!! Quotations to Go With
Christmas Gifts
A Real Party.
Harry had attended the Christmas
party of a little friend and enjoyed it
very much, especially the candy and
other goodies. A few days later the
mother of his little host met him and
asked:
“Did you have a good time, Harry,
at Orrin’s party?”
“I should say so!” responded Harry,
enthusiastically. “Why, mamma had
to sit up with me three nights I was
so sick.”

The Christmas note Is peace
and good will. Whatever dis-
cords, wrongs or resentments the.
year has held for us, the blessed
Christmastide should end them
all. If you have pushed aside
any hand this year, reach out
and clasp it now. If any dear
tie has been loosened, knit it up
again on this gladdest of all ani-
vfcrsaries. Let all wounds be
healed, and all resentment and
pride be buried under the Christ-
inas holly, while we celebrate the
birthday of the Prince of Peace.
A PRKTTY and original touch may be given a

“You say this girl show is intended

“That’s the Idea,” replied the man-

This is a serious matter with house-
keepers as food prices are constantly
going up. To overcome this, cut out
the iiigh priced meat dishes and serve

Decorations for the Tree.
A pretty decoration for Christmas
which is so easily made that the little
tots can do most of the work, Is paper
chains. Silver paper and blue paper
make the prettiest. Cut the paper
into four-inch squares, then cut tb«.
squares into strips one-fourth inch
wide, and paste the ends of the little
strips together, linking them as you
go. Silver alone is very pretty, aud
alternate links of blue and silver give
an attractive effect. The paper coats
five cents a sheet, so the expense 0/
the decoration is small.
Even when he goe$ to war with the
Germans, whom he feels in his soul to
be the enemies of love, the Russian
has no hate in his heart. I have talked
to Englishmen and Americans in Rus-
sia who have been in the Galician
trenches, and they all tell me that you
cannot get the Russian soldier to hate.
While he is charging, while he is kill-
ing. yes, perhaps; but when he comes
back with his prisoners, no.
He gives the captured German his
last bit of chocolate, makes him a cup
of coffee and does not resent his con-
temptuous complaint that the coffee is
of bad quality and is bitter without
sugar; no, he pats the German’s back,
strokes his arm, smiles at him and
says: “You are all right, now.”—Har-
old Begbie, in the Atlantic Monthly.

Hotels the Victims of Frauds.
Hotels of the United States are de-
frauded out of $1,000,000 a year, ac-
cording to a statement made by Wil-
liam Mi Davis of Cambridge, Mass.,
before the National Congress of Ameri-
can Hotel associations in New York
city.
While the annual report of th#
Krupp company shows apparently
smaller profits than for last year, says
a Beilin dispatch, it is believed the
company earned considerably more'
than in the preceding year, but that
the increased revenues were devoted
largely to building new workshops re*
quired’to fill war orders.
The report states that the gross prof-
its for the-year were 113,000,000 marke
, (about $47,000,000), which is 15,00Q,000
marks below lasttyear, but the writing
off of 30,000.000 marks occurred before
the drawing of the balance sheet. This
amount and other deductions make a
total reduction of 85,000,000 marks, as
against 38,000,000 marks for the same
purposes-last, year. As the reductions
increased 47,000,000 marks, it i*
lieved the profits-must have increased
at least 32,000,000 marks.
The net profit reported is 59,000,000
marks, compared with 95,000,000 marks
last year, after the payment of taxes,
including a special war tax of 28,000,000
marks and the giving of 25,000,000
marks for workmen’s insurance and be-
nevolent funds.
The heavy, demand for building pur-
poses caused the Krupp family to lend
half of its dividends to the company,
making the family income only 15,000,*
000 marks.
