The Tree of the Cross.
The Golden Star looked down and
smiled
Upon the Virgin and her Child;
It spread its splendor like a crown
Upon the roofs of Bethlehem town
(Oh. little tree! Oh, little tree!
Why semest thou in agony?)
Tho shepherds, finding with their
sheep.
Hearkened, as men in Mppy sleep,
To strains celestial, while their -eyes
Saw choiring hosts of Paradise.
(Oh, little tree! Oh, little tree!
Dost thou behold a Cross to be?)
The honored oxen, mute with awe,
Peeped them from out their stalls
and saw
The wise men lay at Jesus feet
Tbeir unctuous oils and spices sweet.
(Oh, little tree! Oh. little tree!
Does some one whisper "Calvary?".
The world that night won its
release
From death through Him, the Prince
of Peace,
Who in the manger lay at rest
Upon his happy mother's breast.
(Oh, little tree! Oh, little tree!
Seems if that One is nailed on thee.)
?Sue M. Best in Lippincott s.
At the Stable Door.
Awed by seraphic strains
That stir and thrill the still Judeau
plains,
Lured by the luster of a strange nev
star,
From alien lands and far.
To this low stable door
Throng simple peasants, wizard*
learned in lore;
Rich gifts of frankincense and myrrh
they bring
To aid their worshiping.
For one rapt moment's space
Their glances sweep the shining st"*
ble-place;
Note the low rafters and the litterei
stall.
Then, dazed and blinded, fall.
For waking on their sight
. Has burs'; a vision of celestial light
Where lies, encradled in a manger
dim. * f
The Babe of Bethlehem!
Little they dream or know?
Shepherd and sage in worship bend
ed low?
What paths of pain these baby feet
must tread.
What crowns must -deck Its head!
Not theirs to pierce the rift
Of our years where grim Golgotha's
crosses lift;
To know this Babe of Bethlehem
must be
The Christ of Calvary!

Captain Minus Refused to Take the
Test Ride.
Washington, Dec. 10.?Orders a-l
ths war department direct that more
officers shail appear before retiring
hoards, because of their failure to
take the prescribed horsemanship
test while, on their examination for

the grade of major who, by the or
der issued last May, are required tc
take the horsemanship test, as a part
of their examination for promotion.
To take up the cases of three or
four such officers, a new retirement
board has been appointed. The first

be that of Capt. J. C. Minus, Six
teenth infantry, military instructor
at the Clemson agricultural college,

bedding. *

Life of Peach Trees.
It Id claimed that the most profit
able period in the !i:'e of a peach

more essential to the p ach tree
than either pruning or spraying. *

DOING THEIR DUTY.
Scores of Qrangeburg Readers Are

A Paying Investment.
Mr. Jchii White, of 28 Highland
avenue, Houlton, Maiue, says: "Have
J been troubled with a cough every
winter and spring. Last winter I
tried many advertised remedies, but
the cough continued until I bought
a 50c bottle of Dr. Kings-New Dis
covery; before that was half gone,
the cough was all gone. This winter
the same happy result has followed:
a few doses once more banished the
annual cough. I am now convinced
that Dr. King's New Discovery is the
best of all cough and lung reme
dies." Sold under guarantee at J.

How to Get Strong.
P. J. Daley, of 1247 W. Congress
St., Chicago, tells of a way to be
come strong: He says: "My moth
er, who is old and was very feeble,
is deriving so much benefit from
Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my
duty to tell those who need a tonic
and strengthening medicine about it.
In my mother's case a marked gain
in flesh has resulted, insomnia has
been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger." Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomach, liver and
kidney complaints. Sold under guar
antee at J. G. Wannamaker Mfg.
Co.'s drug store. 50c.

ITCHlHi
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
?Feet Too Swollen to Get Shoes
On?Sleep Completely Broken
by Intense Itching and Burning
Well in Two Days and Says That
CUTICURA IS AMONG
HIS HOUSEHOLD GODS
"God bless the man who first com
pounded Cuticura.- Some two months
ago I had a humor break out on my
limbs below my knees. They came to
look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no
one knows how they itched and burned.
They were so swollen that I had to
split my drawers open to get them on
and could not get my shoes on for a
week or more. I used five or six dif
ferent remedies and got no help, only
when applying th9m the burning was
worse and the itching less. One morning
I remembered that I had a bit of Cuti
cura and tried it. From the moment
it touched me the itching was gone and
I have not felt a bit of it since. The
swelling went down and in two days I had
my shoes on and was about as usual.
I only wish I had used the Cuticura
Remedies in tho first of my troubles.
They would have saved me two or
three weeks of intense suffering. Dur
ing that time I did not sleep an hour at
a time, but was up applying such
remedies as I had. Henceforth the
Cuticura Remedies will be among my
household gods, rest assured. George
