' First Patriotic Christmas.
A woman’s club-at South Bend hired
a professional story teller to enter-
tain the children at a Christmas party.
The Christmas story of tbf birth of
Christ was told, and the narrator be-
gan to quiz the children about the
a lory.
“What did the three wise men see?”
she asked.
“They saw the shepherds and the
star in the east.” said a little girl.
“Very good; and what did they
hear?” .
“They heard the angels singing,”
was the answer.
“What did the angels sing?” No-
body seemed to know. Finally a lit-
tle boy’s face brightened and he
sprang to his feet and almost shout-
ed;. ‘ They sang ‘The Star Spangled
Banner!’’’—Indianapolis News.

San Antonio, ^%xas, Jan. 21.—A
vital blow to the prosecution of Miss
Burgemeister, charged with the mur-
der of Otto Koehler, on November
12, 1914, was! administered at the
* trial Saturday afternoon in the tes-
timony of Mrs. Florence Ramer, a
•woman attorney who prepared a
codicil to Miss Burgemeister’s will
the day that Koehler was killed.
That it was deemed serious was tac-
itly admitted by the state when later
it proposed to put the grand jurors
nho indicted Miss Burgemeister and
tore whom Mrs. Ramer testified
l. Hy | gtajid to give their version
of rwhat she hqd testified to before
them, • ; . * ■
C’A vigorous objection to this was
interposed by attorneys for the de-
fense, pointing out that Mrs. Ramer
was forced on the stand, over their
pattest by the. state and that her tes-
timony now could not be impeached'
in this way. Former Governor Camp-
bell, leading counsel tor Miss Burge-
meister, closed the argument on this
part by declaring that in this -way
the state would undertake to supply
words in the mouth of this witness
which she had specifically repudiated.
Judge W. S. Anderson sustained the
objection and testimony of Mrs.
Ramer, which corroborated the self-
defense plea made by the defendant

ed. Adjournment was then taken un-/

jected. to her being forced -to testify
as to what Miss* Burgemeister had j,
told her on the morning of the day
Mr, Koehler was killed, contending
it was *a. priviledged communication
between lawyer and client. This
point was argued at length and it
only boy in the. houseful of girls. A
hopeless, an Incurable invalid since in-
fancy, his sixteen years had been punc-
tuated by periods of suffering so in-
tense that even those who cherished
him could not have rebelled for his
own poor, tortured sake had the order
for release come from the court of
final appeal,
, So ft was that when bis hale, hand-
some, hearty father. u ’•!> had left home
that morning in the prime of robust
manhood, was carried back, dead, the
deepest sense of deprivation was ex-
perienced by the one who would miss
• him most in the dark hours from
which he cowered with such cruel ap-
prehension.
While the exhausted sobbing of the
widow and the frightened wailing, of
the little children resounded, while
black clad strangers noiselessly intent
upon their solemn duties, came and
went; while neighbors, offering sym-
pathy and condolence, flocked into the
little room, he moved silently among
them, a tall, attenuated lad with a set,
pale face and eyes of impenetrable mel-
ancholy.
Alone in the darkened front room as
the glorious day waned, he watched the
corners growing mystically dim In the
twilight and the long box on the tres-
tle looming blacker in the encroaching
shadows.
Save for that other peaceful pres-
ence the boy was alone in the room.
From his screened solitude in the win-
dow recess he saw his mother come
In. She approached the coffin. He no-
ticed how worn and shaken she looked
in the flickering Heht pt ibe
She stood there, the shawl hanging
loosely from her shoulders, her arms
fallen straight by her sides. She
seemed overwhelmed by the utter lassi-
tude of spent grief.
“Mary,” cried a woman’s voice,
poignant with sympathy, “oh, Mary I”
The widow turned with a start, rec-
ognized the newcomer. A choking
sound broke from her as she ran Into
the arms of her girlhood friend.
“Mary, I only this afternoon read
the notice in the paper. I came as
quickly as I knew, as I could. My dear,
my dear, don’t cry so! don't! It most
have been a dreadful shock, of coarse,
being so sudden at—at the last; but,
believe ine, it is better as it Is, far bet-
ter. I know It is hard for yon to
think so now, but you will come to
realize It.”
The stricken woman drew back, star-
ing wildly at her friend.
“Oh, you will' come to know it is for
the best. He could never have been
well or happy or*flll a man’s place In
the world. Although you all concealed
It from him as well as you could, he
must have suspected what an anxiety
he was to you, what a drag, what a
burden. And there was no possibility
of his ever being less a heartache to
yon. Oh, I kno.v' what you would
say.” The torrent of her#eager speech
swept away the other’s ineffective ef-
fort to protest. “Dot I speak as the
old friend who loves you dearly. It
Is better for you all that he Is dead.
Think if instead of that poor, useless
boy it had been his strong, fine fa-
ther who had been taken! Then, In-
deed—” ~
An outburst of • empeStuous weep-
ing checked her.
“Hush, oh, hush I Don't you—don’t
you know—•” / ,
“My.God, Mary, you don’t mean—
The paper said-^thir same name—”
The widow pointed to the coffin.
Then she huddled tc* the floor beside It
and crouched there, her face hidden In
her shawl. / .•
When she had left the room the boy
rose wearily. . He walked slowly and
was nearly 3 o’clock Saturday after- { grown olcL; In. that uncertain

- (
Austin, Texas, Jan. 21.-
of the legislative investigating com-
mittee and state officials generally
were considerably wrought up Satur-
day when an ink well, filled with ink,
was deliberately hurled at a large
United States flag which was being
used in a prohibition parade around
the state house.
The unknown person who threw
the missile evidently was stationed
in a room on the third floor of the
southwest portion of the capitol
'
building. The ink well fell just a few
feet from the flag and ink was spat-
tered on the paved walk, barely miss-
ing several persons in the parade.
So. serious was the inciaent consid-
ered that Representative Cope
brought the matter before the com-
mittee and a committee consisting of
Cope, Representative DeBogory and
Senator Lon A. Smith was appointed
to make an investigation.
