Still Terrifying

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegram.
As an illustration that the march of
progress is mighty slow In some sections,
Thomas w. Lawson told of an accident
that hapepened in remote part OF Mas
sachusetts.
An old lady from the country and her
small grandson were driving to town one
day. according to Mr.. Lawson, when a
huge automobile bore down upon them
with wild Shrek of the unloyely horn.
The horse was badly frightened and be-
gan to rear and prance, whereupon the
old lady leaped from the wagon, waved
her hands and started to scream.
Seeing that a nixup was imminent, the
chauffeur stopped his car and hastened
forward to offer his assistance

The Tragedy of the Auto

Tie bought an automobile. and the
first ride he had IN 1t resulted as fol-
lows: He. ran over three colonels. two
doctors, knocked the little postoffice
building sideways. broke into a barn,
killed a fine mule and a Jersey COW,
and the last seen of that auto it was
doing its level best to climb the tall
est poplar tree in town. There are so
many warrants out for him that if his
case ever comes to trial it's dead GER

from the Wide World Magazine.
Mingled emotions surged in the breasts
of Jim Harris (master) and Mr.. Bland
(owner) of the Mulga Queen as they
stood together on the wharf at NIildu-
rinka one day in the year 1900 looking at
their steamboat Certainly she was not
much to look ADJUST a flat bottomed,
weather beaten old sidewheeler. while the
rusty piece of machinery bolted down on
deck alongside vertical boiler bore
more resemblance to steam chaff-eutter

Lord elp US. If We bump any big
snags this trip was all the reply that
Harris made to his employers reInarks.
In his hot youth skipper Harris had
been a cattle drover. and even now, with
an emus feather stuck in the band of his
battered felt hat and moleskin trousers
strapped under the knee, there was far
more of the bullock driver than the
ships captain in his appearance. Yet
he knew the river fairly we'll, having
made several successful voyages up
stream in an ill-fated craft called the
Belle of Mildura.
Harris had considered the Belle a: fine,
stout steam vessel, until she bumper
against the wharf at Bourke, and sank
like stone under his feet. Then sud
denly his eyes had been opened To her
unworthiness, and now he surveyed the
Mulga Queen with misgivings born of
his previous experience in shipwreck and
disaster

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Reference to newspapers published ip all a RaEtsl gg9aih| tAa e9pahY sAve aaq.e ' for fejOicing that Santa Claus is uni versally busy these days, and the in dications are sthat |hotwftiis thdihg there are many thousand more little girls and lboys than a year ago fewer will. be disappointed when they wake up Christmas morning.
 The spirit of Christmas is growing more and more unselfish and the hearts of men and women are becom ing more and more receptive to the mute pieadings of little folks not their own. Here in Pine Bluff there is to be 2 great big Christmas tree on which will hang toys and packages Of good things and clothing. This will be given by the Elks at the Elks Theater Christmas morning. Tn addi tion to this grand scheme of gift dis tribution there are various commend able semi-private enterprises tha will fill stockings with good thing. without word of inquiry as to wheth CT these stockings are ragged or other wise. The Associated Charities vii play an important part in this laud able work.
 As it is to be done in Pine Bluff so are similar efforts being put fortl in every city, town and hamlet in thu broad nation. The new Christmas spirit is spreading and developing and it is accomplishing wonders no only in bringing joy to thousands ant thousands of youngsters who nigh otherwise yearn in vain for evidence of Santa Claus's visit, but it is max ing nation full of men and womes better. The Christmas appeal reache the hear. It is different from any oth CT appeal. He who can resist this ap peal with hardened heart is dead tf every sense of human sympathy.
 The Christmas appeal plays legiti matel upon the most sacred memorie and it awakens thoughts that ma, have lain dormant for decades. Tn men and women who have been buffet ed by the storms of the years, wh' have battled with the adversities o a selfish world until their sensibili ties are calloused, can yet be reache' by this appeal in behalf of the littl' children.
 In times past it has been the GUS tom of the most well-to-do father and mothers to think only of thel own offspring, safe and warm in hom of comfort and luxury. To then Christmas meant only that their owl children should revel in ahunde1e , and enjoy the fruits of opulence Sometimes the real Christmas splrl was almost buried by the munificenc of it's expression. Children of the ricl were delighted by presents so extrav agant that they taught their recipient habits of improvidence and waste.

there and stay, make your home there
and live with them the life of the
lowly Nazarene until their lives are
touched and won for Christ and
cleanliness and the home. Then you
can know something of the sacrifice,
the suffering and the shame Christ
bore for you. But what real sacri-
fee are you making today? What a
terrible hardship it must be to spend
one afternoon month in a comfort
able rocking chair in a pleasant home
with your friends talking about mis-
sions! How much are you really
sacrificing for Christ? How long will
it take to solve the problem if every
one does as you do?"
Miss Snyder also gave an equally
interesting address in the evening
based more particularly on the work
among the Japanese and Chinese in
the western states.
