When l was q girl there used TO be
some cards that were very popular with
the young gentry" that bore this in
scription, May 1 C U Homer and
under this, IF not, May Sit on the
Fence and See You Go By" Then
IN the corner was the picture of the
fellow on the fence, while the girl was
passing along very dignified. Now
Yesterday, while all was hustle and
life, so many passing by my window, 1
felt like the fellow on the fence, /
could not 60 TO town. but could see
the rest go by. How 1 enjoyed it. !
could picture TO myself their starting
and their home coming. All intent on
Xmas. There was one wagon con-
tanning father, mother, the ''bAby girl
OF 10 and neighbor. AS they went
home father and mother were each
reading n letter, probably from some
loved one, telling of their coming to
the old home nest to celebrate Christ
mas, for by the Joyful look on their
countenances, It could not have been
otherwise.
And those mysterious bundles and
boxes. All seemed to have been aC
Santa Claus headquarters and received
commission from him. Then when
they got home there would be the anx-
Ious walters, yet knowing they would
not see the contents of those bundles
till after Christmas. Fathers and
mothers excuses to get the little ones
out of the way while the presents were
hidden. Oh, tell you'll it is a hard
heart and a slim purse that makes no
preparations for Christmas.
But some of the passers-by made me
sad.
While most Of the teams looked we'll
and seemed to be we'll cared for. others
sadly showed the want of care. Old
Santa ought to present their owners
with n currycOmb and brush.
One poor colt was so worried with
its blind bride. and when we noticed

NAL had cause to fret, but perhaps he
was not carrying 1t to strike her with,

Then another dear little pony did
not even need n bride. 1 hope his
master is kind to him For what could
be more enjoyable than nice canter

MONOPOLY means the limiting to =
few people the Ownership of the ns-
lions wealth. The whole tendency
of monopoly Is to make the limit
narrower and narrower. Today
Thomas G. Sherman estimates that
900, 900 families own 20 per cent. of
the nations wealth. The same
authority estimates that ten years
from now 250,O 600 familses viii own
the same percentage. Hence il be-
hoOves every man outside of the
charmed circle of monopoly to oppose
this rapid concentration of wealth -
. matter of individual safety.

OUTOF WORK
Continued from page /.

We are accustomed % believe that.
while we have no work to offer our-
selves, and while it may possibly Be
scarce Just where We live, that it Is
abundant somewhere, and We are quite
ready 70 tell the applicant TO move on,
and To give him the encouraging as
suCance that the mysterious on affords
abundant work and good wages; bat
the poor fellow who has been coming
from the mysterious on and going 20
the same place for many y day knows
that we tell not the truth. \
With the increasing perPlexity of
civilization comes also the increasing
difficulty of self-employment, and also
an increasing demand for the inter
ference of organized society. This Is
no charity, but business
Il must be made possible for every
person to obtain steady employment in
the production of the necessaries of
life. This is the most serious problem
that DOW challenges the statesman and
the philanthropist-
It is not = question how to impose
another tax upon society, but how to
relieve society from q treme ndOus tax
already bourne. With modern appli-
snces. eight hours Of daily labor will
produce enough wealth to support the
laborer in comfort and leave u surplus.
II is society's business to set the I'M
employed at work, see that this wealth
is created, aud also that the labOrer
gets it.
What is the church of Christ doing
about this matterP Instead of laboring
with a zeal tn craate a Duhiir sauti-
ment that would uplift humanity, its
ministers are largely occupied with
discussions of foreOrdinstion, predes-
tin$tion and kindred topics concerning
which human ignorance is total, and
profit is nil.
They are snatcbihg brands from the
burning while the grand cOn1agration
in which humanity is burning goes
merrily on because no 0ne takes the
trouble to cut OF the supply of fuel.

ton by q quotation of scripture
pCOPhesy. The shepherds have Just

Proach and offer their rich gifts of
''gold, frsnkinsense and myrr." These
are the attendant circumstances of

July Fourth is the holiday of nat
iOnal independence, but Christmas is
the festival of humanity, the holt
day of the world. "Peace on earth,
and good will to man."
The proclamation goes forth
from the court of heaven: ''Glad
tidings of great Joy to all people;
for to you Is born, this day, in the
city of David, a Saviour, Christ the
Lord" This is the event of the
ages: Ale is the desire of nations. .
The significance of the event comes
out in the chorus of the celestial or
ches:ra: "Glory to God in the high
est, peace on earth, good will to
man"
Certainly this amisbie sslutatoFy,
this divine proclamation commends
itself to all the thoughtful, duty-lov-
ing, well-wishing and hope-cherIsh-
ing denizens of our world. The SEN
timent of all should be: ''Come, re-
joice with me and let us BE- glad to-
gether."
1t is not our purpose TO sermonike
or to go into a theological disquisi-
ton, nor to prescribe how this glad
anniversary should be observed.
Each in accordance with their pre-
fersnces will choose the way. But
as there is no glsdness more felici-
tious than that experienced in max
ing others happy, bring gifts, make
presents, utter kind words, wish g
"merry. Christmas to ALL" and let
childhood feel the warmth of sunny
joy. For it is a day of ''glad tidings
of great Joy to all people"
| The realm of reasonable and vir-
tuous Joy is not circumscribed By

