared at his friend in silence; but the mornings dread sit uation had slid from Johnson Bol- ler's shoulders as a drop of water from a ducks back.
 Anthony's mouth opened to speak. Yet he did not speak. Instead. he jumped, just as one jumps at the un- expected explosion of a firecracker- for down the corridor a scream, shrill and sharp. echoed suddenly.
 And after the scream came a long, choking gasp, so that even Wilkins appeared in the doorway and John son Boiler darted forward to learn what had overtaken his only darling. Even as he darted forward. Beatrice had rejoined them.

 For this unpleasant condition the hat in her hand seemed largely re- sponsible. It was a pretty little hat. expensively simple. but it was the hat of a lady!
 And, looking from it to Johnson Boiler, Beatrice finally managed:
