that the people of the mountain states
believed the arid lands belonged to
them as matter of right. whereas the
people in the fertile plains country con-
tended that they had bought their

of showing that the weSterners used
the public domain without paying for
the privilege, not even paying taxes
thereon, and hence was a discrimina-

BEAUTIFUL CALENDAR.
Fairbanks Fairy Calendar, Copy of
Which rlay be Had Free.

By far the most beautiful and artis-
tic thing of the kind that we have
seen is Fairbanks Fairy Calendar for
1901, a copy of which we have just re-
ceived with the compliments Of the
N. X. Fairbank Company. Chicago,
III. 1t consists of five designs, one
on a sheet, size 1O4N124 inches, ele-
gantly Autographed in beautiful
colors and gold, on extra heavy plate
stock. The designs, by the celebrated
artist, W. H. McEntee, represent
handsomely decorated Dresden china
plaques, on rich plush backgrounds,
no two alike. The first sheet is the
calendar proper, as it contains the en-
tire twelve months calendar dates
grouped within the plaque, with a
background of royal purple. The
other four designs contain figures
typifying Morning, n"Noon, "''Even-
ing" and Might modelled in colors
appropriate to the time Of day repre-
sented, and bossed on relief plaques,
set against rich plush mats of silvery
blue, bright apple green, rich pea
cock blue and deep crimson. These
four plaques have no lettering what
ever to mar their artistic beauty, and
are designed expressly for decorative
purposes. Each of the five sheets
has separate hanger, which can be
retained or removed, so that the
plaques and calendar can be used
singly or together, framed or I'M
framed, to decorate your home in an
almost endless variety of ways which
your ingenuity and artistic taste will
suggest. 1t is impossible to describe
the rich coloring, exquisite beauty
and superb decorative effect attained
in Fairbanks Fairy Calendar for 1901.

A man walked into a country print

of news in the local column.
'sDo you want 10 subscribe for the

BISHOP CHESHlRE'S MEMORIAL SER
MON.
- An Entertaining, Impressive, Well
Written Production

The Wilmington Messenger thus re-
fers to the sermon Of Bishop Cheshire
on the life and character of Rev
William S. Pett;grew. as printed in
the GOLD LEAF Nov. goth:
The sermon preached at Henderson
on the 18th Of last month, Oh Rev
William Shepard Pettigrew, by Bishop
Cheshire, is memorable one. 1t is
in the first place concerning a much
lameuted minister Of most excellent
worth and exalted character, and
a man of high type, of singular purity
and sweetness Of life and full Of the
milk of human kindness In second
place, the sermon is an entertaining,
impressive, well written production,
and evidently by minister of ability
and study. 1t is not commonplace
and fruitless, but is marked with
sober reflection, breadth Of view.
and sagacity OF understanding, it re-
produces with felicity of touch and q
certain human charm something of
the past-the plain, heroic times that
produced genuine men of the staunch,
noble type-and presents fine study
of a devout and most useful, and we'll
beloved servant of the Lord Jesus
Christ, who was antique OF the past,
Independent, of real moderation, the
very soul OF honor and sympathy, and
goodness, well worthy TO have written
in application to himself what Abou
Ben Adhem said in reply to the
angel
Il pray thee then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow
men"
We knew for well nigh thirty years
this "servant of God" We have
known but the fewest number of men
who lived such gracious, beautiful,
consecrated lives, and who were in
themselves such admirable represent
atives of the highest manhood, such
delightful expressions of regenerated
fallen humanity. He lived for God
and eternal truth. and when he was
called to cease his labors on earth he
did not die, but passing out of the
perishing tabernacle of flesh he was
SO TRANSFORMED, that he no doubt, en-
tered upon the unending life in eternal
glory. We rather marveled that the
Bishop took his text from an epoch
riphal book. 1t would have been more
appropriate if he had chosen the
words of the Christ, the Son of God.
the Redeemer of the lost.

The Century's Last Christmas.

