said. Wednesday, that he had killed
10 deer with his own rifle, and that
now he wanted a moose; that he had
had an opportunity on one of his last
trips to kill one but did not do so, as
the animal was not over three years

his coming trip he will keep his eyes
out for a moose with good spread of

Tuesdays gale was the means of
preventing the good steamer City of
Augusta from making her regular trip
from Gardiner to Augusta. 1t was
not. however. because of the heavy
weather on. the Kennebec, for the
steamer is able to cope with any
thing that has yet been developed in
the way of head wind. The trouble
was at Gardiner, where on account of
the gale it was not deemed safe to at

steamer accordingly waited until We'd

lowing sunday We found the people
from five villages gathered celebrating
a wedding. Words are INADEQUATE to
describe the scene Just outside of the
home of the bridegroom was large
ring of children. Some of the girls had
babies on their backs, they had water

ones would step into the ring and dance.

shorter ones stuck into their head gear.
One woman's head had been shaved and
a wig setting on top. A man was there
dressed like a witch doctor He was
cutting up antics and making people
laugh. He had on a fur cap about u in

knees, bare legs and feet, a fur apron
over the skirt, a yellow shirt outside the
skirt Around his neck were various
things, chain of beads having tigers
claws strung at regular intervals and
something else that looked like brown
plums. In another part of the yard We're
many men drinking beer. They tell US
that beer is their God. In one of the
rooms We're lots of people talking and
eating porridge. The table was bare and
uninviting but they were having gay

Wonderboom, Aug. Is, 1913.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1913-12-16

Christmas is good institution, be it
examined from any angle. The Christ
mas spirit is one to foster and encour-
age. 1t means unselfishness, charity.
peace, liberality, good cheer, all desir
able traits in themselves apd all tend
ing to make the world better place.
While the Christmas holiday is a
Christian institution in name, no one
religion holds monopoly Of the Christ
mas spirit. 1t Is common to all reli-
gions. 1t means striving to make
others happier, an effort to better con-
ditions for mankind. 1t means sharing
your good fortune. no matter how
small the portions may be. 1t is the
essence Of the Golden Rule.
While one can do much good to 9TH
ers by the radiation Of the Christmas
spirit. the greatest good is done to one
self. No man can bestow gift. either
material or spiritual, on another with
out benefiting himself. He must ele-
vate himself by the exercise of the
emotions that Christmas calls forth.
and this elevation must be more or less
permanent. No man can be much diff
ferent one day in the year from what
he Is the other 1854 days.
So blessed be the spirit of Christ
mas! Exercise it during the closing
days Of December and you can't help
but be the better for it, and you can't
help but continue its benevolent influ.
ences during the months that follow.

What Of Your Christmas Spirit?

What Of Your Christmas Spirit?
The spirit Of Christmas. as the ideal
lists have it, is not recognizable by the
real thing, according to modern meth
DDS.
Theoretically everything is bright
gay, full Of peace for oneself and good
wishes for the rest Of the world.
Actually Christmas may mean any
thing like this:
Grudging giving and discontented re-
ceiving.
Splurging on ones rich friends and
stintipg where it is not likely to count.
Overgenerosity to the point Of ex-
travagance.
Rushing until you detest Christmas
and everything connected with it.
OverwOrked nerves and overwrought
tempers from a false conception Of
Christmas giving.
A generous spirit for your own i'm
mediate circle and utter indifference
to whether any one else has happy
day.
Gorging oneself in the interest Of
Christmas cheer with no thought of
tortured digestion and rockiness Of the
day after.
A Christmas with not one thought to
the real meaning OF the day and what
the world would have been had there
been no birthday Of king to cele-
brate.

The Day After Christmas.

A graceful finish Is one of the most
essential touches of any successful
venture The pianist does not drop his
hands abruptly from the keys as-soon
as he has played the last note. but
holds them there a moment longer un-
til the music dies away. Diners out
would be indignant if the table were
wh.SNtd clean the moment the last
mouthful was swallowed. They find
the lingering on little while over the
coffee and nuts most delightful.
Christmas is too beautiful and too
solemn a festival to drop in this hasty
fashion the moment the clock strikes
midnight. for any occasion which
needs especial preparation also needs
an adequate closing. and particularly
is this true Of those things whose val
ue lies in sentiment.
There are many things to be done
after Christmas. There are letters to
be written, houses to be put in order,
gifts to be arranged, and every one Of
the countless details may be done ell
ther with grace or without it. In the
theater the final curtain falls with 1T
ting dignity or appropriate gayety. 1t
has all been play; but, even so, the
actors do not walk of after the last
word is said and allow the stage hands
to rush on. That would offend the
mood Of the audience How much
truer this is of something which is not
n play, but a very real part Of life!
The days after Christmas should be
as mystical in their way as were the
days before Christmas. The ornaments
that decked the tree should be put
away with the same care and pleasure
with which they were brought out, the
green's taken down with the same mer-
riment that accompanied their going up.
The afterglow is sometimes the most
beautiful part of the sunset, and some
times it is even more beautiful than
the sunset itself.
Wise Alternative.

haps the best thing Is to like what you
have to do.-GeOrge Macdonald

A GIFT,

A GIFT.
w = HAT shall I send you fol
Christmas, dear?
M What can a penniless rimestel
w send
But the wish that when skies
are filled with gloom
For you blithe April buds may bloom
And that every throb Of the heart Of you
May whisper Of days when the skies were
blue?
What shall I send you for Christmas
What can a friendless minstrel send
But the prayer that when days drag drear
and long
Your heart will sing snatches Of sweetest
And that every flake of the Yuletide's
May speak of the dreams OF the long ago:
What shall send you for Christmas, my
own?
What can a lonely bardling send
But the wish that when life grows dark
The roses of summer may bloom for you
And in moods when the fond old dreams
still cling to you
That the birds may return, my sweet, and
sing to you?
