Isn't AthOl going to have Christ
public place this year? All other
towns are preparing to give their
children a treat. and we know there
are boys and girls in our town, aud
right near Athol, who won't have
any Christmas unless they have it at
school or church or hall. We know
there are poor children in our cities
and in orphans homes, and they are
TO be pited, but they are well taken
care OF by the good people OF the city
in which they live. at Christmas time,
They do not lack Christmas treat,
oftentimes even turkey. (Hcw
many homes right here have a turkey
that day?) We believe "charity be-
gins at home" Let's give the chill
dren RICH. here in our midst a Christ
mas tree and a Christmas treat.
Some Athol pockets. Just now, are
pretty empty. and. no doubt, there
will be sone stockings in Alho! on

empty, too.

of such boys seem to o. X. everything
they do? 1t is reported that the
probation officer OF Cnur d'Alene has
again been sent for. He was here
last September, interviewing these
