fraught with memories and deGr from
history and united love. Then to
those of us who once have known
this joy-denied us now, either from
change, removal or death or saddest

given to making others thankful and
the blessing will surely shed some of

pause only to recall that she is beauti-
full whether in her delicate green bril-
dial robes of spring decked with VIC
lets of the meadows and primroses

trailing arbuteuS and royal purple
lilacS for crOwn-or whether in the
full matronly beauty of still summer
with the scent of new mown hay in
her breath-whether in the gorgeous
coloring of autumn with the song of
the harvesters blending with the sad
dening music of the brooks as they
whisper and babble to the wild gene

white mentle of snow about her and

ken words, hallowed by desire to give

at Is quite impossible to form
any idea as to the value of the
presents made by the Queen or
given to her." writes Lady Jeune
in an article on "What Christmas
Means to Queen Victoria" in the
December Ladies' Home Journal.
'In some cases, when her gifts con.
sist of India shawls, jewelry and
the like, they are very valuable be.
cause they are unique, but the
presents she gives to her family,
or in turn receives from them, are
not expensive. The royal purse is
not an inexhaustible one, and the
claims on it are enormous, so that
the presents given by royal people
must always be regarded in the
light Of souvenirs and not as cost
ly gifts. The Queens children are
not able to afford expensive pres
ents so we may consider the value
OF all royal gifts from the senti-
mental, not the commercial, point
of view, and it is it's pleasantest as
well as most touching aspect, for
1t shows that simplicity and depth
Of the family affection, which is
neither nourished nor fostered by
any feeling of greed or expectation,
but which is as simple and genuine
as that Of the poorest subject Of
our great Queen"

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAN.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Guthrie. Okla, Nov. 2S.-Two years
ago the legislature passed special
tax act designated to reach cheap
John" stores that remain in town but
a short time. This act made the tax
es due on personal property a lien on
the property, and on any attempt to
sell the property the taxes to become
at once due and payable. In a case
brought from Canadian county,
wherein the county attempted to take
possession of goods so sold, Judge
declaring that the goods the county
Tarsney decides against the county,
attempts to hold We're not actually the
same goods assessed, so the lien
would not hold. This virtually makes
the law void, as it would be impossi-
BILE in any stock of merchandise to
identify the goods assessed.

HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK

In speaking of this much dreaded d.

SUCCESS IS EASILY ATTAINED

''The appearance is that only COM
paratively small number of people
ever quite realize what an easy thing
success would be il only they made
effective the means to it which they
have already in hand" writes Rev.
Chas. II. Parkhurst, d. D., in an arti-
Gle on ''The Young Man on the Fence"
in the December Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Differences among people in re-
spect to efficiency are far less an af-
fair Of resources than they are a mat
ter of getting those resources trained
upon a particular point, and of get
ting that point so close to the eye
and the heart that it shall be able to
draw those energies along cOnvergent
lines, like a sun-glass that will con-
vert ordinary temperature into heat
by contracting solar lines to q focus.
1t is worth n whole fortune to get
we'll stirred up, to get all the ener-
gies Of ones being drawn out in warm
intensity upon a single object. A
good deal of the success of even n
man like ST. Paul is due to that pos
ture of mind and of life which he ex-
pressed when he said, This one thing
| do He was wholly drawn in under
| the power of n single purpose. He
was aglow with that purpose. Every
thing within him was combustible ma
terial, which he laid upon the crack
ling bonfire of that purpose Success
was, therefore, easy to him."

been too weak to stand alone. or a
sister, who from some struggle and
amid her anguish, has also found
not strength-we would enfold them
in hopeful words. A touch Of the
hand and a smile of recognition and
encouragement; would not we give
tender cause for thankfulness, and
would not in turn the glow Of spirit
ual approval warm our own hearts?
for mercy is twice blessed-it bless
es him who gives and him who takes"
And this brings us back again to
the odd question: what is it that
makes us better than our fellows?
What gives us the right to assume su.
periority, and withhold the helpful
word?' Surely not the gains Of
earth. Only kindness-only love
raises us above these less thought
full, and these are humble, as king Lit
tie, giving much. For "as we do I'M
to the least of these We do it unto
me-" extends and embraces all things
that can feel or suffer from GOODNESS,
harshness or neglect, whether human
or animal.
Then the key note to a truer life
is kindness, for if we truly feel it, we
give up causes for thankfulness to all
who come within our reach, and shed
the fragrance of tenderness, love as
surely as does the rose or violet.
And verify, verify, l say unto you
that when we have gotten to the end
of our journey on this earth and death
confronts us as a reality, only the
kind deeds we have done, the charity
with which we have judged, the low
ing words we have spoken are all that
bring us comfort, while the bells are
pealing out their warning. 1t is little
| enough we can do at best to create
| thankfulness and renew hope, but
still if we let no day pass without do
| ing all that comes within our reach
we may not have cause TO feel over
| pOwering shame as we say humbly
at last, Master; behold my sheaves."
