John Stewart, secretary of the Con-
cordia. Commercial club telling of the
special entertainment that has been
planned for the Topekans on Thurs

mobile ride over the town. After that
supper, and then the Brown Grand

to US.
Some of our members may have a
little something to say to your party
and you can fill in with MARSHALL 8
band
1--WE have asked the stores to keep
open until s o'clock Thursday even

the game was over.
This same team came right back
the next day and put up as nice an
exhibition as ever seen here and il
was only in the ninth inning that

Writing Christmas
THANK az! X YOU Notes

~ F. course Santa Claus will bring

he will bring you some pref
IT, correspondence cards with
your initial in the corner. The first
use to make Of any such present is In
writing Thank YOU notes to the per.
sons who have sent you Christmas
presents.
Don't let your mother or big sister
take this pleasure away from you. Re
member this is part of the Christmas
fun II you make it work it will be
your own fault Commence thinking
beforehand what you want to say in
those neatly written Thank you
notes. If you have something all
thought out half the work is already
done
One Of the first things you'd think of
if you were speaking directly to the
giVer would be just what the present
was. You wouldn't say to Cousin
Kate. for instance. "Thank you for
your present" You would be pretty
sure to say just what the gift was.
This is one Of the big things to remem-
Der when you write your Thank you
notes. Mention the present in each
case.
This gives real personal touch to
your note and proves that you didn't
get your presents mixed up. If you
are one of the fortunate children who
get ever so many presents be sure to
keep track of the names Of the givers
If there is card attached don't take
it off until you are sure you will re-
member just who gave you that partic-
ular sled or doll or music box.
If you are afraid of spelling some
sheets of your pretty new paper be-
fore you get the note nicely placed get
some one to cut "a couple Of pieces of
ordinary paper of just the same size
as your Christmas note paper. With a
little practice you will learn just how
far up on the page to begin and about
how far down on the page your name
will come. No one expects long let
ter just at Christmas time but every
one has a right to expect prettily
expressed. neatly written note Of
thanks when there is no chance for a

produced strikingly beautiful appear
ance and have been spoken Of as one
object. Thec was about fifty days less
than two years before the death Of
Herod. fact which harmoniZes we'll
with other conditions Of the narrative,
for it is probable that the mandate
for the slaughter of all the children
two years old and under was issued
some months before his decease. and
the limit of two years would leave an
ample margin for any uncertainty as
to the time of the appearance of the
star, as related by the magi; also there
were no paschal full moons On Fri
day between the years B. e. = and
A. D. 33 and NO other following that
till A. D. 81.
From this it would seem to follow
that Christ was thirty eight Years old
at the time of the crucifxion, and this
would vindicate the sagacity of the
Jewish doctors who affirmed that he
was not yet fifty rorty?) years old. 1t
is remarked, too, that in the spring Of
the same year there was triple con-
junction of planets-Saturn. Jupiter
and Mars-and that the first two
named were In conjunction as seen
from the earth no less than three times
in the year preceding-that is. r. c. =.
Another theory about the star OF
Bethlehem which has been advanced
Is that the star seen by the mag is
Spica, the leading brilliant in the con-
stellation Of Virgo, the Virgin For
many years before and after the
Christian era the star was changing
it's place until It was then literally
star in the east" and its movement
in that direction may have been the
very fact noticed by the wise men of
some centuries preceding who expect
ed that the prophecy about the Virgin
would be fulfilled when its principal
star reached the position noted. 1t

planned. and the chief difficulty attend
ing the explanation lies in the fact
that such al important search as they
undertook is noticed " oniy one out
Of the four evangelists.
The uncertainty of the centuries In
regard to the date Of the Nativity in
year and month may never be cleared
up. Its existence has been unfairly
cited as reason for disbeIieving the
whole narration. The people Of 1900
years ago attached little Importance to
dates, except current ones, and it may
be remembered that the destruction
Of Jerusalem occurred between the
time Of the Nativity and the writing Of
