HE SEASON OF GOOD CHEER

fHE SEASON OF GOOD CHEER.
Christmas is at hand It is the time
for good cheer and is significant as be
ing the advent of Christ, born in stable
Iat Bethlehem, and who triunphed over
death and the grave as the Saviour of
mankind.
1t is a day sanetihed by love, that one
thing which sways the human mind and
the hgpan heart the emotion, gift
from GAidy,which q1les the world and
makes the whole VI sld kim
But say the scientists of today and the
erabid individual, a ilure in life, Love
IS sentiment, a sped ties of nonsense
which no onek IA Fan explain to an
other, but VI SN love and senti-
me- A m wys1d would be as desert and
there would be little in life worth the
living.
1t is at Christmas time, when senti-
1nent holds full sway when Love repeats
and proclaims the greeting of the Christ
mas morn, ION earth, peace to men
good will
And then with Christmas is associated
that great and most venerated of beings,
the wonderful Santa Claus" whose ex-
istence is beyond the reckoning of years
but who, moved by the spirit of Love,
comes annually, if mysteriously, laden
with sentiments of joy which sinking
deep in the child's heart, is rekindled
annually throughout the vicissitudes of
life to the end, at the grave.
If to the mind mature Santa Claus is
myth, how 1oveful is this innocent de
fusion to the child
We hold it to be a crime to dispel the
fancy for the cold, materialistic fact.
The JOY Of the child is in the anticipa-
ton, and we should be mindful that the
realization of the truth viii be too soon.
With Christmas there comes an in
spiration to all minllind which is felt in
the mansion of the millionaire as well as
in the howell of the poor.
AS day of good cheer, of peace on
earth, to men good will, there is a silent
appeal. DO not forget the poor" as it
is the season Of good cheer when happi-
ness should sweep over the earth.
How grateful we should all be that
there is Christmas.
How dull ard prosy would life be
without this day of good cheer.
The mortal without sentiment is to be
pitied, but fortunately no human being
is free from emotion, and even as the
atheist, who during life time has vast
ed his energies in his failure to disprove
the existence 4of God, yet at his last
breath appeals to the Almighty for Di-
vine Love So is the mortal inn
potent in his efforts at blighting
the joys of childhood. and finally
can not escape the realism of the
day, if not in the inspiration of his ten
der years. at least in the realization that
Christmas is the greatest day of the
year, the day which gives the greatest
pleasure to all mankind His scofing is
as breath wasted on the desert air.
In the observation of the day let Love
govern and have full sway since it is
day for rejoicing and of good cheer.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

"A liz BKClHERF1OOD III MAN
Dodson Times: The brotherhood OF
man is the most fertile of all truths.
Whatever is good in modern civilization
comes from accepting it; whatever is
bad, by denying it Democracy is the
teaching of Jesus expressed in govern
ment, but thus far the expression has
been timid, tentative and inadequate.
Inventions will make it possible to ex-
press his teachings in industry and COM
nnerce. Some wholesale softening of
the heart will make us apply his teach
ing in conduct There are psychic waves
now permeating the world which seems
TO indicate that some such transforma-
ton Of civilization may not be far away.
Perhaps the kingdom of heaven is near
er than we think with brotherly love for
its constitution and justice to all men
for its practice. Then Gethsemane and
the crown of thorns will become sym
bois not of tragic failure, but of tri-
unph, and the Christmas spirit will be
the spirit of every day in the year.

Commits Suicide
Leonard Freeman Blows the TOP
Of His Head Of With a
Shotgun.

Last Thursday night Leonard
Freeman, aged about forty years
committed suicide by blowing the
top of his head off with a shot
gun loaded with No. 4 shot
Freeman was living with Viii.
Ludington just across the creek
from the spring. He had been in
very poor health for long time,
and became respondent. He was
without means for medical aid
for treatment, and suffered a
great deal. He left a note which
said: II would rather die than
suffer death. Ill health is the
cause"
Freeman went to Joplin last
Thursday, and when he got back
he went directly to the house,
loaded up the shotgun and pulled
off his shoes. AS near as can be
figured out he held the shotgun
in both hands and pulled off the
trigger with his toes. Will Lud-
ington cams home a few minutes
afterward and opened the door.
He struck a match and saw the
body of Freeman on the floor.
He at once came to town and got
Marshal Horton, who went over.
Freeman was breathing yet when
Horton arrived, but died in few
moments. Coroner English view.

The brains of the dead man
were scattered all over the room
where he killed himself, some oi
the brains sticking to the ceiling,
which is low. One eye was shot
away with the top of the head.
The remains were inferred the
next day. Freeman was unmar'
ried.

Bert Duncan Dead.
Trips on Torn Stair Carpet and
Dies From Injuries Received.

Bert Duncan, an old Baxter
boy, is dead. He was at Clare
more, Okla, where he had gone
with his wife for the benefit of
his health, and while coming
down stairs from his room the
fore part of last week he caught
his foot in a stair carpet and fell
to the bottom. At first it was
not thought he was badly hurt,
but some parties who saw the ac-
cident, noticing he did not get
up, went to his assistance, and
discovered he was injured. Just
how badly he was hurt was not
ascertained at once, but his wife
was called and she had him taken
to a hospital. An investigation
revealed the fact that his skull
was fractured. He was not un-
conscious long,and it was thought
he would recover, but in a few
hours he suffered a sinking spell,
and it was seen that his recovery
was doubtful, and his relatives
we're notified. He fingered until
about two o'clock Monday morn
ing, when he passed away. His
mother and brother from Mount
Gilead, Ohio, we're present when
he passed away. His father was
at Long Beach, Cal, but will be
here to the funeral, which will
be held Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
Bert Duncan was a good heart
ed boy and he had a large circle
of friends. He had always been
in poor health, but he tried tO
keep cheerful. Only a short time
ago he told the writer that he
was going to try to get a farm
and 60 into the stock business,
He said he never expected to be
able to work very hard, but wal
Iof the opinion he could raisG
stock and perhaps enjoy better
ihealth out in the open.
Bert Duncan was a kind hus-
band, and the sympathy Of the
commnnity goes out to the wife
IA her bereavement.

Hazel Marguerite Robinson,
little daughter of J. W. and May
Robinson, died at the family
home in this city last Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The lit
tie girl had been i'll for some
time, and although all was done
that could be done to save her
life it was in vain. The child
was born in Pittsburg, Kansas,
June "a, 1903, and was at the
time of her death seven years,
three months and twenty-nine
days old. Funeral services were
held at the home on Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock, after which
the remains were taken to Waco,
Mo-, for interment.
Some afidavitS made recently
might shed some light on few
matters of general interest to the
taxpayers. Dan Boyce, chair
man of the board of county COM
missioners, deposes and says on
his oath that since the appoint
ment of an assistant attorney
general the county has paid in
fees in liquor cases the sum Oi
$27S2.77, $1s32.2O being district
court cases and S950.57 being
justice court cases. County Treas
urer John Ryan, being sworn or
his oath says not a singiesolitary
red cent has been covered into
county treasury from fines II
liquor cases. In other words
since the installation of an as
sistant attorney general by Mr.
Jackson the proposition has beer
one of fee grabbing and nothing
else. To be plain about it, i
Mr.. Bootlegger would pay the
costs and parole fees he could g
and sin some more. Before th'
assistant attorney general wal
appointed the county was thu
dryest it had been for years, and
since light has been shed on thu
fee grabbing methods of power
higher up, there is the wiides
alarm and CONSERVATION IN th'
fee grabbing camp. Mr.. Major
