A Real Santa Claus.

ANTA CLAUS, I hang for you,
By the mantel, stocking two,
One for me and one to go
To another boy I know.
There's a chimney in the town
You have never Travelled down.
Should you chance to enter there
You would find a room all bare.
Not a stocking could you spy,
Matters not how you might try.
And the shoes you'd find are such
AS no boy would care for much.
In a broken bed you'd see
Some one just about like me,
Dreaming of the pretty toys
Which you bring to other boys,
And to him a Christmas seems
Merry only in his dreams.
All he dreams, then, Santa Claus,
Stuff the stocking with, because
When it's filed up to the brim
I'll be Santa Claus to him!

CIUCS OFT IIIIIIOIS OdSCs

passed upon.

on certain byproducts of grain from
Mississippi river crossings and ad-
yances in proportional rates on grain
from upper Mississippi river points
had not been justified and that exist
ing rates must continue in effect.

Sunday School Teachers
Training Class.

What makes a successful Sun
day School? There is but one
answer, the teacher. whose duty
it is to import bible knowledge
and therefore mold character in
the right manner. If this is the
teachers duty. Are we prepared
for such work? If not, are we
willing to make use of opportun-
tiles afforded US for better pre-
paration?
Doubtless the majority of
teachers feel that they would
like to give their pupils system
attic and connected knowledge of
the bible this cannot be done by
studying the Lesson Helps only
but a great many fear to begin,
because they have not had the
proper training themselves and
are not sure what steps to take.
Training for Service" will
help any one who studies the
work closely. Its aim is to give
plans, to enable the teacher to
get and hold the general sweep
of bible history. 1t also enables
him to learn something of child
nature, not only will it Der eft
the teacher but it will give the
pupil a clearer understanding of
the bible than he has ever had.
This work is both practical and
helpful; besides. bible study
possesses a new charm when
done Systematically.
There is to be an effort made
by the Sunday School workers to
organize a Teachers Training
Class in every school in the
county. All who are interested
in Sunday School work, please
think over this matter carefully
and prayerfully and when you are
asked to help, we hope you will
have decided you owe it to your
self and your school to Join a
class.

In Memory.

On the 10Th day of Jan. 1913,
Little Donnie Dean Franklin
was called from the home of his
parents here below, up to the
Heavenly Home. His stay here
was but a very short one, only
the little span of twenty eight
months, but it was once filled
with sunshine; Like the sweet
flowers and singing Of birds was
this precious child in the room
of his sick father; when he left
them it was only that they could
see him afar. and hear his darl-
ing voice calling Father and
Mother" to join him and little
Brother over there, where sin
sickness and death are unknown
Let us lift up our eyes and be.
hold yon bright Home, where we
stall soon meet our loved and
lost.
We wept- twas Nature wept,
but Faith
Can pierce beyond the gloom
of death,
And in yon world, so far and
bright, -'.--
Behold Thee in refulgent light;
We miss thee here, yet faith
would rather
Know thou art with thy heav-
emily Father.
But thou art gone! not lost,
but flowni
Shall l then ask thee back, NY
own,
Back-and leave thy heavenly
Father?
Back to earth and sin?- Nay;
rather
Would live in solitude!
would not ask thee if could;
But patient wait the high de-
cree,
That calls my spirit home to
thee! T. c. G,

WOMAN CANDIDATE LOSES
Gets Only 400 Votes for Mayor
of Topeka, Kan.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune !

Topeka. Kan. March 2L-The ohiy
woman who ever asked to be elected 10
an executive Office in Topeka went 90" .
to defeat in the non-partisan city pri-
maries on wednesday She was NJ.
May Taylor. prominent in local society
who has espoused the cause OF the So
cialists. She was a candidate for Mayor
and received less than per cent OF the
votes cast falling short even OF the usual
Socialist vote.
Mrs. Taylor had persistently kept ner
cause before the public since announcing
her campaign, two months ago. Kansas
las tried q few women Mayors. The last.
the Mayor OF Hunnewell. Kan. has JUST
succeeded In busting all the members or
her City Council for holding meetings In
places where. as a woman. she would not
go. So Topeka took unkindly 20 a wom-
ans candidacy. and in casting nearly
l4OUO votes for the six candidates for tina
office gave her only 400. in spite OF the
fact that women vote In Topeka, rs we'll
as men. and that Mrs. Taylor had par
ticularly appealed 10 the women OF the
city for support. Mrs. Taylor says she
will try again
