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.
HOW HE EARNED HIS CROSS

soldier of .fc'h loose descent who over
won a Croix do tJucrre In Kraiwe, The
corporal K a modest warrior, not lo
quacious in the tongue of his fellow
soldiers ; and when asked hy a reporter
0U> tell how lie won his cross he re
plled. "Whjtl did I do? I did, that's
nil." Other*. however, are more ex
plicit, and what Corporal Sing Kee
really did was to carry message
through gas and shell tire. 1 1 ? * was
one of the twenty runners between

Alout Notre Dium\.uiid at the end. of
the scrond day the corporal was the
<>nly one still remaining In action. Late
la the afternoon he. was gassed by the

nation. After that came the Croix de

miracle of the thorn staff
Pretty Legend of Ancient Britain
That la Often Repeated in Eng
land at Chriatmaa Time.
It la out* of the preitleat tugenda of
ancient llritain the old Christ mux
story of the thorn of (Jlastonbuiy.
William of Mnlmesbury, the chronicler,
told it hundreds of years ugo in Ids
" \ 1 1 r i . | ii . ? of CleHjoiihury." It in nv
prated 0ft 90 Wt < 'hrlstuias time iu
JOngiand.
The legend tell* how Joseph of Arl
muthen, whs ko persecuted hy I'ontluM
Pilate, because he had laid uwny the
body of ChriHt In his sepulcher, that
he fled to Caul, carrying With hi in un
der a cloth of inyatlcul -white aamlte,
lite ffoly (J rail. In (htul he found the
Apottle Philip, preaching to the heath
er., and he rented with hint a few days.
One night a radiant light awakened
tilni, aud nn angel bad** hint *o to
Hritalu and preach the glad rhtiugM to
King Arvlgntnjs; and, where a Chrlst
mun iniruele should come to pass,
lljere to build a church. '
He and a hand of follower** fol
lowed Ihe instructions of the angel,
and Arvigatrun gave them the Isle of
Avslon, and hade them erect an altar
I here to the new (Jod. It was a beau
J tiful gift. The tiny l?le lay warm In
? verdant valley. Sparkling waves
softly lapped Its shore. Soft breezes
played In Its trees, and nowhere was
the sky so blue as over Avalon.
When they reached the top of the
hill called Weary All, Joseph planted
his thorn staff he Uud carried with
him on his long Journeys over land
Mid sen, deep Into the ground, and lo
It took root, and Immediately there
blossomed A bush ot' beautiful white
?flower*. \
??Tills Is where we will build our
< hureh," the good man said, and so,
i? r < iliistonbury Abbey ? for so Avalon
is known today ? the thorn bushes
bloom white at euctt Christina* time
lend their fragrance to the frosty air,
and remind all who see them of the
Christmas miracle.
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."
THE BIRDS' CHRISTMAS TREE.
To make a birds' Christmas tree,
? r k e an evergreen, If possible, but any
kind of tree will do if you tie sheaves
of wheat, corn-stalks and evergreen

Men aim women wi^L the bloom of

Gude's Pepto-Mangan . furnishes thin,

ply energy, vitality', and strength to
every part of the body.
Physicians recommend Gude's Pepto -

because its beneficial and lasting quali
ties are well known to the medical pro

Gude's Pepto-Mangan is obtainable
in either liquid or tablet form. Both

When you buy Pepto-Mangan of your
