the deep JOY underlying it all of giving
to those in need. One stocking, knit by
an old lady when she was little girl for
her doll, was filled with silver coin.
The school contributed an express
wagon load of provisions, fruit, nuts and
candy, toys, and dolls, and clothing, be-
sides nearly $40 in money, and that by
school of only 300, majority of whom
came from homes Of working people.
Another year this same school adopted
20 to 30 orphans from a neighboring in
stitution. Each class had particular
boy or girl who was present at the en-
tertainment and was right royalty en-
tertained by the class and then sent
back to the institute laden with various
bundles of wearing apparel and toys.
The individual need of each adopted
orphan was intelligently consulted
through the matron of the institution
and those things for which it had spe-
cial need provided. 1t was the happiest,
busiest Christmas which | ever saw
school spend. And no school should
miss the blessedness which comes from
giving. In all of the Lords work.
WAeJner IL is ChrlsIHltS, Easter, CAlI-
dren's day, picnic, scholars social, or
what not, there is need of prayer in
planning and planning in prayer; there
is need of purpose and method and in
genuity and underlying it all there
should be the earnest desire to give true
expression to the spirit and purpose of
the day, and in all that is done to honor
Him in Whose name the celebration is
held.

VIII tire of 1t. Another game that is
less noisy is blindman's wand. in
which the parties playing form a circle
about the one who is blindfolded. The
blindfOlded one has a cane or small
stick, and after the others have circled
about him to the accompaniment of
any well known song, he points his
wand at one in the circle and initiates
the noise made by some animal The
one pointed to must repeat the noise,
disgusting his voice so that he may
not be known. Three times may the
test be repeated, initiating a different
animal each time. If at the end of the
three tests the blindfolded one is still
undecided as to who he is pointing to
he may run his wand over him ana
find out in that way, if possible If he
guesses who it is places are exchanged

FOUND BURGLARS IN DWELLING
Citizen Returns Home and Prevents
Robbery.

The 'gentlemanly burglar" is doing
some business in Americus just now,
and unless successfully vaccinated with
buckshot will continue to get in his
work. Out in the southern portion of
of the city night or two ago physi-
clan returned home just as two thieves
crawled in at the dining-room window.
He hurriedly secured his pistol and
went after the porch climb ers. Unfor-
tunstely, the pistol was unloaded and
the thieves escaped, though the two
men were plainly seen in the dim light
of the hall. During the warm season
here citizens leave.theIr windows open,
but due caution should be taken
az ainst these midnight providers.
Shoot the first one seen upon your
premises, aud shoot to kill. One or
two burglar funerals will deter others
of the same stripe.
