Then through the crowd a lit
tie woman pushed her way, fore
ing aside the strongest men by
some superhumanly endowed
strength. She went up to the
tired man and put her arms round
his neck and kissed him, and the
tired man dropped his bag and
stared at her and said something
softly and then covered his face
with his hands; and I was near
enough to see the tears trickling
between his fingers. And the
woman was the Little GrayLady!

forgiveness and of love on both

High School Notes
BY H. x. Smith

Students of the high school who are
taking the commercial course will
find new typewriters in the depart
ment when they return from the
Christmas vacation. The city school
board has placed fourteen typewriters
of the latest design. each having
eighty-four characters, in the depart
ment.
The old machines had seventy-six
characters. 1t was learned that pu-
pills who had taken the course We're
handicapped when they entered Off
ces where machines of eighty-four
characters were in use. In many cas-
es, pupils lost their positions. The
board believes that graduates of the
commercial department will have no
trouble in holding their positions aft
err they have learned to operate the
new machines.

A HEART OF GOLD.

Yesterday late in the afternoon |
walked west on Main street, and in
front of toy store window | saw a
child, a little girl of perhaps eight
summers in poor dress, standing look
ing longingly at the dolls in fine dress
in the window there. | saw the pale,
sweet, wistful face, and wondered what
Christmas would bring her. The busy
man, with books and papers approach
ing from the west, saw it, too, and
turned and stepped aside at the Win
dow. l saw him touch the tangled
curls, and bend low and whisper to
the child, and | saw the glad look of
sweet surprise on her face, when he
put two silver dollars in her little
hand, and hurried away. The gentle
man who was walking with me said:
He has caught the spirit of Christ
mas. Do you know him." | replied,
ut is Christmas in that mans heart
all the year around. He has a heart
of gold.' When l was pressed to say
something further of the man, spoke,
not of his misfortunes, or of any mis-
takes he may have made, but of his
busy. honest life, of his high standing
and brilliant success in his profession.
and best of all, of his heart of gold.
why then,' inquired my companion,
eff you are friends, did you not speak
in passing?"
| simply said, I'VE were once
friends" and as we walked on in sill
ence | thought of our misunderstood
ing of years ago, and of our estrange.
ment because of his bitter and scath
ing, public denunciation of me, and
wondered if he knew that all these
years. in spite of it all, | had kept a
tender memory of him and his heart
of gold X. Y. Z.

Heart oHeart
Talks.
TEMPTATION.

ASk.
Martin Luther threw his inkstand at
the devil.
He believed in personal Satan who
could materialize himself. and when he
thought he saw his Satanic majesty he
went after him with the first weapon
at hand.
We laugh. but
Have you ever thought how much
easier it would be to resist temptation
if one could believe in a personal
devil?
You fight an unseen foe.
If you could get Lucifer backed up
against the wall when he comes TO
tempt you and he could not retreat
you could have it out with him. But
He is a smooth citizen,
He wears Il myriad DISCUSSES. He
may make a rear or Il flank attack or
get you into corner and compel you
TO hold up your hands. or he may take
the shape of the Lorelei and enchant
you with a lure that will put your boat
upon the rocks.
He has his Calypso islands as we'll
as his incarnated devils who bludgeon
only you 90 not TecOSlIlLe tueh dS
such.
If we only knew!
We may know him when he openly
tempts us with his cardinal vices of
strong drink or gambling or other def
mite aboyeboard sins, and we can cas-
lily say to our ancient enemy:
Get thee behind me. Satan"'
But
How defend ourselves against temp
tations concerning which we are blind? ?
Suppose he tempts us through our love
Of ease of body or mind. through self
ishness or popularity or self righteous
ness-insidious avenues of approach?
He does do that.
We are like children. We are unac-
quainted with our temptations. or. il
we do know them, we love the follieS
to which they lead all too much.
Wise old devil.
Nevertheless, if we make the most of
ourselves we must conquer the things
that most easily tempt us.
We cannot throw an inkstand at a
devil we do not believe in.
But we can know our weak spots.
We can know the temptations to which
our natures are most subject and thus
circumvent the devil.
