The God of All Comfort.

God reveals himself in flowers,
and the songs of birds, and the
music of books, and the sunshine Of
summer days, and the golden har-
vest fields of autumn, but so he
also does in clouds and storms and
the ocean waves that thunder
against the cliffs and through the
ages roll bOulderS down to pebbles.
All nature is a manifestation of
God, but his glory therein is often
yelled. There are times when the
sunshine brings no comfort. The
man that is starving to death on a
fragment of wreck adrift on the
ocean cannot be sustained by
thoughts of the grandeur. or even
the beauty CT creation. The moth
er whose boy has been drowned in
the sea naturally thinks of it as a
vast and cruel grave, though 1t is
really Unreasonable in abundance
of its benefCence. The utilities
and the poetry Of nature cannot
comfort human hearts in their
loneliness and agony. The God OF
all comfort is clearly revealed only
in Christ, the suffering, Sympathiz,
ing, infinitely loving Savior. Only
love can cast out fear. Comfort is
found only in the heart of God

Ed Byrd plowed up a white mole,
a very rare find. Mr.. Byrd had it
stuffed and it looks natural as life,
1t is claimed by some that the mole
has no eyes. We might accept this
part of history to be true, but from
the facts founded on observation in
previous time, that in planting pc.
tatoeS, if they are planted in the
dark of the moon the moles can't
see how to eat them; so this is
proof that the mole can see only in
the light of the moon.

A Statement

That the newspapc-. Monroe
City have been loyal to this town
no one will deny. During the past
twelve months the publisher of
each paper has kept out advertls-
ing from merchants OF other towns
to the value of from $500 to $500,
this in an effort to keep trade at
home.
There have not been more than
two weeks during the present year
when the amount of advertising
met the expense Of getting out the
paper
Several instances could be cited
where copy" for ad, with check &C
companying, was returned, while the
home merchant declined to adver-
tise.
This is not a slap at any one. We
are appreciative of the patronage
of everyone, whether it be little or
much.
1T is a condition, not a theory
that confronts US, and in the flu
ture, while giving the home mer-
chant the preference, we shall ac-
cept and run any legitimate adVer-
Using from any and all persons
who pay the regular advertising
rate

The Democrats and Wool.

Whether the Democrats stood for
free raw wool, as a minority of the
house caucus demanded, or for a
reduction in the duty to 20 per cent
ad valorem, as the majority decided
was not very material; nor is it
material whether their bill cuts the
duties on wool manufactures SIS
per cent or only as.
Schedule X was correctly deScrib-
ed by Senator Aldrich as the "cita-
del of protection" With the ex-
ception of less than three years I'M
der Cleveland's second administra-
ton, when the Democrats threw it
out of gear with the Wilson act, it
has been in operation very much
as at present for more than forty
years; and during all that time it
has been one of the main pivOts of
the high protection.
Since the passage of the Dingley
act the average duty on raw wool
has been about SO per cent and on
wool manufacturers more than 80
! per cent. If the Democrats can cut
these duties in half, and prune
away the thickets of jokers which

James Mudd is a man of expert

how he escaped without injury from
his last experience. Wednesday
morning while unloading goods from
his dray at E. L. Andersons grocery
store he lost his balance and fell
into the basement and a go pound
tub of butter fell on him. Jim got
to his feet at once and proceeded
with his work as if nothing unusual
had occurred. His only comment
was that it took real accident to
stop him,

Never forget the danger of it
when you are using gasoline. 1t is
not enough that there be no flame
in the room where you are clean
ing with it; the gas given off by the
liquid has been known to leap twen-
ty feet to a flame. With the doors
shut, it can 60 through an open
transom and cause an explosion. 1t
is best to use it for cleaning only in
the open air, and while a gasoline
stove is next best in convenience
to gas stove, only a careful cook
should ever be allowed to use one.

New Forestry School at the Univer-
sity.
A forward step in the cOnserva-
ton of Missiouri's resources has
been taken by the University of
Missouri in the appointment of
Professor J. A. Ferguson, Of State
College Pennsylvania, to the posi-
ton of Professor of Forestry in the
College of Agriculture. Professor
Ferguson is a graduate of Yale
Forestry School, and has for nearly
two years been head of the Depart
ment of Forestry at State College
Pennsylvania.
The College of Agriculture owns
fifty thousand acres of forest lands
in the southern part of Missouri. 1t
is planned to utilize these lands as
an outdoor laboratory for the in
struction in practical forestry. 1t
! is probable that a portion Of the
forestry instruction will be given
on these forest lands. A large num-
Der of applications for forestry in
struction are already on file and it
is anticipated there will be large
enrolment of students at the be-
ginning of the University year.

