CHRISTMAS.

10 a.people reared III q OnrlS- tian land, who are prone to ac- cept without study those observ- ances which meet with the ap- proval of their minds and hearts, it is often well to call for a retro spection upon these customs to determine their origin and aims, and how well they have been held intact by successive genera tions.
 Christmas, the commemoration of the Savior's nativity, tells it's derivation in it's component syl- fables. Christ, from the Greek word for savior, and mass, ob- served by the early Catholic church as a part of the celebra- tion of the advent of the Son of Man upon earth. As early as the second century the followers of the Child Jesus observed the commemoration of the birth in the mangqr, but it was not until the fourth century that Pope Ju- Han fixed the date as Dec. -25th, and this day is thought to have been chosen from the fact that the ancients regarded the winter solstice as the most important period of the year, the beginning of life in all nature, and not be- because historical or biblical data confirms the date selected.
 The desire of the church to lproselyte the barbarians of the north had not then contaminated with heather practices the puri- ty of the festiyity. The glamour of ceremony, the acceptance of feast and fast days that had no part in their religion, but made more compatible the new faithto traditions of Goths and Huns, had not then influenced the ob- servance of this festivity. In mass was the nativity commem- orated; in good will and cheer was the spirit of the day pro- claimed.
 No matter to what distortion and corruption the Dark Ages carried this festive day, it has come forth in this enlightened age full of the meaning 1t once bore. Not only as a religious, but as a social event, it breaches the gos- pei of love. To the Christian church it tells the story of the coming of the Savior, but to all the world it has come to signify a day of rejoicing, when the kin ship of man is seen in sweet charity.
 Christmas such are it's asso- citations from early childhood that its magic name seems hallowed. It lives in the sunshine of happi- ness, drives away the clouds of sorrow and trouble and showers peace and good will upon un- numbered millions who cherish it's name and meaning.
 Most popular holiday the calen- dar holds in store, most signif- cant commemoration that man observes, most blessed event that each year marks our lives, its mirth encircles both "him that gives and him that takes, :" drawing each closer in a bond of love, the brotherhood of man. It's spirit reaches into the> heart, calloused in self by business cares and hurry, and the kind- ness that it calls forth causes many an unfortunate to forget fE

Our Lecture Course.

For the long winter evenings to come
the business men. Of Custer have arrang-
ed for course of entertainments con-
sisting of six numbers.
These attractions are furnished by the
Midland Lyceum Bureau of Des Moines,
Ia, and with them comes positive
guarantee of satisfaction. They do not
claim that every attraction will please
fevery body and sometimes the best Of
attractions will fail, but it is their posit-
i've agreement TO make right what is
wrong. They say they are in the busi-
ness to please and satisfy and if they do
not they should get cut Of the business.
If any season ticket holder is dissatsfi-
ed with the course as whole they re.
fund money without quibblIng. If any
attraction fails absolutely, new attrac-
ton is sent free, and if any attraction
does no give general satisfaction any
kick" will be promptly and carefully
settled.
These statements are not made to in.
Yite kicking or induce people to plan to
get free tickets, but is done to reassure
those that would gladly buy were they
not afraid to do SO. AS long as it is
case of being pleased or money back it
should appeal to everyone of our people,
and the price oftickets, only two dollars
is certainly reasonable enough. AL
ready a number of tickets have been
sold. Remember no profits go into any
private pockets, but one half above the
guarantee goes to our school. We urge
that all parties who can afford to buy
one or more tickets should do so at once
in order that the amount of the guar
antee may be raised. Please do not
wait but attend to this at once. 1t costs
little and if not satisfactory it costs
nothing.

Suggestions to Voters on Capital Re-

Pierre Capital-Journal says The
man who was an early settler in aay
county or township in the state did all
in his power to prevent the settlement
of that county and township, and pre-
vented the land passing from the gov
ernment into the hands Of settlers, with
ar idea that by such action he could re-
duce his taxes, should cast his vote
ayes" on the capital removal PROPOSE
ton, for that IS the position which is
taken by Mitchell today in regard to the
whole state.
Tho man who believes that it will
help to reduce his taxes by advertising
to the world that all that portion of
South Dakota, in which the state en-
dowment lands, and most of the COM
mon school lar DIS are situated is worth
less and will never be worth anything,
should vote Eyes" for that is the meth
cd of campaign being carried on by
Mitchell.
The man who believes that the inter
ests of Mitchell are greater to him than
are his own interests and those OF the
state should vote Yes" and back such
belief.
But the man who believes that he
helped to reduce the taxes in his town
ship and county by securing settlement,
and bringing all land under taxation,
should vote "No", to be consistent
with his belief, as the affairs of the
state are Just as vital to him as his local
affairs.
| The man who believes that the build
ing up of the state endowment lands
will increase their revenues and
| help to lower his taxes should vote
"No" to be consistent with his be-
| lief
| The man who believes that his owr
| interests and the interests of South Da
kota are greater than those Of Mitchell
should vote No, to be consistent with
his belief
The capital matter is not question

has made it question between Mitchell
