jews WILL RULE WORLD,

NEW YORK, March 15.-That the
Jews eventually will dominate the
world was asserted last night by the
Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton at CAL
vary Baptist Church. He mentioned
prophesies in the Bible to bear out
his prediction.
DR.. Straton discussed Henry Ford's
charges that a handful of interna-
tional Jewish bankers seek to rule
the world. DR.. Straton said
There Is no denying many of the
facts that Mr.. Ford gives. From
the standpoint of numbers the Jew
ish race is Insignificant. Despite this
there is the phenomenon of their
world power, not only in money
making, but in the field of states

"For one. ] believe the real secret
Is that Gods age-oTd plans are

power prove, not a worldwide con-
spiracy, but the working out of
Providential plans"

CHRISTMAS BAG FOR GUESTS
Container for Presents Attached to
Backs Of Chairs With Bow of
Red Satin Ribbon.

TINE Christmas bag is an innova-
l. ton planned by one housekeeper.
The breakfast table is-to be decorated
with a mirror in the center, outlined
as a star by holly sprigs,, and with a
slender cut glass vase in the center
holding red chrysanthemums. Long
stemmed flowers also radiate from the
central star with the blossoms toward
the plates of those for whom the
flowers are intended. Every napkin
lies beneath Christmas card with
sprig of holly tied upon it with red
ribbon, and to the back of every chair
is tied n bag with big red satin bow.
The bags are of all sizes, and each
is full of individual gifts. One is an
opera bag, another shopping bag
in black and gold, still another is
brown leather and gold nailheads, an
other bag for collars and cuffs, an
other gay laundry bag, one is sug-
gestive of the scraps grandmother will
put into it, and the other of books
that a small girl will carry to school.
All are as dainty and fine as careful
workmanship and good materials can
make them, and there will be fun
emptying the materials out of the va
riouS bags.

The fact that we can get flowers out
of doors at Christmas time is in itself
sufficient justification for growing
the Christmas rose. but besides that
it is worth growing for itself, says
Country Life in America. It's large
white flowers. fully two inches across,
resembling those of a giant single
rose, although as a matter of fact it
belongs~to the same family as the but
tercups, never fail to excite enthusi-
assn in the season of snow and ice.
The plant itself grows only six to
eight inches high, and the large,
greenish-white flowers are borne in
clusters and nestle closely among the
dark green leaves.

"Be CAREFUL" he muttered quickly,
for Ivy had nearly lost her balance.
She had witnessed the fervent gesture
of Evans in the mirror. She stepped
to the floor, her face crimson, her eyes
showing half fright, and GREATNESS
with emotion. In intense tones he
whispered:

but if you care for me-" and then
Mrs. Dalrymple abruptly entered the
room and Evans had no further OPP
portunity of seeing Ivy alone. The
next day a position with the circus
was offered and he gave heed to the
call of ambition.
His eyes glowed now, and there was

Plants for Christmas.

Other things being equal it is bet
ter to buy plants near ones home than
to travel afar. Do not be tempted,
even by cheap offers, to go miles
away, for counting car fares, packing,
expressage and lost time, the ultimate
cost is very likely to be more than If
you paid good deal higher price at
home. OF course it may happen that
one grower or florist has large stock
of some one thing and can sell at a
low rate, but dealers usually have an
understanding with one another es-
pecially regarding holiday prices, and
for weeks before the holiday season
they have been balancing stock with
each other, so that the better quality
plants are of an almost fixed value.

1t was a 2O-mile drive to Weston.
Late in the afternoon, arrayed in
Santa Claus costume, Evans started on
his trip. Mrs. Dalrymple had the lit
tie ones posted at the windows, and
the Christmas tree was lighted At
the sound of sleigh bells she switched

Funny Christmas Habit.

THERE'S not drug store, cigar shop
or barroom in the larger cities which
has not been made the storage room
for Christmas presents bought before
the rush sets in. The strange part Of
it is that every man who utiliZeS the
friendship of his favOrite place round
the corner thinks he is the only one
who thought of the plan. Realizing
that the stores will be crowded, many
far-sighted heads of families bought
their presents a week in advance, and
then, fearing the nature of the mystic
riouS package would be discovered at
the office or at home, they hit upon the
device of making cache in some re-
