cRunB or COMFORT.

Year by year, for twenty
centuries the story of the night
at Bethlehem has been told and
retold. Today no household in
Christendom, in town or village
or on distant prairie can plead the
ignorance in which Bethlehem
then lay. If the door is shut on
the Christ-child today, il is not
from lack Of knowledge, but
from churlishness or indiffer-
ence.
All the old troublous questions
of the origin and destination of
the Galilee Carpenter have
passed.
All the medieval worriment
in discriminating between human
and divine has gone. all puzzled
inquiry into the miraculous. No
longer is mankind stirred over
the non-essential. Theories of
him fade away, dogmas Of his
nature lose their charm. His
gentleness has conquered. His
influence continues and widens.
Slowly Frightening. the CLEAN
that touched him spreads through
the world. His spirit moves on
the face of civilization and
makes il kindlier every genera
ticn. The New Year of 1912 will
find more living close to the
Rule than any year in
the history OF the world. This |
makes family life sweeter and
eases the bitterness of failure
and ignorance and all life's in
That wonder
personality was never
so potent as today so insistent
and tenderly sure. Under a
thousand forms, creeds and
WINES, men serve him.

New Year with how many plans

New Year greetings are greet
ings of good will. How they
soften hard hearts, purify base
desires, sweeten bitter thoughts.
and make every deed purer and
holier; every wish kinder and
tenderer. Let hearts expand,
sympathieS enlarge, and good
will reign. Let benediction
drop from lips, and substantial
gifts fall from overlooking
hands. Make cherries homes
radiant and hopeless hearts to
thrill with unspeakable gladness.
Forgive your enemies. Bury
the past. Rise above the mean
and petty resentments which you
may have harbored against those
who have not used you well.
Be generous.

Don't give away your good re-
solutions; keep them. Don't
make the same mistake in 1912
that you made in 1911. The
more you laugh in 1912 the less
occasion you will have for sigh
ing in after years. Just consider
that 1912 will be the last of your
life and get all the happiness
possible out of it. Don't lose
your temper in 1912. You will
need it when the 1912 agents
and other fakirs call on you.
"The good die young" don't let
that prove true in regard to your
good New Years resolutions.

ATTEMPT TO ROB PosoFFIcE
Vault Door of Charter Oak Postof

Last Friday Night.

An attempt was made to rob the
postoffice at Charter Oak early last
Friday morning. The safe in the Of
fee, containing several hundred dol
lars worth of stamps and currency,
was blown open, but before the rob-
bers could secure any of the loot they
were frightened away by the night
watch, Mr.. Tom Lyons, who heard the
explosion and, began firing at the
would-be robbers. A wagon in which
the robbers were thought to have
escaped was traced ten miles in the

by authorities that the burglars were
making their way toward Council
Bluffs. The police departments over
the state have been notified to be on
the lookout for the men.

DOW CITY CHURCH
in BANQUET
Methodist Church Holds Annual Ban
quet and a Fine Program Is
Carried Out.
RAISE OVER $4,000 IN Cash
Capacity Of Church is Taxed by At
tendance of Congregation and
Friends-Former Pastor There

Dow City, Nov. 19-(Special to tn
Review)-The annual banquet of tn
Methodist Episcopal church took plac,
as scheduled last Friday evening, No
Vember 18th, in the church. 1t wa
most suspicious occasion, the churcl
being taxed to its utmost capacity tt
accommodate the crowd assembled.
The banquet was in progress from
5 to 1880 p. M, and fully $50 persons
We're served. A fine two course sup
per had been prepared and to say
that each and every person present
enjoyed the repast is stating it in mild
terms.
After the supper was over short
program was given as follows: Misses
Maude and Minnie Brake gave an in
strumental duet, Miss Genevieve Dow
sang solo, Miss Marjorie Bryan gave
two readings and Mrs. l. A. Anderson
and Miss Susie Wore sang duet Then
Fred Buss came forward and stated
the purpose of the banquet, viz: The
amount OF money necessary to finance
the church for the year is figured up
and this gathering is for the purpose
of getting the members and friends to-
gether, each person wishing to do so,
pledging any amount they desire to
give to help make up the necessary
amount. The budget for the present
year is $1700. This includes pastors
salary, bishops and. elders calims,
church benevolences, incidental and
current expenses for 1928. The
amount pledged up to the present
writing is in excess of $140O, and it
is fully expected that the total will be
pledged by the end of the present
week.
On account of the muddy roads and
the darkness of the evening many
could not be present, but these are be-
ing seen as fast as possible. The peo-
pie of the entire community have been
very generous in the contributions
and the church officials desire to thank
each person who has helped to bear
the financial responsibilities.
To consider the affair on every side
it was brilliant success and indeed
the most successful banquet yet held.
The executive committee extends it's
thanks to each and every one who
helped in any way, great or small, to
make this affair such a success. To
each of them belongs a share of the
glory.
Rev. Lynn Slocumb, of Wisner, Neb.,
was present and gave a splendid talk.

