Wonder if it will be necessary
to lock up the wood pile and

The war did not stop for
Thanksgiving;, and probab'y the
fighters will be too busy to "take"
Christinas. The important fighting
has shifted from the French
frontier to the Russian border.
A battle of gigantic proportions
is in progress, and the reports indicate
that Russian numbers are
beginning to count.
Not a statement or "dun" has
been mailed from this office to .
[ v any of our readers for subscription
accounts this fall, and we
? should like very much to be
able to say this six months
hence. We.are depending upon
the loyalty Of our subscribers.
We dislike very much to send
"duns," as thev are usually termed,
and we are trying to give
every man a chance. This is
December and it is time for a
good many of you good fellows
to drop around and say "Good
morning" if nothing more. We
are looking for you.
The writer did not see a man
under the influence of strong
drink on Thanksgiving day, and
he desires to commend the fe!
lows who some times so far for
getthemslves as to take on more
"oil of joy" than they can properly
make use of. Doubtless
out all day without seeing any
of it, indicates that less liquor
was consumed in these parts on
this day than is usually the-case

hoped that Christmas may pass
as quietly. There has been a
deep-rooted notion among certain
people that Christmas is the
season when a good drunk is in
order, but this view of the situation
appears to be changing to
( the opposite. We hop : that lowpriced
cotton is not wholly responsible
for this, and that soon
we may see the time when these
national holidays will be observ
ea in a ciiuet and decent manner.

] CURIOSITY AND PETER )
Z By DOROTHY DOUQLA8. !
(Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.)
Peter had always been lnquisitlva.
Even aa a child his curiosity had been
a marked charaofjft
terlstic and had
M often been the '
I bane of his moth- :
er's existence.
! Edna Olover,
|i who lives in the
i l| same street with
' H Peter, could write
love stories, but \
she could not use
a typewriter. It 1
was through her
attempts to master
her new mar
chine that Peter came to realize that ]
he was entirely lacking In artlstio .
sense.
He was going to business as urual <
on a bright October morning when a
bit of paper caught his eye. With his !
habitual interest In things that did not
In the least concern him he picked the
crumDled nan?r nn r?n tho onH r\t v,io I
walking stick. It was a sheet of copy
paper which had been used by a person
evidently learning to use a typowriter.
(
'T do wish," he read, "that the young
man In the gray suit would select a
new tie and have his clothes pressed
more often. He wouldn't be at all
bad looking if he possessed an atom
of taste in his dress?but alas! he "
wears a green and brown tie, a soft 1
blue hat and red socks. He would J
look stunning in brown, with a small
dull gold tie." _ Peter laughed aloud
and fell to wondering who had
watched him passing and with an eye
so critical.
Poter fell to wondering whether the
name, Edna Glover, so often repeated,
w;?s the typist's name or merely a fictitious
one. In the evening before he
left the office Peter had decided to
send a card tp Edna Glover in the hcpo
that the name was a real one.
The card he sent reached Edna
when she was having her early morning
cup of tea. Martha, her faithful
ma'd brought it to lior.
"I have ordered a brown suit and
purchased a dull gold tie. In the
course of n ilnv nr turn ...111

mo wearing them. Hope they please
ycu. P. D." Edna arched her tine
brows in thought, then a smile leapt
into her ewes. "Oh," she gasped, "my
papers must have blown about and
he has picked one up. Isn't that
dreadful!"
The typewriting was progressing
nicely and Edna could do an entire .
jiage without more than a half dozen
mTs ta e jilesFufe
3f seeing^^M^nMmpBr rose curtained
windows, the brown suit. Edna
gasped at the wonderful change it
made in Peter. He certainly was good
lo look at and her eyes followed him
until ha had turned the corner to enter
the subway.
Peter was really proud of himself.
He wondered why he had never worn
brpwn before and thanked Edna in
another card.
"Call me up at 49 Broda," he
wrote. "I want to know if I have serscted
the right color. My name is
Dean?Peter Dean."
Edna drew a sharp breath, half of
anger and half of excitement when
she read that card. She decided first
to ignore the request, but during the
afternoon her sense of the romantlo
and perhaps a desire to write a story
around Peter prompted her to call up
the number.
"This is perfectly scandalous," she
told him when his most pleasing voice '
answered her on the telephone. (
"There is no possible scandal in it," ^
Peter's calm voice informed her. "I
am a single man without any strings *
and I take it that you are in a like po- (
sition. Yes?" His voice had a ring
of laughter in it. "You are a frightfully
bad typist," he added.
"I have Improved wonderfully lately,"
said Edna, with an echo of his
laughter.
"What do you look like?" asked
Peter.
After a prolonged conversation
U * ' " "
uuua ijuiik up me receiver ana Peter
called up Calvin Asten.
"I say, what do you know about
Edna Glover?" he asked the astonished
Asten.
."Peach," came back the prompt reply.
"Have proposed to her a dozen
times and intend to again tonight."
"No you don't," said Peter. "I'll tell
you why later."
Disappointing the Gtoaters.
"I wanter 'ave a tooth drawn," said
the youngster with the pugnacious
face, "and I want gas."
"Tut! Tut!" murmured the dentist.
"You're not old enough for gas. And
I see you're not afraid of a little pain.
He a man!"
44 'Tlen't that," runs a British week
ly h version or tno story, "but I expect J
Just at the end I'll give a little bit of
a squeal."
"Oh, that won't matter," the dentist
replied. "I shan't mind."
"No," retorted the boy, "but I shall.
Just you look out of tho window."
The dentist turned to look out, and
saw a group of grinning lads standIng
close by his window.
"Well?" he asked his youthful patient.
"What doee that mean?"
"Those are all the kids I've fought"
and licked," explained the boy, "and
they've all followed me hero Just to
hear me holler. Gimme gas!"

Is This the Time?
I (Published by Request)
- r The following has been contrasted
from the prophecy of
the book of Daniel, 11th chapter,
40th to the 45th verses, by J. G.
Steen:
^Are all nations watching: the
^Struggle of the outcome of the
European war? In the beginVning
of this war did the king: of
\ fcouth push at the king: of the
'frorth.
Will He have power over the
fl treasures of gold and all precit
is things of Egypt? Will the
/ Lybvans and Ethiopians be at
Q his steps? Has tidings out of the
|1 east and out of the north troubj
led him? Has h? or will he enIter
also into the glorious land
land many countries be over1'
thifown? Has he gone forth with
great fury to destroy and make
wav many? But will these escape
out of his hand even Edom
[and Moab and the chief of tho
childicn of Ammon. I
.__$hall He plant the Tabernacle
of His place between the seas in
I the glorious holy mountain.
Will he come to His end and
none help him? Is there an{
other prophecy of war before or
! after this, beginni n g or ending
; like unto this? Is this the time
1 or at the end?
I Who will make reply through
the Journal? It will be greatly
appreciated, as well as important
