Christmas Thoughts.


1t is none too early to plan for your
Christmas kindnesses. In arranging
your givings, do not strain after the
impossible, but give according to your
means and ability. Try to have your
gifts serve some purpose-to amuse
to entertain; to instruct; to fill some
need supply some want; something
to serve, in the way Of cheering,
Frightening, comforting and encourag-
ing. Let them be as beautiful as you
may, but do not make them burden
some because of their usefulness, or
unftness for the recipient.
In your plannings, remember the
lonely and the friendless. Oftener
than not, you will fad them among
well-fed, well-clothed, well-conditioned
persons; money, or anything that
money will buy, will not stay the
heart-hunger, or longing for comPan-
ionship, as will kind word or act Of
social courtesy.
Remember the poor in purse with
delicate tact, for poverty is often very
proud and sensitive.
Do not forget the aged and neglect
ed; there is nothing 50 grateful for
kindly notice as unregarded age.
If your purse is empty, do not think
that Christmas brings to you no op-
portunity. To your absent friend,
send loving message of remembrance,
if only few words on postal card.
To those about you, give cordial greet
ings, and kindly words. You cannot
measure the good this touch Of sympa-
thy may do your friend.
"a smile, word, a touch,
And each so quickly given
Yet they may win
A soul from sin,
And smooth the way to heaven.
A word may soften pains keenest smart
A touch may lead US from sin apart.
How easily given J"
Nowhere have We any record that
our Lord gave material gifts. He
gave only himself. A healing touch ;
a tender tone; loving admoDition ;
a sorrowful rebuke; a look; tear (;
and in all these he gave us evidence
of his great love and compassionate
sympathy-just himself.
Give goodly gifts if you can; but
remember that oftentimes the best and
sweetest gifts are those that one can
command without money and with
out price"

sHEPHERDSTOWN W. VA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1902

Yankee. l felt sure that the Adju-
tant would get him this time. Iknew
this was his last load and only chance.
He took deliberate aim and fired.
The Yankee tumbled from his mule,
lighting upon his feet. I thought the
Adiutant had him, but it seems that
the ball must have just grazed his
temple, as I soon saw he was unhurt'
for he quickly pumped in another
she'll, took deliberate aim, shot again
and scored another clear miss. Now
comes the straDgest part OF it ALL The
Yankee still had four loads in his rife
and six in his revolver, while we had
fred our last shot and were entirely
at his mercy. The Adjutant's horse
had been shot through the neck and
was standing close to the Yankee and
seemed somewhat stunned. The Yam
kee saw that he had missed his man,
dropped his rifle, leaped on the horse,
gallOped away, taking with him the
Adjutant's blankets and clothes and,
in fact, his entire outfit which had
been recently sent him from home.
The Adjutant looked at him as he dis
appeared, and cried: "There goes the
Yankee with my horse and all
my good clothes"
This all happened in sight of Gen.
Sheridan's rear guard, and there was
nothing else for US to do but fall back,
which we did. The Adjutant mount
ed on the Yankees mule. We fell
back in good order. We captured one
mule, one rifle, fifty rounds of ammu-
milton and one canteen of bad whis-
key.
The ladies on the portico stood their
ground and witnessed the duel. After
the fracas was over, the Adjutant
wanted to go up and talk to them, but
l would not consent to this. | did
not wish to see them after that affair.
l suppose they have told the story
many times since.
must confess that l took very llt-
tie part in the fight, but being un-
armed, and looking into the muzzle Of
that rife in the hands of man who
would shoot, l decided it was best to
let the Adjutant do the fighting, al
though it was my duty to close N
with the Yankee, unarmed as | was
Nearly 30 years after the scene just
described met Adjutant Rogers at
the Ballard House in Richmond.
When l spoke to him and as soon as
he recognized me, his first words were:

Face Your Trouble.

81 had plowed around arock in one
of my fields for FIVE years" said far
mer, "and | had broken a mowing-ma-
chine knife against it, besides losing
the use of the ground in which it lay,
all because supposed it was such
large rock that it would take too much
time and labor to remove it. But to-
day, when l began to plow for corn,r 1
thought that by and by might break
my cultivator against that rock so /,
took crow-bar, intending TO poke
around it, and find out its size once
for all. And it was one of the sur
prises of my life to find that it was
little more than two feet long. 1t was
standing on its edge, and so light that
I could lift it into the wagon without
help"
"The first time you really faced
your trouble you conquered it" l re-
piled aloud, but continued to enlarge
upon the subject all to myself, for |
do believe that before We pray, or bet
ter, while We pray, We should look our
troubles square in the face,
Imagine the farmer plowing around
that rock for FIVE years, praying all
the while, 20 Lord, remove that rockr
when he didn't know whether it was
big rock or little fat stone
We shiver and shake and shrink,
and sometimes do not dare to pray
about trouble, because it makes it
seem so real, not even knowing what
we wish the Lord to do about it when,
if we would face the trouble, and call
it by name, one-half OF its terror
would be gone.
TIE trouble that lies down with us
at night aud confronts US on first
waking in the morning is not the trou-
BILE that we have faced, but the trou.
bic whose proportions we do not know.
