If Virtue Were Tempting.

Few men would choose the wicked ways Or listen to Temptations call If Virtue knowing how to praise,
 Could learn to let her lashes fall On blushing cheeks, or sweetly sighed
 And had such graces as they claim Who, filled with vanity and pride,
 Stray down the easy ways to shame. Few men would care to finger where
 The sirens sing on shameful isles, If Virtue always could be fair
 And knew the worth of cheering smiles. -S. F. Riser.

Steel Pens.

Steel writing pens are a modern in- vention. They were first made in 1903 in England by man named Wise The quill pen of our forefathers was first used in the fifth century Before that time split reeds were used to write with. There was not much use for pens in the olden times. Theo- doric, king of the Ostrogoths, it is said, was so illiterate that, instead of using pen with which to sign docu- ments, he had a gold plate through which letters were cut and this being placed on piece of paper, the king traced his signature with quill.

not be Christmas without Santa, de-
cided Uncle Sam.
The governments personal respons-
Utility in these instances lies in the
fact that at many of the irrigation
projects where these temporary towns
have sprung up the government oper-
ates the only store. 1t was learned
through the Chicago purchasing
department of the reclamation
service that the government stores
are carrying, in addition to their
stocks of flour, sugar, cloth by the
yard and such staple lines of merchan-
disc, a supply of toys
In doing this the government Off
Gals have clear conscience. They
have come to the conclusion that dolls,
baseballs and such things may be as
necessary to youthful existence and
happiness as are a pair of suspenders,
a Bingham apron or any other of the
utilities to the adult population. So
the order went forth to lay in a supply
of toys for the Christmas trade.
The government operates three
stores in Arizona-one at Roosevelt, a
bustling town with electric lights and
schools that is doomed TO extinction
in short year; at Yuma, another point
on is extensive Irrigation works /;
and still another near Phoenix, the
town being too new even to have a
name. Other government stores are
maintained at Montrose, Colo; Fallon,
Neb.; Yakima River, Wash, and at
Sun River and Milk River, Mont.
At all these points the inhabitants
are absolutely dependent on the gov
eminent stores which were estab-
lished, because local merchants, de
tered by the out-of-the-way-ness OF
the towns, failed to materialize. Had
the government omitted to recognize
Santa Claus, therefore, the children's
patron saint would have received a
severe jolt.
Instead of such a contingency,
there is joy and expectancy in juve-
nile breasts at these outposts. On
the display counters, there are Teddy
bears, skates, boxing gloves, sleds,
miniature sewing sets-you know
+; what all-not quite SO gaudy an array
as is seen in the Madison street show
windows. but no less potential to give
joy. 1t is just another instance
where Santa Claus has received Off
