A story about Florence Nightingale, the
famous Crimean nurse, was told at the
Colony club in New York by a woman
journalist, says an exchange.
“When I visited Miss Nightingale in
her London house last year,” she said,
‘‘though 86 years old, she had a mind as
clear as my own. A little girl was call-
ing on her. She was very fond of chil-
dren. She told me that this little girl
believed very profoundly in Santa Claus.

A BRIGHT IDEA.
The head of a certain Pittsburg manu-
facturing concern is an old gentleman who
built up his bnusjness from nothing by
his own dogged and persistent toll, and
who never felt that he could spare the
time for a vacation. Not long ago, how-
ever, he decided that he was getting along
in years, and that h<a was entitled to a
resit Calling hlg son Into the library,
he said:
“Tom, I've worked pretty hard for quite
a while now and have done pretty well,
so I have about decided to retire and
turn the business over to you. What do
you 'say ?”
The young man pondered the situation
gravely. Then a bright idea seemed to
strike him.
“Say, pop,” he suggested, “how would
it do for you to worlca few years longer,
and then the two of us retire together?”
NEW YEAR 4605
COMES IN TONIGHT
When baby grows older, his different foods will do what Cascarets do
. for the bowels.
• When baby can walk and play and be active, exercise will take the place
‘©f a laxative. .
But, until then, a gentle laxative is almost a constant necessity. All
mothers know that. ______
It isn’t necessary to give the laxative direct to the baby. It is better if
the mother takes it.
Then the baby gets its laxative as part of |ts food. And the mother is
helped at the same time.
But use no|hing but Cascarets.

Special to The Tribune.’
New York, Jan. 31.—Chinatown is agog
for the celebration of the departure of
the old and the advent of the new Chi-
nese year. " The new year 4605, Chinese
reckoning, comes in at midnight tonight.
The Chinese pay homage to the depart-
ing as well as the approaching year, for
they hold that, as the fate of a man
_—on the smile or frown of a depart-
ing ancestor, so it is with the passing
years—they should be smiling as they go.
So Mott, Doyer and Pell streets are pre-
pared to illuminate tonight from end tq
end. With the Chinese colony in New
York, numbering about 12,000 Individuals,
the New Year’s celebration lasts about
a week. During that time there will ba
little business transacted. The celebra-
tion is almost entirely social. It is a.
time of feasting and music. Every caller
is treated to bird nest soup, shark’s fins,
fish maws, Chinese candy and preserves,
pickled eggs and many other strange con-
coctions. > ■
From house to house stroll the little
groups, and although Chinese children are
kept pretty close at home all the rest of
the year, at New Year’s tame they are
■seen in the street in great numbers, all
of them dressed in the very best panta-
loons and jackets that their parents can
afford.
Noise is an essential part of a Chinese
festival of any kind. Firecrackers, big
and little, are exploded in great quantities.
Intermingling with this roar is the clang
of gongs, the clashing of cymbals, the
'beating of queer little pigskin drums, and
sounds from the harsh and untuned
flageolets and shrill flutes. Only a son
of the Flowery Kingdom can recognize
in this noise a semblance to music.
The Chinese theater in -Doyer street has
been closed the past three days to give
the actors an opportunity to celebrate the
New Year. During the coming week they
will have little chance for rest or recrea-
tion, for the New Year is the harvest time
for Chinese managers and Thespians. To-
morrow the theater will reopen with a
matinee, the only daylight performance
given in all the year. The playr chosen
from the company’s repertoire of 400 Yuen
plays is a pretty trifle called “Sixteen
Mandarins, Only Three Bad.” It is one
of the so-called king plays, which means,
among other things, that the actors will
all wear their most gorgeous costumes,
which are really very beautiful fabrics.
For the N'&w Year’s matinee the orches-
tra will be augmented by the addition of

' ' toms.
