DUTY OF SANTA CLAUS BRINGS
HOPE TO THE DISCONSOLATE

The duties of Santa Claus are not
confined to the filling of children's g
stockings. Where women have fallen
he gives words of cheer and extends
a helping hand. Where hope is dead
within the breasts of men he revives
it. Where Gods creatures are naked
he provides clothes; where they are
disconsolate he gives encouragement.
And whenever in the horizon of life
there is not to be seen a single star,
he touches the situation with his ma
gic wand and, 10 and behold, in that
same horizon there is not to be found
a single cloud.
In the life of the adult he is a
strong and permanent force, according
to the alacrity with which men turn
from the shadows to the sunbeams,
and the earnestness with which they
cultivate those habits of thought that
lead men upward and onward.
In the life of the child-ah, that is
where the good old saint is at his best!
There he is at his best not only for
the happiness he brings to the little
ones, but because that happiness is of
the contagious kind and results in the
distribution of blessings and sunshine
and in the cultivation of love and Joy
and opum.sm-even sometimes among
eminently practical men and women
who, mingling with the little ones
as they empty their stockings on
Christmas morning may learn that ut
is not. ..all of life to live, nor all of
death TO die."-New York Press.

Town meeting Tuesday developed some
of the breeziness and heated discussion

benefactors the town has ever known or

ever been made. The least that one can
do in return for kindness or favor is to
