The Spirit Of
Christmas

Long years ago Shakespeare put
some fascinating words into the mouth
of Hamlet, words full of old legend
and tradition, as when he refers to the
"cock growing for Christmas" as it
used to be called. The prince Of Den
mark says:
Some say that ever 'gainst that season
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated
The bird Of dawning singeth all night
long,
And then, they say. no spirit can walk
abroad.
The nights are wholesome. then no plan
cts strike,
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm.
So hallowed and SO gracious is that time.
Every one feels in that subconscious
region Of himself commonly known as
the heart that the time is really hal
lowed and a gracious one, but his mind
may tell him that to many the time is
not so gracious as II. might be. Only
to the few perhaps has Christmas ever
been gracious, but there are newly
arisen classes who have not even at
tanned unto the merriment which was
a conspicuous feature Of past Christ
masses. These have never had it. and
even those born in more ample circum-
stances who would be expected to I'M
derstand these things appear to have
lost somewhat of the art of Christ
mastide IL not altogether its essential
spirit.
"Good will toward men" is even now
| not Of universal application, so that
there is still ample room for the exer-
else Of hope. Christmas is the one
day in the year when the whole world
seems to feel simultaneous longing
for what might be. One who under
stands the meaning Of modern thought
has written. .'All this world is heavy
with the promise Of greater things.
and a day will come-one day in the
unending succession Of days-when
beings who are now latent in our
thoughts and hidden in our loins will
stand upon this earth as one stands
upon footstool and laugh and reach
out their hands among the stars. !"
This longing for distant ideal is the
same feeling which surges over one in
the presence Of splendid sea view
with wide, unknown horizons. 1t is a
feeling which will not be repressed at
the dawn Of a beautiful summers day.
This spirit Of hope plays great If
not always fully recognized part in a
successful Christmas. The spirit of
Christmas is largely composed Of
hope. Hope is, in fact, one of those
fundamental motive forces in man
which help to make Christmas posi-.
BILE to him, and proper use Of this
force will do wonders with Christmas.
A conscious effort to see the sparkle
Of the candles rather than the pink
grease upon the floor is another won
der worker, and the taking of DELHI
crate thought for the morrow on the
part Of those who play Santa Claus to
the young fails in this case to bring
any penalties in its train. Many have
wished after visit to the toy fairy.

bricklayer makes eight motions in set

hour. whereas the same thing can be
done equally we'll by three motions
and the result be an increase to $50
in the number OF bricks paid per hour,
the economic benefit is self-evident.
Such has been actually effected. Even
in the lowest kind OF manual labor,
such as the moving Of pigiron, 1t has
been found possible to triple, and
even to quadruple. the accomplish

retical estimates. They are actual re-

Facts About Pens.

Confuscius used a hair brush for a
pen and his ancestors for centuries
before his time. The reed came in
to use for writing in the marshy
countries Of the Orient. 1t was hol-
low and cut in short lengths with
sharpened ends, and was some i'm
provement on the hair pin.
The value of the quill was dis
covered at an early date in the his

spread from the East over Europe
and then to the New World. Be-

than 25. 000. 900 quilts for pens.

A recent outbreak Of diphtheria at

WILD ORGIES IN NEW GUINEA

In the morning they would return ex-
tremely drunk, and fights used to be
the result.
Sometimes these fights lasted for
two days at a time. In our vicinity
they more often than not took place
at night. The natives then made such
an indescribable din with their howl

BREAD CAME BACK BUTTERED
Loan Of -, Long Forgotten, That
Was Returned With $1,000
Interest.

About a year ago Fred T. Redmond.
q resident of North Platte, Neb.. was
approached by a man who was
tots. stranger to him and who asked
him for the loan of four bucks, says
the Boston Post.
The stranger explained that he was
dead broke, but that he figured that
II he could raise four simoleons he
could purchase a railroad ticket to a
point where work awaited him and
would have 81 left, which, II invested
judlciousl$, would enable him to re-
coup his lost fortunes.
Redmond laughed mirthfully In the
strangers face at first and told him
he was not In the habit of lending
coin to every Thomas. Richard and
Harry that came along. especially un-
less the loan was secured by first
mortgage or otherwise.
The stranger pleaded so hard. how.
ever, and In such a touching" way
that Redmond at last slipped him the
81, wished hin good luck and told the
bookkeeper to charge II to profit and
loss.
The other day Redmond received
certified check from the stranger for
$1,0O4-$4 being the original loan and
the $1,000 the interest which the Dor
rover had figured on the same.
After Redmond was resuscitated he
pinched himself black and blue to find
out II he had been dreaming-then he
got the check cashed.
