Ttv haunted house, of which there

Wltcies, ghogtg and spirits are ex
pected to peek out from ever com
ae* of the darkeud room, from
ereri knot hole and every crack
aud from every window of the
ghostly house. The pumpkin head,
with its fiery eyes and phosphorous
mouth perched on the top of a
cloth** pole will frighten many a
owall boy and girl.
The young urchin bent upon mis
ehi * will tick-tack upon our win
dows and will grease or tallow the
large £late glass fronts along our
streets; hells will he rung, and the
fsljr young misses of our city are
•xuected to suddenly slink into

in <ae<r .hands, and dressed in such
costumes that would put to shame
t»¥«>u the best of the real imps of
Halloween.
Halloween is an occasion of cer

ot>a<TYaac«3 in many of the Chxis

THE PERSONAL TOUCH
By Willi am Lawrence
(Bishop of M*w>iuiiusetts)
To the wounded soldier lifted
from the ambulance to the Base
Hospital bed the immediate thought
is o.' the personal touch of nurse,
surgeon, and clean, sheet. The
great organization of the Red Cross
w :t> its one hundred millions of
dollars, its tens of thousands of
bandage makers, are in the back
ground, out of his sight and mind,
it is all right. None the less the
great organization, the money, aud
the workers, make the ambulance,
the hospital, the surgeon and the
au"s» effective. The Red Cross is
t'e body through which the Bpirit
of patriotism and sympathy flow,
ard its best ajid finest work
as in carrying that spirit through
to the soldier by personal touch.
Amidst the whir of the machinery
ot offices, of work rooms and band
ago making, let every worker keep
tnla ia mind, "Everything that I
do, every fold that I make, is to
fce caught up for the moment by
the great organization of the Red
Crogs in order that it may be the
means whereby the personal touch
of nurse or surgeon, the strengthen
ing word of Chaplain or comrade,
may heal and comfort the body
and soul of the eoldier or sailor
who has poured out his life blood
1 for men and my Country." — Red

"1 am going to give the out

"aa" if i don't like it I will come
back. I always have liked Skag
way ai.d my health has been good
here."
Wherever Mr Clemmenger de
cides 'o locate he will be an added
force to the community. The Alas
kan wishes him the best of success.
