The Lincoln police board is said to be
scandalized by the squeal of a dis
charged copper, who declares he paid
$25 to be appointed on the force and
was not left on long enough to get his
money back. The Omaha police force
is disgraced likewise by a police captain
who when previously dismissed de-
clared that he had paid $50 to hold his
job, but that did not prevent his rein
statement by the brace Of police re-
formers inflicted on Omaha by the late
Governor Savage. When police officers
have an idea that they owe their posi-,
tions to a cash consideration, we can
expect them to use their official favor
according to their own code of public
morals.

of Christmas. Better to buy some
simple thing and pay for it, than to
create debt that will haunt as a
nightmare for months afterward.
The boy on $40 a week cannot af-
ford to wear diamonds or buy them
for his best girl, and if the girl is
worth counting, she don't expect him
to remember her with that Kind of
a present. Some man presented his
wife with three tons of coal the 9th
er day, and she said the black dia-
monds this year were more accept
able than the South African. It is a
good time to buy diamonds, or any
thing else at Christmas time, that is
within reach of the pocket book, but
better go a little slow when the
money is exhausted.
The great gift that came to the
world 1000 years ago, was a jewel
whose lustre sparkled down through
the centuries, but it was in a lowly
casket. 1t was gift of pure and
love, sealed by life de-
voted to humanity, and sanctifed
by a tragic death. The love that
prompted the gift is a rich heritage
today all over Christendom. The
spirit of the Master is abroad in the
land and love is the main spring of
Christmas giving.

There is an old saying, that comes
from good authority, that lit is more

Some Of the churches and Sunday
schools will adopt the practice this
year, and the old time Christmas
tree will be loaded with presents for
people who are unfortunate.
This is highly commendable. A
Christmas gift is always welcome,
while at any other time it might be
regarded as an insult.
Wealthy people and very poor
people never have very much trouble
at Christmas time The former
have plentysof money to spend, and
never miss it, while the latter have
none, and are free from annoyance
But there is large class between
these two extremes that experience
any amount of trouble, families
where the income affords a comfort

much to spare.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

The problem that confronts every
home and every. heart at Christmas
time is the problem Of giving and in
many cases it is a serious problem
because the disposition is SO much
more generous than the pocketbook.
It is sometimes helpful to remem-
Der that the value of gift is not
measured on a financial scale. The
heart that prompts the kind remem-
brance, whether it be thet heart of
the father or mother, the child or
friend, is influenced by love and
that is more priceless than Jewels.
While it is perfectly natural for
people of wealth to spend money
lavishly at Christmas time, and per-
fectly proper that they should do
so, it is just as natural fol-, people in
moderate circumstances, or for peo-
pie who have but little of this
worlds goods, to observe the day by
thoughtful remembrance

or effort, to make child life happy.
