THE REAL GOOD.

OF the three hundred and sixty-hve
days in each year, in no one OF them is
so much happiness concentrated as in
that of Christmas. Parents and guar
dams are made happy by the expendi-
ture of labor and money to please the
young. and the refining influence OF
these acts on their own natures is OF
more value to them than thrice the
amount of gold and silver they have ex-
pended in procuring them. Who is the
man or woman of fifty or sixty that Ca
not look back over these vanished yeais
and recall with pleasing associations
some token in his or her youth from
some kind friend on Christmas?
So will it be now, and from genera
ton to generation. The real good and
the extended influence of these gifts to
the young we may not presume to meas
ure. In refining sense they are more
durable and far exceed their prlce in
silver and gold.

While l sat with hand extended,
Filled with chicken nicely blended
With the bread; thought defended
From all thieves around the door.
Though moved so softly, gently,
Small, round eyes did watch intently-
Gazed like one benevolently
Dreaming of the days OF yore.
In my heart no vile suspicion
Fostered 'gainst an eye so pure.
While my soul in rapture gloated,
All my thoughts to grub devoted,
Up there sneaked snowy gander,
Soft as cats can tread the flor.
Not the slightest racket made he,
Not an instant stopped or stayed he,
Not with mien of lord or ladee,
Snatched that chicken from my finge"-
And rushed beneath the school house
Fl Dor,
Rushed and Topped, and nothing moro.
Raging anger through ME darrlng,
Lonely birdi I shrieked, upstarting,
Bring that chicken back, beg thee;
Bring it back, do implore,
Think of kindness have shown thee
Many, many times I've fed thee;
Think of all these things and more.
Tho begged and threatened madly,
I heard the words he uttered sadly,
Quoth that gander: "Nevermore!"

FIRST GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT.

"He gave His only begotten son."
The world stands upon the threshold
Of that season of the year when the
thought of Christendom instinctiyely
turns to the most gladstone day in the
annals of recorded time-the birthday
OF the Savior of the World.
We may not be able without finite un-
derstandings to comprehend the height
and depth of the great plan which came
forth from the mind of the Infinite and
which comprehended the redemption OF
the entire human race, but we find in
the Inspired Word this passage of un-
mistakable import: "For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begot-
ten son, that whosoever believeth on
Him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life"
In those words we find an epitome of
the Divine plan. The motive and the
reason are both set forth, and while we
may marvel over what was compre-
hended in that plan, we accept it as a
great truth and know that the emerging
of the world from darkness into light
dates from the hour when the Star of
Bethlehem flashed across the Judean
sky.
Jesus Christ was, therefore, Gods
first Christmas gift to sad and weary
world. No wonder that Heavens joy
bells rang! No wonder that the gates
of Paradise seemed to open while angels
looked down upon the scene.
In that hour was born the spirit OF
cheer, peace on earth, and good will to-
ward men which has never died out
during all the centuries which have
passed. There have been times when
its splendor has seemed dimmed, and
when men appeared to forget the senti
ments of that first Christmas message,
but on Christmas day itself few there
are who do not count 1t privilege to
journey in Imagination with the wise
men of the East, to that humble cradle
in the manger which the Christ child
made holy with its presence.

Office Hints.

Never send articles for publication
without giving thy nome, for thy name
often secures publication of a worthless
article.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door of a
printing Office, for heI that heareth thee
rap sneereth in his sleeves and looseth
time.
Thou shoulds. never read the copy on
the printers case or sharp and hooked
container thereof, or he may knock you
down.
Never inquire of the editor the news,
for behold it is his business to give it to
the at the appointed time without asking
for it.
1t is not right that thou should ask
him who is the author of an article, for
it is his duty to keep such things to
himself.
When thou dost enter his Office take
heed of thyself that thou dost not look
at what may concern thee not, for that
is not meet in the sight of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proofsheet
for it is not ready to meet thine eye,
that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and if thou hast not already done
so, subscribe for it Immediately. Pay
for it in advance, and it will be well
with thee and thine.

QUOTH THE GANDER: 'NEVERMORE!'
From The High School Idea.


Once upon midday sunny,
When life cid not seem 20 funny,
And the boys and girls were hungry =
Hungry more than e'er before,
While voice within was crying,
"I am starving! am dying!"
Fill me with those pies SO luscious

IT'S the time to eat, muttered;
I thought it was some time before.
l was shivering, remember.
It was in the sad November,
And my nose and every member,
Stung with cold, were red and sore.
Eagerly I wished for summer
Geel the wind, it was hummer!
Cold enough to freeze hummer,
Even if good clothes he wore.
But, l tell you, was hungry,
Till couldn't stand it more.
With basket full of grub, wandered
Meath a cedar tree and pondered,
Thinking what bully dinner
was going to have for sure.