named place and what had been &C.

THE DOG AND THE CRANE,

Once a poor crane was caught in a
net, and could not get out. She fiut-
tered and tapped her wings, but it
was of no use, she was held fast.
oh she cried, what will become
of me if / can not break this net?
The hunter will come and kill me, or
else I shall die of hunger, and, if
die, who will care for my poor little
ones in the nest? They must perish
also, if l do not come back and feed
them"
Now, Trusty was in the next field,
and heard the poor cranes cries. He
jumped over the fence, and Selling the
net in his teeth, quickly tore it to
pieces. ''There!" he said. "Now
fly back to your young ones, ma'am,
and good luck to you all"
The crane thanked him a thousand
times. 81 wish all dogs were like
you!" she said. "And 1 wish 1 could
do something to help you, as you
have helped me-
who knows?" said Trusty. Some
day may need help in my turn, and
then you may remember me. My
old mother used to say to me:
do kind deed wherever we can,
Is good for bird and beast and man
Then Trusty went back to his mas
ter's sheep, and Mrs. Crane flew to
her nest and fed and tended her
crane babies.
Some time after this she was flying
homeward, and stopped at clear pool
to drink. As she did so, she heard a
sad, moaning sound, and, looking
about, whom should she see but good
Trusty, lying on the ground, almost
at the point OF death. She flew to
him. 20, my good, kind friend" she

THE REAPER's VISIT.

It is q strange fact that to the re-
Election on the certainty of death is
seldom added the thought of it's math-
ematical regularity. Perhaps outside
the mortuary table of the insurance
company but little heed is paid to our
ratio of mortality, and yet, the most
superficial observation in any given
district and among certain marked
portion OF the population will reveal a
rotation in the winnowing process SO
definite as to be positively startling.
1t at least offers food for reflection.
This was forcibly brought to the
notice Of the writer when in the
course of his daily avocation within a
circumscribed territory it became
necessary to make note of the deaths
therein. The slight variation In the
intervening spaces so impressed him
that he preserved a record, which is
now given.
The period of observation covered
thirteen months and the territory OBJ
served embraces about six city
squares one way and four the other
the population approximately thirteen
thousand. The death rate was one q
month. and was not only the average
but missed by but trifie of time be.

with the fishes, but they had never
seen Turtle, and they were afraid
of it, thinking it was demon. They
ran back to their father, crying:
There is demon on the bank of
the lake.
The king ordered his men to catch
the demon, and to bring it to the
palace. When the Turtle was brought
in, the boys cried and ran away.
The king was very fond of his sons,
so he ordered the men who had
brought the Turtle to kill it.
How shall we kill it?' they asked.
Pound it to POWDER" said some
one. Bake it in hot GOALS" said an
other.
So one plan after another was spok-
en- of. Then an old man who had
always been afraid of the water said:
Throw the thing into the lake where
it flows out over the rocks into the
river. Then it will surely be killed"
When the Turtle heard what the
old man said, he thrust out his head
and asked: Friend, what have
done that you should do such dread
full thing as that to me? The other
plans were bad enough, but to throw
me into the lake! Don't speak of such
cruel thing!"
When the king heard what the Tur-
tie said, he told his men to take the
Turtle at once and throw it into the
lake.
The Turtle laughed to himself as he
slid away down the river to his old
home. "Good!" he said; those peo-
pie do not know how safe am in the
water!' ST M;cho,os
