SUNDAY, JUNE, II, 1910.
This day shall words pursue
Their path like arrows true.

The Sun rules powerfully this
day for high things, for spirit
ItuaIity and nobility and for
thoughts and actions apart from
the material life Of every day.
The best aspects Of the per-
iod are for those who do acts
dictated by generosity, love,
friendship and mercy.
Persons in authority will
profit by being charitable and
compassionate. Those who have
been wronged and have revenge
in their power, will act wisely
by refraining from its exercise,
and granting forgiveness in
stead.
These "a hours are not favor

money or advantage over
others.

The time is good, also for Sc
Letting schools for young chill
dren, picking professions or ca
reers for young persons and de-
Gliding on their future generally.
There Is a good sign ever
things that demand combined
mental acuteness and ingenuity
Of the hand and eye.
Those who are fiery Of nature
and those Whc incline to rule
and master others, will be
likely to feel these traits
greatly intensified today, and
should endeavor to control their
desires.
Beware this day Of tale bear

Witty persons should be care
full to avoid temptation toward

Hosanna

Midst the far Eastern hills on a
winters night,
As their fiocks all around them Iay
The shepherds near and far beheld a
wOndro1S star,
AS they watched for the dawn of day.
When from out the darkness pure and
sweet
Came voice with heavenly sound
And sang a glad refrian, of peace,
good will to men,
And glory shone around.
"Hosanna Hosanna - the angel
chorus sings;
"Hosanna Hosanna |" adown all the
ages rings;
"Hosanna Hosanna the tidings
ever new;
"Hosanna Hosanna - a Saviour born
to you.
Tho the song that was sung is heard
no more,
Tho the light of the star is gone,
The song was not sung in vain and
the joyous glad refrain,
In the hearts of men lives on.
To the sorrowing heart it speaks of
peace,
To the weary of joys untold;
The gift of boundless love was the
message from above
That the shepherds heard Of old.

We did not mind that some of them
had been passed before. The true
Christmas spirit was there-loving
thoughtfulness for one another. Then
there was a program. The walls of
the little schoolhouse just rang with
music, little out of time and tune
but enjoyable for all that. [ believe

dark room with an electric light
thrown upon it in such manner that
it seemed to stand out like real land

milling lips and streaming eyes,
the silence intense, the girl came
along. She gave her cud of chewing
gum an extra turn or two and then
said: "Gee! Amt that just swell?"
Let us do away with the striving for
things slangy people call "swell" and
do the simple things that come before

Christmas Season.

Already the busy world is feeling
the electrical Christmas thrill. At is
noticeable wherein the stores,
in the homes, in the faces of old and
young and even the very air seems
charged with it. There is the usual
hurry of finishing the little gifts for
those un to whom our thoughts have
turned; the preparation of many fruit
cakes, plum puddings and mince meat;
the discussion of things to wear; trees
and probable decorations all these
things tend to swell the pleasant ex-
element
Christmas should be a very, very
happy time, not because of the gifts
received or the pleasant association
with our loved one and friends, but
because within the heart there is peace
and good will toward men. 1t is what
is within us that makes us find true
enjoyment, not what we have We
love the Christmas spirit and cheer.
We would not take from one human
heart its pleasure, but Woulon IL De

OH|OAN INDICTED
IN WASHINGTON
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING TO
BRl8E PoSToFFICE
PAPER EXPERT.
DECLARES He is NOT GUILTY
Hamilton Man Attributes Affair to III
viii of Former Agent Whom He
Says Put in Claim for Com.
missions Not Due Him.

Washington, d. C.-Peter G. Thorn
son, president of the Champion
Coated Paper Co. of Hamilton, o., was
indicted by the federal grand jury on
a charge of attempting to bribe NJ. w.
p. Zanzinger, postoffice paper ex-
pert in connection with a contract for
postal card paper.
The indictment was kept secret for
day because of the desire of au-
thorities to ascertain Thomson's
whereabouts before the news of the in
who was seen here, denied the charges
that have been made against him and
attributes the whole affair to the i'll
will of a former agent whom he claims
put in a claim for commissions that
were not due him, and then set up a
case against him when payment was
refused. The accused man has en-
tered an appearance through his coun-
sci and will appear wnen wanted. The
charge against him does not specify
an attempt to bribe on his part per-
sonally. The alleged offer of bribe,
it is said. went through the mails.
Thomson's company early this year
put in bid for paper wanted by the
postoffice department for superior
grade of postal cards. Postmaster
General Hitchcock had called for bids,
his idea being to improve the quality
of the cards. Thomson was awarded
the contract and soon after he began
carrying it out it was found that large
quantities of paper were below the
standard set by the postmaster gen.
eral. An investigation was started,
and in the course of this came the
charge made by Zanzlnger that he had
been offered bribe of S100 to change
his report. The postoffice department
worked secretly on Zanzinger's dis
closure, and it was not until after an
indictment was found that the facts
were made known. So far as could
be learned the attempt at bribery was
made in Washington at the time that
Thomson's firm was delivering the
paper alleged to be below grade.
