informed as to the extent of FloraI

Secondly because the articles
tho a slur on the entire neighbor-
hood. We notice when other incl
dents are published the street and
house number are given and all

SIGNS OF DEMOCRACY.

Turn to Poland and you will get real news
OF the first effects OF democracy.
That nation free at last after its years OF subju-
CATION is beating back rapidly to prosperity through
the paths that lead through good Will. effort and
friendIiness.
II is true that the elections which held in No
vember important but not as important many
other things that happening.
For instance there a great fair in the city of
I.wow drawing buyers from many lands and exhib-
iting the work of its citizens in making OF
chinery. Poland hopes to capture this trade from
less industrially inclined lands.
There was football game at the capital with
team from the nation of Jugo Slovakia, result
ing in a close score and with 10000 people the
side lines roofing as hard did the college alumni
OF Princeton and Chicago
That game. a contest in sports. has succeeded the
bitterness - racial hatreds and warfare
You note that delegations OF newspaper men from
other nations are entertained by their foreign minis
ter and messages OF friendship and good will
TO the people. not the governments OF neighboring
states.
Next spring there Will be a national gathering
or Boy and Girl Scouts and a wornan's convention
at which the club leaders will discuss problems of
day
The news from Poland might almost be taken
from any American newspaper
That tells a story OF progress much better than
statistics such nations only but on

All along the stern and rock-bound

in the days Of the Puritan domination
were those that nature had planted
there and had adorned with fleecy
snow. The fires burned brightly on
the open hearths, but as far as the
children knew, Christmas was just
like any other day in the calendar.
Even after the Puritan reaction
against the forms and customs Of the

extent the children Of the Seventeenth
century still expected no gifts in hon.

Sarah meant faithfully to write
every day at least to her old dear. She
hated writing, but did really keep faith
the first day. After that she was so
held and hindered anything but pos
tails was impossible. Long distance
was small help. Captain could not
get to the phone; besides, getting CON
nection was a work of so much time
and bother it seemed not worth while.
Thus Fate unfairly cleared the way
for Miss Dean, a gifted letter writer
as EVER put words on paper. She went
daily with Molly to ask after the cap
tain, but could by no means be per-
suaded to set foot In his house. In
stead she SEN in letters-her very
best brand. Fairly written, full of
sympathy, but not maudlin, touched
lightly with humor and breathing
throughout subtly her desire to help
in making the world and the race
better. This not at first-not until
the captain, who found diversion in
answering courteOusly her sendings.
himself invited light upon her plan.
After that the deluge. She was far too
adroit for outright solicitation, but
her suggestions were double-shotted
and went home straight. The captain
sent for his trustees. In their absence
came a bright young fellow, Truman
by name and nature. By the time he
had read the third Dean letter hc

The opposition was, be 1t known
Sarah Linton. Truman meant to marry
her as soQn as he got a firm foothold.
Windmead, he knew. must be left out
of the calculation, Brother Jim would
make a living elsewhere and
Sarah could not possibly turn him out.
But he kept all that in the back Of his
mind. while the captain, kind soul,
unfolded his great scheme. 1t was to
compound his income for the Eve years
he might still reasonably expect to
live and give all but the barest pit
lance to 'the noblest Of ph~ilanthropies
that which teaches humanity to live
its best"
Such arrangements took time, said
Truman. The captain agreed. He also
agreed to say nothing to anybody
until further developments. AS a re-
suit Truman invited himself to the
far-off wedding. Luckily, he had been
at college with the bridegroom. And
he must have carried water of persua-
sion along, for when he came back
a week later he brought a wife, whom
he called, saucily, Sally of the Valley.
Straight to Captain Johnson he took
her, bursting in upon the convalescent
with, "Cap'n, here's the answer She'll
teach humanity to live its best. In
proof, she is adopting you legally.
We're going to live with you If you
let us, and saw you from the pious
Philistines."
The captain chuckled. "Just In
time" he said, Miss Dean proposed
this morning for the good Of the cause.
Now she can't marry me without the
consent Of my mother"
