" EVERYBODY Works But Father

If it was asked what especial feat
ure Of Everybody Works But Faith
er," that comes to the DeGraw on
December 20, appeals most strongly
to the public it would be hard to an
swer, because of the variety Of featur-
es offered. Taking the musical COM
edy as whole, it might be argued
that the consistency of its construc-
tion and general wholesome tone of
the play is the best feature of it's sue
cessfulness. The music is catchy, the
specialties are all good, the comedy is
clever, Jne Cnuruv --o----------.-
the cast is, without question, the best
obtainable, the scenery is massive and
costly, the stage effects are striking
and the play itself one of the seasons
successes. The company WILL be
greeted by full house on Saturday
evening, December %.

wM. cENRIcH KILLED
Met Death i'm q Railroad
Accident At LouiSi.
ana Thursday.

4sSWilliam F. Genrich, former citi'
zen of Laclede and well known here,
was killed in a railroad accident at
Louisiana, Mo-, last Thursday. He
had been living with his family at
Mexico for the past two years and
was braking ON the G. q A. road
when killed. Very little is known
here concerning the accident more
than that he fell beneath the train
and was cut in two. The remains
were taken to his home at Mexico
and buried at that place Friday. He
was industrious and we'll respected.
Deceased was son-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. M. Cassidy, of this
place, and his sudden and tragic death
is a severe blow to these aged and
good people. He leaves a widow and
four children.

Ilncla Toms Cabin.

Manager VIM. Kibble will offer his
patrons that grand spectacular $780,
600 production of Uncle Toms Cabin
on December rs at the DeGraw IN
Brookfeld. This attraction is classed
as one of the biggest scenic produc-
tions the American stage has ever
seen, it being necessary to utilize two
special cars to transfer the scenery
and equipments. No such amount OF
money as has been spent on this pro-
duction has ever before been spent on
this much neglected and abused, but
still most successful and unrivaled OF
American dramas. The company
carries two bands, one creole girl
drum corps, twenty-five ponies, don
KEYS, horses and oxen and tally-ho
coach, traps and Eva's golden chariot
log cabin, ox-carts and other numer-
GUS novelties, and gives the most
elaborate and largest street parade
ever attempted by theatrical com
pany. The parade starts from the

strel. heads the cast as "Uncle Tom. "

The Seasons Greetings.

As far as possible let there be fam
lily gatherings and reunions during
the approaching holidays. Bring the
children and grandchildren and other
loved ones together. : Let them assem-
BILE once more around the family
board to partake Of the joyful feast,
after which let there be pleasant and
innocent recreation and enjoyment.
Tell the little ones of Bethlehem's
manger and its illustrious occupant
why it occurred and in what way
they can be benefited by it. Such
scenes and experiences will help to
smooth away many Of your cares and
refresh your memories with incidents
Of other days now long past. Some
will not be with you at this gathering
who were with you year ago. Some
are far from home, in distant lands
perhaps, and among strangers, but
they will think of you and the old
home and its happy Christmas gath
erings and greetings and you will
think of them and miss them, while
some have passed to their reward.
Above all, let it be a season Of peace
and goodwill. If there be any differ
ence, any Misunderstanding, any es-
arrangements existing, or any unkind
feelings or harsh thoughts, now is the
time to make up.

There are few towns where the

ance than those of Laclede. Our

while the little boy is not quite SO
badly hurt. DIR. j. L. Burke is at
tending them.

accomplished and aching hearts are
saved further pain.

Some Evening Reveriss.

Christmas is peculiarly the festival o.
love. Easter commentaries the res
rection of Jesus. 1t is our festival oi
life, divine and immortal; for the
power that raised Christ from the
dead has passed into the liyes of the
millions. 1t comes with peculiar ap-
propriateness at the season of the
year when nature is awakening to
spring and everywhere are warm
winds, sunshine, growth and beauty.
Thanksgiving is our festival Of Di-
vine Providence, celebrating the low
ing care Of God over all that He has
made. It comes at the time when, in
this community, the earth's fruitage
has been garnered and the years work
draws to close. 1t is good time in
all pursuits to close the books with
God, and to bring to him the only
possible return for his benefcence,
the gratitude and appreciation of our
hearts.
But Christmas is the climax of the
Christian year. 1t is our festival of
love and as such is it not beautifully
fitting that the day should be celebra-
ted by the bestowment of gifts? It is
as natural for love to give as for birds
to sing and for flowers to grow.
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit
of giving. This spirit takes hold
upon all classes of people, carrying
into every soul the sweetness and pur-
ity Of loves ministry. 1t lavishes
gifts in homes of wealth and it finds
way in the direst poverty.
Christmas was the day when God
gave His richest gift to man-Jesus
the Christ-and that marvellous gift
of the ages has proven the inspiration
of the day and given birth to the
spirit of giving among men. And for
this reason let us give remembrances
to just as many people as we can af-
homes, to our 1r1euds anu e4ar rnwn
It doesn't need to be much, so that it
is token of friendship. Remember
particularly the lives that are cast in
hard places. Lift mortgage, pay
debt, send check to brave woman
who is bravely fighting for her chill
dren. Bring the young man or wom-
an who is away from home to your
own fireside. Send a Christmas din
ner where you are sure there would be
scanty one if you did not send it,
But this spirit of Christmas which
is to find its expression in the gift OF
loving service is not the spirit of mere
benevolence. Kindness that is not
inspired by comradeshlp IS not oeao-
tiful at all. It may be pity from a
proud heart, but that is not the deep
brotherly love of Christianity. Men
need friends more than they need
aims. We all need each others
friendships. We are inseparable'
bound together as men Of one race
and men OF all races. The powerful
need the sympathy and recognition OF
the humble, the rich of the poor, the
cultured of the unrefned, and for this
reason the life which finds its expires
sion in unaffected and universal
friendship is the life which has most
nearly caught the spirit of Christ and
of Christmas. Let us give gifts and
among them that larger gift of living
service. Thus will the spirit oi
Christmas be shed abroad and make
the world brighter and better.
