A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

T DREAMED a dream one Christmas
eve,
The strangest one, you may believe
Il Twas of a world divinely fair
Beyond the blue, far off, somewhere.
There grief and tears were all unknown,
And love supreme reigned on the throne.
All, such joyful, gladstone world,
Where sorrows bolts were never hurled!
Here faces gaunt with poverty
Deride the rich in mockery
All equal there were each to each,
The best within pauper's reach.
No surging, crushed, downtrodden masses.
No proud, elite or clan made classes;
No seasoned joys for just few
In this fair realm beyond the blue;
No stalking want with piteous voice;
No poor to feed. All had their choice
OF that which seemeth just and good.
All things We're rightly understood.
No broken hearts orTacking pain;
No avaricious, blood bought gain;
No grasping. grinding, selfish greed
That others welfare doth not heed.
All things were perfect al the love
That ruled this spotless world above.
Were this sad world like to my dream
And love ruled all, it's right supreme,
Ah where the chance for kindly deeds?
Were there no poor to voice their needs. ,
Were such state sublimely true,
Oh, where the good that we might do?
Were there no faces dewed with tears,
Where, then, the solace of the years?
! If this world knew no grief, no care,
Could We our brothers burden share?
All, love would lose much of its worth
| Were there no charity on earthl
Perhaps it's better as 1t is
Than live in realms of perfect bliss,
For out of evil cometh good
When God is rightly understood.
| uya boil nd
And not in halcyon dreams somewhere
UIbift and help thy fellow man
And do the greatest good you can
To make this world like that above
Controlled and swayed by Christly love.

Changing Attitude Shown In Pleased
Acceptance Of the American Flag.

The Rodman Wanamaker expedition
Of citizenship to the North American
Indian has made a journey nearly
equal to the circumference Of the globe,
occupying more than six months of
time. Three thousand miles We're trav-
eled by stage over mountains and des-
erts. One hundred and cighty-nine
tribes have raised the American flag,
joining the thirty-two chiefs who took
part with President Taft in opening
the ground for the national Indian me-
mortal at Fort Wadsworth New York
harbor, on Washington's birthday last
The expedition has obtained the sig
natures and thumb marks of this array
of red men, every tribe in the United
States being represented, and will be
able to furnish the government and the
nation with comprehensive survey of
all the tribes both as recorded by the
ern reservation has been visited, with
the consciousness, says Joseph X.
Dixon, leader of the expedition, that
the flag has made new era for the
Indian and has changed the destiny of
a whole race of people.
One of the five great races of the
world because of this expedition faces
new morning. The influence of the
flag has united the white man and the
red man in a common purpose, COM
mon aims, common aspirations. A
great chief said: "Since the flag has
come to us our road now leads straight
toward the new morning."

Economical Miss Munson ls Also Po-
lice Head and City Attorney.
Even little place like Warrenton,
Ore, with only few hundred people,
has its civic problems, and woman
mayor is credited with solving some of
them. Her name is Miss Clara G.
Munson.
Warrenton formerly employed a city
attorney and a policeman. AS mayor,
backed up by the council, Miss Nun
son was given free hand, so she dis
pensed with the services of both these
officials. She is now mayor, city at
torney and chief of police. The money
saved by dispensing with the services
of city attorney and police officer is
going into improvements, rebuilding
old sidewalks and putting in new ones.
Mayor Munson even gets free legal
advice. This is furnished by the
mayor of neighboring town. The
wide publicity given Miss Munson as
the only western woman mayor result
ed in her receiving eight or ten pro-
posals of marriage from men scattered
from Alaska to the mining camps of
the southwest.

The UnwiSe Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, and all
through the house
One creature was stirring, and that was
mouse.
The stockings that hung by the chimney
with care
He'd nibbled the toes Of them, pair after
pair.
He ate all the candy, six candy canes, too
Not a morsel was left when that mouse
had got through.
The moral of which-if you know what a
sight is
A mouse that has perished of acute gas
tritis-
That Christmas itself may be called into
question
If carried so far 1t creates indigestion.

Reading a Horses Face.

The teachable, tractable horse is
broad and fat between the eyes. The
bony ridge of his face dishes slightly
from the point where the face narrows
toward the nostrils. His ears are well
set, sensitive and far apart, with a
we'll defined ridge of bone extending
across the top of the head between
them. Always feel for this ridge in
judging a horse. The eye should be
large, clear and bright, with promi-
nent ridge of bone along the inner and
upper edge of the socket.-London An
