CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

Christmas day, the gladdest of all
the year, has arrived. For nineteen
centuries this day has brought unal-
loyed JOY to the hearts of human kind
over great portion of the civilized
globe. The star that appeared in the
heavens over Bethlehem in Judea,
designating the birthplace of the
Christ Child, brought hope to the
wise men Of the East who followed
it from affair. The profound teach
ings, the simple and beautiful life of
Christ while upon earth, have been
the star of hope of mans salvation
that the teeming millions have fol-
lowed for nineteen centuries and will
keep on following until the end Of
time.
He who taught peace on earth, good
will toward man, did not mean that
this should be our rule of life on the
reoccnrring anniversary of the birth
of the lowly Nazarene, but for every
day in the year. There is as vet too
much seltishness in the world to put
into practical operation the workings
of the Golden Rule. But the time is
coming when man will do unto his
neighbor as he would have his neigh
Dor do unto him: when the joy of
making Others happy will be daily
instead Of an annual occurance: when
little time out Of each busy worka-
day will be devoted to the intellec-
tual. spiritual or moral uplift either
OF ourselves or some unfortunate
brother who has fallen by the way
side in the fierce battle for existence.
Then, and not till then, will we
understand the full meaning Of the
glorious messages delivered to us by
the greatest Teacher the world ever
produced. who sought to divert the
mind Of man from man to higher and
nObler things. Let us on this great
day make the firm resolution that the
Christmas cheer, Joy and gladness
that fills all our hearts shall be
spread out into every day of the COM
ing year, and every year hereafter
until mans inhumanity to man shall
have entirely ceased. and the joy Of
making others happy shall be per-
petnal pleasure.

OFF THE MARK.

Even college professors are not al- ways free from the fault of making absurd remarks. For example, Har- yard professor recently made the as- sertion that any man who gets mar ried on a salary of less than $500 q year is guilty of a crime against the county. What is the good of making such broad assertions as that? We often hear of the very rich people fix ing limits below which no one can live respectfully, a late instance being that of a wealthy society woman--in a suit for alimony, we believe-who declared that a woman cannot live decently on $500 e week.
 Now. how does such declaration strike the average reader? No doubt there are women belonging to the very rich classes who do not know the value of money. and who take no ac- count of the amount they spend, wh o would think themselves badly stinted on $500 a week, hut there are millions of others as good as they, If not bet ter, who would consider themselves rich if they had one-tenth or even one twentieth of the sum named by this woman. They would live respectfully, decently and contsntsdly if they could always have even s1O a week to spend on themselves, and $50 would be like asgolden dream to them.
 And so it is with this Harvard pro- lessor and his positive assertion as to the limit below which 1t Is a crime for a man to marry We wonder if he knows what he is talking about, or does he talk that way because he im- aglnes himself an authority? The strict enforcement of such an idea as he ad- vances would limit legal marriage and legal reproduction to a pitifully small proportion of the human family. Eight hundred dollars a year is something over s15 a week. and there are many thousands of working men, to say noth- ing of other occupations. who do not get more than this sum, and many of them less. but they are contented and respectable husbands and fathers. and as a general thing they will compare favorably as good citizens with any of those whose income ia nrneh higher

THEY WILL REBEL.

The University of Kansas has taken position that Is bound to raise red rebellion among the youths and maid ems of that somewhat old institution of. learning. The edict has gone, forth, says a Kansas contemporary. that all social festivities shall be so curtaiied that there shall be no calling, no dates" no moonlight strolls, no tete- .a-tetes, no billing and cooing save and except upon the days and nights of Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays. The object of this infringement of ancient and natural rights is to insure to both boys ana girls a larger part of their time for absorbing certain educational data incidental to the university ca- resr.''
 We are not at all surprised to learn that there are numerous signs of in- subordination among the young people of the college. Numbers of them 'of both sexes have put their names to a formal declaration of independence and red rebellion is fairly llon among them. They are determined that billing and cooing shall be 1unrestrained or they'll know the reason why. and are apparently of the opinion that no teacher. professor or other person shall place a ban on the psFformancesS sor Dan Cupid. There's doubtless run ahead for somebody. and we are mis- taken if the young people don't get most of it.a
 There are times and occasions when young. -psesis ara, very much inclined <S have their own Esy, and. they will have it if such a thing Is possible. Of course. rules and regulations in in- stitutions of learning are both proper and necessary. and it is very likely that these young people in the Kansas Uni vsrsity spent much more time spark ing and skyIarking than they spent at their studies. but we have some doubt about the authorities putting a stop to 1t They may be able to reduce what they consider an evil. but if they put an end to 1t entirely we shall be fooled. We shall watch with some interest to see who comes out ahead.

ROW IN PROSPECT.

There's likely to be something doing In St Louis society pretty soon. One Miss Fullerton has just come intp fortune Of. several millions. and she tells it out right fiat that she doesn't intend to become a member of the high social set of the big Missouri city. We don't know where she was brought up, or where she has spent her time, but she let's it be known that she cannot endure American. women" and then she goes into details about them. They are such prevaricators." she goes on to say; maybe not malfciously. but they have just gotten the habit in society. You can't depend upon a word they say. Maybe it's diplomacy and tact, but it looks to me like surrender of independence and individuality. That's whysI shall never make profession of society"
 These are some of the remarks this newly-rich young woman puts forth, and we are much mistaken if many of those thus criticised win not let her know that. being from Missouri. they will need to be shown some things. They will require to know what school of good breeding and good manners she graduated in to give her the right to virtually brand them as liars and as women who are not to be trusted. They may also want to know what she means by it. and several other things of like nature. Possibly the young lady. judging for herself by numerous recorded examples thinks she will cor ral a foreign nobleman and become titled lady in. European courts. All the same. we are much mistaken if St. Louis women do not make it warm for her If she remains there.
