EDUCATION AS AN INVESTMENT.
New York Mother Somewhat SkeptL

That is what a loving but m
times cynical New York mother is
asking. I'VE have at last completed
the education OF our son and heir"
she says. HE has been graduated
with sufficient honors from college;
he has been sent abroad for finish,
culture and experience, and now that
he is home again We are starting him
in business life. He has begun in a
downtown office and may be gaining
much experience and laying a sound
business foundation, but as far as I
can find out he spends the greater
part Of his time in licking postage
stamps for a pittance a week. While
the pride Of the family is doing thi.
we are paying our chef 500 a month
and expenses, and now I ask. Does
education pay?"

The Spirit of
Christmas
BY DIR. r ". TZPPY

OF all the years festival days, Christ
mas is peculiarly the festival of love.
Easter commentaries the resurrection
Of Jesus. 1t is our festival of life,
divine and immortal; for the power
that raised Christ from the dead has
passed into the lives Of the millions
It comes with peculiar appropriate
ness at the season Of the year when
nature is awakening to spring and
everywhere are warm winds, sunshine,
growth and beauty.
Thanksgiving is our festival OF d.
vine Providence, celebrating the low
ing care of God over all that He mas
made, 1t comes at the time when, IN
agricultural communities, the earth's
fruitage has been garnered and the
years work draws to a close. 1t is a
good time in all pursuits to close the
books with God, and to bring to Him
the only possible return for His bench
cence, the gratitude and appreciation
Of our hearts.
But Christmas Is the climax OF the
Christian year. 1t is u festival Oh
love, and as such is it not beautifully
fitting that the day should be cele-
brated by the bestowment OF gifts!
1t is as natural for love to give as for
birds to sing and for flowers to grow
The spirit OF Christmas Is the spirit
of giving. This spirit takes hold upon
all classes of people, carrying into
every soul the sweetness and purity OF
loves ministry. 1t lavishes gifts In
homes Of wealth and 1t finds o way ID
the direst poverty.
Christmas was the day when GOO
gave His richest gift to men-Jesus
the Christ-and that marvellous gilt oil
the ages has proved the inspiration
of the day and given birth to the
spirit Of giving among men. Ana for
this reason let us give remembrance
to Just as many people as we can al
ford to give, to those OF our own
homes, to our friends and TO the poor
It doesn't need to be much, SO that
1t Is a token Of friendship. Remember
particularly the lives that are cast IN
hard places. Lift a mortgage, pay a
debt. send q check to the brave wom-
an who is fighting for her children.
Bring the young man or young woman
who is away from home to your own
Preside. Send a Christmas dinner
where you are sure there would be a
scanty one IL you did not send 1t.
The spirit Of Christmas Is love ex-
pressing itself in service. The love
Of God found Its expression in the gift
Of a Saviour to the world. The love Of
Christ found its expression in the gift
Of a life Of pure and unselish service
to mankind. He gave Himself to the
closest association with men SO thai

An Old Maids
Christmas
By BERTHA E. BUSH

"Aunt Annabel," said Juanita, with
a merry jingling OF skates accompany
ing her speech, won't you please tie
up my Christmas packages for me?
You know where they CO."
Aunt Annabel assented with a little
sigh, for her hands were already full
of Christmas errands for the family.
Juaaita did not notice the sigh. Her
laughing eyes were filled with the
vision of the boy whom she knew to
be waiting just around thu corner,
ready to carry those skates and buckle
up the straps. But Der girl companion,
less absorbed. did notice 1t.
Il don't believe you ought to have
asked her to do that, Nita. Every
body is so busy at Christmas"
"Oh, Aunt Annabel is always busy.
But she isn't any buster at Christmas
than at any other time. What does an
old maids Christmas amount to-"
Aunt Annabel heard the careless
words and tina little wrinkles or her
forehead deepe ned with pain. IAN old
maids Christmas" The red mounted
slowly to her Tim cheeks. 1t was not
he quick blushing of girlhood which
is deemed so beautiful, but a burning
painful flushing that seemed to leave
her wan face more hollow and whittier
than before.

