CHRISTMAS.

The Christmas tide is upon us
again-the season of JOY and glad
ness because the season of peace
and good will.
Christmas is essentially the fes-
tival of the children and the
Door. 1t is the babe in Bethle-
hem's manager whom we honor by
it's observance and his walk in life
was by choice among the meek and
lowly. Make the children happy,
for they will soon face the cares and
the worries and the anxieties oflife
in selfish world. See to it that
the little ones are visited by Santa
Claus, for otherwise you will DIES
troy their childish faith in the love
of which to them he is the incar-
nation. Give to the needy and seek
to relieve the distressed. Your own
heart may be filed with grief and
sorrow, but the most beautiful Of
all divine bcncfccnce is that by
which, when we wipe away
another's tears, Our own may cease
to fall.
The South has been greatly bless
ed in material things during the
past year. The tillers of the soil
have received bounteous return for
it's yield and as a result all classes
have prospered. From purely
material standpoint this will be the
happiest Christmas in number of
years for the Southern people. The
poor, however, we have always
with us and there are many in
dividuals Of the various classes who
are poverty-stricken even at this
season of prosperity unparalleled
for number Of years past. The
prosperity which has been visited
upon many should but make them
the more eager to bring happiness
at this Joyous season upon the many
whom poverty has not left.
Sometimes we almost despair O.
the promised time when there will
come Christmas of some happi
ness to all. All of us could have
some cause for JOY this Christmas
towards that end we all would work
There is enough unused wealth il
the world that things materia
should not stand in the way. There
are other things-there may be the
chair made vacant since the las
Yuletide, there may be those who
have sorrows so great and grief Sc
poignant that life itself has become
to them a never-ceasing burden
Even these may find some happi
ness IN the JOY of those who love
them and whom they love.
For the time, at least, let us seek
to put away from us and from otheY.
the cares and the vexations and the
sorrows.
The true Christmas spirit is the
spirit of giving and expecting moth.
Ing in return, ,-giving especially tc
the poor. Those who seek to make
others happy will in the seeking
themselves find happiness.

Her Reason.

Her Reason.
She bought hat-plain, prim and flat,
With feathers trained on Willingly;
1t hid her eyes like disguise
And touched one ear tiptiltingly:
4 homely thing of straw and string,
And yet she proudly Haunted it,
s.Twas all made clear by her "Oh, dear,
Another woman wanted it!''
She wears a dress-it COST no less
Than ninety five simoleonS,
ITS faded tan, and locSer than
That great coat of Napoleon's
" packers so, and flares as though
Some dismal spirit haunted it;
1t has not style--but she will smile:
another woman wanted it, -
OF bric-a-brac she has no lack, = E.
And still she's always buying more;
Weird wall designs and ugly steins;
Strange foods-she's always 'tfyins
more. r" - .
Once to her flat she brought "a cat -
s fake Maltese. We tainted her.
She sighed: Il know N beat, hut, oh
Another woman wanted hers -
80. -
Her married life is naught but strife
But what's the use to moraliZe%'
He has an awe inspiring jaw a
And 'IdeAgkt-to quarrel" eyes,
Threats of divorce or shows offorce
Have never even daunted him,
And she'll confess: 'Wen, .Issaid Yes,
Another woman wanted him!''

A Little Talk on Fat.