Not the least of the New Year cere-
monies of the Chinese is the worship of
their throneless king, Confucious. With
them he takes the place of Mohammed or
Buddha. Bales of red prayer slips have
been prepared to appease the gods.
Complete purity and whole-
someness are the unques-
tioned characteristics of
Rexall Remedies. —
We believe that The
United Drug Co., the
proprietors of the Rex-
all Remedies; have in-
augurated a perfect
system of supplying
ready-made prescrip-
tions. They make 200
remedies under the
trade-name “Rexall.”
Each remedy is a well-
tried recipe of a
famous physician who
is a specialist in his
line.
The International Sunday school lesson
for Feb. 2 is “Jesus, the Saviour of the
World.” John iii, 1-21.
Recently a crowd of celebrated finan-
ciers held a night conference in a man-
sion near where these words are written.
They caime skulking in from various di-
rections, singly and by twos, to keep the
public from knowing of their meeting.
Some who usually travel in private cars
came by ordinary train; others in covered
automobiles; all was secrecy and mystery.
There have been numerous night gather-
ings of this sort lately on the part of
well-known “money kings” who are
afraid of the light of publicity. Dread of
the daylight of public observation has
recently become a monomania with some
of these.
For some of the same reasons a man of
wealth and eminent public position, two
thousand years ago, went sneaking
through the byways of Jerusalem to seek,
undier cover of darkness, an interview of
which he was ashamed. The incident
branded him, and he forever stalks
through history as the man who came by
night. Never once is his name rnfentioned
in the immortal record without this tag’s
being affaixed to it; even as Judas is
never mentioned without a qualifying
phrase to his name. This wealthy aristo-
crat wa.s a distinguished Jew, a recipient
of the highest office that his nation could
bestow, outside of the priesthood, and a
powerful public character, by name Nico-
demus.
His proud name would long since have
been added to the dust of the countless
forgotten local celebrities who strutted
for a brief day In what they believed to
be grelatness, were it not for the fact that
he once had an illumination that led him
to seek an interview with a humble
north-country teacher named Jesus. Nico-
demus thought that he was conferring
great distinction upon this itinerant rabbi,
little dreaming that his own name was
to live only by being linked to that of
Jesus. More than once those who con-
sidered themselves might have won fame
only because of a casual relation with
persons whom they have looked down
upon. So conscious was Nicodemus of his
own dignity and standing that he feared
to imperil them by being seen in com-
pany with this Nazarene. It never oc-
curred to his proud and self-satisfied mind
that his action was An insult to Jesus,
with whom he would not dare be seen
talking by dayliight, and that the later
would be justifledi in closing the door in
his face.
The “manly” way would have been to
spurn this haughty aristocrat’s visit with
scorn: but the divine way was to receive
him. If the Lord stopped where men stop,
there would be scant hope for any of us
to reach heaven. His patience and long-
suffering were sublimely exhibited in this
incident. The condescension which he dis-
played was divine—and all the while this
timid, furtive, secretive doctor of divinity,
so selfishly careful of his reputation,
thought that he was the one who dis-
played condescension!
Looking beneath the insolent action,
Jesus discerned a spark of loyalty to the
truth. Underneath his fearfulness and
pride, Nicodemus really was a seeker af-
ter the truth. This is his claim to honor.
Hei was in pursuit of the truth concerning
this new Wonder-Worker. The instincts
of the scholar, who puts truth first, im-
pelled him upon that night quest. With
fuller knowledge than this member of the
Sanhedrin, every man today who is hon-
est with his best self is bound to reckon
with Jesus Christ.
, He is the Inevitable and Inescapable.
At every turn he confronts us. Today it
is a new fragment of one of his sayings,
dug up in Egypt, which is treated -to the
•extent of columns in the daily press. Now
it is his message spoken, by a leader of
Now it is his spirit incarnated in
social service to the lowly. Again it is
His gospel, regnant in the minds of a
majority of the people, that upraises
itself militantly in our own day for a
purification and exaltation of our social,
political and commercial life. The pro-
cession of men, of whom Nicodemus was
one, who have been confronted by Christ,
the Question, is long and unended.
