'iThere is a small town in Kansas

tourist, land the lady's duties are
many. One day she may visit the sick,
another attend a funeral and the next
baptize q baby. One afternoon she
was preparing the sermon for the
following Sunday when she heard a
timid knock at the door, Answering
the summons, she found bashful
Young German standing on the step
and twirling his hat in his hands.
"'Good afternoon the lady re-
marked, what do you wish?'
'Dey say der minister lifed in dis

"'Yes, SIR
"'Yess! Veil, l want me to kit

"'All right, l can marry you,' she
said.
"The lady's hair is beginning to
silver, and the German glanced at it.
Then he rammed his hat on his head
and hurried down the path.

CHRISTMAS.

We are again nearing the gla d
Christmas time. Already the
Christian world has put on its holi.
day attire! The giving and re-
ceiving of gifts will reach greater
proportions this year than ever.
This is the time of year when all
are touched with feeling of char
ity that will loose the tightest purse
strings. The miser will throw a
nickel to the'beggar and the hermit
gives his dog an extra bone.
! It is not the giving and receiving
of gifts that shows the onward
march Of civilization, bnt it is the
good will" that is demonstrated
through THE giving ofagifts. Ever
since the shepherds heard the
Angelic song, "Peace on earth,
good will toward men," this peace
and good will has been growing and
spreading Since the advent of
the Prince of Peace the world has
heen striving to attain this peace.
The progress has been SLOW, and at
many times the effort Was invisible
and it seemed that war aid hate
were dominating. Atthe present
time the reports of the awful car
mage taking place at the seat of war
inthe far East. almost leads one to
believe that the day of universal
peace is in the far distant future.
Since last we celebrated the
Christmas holiday our planet has
carried us once around the sun, a
distance of FIVE hundred million
miles, holding Us constantly within
its radiant light. So, during the
past twenty centuries mankind has
been kept within the 6eart-searching
light Of the Son of God. It is this
Light that creates good will within
the hearts Of men and will EVENLY
bring universal peace to the world.

The conhagration il still spreading.
The very heart Of the city has been
eaten out by flames which have ragged
furioDsly for hours. One building after
another has fallen, until whole blocks are
are now but smoldering debris.
Shifting winds carried the fire in one
direction and another. Buildings which
earlier in the day were regarded as safely
out OF harms way, later fell under the
destroying elements, and eat an early hour
this morning so widespread Is the loss
that its magnitude can be Appropriated
in only the vagHest manner.
Dynamite was resorted to in an effort
to check the avalanche of fire, and seye-
raj costly structures were razed, but with
little effect Ii is feared that portions OF
the residence section are doomed. The
militia has been called out and placed on
guard in the devastated area.
An aggregate estimate of $25, 000, 900
property loss late in the day-then re-
garded as extravagantly highs now
known TO be far below the actual dam
are. Probably $50, 200, or even
So. 200, 900, may be nearer the truth
when the actual figures are reached.
Rumors regarding the loss OF life have
not been verified. At o'clock last night
Commissioner Mcfarland had assurance
that none of the Washington firemen bad
been injured.
At 4.30 in the afternoon, when The
Posts extra edition was issued, IL was
understood-the press bulletin so stating
that the fire was under control, but la
ter the flames burst out afresh in differ
ent quarters, and with greater fury than
before Renewed calls for aid came from
Mayor McLane, and two more fire COM
