pends on simplicity far more than we think. Children often turn away from the playthings that have cost goodly sum in dollars and cents. and find their delight in something cheap which they may use at their pleasure. The costly doll imported from Paris and dressed in the height of the fash ion is shown with pride by its owner to her little friends, but it is not the doll which gives most satisfaction. It is not the doll that the child plays with. Very likely her mother con siders it too fine to be spoiled and puts it away in the closet except on state occasions. A doll on the closet shelf may be a marvel of elegance, but it brings no particular gratifica- ton to the child who seldom sees it.
 Our yule-tide should be full of warmth and cheer, our extra money should be spent on plenty of light and an open fire, and there should be good times at home. the best times then in all the year.
 The beneficent spell of the yule- tide has most of heaven in it when We remember our poorer neighbors and our lonelier friends. There are people known to us all who will be made very happy by so simple thing at Christmas-tide as letter. For in- stance. there is the seamstress who worked for you 20 years ago and who is ending her days in an old ladies home. She has nobody of her own left to visit her and one day passes just like another. Her yule-tide will be made more cheerful by visit if you can make it, or letter if you can send it.

 HE spell of the yule-tide $: : :: : <: = <: 5: j: = $" eHVc1M lasts very much longer S,k than the yule-tide itself. 9AU Weeks before Christmas SN,N0 holidays we are all think
 ing about them wondering
 what we can do to make them better holidays than we have ever had, planning surprises for everybody from the grandparents to the little ones toddling about the nursery floor and keying ourselves to concert pitch over the whole matter. America as a nation is growing i'm mensely rich among the nations of tho earth, but while men of wealth are no longer extraordinary. the rank and file still have and always will have limited means. so that thrift is a golden virtue at Christmas as well as at other periods of the year.
 
 Sometimes there is complaint at home that father is moody and taci- turn. and a little management and tact are in order before mother and the girls ask him for money. the fact being that the poor man is borrowing right and left. and is almost beside himself to meet the drain on his re- sources.
 Several years ago. soon after the glow of the yule-tide had faded into the ashen embers of mid-winter. a business man was taken i'll. Dragging clong through the weeks of February and March. the victim it seemed of a mysterious malady. he died and was Auried during Easter week. When sis affairs were settled. they were found to be extremely involved The entire scheme of living for the family pangs of agony those whom he had loved discovered that their extrsva- gance had really sspped the springs Of his life. They were not altogether to blame. Husbands are not invariably frauk and candid with wives. Fathers dislike to let sons and daughters hnow that they have an1ieties: they resort to every legitimate or iilegitt mate means to g-atify those who bear their name. and Tn the end if a crash does not come. there are heart burn ings and distress that might as well have been avoided
 When the yuIetide casts upon us . spell of foreboding or leaves a legacy of fmportunate creditors 1t has been robbed of It's finest essence and defrauded of its noblest meaning

Wants to Abolish Personal
Taxes.--Assess Realty
and Corporations

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 13.-Gov.
ernor Folk has issued an explicit state
ment. of his convictions concerning the
abolition of perDonal taxes in Missouri
and the shifting of a large part of the
burden upon the big corporations. He
said: -...-
1T is asserted by some persons that
the removal of state taxes from per
sonal property. thus placing upon real
estate and corporate monopolies the
burden of government, would benefit
the rich at the expense of the poor.
ION the contrary, in proportion 10
property, the personal property tex
tand by personal property is not
meant corporate franchises and priv
tleges) falls heaviest ON the poor and
the honest.
Z: "The abolition of this tax and put.
ting it on corporate privileges cannot
be to the advantage of the rich as
against the poor, for the poor man
has no monopoly privileges and no
corporate holdings. & ~, ~
Every farmer, under the present
system, pays on every cow, horse and
hog; every widow or orphan whose
estate must go through the probate
court must pay In full, while too often
the man Of wealth, having his person
ally in such shape it cannot be
reached. pays practically nothing"
