CHRISTMAS DAY.
Next Monday will be Merry One in
Many Homes.


Another year has rolled around and
before the next issue or the PILOT,
Christmas, the day that carries with
it such pleasant recollectlonS, will be
with us. Memory delights to dwell
ON the happy incidents and childhood
associations of Christmas times long
past when santa" was real and his
reindeers. pack and bells were
reality, seemingly, to all OF us. The
day is the same with the young-full
of mysteries and delight. Next Mon
| day December 25th there will be
reuniting of families and long separ-
| ated friends, interchange of gifts of
love and kind remembrances and the
bringing of sunlight into desolated
homes. The nativity day of our Lord
/ will be observed in all Christian lands
and millions of homes in this free
| America will honor the day.
The best of our natures will be
| called forth, bury the Ratchet, and
do good to our enemies. IT'S well
that we select opportunity to do these
things in this happy time OF Peace on
| Earth and Good Will toward Men,"
/ To remember the poor is the slogan
of many of our charitable, generous,
warm-hearted people and already
funds are being made up by our
churches for those who are in need.
Wausau has very few in destitute
circumstances but like many cities
has some whose meagre store is not
sufficient to gladden. the hearts of
their little ones; there are those who
are alone and forgotten; others who,
perchance, one may not call worthy
poor, but who are cold and suffering
Therefore, who can should assist in
this most worthy cause and make
Christmas, 1911, one long to be re-
membered by them.
THE PILoT hopes its readers will
find, in all that the Gay implies, a
Merry Christmas.
The young society set at home and
those who are coming home from
their various schools, are anticipating
the gay holiday season socially, as
many charming affairs are scheduled.
There are to be holiday concerts, hOli-
day frolics and none need lack the
holiday spirit.