Admitted by a condescension which he
could not understand, the polished divine
began to indulge in the,polite palaver of
society; his devotion to Auth did not save ’
him from the conventional little fibs, any
more than some people’s religion today
keeps them from reporting themselves
“not at home/’ and similar falsehoods.
“Rabbi,” began Nicodemus, with many
a deferential bow and smile and rubbing
of hands and other signs of Pharisaic
complacency, “we know that thou art a
teacher come from God; for no man can
do1 thfese signs that thou doest, except
God be with him.”
Now that was simply making agreeable
conversation. If Nicodemus had be-
lieved it, he would not have gone sneak-
ing around back alleys cloaked In dark-
ness, lest somebody shou!4 suspect his
errand. It was but a sample of the arti-
ficiality of society, which sickens sincere
souls and makes them wish that thle
simple, direct and truthful speech of the
xuxuld. Ilq ixniv xi I'-oxil.
A NO ACCOUNT DOG.
A man in Missouri recently sued a rail-
way company for damages for the death
'of a hound killed on the track, says the
Youth’s Companion. The company defend-
ed itself upo the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up de-
fendant’s track in. violation of the game
laws.
Said rabbit lived on defendant’s right hangs
of way, and was therefore the property
of the defendant.
^Plaintiff’s dog was a trespasser, and was
hunting defendant’s property without per-
mission.
;Said deceased was not much of a dog
anyhow, or it could easily have kept out
of the way of the defendant’s trains.
And having fully answered, defendant
prays to be discharged.

A TOO STRENUOUS DESCENT.
•;■ ■ ' ' The housewife was showing her new
chambermaid through the upstairs when
, finally they came to a staircase leading
flown into the rear yard, says Judge.
1 “Mary,” said she, stepping out on the
>’ landing, "whenever you wish to pass down
to the back yard go down this way.”
Just then the speaker slipped and was
precipitated with a great clattering to
the bottom.
“Are yez hurt, mum.'” cried the af-
frighted chambermaid, staring down from
above.
“No, it’s nothing,” came the return, as
the disheveled mistress rose to her feet
Jn proof.
“Thin ye’ve got it down foine, mum;
J>ut th’ job’s too strenuous fer me.”

HE GASPED.
A n«w minister at the London war of-
fice, who was consumed with a zeal for
making himself perfect in Iris work, vis-
ited the various rooms and inquired as to
all of the details.
Meeting a gentleman in the passage, he
asked at what hour he usually came to
his duties.
“Oh,” said the other, “I usually stroll
in about 11 or 12 o’clock.”
“Stroll in!” said the minister in sur-
prise, “then, I presume, you do not
leave until a late hour?’
“Well,” rejoined the gentleman, I gen-
erally slip off about 3 o’clock.”
“Slip off about 3!” gasped the minister.
“Pray, sir, may I be informed as to what
department you belong?”
“Certainly. I come every Saturday to
wind up the clocks.”
few days before Christmas, she was
naughty, and they told her she had bet-
ter be careful or Santa. Claus might not
visit her on Christmas morning, she
frowned reproachfully and -exclaimed in a
loud voice:
“ ‘Hush! You need not say it so near
the chimney!’ ”
By the canons of -^Irs. Grundy, the re-
ply of Jesus was rudie—disconcertingly
direct and embarrassingly personal. With-
out paying any heed to his visitor’s ef-
fusive and insincere greeting, the Host
plunged into the middle of the subject
that really was' in the guest’s mind:
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a
man be born anew, he can not see the
Kingdom of God.” That to a member of
the Sanhedrin, who thought himself a
custodian of religion! Had this uncon-
ventional stranger no respect for the pro-
prieties, or for dignitaries?
