Men Say Yes. >

In the discussion Of this subject that
has been going on in The Georgian,
hundreds Of letters have been received
from both men and women. Almost
every letter written by man says en-
phatically that matrimony is a bore, and
a man is a fool TO get married. while
the women's letters are paean in
praise OF the happiness OF wedlock.
Here are samples OF the opinions OF
men on the question

e A Magic Night
ROMANCE OF A wIFE's FATE.

.GlVT TIAT do you want?" asked
wv Count Gremy of the man
who had suddenly jumped
from a thicket and rudely caught
hold of the bride of his horse.
Il have found a wolf trap in the
Trois Veneurs clearing" the man re-
piled, and I want to know If that
trap was intended for me to fall
into?"
The Count looked at the man, and
in the red beard and the small pierre
ing and still shifty eyes, he recog-
nized Chertier, the poacher, whom
his game wardens had described to
him. and whom they had tried in
vain to catch for months.
Il have no explanation to make TO
YOU said the Count, as he struck
him a furious blow across the face
with his heavy hunting crop. The
man made no cutlery but instructive
ly his hands went TO his face to
ward Off more blows, and before he
had collected his wits the Count had
just put spurs to his horse and was
gone.
Very WE'LL cried the poaCher. Il
will make YOU pay for that some
day"
The Count returned to St Ger
main-des Bots slightly upset by the
incident. A beautiful vision appeared
to him and soon effaced every mem
DRY of the poaCher. His wife, Luz
cienne. was waiting for him at the
door of the chateau.
Have you forgotten, dear, that we
are to dine with the Chavannes at
Antheaume tonight, and that the
pace is a fair distance from here?'
she asked
why. l really had forgotten all
about it," the Count returned.
He dressed hurriedly, and as il was
a beautiful evening, ordered his
phaeton brought out, declaring that
he would drive the spirited horses

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The holly is in full leaf and
berry, the mistletoe has forsaken
it's home in the top of the great
oak to set up it's shrine in the
homes of happiness; the tree of
Christmas is ablaze with light
and from every hearthstone
CLEANS the bright fires of home
ly cheer.
Christmas is here! The time
of good eating if there be one in
all the year, the time for re-
handing care and trouble to the
background, the time for the re-
unions of friendship and love,
is what Christmas means.
That it may mean all this to
you, is the wish of The True
Democrat.

KANSAS AND LOUISIANA.

ST. Landry Clarion.
Kansas land Is not to be compared
with the rich soil of this State, and
one has to pay handsome fortune in
order to purchase small farm. When
that State began booming some thirty
years ago, buying land was considered
the hugest joke in the country, but to-
day it is not so. The people of Kansas
published to the outside world the re-
sources of their country, the conse-
quence of which in a few years was
that State became a powerful factor
in the commercial world of this nation.
Why can not we Louisianians follow
the example set by the people of Kan
sas? Then we will surely have the
grandest State in the United States.
Tell the world of what your State is
doing, and it will not be long before
the progressive farmers of Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska will be flocking to
this State instead of going to the Brit
ish Northwest. Let us extend them
the glad hand, as they are the people
that we need and want here, and in a
few months we will be able to note a
change for the best. They are going
somewhere, why not invite them to
Louisiana?

KEEPING CHRISTMAS.
BY Henry Van Dyke.

BY Henry Van Dyke.
1t is a good thing to observe Christ
mas day. The mere making of times
and seasons, when men agree to stop
work and make merry together, is a
wise and wholesome custom. 1t helps
one to feel the supremacy of the COM
mon life over the individual life 1t
reminds a man to set his own little
watch, now and then, by the great
clock of humanity which runs on sun
time.
But there is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas day, and that
is, keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people, and to re-
member what other people have done
, for you; to ignore what. the world
owes you, and to think what you owe
the world; to put your rights in the
background; to see that your fellow
men are just as real as you are, and
try to look behind their faces to their
hearts, hungry for joy; to own that
probably the only good reason for your
existence is not what you are going to
get out of life, but what you are going
to give to life; to close your book of
complaints against the management Of
the universe, and look around you for
a place where you can SOW few seeds
of happiness-are you willing to do
these things even for a day? Then
you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires of
little children; to remember the weak.
ness and loneliness of people who are
growing old; to stop asking how much
your friends love you, and ask your
self whether you love them enough;
to bear in mind the things that other
people have to bear on their hearts;
to try to understand what those who
live in the same house with you really
want, without waiting for them to tell
you, to trim your lamp so that it will
give more light and less smoke, and
to carry it in front so that your shad-
ow will fall behind you; to make a
grave for sour ugly thoughts, and a
garden for your kindly feelings, with
the gate open-are you willing to do
these things even for a day? Then
you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love
is the strongest thing in the world
stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
stronger than death-and that the
blessed life which began in Bethlehem
nineteen hundred years ago is the
image and brightness of the Eternal
Love? Then you can keep Christmas.
And if you keep it for a day, why
not always?
But you can never keep it alone.
