cHILDRENs CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Double Pleasure Would They Bring if shar-
ed with Less Fortunate Little Ones.


'If instead of overlooking our own
children with presents on Christmas,
we would give them less and lead them
to share some of the gifts that would
otherwise be for themselves with some
children to whom none would other
wise come, we would teach very USE
full and needful lesson to our little ones.
The real enjoyment of any pleasure
comes from sharing it with some one.
Pleasures which we confine to ourselves
simply make US selfish and narrow.
One of the last things which Christ did
on earth was to gather His disciples
around him and have them partake
with him of the bounties of His table.
And in this single act He taught man
kind one of its greatest lessons. Our
children cannot be taught too early to
let others partake of their pleasures,
especially those whom circumstances
have made less fortunate in enjoying
the pleasures of the world. In this
way we shall simplify the Christmases
Of our own children, which will benefit
them, and at the same time make
others happy-which is, after all, one
of the most beautiful and satisfying
pleasures in life that we can experience.
No other feeling quite reaches it. The
happy sparkle in the eye comes from
the hand that is held out to others. y

Home Journal.

one of them being carried several feet

grey cells in the cerebrum of the author have been
active and healthy condition when he that aboed

of those gentlemen in the connection given insult
each of the nasmuch it presupposes the possibility
of suspicion The LEDGER has too high opinion pub
lie servants whom the sovereign people have honored with
positions of trust intimate that any them could
be guilty of dishonesty Office The article in the Dispatch
does however the possibility of such suspicion
For this insult county officials the LEDGER is in
way responsible and leave the author the Dispatch
article to make his peace as best he
The LEDGER accused the Democratic party through its
ring manpulaors with having attempted piece of political
rtckery and usurpaon in the of appointments by
Board of Supervisors The people Amador county will
tce that the Dspatcharicle clear of that subject and
unfairly and unusty the LEDGER of something did
not do
We all know that the attempt thus usurp the functions
of the incoming Board condemned by all good citizens of
both parties The fact is that the ring of the personnel of
which the writer in the Dispatch to learn
overreached ITSELF and everybody knows it.

The slur applies also other representatives of

puts Does the author of the article wish shut the

and go back old times when business houses Jackson
worth thousands of dollars sold for hundred?
The stock of the LEDGER is now owned, however, by
Jackson business that his boomerang hits hardest on
the back stroke.
The brilliant author of the Dspach-wa will please to
bear in mind that political trickery" and "ocial dis
honesty" synonymous terms. The LEDGER has no
