fused to do so. The father, in course
OF time, paid the debt OF nature, and
as the years rolled on Johnson often
had the incident reproduced by his
vivid memory. 1t worried him, but,
like Banquo's ghost, it would not
down. He finally made resolve
that he would go to Litchfield once
a year and stand for a certain time
upon the spot where. in previous
years, his fathers book stall had
stood, as a pcnance for his act of
disobedience. a new generation had
arrived on the scene by that time and
once year people who attended the
Litchfield market, once a year saw
an old man. who but few knew al that
time, stand with his head uncovered.
This the great scholar did at times
when snow and rain were falling, and
at others when lightning was flash
ing and thunder roaring.
The story Of the experience of
Johnson, who suffered from remorse
by his act from the time he reached
until his death, should not
fall upon deaf ears.

Christmas for 1911 is nothing but
a memory today. but after all, the
sweetest things In life are the plem-
cries of happy days gone by. Yes
terday, in many respects, failed TO
come up to the traditional Christmas,
for there was no snow tn give the
color effect and to make, by its
white flakes. the symbolic touch Of
the deeds being done inthc name OF
charity, and the finest lessons set
forth in services of song in the
churches that had Christmas morn
ing carols. Even though there was
no snow the joys OF Christmas were
present. The day was all that II
could have been. even without INC
streets covered with layer OF white.
Possibly more gifts were given
than at any Christmas The people
were all in a good mood The wealth
or leading up to the magical date
was good for shopping and times
have been fairly prosperous. Any
way. reciprocity, while not Inherent
in gift-giving, prevails, and the giver
gets as we'll as he gives. So that
there was something OF an, evening
up with everything to the credit OF
good will and love and friendship.
The poor were made glad. who
could not have found gladness with
out some TO show them the paths to
the peace OF Christmas by generosity.
What delightful home day il was
How fine the turkey did smell and
taste. and the nuts and raisins. and
the candy and the cake. and the
plum pudding and the mlhcemcat
pie. But why dwell upon these
things? They have all fulfilled their
mission of Christmas cheer. Now
for New Years Day.
