La guerre qui sévit en Europe: depuis plus de quatre mois, est é- pouvantable, et les misères et les souffrance des combattant dépassent tout ce que l'on peut coucevoir.

C'est, du côté de la France, une guerre Sainte. Elle combat avec ses alliés, l’ Angleterre et la Russie, pour la défense de la Serbie, envahi

par l'Autriche et de la Belgique. mise a feu et à Sang par l’Allema- gue.

L'Autriche et l'Allemagne sont deux colosses qui, depuis quarante ens, se préparent 2 cette guerre de vol et de rapines; la Belgique et la Serbie réunies o:cupent un territoi- re qui n’est guère plus étendu que celui du Nouveau Brunswick.

La France a été envahie, a son tour, et les armées prusiennes se sont avancées jusqu'à vingt-mille de Paris. Quoique repoussées, à la bataille de la Marne, elles occupent encore aujourd'hui le Nord est du territeire, qu’elles ont rillés brûlé et inondé de saug.

La France lutte pour lu justice et pour sa propre existence.

L'Angleterre, champion des li- bertés humaines, se bat, a côté de la France, pour les mêmes metifs d'honneur et de chevaliers ct parce- que l'Allemagne convoïte ses colo- nies, ce qui fait que c’est aussi pour sous que l’ Angleterre et la France ceuvrent les champs de bataille de leurs morts. Saus la flotte anglai ses puisse aisément aidée de celle de la France; sans l’armée française, héroïquement soutenue pat les lé- giens d'Angleterre, le Canada, a l'heure qu'il est, serait probable. meut envahi, plusieurs de nos égli- ses seraient brûlées, comme l'on a brûlés celles de Louvain en Belgi- que et mitraillé la superbe cathédra de Reims en France.

S'il circulait a l’entour de nos côtes un seul croiseur allemand, nes vilies et villages maritimes se ralent a sa merci; toute navigation cosserait et, sur terre rien de ce qui

nous est cher et sacrés ue serait a l'abri des profauations des soldats prusieus,

néreusement a l’appel qui leur a été fait en faveur des Belges hon-

eur à eux. Ils ont aussi, comme c’est leur

devoir, souscrit au Kouds Patrioti que destiné aux familles de ceux des nôtres qui vont sur le front de bataille. Personne n’est oublié, sauf la France.

La France aujourd'hui donne l'hospitalité au gouvernement du roi de Belgique; des centaines de mille Belges, fuyant iles Prusiens, se sont réfugiés sur {son territoire; ses hopitaux et ses édifices pnbli ques sont remplis de soldats blessés— blessés français, blessés belges, blessés allemands, tous soignés avec un soin égal.

Or, la France, si hospitalière, si chrétienne, si graude, est, il faut jamais l'oublier, à côté de l’Angle-

terre, objet de notre loyauté, l'Aima Mater où vont nos affection premises.

Elle se prodique héroiqtement faisons quelque chose pour elle. Euvoyons, pour ses blessés et pour ses hopitaux, des vêtements, des provisions, de l’argent. Le prési dent et le secrétaire du Conseil Exécutifs de l’Assomption, pren- nent la liberté de faire un appel a toute l’Acadie en faveur de la France en détresse, et prient par: ticulièrement Messieurs les Curés, les succursales de l’Assomption Mutuelle, et les associations d’hom- mes et de femmes de bonne volonté, d'organiser leurs paroisses respecti- ver des comités de secours pour les soldats blessés et les hopitaux de France. ”

Il se fait dans la province Soeur de Québec un mouvement pareil, avec M. le sénateur Dandurand pour président.

Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, has circulated a letier to his priests scattered thronghout France, Holland and Great Britain, urging them allto return to their parishes. He says that their return will induce the Belgian refngees to seek their homes again. The Card- inal adds that the German Govern- or of Antwerp has lauthorired him to declarethat the yeung men need have no fear of being taken prison- ers into Germany either te be en- rolled in the army, or employed at forced labor, and that both German and Belgian authorities will take all fpossible steps to procure food supplies for the people.

The provincial by-elections in Ontario are not very reassuring to the Conservative party, and indicate that the sweep in that province, which marked the Dominion elec- tions of 1911, it is by no means cer- tain of repetition. À few days since a provincial by election was held i Hamilton West, when a Conserva- tive majority of 1445 almost touched the vanishing point, with a Liberel Labor candidate running. On Monday, the by election in Dundas, caused by the death of Sir James Whitney, resulted in a Conservative majority of 921 being almost redu ced to the vauishivg point, the seat being retained by only 76 over straight Liberal.

“1 believe he would bave shaken ma, if he hadn't rushed l'out in time to prevent himself from | doing ît,” she continued, the ever | ready dimples venturing out of their biding places, but she banished them severely. ‘“Tli never, never forgive him, even though he asks me to, which of course, he won't! And he calls me stubborn!”

:” Next morning Marjorie was tremen- RE wrapping up dainty little percels, for the next day was Christ- mas, and her many friends must be remembered, in spite of quarrels and

Billy.

