THOUGHTS ON CHRISTMAS GIVING
GIFTS TO POOR, SICK and NEEDY
The True Christmas Spirit Is The One Which Carries Happiness
And Joy Where There Is Misery and Sorrow Persons
Who Do This Are DoubIy Blessed Themselves

SO long as they are comfortable them
selves; many who w%ilfully and delib-
e%rately shut their eyes to sorrow and
misery and make no effort to alleviate
it. If Christmas this year would come
to such as it did to Scrooge, how much
more happiness there would be in
this world,
The needy are those who most re-
quire gifts. There is little pleasure
to be given IA person who has every
thing by the bestowal Of another gift
it is those who have nothing that
can properly appreciate. There are
in the world today thousands upon
thousands to whom Christmas is the
saddest time of the year, because it
forces in upon them more roughly
and strongly than ever the fact of
their poverty. They witness a re-
joicing in which they have no share,
We have in Tulsa this Christmas
many such. Can we do anything to
make the blessed, holy day any bright
er for them? If we can and do we
shall ourselves enjoy the most de-
lightful eason in cur experience.
Our stores are full Of good things
and lovely things and little pinched
faces longingly survey them from the
outside. Our people are buying and
carrying home large and small pack
ages containing gifts to gladden. the
hearts and surprise their loved ones,
but there are many to whom Christ
mas morning brings nothing but added
misery. Our tables will. groan with
good things, but how many there II
be who are hungry. Can we, will
we, widen our sphere Of giving and
make those glad in Tulsa who know
no JOY, whose'lives are spent i'll the
shadow?
Don't stop to question, to inquire
whether the ease is a worthy II or
not. All children are worthy; they
are Christ's little ones, no matter
what their surroundings, and in bring
ing joy to them you can make no ms
take. Remember the sick and the al
flicted while YOU are strong ana DO
ing well. Remember those who have
been bereft during the year, whose
loved ones are spending their first
Christmas in heaven, and you can take
the word of the best men and women
who have ever lived that you, your
selves. will have the grandest, most
joyful Christmas you have ever ex-
perienced.
Try it. 1t is worth while.

ne spirit OF NnrlSlHlaS Is aDToau
in the land, permeating everything
and everybody with its influences, and
infusing new thoughts, new ideas,
new resolves and new purposes into
men and women who at every other
period during the year find it impos-
sible to raise themselves above the
practical, everyday concerns of life.
The words ''Christmas," and ''giv-
ing are synonymous, for at this sea-
son everybody Is possessed with the
one single intention of making some
body happy with a gift. 1t is a beau
tiful thought that the very first
Christmas witnessed the birth of a
babe in far-off Bethlehem, given to
the world to redeem it and purify it
and make it holy. Gods great gift
to man has made the world supreme
ly happy and made it possible for
each n of us to carry happiness into
some home, some heart.
How the angels watched on the
morning of that first glorious Christ
mas. and how they lowered over the
mean resting place of the Infant as
He lay sleeping among the cattle in
the stable! 1t was a holy day,
fraught with blessings to mankind.
The word has come down to us only
that we call it "holiday," and are
too apt to forget the %sacredness that
belongs to it. Whether we intend
TO or not we celebrate the greatest oc-
c%asion, save one, the world has ever
witnessed-that one the day on which
the babe, grown into manhood, per-
fects the work. for which he was Civ
en-. and dies a cruel and shameful
death.
Mems hearts are opened at Christ
mas time. The spirit Of the Bethlehem
babe is with us and we rise above the
sordid. soul closing affairs of the
world and find a happiness III blessing
others. at is more blessed to give
than to receive" will be experienced
this Christmas by the great majority
living as it has been experienced for
the past eighteen hundred years.
There are two or three things which
greatly enhance the value of a gift.
and they should be borne in mind in
order that the giver and the recipient
obtain the greatest good. 1t is not
always the intrinsic value of a gift
which most highly commends it. We
heard a preacher in a Tulsa church
say last Sunday morning that the
gift that had been the most talked
about for eighteen centuries past was
the widows mite. 1t was the spir-
it which prompted the giving OF the
mite that made the gift famous.
Therefore. the first consideration
is the spirit which prompts the gift.
The second is the kind-natire or
quality-of Gift. and the thlrd Is
the person WI" is to receive it. If
we weigh these considerations care
fully and profit by so doing. we will
receive more satisfaction from our
giving this Christmas than some OF
us. probably, have done in the past.
Charles Dickens. more than any
other writer. has shown the secret
of Christmas happiness. His mimi
table stories will remain classics for
many generations because they come

the valor of a few brave men-a very

doubt have read and are fully advised
as to the horrors of the siege of the
Alamo by the Mexican army, under the
command of Santa Anna, where the
whole garrison was slaughtered; where
fell the heroic David Crockett and the
whole of his devoted band of patriots
in their struggle to free Texas from the
tyranny of despotic dictator, and none
escaped to tell the story of their heroic
death. ''Thermopyle hadits messenger
of death, the Alamo had nonel" The
names of all those brave men, who gave
up their lives so heroically. should be
preserved in the archives of the State,
if it has not already been done, that
future generations yet to come may
learn to know and revere them. 1 will
not tresspass upon your time now to

Every Claim Made For
Doan's Kidney Pills
in Wausau.

Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
baekache sufferer; but to cure lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it:
Mrs. Albert Mohr, of 612 Jackson St.,
Wausau, Wis, says: After my hus-
band had suffered for twelve months
with backache he used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Albers' drug store
and found cure that has proved per-
manent. Up to that time every cold he
tooki and every exertion that brought
a strain on the muscles of his back was
sure to cause an attack of backache.

ney Pills and since then he has had nc

of the military display in their great

military tactics. The New York Ameri-

centipede, whose celerety and precision
have astonished the military world. !"
Their wall-scaling exploits and dashing,
deXterous military evolutions have
brought them distinguished fame in
every country of the world. The men

their clock-like manual movements,
