"A short time ago the names and
pictures of the six greatest women
were laid before us by the pictorial
press. Who selected them or by
what standard they were .adjudged
great do not know. They were es-
Unable women, good women, re-
spectacle women, and do not ques-
tion their title to greatness. -. ... *.
Greatness to my mind, is a rela-
tive term. 1t may apply to many
kinds of activity. Many who through
ambition, conquest or greed achieved
a greatness, according to . certain
standards, were international, whole
salemurderers. In their private lives
they were dissolute, licentious, cruel
monsters: History sets them down as
great, but it does not tell of one tear
wiped from the face OF: pain or sor-
row by one of them.
Others who gather millions are
set down as great, but when we lift
the lid. from the crucible. in which
their wealth was formed, we see the
quivering, agony-distorted nerves,
sinews, and torn hearts Of men and
women ground. to pulp as they strug-
sled" to create wealth for those who
got it. Then we replace that lid in
horror. ss-'&.s
So, then. what is greatness? To
my mind it consists OF doing for
fellow man instead of doing him. 1t
consists Of giving, rather than get
ting. and by giving I do not mean
giving the money! houses. or lands. I
mean service. to others instead of
self. T.
Judging by that Standard 1 ask
permission to name one woman who
symbolizes greatness, and in doing
soSlet me say that L do not wish to
take one: leaf .fromts the wreath of
sheatness worn ~ others, i merely
wish to place tho laurel crown of
greatness upon the head 'of Mother

FAMOUS WRITERS OF HUM0R
Americans Who Made Their Names
Celebrated Were Essentially Men
of Highest Character.

"BIl Nyc," our own Edgar Wilson
humorous sketches for the Laramie
Boomerang. of which he was editor.
The name of "Bll Nye" was bestowed
on him by his office associates. His
book, "Baled Hay" was very popular
for a time, but. like much humorous
writing, its popularity was ephemeral.
"Bill Nye" was much loved by all who
knew him. He was considered "the
greatest American liar"
William r. Adams was the noted
"Oliver Optic" who wrote more than
a thousand stories. He died much
mourned by young readers, for whom
most of his books were written.
Under the name Of ArtemuS Ward,
Charles F. Browne made worldwide
reputation as a lecturer and humorist.
He was an inimitable wag; his humOr
was irresponsible and kept all about
him in a constant state of merriment.
He was the first writer TO adopt
phonetic spelling. He died in 1869.
Eli ftTklrlS WAS contemporary
with "Artemus Ward" and it was
Ward who bestowed the nom de plume
upon him. Melville n. Landon was es-
sentially funny man." but not truly
humorist. He was a gentle, kindly
man and one who loved his fellows

DON'T SWALLOW THEIR YOUNG
Popular Idea Concerning Snakes 10 Not
Borne Out by the Observations
Of Scientists.

Snakes don't swallow their young.
The ventral scales on a female snake
are controlled by a muscle just behind
the head. Ordinarily they are hori.
xOntal, but when the mother snake
scents danger she contracts the muscle
on the back Of her neck, which i'm
mediately brings the scales to a YER
tical position. This opens q slit
under the bottom jaw, and at the same
time loosens the abdominal skin, thus
forming pouch. The younger ones
dart through the slit and into the
pouch, and this Is what has led peo-
pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
1t requires careful and skilled dis
section to detect the pouch, because
the skin shrinks when a snake il
killed. When the poison gland is re-
moved 1t tightens the skin under the
neck, and the youngsters can't get
into the pouch. In the female snake,
between the pharynx and the gullet,
there Is a peculiar, lid-like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't
possibly return.

CHRISTMAS TREES WILL LAST
Little Danger That in Years to Come

advises writer in the Kansas City
Star
The forests are there to be used. and
If, as we utilize the trees. we make II
possible by replanting for our children
and our children's children to have
trees, there is no reason for not having
Christmas trees as well as all the lum-
Der we need.
That is the way the scientific for
ester. the man who grows trees like
the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter Of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettable
ruthless cutting Of spruce and fir for
the Christmas tree market in northern
states. many Christmas trees are now q
by-prOduct of the forests. There are
small trees in every properly managed
woodlot that must be sacrificed so
that the others may have room to
grow. These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries. Baby spruce and
fir trees are planted by man so that
the babies and children of man can
have Christmas trees i'm their nurs-
cries. And Christmas tree 10
usually between the ages Of five and
ten years. just about the age Of the
child who enjoys Christmas most. In
the future years, it is expected that
nearly all of our Christmas trees will

THE plain tailored suit, which has
been for so long the mainstay
Of our wardrobes, has a compel
itor that boldly proclaims its intention
to become a rival. Its fOrerunners
were the riding habit, with breeches
instead of skirts, and undeniably smart
and becoming followed by golfing
suits that daily grow more popular.
Besides these, during the war, 'serv-
Ice suits proved themselves practi-

hiking, touring and outdoor work, and
In them knickerbOckers were substi-
tuted for skirts. Women have grown
accustomed to them, and there is no
doubt that they will keep the places
they have won in the wardrobe; there
is no reason why they should not.
But now there is a concerted effort
on the part of many women whose
occupations take them out of the home
almost every day, to adopt and pro-
mote the knickerbOcker suit for gen.
eral wear. Just how successful this
effort will be, remains to be seen. It
is not safe TO prophesy, but the
chances are that the knicker suit will
not replace the skirt suit. Like the
sports hat, 1t will, very likely, merely
be another item added to wardrobes
that become diversified as the occupa-
tions of women become diversified.

Holy Communion will be celebrat'

announce himself in due time. Don't

the newly confirmed children will re-

class will attend in a body before
all other communicates.
Last Sundays service was a very

membership of our church. Let us
include these children in our daily
prayers, asking God to guide them
and to keep them in the narrow path

brass cross to the congregation for
our altar. Everyone will be delight.

May the members Of the class ever
remain true to Him who has hallowed
the cross for us.
The Trinity Junior Society is also
making itself felt. This young but
growing society has decided to pur.
chase a hymn tablet for our new
hymnals. This will help to avoid
confusion between the numerals of
the old and new hymnals. The tab
let is already ordered and will soon
be here.
The special door collections at both
of the communion services will be
apportioned to our synodical treas
uries.
The Trinity Lutheran Society has
received permission to place a bull
letin board into the right vestibule
of our church. We are badly in need
OF tract rack. Such a gift would
be a splendid investment for the
spreading Of the truth.