Still, she seemed very much preo®œ cupied over her work, and quite sud- âeniy she threw aside the piece of

bolly she had been toying with, and fatriy flew to the telephone.

În answer to her impatient sum- mons, sbe was quickly connected with

Brown & Co.'s book store. “Have you sent out those books that were order: ed for Mr. William Dunning?” she ask- eû anxiousiy.

Tbe answer evidentiy plensed her, for she broathed a sigh of relief. “That's all right; I'm glad you haven't, for I have changed my mind about them. Please cancel the order.”

Marjorie hung up the recelver with an air of triumph. “There, l'm glad I | thought of that! Billy would have construed a Christmas present into an abject apology,” she said, her indig- nation rising at the very thought of such a thing. |

But when she went back to her par | oels and picked up the little twig of, holly sbe had intended tucking away | into one of them, her face softened. “1 know that isn't the right kind of «a Christmas spirit to have, but I can't | have Billy thinking that I am admit. ting 1 was wrong, when I know 1 wasn"t,” she argued with herself.

The joyous ringing of Christmas bells and merry shouts of her younger sisters and brothers, when they dis. covered their stockings the next morn- ing, only served to emphasise her de. pression. :

“Billy never loved me; if he really and truly did he never could.treat me ke this,” she told herself as she stood looking with unseeing eyes at the snowy Christmas world.

Just then a young r:an, fairly tear ing around the corner, arrested her at. tention. It was no less a person than Billy himself who was coming, post haste, to see her.

Marjorie looked at him în won:- der. What had come over Billyt Why this sudden contrition, when, she admitted it now for the first time, even to herself she had been greatiy, if not altogether, to blame for their quarrel.

“O, Billy, I am so glad you came.” Billy took some little time to empha- size his appreciation of her welcoma,

then “Glad I came? Why wouldn'i X come, dear?” he asked.

“Because you vowed you woulän' unless I apologised,” Marjorie explain. ed mischievousiy,

- “Yoù didn't think l'â be s0 narrow and unforgiving as to ignore your deaf little peace offering? 1 brought one of the books with me to read something to you,” he told her, and diving into his pocket be produced a littie copy of “Romeo and Juliet.”

Marjorie was surprised for a s600 then it flashed over hér what ît meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten ta cancel her order and Billy had re. ceived the books. Billy bad construed her sending them into a humble plea for forgiveness. s

He most probably wouldn't hsve come a: all if it badn't been for that. 8he stiffened visibiy and all her love was swallowed up in a wave of rebel- lious pride.

‘You are mistaken,” she commenced coldiy, but Billy interrupted her. ‘Here, I have found ft.

‘“‘My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep, the more I give ta thee.’

“The more I have, for both are in- finite,” he was reading, and the simple beauty of the lines awoke something in Marjorie stronger than pride or re- sentment and s}k.3 only smiled when ha added tendarly: “My.Christmas greet ing to you, dear.” à 7

thats close enough. When Christmas came along, that is, just before it came along, I sug- gested that we

make up a purse and give them a sort of delayed wedding present, just to show our good will. Every- body thought it was a splendid idea, that is, of course, except Mr, Platt, whom, of course, I didn't con-

cult. So 1 got up a subscription paper and went to everybody in the office (except Mr. Platt, of course). I got

$26.60, including ten certs from the janitor, who wasn't expected to give anything but wanted to give some: thing, which shows just how popular Mr. Platt was with everyone in tha building, when a janitor even would chip in.

Christmas shopping is hard enough, goodness knows, when you do it for yourself; but when you do it for a stock company capitalized at $26.60, with 28 stockholders, with 28 different kinds of ideas and tastes, then Christ. mas shopping rises above a mere an- noyance to the dignity of a real trou ble. And that's what I was up against. I thought it would be nice to get an expression of opinion. So I “went around one morning and asked for ideas. But I couldn't get a word. No- body could think of anything. 1 couldn’t myself. At noon I went out and looked. I walked miles, [ priced. then J went back to the office. You should have seen my desk. Honest, you would have thought some one had tu:ned in a gen. eral alarm. They couldn't wait for me to get back. There they were—28 of them, (that is, 27, or 28 with me). They all had suggestions, and they were all different.

The head book keeper thought an arm chaîir would be nice, (He stands up all day). The collec tor thought a rain: coat would ba best, while Misg Jones suggested a dress pattern, They all said, of course, that they left it entirely ta me; and then each went away sadly, as much as to say that he hoped 1 wouldn't be sa foolish as to buy any of those other

things that tha | others had ypro: | posed.

The next day I looked agaîn. But either a thing was too expensive or 1 would have money left. It is remark. able how few things there are in the world you can buy for $26.60, na more, no less.

And then I saw it. partment store, and from $50 to $26.60! There it was, to a cent! À great, big, glittering, mag: nificent Punch Bowl! Nobody had thought of that!

But, to make sure, I sent the sales ticket with it and told the Platts the: could exchange the punch bowl, if they wished, for so1 ething they liked better.

And what do you suppose Platts did?

In January they traded in that mag: nificent punch bowl for three tons of coal!
