Salvationists Carry Cheer
To Little Tots.
Monday Evening Christmas Tree
VIII be Decorated with Gifts for
All OF the Little Folks Who Need
Help.

There was more concentrated hap
piness contained in n single room on
Main street south this morning than
the average Yuletde giver could inn
agine in year of imaginings. There
was the inspiration for merry laugh
ing children. the joy songs of moth
ers humming over the Christmas
cook stove, Jne thankfulness of
father hearts glad in the merriment
of their little ones, and most of all,
there was the pean of happiness sung
By hearts that Reve. The room was
the assembly hall of the Salvation
Army. and the inspiration was sixty
baskets destined for the MONIES of the
unfortunate, the social derelict, the
widows, the orphans and all of Gods
children who have made their wants
known TO His servers.
The average basket contained: one
chicken (where there We're particu-
larly large families portion of meat
was added celery, can each of
corn, tomatoes and fruit, potatoes,
sugar, flour, coffee, bread, pickles.
butter, jelly and apples. In several
cases where families of ten and
twelve were to be supplied extra al
lowances were apportioned. Captain
Caddy simply radiated the Christmas
spirit. The destination of each bas-
ket was known to him, the wants
and needs of the recipients had been
personally investigated, and the
thought of what those baskets meant
simply overwhelmed the doughty
commander.
"Think of IT," he said, voice
husky with tears, "sixty happy homes
because of the charity of brother for
brother. Why, If never accomplish
another good in my life, shall not
have lived i'm vain, and neither will

ents to the needy. Many will give
and receive handsome remembrances
I'm their homes, but | doubt If single
gift will inspire the spirit in which
the Great Giver made the One Per-
feet Gift as will mute testimonials of
the survival I'm the hearts or men, of
that supreme sacrifice.
"And this Is not all. We are TO
have Christmas tree Monday even

gala dress in our hall, the cvergrecns
and holly and joy bells. We have
invited every child on our giving list
