The True CHRISTMAS.

IT'S beautiful custom-this Christmas
Remembering each old friend.
With some little tardy memento
Which takes with 1t love without end:
Ills sweet to be thus held in memory
BY one you hold close to your heart.
But at Yuletlde let's not be forgetting
That the gifts are but one little part.
There's far grander. holier lesson
To be CLEANED from this season of cheer.
It isn't just jewels that are craved for
BY the ones TO whom we are near;
Give kindness and love and assistance,
Not only TO body. but soul,
And you'll find that you're drawing much
closer NE
To the seasons significant goal
Give a word OF sweet solacing comfort
To those who are laden with woe.
Give sympathy where you can mete IT.
Hold no such thing as foe;
Send some little glimmer OF sunshine
To the lives that are far from the light
IT'S then that you'll know the full mean
Ing
OF that star that shone forth in the night

grandma and grandpa have in mind is
that the old-time simplicity pertaining
to the great festal day has given way
to innovations that are more fanciful
and elaborate. The gift that comes
in gilt-bordered box. tied IN pink
ribbons. probably is opened with as
much expectant thrill. however, as
the exploration of the olden-time
stocking occasioned.
I We get little glimpses here and
there in the colonial chronicles Of
Maryland OF the old-time Maryland
Christmas and there are plenty OF
traditions afloat OF the rural before
the-war Christmas. Always the
Christmas feast has been a great
event in the social life OF the state.
It has been a day of family reunions
from colonial days down to now. A
Maryland Christmas feast Of the olden
time is aptly described In that classic
phrase the table fairly groaned un-
der the burden of the viands." Stump
tuous plenty was the first law OF the
olden Christmas feast It wasn't so
much on the decorative settings; It
didn't make a specially of fancy sal

Which il but to say: Youth is ever

A CHRISTMAS HOUSE PARTY
SHAKING, coasting and sIeIshlng Good
Country Pastime While City Offers
Sightseeing, Music.

A house party at Christmas affords
the young people of the family a
chance to be gay and CHEEKY for
weekend or more. The charm OF q
house party is in the bringing together
of congenial guests who spend sew
eral days with their hosts When the
girls and boys return from college or
boarding school for the holidays they
often bring with them as guests class
mates whose homes are too remote to
make 1t worth while for them to take
long and expensive journey for the
recess. The girl and the boy who hail
from the west and attend an east
ern school of learning, may be forced
to spend a homesick holiday II no
eomrade tenders an invitation to join
family group.
Outdoor sports, skating. coasting.
tobogganing and sleigh riding are the
pastimes OF the country, while the city
offers Sightseeing, music and the
other diversions. The long evenings
at home, the little parties invited to
meet the visitors, and the whole merry
and swiftly passing time make .
Christmas houseparty one Of the gala
seasons OF the year The house
keeper finds that her provision for
the table must be ample. Her PIES
and cakes disappear like magic. for
young people are noted for good APP
petltes. Tableaux. charades and con-
undrums are among the amusements
appropriate to such a party. Story
telling around the fire with the lights
turned down, IL the tales are OF ghosts
and spooks, is sure to be favorite
feature OF the festivity.

.FLEMM|NG RECEIVES
$3.50 FOR PROPERTY
Jury Did Not Believe That
He Was Entitled to the
Amount Asked.

The jury in the case of Charles d.
Flemming against Laura Flemming,
awarded the plaintiff $3.50 for his prop
erty now on the farm of the defend
ant in Dalton township, near Economy.
The jury got the case shortly after 6
o'clock and returned a verdict at 8
o'clock Flemming demanded $500 as
result of the detention of property
owned by him and held by the de-
PENDANT.
Mrs. Flemming filed suit for divorce
in May and ordered her husband to
leave the farm. She said he was
guilty of improper conduct. She had
given Flemming considerable property
on the farm and also some money for
his services on the farm. For mis- la
bors on the farm in the last three
years he only receives the $3.50 award
ed him by the jury.
The divorce suit in which Flemming
is defendant and his wife plaintiff will
also be heard before Judge Engle of
the Randolph circuit court. Judge
Engle presided in the case just dis
posed of. Flemming proposes to con-
test the divorce suit.

1t was announced today that the
Democratic convention to nominate a
city ticket will be held the first part
of September. The exact date will be
decided on at a meeting of the city
committee the first of next month.
So far the only candidate for the
mayoralty nomination is Henry Far

local oil inspector.
A number of Democrats have been
bringing all the pressure they could
bear on Jacob Lichtenfels, a we'll
known meat dealer, to induce him to
make the race for the same nomin-
