 1 want to thank the patrons of nhe school for their cooperation, for l know without such help no school could progress as has this one during this term. And l want to ask the patrons to cooperate with the teachers in the future if you want your children to make progress. l ask you to help your children love and respect their teacher, for you can do this just as surely as you can influence them in anything. Another thing I would like to ask: I know the majority of you live a long way from school, but try to have the children start in time to be at school by g o'clock, and also come every day. It is so much easier for the teacher, but the main reason is the child learns so much faster. Just try this one term and see the difference in the advancement of the child. l may never again have the opportunity to instruct the children of this dis trict, but I owe it to my fellow teachers to ask your aid Tn thls school work. We know not what life work our child will be called upon to do. We know that the fu- ture United States will have to have all kinds of men and women of education. Then why not edu- cate our child so he may fill one of these palces? Who knows but that your own little boy may be president some day, if he is given the right opportunity? We all know that somebody's boy will be, so why not give your son a chance to try?
 Thanking the patrons of the dis trict for their kindness to me, 1 will say goodbye.

players, consisting or Joseph ana Mary
and the infant Jesus, two archangels,
Lucifer and three of his minions and
a number of shepherds. The costumes
are adapted to the Mexican conception
Of the characters and are novel in the
extreme. All of the costumes are got
up tastefully, and, while a strict con-
formance with the requirements of the
first century might rob Joseph of his
sombrero, still it is doubtful if the
lesson which it is desired to instill in
the minds of the people would be as
effective if all the minor details of the
early Jewish fashions were followed.
The scene of the play opens near
Bethlehem, where the shepherds are
tending their flOcks, by host of angels
appearing and telling them Of the birth
of the Saviour and inviting them to fol
low to where he lies. They follow the
star which leads them to the stable, in
the manger of which the infant rests
in the arms of Mary and Joseph. While
rejoicing, Lucifer, armed with two
swords, appears and attempts to de-
ollOS llC Nllllu buJ ID lSpuloSb
by two angels, who keep watch over
him. Not to be outdone, Lucifer sum-
mons three archdemons, who fight with
the angels for the course of half an
hour, resulting in the final overthrow
of the evil one and his emissaries and
the placing of the feet of the angels
upon their necks.
Then the shepherds break out into
rejoicing, and, while portion of them
sing the praises of the Redeemer who
is born unto them, others chant in a
harmonious strain the goodness and
mercy of God. This feature, accompa-
MED by music on the harp and violin,
is kept up until late hour each night
until the holidays are over.
One must understand the Mexican
people and their devoutness and in
tense religious feeling to fully appre-
ciate how strongly the presentation of
the shepherds affects their minds.
"There," u self satisfied commercial
traveller said; ''that's what think you
should do in the matter. I'm not q
lawyer, but this is a bit of advice that
costs you nothing. What do you think
of it?"

ly, 'it's worth it."-New York Mail.

Christmas All Year.

A spirit of generosity pervades the
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 a 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; it is not material, but
can be felt. 1t 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 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, 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 if one resolves
to do all in his power to make others
happy throughout the entire twelve
months no other resolutions will be
Gecessary to assure one of happiness.
After all is said and done the only real
happiness is derived from making 9th
ers happy.

MURDERED BY a MOTH.
A Curious Case and the Evidence Upon
Which 1t Was Decided.

In olden times it was not rare for
animals to be accused and convicted of
various offenses and given judicial
trials, but there is more recent case
recorded, in which a moth was proved
to have been a murderer. 1t was the
case Of the Princess Caravella, at Ma
pies. After giving a dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes Of rest, in order to refresh
herself for dance.
She was discovered lying dead on her
bed, with a pistol wound in her heart.
Her husband, Prince Caravella, had
been noted for his jealous disposition,
and as 1t was certain that no stranger
could possibly have been in the prin-
cess room suspicion pointed to him,
and he was arrested.
The pistol was found lying near the
murdered woman, which in itself was
favorable to the prince, for no MUIR
derer, unless he courted detection
would thus leave the weapon to be
discovered. In spite Of this, it was
probable that things would have gone
hard with the accused but for the
shrewdness of a Naples police officer
This man carefully examined the bed
chamber, and lying on the floor by the
bedside, he found one of those large
moths that abound in Italy. A lighted
candle had stood on table by the bed,
and the moths wings bore evident
marks of having been badly singed
against the flame.
What was more important still, some
of the powdery dust from the moths
wings was found on the trigger of the
pistol, and pistol had lain in such a
position that it covered the princess
heart. 1t was clear, argued this astute
| Sherlock Holmes, that the moth had
burned its wings and had fallen on the
table where, writhing in agonies, its
wings had struck the trigger of the pis-
tol, and the pistol had been thus fired.
! 1t was noted that the hair trigger
worked with exceptional ease.
| 1t should be remarked that these
Italian moths are larger than any
with which we are familiar in this
country. On this evidence the prince
was rightly acquitted. - Pearson's
| Weekly.

Getting In Out of the Wet.

An observant visitor at the Central
park menagerie noticed that the hip
popotamus invariably retreated to his
tank and remained under water when
it rained. He sought Head Keeper
Bill Snyder for the answer. "I have
never been able to explain it" Bill re-
piled. "The hippo runs from shower
like cat. 1t may be that the rain
drops tickle his sensitive skin to the
degree that he gets uncomfortable
Maybe it's only an idiosyncrasy that
the crltter couldn't explain himself If
he could talk. New York Tribune.
