FATE OF THE RED TERBOR Bolshevism Will Most Probably Go tha Way That Was Traveled by FrehcH Revolution. It la a ten-to-one Khot that Russian bolshevism will blow up and blow out aw suddenly am French terrorism van ished a century and a quarter uko. t ' i ? to (lute ili?' Russian revolution travels precisely the old track laid ilown by the French revolution, writes "Clirnrd" In (he 1'hiladelphla Prein. First MIiiiIm-imi and his solid type of revolutionist started the thing and put the skids under King I<ouIb. Then slung came Much blood-letting terrorists us Panton, ' NJurut and Robespierre, with their merciless guil lotine working day and night behead In* kings and queens and nobles. Then , appeared the master, Napo leon. who quickly made France ona of the bent ordered, b??xt organized and moat prosperous lands on earth. Russia's Mlrabeau phase passed with the peaceful, and practically hloodlesa dethroning of the cr.ar. Then fol lowed the terrorist*, Lenlne and Trot iky ? France's reign of terror laMed only a couple of yeara. It does not seem possible that among Rustila'a 180,000,000 people there Is not a Bonaparte to catch the wild horses and put a bridle on them. After It was over It seemed an In credibly easy thing to turn out King I?ouls and C*ar Nicholas. It will be Just as easy for Russia to upset her present masters as to unseat the Romanoffs. It I* a poor sort of a revolution that ? can't revolve all the way round and keep the heels of both the cy.ar and the holshevlkl off our neck.

MAKE SOME SAD HEART GLAD Christman the Time for Remembering Those Not as Fortunate as You Are. Christmas is a: sad time in some households, among ihe older members who miss familiar faces always asso ciated with family gatherings ? a list of missing ones which Increases as the years go by. But if It is Impossible to I ??? happy one's self, it is always pos- . ??ll>le to make some one else rejoice ? I litis Is an easier task than some people imagine. So many are so foolish as to think that because they cannot give bra titi fully thnt It Is not worth while to give at all. They forget that what seems very- little to a person In com fortiible circumstances may appear very large to those who have virtually nothing a f -'ft 1 1 while among friends a small gift, bearing some sign of t hough tfukuess, is often more accepta ble than a costly but ill-chosen pres ent. This is an excellent time to go over the children's toys and select those which can be spared to go to some less fortunate Uttlo ones. Do not select only those which are too buttered to lie recognizable ; such, ot course, lire not to be despised, but a Utile glue and a few stitches to fresh* en up a broken doll or torn book add much to the pleasure of a second-hand jjift ? for all children love fresty-looking thlnKS and It Is, besides, scarcely gen erous to give away only such articles as would otherwise be thrown In the ashes. USE OF EVERGREENS. The use of evergreens at Christmas Mine Is older than the Christinas tree, the Christians seeming to have copied It from i heir pagan ancestors. In a very old hook we find thin reference to the use of evergreens at Christinas Ume: "Against the feast of Christ mas every man's house, as also t hell parish churches, were decked with holme. Ivy. hayes, and whatsoever the MCUKon of ttt" year afforded to -he green. The conduits and standards of the streets were likewise garnished; moony which I read that In the year 111-4. h> tempest of thunder and lightning, toward the morning of Can- 1 <IIciAh>- day, at the Leadenhall. In Cornhlll, a standard of tree, being set up in the midst of the pavement, fast in tho ground, nailed f til! of holme and ivy. for disport of Christmas to the people, was torn up and cast down hy the malignant spirit (as was thought), and the stones of the pavement all n hotit were cast In the streets and Into divers houses, so that the people were no re aghast at the great tempest."
