Only A Temporary Abode.

at cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. II cannot be that our lie
is bubble cast up by the ocean OF eter-
nifty to float moment upon its waves and
sink into nothingness. Else, why these
high and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the tempe OF our hearts,
forever wandering unsatsfied Why is
il that the rainbow and cloud come over
us with beauty that is not OF earth, and
then pass off, TO leave us TO muse on their
loveline S? Why is it the stars which
hold their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp ofour Inn
tied faculties, forever mocking US with
their unapproachable glory? And, hnal-
ly, why is if that the bright forms OF hH-
man beauty are presented 10 our view
and taken from us, leaving the thousand
streams OF our affections TO flow back TO
Alpine torrents upon our hearts? we
were born for higher destiny than earth.
There is realm where the rainbow new
er fades, where the stars will be spread
out before us like tile islands that sluIn-
Der on the ocean. and where the beautl-
tul beings that pass before us like shad-
ows will stay forever in our presence. -

Proved He Was Eligible.

Robert Thorpe. an old Missouri stage
driver, who recently died in Texas. used
TO tell story OF how Anderson, the Jay
hawkei, got one Of his recruits. The
Anderson boys held up Thorpe's stage
near Glasgow one day. Among the pas
sengers was raw -boned young Mis-
sourian who looked about as tough as the
Jayhawkers themselves.
Give me yer val'ables," Anderson
demanded of the youth as he went down
the line.
"Ain't got none" answered. the young
squirrel hunter.
"Where yo' going2"
"To iine Anderson's JayhawkerS."
The rebel leader sized him up.
"Kin ye swim the Missoury river ?" he
asked him.
"Reckon so, the young man answered.
could ye kill man 2"
"Reckon So"
Anderson stepped forward and spai
in the youngsters face. The youth
bounded at The Jayhawker like a cat,
caught him full in the face with a right
swing and went down on top OF him,
kicking and clawing.
The Jayhawkers pulled the young
demon off and their leader got up.
"You belong" he sad. BOYS, give
him hawse."

II was pay day at the Consolidated
Coal and Lumber Works. and mine
worker was returning home with his
monthly envelope. He met bad man
with a pistol, who demanded his wages.
The worker handed the money over.
Now" said he, my wife will think

restored to health.
Catarrh of the throat is not only ali
annoying disease of itself, but 1t ex-
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our throats numerous atmos-
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat is healthy the system is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But II the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little ul-
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle
the throat as explained in the new
ILLS of Life" sent free by the Peruna
Co.. Columbus, Ohio.
Mr.. Barnes says: II had throat
trouble and had three doctors treat

good, and pronounced my health gone.

using four bottles can say I was en-

Lord of the Christmas.

Lord OF the Christmas. where today
The wee feet OF the children stray.
Where want and woe and illness bide,
Where crime and care and SHINING hide.
Where canker and corruption brew.
Let the dear gentle light peep through.
The message ring, the tocsin pour
Lord OF the Christmas, help the poor
Where mothers lean with weary breast
Above some little crib OF pain;
Where dark threatening shadows rest
And all the gentle hope seems vain;
Where little hearts beat timidly.
So all-uncertain in their gloom,
Lord OF the Christmas unto these
The Christmas Of eternal bloom.
Where strife broods heavy over all
And drear the outlook and torlom;
Where love and peace forget to call,
Where sorrows night outlasts the morn:
Where at some weary mothers knee
little group she cannot aid
May gather, bring the Christmas glee-
Lord of the tmid and afraid.
Where little lips to broken hearts
Ask for boon they cannot give;
Where. in the thunder OF the martS,
A million shuddering dreamers live:
Help them TO laughter once again,
That through the binding OF their tears
The spirit OF Gods grace in men
May heal the heartache OF the years.
Lord OF the Christmas, where they plod
In poverty. lift up Thy rod
That under il TO pass may be
Their gift OF gladness and OF glee:
And where. Oh, Father, in their dream
The lights OF human gladness gleam.
Help them TO realize once more
Thy pity for the i'll and poor

A White Christmas.

There is one way to make white
Christmas even though there may be not
a flake OF snow in sight. Let the white
ness be in your heart. Put aside all
thoughts OF guile. Forget all the big or
little bitterness you may be entertaining
against some other person. Cast out all
envy, all covetousness, all unkindness.
Endeavor TO harbor in your heart only
such thoughts and feelings as the Naz-
arene knew when he dwelt by Galilee
Cultivate human brotherhood. Practice
Christian charity. Look beyond and
above your workaday horizon. Get into
the hearts OF others.
Then you will be sure OF white
Christmas this year.

The Longing For The Past.
By The shepherdstown Bard.


How wish that could wander
With the merry boys again
Through the woodland over Yonder
And adown the may lane.
With uddy haiche, swinging
For the havoek Of the green.
Mid the songs the birds were singing
On the barren hills serene.
II would make me think OF Xmas
Just the way thought before,
And the days so sadly fading
To my memory would restore.
ltwouid Soothc me as pondered,
For the cedar and the fern.
And Id dream that ! had wandered
For a brighter land 10 learn.
How I'd love TO wash the blackboard.
Jus, 10 write In letters fine.
A Merry Christmas Happy New Year
To my comrades. all sublime:
And 10 linger round the lasses.
Fixed in dress OF motley sweet.
And TO smile and render passes.
Then endeavor 10 retreat.
= But my Christmas now Is over.
And sieh and sigh In vain,
For cannot be rover
In the woods or In the lane.
Is il IRON my memory lading1
No its ioken floats ahigh
So. the future years arc braiding
For my heart a bitter sigh.

The Three Kings.

Three kings go riding into town.
Under the fading sky:
AT dusk into small Bethlehem town
Three kings go riding by.
Dim men upon dim camels there.
As in dream OF old
The tang OF myrrh across the air;
A wavering CLINT OF gold.
And all the folk come running out
They look so dim and high
From the gray doors the folk run out.
To see the kings go by.
Silent they stand out in the lane:
Along the fading ground,
The camels' hoois strike thick and plain:
Ii is the only sound
And after. not a word is spoke.
They draw the latch and sigh.
II is not Oft that humble folk
Do see three kings 90 by.
Three kings ride into Bethlehem town.
They ride IRON far and far:
Three kings go riding into town,
Accompanied by star.
