The Keynote of Christmas.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.


When you kneel In the green
trimmed church and say over,
quite quietly, the little prayers
which you love, just think, a
minute or two afterwards, how you
can make somebody else happy on
Christmas Day, and 1 assure you
that you win gain in this way more
absolute JOY than has come from
the Christmas presents sent to you.
The keynote of Christmas Day is
the doing for somebody else. The
Christ. child came into the world,
not to be happy, but to make hap
piness for others; to make the path
way of lie smooth, and to show
how forgiving, even unto death, ,one
should be. So make that your
Christmas. Make it the day when
enmity and grudges are forgotten,
when the friendly grasp is given
where it has been withheld for a
year, and where everything is blot
ted out from your life except q
blessed peace and an entire good.
will to all the world.

Bob Whites Ghost.

From the Jefferson City lFlbuDe.
This is about the only county in
the State without first class ghost
story, and it is evident that our
home prevaricators are not attend
ing to their business. Within the
last two days Cooper county boasts
of a house wherein the most hor.
rible groans, cries for help, etc.,
can be heard at night. Schuyler
comes to the front with a novelty.
A ball of fire suddenly pops up
from the earth and travels at var.
ious heights for distance of three
miles and then disappears in a
graveyard. Wright county has a
number of old-time ghosts, spooks
and hobgoblins whose nocturnal
meanderings are wonderful. Some
have heads and others are headless
but everyone is a genuine ghost
Mexico he's a great variety OF mod
ern CHESTS which frequent the
suburbs. In fact, ghosts at Mex
leo are becoming quite drug il
the market, and needy towns car
obtain a supply by addressing Col
Bob White. All Mexico ghosts are
warranted to be genuine, and the
public will do we'll to lock out fol
frauds and limitations.

A Gentleman Farmer.

Wisdom may sometimes be gath
cred in unlikely quarters, as is
shown by little anecdote of sIav.
cry times.
Old Colonel Maynadier of Ann
Arundel county, Maryland, was a
large sIave-owner, who spent a
good deal of his time away from
home. One day upon his return
he took drive over his property,
and met a small colored boy.
"Whom do you belong to, boy?''
the colonel asked.
"Why, sab, II longs to-to
Colonel Maynadier, sah."
"Who's he?" inquired the col.
onel, to see what the boy would
say.
"H-h-he's a farmer, sah."
"What sort of farmer?''
"Ge-gentleman farmer, sah."