Making an appeal for a simpler
Christmas, Edward Box. in the De-
cember's Ladies' Home J0urmal, con
siders this Christmas-because II i
the last Of the century-a good time
to change about and 90 back to the
simpler Christmas of earlier days
why not respond little to our
natural selves: the selves that We're
given to US as children?" he asks.
I'm other words, why not be simpler,
and be true to ourselves? Why not
give a remembrance to our children to
carry them through their lves-the
remembrance that comes Of true
giving? Not the giving that we feel,
for some reason. we should or ought
to practice. Not the giving that IS
measured by what the gift costs.
Not the giving that comes Of any
artificial or conventional motive. But
the giving that comes Of great glad
ness: the giving prompted by real
loving-kindness the giving OF sin
cerity; the giving OF the heart. 1t
makes no difference how simple may
be the giving. 1t need not be gift,
even few written words will suffice.
| believe that there are certain things
needed to evoke the higher power OF
Christmas: its rarest gladness. 1t
shines brightest and best, and dis
closes most where material expression
of it is wanting. 1t tells its best and
sweetest secrets where love is found.
1t grants its highest endowments to
Ia a
gladden. the lives of others. The ma
terial surroundings matter not. Upon
4 such Christmas the Master OF the
feast bestows the dearest, most abid
inc influences that can come into the
human heart.

COME. LET'S BE HONEST.
Give Us Mrs. Santa Claus as Well
as Mr.. Santa Claus, Tradition or
no Tradition.

One Of the GOLD LEAFS exchanges
sets up the following claim in justice
to woman:
Speaking OF our venerable old friend
Santa Claus, it is ali right for the
children to love the kindly saint. but
isn't it just little mean that there
isn't Mrs. Santa Claus to share the
warm regard of innocent, juvenile
hearts?
Everywhere you hear Of the dear
old man." the Jolly old man." the
generous old man." but never q word
about the thoughtful old lady" and
in very truth it is the women who
make Christmas what it is, after all.
Who is it that drags the husband and
father through the shops in search Of
a certain kind of doll for the baby or a
new-fangled iischu for the oldest girl9
1t is mother. Of course. Who works
late at night on some surprise for the
sleeping head of the family. and who
grows tired and heated in the kitchen
preparing special holiday pies and
buildings to please the holiday palate?
Who buys the WREATH Who hangs
up the mistletoc? A woman, Of
course, and yet never once do you see
aught but a gray-headed, rosy-cheek-
ed man, receiving all the homage and
all the praise.
Just let the men, headed by Santa
Claus himself, try and run Christmas
alone, and see where they would come
out. They must be aided by woman;
they must be prompt in the niceties
of life by dainty, feminine touch !;
they would bungle Christmas into
such shape that the children wouldn't
recognize it if they started out on the
principle that it is necessary to make
"a holiday brimful OF happiness.
The women are always needed when
sunshine is to be caught and held,
therefore at Christmas they are nat
urally queen pin of the revel, yet a
masculine Santa Claus, the imposter,
smiles on benignly, and nowhere in
sight is there shown his helper of the
opposite sex, without whom he would
be thoroughly at sea. If you wish TO
be honest set up Mrs. Santa Claus,
it is in opposition to tradition, but it
is in line with the real state Of
affairs.

SERMON ON ADVERTISING.
An Iowa Editors Views on How to
Attract Business

Recently the editor of the Cresco
Qa.) Times gave an instructive talk
to his patrons through the medium Of
his columns. He said in part:
1T may crafty the vanity of the
citizen to have his business ability
and his success eulogized, but it will
never add dollar TO his fortune to
pay transient, travel-stained pencil
pusher to write few paragraphs Of
praise concerning himself and his
business. His neigh bors, who are as
sociating with him daily, know him
too well to believe anything that is
not true about him.
What the merchant needs to help
him sell goods is not a pictureor write
up in the publication Of some smart
'.foreign'' advertising faker, but a
regular advertisement in the local
papers of what he has to sell and then
to invariably adhere as to price and
quality to the specifications Of the adj
vertisement.
Editors have ali opportunity to
scan pretty closely the effect OF differ
ent kinds Of advertising and to see
the effect of neglecting to advertise
in the local papers. The observant
editor might be dropped down into a
dozen stores in a town in which he
wa. an entire stranger, and he could
determine in half an hour any pleasant
weekday which Of the stores advertise
indiciously.
.sMerchants who advertise attract
strangers; those who do not, keep q
few old customers until they begin to
learn through the advertising columns
that cheaper and more up-to-date
goods are sold at other stores. The
merchant who does not advertise can
not afford to renew his stock with up
todate goods, for he has not sold his
old stock, so he loses his old customers
and keeps his old goods, and all be-
cause he will not ADVERTISE"
