Any talk this week may be termed
MI both protest and an appeal Per-
~ haps some of my readers may call
it a sermon 1t is not meant as
that. and yet at this season ser
mon that comes straight from one heart
may go straight to another.
We read much nowadays that is deroga-
tory to Christmas. 1t is but natural tina t
when one wishes to call attention to the
abuse of a custom one should eXaggerate
somewhat in the hope of making his argu-
ment strong. While 1 acknowledge that
the day of days has been abused, may not
the critics have exaggerated little?
Fortunately much of their criticism and
condemnation is only paper deep, and does
not go down any further than the page on
which it is set forth. The sharp words may
flow freely from the pen, but the pen was
not dipped into the heart, but only into the
shallow ink well. And the spirit of Christ
mas smiles on at all the world in spite of
the remarks of those who would make us
believe that it is dead. And think. were
the truth known. that when the blessed day
Itself draws nigh, even they will acknowl-
edge to their inward souls that, after all.
the season holds a something which they
cannot analyze.
None of US who pause to think can really
sheer at Christmas. for none of US can
really forget what It means If asked about
It our thoughts would turn back to the
night, centuries ago, in which little child
lay in a manager in Bethlehem. Above the
rough roof the cleaning stars hung in the
eastern sky. About him in the warm,
hUshed darkness of the stable, the mild
eyed oxen chanPed the hay. Perhaps the
baby cried weakly; perhaps he slept in his
mothers arms. And thus Christmas began
nearly 2,oOO years ago.
And yet
Christmas is the time. grumbles a pes
simist when we are blackmailed by con-
vention in order to keep our friends! 1t is
a sham-aH &it-a Sham.'

HAZELTON'S BALL TEAM

Hazelton Republican,: Hazelton
fans gathered at Klabunde's hall to
talk over the advisability of organic
ing baseball team Only few mo-
ments were required for the senti-
ments of the gathering to be ex-
pressed, and as all were in favor of
a team for Hazelton. steps were imme-
diately taken to perfect an organiza'
ton. Joseph 'Healy acted as chair
man and w. B. Andrus secretary OF
the meeting. 1t was decided to organ
lie team of all home players, and
not 60 to the expensive luxury OF
professionals as had been done in
previous years.
Ben Klabunde was elected manag-
er; IS "A. Mikalson, treasurer, and
Frank Kohl, captain of the aggrega'
ton. The latter was instructed to
get the team in working order, also
to look into the matter Of needed
suits and paraphernalia.
A subscription list was immediately
started up and to date the finance
committee, consisting of S. A Mikal
son, J. Roop and Thomas Kelly, re.
port exceedingly favorable progress.
We are authorized to say that Hazel
tons home grown" baseball team will
take on any team in Emmons county
or the surrounding territory and guar
antee to give them plenty of excite
ment and good article of baseball.

TWO D0RE SKETCHES.
One That Was Stolen and Another
That Was Confiseated.

One That Was Stolen and Another
That Was Confiseated.
While Gustave Dore was at lschi
and wandering about the mountains he
became much interested in a country
wedding and sketched 1t on the spot.
He put the sketch in a book in the
pocket Of his paletot and went back
to the hotel to dinner. After dinner
he looked for the sketch. 1t was gone.
Angry at the theft, the artist called
the landlord and made complaint. but
no trace of the book was found. From
Ischl Dore went to Vienna, and there
he found a letter and parcel await
ing him. The letter, which was anony.
nous, read thus:
Sir. stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was so charming that I could not
resist the temptation of having it In my
possession. and knew very well that you
would never consent to sell to me. But
theft Is neither my trade nor my habit,
and l beg you to accept as souvenir
talent the walking stick which will reach
you at the same time as this letter.
The cane was a massive one with
gold head. in which was set gem OF
value.
On another occasion the artist lost
bis passport while on tour IN Swift
zerland. At Lucerne he asked to be al
lowed to speak to the mayor. to whom
he gave bis name.
"You say that sou art N. Gustave
Dore, and believe you," said the
mayor, but" and he produced a piece
of paper and a pencil. you can easily
prove it."
Dore looked around him and saw
some peasants selling potatoes in the
street. With a few clever touches he
reproduced the homely scene and. ap-
pending bis name to the sketch. gave
1t to the mayor.
"Your passport is all right" remark
ed the official, but you must allow me
to keep it and to offer you in return
one of the ordinary form."-New York

on Getting Good Start" His talk
was interspersed with interesting
stories. The major chose his text
from the first chapter of Revelations,
eighth verse: Il am Alpha Omega, the
beginning and the ending" "What a
lot of disappointment and sorrow and
heartache people would be saved" said
the major, "if they would only put
God first. We should not have so
many dark homes and weeping moth
ers and sorrowing fathers and way.

God to withhold the blessings of the
elements. Man may till the soil and
put in the Seed but were there no
sunshine or rain then no crops or
fruit-so then We are absolutely de-
pendent on God" said the speaker.
"But God has never failed; man has,
in that he has been trying to get along
without serving his Creator and sus-
tainer."
The major made an earnest appeal
for converts. Six persons responded
to the invitation and many Christians
went forward for renewed consecra-
ton. The subject the major will
handle tonight will be "A Desperate

MOTOR CO. GIVE
EMPLOYEES HOLIDAY

Forming the greatest industrial
parade that has ever been held in the
United States, the $500 employees
of the Willis Overland, Kinsey and
Warner manufacturing companies,
representing John N. WHY'S automo.
bile interests in Toledo, attended
the opening ball game OF the 1912
American Association season between
Milwaukee and Toledo.
The $500 employees Of the company
attended the game as the guests of
President John N. WHY'S. The vast
army of workmen will receive full
days pay regardless of the fact that
they quit work at noon and were
furnished with free tickets to the
game.
AS the whistles of the three plants
blew the noon blasts, the thousands
of men dropped their tools and hast
ened to their homes to eat a hurried
lunch and dress themselves for the
game. They assembled at the plants
shortly before one o'clock and as
each employee checked in, he was
given a grand stand ticket to the op-
ening game, an Overland pennant on
a cane and a badge button bearing
picture of President John N. WHY'S.
The parade was divided into four
divisions headed by President WHY'S
and officials of the Willys-Overland
company. They were followed by the
Overland band-the largest industrial
band in the country-and nearly 300
women employees.
The second division composed of
the employees Of the Willys-Overland
employees. Then came the employees
of the Warner company lead by a
band and the fourth division headed
by the Marine band was made up of
officers and, employees Of the Kinsey
manufacturing company. The $500
employees were supplied with copies
of the we'll known. Overland song
and throughout the line of march the
words of the melody coming from
hundreds of Threats could be heard.
Scattered along the line of march
were moving picture machines and
operators. AS the parade started
from the Overland plant one moving
picture operator made films at that
point. while another was stationed
further along the route and third
machine was in operation at the ball,

they marched onto the field.
