DAD AND MOTHER AND ME-.

NOBODY'S like old Santa Claus
~ With his red and jolly face.
There's not another around the globe
Car travel so swift a pace.
His tWinkling eyes and his merry laugh.
His chuckle Of bubbling 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
Or dad and mother and me.
THE frost is chill in the nipping blast;
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 prime
So royalty fair to see
AS the rose thai blooms in the winters
rime
For dad and mother and me.

Christmas All Year.

A spirit OF generosity pervades the
Yuletide atmosphere. 1t is known and
practiced al no other season of the
year AS at Christmas. 1t is felt in
every city. III every town. i'll 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 Il desire to distribute happiness
everywhere. 1t all comes on the
wings OF that indetinable thing under
stood by few. but referred to by many
as the Christmas spirit 1t is invisible.
but can be seen; it is not material. but
can be felt 1t comes every Christ.

and good will depart from the souls Of
so many persons Oh the wings Of time?
Why does not the same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after men again as
sumo their routine. of work and wo-
men become normal after their Christ
mas cares and worries?
Would it not be a 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 if all stopped to think Of
| others as they do during the Yuletide
season. if all endeavored to fill the
lives OF their friends. acquaintance 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 if 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 caid and done the only real
happiness is derived from making 9TH

In the time that followed Mary lived
in the flat which Aggie Lynch occu-
PIED with her brother. Jim. a pickpock-
ct much esteemed among his fellow
craftsmen. The period wrought trans
formations of a radical and bewilder-
ing sort in both the appearance and
the character Of the girl.
Joe Carson. the forger, had long been
acquainted with Aggie and her broth
er, though he considered them far be-
meath him in the social scale, since
their criminal work was not of that
nigh kind on which he prided himself.
But as he cast about for some woman
to Whom he might take the hapless
girl he had rescued his thoughts fell
on Aggie. He was relieved rather
than otherwise to learn that there was
already an acquaintance between the
W m and the fact that his
charge had served time in prison did
not influence him n jot against her.
Mary let herself drift. 1t seemed to
her that she had abandoned herself to
tate in that hour when she threw her.
self into the river. Afterward. with
out any v@olition on her part, she had
been restored to life and set within an
environment new and strange to her.
IN which soon. to her surprise, she
discovered Il vivid pleasure. So she
fought no more. but left destiny to
work its will. unhampered by her fu-
tile strivings.
For the first time in her life, thanks
to the hospitality Of Aggie Lynch, Sc
cretly REINFORCED from the funds of
Joe Carson. Mary found herself living
in luxurious idleness. while her every
wish could be gratified by the merest
mention of it. She was fed on the
daintiest of fare. she was clothed with
the most delicate richness for the first
time as to those more mysterious gar
ments which women love. In addition.
there were us many of books and mag
aZines as she could wish.
Her mind. long starved like her body,
seized avidly on the n~ourishment thus
afforded. In this interest Aggie had
no share-was perhaps u little envi-
ous over Mary's absorption in printed
pages. Aggie took a vast pride in her
guest, with the unmistakable air Of
elegance. and she dared to dream Of
great triumphs to come. though as
yet she carefully avoided any sugges-
ton to Mary of ~wrongdoing.
In the end the suggestion came from
Mary Turner herself. to the great sur
prise of Aggie. and. truth to tell. Of
herself.
There were two factors that chiefly
influenced her decision. The first was
due to the feeling that. since the world
had rejected her. she need no longer
concern herself with the worlds opin-
ion or retain any. scruples over it.
Back Of this lay her bitter sentiment
toward the man who had been the di-
rect cause of her imprisonment. Ed
ward Glider.
The factor that was the immediate
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1913-12-18

cause Of her decision on an irregular
mode of life was an editorial in one
OF the daily newspapers. This was a
scathing arraignment of a master in
high finance. The point Of the writ.
er's attack was the grim sarcasm for
such methods Of thievery as are kept
within the law. That phrase held the
girls fancy. and she read the article
again with a Guickened interest. Then
she began to mediate.
1t was the law that had worked the
ruin Of her life. which she had striv-
Ell to make wholesome. In conse.
qucnce she felt for the law no genuine
respect. only detestation us for the
epitome of injustice. Yet. she gave it
a superficial respect. born of those
three years OF suffering which had
been the result of the penalty intlict-
ed On her. Now. III the paragraph she
had Just read she found Il clew to Sug-
gestive thought. Il hint as to Il means
by which she might satisfy her rancOr
against the law that had outraged her.
and this in safety since she would at
tempt nought save that within the
law.

AN OLD TIME CHRISTMAS.

And DOTTED his pride.

That night might village partner chuse:
The lord underogating share
The vulgar game of post and pair.
All hailed with uncontrolled eligh
And general voice the happy night

But, oh. what maskers richly digit
Can boast of bosoms half so light?

Pinkhan1
Nominated \
As Governor

L. E. Pinkham has been nomi-
mated by President Wilson, as Gov
ernor of Hawaii. The news was
cabled from Washington Thursday
last and it caused a sensation
throughout the islands.
When Pinkham' s name was first
mentioned in the dispatches from
the mainland, everybody smiled
and remarked it was a good joke
But the joke has come home to
roost, and there is no getting
around the fact that Pinkham has
landed the plum.
1t is said that the Democratic
party in Hawaii is ready to flop.
The leaders, who fondly imagined
that they were in the running for
the big territorial offices, have not
yet recovered from the shock, and
there is much weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth.

Rev. Short
Is Leaving

August 10 will be the last day
that the Rev. Mr.. Short will spend
on Maui. He has received a call
to St. Paul Church, Benicia, Cali
fornia, and will sail for the main
land on the date mentioned.
Bishop Moreland, who is life
long friend of Mr.. Short, has charge
of the Diocese in which Mr.. Short
will labor, and for many years he
has endeavored to persuade the well
known Wailukuan pastor to 60 back
to the mainland.
Mr.. Short is leaving Hawaii for
purely family reasons. He has a
son in the navy-or rather a cadet
and when the family settles in
Benicia, there will be a reunion.
Miss Short accompanies her father
to the mainland. The call received
by Mr.. Short is not one to a better
parish-as stipends go. The Maui
pastor would not be influenced that
way. AS stated before, it is purely
for family reasons that the well
liked minister is leaving Maui.

it will be hard to say what will
happen. If there is no deputy COL
lector at Kahului, the steamers will
have to be cleared and entered at
Honolulu or Hilo. That would
mean that a custom officer would
have to travel on each vessel and
that the cost of handling freight
would be increased.
The twenty-five dollars month
does not appeal to anybody. The
man who takes the job will have to
board all vessels-Sundays or any
other day-and there is a good

Wants
Port Job ?

If any ambitious young man
wishes to obtain a position as dep
uty collector of customs at the port
of Kahului, now is the time for
him to speak up and get busy. L.
R. Bevins, who will step out of
the Office on July 81, is determined
to give up the position for good.
twenty-five dollars per month is
not thought to be sufficient salary
for such a position, and the job is
going begging.
When Tidwell from Washington
toured the islands and looked into
the affairs of the various ports of
entry in the group, he sent in a
report to the effect that Kahului
should be reduced in status. This
was done and the salary of SIPS
per month that was attached to the
position, was cut to S25 per month.
Since the reduction, it has been
found impossible to secure a man
for the position and, after July 81,
