What Man Does Not Want.

Woman has cause to be grateful for
the publication of a volume dealing
with feminine logic, for it forms, per.
haps, the first tangible recognition
that such a quality exists in the mind
of the sex. But she is not thereby to
be flattered into the belief that it will
raise her intellectual status in mascu-
line estimation. Man does not want
the logical woman; as a logician he is
too often conscious that che is the only
safe receptacle of his wisdom, and.
when he informs her that his argu-
ments are Sound logic" he expects.
and always will expect, her to believe
him.-Lady's Pictorial.

Odd Recurrence of Diqits.

"The most remarkable arrangement
of numbers that | know Of" said a
local business college man who takes
a delight in solving curious problems
and digging up mathematical oddities,
is the combination of the six figures
of 142,857. Multiply this number by
2 and the answer is 5,714, by and
the answer is 428,571, by and the an
swer is 571 ,428, by and the answer
is 714,285, by and the answer is
857,142. Each answer contains ex-
actly the same digits as the original
sum, and, to cap the climax, multi
ply the number by and up comes the
answer 999,999."

Nicknames of Presidents,

A number of Grants nicknames
arose from his initials. Unconditional
Surrender probably attained the wild
est popularity. The press of his day
manufactured not a few U. S. sobri-
quets, like Unprecedented Strategist,
Undaunted Stalwart, and so on. The
soldiers called him Old Three Stars,
and he was also styled Hero of Apo.
nlattox Garfield did not, of course,
become the Martyr President until
after his tragic death. He was also
styled the Preacher President, from
his early calling.

TWO in One Winter.

C. E. Emerson, of Fitzwilliam,

two physicians said he could not

taking Foley's Honey and Tar,
which brought him out all right.
He writes that he surely thinks

Failures and Successes.

Men have two kinds Of ambition
one for dollar-making, the other for
life-making. Some turn all their abil-
ity, education. health and energy
toward the first of these-dollar-
making and call the result success.
Others turn them toward the second
into character, usefulness, helpful
ss-life-making- the world
sometimes calls them failures; but
history calls them successes. No
price is too great to pay for an unfair
nished name.-O. S. Marden in Sue

The Train Flew.

An ole patriarch and his wife from
the hills of Indian Territory were rid
ing on railroad train in the Choctaw
Nation for the first time in their lives
They were very much interested in
the scenery and the novelty of their
experience when the train suddenly
ran upon loag trestle. Looking out
of the window, the old people saw the
ground recede from beneath them
and they held their breath in abject
terror. When the train finally
reached the dirt roadbed again the old
woman looked at her husband with
a sigh of relief and said THANK the
Lord, Silas, we've lit!"-Kansas City

A ProvidentiaI Fire.

Here is new view of proVidential
interference in the affairs of this
world:
'sOur neighbor. Abe Ingles, had six
mortgages on his house and barn, and,
as he couldn't pay up. his creditors de-
cided to foreclose him; but just before
the bailiff arrived with papers a prov
idential fire broke out in the kitchen,
and the house was burned to the
ground. Then the bailiff, fastening
to the scene, fell into a storm pit and
broke his good leg and lost his wood

1t is on record that the pastor of
the only Catholic church in small
town in Eastern Massachusetts was
obliged to raise some money for re-
pairing the church. Finding that his
appeals met with little response, he
decided to make a tour of the parish
and solicit contributions. The local
Mrs. Darlington saw him approach
the house, and, going to the door, she
greeted the astonished gentleman
with: "Come right in. revenue father"

GORKY A TR0UBLE-MAKER
just Now His Presence in Italy Is
Giving That Country's Gov
eminent Concern.

New York. Dec. IA Rome cable
dispatch published here says the so
cialist and radical papers attack the
government because, according to their
view, it has decided to compel Maxim
GOrky, the Russian writer, to leave
Italy. GOrky has been living quietly
at Capri He was to have gone to Ma
pues for the first performances of his
drama children of the SUM-" which
has been played over 100 times at st.
Petersburg.
To be just. the dispatch adds. it
must be said that the government is
embarrassed; as the Neapolitan popu-
lation is yer vegetable. A REPETITION of
the disorders of several weeks ago,
when GOrky spoke at a meeting GER
tainly would have displeased Russia,
and that country is negotiating a COM
mercial treaty with Italy.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

=

w hat is the spirit of Christmas
Is it the generous spirit, the spirit
of giving? Yes, but that is not all.
There will be millions of gifts made
between now and the new year,
and they will not all express the
Christmas spirit. Some will be
made out of pockets of plenty and
thus entail no personal service;
some will be made under cOmpul-
sion of supposed necessity. How
many give things at this time be-
cause they think they must. They
must give to those who they hope
or fear will give to them. 1t is al
most unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such a feature
of our Christmas celebration be-
cause the mere gift is incapable OF
expressing the spirit of this occa-
sion, and the occasion itself has be-
come a burden to many because 1t
has been so much abused. 1t is not
by giving invisibly that we honor
Christ, whose birth we celebrate,
but by sharing unselfishly every
GOOD thing we possess.
THIS rrts the best things OF Christ
mas ! in reach of every human
life and enables every human being
however poor in goods to give gen
erously whatever else he has. We
all hav much. Is money denied us,
then let ms give what is better, a
word to cheer, smile to awaken
iov. something out of our hearts
treasure. Who would not rather get
= cordial message from friend that
would express his thought and
appreciation, than TO get dollar
trinket! What heresy to think we
cannot express an unselfish love at
Christmas time except by lavish use
of money. The spirit of christmas
is the spirit of Christ He came on
4 giving mission but the gift was

Himself-His life! Silver and gold
had He none to give, but He gave
health TO the deceased, sight to the
blind, hope to the despalring and
salvation TO all who will accept it..
He proved His unselfish love not
only by giving but by sharing, b.,
undergoing, not only for us but
with us, all our griefs and tempta-
tons. Would we honor Christmas
and enjoy it, we must not only give
but give wisely. Whether it be a
trlnket, watch, a picture, book,
or cordial word and a warm grasp
of the hand, let it be an expression
of the giver's hearty Identification
with the others interests and needs.

The number of people now days
trying to get riches without labor,
something for nothing, fortunes in
day, are legion, and they are
a mighty temptation to the in
dustrious young man who cannot
understand it. They behold the
seeming ease and leisure that comes
to them while they have it so hard.
Horatius of Olden time was told he
could have just as much ground as
he could pillow around with a yoke
of oxen in one day. He hooked up
the oxen to the pillow and he cut a
very large circle, and plowed until
he came TO the same point where
he started and all that property was
his. just so much financial, Just so
much moral, just so much spiritual
possession you will have as you
compass with your own industries,
and just so much as from the morn
ing of your life to the evening of
your life you can pillow around with
your own hard work. go to the
ant, thou sluggard; -onsider her
ways and be wise" One of the
worst caldrons of death today is an
INDECENT life. Thank God that you
have to work.
