RAT FIGHTS FOR CRACKER
Rodent Attacks Little Girl on Street. Pedestrian Grabs 1t by Tail
 and Kills 1t.

New York.-EmbOldene by hunger, huge rat, one of number seen recent ly just outside of Bronx park, at- tackled Helen Miller, four years old, playing with other children and tore away a piece of one stocking before an onlooker clutched the animal by its tail and dashed it to death on the sidewalk.
 She dropped box of crackers she was carrying. Instantly the rat ran toward her from it's hiding place at the fence Her socks had slipped down over her shoe tops and theS rat, pre- sumably trying to bite her, sunk it's teeth in the sock.
 A rat hunt ensued Half a dozen. all large and vicious, were killed Keepers in the Bronx zoo said the rats went into the lion and tiger cages in search of scraps of meat. |

be a likeness of her dead sister etched on the silver surface of the mirror
 Gradually the likeness grew until from top to bottom of the mirror, a distance of IS inches, the photograph is now complete. The girl appears with the bouquet clasped in the hands. The boards on w:ilch the body rested, also are clearly visible.
 It Is the accepted theory of local scientists that the photograph is the action of sunlight on the window panes and the silvered surface of the mirror, although so far as known there Is no similar case on record. Some are inclined to believe it to be a di- vine manifestation.
 The picture most closely resembles an old-fashioned daguerreotype and eff forts to wash or rub it off the mirror, both from the front and back, have proved unsuccessful.

CONVICT FLEES WITH FAMILY
Posse OVertakes Fugitives FIounderino in the Mud and Almost
 Exhausted.

St. Johns, Ariz.-An odd sort of jail break was that of Clarence Sebring from the Apache county jail. He was liberated by outside help. He went at once to a house where his seven teen-year-old wife was lodging with their infant child and took them with him in his flight
 The couple were trailed without diff ficulty, as they had ffoundered through mud for about ten miles during a rainy night and morning. They were found about exhausted, less than ten miles from their starting point, though they had travelled much farther, owing to their lack of knowledge of the coun- try. Sebring was not armed and sur rendered gladly. He had been sen fenced for the forgery of $23 check.

NIHEN the shades of evening gather w And the Christmas time is here
 And you go home from your labor To enjoy the Christmas cheer When the Christmas tree is lighted And the children gather round, There is one thing must be present If the greatest joy Is found. There must be inner conscience
 Telling you with truthful voice That you've done something for someone That will help that one rejoice Some poor stranger, widow, orphan, Someone that you did not owe. An, the gift need not be costly
 To relieve another's woe. And the greatest gift at Christmas That person e'er received Was to know that through his efforts Someone's suffering was relieved For the Master. on whose birthday All the Christmas gifts are given. Will see that act and send to him Christmas gift from heaven. Thomas G. Andrews in Kansas City

THERE is a contrast to the holid

MERE is contrast to the holiday
 A atmosphere as one passes into the dark and damp underground way out of the great depot. A chill strikes upon the soul as well as upon the body. The passer hurries on to escape into the light and cheer of the street. He hugs his Christmas packages a little closer and tries to whistle him. self into something like gayety.
 Suddenly he is startled and helped by the tones of a merry tune and dis covers the old blind man who has long haunted the dismal place. For years this unfortunate has made it his one business to stand there and pipe up the failing spirits of travellers. His face has refused the marks of dark ness and his soul has kept gladness behind its closed and curtained win dows. As one stops to leave a token and word of appreciation with him he says, Thank you; don't know as I ever did anybody any good; some people don't like It."

Too Much Santa Claus

Don't mistake us. Not too much of the ennoblng spirit of Christmas but perhaps too great decaton m the minds of the Ste ones, of that mythical northern spirit Old Saint Nicholas and too little impression made on their plastic young minds of the real significance of the day. the sacred birthday of Him. whose owy cradle was that Bethlehem manager in the long ago.
 Once decade or so ago, serious young teacher was seeking earnestly to explain to the little Apache children committed to her care something of the meaning of Christmas The little brown children had very scanty vocabulary and perhaps the young teacher though dead ly serious was tre too young and eager and unsop- histcated. ;..
 biz trimmed Christmas Tree stood in the corner of the school room sending its spicy resnaden odors thru the stuy air and they could understand that with its tnsel and bags of candy and when she had told them the legend of Santa his reindeer they shvly grinned glancng at the tree and its gifts with whole-hearted appreciation.
 Then the grlsh little teacher took up the soberer, sadder tale of the Wonder Child, who first opened his eyes within the owly confines of waysde stable Be- cause perhaps they liked the teacher perhaps be- cause her voice took stler, quieter, re- weren't note the little brown babies sat very sti and looked straight at her wtK wide-open dark eyes, as though drinking it all n At the end of the story the young teacher thought to drive the lesson home by few questions she asked,
 ''Now children, whose birthday is Christmas?"
 There long pause, and they all looked ques- toningy at the tree and then at the teacher though they hoped to find the written in her face At last little Paul Peaches, chubby little bronze cherub, but of the brightest in the roo waved plump hand above his head and when the teacher asked again,
 ''Wel, Paul, whose birthday is it?', he stammered out in hesitating accents,
 Santa Causesp"
 The teacher collapsed wearily in her chair and thought ruefuly of wasted hour but in spite of herself she had to laugh and when the children saw her lips curve they laughed too and the teacher began all over again
 Santa Claus is a jolly old soul and wouldn't for words dsbelieVe in him, but it is much harder for the infante mind to grasp the sweet significance of that humble birthday centuries ago. than is to visualize this merry Old Saint. He is himself akin to the spirit oi childhood, universal youth.
 It is the older folk that the children go for their stories by which they learn much that lies in store for them. This year when the children cluster round your knee Christmas Eve tell them first the merry jingle of old Kris Krnge, but just before their drowsy eyes have closed in sumber tell them also the sweet old story of the Christ Childs birth

studied the problem of growing
the best varieties of corn for this
