CHRISTMAS JOYS.

The holiday or Holy day season
is the happiest event Of the year.
Hence it is usual to call ii Merry
Christmas. 1t marks the highest
and most joyous occasion i'll the
calendar During the preceding
twelve months the hearts and minds
of busy people have been burdened
with business responsibilities and
care, but at the Christmas tide the
burdened hearts are loosened, cares
are relaxed and the pent up spirit
leaps forth into spontaneous reJolc-
ing. To make the children happy
ought to be the first concern and
chief delight of all. Big children,
little children. orphans, bachelors,
old maids, grandmas and every
body ought to have the privilege of
sharing in the Christmas joys. 1t
should be the glad event of the
year as it represents Il significant
occasion, Heaven S best gift to
earth " Without which there
would be few things to make glad
the hearts Of the weary. School
boys and girls, teachers. servants
and laborers ought to turn aside
from dull routine and crowd into
the Christmas tide many happy
hours of mirth and pleasure. OF
course Christmas eve, or the days
previous prepares the way for our
Christmas Joys as at this time our
heads and pocket-books are strained
TO get presents for loved ones at
home or abroad. When we know
that they are happy we cannot
easily restrain the emotion that
arises i'll our own souls. None are
too poor to give something. 1t is
not what you give, but the spirit in
which you give it that determines
the result. Let every one resolve
to be happy by making others so.

Pad for Fountain Pen.

business woman who finds it nee
essary TO carry a fountain pen wraps
It in a piece of chamois and thereby
saves her handkerchiefs and other
feminine effects from many an ink
stain. However. the chamois soon be-
comes saturated with ink, stiff and un-
pleasant and must be renewed often.
A better case can be made of inch
wide ribbon lined with stockinette
rubber cloth and packed with bit of
absorbent cotton at the leaky end of
the pen. This will keep the pen al
ways dry to the fingers, as the cot
ton can be changed without trouble
and the case itself need never be
soiled.
If you have male friend who is ad-
dicted to the fountain pen habit, you
can endear yourself to him by present
ing him with such case, and thus
saving his short ribs from many al
inky bath whenever he happens to put
the pen upside down In his waistcoar

HARD 20 PHOTOGRAPH DEAF
Their Id:irmity Gives Them a Hard.
Fixed Expression.


"That isn't a good picture" said tbe
photographer, with an air of apology
The man was deaf"
How can that infirmity affect the
picture?" asked visitor.
1T gives his face a tense. strained
look" said the photographer. "All
deaf persons have that expression
when placed before camera. They
sit with their heads tilted forward and
eyebrows uplifted, as if waiting for the
command to look pleasant Generally,
l suppose, that is what they are wait
ing for. But even after have given
the order to brace, their muscles re-
fuse to relax.
What's that?" says the deaf man
when he sees my lips move
Look pleasant l shout again.

He takes his hand from behind his
ear and tries to assume beaming
countenance, but he only compromises
on fixed glare. None of the devices
known to the Photographic trade can
dispel that. In fact, the more 'busi-

listening always for further instruc-
tions. Whether they come or not. the

Our Earliest Preacher Dead

Mr.. Mark Wright tells us of the death
of Elder George Scott which occurred at
McCook, Neb. on Oct 26th. Elder Scott
was one of the saints of this earth. He
was ripe in years, he knew we'll the trials
and tribulations of this life, but he knew
that he had heritage in Heaven and we
believe he went to meet his Maker with a
glad heart. Mr.. Scott was one of the
pioneer preachers of Denison. With his own
hancs he helped to build the first Baptist
church Denison had. Many will remem-
Der the kindly old man who visited Deni-
son only last year and who had such words
of cheer and comfort and hopefulness for
all. Mr.. Scott was brother.in.law of
Mrs. Mark Wright of this city, and to her
and to the members of the family we
would extend our sincere sympathy.
