A Merry Christmas

All over the country, all over the
world-a few years hence it will be
also all through the air-sounds the
greeting Merry Christmas! On the
sea and land, in the palace and in the
howell, in the hospitals and in the pris-
ons, in the asylums amid the orphans
and in the homes for the friendless
and for the aged, wherever even two
persons meet who know and love the
story of Christmas, the greeting is ex-
changed. Where can there be a par
allel to the universal greeting? Is
there any other sentiment that has
the sovereignty of this cheerful and
heartfelt word? 1t travels through
the mails like nothing SO much as the
doves to the affairs of which the Scrip
ture speaks, for surely the sentiment
fits from altar to altar of the hearts
of men and is as gentle as the dove.
Grudges and animosity vanish before
the waiting of Christmas greeting, the
smile of hope illumines the counte-
nances of those under the pail of de.
preston, the dimpled cheeks of the
babies seem like veritable hooks for
fairy hiding as the lips coo in response
to the Merry Christmas, with the little
emblem of the day that comes to the
! infant from it's loving parent In the
! DAYS of romance hostile forces passed
! upon the field, sheathed their swords
and clasped hands across the battle
| line, greeting one another with the
+ sentiment of universal good will
Merry Christmas has bright5ned more
i hearts, has healed more grievances
/ has brought more happiness to the
/ lives of men and women, has proved
! to be the talismanfc sentiment fol
more home reunions than any Other
that has ever been heard in this ole
world
Christmas stands for love and fol
charity, for hope and for joy at the
/ fruition of that long-made promise Of
/ the prophet of the coming of one who
should bring peace and good will tc
earth; so the churches hold their serv
! ices and the people congregate &c
| join in singing or to listen to the rem
dition of carols, some of which have
come down from the early ages of the
church The children have then
/ Christmas treats, and they are the
very merriest Of the merry in their
participation in these annual school
! festivals.

straight, with many symmetrical
boughs-just such tree as would de-
light the hearts of his children. But
he chased them away as he prepared
for his work of destruction. Taking
off his coat he rolled up his sleeves,
and with a Ratchet ruthlessly Topped
off all the branches. He eyed the re-
suit with satisfaction. Then he took
up a saw and divided the tree in the

else could the poor man do? 1t was
the only way he could make the tree
fit, for he lived in a fiat.

PERSISTENT EFFORTS or HER

PlD's DART FAILED TO STRIKE.

Herman Cook. young lad who lives
near Valley City, N. ., woke ur
from midsummer nights dream last
night to find himself in the city Jail
and all because he had persisted In
pouring his affection on a young lady
employed at the Bitou ice cream par
lors.
Hermsn's love was unrequitted but
that made no difference. He wanted
TO marry the girl and despite the
fact that he was ordered out of the
place several times, he was persistent.
He was satisfied that the course of
true love never did run smooth, but he
was more than willing to take his
chance in the matrimonial lottery.
Elections circuses or prize fights
held no claim on him. Cupid was his
only master.
There is no mistake that Cupid
made a poor shot when he threw his
dart towards the fairy lady who serves
cold drinks. There's are some who
claim that it didn't even go In her
direction at all, but that feature didn't
enter the mind of Herman Cook.
It is claimed that a couple of bar
bers played the part of Puck in the
little comedy, that they squeezed many
drops of affection liquid in Cooks
eyes and convinced him that the girl
behind the fountain was surely for him.

come in from the west to take charge

RESIDENTS URGED
TOUSEPRECAUTION
FARGO PEOPLE SHOULD SECURE
LY LOCK THEIR HOMES DURING
COMING WEEK IF LEFT VACANT
FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME
CROOKS FOLLOWING CIRCUS.

Warning to Fargo people that
they must use every care during the
next few days against the depreda-
tions of toughs that usually arrive in
city with circus was given today
by Chief Bowers Of the police depart
emit. The fact that he had received
notices from several cities recently In
which the circus has been led to the
warning given out today, these notices
being in cases wherein homes had
been successfully raided.
It is against the leaving of homes
without securely locking them that
the chief is anxious to direct the at
tention of Fargo people, for 1t is
in such cases that the thieves and
toughs that make 1t point to
follow a circus usually operate. For
instance, during the afternoon of a
circus day, they make a tour OF the
residence districts and they can read
lily gain entrance to homes when there
chances to be no one about, or when
the home has been left unlocked.
The circus management can hardly
be held responsible for the operation
of the crooks, as the management: %

This morning the police chased
several undesirable transients out Of
town, they having landed with no ap-
parent good intentions, and immedi-
ately they came under the notice of
the police, they were requested to

In addition to the circus this year,
there is also the Fourth Of July 'cele-
bration in Moorhead next Monday,
making it doubly interesting for
crooks who may chance to come this
way.
