HENRY ID. SPEAKMAN.
Newark. n / Dec. D. loIn


My dear Brother Speakman:
With the greetings of the season, |
must report that the case when opened
was found to be very nicely packed and
contents all in perfect order.
| opened and unpacked the case and,
by appointment, Capt. Lunger called at
my home this a. III. at 10 o'clock.
had tied the packages up into four
bundles, and we each gathered up one
in each hand and started for the car.
the conductor asked us what family was
going to get all those packages, and we
told him our family. Well, the kiddics
We're all excitement when we arrived and
could hardly wait until the bundles were
united.
Morris began to feel sorry for the last
one to get his on account Of the suspense
he would suffer, but that was arranged
by leaving the matron until last.
Every one was pleased with their
gifts, but. of course, as all human nature
is graded, SO it appeared in this case as
some were more enthusiastic than others.
One little girl was particularly pleased
with her doll and named it Daisy with
the golden hair and how she did seem
to love it, The boys that got footballs
kept me busy for about an hour blowing
them up and adjusting the laces in the
covers.
The little fellow that got the train
of cars was still playing with them
when we left.
The boots and gloves fit all right.
But the most pathetic part of it was
the two brothers, one blind and the
other lame, they had separate tree
down in the basement and the lame boy
took his and the brothers presents down
stairs as soon as received. Later We
went down and there saw the lame boy
showing his engine to the blind brother.
The blind boy had tried on the boots and
said they just fit. The little boy that
got the magic lantern came down stairs
also to show it to the blind boy.
Everybody happy and Morris Lunger
can prove it. With very best wishes.
believe me, yours as ever,
BILLIE TAYLOR.

CULTIVATE CHEERFULNESS

To cultivate cheerfulness is Just as
necessary as to cultivate ability and the
prevention OF cure of despondency is just
as important as the prevention or cure
of disease. A Respondent mind is sick
mind; and sick mind is more of an
obstacle than sick body. No one can
afford to live on any other side than the
sunny side: because all other sides means
sickness, failure and death If our OBJ
ject in life is progress, growth, advance
ment and perpetual increase, we must
annihilate dependency in all its phases,
and permanently establish i'll It's
place the state Npf everlasting joy.
Happiness is the normal state cf mind.
When your mind is in perfect health,
it is always happy; healthy mind
could not be otherwise than happy. The
despondent mind cannot do its work
properly; thousands of cases of intern
perance and crime can be traced to it,
and tens of thousands of failures had
their beginnings in the same source.
Consequently, to overcome despondency
and all phases of unhappiness is mat
ter of the greatest Importance, and one
which should receive the attention of all
who are interested in the welfare Of
humanity .Oyerwork,' is often classed
as one of the causes of this condition,
but not properly. Discord, worry, anger,
fear, are the destroyers Of physical vi
tality-not work.