every man might take heart in the
struggle and have a reasonable hope
of being able to live likewise.
This gift of service is the best gift
which can be given to the world. And
this gift Is within the reach Of every
body. There is no Excuse for those
who do not make it. None are too
busy to be friendly and none too great
to stoop to little kindnesses. | once
thought there were natures that could
not be cordial, but | know now that it
was a mistake. The most memorable
duty men ever have is to love and to
render services of love. 1t was one of
the last teachings Of Jesus that we will
be judged at last by our attitude in
practical service to the sick, the OPP
pressed. the stranger and to those who
lack the plainest necessities of food
and clothing.
But this spirit of Christmas which
is to find its expression in the gift OF
loving service is not the spirit Of mere
benevolence. Kindness that is not in
spired by c~omradeship is not beautiful
at all. 1t may be pity from a proud
heart, but that is not friendship, and
it is not the deep ~brotherly love OF
Christianity. Men needs friends more
than they need aims. We all need
each others friendships. We are in.
separately bound together as men OF
one race and men Of all races. The
powerful need the sympathy and rec
ignition of the humble, the rich OF the
poor, and the cultured of the unrefined,
and for this reason the life which finds
its expression in unaffected and uni
versal friendship is the life which has
most nearly caught the spirit of Christ
and of Christmas. Let us give gifts,
and among them that larger gift oil
loving service. Thus will the spirit
of Christmas be shed abroad and make
tbe world brighter and better.

as young as Juanita. When she was
as young as Juanita--oh, much young
ar--John Warren had said: "Annabel
is my little wife, and VIZ are going to
be married next Christmas" How far
away the next Christmas had seemed
then-farther than the next century
now!
The years slipped before her eyes
like a dream. There had been other
lovers, but none SO dear as this little
John Of her childish years. How de-
voted they had been to each other,
and how constant through all their
boy and girl ups and downs! The eld-
ers had smiled at their frank affection
and half believed that what John said
would come TO pass at some future
Christmas. She and John had wholly
believed it. She remembered how they
played together. how he drew her on
his sled, how he always chose her first
at spelling matches, although she was
not a good speller, and John was one
of the best. She remembered their
uuarrels. An! The last time she had
ever seen him they had quarreled.
It was about a pair OF stubby red
mittens that she had knit with skillful
girlish fingers. She had meant them
for his Christmas present, but he had
found 1T out beforehand, and, boy.
fashion, had teased her about them.
"Ill never give them to you now"
she had declared angrily. And then
her John, little true lover as he was,
had melted.

had begged. "You know ! would give

them to perform the operation, The
doctors s~teadfastly refused, being firm
IN the conviction that the man was
deliberately seeking cause for dam
ages, saws the FL Paso Herald,
The physicians agreed that amputa-
ton was unnecessary and that the
most extreme measures necessary
would not extend above the affected
heel.
"Cut off my leg" he Insisted, g"
tell you 1t Is the only thing 10 do"
While he was arguing his case. he
casually remarked that he carried q
$4,000 accident insurance policy.
The doctors glanced significantly at
each other, and proceeded to question
him farther. He had been treated In
a hospital In another city for the In
jury to his heel. Skin grating had
been resorted to, but without success.
The company had made a settlement
for the injury, an agreement having
been made that II amputation became
necessary, the railroad would bear the
expense OF the amputation.
When the doctors had convinced
themselves not only that the opera
ton was unnecessary. but that the
man was attempting to barter his leg
for damages that would total a good
round sum. they Indignantly sent the
man upon his way and then proceeded
to estimate the probable .result of am
putating the leg, provided, of course.
that their theory regarding his pur-
pose was correct.

Foreman Hurt.

John Purcell, switchman foreman Of
the Santa Fe at Trinidad, Colo, was
quite seriously injured Saturday
morning In the Santa Fee railroad
yards here, says the Chronicle-News.
He was hanging on the end OF a
freight car with his body extended out
from the car while the train was back
ing into the yards. He was looking
toward the engine in the opposite di,
rection from the way the train was
moving. Suddenly and without warn
ing his body struck a switch adjoin-
ing the track and he was thrown to
the ground. He was picked up and
taken to his home In a wagon, being
unable to walk, and will probably be
confined to his bed for sometime, al
though the doctor does not believe
that any evil effects will result from
the accident.
