WE'D, DEC, ~ 1909.

The Christmas holidays will
soon be here and then the ac-
counts of accidents, brawls and
misdeeds will appear in the pa
pers resulting from overindul-
gence in merry-making, pleasure
seeking or debauchery Of some
kind that has no kinship to an
observance of Christmas day, the
birthday Of our Savior. That
Christmas is a day for rejoicing,
a day for spreading happiness
and love, we h ave n ev e r.
doubted, but the extreme meth
eds used by many to pass off the
time by indulging in drink, de-
throning reason and bringing
sorrow and shame to others can
not meet the approval of anyone,
and fails in itself to make the
participants happier Or better.
How silly, how foolish it is to
seek pleasure by such methods,
and yet some are inclined to do
30 when their experiences Of the
past warn against it. Christ
mas is day for rejoicing, a day
appropriate for gifts. A little
gift to friend revives the good
will and produces pleasure that
fingers i n the mind, an asset
both to the giver and receiver.
Too often, however, we lavishly
pour out our gifts on those hav-
ing direct claim, or who are in
position to compensate us while
the very poor and unfortunate
are overlooked, left without a
token of love from any one, to
pass through merriment sadden-
ed and discouraged. The chill
dren look forward to the coming
Of Santa with restlessness, with
hope, with expectancy. Some
have no parents to provide for
them, some parents are too poor

ly Columbia and vicinity have no
destitute, nor Indifferent fathers !
and mothers, soIfar. as we know, |
yet there may besome, and if so,
they should mot be..s neglected, |
Ordinarily the good ladies of Co
lumbia take charge of this work /,
and the presumption is that they
will do SO this time. To buy
presents requires money and no
one in position to give who be-
lieves in making the little ones
happy, in giving gladness and
cheer to those in needy circum-
stances, unable to change their
condition, will hesitate moment
in contributing to a fund for
such a purpose.

right swings to the jaw. The first
time he took the count of eight, and
the second knockdown kept him
quiet for nine seconds. Mrs. Hy-

The betting was even. Thompson