old Sanity this time, didn't you2 And
he came especially TO find ,out what
you wanted him to bring down the
chimney"
'Wallingford! How in the name Of
all that's possible did you get here2"
Dick Elkins, an old chum of New
York days, stood in the doorway and
held out a glad hand of welcome
A weight of relief fell from Walling
ford's shoulders. He was no longer
stranger in a strange house, And did
he imagine 1t, or did glad light come
also into the eyes Of the woman?
How about yourself?" he asked
when they had shaken hands.
This is my own house and my own
sister," laughed Elllins. But where
in the world did you and Mrs Vale
strike up an acquaintance" He cast

Sylvia glanced quickly at Walling.
ford and a deep blush mingled with
the glow from the fire in her cheeks,
She explained the circumstances and
Wallingford was quickly made to feel
that he had come to the right house.
81 will stay under one condition
only" he said finally, and that is that
you all will accept, without protest,
the Christmas gifts which l brought
for my sister and her family-with-
out question"
There was a moments silence and
the promise was made, laughingly.
But we will have to return the ia
vor," brother and sister spoke as one
voice.
So it was decided
TOO bad Vale couldn't get here"
remarked Elkins, later in the evening
when, the small boy having been
tucked into bed, the three sat about
the blazing fire.
"Yes-we would have made a jolly
quartet" said Sylvia.
Wallingford was almost guilty of a
gasp. The calm, unconcerned way in
which she remarked that her husband
would have completed a quartet on
Christmas eve had he been able to get
there, was rather disconcerting.
Dick Ell1ins arose and left the room
to get the boys toys.
Bring down the suitcase in my
ROOM" cried Wallingford. He was as
excited as a boy.
You will not regret having prom
ised to accept what I had bought for
my sister," Wallingford leaned
slightly toward Sylyia's gray dress
and through the strands Of her golden
hair, and the man in him had a strug-
gle before quenching the light in his

But don't you see that there is a
Santa Clans! He isn't man in fur
coat, and a reindeer sleigh and all
that, but he is the Spirit of Christmas,
isn't he? They've personified that
and made a saint OF him and invented
legends about him-for the children,
but when we're no longer children and
don't believe in him, we still have
that Christmas spirit-and it's that
that gives presents and makes us feel

as he might have cast It 10 the depths
of the sea; II would do him as much
good there as It would in his pocket
under the present circumstances
Walllngford was reconciled to a
Christmas dinner over lunch coun-
ter when his eye caught the name Of
Yankville. Yankville probably boast
ed a near-thousand inhabitant, yet
YaRkville also suggested the name Of
Everly-Jack Everly, When Walling-
ford had last heard of Jack Everly
the latter was located in Yankville.
That was some eighteen months be-
fore, but there was no reason why he
should not be there still
Il seemed that everyone in Yank-
vile knew the Everly home"'ead. It
was the only one Of any proportions
In the village.
The red glow from an open fire
within cheered Wallingfords numbed
faculties as he rang the bell at the
Eyerly door.
On the face of her who opened the
door, surprise was the principal ex-
preston. For, Walllngford, his six
feet-two encased in a great fur coat
all dangling with glistening snow
beads and his handsome glowing face
looking frankly into her own, was a
surprise for any eyes.
She did not wait for him to explain
his errand but with the matron's priv
ilege of hospitality invited him into
the warmth of the house.
'1t was too cold to stand outside"
she explained and waited for his
question.
Il am Bob Wallingford," he began
meeting the easy cordial expression
Of her blue eyes. II am one of the
belated passengers of the bridge tie
up and decided to run over and see If
Jack Everly would take pity on an
old friend and"
Jack Everly left Tankville,"
smile played about her lips at men
tion of the illustrious village, "some
six or seven months ago"
Embarrassment disappointment and
surprise mingled equally in Walling-
ford's face and did not escape the
eyes of Sylvia Vale. She spoke with
ready tact.
Take off that great coat, anyway,
and come into the fireside. It's no
night to be out"
Wallingford followed the slim gray
clad figure in a decidedly chaotic
state of mind. Mingled with his en-
barrassment at having walked into
an absolute strangers house, was the
sudden attraction he felt for this girl
with the sun-lit hair. Something-the
perhaps-was making him
feel like a tongue-tied schoolboy It
was a most unusual state Of mind for
Bob Wallingford
There was patter Of little feet
and a tiny boy of three years threw
himself into Wallingford's arms.
"Oh-h! Are you Santa CLAUSE" he
cried gleefully. 81 heard your sleigh
bells and saw your big fuzzy coat!
Mamma, isn't he Santa CLAUSE"
The childs mother would have
spoken but Wallingford's eyes plead
ed for silence.

stocking, "he always spoke of the day
when he could do this" The end
of her sentence was drowned in the
clatter of huge box of blocks drop
ping to the hearthstone.
"Cheer up" said Wallingford;
wooden blocks don't break"
He stopped to pick the fallen toys
and wondered if the woman pinning
up the stocking beside him heard the
humping of his heart. A small box
found it's way into Sylvia's hand.
Mrs. Vale, I can't keep this anoth-
er minute" Wallingford said.
