Carving
the Christmas
Turkey

To carve the Christmas turkey skill
fully and successfully requires a
knowledge more than that acquired by
general observation. To the amateur
carver as he watches the practiced
hand it seems the simplest thing in
the world, but when he attempts to
duplicate the feat he soon discovers
that careful study of the birds an
atomy is necessary.
At the Christmas dinner the turkey

handling o. the fowl means much

he wants to see you dreadfully."
Jacks uncle? Annabel felt bewil-

ready with a sigh, feeling quite sure
that Juanita was mistaken and that it
was only book agent making most
untimely visit. Who else ever called
upon her?
The caller stood by the parlor door
as if he could hardly wait for her COM
ing, and, curiously enough he held in
his hands-Of all the ridiculous things

The Spirit of
Christmas
By DIR. WORTH VI. TZPPY

Of all the years festival days, Christ
mas is peculiarly the festival of love.
Easter commentaries the resurrection
of Jesus. II 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.
1t comes with peculiar appropriate
ness at the season of the year when
mature is awakening to spring and
everywhere are warm winds, sunshine,
growth and beauty.
Thanksgiving is our festival of Di-
vine Providence, celebrating the low
ing care of God over all that He has
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 benef1-
.cence, the gratitude and appreciation
of our hearts.
But Christmas is the climax of the
Christian year. 1t is our festival of
love. and as such is 1t not beautifully
fitting that the day should be cele-
brated by the bestowment of gifts?
It Is as natural for love to give as for
birds To sing and for flowers to grow.
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit
uf giving. This spirit takes hold upon
all classes of people. carrying into
every soul the sweetness and purity of
loves ministry. Ii layishes gifts in
homes of wealth and It finds a way in
the direst poverty.
Christmas was the day when God
gave His richest gift to men-Jesus
the Christ and that marvellous git of
the ages has proved the inspiration
of the day and given birth to the
spirit of giving among men. And for
this reason let us give remembrance
10 just as many people as we can al,

homes. to our friends and to the poor

An Old Maid S
Christmas
By BERTHA E. BUSH

ing her speech, won't you please tie
up my Christmas packages for me-?

Aunt Annabel assented with a little
5i3h, for her hands were already full
of Christmas errands for the family.
Juanita did not notice the sigh. Her
laughing eyes were filled with the
vision of the boy whom she knew to
ha waiting just around the corner,
ready to carry those skates and buckle
up the straps. But her girl companion,
less absorbed, did notice it.
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 am

Aunt Annabel heard the careless
words and the little wrinkles on her
forehead deepened with pain. IAN old

every man might take heart in the
struggle and have 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 row that it
was a mistake. The most inexorable
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 op-
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 comradeship is not beautiful

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

one race and men of all races. The
powerful need the sympathy and rec

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 Chris
and OF Christmas. Let us give Gifts.
and among them that larger gift OF
loving service. Thus will the spirit
of Christmas be shed abroad and make
the world brighter and better.

GAS WRECKS BUILDING.
The Front of a Kansas Newspaper
Office Blown Out,

While Barney J.. Sheridan, of Pa.
ola, Kan, was in Roswell the first
of this week, his newspaper Office
was partially wrecked by an explo-
sion of natural gas. He received no
word of the disaster before leaving
here yesterday for home. The Rec
ord clips the following account of
the accident from the Kansas City
Times:
"Paola, Kan, Dec. IL Seven per.
son at work in the Western Spirit
office narrowly escaped death by an
explosion of natural gas at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. The entire front of
the office. a new one story brick
building, % feet wide and lis feet
long, was blown out and the back
wall may fall at any moment. Both
the east and west walls were pushed
out two inches. The gas escaped
from a tank in the engine room, but
it is not known how it was ignited.
The force of the explosion seemed
to be above the heads of those at
work. The explosion was heard all
over town. Neither the editor, B. J.
Sheridan, nor his son, the manager,
was in the Offices in the front part
Of the building"