Little Talk on Fat.
Fat is made Of food, all advices to
the contrary notwithstanding
And the fat woman is the woman
who takes food into her system.
She drinks water. she sips tea or
coffee, she munches candy, or she
keeps jar of crackers handy.
She is never without something to
pUt into her mouth
The thin woman on the other hand
undergoes lcng fasts, and when she
does eat 1t is to take something which
is not very fat-producng
Maybe she takes slice of toast and
a cup of unsweetened tea
Perhaps she eats chop maybe an
egg, Or she takes salad or something z
sonr. But seldom, very seldom, does
she indulge in the ice cream which
her fat sister loves, nor does she take
ts the rich layer cakes and the album
dant preserves.
Jams and sweets are very often rath-
CT distasteful to her. though she can
eat fruit and meats.
II is, after all, a question Of diet
Though the stout woman has tlsa
great misfortune to be SO constituted
that The most of her food goes to the
formation of fat rather than the nour-
ishment of The system.
She is usually ycfy weak in her mus
Gle and she is short in her breathing,
ard, 100 frequently, she is dizzy in her
mead and in bad shape generally.
Her food goes to tat instead of to
muscle building
It is really too bad that all cannot
be built just according to their own
ideas Of beauty and grace. But since
there are those whc' are agreat deal
too tnin, it behooves them to study
their own cases and try to remedy the
defect which Is so Objectionable to
themselves IL not TO others.
AS a matter of fact, the slender girl
has things pretty much her own way
Tor she can, 10 certain extent, remedy
her defects by proper system of ex-
ercise and by correct dressing
She can so proportion her figure as
to show off her slender waist to ad-
vantage, while her thin chest can be
made to look full and her hips be train
ed into graeefulness. But 1t is diff
ficult matter to disguise the figure en-
tirely

SHIP SOMAlIA'S
LONG VOYAGE

Speaking OF overdue ships" said the
second mate OF the four-masted bark
entine John Palmer while discussing
the Inflated ship Florence, "dhat re-
minds me that sometimes vessels are
out for a long while beyond the time
generally allowed them. and yet come
into port when least expected. l was
on the ship Somalia, about eighteen
years ago, I think it was, when she
sailed from China for. San Francisco
and arrived there 158 days afterward.
We had forty-four men aboard with
sixty days provisions. She was a fine
big ship, the largest up to that time
which entered San Francisco bay.
well, we found we could not beat
into the northeast monsoon then pre-
Failing in the China sea, and we went
away south, below Australia. We
struck the worst kind of weather. We
tackled here and there but could not
seem to make any progress. We went
into Gains, and OF course we were out
Of the track of steamers and never saw
a sail. Well, our provisions began to
run short, and we were put on shorter
and shorter rations Finally we got
down to tea and rice, and precious lit
tie of it. Then it was rice only. You
can imagine how we lived. We were
living on sixty days food supplies and
had to make them last for three
months longer. OF course, we were
posted as an overdue, and then put on
the record as lost At length we
came up to the Pacific coast and out
side the Golden Gate we spoke an
American ship and obtained from her
some good sized packages of bacon,
hard bread, sugar, coffee and timed
foods. When we came into that har-
Dor, 1t was as if We had come from

DESERVING SAILOR
STAYS IN NAVY

Seaman George Reese will serve the
four years foE which he enlisted in the
United States navy without having first
obtained his discharge papers from the
barkentine John Palmer. This was
the course decided upon by Captain
Whiting, commandant of the port yes
terday after Judge Estee had dismissed
the libel against the ship brought by
Reese to recover wages that he alleged
to be due him from the ship
AS a matter of fact, the decision In
this case was of the utmost Importance
to all shippers in this harbor, and all
over the United States, for the matter
of that, Reese walked away from the
Palmer and enlisted in the navy with
out any discharge papers, upon the
claim that his papers showed that ne
was entitled to his discharge at this
port. Then he Iibelled the ship for
his wages Now, as a matter OF tact,
Captain De Lano showed that the man
had Joined the ship for the cruise,
which would have taken him to Puget
Sound in her if he had lived up to the
contract. On that showing, the case
was dismissed in the United States
court. and the man was left without
standing. However, it was also shown
that the law would not force the man
was entitled to his discharge at this
will, and the naval people would have
no authority to return him to that snip
if he should be discharged from the
naval service. Captain De Lano de-
that he be discharged from the
Iroouois. and while Captain Whiting
disclaimed any intention to rob mer-
ohantmen of seamen, and gave every
assurance chat the like case would not
again occur, he decided to hold the
man Reese to his enlistment He Will
remain in the navy, therefore.
