Put Christmas Wreath
in IL Rightful Place

~ HEY were putting up the
Christmas tree In the village
community house with happy
anticipations. Meanwhile two
little folks and a dog were en-
joying themselves on a big Ice cake
along the bay shore. As the ice moved
on with the tide the children laughed
with delight, but Pluto, after dropping
his tail and thinking a moment, sur
prised them by giving a running leap
into the water and striking out for the
shore.
Not long after, Sim Gannett opened
the door Of his boat house to see what
the dog was barking about and was
greeted with a shower as Pluto shook
himself. Then the dog ran In, stood
upon his hing legs and begged, cock
ing his eyes towards the open door. As
Sim did not understand this Pluto
caught hold of his coat and pulled
him towards the doorway. Thinking
that the dog meant something, Sim,
finally looked out and saw the Ice float
ing seward with the two small figures
upon 1t.
1t did not take the old fisherman
long to get his boat down to the wa
ter and push 1t out through the float
ing Ice, and soon two youngsters and
a happy dog were huddled up in the
bow of the returning boat.
After the carols were sung that
night, they put the holly wreath that
had graced the top of the tree upon
Sim Gannett's neck, but Sim took 1t
off and put it upon Pluto and he acted
as though he knew that he deserved
it.-Christopher G. Hazard.

It's the same old story. Most mine
disasters occur in non-union mines,
where the safety regulations demand
ed by the union are flouted by auto
cratic bosses.
Sweatshops exist where employers
succeed In preventing union organiza-

country are found where there are no
unions. or where the unions are too
weak to offer resistance to injustices.
In union there is more than strength
there is moral and industrial de-

John Ruskin, Clotilde Domecq and
Euphemia Gray.

Ruskin'S love romances are ex-
tremely interesting stories, such as
one would hardly expect the great
art critic and social reformer to play
a part in. At seventeen he fell in love
with a captivating French girl of If
teen, Clotilde Domecq, the daughter
OF his fathers partner. The young
Ruskin resorted to poetry and imagi-
native narratives, in which brigands,
fair ladies and chivalrous youths
were the important personages. Clo-
tide being a rather hard name to
find rhymes for. he changed IL to
Adele, which could be suitably COM
bined with shell" spell" "knell,
etc. But Adele was inclined to see
more amusement than passion in
Ruskin's love, and met the boys pro-
testations and poetic offerings with
gay laughter. Two years later. Ruskin
received the news of her engagement
10 a French baron. He was so affected
that he wrote the most worthwhile
poem of all those that were inspired
by Clotilde. Describing her smile, he
says:
Unfeeling waves-oh! wherefore not
on me-"
when CIotilde married her baron.
Ruskin was preparing for a degree at
oxford. but the unfortunate ending to
his love brought on a touch of con-
snmption. of which he was later cured.
Ruskin met Euphemia Gray few
wears after Clotilde's marriage. She
asked him to write her a fairy tale

That was all that happened for a
long time, for the lady that lived in
the little house was shy and the
neighbors didn't understand her.
When once in long time they
passed her on the road, she smiled
shyly at them and stepped aside to
let them pass.
One day Peggy Robins rushed pant
ing to her mother: "Oh. mother,

oh. she's lovely. and oh. you ought to
see her house. and oh, she says Will
you come over and will you let me go

You see, the little brown house was
the workshop of a great story teller.
and she was longing to open her
doors and her heart to her neighbors.
! and especially for the children, but
she was too shy and thought they
didn't want to know her.
Now count up. Is there an old SOL

or a lawyer or a writer live in your

To cook rabbit right do it this
way: First, get the rabbit. clean
and cut into six pieces. Soak the
pieces in salt water foY several hours.
l usually soak 'em all night and right
up to the time for cooking. This
whitens and improves the meat.
When you are ready to cook, dry
the pieces, roll them in a beaten egg
and then in cracker crumbs. Put the
pieces into a very hot pan with plen-
ty of butter and fry to golden
brown. When the color is right put
water into the pan so that the rab-
bit is about half covered. Cover the
pan with a tight lid and steam slowly
until the water is all gone. Then

Touching Up the Lips.

The lips vary so in color that 1t is
almost impossible to match their ex-

women go about with dark, meolum
