A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

In one of his letters to Charles Eliot
Norton. Ruskin complains thus of Dick
ens's conception of Christmas: His
Christmas meant mistletoe and pud-
ding, never resurrection from the dead
nor the rising of new stars, nor the
teaching of wise men, nor shepherds
Certainly there is a real difference be-
tween the Christmas mood in which
nothing counts so much as eating and
drinking, as gift-making and gift-taking,
and the mood which leads one 20 rise
into the atmosphere of the great Chris
tan traditions associated with the fest-
val. If our age has become so sclentihc
that it has lost its craps on that tradition
it is so much the poorer. And it were
pity to deprive children of the charm ana
inspira tion of it, to lead them to INFER
that the end and aim of Christmas Is
toy debauch," as John Burroughs in an
article in the Independent characterlzes
the situation in many homes today. For
tunately, the children themselves will not
let these mystic elements vanish. Their
simple, trusting spirits respond to the
stories of the angels, the shepherds ana
the wise men, to the halo about the
cradle in the lowly stable AND we VINO
are older need not be overwise. whether
the supernal light that shines on the
face of Mary's babe was but the renee
ton of the love and reverence toward MN
that grew up in a later time or whether
that light was an original part of the
pomp and ceremony with which the son
of God was ushered into the world, In
either case the glory of the Lord was
there. and we are in the presence OF that
which is wonderful, mysterious, DIVINE
And it is a sorry and a meagre Christmas
into which there comes no hint OF the
radiance of that first Christmas morning.

Christmas Is the Birthday of one VINO
Never Gave to the World Dollar.

Tn the December WOman's Home Com
nanion. DIR. Charles f. Jefferson, pastor
Of the Broadway Tabernacle in New
York. writes a great Christmas sermon.
one of the eloquent passages in 1t fol-
lows o,-.-.
at is worth remembering that CHRIST
mas is the birthday of Jesus, the man
who never gave the world uoiiar; ne
bestowed upon mankind not solitary
material gift He carved no statue,
painted no picture, wrote no poem, COM
\nosed no song, fashioned no piece OF
iewelrv. built no edifice, founded no city,
erected no triumphal arch; but He stands
in history as the great Giver. SILVER
and gold He had none but such as he
had He gave to men, the gentle touch
of a sympathetic hand, the golden glow
of a genial mind, the healing love of a
qenerous heart. the bracing energy of a
coura geous spirit. Paul calls Him God
rJnspeakable Gift The best thing God
Is able to give us is not gold or silver,
or costly stones, but Himself
ct is when we give of the things of
the spirit that we escape from the realm
of embarassments and burdens Into a
spiritualized Christmas we everyone can
enter. the rich and the poor, the high
and the low, the small and the great.
"In preparing, then, our Christmas
nresents let us get ready to give some
of the things which Jesus gave. Along
with the many gifts which have prices,
LET us give a few which are priceless
Let us give thought to someone who
needs it, sympathy to someone who
Graves 1t, praise to someone who de-
serves it but does not get it, kindness to
someone whom the world has over
looked. affection to someone who is
starving for it, inspiration to someone
who is fainting because of the lack OF
il. ones Christmas does not consist II
the abundance of the things which he
receives or gives away but in the spiri
of good will which fills his heart"

THE WISE MEN.

We have followed thee afar, o Star,
Not knowing where thou leadest us.
In blindness, oft
In joy and pain
Through heavy mist
And falling rain.
And now at last
over the Christ Child's bed
In rapt beholding,
We see His shining face,
The halo round His head;
In worship sweet.
We kneel adoring
And hear the heavenly chorus
Praying that we may reVerent be,
GLORY to God" rings out the song
"And on earth peace
Good will to men"

When we read in the dailies

When we read In the dailies
how the young Republicans swore
allegiance to President Taft Satur-
day, we felt very much like the
man without a country. But we
know we have Saline county back
OF US yet and We posi- lively will
not endorse Mr.. Taft's policy or
vote for him again or advise any
one else doing so. We can't make
our stand more plain. The Re-
publican party has a principle that
must be upheld and no amount
of bluffing will swerve an honest
Republican from 1t, and time will
prove that the principle OF protect
ion and honest government Is the
right one.

One OF our Democratic readers
told this on another Democrat
Saturday. He says the man has
a good offer o. a span of mules
and Ia holding the buyer off on
various pretexts till he can finish
breaking his corn land and is
working hard to accomplish 1t
quickly. We asked him why the
man Is 30 anxious to sell his mules
and ne admitted that he looked
for a "slump" in the mule mar
iet and wanted to be on the safe
aide. We have no fault to find
with our Democratic friends, but
wish everyone of them owned a
dozen good mules and that when
they voted the values OF those
mules down they'd all have a
chance TO kick their owners to
their hearts content.

A great argument in favor oi
Canadian reciprocity was sprung
by many Democratic papers last
week. They said that II the reci-
procity prospect caused wheat
prices to fall II would have caused
barley prices to do the same. We
know very little about barley, but
II Canadian barley was a drug on
their market and IL had prospects
OF coming free to this country II
would naturally go up to the ex-
tent OF the duty Mt least. We wish
some editors would bump their
heads long enough to find out on
which end their brains are.
