stove. and made up his mind to wait out
there ill Mary got up and and he would
jump out at her and gould beat her again.
At 4 o'clock, Mary got up and went
quietly into Johns room and went under
the bed, She did not notice that John had
got up already,
At s O'Clock their mother got up and
made fire in the kitchen and set the table
I'M the dining room, but she never noticed
John behind the Stove, for he was as stili
as a mouse.
When his mother went out of The room
John went into Mary's room, for he was
tired of standing and was astonishCd wi.en

rouched there in It's misery, waiting for
death. Mary, shaming the boys till they
sneaked off behind a barn, stopped down
and stroked the kitten tenderly. Then, as
the little thing did not try to get away,
she picked it up in her arms and went
homewards as fast as she could run.
When she entered the living room she
was a little surprised at the sight she be-
held. There, seated in a comfortable chair,
his hat on the floor beside him, was the
poor old man she had befriended in the
alley, and talking to him as though he
were an old friend, was Mrs. Stone, And
while she talked she busted herself maxi
ing a cup OF tea for him.
Now, Mary had expected her mother to
find some light employment for the old

The Visit of Santa Claus

BY Dorothy Taylor, Aged 0 Years, Abbott.
Neb. Blue Side.
One Christmas eve two girls were sitting
with their father and mother in a log
cabin. The father was a wood cutter ana
their mother washed for the rich people.
The two girls said to each other: II
wonder II we will get anything this
Christmas?' Their mother heard them
and told them they would not get any
thing, for they were too poor to buy any
thing. When they woke up in the morning
their stockings were fun Of things.
They went and told their mother. When
they went into the kitchen there was a
lot OF things to eat on the table. Their
mother and father were glad and the two
girls were happier than they ever had
been.

Year

BY Bruce Taylor, Aged 10 Years, Abbo.,
Neb, Blue Side.
Tommy was a little boy of 6 years. And
he had been very naughty. So for New
Years day he got for his dinner some
bread and water, and he was locked in his
room. while his sister got all the candy
and other good things, And so next day,
he said he would never be naughty again.
But his sisters doll was lying on the floor
and no pulled her hair off, and. for doing
It, he got his own pulled, and this time no

than the other girls. But she never knew
who gave them to her.

IF you want to know more of the

A half thousand other just as

actresses and many great managers
were quoted to point out the immoral
tendencies of the modern theatre. In
dealing with the dance dancing mas
ter after dancing master and many
social and official leaders were called
upon to give support to his argu-
ments as to the immoral tendency of
the dance.
No effort will be made to give a
complete review of the startling dis
course but below we give few ex-
cerpts CLEANED by the writer from the
sermon last night:
The greatest hindrances to the
American church today are cards,
dancing and the theatre
The church members who defend
these evils either have broken their
church vows or did not mean them
when they made them"
The man or woman who disre-
CARDS his or her church VOWS is a
disgrace to the pastor and TO the
church"
Il see in your papers that little
town near here is using a Sunday
rabbit hunt scheme to boost it. Think
of it, God pity any town that has
such set of boosters behind it"
The bible doesn't say you must
not dance, play cards, attend theatres,
but 1T does say keep yourself un-
spotted from the world and do all
things in the name of Jesus"
Il want you to point to a single
man or woman in this city who
dances or. play cards who is winning
souls to Christ"
No Christian can engage in card
playing without losing his or her in
fluence as a Christian"
Many unsaved people say that it
is wrong to play cards"
Much of social card playing is
nothing short of gambling. When
property, however small. changes
ownership through the luck of cards,
that is gambling. 1t matters not
whether that property is money or a
loving cup, stick pin or piece of
cut glass"
There are two classes of gamb-
ling. One finds its setting in a dirty
back room filled with curses and to-
bacco smoke, with men playing for
jack pot. The other finds its set
ing in many of our fashionable
homes, with men and women In fine
dress, with either money or prizes for
the winners. If one is gambling the
other is gambling. The woman who
wins the prize at whist or euchre
party is just as guilty of gambling as

POINTS and POINTERS,
PICKED UP IN
PASSING.
(By Sam. C. Sloane.)

Some pointers for prospective con-
verts:
Do not think your character will
be changed ''in the twinkling OF an
eye"
Placing your name on the church
roll will not constitute conversion.
You will never he converted till
you change your ways, from wicked
ness to righteousness.
Remember that mere participation
in church forms and ceremonies does
not constitute Christianity.
Partaking of the sacrament is no
proof of a change OF heart. A change
of heart can be proven only by right
living at all times.
Do not forget that real Christian
ity is good for "a hours each day. 7
days each week. So weeks each year
and all the years of your life.
You can better reveal your Chris
by quiet good deeds than by loud
prayers.
The place to prove your Christian
ity is in your home, in your business
and in all your relations with your
fellow men.
Looking out upon the world with
solemn gaze is no proof of Christian
ity: cheerful word and happy
smile are far better evidence
Charity for the frailties of others
and an effort to uplift. are better
proof of Christianity than a sancti-
monious condemnation.
A holier-than-thou bearing does
not carry with it conviction in the
minds of others that you are what
such bearing would indicate.
dollar bestowed in worthy char
ity is better proof of Christianity
than a thousand spent for big
church organ.
No one truly converted will fail
to pay every honest debt and fulfil
every contract made.
Kind words in everyday life are
better signs of Christianity than the
te deum or doxology.
Keeping the hands out of other
peoples pockets is better Christianity
than dipping the fingers and touch
ing the forehead or making the sign
of the cross.
To dry the tear of sorrow and put
hope where despair is reaches far
ther towards heaven than the tall
est church spire ever erected by the
hand of man.
The low, sweet voice of love is
more enhancing than the gtandest
swells OF the greatest church organ
ever made.
The only prayers for a better heart
ever answered are those answered by
the ones who make them.
Listening more for the ringing of
the church bell than for the calls of
help by your fellow men is not an
evidence of conversion to Christian
ity
Prayer without works is not pray
er-neither does II indicate true
Christian heart.
An announced desire for conver-
sion, accompanied by the practice of
the virtues, is a better start than the
claim that your conversion has been
accomplished
And do not forget, You can never
be converted-you must convert your
self. 1t cannot be done by another
And. lastly if you are really and
truly converted. you will stay so.

Prosecuting At erney Alleges That Railroad Carried Goods into Ok

Fort Smith.-The St. Louis X San Francisco railroad company has filed suit in the federal court here to ep- jon the prosecuting attorney of Washington county and the members of the state railroad commission from proceeding further in the case against the railroad company in which it is being sued to collect a fine of $6,000 for an alleged violation of an order Of the commission.
 The order of the state railroad com mission which the prosecuting attor- hey alleges was violated is one pro- viding that when goods are shipped from one point to another within the state the railroad over which the goods are shipped shall forward the goods by the cheapest route. The shipment in question was one from Fayetteville to a point in the south western part of the state. It is al legged that the goods were sent from Arkansas into Oklahoma and back again to the Arkansas point of deliv- cry, distance of 250 miles, at a rate of 23 cents, but that the ship ment could have been routed entire ly within the state, the distance by such routing being 400 miles and the rate 12 cents.
