gentlemen who fifty years ago debated

are still able to bring in a considerable
minority report. And while murder is
regarded as such bad form that there
mas been no crime of violence in the
town for over half a decade. a hotly
contested primary in the Fourth ward
furnishes all the sportive excitement
required by any full bIooded able
bodied man whose appetite for fun
has not been surfeited by a plethora
OF actual homicide. For the first pri-

The revised and final estimates Of
the United States department of agri-
culture concerning the crops of the
year just closing show that the total
winter wheat crop OF the country was
$4,000, coo bushels. Kansas wheat is
nearly all of the winter variety. so we
can say that Kansas raised the 90, 0o0.-
600, and it took all the rest of the
country to produce the balance. In
other words, Kansas produced nearly
a fourth as much winter wheat as all
the other states and territories COM
bined.
But there is spring wheat also. The
department estimates the spring wheat
crop at 242,O0O.0OO bushels. Taking
the total of all kinds of wheat pro-
duced in the country. Kansas raised a
trif1e more than one-eighth of it.
That isn't a bad showing for this
little old Sunf1ower state.

FOUR SHORT YEARS.

Four years ago a member Of the leg
islature came to Topeka from western
Kansas who was regarded as a curios-
ity He had been probate judge out in
his home county and ne had been run
ming a little newspaper out there for a
long time, but the politicians knew little
about him. He had not been to Topeka
before for twenty years. and although a
strong Republican he was regarded as a
sort of crank
The most striking thing about this
new member was that he paid his fare
to Topeka The railroads had sent him
passes, just Is they did to all members,
but he had sent them back. He was a
newspaper editor. but as he did not do
much travelling he preferred to pay cash
when he rode on the railroad and let the
railroads do the same for advertising in
his paper.
And SO when Judge Barnd. OF Ness
county, came to the legislature of 1903
he was regarded as a freak because he
paid his railroad fare. And that was
only four short years ago! There have

Once more the anniversary of the
great event that transpired in a
Bethlehem manger more than nine
teen hundred years ago is here. Again
ehristerdom celebrates the birth of
that little babe whose life and death
has taught men to be better and a be-
lief in whom has brought joy and
peace to many a troubled heart.
It's a wonderful story, a marvellous
story--the record Of that first Christ
mas on the Judean hills; and wherever
it has been told there all mankind
celebrates The Event in some way. In
all this broad land there is scarcely a
human being who does not in some
way participate in this celebration.
What would the world be without
Christmas? What would it be if no
Savior had been born in Bethlehem
What would humanity be like If no
good tidings Of great joy had been
brought to the Judean shepherds on
that Christmas eve? How many mill
lions of human beings would have
lived and died in darkness and despair
had not the heavenly host sung that
first Christmas carol, GLORY to God in
the highest, and on earth peace. good
will toward menu
In that carol is embodied the Christ
mas spirit-the spirit Of Santa Claus
good Will toward men. This is the
spirit of kindness. of helpfulness, of
love which the Babe of Bethlehem
taught and practiced every moment Of
his life. 1t is this spirit that underlies
real Christianity.
The world has none too much of
this spirit, yet what it has is ire
mendous fOrce-probably its greatest
force. Men are selfish and grasping;
many appear to be trying to keep all
they can get and get as much of their
neighbours as possible. yet this spirit
of doing good IS gradually conquering
the world. and especially at Christ
mastide IS It manifest. 1t is to be seen
In the myriad of bright eyes and
happy. joyous faces that one meets on
the streets. It stares at one from the
shop windows with their varied offer
ings Of gifts. And nowhere is it more
manifest than in that abode of poverty
where love impels a toilworn mother
to toll harder and make sacrifices to
help those about her.
You doubtless have some of this
spirit-if you haven't you are a most
unfortunate and pitiable creature If
YOU want more Of it try to relieve
some distress or help some unfortu-
nate family If you cannot do that |
even a CHEEKY greeting or a sympa-
thetic word will help. Cultivate the |
Christmas spirit.
