(7) ( ) Joseph and Mary went to
Bethlehem at the command of Cae
sar Augustus. Joseph , the son of
Jacoh , was dragged into Egypt as a
slave , hut the results in each case
were most blessed ; Now how can

lar cases , demonstrate that God uses
had men , and calamities , as well , as
good men and fortunate events , to
help every devout man to Ills glor
ious destiny ?
( S ) What has the htrth of Christ
meant to the world ?
(9) ( ) What significance Is there to
the poor , and to I ho toiling masses ,
that Jesus.was horn in a stable , and

mean that Jesus was a saviour ?
(1C ( ) Why were the citizens of
heaven so greatly pleased , and ex
ultant , over the birth of Jesus ?

OUT-SIIERLOCKED SHERLOCK
A \Vould-llo Shipth Strikes nn Ini-
innglnnry Trnll nnd Lnnds
, In Jail.
Somctlno ngo a wild eyed youth
breathing mystery and gum-shoo
cautloli from every pore of his body j
floated into town and almost im
mediately attracted attention hy his
| attempted impersonation of Sher
lock Holmes , Nick Carter and Old
I Sleuth , with an added dash perhaps
! of Dcadwood Dick , to give a proper
iwestern setting to the scene. The
young man seemed to bo having
nome trouble in locating a murdcr-
, cr who was about ripe for arrest
i and whoso whereabouts , so his do-
I tectives Instincts informed him wore
In the vicinity of Broken Bow.
With this bunch , so to speak ,
Sherlock , Carter & Co. Increased his
vlgllcnco to Eiirh nn extent that It
became quite notlcallo , and finally
attracted the attention of Marshal
Draper who was also doing a"slouth
act , " not from any ulterior motive
but because It was his business In
a general way. The marshal ques
tioned Sleuthful Holmes , found Mm
very incoherent and decidedly un
satisfactory. Ho didn't propose to
loosen up on any Information that
would benefit a rival officer , not
much ! There were too many poo-
pic in the sleuth business anyhow ,
and a genuine up-to-date "bright
eyes" had to hump himself If he cap
tured enough rewards In a year to
keep him In' Fluke's sawdust and
cigarette papers. Draper Investi
gated ; but with poor results. Then
he tried a different tact , and gently
but firmly freezing to the restive
youth , ho escorted him to the city
bastlle and turned the key on him.
With the coming of the dawn , thing
assumed a more tangible aspect and
bH by bit the story was pieced to-
cctl'cr.
It seems 'that the youngman , who
had been working at the Brenozer
place , was hopeful and desirous of
becoming a great detective , and
to keep himself fit was always lookIng -
Ing for something to happen in this
line and now , it did not take the
other hoys about the place longto
discover the hidden ambition and
to play It up for all It was worth.
They represented one of their num
ber to bo a fugitive from justice
hinted at murder and several other
direful things. The youngster ab
sorbed It like a seventy cent sponge
In a cigar case , and immediately
took up the Imaginary trail. It was
finally represented that th sus
pected person was to leave on the
train that night and the Amatuer
Holmes took a horse and made for
town direct , only to bring up In the
"bird cage" himself. As the whole
adventure seemed to bo based on
"hot air" tales , the would be sleuth
was given his liberty.
