will of Jesus, driving away selfish
ness. May the spirit of Christmas
always be yours. my dear reader,
and yet. remember the sands are
falling in the h~our-glass. Life is Il
an hair-breadth; an arrow speeding
to its mark; a swift ship soon to
make the port; an eagle Fastening
to its prey; a tale that is told, and
so let us say, so teach us to number
our days hat we may apply our
hearts to wisdom.
May the Master come and touch
your life this Christmas time and
make your life's work bright and
beautiful. May you say with the
poet.
My hands were filled with many
things
That | did precious hold,
AS any treasure of a Kings
Silyerl or gems, of gold.
The Master came and touched my
hands,
(The sears were in his own
And at His feet my treasures sweet
Fell shattered. II by one
I must have empty hands, said lie.
'Wherewith to work My works
through thee.
My hands were stained with marks
of toll,
Defiled with dust of earth;
And | my work did ofttimes soil,
And render little worth.
The Master came and touched my
hands,
(And crimson were His OWN
But when, amazed, on mine | gazed,
Lo, every stain was gone.
I must have cleansed hands, said He,
Wherewith to work my works through
thee
My hands were growing feVerish
And numbered with much care!
Trembling with haste and eagerness,
Nor folded oft in prayer.
The Master came and touched my
hands.
with healing in His own
And calm and still TO do His will
They grew-the fever gone.
I must have quiet hands, said He,
'Wherewith to work My works for
Me.
My hands were strong in fancied
strength,
But not in power divine,
And bold to take up tasks at length,
That were not His but mine.
The Master came and touched my
hands,
(And might was in His ownD
But mine since then have powerless
been,
Save His are laid thereon.
And it is only thus said He,
That l can work my works through
thee"
And may this be the brightest
CHRISTMAS and the happiest New
Year of your life, because of the
Shepherds story and the Shepherds
Christ touching your life.

Except ye become as little child
rem" is fraught with precious mean
ing. The kinghood of innocence is
above all earthly dignities. The
crown it wears brings no anguish, en-
tails no fear. Clear-eyed and clean
hearted, the little children of the
world stand on the heights nearest
heaven. The condescension that
brings older persons on the same
plane with them is no condescension
at all. but rather a coming back to
ones own best estate.
The Falls City tribune., 1909-12-17

In this world the most beautiful
thing is charity, which gives without
hope of reward or return, simply for
the love of giving, and for the love
of other human beings.

We have just installed a steani garment pressing machine that really presses (and not irons) garment. More and better results are obtaiur,i than can be obtained by the old meth cd of hand pressing. Heat, steam and heavy pressure are necessary for pressing a garment. The steam is driven into the garment while und pressure, thus setting the fibre and weave of the cloth: The results az fine, smooth work, accomplished ;n one-third the time requireds by tke hand presser.

chance, as finally succeeded in hook. ing that now famous left half scis- sors hook" into his liver. AS soon as I had landed that punch I could tell that his finish was near. I stepped back bit to steady myself to land another similar punch when he keeled over on his head, helpless and unable to continue.
 This made the third time that had fought the same Cans and beat him each and every time with the same identical punch-the left hand scis- sors hook,'' which was originated by me.

life. I had licked them all. I was now the res.l champion of the world and nobody could question my title iB any way w'>' tever.
 My decis,ve defeat of the negro champion at Colma that day should have been sufficient to convince the public that I was his master, but sev eral sport writers intimated that Cans might have thrown the fight to me or laid down" as some expressed it.
 Another Match With Cans.
 This worked on my pride, and, feel ing that I could beat him again. l finally agreed to a return go. Jimmy Coffroth offered us fattering induce ments to fight again at his club in Colma, and after some argument over details I agreed to give the negro an. other chance.
 The third and last fight with Cans was decided on Admission day, Sept. 9.
 Eddie Smith of Oakland oflciated aa referee. For the first time in my life I entered the ring an overwhelming favorite in the betting. The betting was just the opposite of the Fourth of July meeting. At that time if you wanted to bet on me you could prac- tically write your own ticket. In the present fight if you wanted to bet on the negro you could write your own ticket and there would be no questions asked.
 Practically all the betting that was done was on the number of rounds the negro would last. In the July fight l made two bets with him-one of $500 against $1,OOo that would win the contest, the other $500 even money I would last twenty rounds. When was making the bet I considered il about the same thing as robbing a mans safe. Nevertheless 1t was Cans who put the bet up to me, and l nat urally accepted it.
 In the September fight I offered the negro the same bets that he offered me in the other match. only was the favorite this time, but he refused tC consider them.
 Nelson Threatens His Opponent.
 Before commencing the battle ] walked over to Cans corner and re minded him of the dirty, mean, con temptible, foul methods he used in the sixteenth round of our last battle. when he tried to push, me through the ropes and possibly injure me for life by so doing.
 I warned him that if he attempted any of those tricks or resorted to any unfair means during the battle he would get all that was coming to him.
 If Cans had any hope of winning this battle before we entered the ring he lost 1t all right there He seemed to turn white" with fright.
 At the end of the twentieth round it was noticed that Cans shook hands with his manager, Benny Selig, ai much as to say, "Well, I won," mean. ing he lasted twenty rounds and won his twenty round money.
 Joe's time after that was very short lived. In the twenty y-frst round he went out with a spirit of do or die, taking a chance of mixing for the first time during the entire fight. with hopes of either landing a lucky punch or being laid away, thus ending his suffering.
 He certainly bumped into several good hard punches by taking that
