MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
Keeping Christmas in the Heart

The heart in which Christmas is
truly kept is a gentle heart. 1t is
full of kindly thoughts and inspira-
tions. 1t wishes Ill to none, but good
to all. Then its good wishes blos s )m
into fruit. The wonderful outflow OF
kindness at Christmastide is one of
the most striking evidences of Christ
ianity. Ie is nothing less than the
spirit OF Christ diffusing itself in the
world, pouring out through human
lives. 1t is Christ coming again and
living not only among men, but in
men, reincarnating himself in those
who love him.
If we keep Christmas in our hearts
1t will not only sweeten our own
lives, but will make us sweeteners of
the lives of others. A lady tells of
gathering a handful of sweetbrier
when on an excursion in the woods,
and putting it into her bosom. She
soon forgot it, but all day as she
rambled here and there she smelled
everywhere a spicy fragrance. On
every woodland path she found the
same odor. On barren cliffs and in
deep gorges the air was laden with
the same perfume. The other men,
bers of her party had their handfuls
of all sorts of wild flowers, but she was
surprised to find that all these SEEM
ed to have the same kind of fra
GRANGE. As the party went home on
the boat, she said: "Some one must
have a bouquet of sweetbrier."
Late at night, when she undressed,
there was the sweetbrier tucked
away in her bosom. All day she had
carried hidden on her own person the
perfume which she had supposed
came from Others. "How good 1t
would be-" she said to herself, as she
closed her eyes, eff could carry a
spirit in my breast that everyone
meet should seem lovely"
Ir we keep Christmas in our hearts
our lives will be sweet, whatever the
condition. We will not be dependent
on the weather, nor on the DISPOSE
tions of the people about US. We
carry the secret of sweetness within
us, and wherever we so the air about
us is perfumed with the love that
dwells in our hearts.-Forward.

A child came close to his teachers side.
His book tight clasped In his little hand.

And the words are so big. and they're all 81

When we come to the lessons where they ar,

Teacher smiled at the troubled face,
And tenderly stroked the curly head:-
Before We reach them. think you will learr
The way 10 read them" she gently said;
But IL you shouldn't. I'll help you then.
And don't you think that the wisest plan
Is 10 learn the lesson that comes today.
And learn Il the very best you can7"
And It seems TO me II Is so with US;
We look at the days that are still ahead
The days that perchance may never be ours

But surely the Teacher Who gives the task

CASTRO A DESPERATE MAN.

Venezuela is reeking with dead as the
result OF President Castro's merciless
and reckless rule. This statement is
based on inside information secured by
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat which
has correspondent in that country.
This correspondent declares that
Turnout Venezuela conditions are Ia
mentable. Castro's mandate is the
only law and he shows scant mercy He
has filed the jails with his political OPP
ponents. Executions take place every
where. The soldiery is able in this
way to crafty personal spite or disap-
pointment. Within sixteen miles of
road close to the capital eighty-five
corpses can be counted today. These
unfortunate persons have been either
hanged or shot. The country else
where reeks with the dead" He also
states that Castro seems entirely ir-
responsible and is likely to yield to any
mad impulse; that revolutionists are
Increasing in strength all over Vene-
zuela, and there are constant additions
to the army of insurgents.
It is not strange, therefore, that I'M
rest exists, that critical conditions ex-
cite the people, and all semblance of
justice even as to life and liberty has
vanished not to say anything of claims
of outsiders. Such conditions can not
continue; the world is interested in
seeing that changes for the better
shall come; the people of Venezuela
themselves will not continue under
such tyrant.

thousand rooms or more were not un-
common.
The great depth in which the an
Gent footpaths We're worn in the solid
rock, seven or eight inches, was a
further indication Of the magnitude of
the population, or else Of the long
centuries of use by a race which did
not wear hard shoes studded with

Governor Prince proposed two meth
DDS Of saving the ruins in the Terri
tory. One was to secure the passage
of general federal law which would
exempt from pre- emption under the
homestead laws such lands as contain
archaeological treasures. In addition
to\ national legislation, he suggested
that New Mexico presented fascinat-
ing field for the archaeological enter
prise of individuals or societies in the
east. With small fund, say, $500. a
piece of land containing some interest
ing ruins could be acquired and made
the subject of scientific excavation, or,
If the nature of the ruin We're such, of
careful preservation.
