Christmas All Year.

A spirit of generosity pervades the
Yuletide atmosphere. 1t is known and
practiced at no other season Of the
year as at Christmas. 1t is felt in
every city. in every town. in every
village. in the entire country.
People are prone to be more thought
full. Men manifest desires to spread
good cheer; women weave little acts
Of love. kindness and devotion into
Christmas good will; children cherish
their companions and fortunes. Per
sons unconsciously instill into each
other q desire to distribute happiness
everywhere. 1t all comes on the
wings Of that indefnable thing under
stood by few. but referred to by many
as the Christmas spirit. 1t is invisible,
but can be seen; 1t is not material, but
can be felt. It comes every Christ
mas. but too often leaves to return
perhaps next year. when the real holi-
day spirit again is felt.
Why does this fellowship Of love
and good will depart from the souls Of
SO many persons on the wings Of time?
Why does not the same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after men again as
sumo their routine of work and w0-
men become normal after their Christ
mas cares and worries?
Would 1t not be good thing If this
same Christmas spirit could continue
throughout the twelve months Of the
year? Would it not be a good thing
for mankind II all stopped to think Of
others as they do during the Yuletide
season. If all endeavored to 6ll the
lives Of their friends. acquaintances and
the less fortunate with good cheer and
happiness throughout winter and sum-
mer, spring and autumn?
Try this for next year. Make it one
Of your resolutions. and II one resolves
to do all in his power to make others
happy throughout the entire twelve
months no other resolutions will be
necessary to assure one Of happiness.
After all is said and done the only real
happiness is derived from making 9TH
ers happy.

DAD AND MOTHER AND ME-.

NOBODY'S like old Santa Claus
~ With his red and jolly face.
There's not another around the globe
Can travel so swift a pace.
His twinkling eyes and his merry laugh,
His chuckle Of bubbing glee-
Nobody else is SO dear by half
To dad and mother and me.
HE doesn't forget the baby sweet
AS she rocks In her cradle white.
He has time to wait for the tagging feet
OF the old by candlelight.
He has gifts and gifts for the young and
gay,
Who encircle the Christmas tree,
And he has the love to his latest day
OF dad and mother and me.
TINHE frost is chill in the nippng blast:
L Smooth is the icy mere.
The short, fleet days go hurrying past
To the last Of the waning year.
And never was rose of the summers prime
So royalty fair to see
As the rose that blooms in the winters

A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

II DREAMED a dream one Christmas
eve,
The strangest one. you may believe.
i Twas Of a world divinely fair
Beyond the blue, far off, some W here.
There grief and tears were all unknown.
And love supreme reigned on the throne.
All. such q joyful. gladsome world,
Where sorrows bolts were never hurled!
Here faces gaunt with poverty
Deride the rich In mockery.
All equal there were each to each,
The best within q pauper's reach.
No surging. crushed. downtrodden masses
No proud. elite or clan made classes;
No seasoned joys for just few
In this fair realm beyond the blue;
No stalking want with piteous voice;
No poor to feed. All had their choice
OF that which seemeth just and good.
All things were rightly understood.
No broken hearts or racking pain;
No avaricious. blood bought gain:
No grasping, grinding. selfish greed
That others welfare doth not heed.
All things were perfect as the love
That ruled this spotless world above.
Were this sad world like to my dream
And love ruled all. its right supreme,
All, where the chance for kindly deeds?
Were there no poor to voice their needs.
Were such a state sublimely true.
Oh. where the good that we might do?
Were there no faces dewed with tears.
Where. then. the solace Of the years?
II this world knew no grief. no care,
Could we our brothers burden share?
All. love would lose much Of its worth
Were there no charity on earth!
Perhaps tits better as It Is
Than live In realms Of perfect bliss.
For out of evil cometh good
When God Is rightly understood.
And since we live mid toll and care
And not in halcyon dreams somewhere
Uplift and help thy fellow man
And do the greatest good you can
To make this world like that above,
Controlled and swayed by Christly love.

YNHE world his cradle Is,

Twin Singers With Wonderful Twin
Voices.

Twin Singers With Wonderful Twir
Voices.
In the "Int$esting People" depart
ment of the December American Maya
zine appears an article about Mary anc
Marie Mcfarland, twin sisters who are
well known singers. These sisters not
only look alike but their voices are alike
Unless you can see them you cannot tel
-shen one stops singing and the Other
begins. Following is an extract from
the article:
/ ut happens sometimes by some freak
of nature that twins have the same
features, but it doesn't happen once in
a blue moon that two persons have the
same singing voice. Nothing about a
human being is more uniquely his own
than his voice. Yet here are twins
famous concert and operate singers,
whose voices are identical in range, tone,
and even in timbre. Such miracle, they
say happens about once in a century.
This time it has happened to pair of
| young American women, who have the
same name, the same bright faces and
wayy hair, and the same beautiful coll
oratura soprano voice.
"The twins are Mary and Marie Nc
Farland They were born at Leaven-
worth, Kansas; but while they were
still very young their father, Colonel
Austin Mcfarland, an official in the pas
senger department of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, moved his family to
Denver. Their musical talent was an
Inheritance from their mother, who was
singer, and it showed itself early. At
the age of seven their ability was
noted and no concert of local talent in
Denver was complete without the twins.
Abroad they have sung much in grand
opera, but their debut in America last
year was in vaudeville Marie Il think

precedent: There is no money in grand
