] The spirit of Christmasl 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 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 a burden
to many because 1t has been so much
abused. 1t is not by giving lavishly
that We honor Christ. whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharing unselfishly
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
lus give what is better, a word to
cheer, smile to awaken hope. some
thing out of our hearts treasure. Who
would not rather get 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
lunselfish love at Christmas time ex-
icept by lavish use of money. The
spirit of Christmas is the spirit of

NEW GREENHOUSES

Chris. Lund has just completed two
very fine green houses which makes a
large addition TO his already extensive
institution on Grand avenue. Each
house covers 100x25 feet He has now
IL, 900 square feet of glass. Mr.. Lund
superintended the work himself and it
has taken two months of his time. The
new houses will be used this winter in
which to raise vegetables for our
citizens. Next June, American beauty
and other roses will be started in them.
Besides this work, Mr.. Lund has
changed his heating throughout from
hot water to steam.
Mr.. Lund has invented a very in
genious device for supporting growing
carnations. The device is of wire and
is said to be the very best of anything
of its kind on the market. 1t seems
that hot house owners think so for they
keep Mr.. Lund busy filling orders.
Mr.. Lund has secured patent on his
device and the making of them
promises TO become quite an industry

chanoed History Of World.

The history of the world prior to
Christ is 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 multitude of gods. Even
the inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until 1t 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 gos-
pei is proclaimed 1t is as well of
water springing up into everlasting
life.

CLOSED HIS WORK.

The county agricultural school closed
Friday and on the same day K. b.
Johns duties as principal ended. He
will move his family to Amigo, where
he will be associated with II. G.. Head
and others in the pea canning business.
His decision to move away from Wau-
sau is regretted by everyone who is in
terested in the school, and Wausau
loses good, progressive citizen, who
has been resident of our city for the
past five years.
While the building of the agricultural
school was IN progress six years ago,
the school board began looking around
for competent man to take charge.
The board realized that such a man
would be hard to find; first, for the
reason that men who are drilled in this
particular line of work are scarce, and,
secondly, because the establishment Of
such school was practically an expert
ment-it being the first in the United
States-and as it might prove failure,
it was doubtful if man could be se-
cured who would assume the risk
Among few who were recommended,
Mr.. johns was selected. He moved
here and at once entered heartily into
the work of organization, advertising
the school and soliciting students
This work he has diligently continued
ever since. The school opened with
twenty-five students ami the work for
the first few years was fraught with
many difficulties and the OUTLOOK at
times appeared dlscouraging. But Mr..
Johns kept pounding away. interesting
parents by personally visiting them and
last Friday when he closed school the
ruff hn fo.-r
number of students in the history of
the school and the past year has been a
most successful one At times when
tools were needed in the manual train
ing department, or supplies for the
building he has purchased them with
his own money and he has ever had the
success of the school at heart. In this
work an able corps of assistants has
been associated with him.
When he notified the board a few
months ago that he intended TO leave at
the end of the present school year, that
body reluctantly accepted the resigna-
ton and began looking around for
successor. Several men made applica-
tion and the board was in no hurry in
making a selection, deeming it a matter
of business to look into the merits and
experience of each applicant before en-
gaglng anyone.
From the list g. A. Crosthwait of
Urbana, ILL.,, has been chosen. He has
of late been taking a post graduate
course in the agricultural department
of the University of Wisconsin He has
had considerable experience in teach
ing and in experiment station work
He was graduated from the agricultural
department of the University of Illinois.
Mr.. Crosthwat comes to Wausau high
ly recommended, and no doubt will
meritoriously carry on the good work
so successfully begun by his predeces.
sor. Its expected that State Supt. G.. p.
Cary will endorse the selection some
time this week, and Mr.. Crosthwait
will come to Wausau and open the
winter term of school Monday, Jan. 6.

Christ He came on a giving mission
but the gift was Himself-His life!
Silver and gold had He none to give,
but He gave health to the diseased,
sight to the blind. hope to the despair
ing and salvation to all who will ac-
cept 1t. He proved His unselfish love
not only by giving but by sharing, by
undergoing, not only for us but with
us, all our griefs and temptations.
Would we honor Christmas and enjoy
it, we must not only give but give
wisely. Whether 1t be a trinket, a
watch, picture, book, or a cordial
word and warm grasp Of the hand,
let 1t be an expression of the giver's
hearty Identification with the others
interests and needs.-Ram's Horn.

OPINION AT PARIS.
French Bankers Calmly Watching
House Cleaning in Wall Street.

PAR4o. October 25.-The financial crisi:
in the United States is having a senti-
mental rather than a practical effect
here. The papers are devoting much
space to The Wall Street Crash" and
the Slaughter of American Millionaires -
and operators on the bourse are closely
watching the situation. Naturally there
is some apprehension, but the French
bankers point out that there Is little
actual speculation here in American
stocks, and that as American credit bills
were practically rejected SIX months ago,
they are in a position to witness the
house cleaning in Wall street in a more
or less impersonal way.
Besides. they consider that the Amer
lean financial conditions are sound at the
base, and regard the crisis as being the
inevitable elimination of an era of in
tense prosperity and over-sp ecu. ation,
helped along by the revelations of i'm
proper methods of finance and the posi-
ton assumed by the authorities at WASH
ington.
Some of the French bankers think Pres
ident Roosevelt has gone too far, and
that the whole fabric of American credit
has been endangered, but the majority
view even the hero.c elimination of ques-
tionable elements and metrods' as being
ultimately to the advantage of the United
States. both at home and abroad.
Although the French holders are some
what nervous, they are not unloading

pared to see scared share olders sell re

CLEVELAND FOR WHITNEY.
Expresses Interest in the Massa-

BOSTON, October 25.-In a personal
letter to Charles S. Ham lton ex-Presi-

in the success of Hen-y NJ. Whitney and
the democratic ticket III Massachusetts
this year. Among other things he says:
Il suppose as usual you are in the thick
of the political contest now pending in
your state. 1 need not tell you how deeply
am inteIes ed in it's progress and result
You know YOU firmly believe that the con-
s:stency, the frank honesty and the proud
patriotism of the democI attic party are
bound up il its insistence upon conserva-
tive and sane tariff reform This | am
convinced is its highest mission, and this
believe is its path to success
1t would lie strange indeed If the
democracy of Massachusetts should at
this time lack in enthusiastic and hearty
support of the issue of tariff revision
which it presents so plainly under a leader
80 brave and wise and steadfast and 1t
seems to me that Tie people of the state,
regardless Of party utilization, should rec
osniZe that such an issue and such a
leader give them AN opportunity effective
ly to protest against the hurtful restric-
lions and unfair burdens which existing
laws inf1ct upon them"