And thought that could risk it
To expose my chicken brisket,

OF all the dainties in creation,
There's nothing else that love more.

Changed History Of World.

~uau2Co T1totoFJ VI Vv0tio
The history Of tho 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 sand crime. A history that is
written in blood and iniqufty. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans
worshiped . multitude of gods. Even
the Inhabitants OF Syria had gone
astrny until 1t was declared, by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
Teutonics. were . semibarbarous
people without literature, without gov.
ernment, 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
lfzation improved. Wherever this COS.
pei is proclaimed 1t is as a well of
water springing up into everlasting

The South has long followed the Gus
toms of Merrie England in the matter
of bringing in from wood and field the
beautiful Christmas greens with which
to give home and church festival air;
but from the pine lands cf Maine to the
mistletoe haunts of California, from the
creeping ground-pines of northern Wis
consin to the high parasite greens down
in Hawaii, we all have learned how to
keep Christmas. Poor, indeed, Is the
house that does not show Christmas
wreath in the window, hang holly over
the picture of some beloved absent one.
Probably even middle-aged people of
the day think the Christmas tree has
been common here for many, many
years; but in reality it is hardly thirty
years since we adopted this feature of
the day. Half century ago it was
only foreigners that made use of it,
children of Americans knowing it only
as pleasant myth. And England in
the second quarter of the last century
considered the tree still a German insti-
tuition, as not yet fully belonging to
her; today the English-speaking ma
tions vie with the Germans in love for
the tree.
Yes, Christmas is drawing very near.
Then let us with one hand tenderly
cling to the old year while we stretch
forth the other to greet the new. To
some it has been a year of prosperity;
to others one of adversely and sorrow.
AS we look back over past events we
cannot fail to note the absence of many
that were with US year ago. But now
they are gone; called home, to return
no more. This time last year they were
planning surprise for some one near
and dear to them in the way of Christ
mas present that would cause them to
be remembered as the years roll on,
bringing the joyous Christmas time.

BLANCHARD CASES ARGUED.
Trustee In Bankruptcy Seeks t. Re-
cover Money Paid Out.

Portland, Me-, July 31.-Two cases Of
considerable Importance to Portland
Wholesalers were argued in the United
states District court before Judge Hale
yesterday. The actions We're brought by
l'"Ss L.. stevens, trustee in bankruptcy
of the estate Of W. w. Blanchard. de-
ceased, late Il trader of Canton against
the Dntcn Grain Co of Portland arl
Inc Oscar liolway Co. of Auburn. These
cases We're tried before Judge Hale on
June 20 and We're continued for argu-
ment to July 80. Blanchard became n
bankrupt and Mr. Stevens, the trustee
brought suit against the defendants
alleging that they had been made prn-
f"rred creditors and asked for the re-
turn to the, estate of certain payments
made a short time prior to the begin
nir;r of bankruptcy proceedings.
II is alleged by the trustee that secs
paid ~ Blanchard to the Doten Grain
Co. Feb. 20, 1906, and 1920 paid by
Blanchard on May ), 1906 and four or
five payments paid to the Oscar Hol-
way Co. about the same time, were
preferences and ought to be returned
to the estate for the benefit of all the
creditors The payments were made
upon amounts due for grain and feed
sold to Blanchard. portions Of which
amounts remained unpaid and were
due at the time the payments were
received.
The defence to the action is that
while Mr.. Blanchard was undoubtedly
InCnIEnnt in tho
which time he was adjudged a bank
rupt, there was no reasonable cause 20
believe that the payments which were
made in due course of business by him
to the DOtcn Grain Co., were otherwise
than as payments made in the due
course of business and not any notice
that the same We're preferences, or any
reasonable ground for the company to
believe that such payments were re-
cciVed as preferences. They were re-
ccived, as the evidence discloses. in tho
due course of business by the Doten
Grain Co. and there still remains about
S45 unpaid u the Doten Grain Co, and
did when the last payment was rcceiv-
cd from Blanchard on May ), 1906
Blanchard at that time claimed he was
all right and that he had ample means
10 pay his bill to the company, and TIE
company was seeking to sell him more
goods at that time and were willing to
do 50, as the evidence discloses.
The defence of the Oscar Holway
Co. was similar. The plaintiffs coun-
sci in each case was United States
District Attorney Robert Treat White
house and for the defence, Charles A.
Strout and Foster &: Foster for the
Dotcn Grain Co, and Hon. George c.
Wing for the Oscar Holway Co.