globe, humanity is residuary legatte

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

A nice root brush and little kero-
sene oil, says an exchange, will take
the dirt and rolls out of the horses
name and tail, promote growth of hair
and add to the appearance of the ami
NAL.
The National Stockman says: The
element of beauty cannot be dispensed
with in our horses. but we should not
try to apply the same ideas of beauty to
all breeds. We must learn that those
qualities which constitute standard of
beauty for coach horse do not
hold in case of drafters, and con-
versely. There are. or should he, as
many ideals as there are purposes to be
served. and when these are kept in view
we shall have better horses. AS long
as there are scrub" horses-in quality
in this country, so long is there room
for anything that is an improvement
thereon. But we want our improved"
breeds to be improved in truth, and as
there are plenty which answer this de-
scription, there is no need of an in
ferior stallion doing serice in any part
of this country. Good stock horses
were never SO plenty and SO reasonable
in price as now.

Consumption i'm the Cow.

We find in the columns of the Massa-
chusetts Ploughman an address by a
veterinarian on the important subject
to COW owners, tuberculosis; and we
take the following notes from it:
Farmers are very apt to describe tu-
bercleS in the lungs or on the ribs as
ULCERS" SO if l speak of the word ulcer
here it may convey the idea to many of
you of what you may have seen when
making a poSt-mortem on a cow, or
dressing beef. Under the microscope
tubercles present certain appearances
not necessary to describe here.
Tuberculosis may be general or local.
1t Is spoken of as general tuberculosis
when most of the important organs of
the body are believed to be tuberculous,
or it may Iocalize itself in certain points
without any general manifestation. For
example, we may have tuberculosis of
joints, known as tuberculosis anthritis;
or we may have tuberculous inflam-
nation of the membranes of the brain
or spinal cord called tuberculosis men,
nights.
A tubercle is simply nodule; and
the name tuberculosis. conveys to our
minds at once the idea OF a disease,
whose characteristic feature is the for
nation of nodular groWths in various
organs of the body. OF course it does
not follow that every nodular growth
found in the organism implies tubercoI-
osis, for there are other diseases in which
nodules are found; for example,in CLAN
ders nodules may be present in the lungs
or other organs, which are spoken of
as the nodules or tubercles of CHAMBERS.
Therefore two adjectves are used in
connection with nodular diseases; the
term tuberculous is applied to the le-
sions of tuberculosis, and tubercular is
used in speaking of nodules that look
like tubercles when the malady is not
tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis was formerly separated

SCIENTIFIC GLEANINGs.

The human skin contains 100000
pores.
Hans Lippershein used the first tele-
scope in 1908.
The United States raises nearly one
fourth of the wheat product of the
world; while France stands second, and
Russia is third as a wheat growing
country.
Of the tonnage entering the seaports
of the United States from foreign coun-
tries rs per cent belongs to FOREIGN ton
mage vessels. In 1868 the foreign ton
mage was only 45 per cent.
Prof. Roberts has stated that the
great smoke cloud that hangs daily over
London weighs 800 tons, 60 tons of
which is solid carbon and $50 tons of
hydro-carbon. 1t was calculated that
the smoke of one year is worth 60, 000,
600,
1t is on record that the waves of the
German ocean once broke in two a solid
column of freestone thirty six feet high
and seventeen feet in diameter at the
base. The diameter at the place of frac-
ture was eleven feet. At the top of
Bound Skerry of Whaley. Zetland, the
waves have broken out of their beds,
which are eighty-fve feet above the
lever OF the sea, DlOCkS OF stone weigh
ing from eight to ten tons.
1t has been determined that the re-
sistance of the air to bullet three
quarters of an inch in diameter, weigh
ing One-tWelfth of a pound, is about ten
pounds or l20 times the weight of bull
let, at velocity of about 1000 feet per
second. On the principal of me chan
ical Similitude it has been shown that
twenty pound cannon bali fired with a
charge of sixteen pounds of powder
should acquire a velocity of $3.50 feet
second and that the resistance of the
air would then amount to $40 pounds,
or nearly twenty-three times the weight
of the shot,
