The temperance forces of Ark ansas are preparing to make d vigorous campaign against li- cense, and plans are being made to press bill in the next legis- lature abolishing the ystem of letting each county vote for it. self upon the question Of license or no license, and providing that if a majority of the entire state shall vote against license the whole state shall be dry" A bill with this provision was in- trodueed in the last legislature by Senator Adams, by request. It was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Tem- perance. It was never reported by that committee. It Is pro- posed to introduce the same bill at the next session ot the legis- lature and make q special effort to have 1t passed.
 This movement IS being pushed by the Inter-Chureh Temperance Federation, which was organized in this city about a month ago. The federation Is plannig to extend its work into every county in the state and make hot cam paign against license.-L. K. Gazette.

county. Deceased, before marriage.
was Miss Virginia Pascoe, and was a
sister of Mrs. Margaret p. Teese, of
this city-Lynchburg News.
The following was found in the desk
Ct Mrs. Amber after her death. and is
published as a suitable memorial. Her
late years have been those of Christian
fortitude and faith, which are we'll ex-
pressed in these lines:
am lonely, sad and weary;
This world to me is dark and dreary.
Sorrow and disappointment dwell
Within my heart, all is it well?
Sometimes I think this heart must
break
Beneath it's load of grief.
Jesus wilt thou my burden take
And give Thy child relief?
Softly the tear-drop is falling,
Yet I hear a sweet voice calling.
Seeming to say in accents mild,
Why this sadness, oh my child?
Restless heart, cease thy repining;
Behind the clouds Gods face is shining.
Tho sorrow be thy portion now,
A crown awaits to deck thy brow.
Then let storms of sorrow fall.
Sweet hopes vanish one and all,
In heaven there's rest for the weary
SOUL
Tired hands cease labor, aching hearts
made whole.

have very little room for writing The
entire back of the card is covered with

times, Gabriel Max or Bouguereau.
The coloring is most artistic, and these
cards are quite worth framing as little

mas for instance, the Raphael MA
donna of the Chair" ARE framed in a
wreath of glowing holly, which con-
trasts wildly with the colors in the
Roman scarf flung over the back OF
the chair. Other subjects are to be
had in these truly artistic post cards,
notably portraits of fair women by

The christmastide Lesson.

The Christmastide celebrates the
birth festival of our Lord The in
carnation of Christ is the central
thought in the history of the world.
His birth has exalted the poetry, the
music and the art Of the centuries. 1t
has changed all social customs and re-
ligious rituals. 1t has given new
glory to human life and new trend
to eternity. This is the time when all
bitterness should be forgotten, all fam
lily feuds reconciled and all life glori-
fed God grant that the day may
speedily come when the song of the
angels celebrating the birth of the
Christ may find its fulfllment through
out the whole world.

chimney staring fixedly before her.
1t was nearly midnight. and the house
was still. The Christmas tree stood all
decorated and with the gifts hung
upon it in the library, back of the par

the fire in her pretty yellow eiderdown

Polly always, as she said, kept right
along with the procession"
Polly was tired. for she had been
busy all that day They were not rich,
and so much of the running devolved
upon Polly, and the three boys were
home from school, and they had two
visitors to remain till New Years
One of them was Archie-it is enough
to call him just Archie" So, while
Poly braided the heavy mass of rich
brown hair into one long loose plait
