A Christmas Story,
written by Msyola Nichols, of Thatcher school. |

Written by asyola Nichols, of Thatcher school.
will tell you the story of a
Christmas of many years ago. 1t
was about an aged woman whose
husband was killed in the war of
1912. The lady and her grand
child Ga little girl aged twelve)
lived all alone in a little log honse.
They were very poor, and the
old woman was in feeble health,
but still she and the little girl
would have TO wash on cold win
ter days to earn their food.
1t was just two days till Christ
man, and the old lady didn't have
even a penny TO buy the little
girl a present for it took all they
could make to buy food and cloth
ing,
Christmas eve came on at last.
The old lady put the child to bed;
then she knelt down and prayed
to the Lord that he might send her
something to give to the little girl.
She finished her prayer and sat
down by the fire. Presently some
one knocked at the door and
to her great surprise she saw
little girl standing there with her
arms loaded with dresses, dolls
and other things, She gave them
to the lady and said, "These are
for you and your little girl" Then
the lady said, "God bless you,
you sweet child, that you may
have a happy Christmas"
After the little girl bad gone
she closed the door and with a
smile on her face went into the
room where her grandchild was
sleeping, and filed her stockings
with toys and dresses; then she
took off her stockings and filled
them also. After she had done
this she went TO bed and slept
soundly all night.
The next morning when they
both arose, the girl said, "Grand-
mamma look, look! Santa Claus
has been here" Her grandma
then said, "Why your dear neigh

GOUGlNG THE GOVERNMENT.

That was funny little comedy
;hat ran in the daily papers recent
~ on such a very uninteresting
subject as ordinary cements say
Forestry and Irrigation. One day
we were told that congress was to
be appealed to by certain manu-
facturers in order to stop the Off
cials of the Interior Department
from manufacturing cement for
use in building the great govern
ment irrigation works in the West
the claim being that it was unfair
for the government to compete
with private enterprises, when
their cement trust was ready to
furnish all the material needed at
raise in price of only about 200
per cent. After learning the
strength of the governments posi-
tion, and that the public took no
stock in their cry of the danger of
its competing with individual eff
forts, these same "protesters" sud
denly discover that it was only
certain wicked trust" men that
had raised the prices; they would
be very glad to furnish the cement
at the prices the government could
manufacture it. This is only an
other example of the sort of un
written law that exists in this
country, that there is no harm in
overcharging the government.
Luckily in this case the would-be
grafters collided with the wrong
men, for the Reclamation Service
is composed of honorable, practi
cal men, who put the great work
they are doing ahead of all private
considerations.

Eve, Midnight and Morning.
written for the GuARDlAN)

1t was New Years eve, the last
eve of the last century and the
beautiful city Of El Paso wis light
as day with the varigatcd colors of
the electric lamps that shone out
in every conceivable shape of
beauty from decorated arch and
overhangings of parks and gardens,
from every doorway and towering
dome and street and alley, all was
aglow and cast a magnificent lustre
over every sidewalk and passway
where the tide of humanity surged
to and fro; the beautiful maiden, in
ber costume of fashionable attire,
the matron, in her suit Of grey,
the fashionable gentleman, the old
man, the cripple and unfortunate,
all basking in the last rays of light
that would ever shine upon them
in the passing hours of 1900, which
were counted now. Her roll Of
time would soon be sealed up only
to be opened in the great eternity
to reveal who were written there.
All! What images are penciled
there. Some glowing deeds of
valor and love, some shining path
ways paved that lead to everlast-
ing heights, some have sacrificed
their lives that others might be
blessed; some have slipped life's
sweetness all day long; some have
tasted only the bitter dregs; all
have come to the last eve of the
century together all to say good
bye to her dying months.
The great clock strikes twelve,
when the doleful, deufening alarm
whistle of the fire department peal
ed forth its awful sound aud in an
instant is followed by the whistles
from every work shop, church
bells, firing of guns and the roar
ing of cannons. The indescriba BILE
sound would make the listener
think that not only the end of
the century, but the end of the
world had come, To me it seemed
an awful funeral knell AS L lay
on my pillow at midnight l
thought, what does all this say to
meY 1t says that you will never
hear this awful sound again in this
life; before il comes again you will
have slept in the grave and your
infant babe will have become old
and grey and have seen his chit
dren's children and also lain down
ere the first moments of another
century are thus announced.
When the first morn of the cen
tury dawned and the great sun
with its searching gaze cast forth
its brilliant rays, few fell upon
the crown of those whose journey
of life had spanned the century
and few bright rays fell upon the
infants heads who would behold
the first morn of another century.
Who of us stop to think. A hun,
dred years hence and an entirely
new generation will possess and
inhabit this earth; and we "the
ones that are now" will have
passed to the great beyond our
friendship there to renew, to "know
as we are known" 10 receive the
treasures we have laid up in
Heaven; to look back and see what
we have left to posterity; to see
where we have left our names en-.
craven here; to see the image ofl
our lives engraven in the great
eternity; to pass before us a pleas
ing panorama or bring back scenes
TO our memory from which we
would turn away.

JosEpHUs.
Coahaaed from last week:

The time was when unbelicf in
the SO called christian religion was
counted crime---a criminal often CT
against God--and in thousands o,
cases death paid the penalty. This
was wrong. To put a man TO death
because he has no taste for poison
is monstrously absurd and cruel
Such has been tho state of offairs
in times past, and even to-day in,
tidels are put to death inwardly
simply because they don't like the
poison. Who does?
All, dear reader. If we rightly d..
vide the Word Of God, there will
be no poison. However, If we start
with the first chapter OF Genesis,
tho work OF creation, and then take
with US the second chapter, the
work of Formation, we can safely
80 through the Bible.
But some may ask. "Was not
the writing Of Moses tradition
handed down to him by his fore
fathera3" We answer no; fer God q
Word does not teach US that the
writing OF Moses was a tradition
handed down to him from his fore
fathers. God talked with Moses
face to face, and Moses was with
God forty days and forty nights
upon tho Mount, and he received
his laws and the laws for the Is.
raelits from God. God also gave
him an account ofbis work Of Gre.
alton and Formation. All this Mo-
ses received from God. The idea
that the writings Of Moses was a
tradition handed down TO him. is
all false. The Bible does not teach
such doctrine. The writings Of
Moses are Just as God command led
they should be, but as vs have
sail before, the first chapter OF
