Real Spirit Of Christmas Giving,
We are Too Prone to Measure Our Christmas
Gifts by the Yardstick OF Intrinsic Value.

"Our hearts are usually very much
larger at Christmas than our purses"
writes Edward Box of "The Christmas
that Remains" in the December
Ladies' Home Journal "The desire
is to remember everybody that we
know. But our means do not gener-
ally allow us to do it. So we often
pass entirely by at Christmas, people
to whom a simple Merry Christmas
and nothing more, would mean
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 acknowledge 1t in so
many words or not, that we have
grown so commercially and so arti6ci-
ally minded in this country that thous-
ands of us are prone to measure our
Christmas presents by the ya,ds,ck of
intrinsic value, or by what the recipi-
ents will think of them. We seem to
have entirely lost sight of the fact that
we can always give something And if
we gave that something we would
really come closer to the real spirit
of Christmas giving. 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
pleasant in this world as the feeling
that one is remembered, and this
few written words will often convey
more strongly than gift. Yet we in
variably pu. the gift first. Our re-
membrance must take some form, we
think. other than a mele verbal or
written expression. And that is the
artificial within us; not the natural.
We seem 10 refuse to believe that it
is the simplest things we do that have
the greatest influence. 1t is the
simplest Christmas that remains"

AN EXPERT SHARPER.
Operating a Clever Game Through This
Section.

There is a smooth looking individ-
ual, tlashily dressed, with bright red
tie and gray colored suit, circulating
through this section VINO will bear
watching. He is a card sharp and a
money charmer who worked film fam
games clever enough to beat several
people out of few hard earned dol
lars.
After working his game in Sunbury
and nearby towns he appeared in
Shamokin last Wednesday evening,
and the manner of working his game
was the same as used while in this
place and will be remembered by the
proprietor of the cigar stores whom
he visited.
Entering cigar store on Inde-
pendence street, Shamokin, together
with seedy looking companion, he
purchased cigars for two, and turning
to the crowd of young men loafing
about the counters said: "Say, do
you know of a widow with $4,000
who would like to have husband ?"
This startled the crowd and one
named several fictitious young girls
in fun. Using this as pretext TO in
troduce his little game, he now pro-
ceeded.
"You see," ne SAID, 81 want a wife
to travel with me to assist in my magic,
for | am sleight-o performer
and conjuror." Pulling piece of
plain manila wrapping paper from his
pocket he laid it upon the cigar case
With the other hand he produced
silver ring, about three inches in di-
ameter. 1t resembled curtain ring.
He laid half dollar inside the ring
and covered the ring with a circular
disk of pasteboard. With wave of
his hand he lifted the ring, and 10
the half dollar had flown. Replacing
the ring he lifted it and brought the
half dollar back. He repeated this
several times to the mystifcation of
the crowd. Then carelessly drawing
a dollar from his pocket said: "Here's
dollar I'd like to lose. Will any one
bet that that half dollar is under
that ring? A gullible youth, who
was sure he saw the halt dollar in the
ring, wagered the dollar, and of course.
lost. After charming the ducats from
the pockets of several others of the
crowd, he picked up his outfit and
went out smiling. His trick was
clever. He had two rings, one with
fIlse bottom in the exact color of
the paper on which he laid it; the
other was unprepared. By means OF
the false bottom he could make the
coin disappear and appear at will.
He worked the same game in sew
eral cigar stores with the same sue
cess He's him,famer, and slick
one, too, as his dupes will testify
While in Sunbury, in places where
he was unable TO find any person to
bet against his own game, ne realized
good profit by explaining the trick
TO those who were Interested for the
small sum of ten cents, making them
promise beforehand not to disclose
the trick.-Sn6H,y Item.

Can't Come Too Soon.

1t has not taken long for the peo-
pie to discover in what direction
the Mckinley prosperity yane points
since his election. With meat up
one cent pound ; with salt two
hundred per cent. higher than it
was three weeks ago; with rice
threatened by the grip of a trust,
and with over two dozen new com
binations Of capital struggling for
incorporated privileges, that they
may control the output and price of
different commodities the people
need most, it is not difficult to see
what the success of Mr.. Mckinley
promises the great body of the
American people.
Already in different lines of man
ufactures the word has gone out
that wages must be reduced, while
on the other hand, every prepara-
ton is being made to increase the
price of articles that the less paid
labor is expected to produce This
is not what the people wanted, but
As what they voted tor. 1t is posi-
bly, not what they expected, but it
is what they worked for and what
they will get.
The masses who refuse to listen
or to think; who allow their par
tisan prejudices to control their ac-
tions, and who are too bigoted to
even consider their own welfare,
when threatened by the party with
which they affiliate, will have no
reason to complain that they were
deceived in political matters.
There never was time when is
SITES were made palmer than during
the last campaign. There never
was a time when results were more
certain or aims and purposes more
apparent, There was even no de-
nying the intentions of the Repub,
llcan party to foster and protect
trusts, and those who voted tor the
party did so with a full knowledge
ol Wnat might be looked Tor.
Results may be coming a little
sooner than was anticipated and
their effects be found to be sooner
than was expected, but with it all
it is what the country wished for
and what we hope it will get to the
fullest extent.
When we are for a thing we
ought to be for it right, and whei
we are for the trus S, we ought tc
be for all they want, all they ash
and all they demand. If they ar,
right we can't have them too soor
or too much Of them. If they ar,
wrong the people who supported
and favored them cannot learn hov
foolish they were too quickly

School Director Geo. Nj. Miller,
of Franklin County, who in re-
cent address before the County In
stitute dwelt at length on the ballot
frauds in Philadelphia, appears to
be one of the few men in interior
Pennsylvania who estimate at its
proper value ballot-box crimes in
great cities as menace to the coun-
try vote. Whenever the farmers Of
Pennsylvania understand that under
the present law an illiiterate ex-
criminal in Philadelphia, with the
assistance Of the machine, can cast
enough illegal ballots to nullify the
votes of an entire township in an
interior county, then, and not till
then, will machine methods be
wiped out of existence. Another
thing which the farmers will have
forced upon their attention sooner
or later is that these corrupt ma
chine methods are gradually creep
ing into the election systems in the
cities and towns of the interior,
thus constituting all additional
menace to rural suffrage rights. -Er
