BACK LOTS ON MAIN

The decree has gone forth that all
OF the premises in the city must be
cleaned mp within the next few days
and the trash and filth hauled away
out OF town. and not dumped in the
street as people have been doing
The health authorities will first turn
their attention to the wagon yards
and back lots and see that these
are cleaned and the lots filled and
all the water drained off as 1t should
be-. \ visit over the city and in
spcction OF a number OF the back
lots on Main street is enough to dis
gust the most lax individual in the
city. In one back lot on Main street
can be seen a puddle OF water not
puddle but small sized lake ABOUT
deep enough to grow fish in. The
trash and other matter that should
be somewhere else than in lots rails
cs stencil sufficient to create sick
ness before warm weather sets in
steady.
The wagon yards are breeding pla-
cos for mosquitoes malaria, typhoid
or any other dreaded disease. and it
is generally known that although one
or two wagon yards are in the sew
er district yet those yards are not
annexed to the sewer.
\ complaint has been made that
great many families in the city are
piping the house to run out in the
cutters in the street instead of an
nexing to the sewers and allow the
water and filth to drain in the
drains I'm front of the houses on the

MR.. STAYBOLT AS SANTA CLAUS
Some Things He Would Like to Give
If He Could.

DO you know the Christmas pres
ent I'd like to make if l cculd?" said
Mr.. Staybolt I'D like to give cheer
fuiness to the downhearted; courage
TO the timid, and strength to the weak;
the power of self-denial to those who
yield too easily, and desire TO work
to the lazy.
q have often thought what a pity
it is that you cant buy all these
things, these helpful qualities, already
put up and at such a price as to put
them within the reach of all; canned
eheerfulness, bottled hopefulness,
courage in tablets, and strength, say,
in the form of a powder, and SO on:
or you might, | suppose. put EN- all
up canned. for that matter.
But in the absence of such market
preparations and our consequent IN
ability to buy such things and send
them as gifts to these whom they
might most benefit perhaps you will
permit me to offer to each a word OF
suggestion.
To the dspirited take a cheerful
view. To the downhearted. don't dwell
on the doleful side. To the timld,
don't be afraid To the weak or those
who fancy themselves so, try your
strength. You'll be surprised to find
how much you've got
To those who yield too easily, deny
yourself once and again, and feel the
joy and strength that will come back
to you. To the lazy, get a job with a
shovel, in gang of laborers, under
driving boss and if you are not glad
to get back to your present job to do
the best you know how at it, l miss
my guess.
I can't send you these things in
cans or bottles; but if anyone of you
will take my advice and stick to 1t,
you'll think that Mr.. Staybolt was a
very kind Santa Claus"

Even If I'm dead, Marie, he said,
Joking me, I will come to thee at
Christmas.
On the farther side of L'Isle Madam

The loye-light in the eyes of the
precious ones of the household is the
most brilliant of Christmas illumina-
tions.
The soft Christmas light is not the
least welcome where the shadows of
bereavement have fallen during the
year. The Christmas angels hover
over such dwellings of sorrow in min
istrits of divine love.
1t was the Christ who said: 1T
is more blessed to give than to re-
eeive." Again, he said: "Inasmuch
as We have done it to one of the least

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS GIVING

Give willingly.
Give tactfully
Put thought into your giving
Don't consider return gifts
Never give to others what you
wouldn't want yourself
The unexpected gift insures a spe-
cial appreciation.
To give ostentatiously is the height
of bad taste
Give to the sick and the sorrowful if
you would know the true joy of giving.
Never give more than you can af-
ford. Your friends know your circum-
stances as well as you do yourself and
the pleasure of both giving and re-
ceiying is lost,