The key to this almost brusque direct-
ness of Jesus is found in the introduction
to this incident, Where we read, “He need-
ed not that any one should bear witness
concerning man; for he himself knew
what was in man.” Jesus is the perfect
character reader. His- wisdom was great-
er than the knowledge of the schools.
Never a hypocrite deceives Him. He dis-
cerns the secrets of the heart. Therefore
His dealings! with meh must be on the
plane of absolute frankness and know-
ledge.
Despite his severe jolt, Nicodemus has
not learned his lesson. Like a convention-
al theologian, he began to quibble. How
could a man be born when he was old?
Surely, Nicodemus knew that he was
only quibbling. But his pettifogging ques-
tion gave occasion for the deep words of
Jesus upon the new birth.
The. arrogant scholar, proud of his po-
sition. has suddenly become a helpless
and bewildered pupil. His “How can
these things be?” reveals him hopelessly
at sea. With fine irony the Nazorene
cuts deep by the query, “Art thou the
teacher of Israel, and understandest not
these things? Why, I’ve told you only
the beginning of things,” he continues, in
substance.
Then Jesus began what many of bis
disciples have left off doing.: he ex-
pounded a spiritual teaching. If the pul-
pit only knew it, this is what mankind
craves. It wants a message aimed; i
straight at the human heart, concerning
the things of the spirit. The sermons for
which the times cry are not “polished
literary essays, Or polemical political
preachments, or attenuated news bulle-
tins: they are words of life, for the sou!
of man, -■ -
Without apology or equivocation, Jesus
asserted that entrance into his spiritual
kingdom could only be by a new birth,
for which the Spirit of God is responsible.
“That which. is born of the Spirit is
spirit.” A mystery? bf course;, but no
greater mystery than the wind that was
blowing about the house at the moment.
The new birth cannot be explained; it
may ba experienced. On this point an
innumerable company of spiritual men
and women join their voices with that of
Jesus and say;' “We speak that we do
■know, and bear witness to- that we have
seen.” Even beyond this, the Master in-
timated, there are profundities of spirit-
ual truth. The life begotten by God is
less mysterious than the life identified
with God.
The man who will not speak to a small
audience may be reminded that the fullest
exposition of the divine purpose that
had ever been made was directed to one
proud and fearful Pharisee. It was'te
Nicodemus that Jesus uttered the words
that are the best, verbal representation of
God; the words that have been the door
through which uncounted myriads have
entered heaven: “For God so loved the
world, that he gavev his only 'begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have .eternal life.”
Comment upon that stupendous declara-
tion is beyond me. ’
From it we turn to Nicodemus. He had
heard the gospel in its freshness and
fullness—had heard it in the melting tones
of Jesus, and illuminated by the tender
glance of the Savious himself. What a
privilege! Of course he was convinced,
as his later conduct showed. Yet he did
not “Come to the light, that his works
might be made manifest.” He was afraid.
He, like most of us, had not the courage
to follow his highest light. As John
records, plainly ^having Nilcodeimus in
mind, he was one of the members of the
Sanhedrin who also “believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess it, lest they should be put out of
the synagogue; for they loved the glory
of men more than the glory of God.”
To Nicodemus, the favored, it was giv-
en only to bring precious spices to em-
balm the dead body of the Teacher whom
he had 'been afraid to confess in life.
And if there is remorse in heaven, Nico-
demus knows it.
THE PURE FOOD LAW.
Secretary Wilson says:' “One of the ob-
jects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer of the presence of certain harmful’
drugs in medicines.” The law requires
that th© amount of chloroform, op.um,
morphine, and other habit forming drug}
be stated on the label of each bo:tle'
The manufacturers of . Chamberlain's?
Cough Remedy have always claimed thaf.
their remedy did not contain any of these
drugs, and the truth of this claim is now
fv.liy proven, as no mention of them is
mad© on the label. This remedy is not
v.nly one of the safest, but one of the beat
in use for coughs and colds. Its value
has been proven beyond question during
the many years it has been in ge-ieral
i use. For sale by all druggists.
