 The congestion of the shopping dis trict was suddenly increased last Fri day morning by the advent of sixteen pretty girls and one mere man from oregon, who have just arrived on d trip which they are making to see the sights Of the effete east. The man Is Philip s.

ions of George Washington. but even he comes below Lincoln Tn 1his, species of appeal. The name or Jefferson of course, is used daily to decorate speeches and editorials, but saldom with the close and serious ap- plication to the question that IS made of Tincoln's name. Marshall, Webster, Calhoun. Clay and the leaders gener- ally in debating and developing the constitution are quoted less than for merly, and Hamilton, strong as he remains. is not a name to conjure with Lincoln's opinions hold place apart.
 The reason for this is to be found, not in superiority to the other states men in analysis of public questions. The domination of the Lincoln Idea Is a moral domination. II is his person. aHty, his type. that the people wor- ship and appeal to. That aspect or him which is most alive today, which will for centuries bear most fruit, IS the quality of his spirit-his richness in those principles which are generally associated with the religion Of Jesus Universality of sympathy was his and it belonged not to Hamilton, or Jeffer- son. or Webster or Calhoun. Wash ington had an all-including sense Of right and justice, but it sprang from his brain: il did not include great hu- manity of emotion. The key note of the traditional Lincoln (which Is in large way true of the actual Lin coln) is charity, or love of all men charity which means sorrow, the sor- row of understanding, the sorrow of an open heart A strong American, John Quincey Adams, used tfe words: Tn charity to all mankind. bearing no malice or ill will to any human being. and even compassionating those wh9 hold in bondage their fellow men, not knowing what they do"
 Such would be the spirit in which Lincoln would perform his duties if ne were alive today. He would take po- Sition. fiYn and disinterested, on each inpoYtsn. question that it became nee esSary te decide, but. there would be fer him no diatribe,- no evidence, 20 stirring of clazs hatred. no assumption that hiz opponents were inhumaE H. tasns or vampires. He would Op5n his understanding and his sympathy t3 capitalist and laboring man, to sOc.al- isf ard resct!onary, to democrat and republican. te white and black. n rfotsct;onist and free trader, to those who disagreed with him as to his Nsfm EBpoEters. He would patiently and profoundly dwell upon every in

terest and every point of view. When he decided. he would act with decis- ion. but as an enemy to none. as q comprehending friend to all.
 This estimate of Lincoln's character and its application to present day needs. is interesting. coming as il does from one of Lincoln's ablest and most noted .biographers.

The spirit Of Christmas. What is
the spirit of Christmas? Is it the
generous spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all. There will be
millions of gifts made between now
and the new year, and they will not
all express the Christmas spirit.
Some will be made out of pockets OF
plenty and thus entail no personal
service; some will be made under
compulsion of supposed necessity.
How many people give things at this
time because they think they must.
They must give to those who, they
hope or fear, will give to them. 1t is
almost unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such a feature of
our Christmas celebration because
the mere gift is incapable of express
ing the spirit of this occasion, and the
occasion itself has become burden
to many because it has been so much
abused. 1t is not by giving lavishly
that we honor Christ, whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharing unselfsh1y
every good thing we possess. This
puts the best things of Christmas
within reach of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor in goods to give generously of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied US, then let
us give what is better, word to
cheer, a smile to awaken hope, some
thing out of our hearts treasure. Who
would not rather get a cordial mes
sage from friend that would express
his thought and appreciation, than
to get dollar trinket? What heresy
to think that we cannot express an
unselfish love at Christmas time ex-.
cept by lavish use of money. The
spirit of Christmas is the spirit of

but the gift was Himself-His life!
Silver and gold had He none to give,
but He gave health to the diseased,

Christmas
Stocking
Observation-Disclosures
By OWEN OLIVER


Copyright. 1907. by Joseph B. Bowies-)
- HERE is honor among the deni-
Ill zens of Paxton alley, but Mr.
Smiths toy-shop stood at the
very entrance, and they reckoned him
out of bounds.
From time to time evil-looking men
muttered to one another about the
long stocking that Mr.. Smith was
supposed to have filed; but he had
figured in the prize ring in his young
er days, and he was said to sleep
with a big knob stick beside him.
So the matter ended at mutterings.
A big, powerful man was Mr.. Smith;
and he had a powerful edge to his
tongue. Every one in the alley feared
him except Jimmy.
Mr.. Smith knew him as the extra
ordinary paper-boy who brought back
a dime given him in mistake for a
penny, an event which was his
torical in the alley. At the time it
gave rise to doubts as to Jimmy s
sanity, but afterward it was held that
he was playing up to the old
man.
Anyhow, Mr.. Smith took two pa
pers regularly afterward; and the day
after his funeral-which was the day
before Christmas eve-a sleek man
in shiny top hat invaded Paxton al
ley. escorted by a policeman, and
took evidence as to the identity of
the boy called Jimmy who sold pa
pers" to the public generally, and in
particular to the late Mr.. Smith.
When the sleek man was satisfied
upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy
the sole iegatee of the estate which
comprised the little shop and house
and ali their contents.
You'll find a long stocking some
where, I expect" the lawyer said,
land you'd better bring it to me to
take care of; and if were you
should take the name of Smith"
Under ordinary circumstances Jim.

good fortune, but somehow the world
had not interested him lately. He

CHANGED History of World.

The history of the world prior to
Christ is a history of barbarism, cruel
ty and bloodshed. Read the history
of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read history of vice, deg
radiation and crime. A history that is
written in blood and iniquity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans
worshiped a multitude of gods. Even
the Inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until it was declared by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
TeutonicS, were Semibarbarous
people without literature, without gov
eminent, without refinement and with
out religion, but when they received
the glad tidings of the gospel of
Christ their habits were changed,
their manners refined and their civil
lization improved. Wherever this Cos
pei is proclaimed it is as a well of
water springing up into everlasting
life

and had nasty pains in his side and
seemed to be burning all over
He moved in on the morning of
Christmas eve, and explored the
house with a kind of numb curiosity
He spent most of the morning in the
shop parlor in the armchair in front
of the fire. He did not even go out
to the quicklunch room for the beau
tiful dinner that he had promised
himself. He had taken a lot of milk
from the milkman, and he kept drink
ing that He did not seem to care
about anything but milk, and every
thing felt strange and uncanny. The
figure on the mantelpiece-a white
bearded old gentleman which he be-
1ieved was called Santa Claus-was
the strangest and uncanniest of all.
The ire was almost out, so he put
ON some more coal. He saw that it
was nearly four o'clock. ''Lumme!"
he muttered. I've let the day go, an
'aven't done no business. This won't
do. I'll take down the shutters, an
open the shop"
1t had been a hard autumn. and
the people on whom Paxton alley
preyed were short of money So Pax
ton alley was short of money, too.
If few entered the shop, there were
enough outside. A dozen cold, red
blue noses fiattened themselves
against the glass; a dozen shriI
voices clamored; a dozen little hands
pointed with grimy, chilblainy fingers
here and there.
Jimmy remembered when he was
kid" how he used to spend hours a
the toy-shop window, and how tn.
woman he lived with then had thrash
ed him for spending on marbles
penny of the money he had taken 70
papers. It was his own money, h.
held, or he wouldn't have done il
For. by some freak of nature, Jimm
was honest. But now he could hard
1y sit up in a chair, and he didn'
believe he could walk: but when
woman came in for ten-cent dol
