Steve Mills Runs Well.

The ExAmISER has received a
communication from Diamondvillc
saying that Steve Mills, although
defeated for state senator, ran PSI
votes ahead Of the state ticket.
Steve is we'll known here and his
friends will be glad to learn that he
made such a splendid race. His
opponent was elected by only a
small majority. Steve had the coal
companies up there to buck against,
but Notwithstanding this he came
very nearly winning out.
The Diamondville News in COM
menting on the election says:
George N. Griffin [Repl and Steve
A. Mills Dem made another pretty
race in which Mills ran against the
most distinguished man on the republi-
can county ticket, for state senator and
surprised the expectations of his most
sanguine friends by his excellent run.
Mr.. Griffin has long been resident of
the county and his close touch with the
mining element in the many camps,
gave him an advantage there.
His (Mills) candidacy was a credit to
democracy, and in his defeat renegades
of the party lost proud exponent of
their principles, and the state senate
has lost veritable diplomat.

Real Spirit Of Christmas Giving


''Our hearts are usually very much
larger at Christmas than cur purscs;''
writes Edward Box of ''The Christ
mas that Remains IN the Decem-
Der Ladies' Home Journal "The
desire is to remember every body
that we know. But our means do
not generally allow us to do it. So
we often pass entirely by at Christ
mas, people to whom a simple Merry
Christmas, and nothing more, would
mean q world of cheer and light
heartedness. Because we cannot
give what We would like to we think
that we should not give at all. The
truth is, whether we choose to ac-
knowledge it in SO many words or
not, that we have grown SO com
merclally and 50 artiticlally minded
IN this country that thousands of
US are prone to measure our Christ
mas presents by the yardstick of
intrinsic value, orby what the recip-
tents will think of them. We seem
to have entirely lost sight of the
fact that We can always give SOME
thing. And if we gave that some
thing We would really come closer
to the real spirit of Christmas Civ
ing. A few cheerful words filled
with that expression of strong good
will, that is like sweet perfume,
have meaning that only few
realize. There is nothing so pleas,
ant IN this world as the feeling that
one Is remembered, and this a few
written words will often convey
more strongly than gift. Yet we
invariably put the gift first. Our
remembrance must take some form
we think, other than mere verbal
or written expression. And this is
the artificial within us; not the nat
ural. We seem to refuse to believe
that it is the simplest things we DO.
that have the greatest influence T.
is the simplest Christmas that re-
mains"
