A happy Christmas to grown people
and merry Christmas to the chill
dren! And let it be a happy Christ
mas; for that one day put away wor-
ries and disagreeable feelings, and en-
ter into the real spirit of Christmas,
which is to give happiness into some
human life. It is not in the giving Of
presents alone that is the true Christ
mas; it is in bestowing kind words,
kind looks and smiles where there is
not always sunshine. Why do people
so often think Christmas a burden,
and wish the holiday season past?
Why should the sad and sorrowful
look forward to it as a dread ami
versary? This is the worst form of
selfishness. Christmas should be
day of self-forgetfulness and of think
ing of some one else's life, and how it
can be made brighter. There is a
great deal of sadness and worry in all
stations Of life, and a few CHEEKY
words, accompanied by smile, give
great encouragement and cost but lit
tie effort.
And the children! Does anyone
ever notice the wistful faces peering
into the fascinating shop windows at
this season, and remember that prob.
ably this is their owners only glimpse
Of Christmas? That in their whole
miserable existence never a penny has
been handled by them Of their very
own? Let the childless one and the
sorrowful one, as well as those who
daily take their walks abroad, think
of this, and each one in his own way
do his best to gladden. some life, and
by doing so feel by Christmas night
that there is something after all
worth doing and living for In this old
world, and the new year will be pre-.
pared for by ending the old one well.

Loki, that unpleasant fellow whom no
one used to ever kiss like this),
learned that the mistletoe had taken

There was an old blind god called

This, II Will be observed contains,
really fine tribute, from such source,
to the power and force OF the eternal

LAW OR LICENsEl

II Is to be hoped that the City Coun'
ell will not recede from It's action In
reference to the application for IL
Cense TO saloon, which some persons
wish to establish on West Second South

jections from residents Of the neigh

that children passing to and from
school would pass by II OF necessity,
turned down the application, and that
body was highly commended for It's ac-
tlon. 1t is rumored, however that
preparations are being made, notwith-
standing the refusal TO grant a license,
for the carrying on OF the liquor bust
ness in defiance Of the law.
II is difficult TO understand why such
steps are taken, unless the Intending
saloonkeeper expects to prevail upon a
sufficient number Of members OF the
council TO secure his license, We hope
this view OF the matter Is not war
ranted by anything reliable, but that
the council will hold to It's decision, and
not be swerved from the right path
by any considerations that may arise
or be offered, And II the projectors OF
the business think they can defy the

GET ON TO THE TRAIL!

The rewards offered for the apprehen-
sion and conviction OF the Wyoming
murderers who made the attack on
Utah sheep camp, killed one OF the
herders, wounded another and slaugh-
tered a great flock OF sheep. amount
to the sum OF $4,000. This ought to be
sufficient to stimulate real detectives

termination not to quit until they sue

them to the punishment they deserve.
