tie ones who, unlike themselves, had
been deprived of home through the
death of their fathers and mothers,
anil who had become charges Of the

prvided by Superintendent Duns-
ford and his co-workers in the school
and all the children were provided
with presents and candy. There
were songs and carols and just enough

the desire for the defoliation of the
tree. Happy children.
~ At the Baptist Church.
Santa Claus made special visit
to the Baptist church on Thursday
night and brought his youngest son
with him-Santa Claus Jr. They
were to arrive at 7:30 in the evening
and were to participate in beauti-

Grandmas." This cantata has
been under preparation for several
weeks and gave every promise of be-
ing a rare treat to all who attended
the exercises.
At the Methodist Church
The Methodist Sunday school
couldn't get chance at Santa Claus
this week and it is said the earliest
date he could make convenient would
be Tuesday evening of next week.
Dec. goth, so this was accepted
There will be a regular Christmas
tree with the limbs touching the
floor from the very weight of the
gifts. There will also be a program
of carols and recitations.

A Tribute to Women.

1t takes a hundred men to make
one encampment, but one woman
can make home. | not only ad-
mire woman as the most beautiful
object ever created but | rever-
ence her as the redeeming glory
of humanity, the sanctuary of all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of head and heart. 1t is
not just nor right to lay the sins of
Men at the feet of Women. 1t is
because Women are so much better
than Men that their faults are con-
sidered greater. A Mans desire is
the foundation of his Love, but a
WOman'S desire is born of her
Love.
The one thing in the world that
S constant, the one peak that rises
above all the clouds, the one win
dow in which the light forever
burns, the one star that darkness
cannot quench is Woman'S Love.
1t rises to the greatest heights, ii
sinks to the lowest depths, it for
gives the most cruel injuries. 1t is
perennial of every life and grows in
every climate. Neither GOODNESS
nor neglect, harshneSS nor cruelty
can eXtinguish it. A Woman's
Love is the perfume of the heart
This is the real love that subdues
the earth; the love that has wrought
all miracles of art; that gives us
music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings
of life. A love that is greater thar
power, sweeter than life, stronger
than death.-Robert G. Ineersoll.

FlavorS His Melons.

In order to give his melons a
more delicious flavor than they nat
urally possess, Harrison Liticker
says he flavors them by means of
sugar syrup and extracts. His
method is to fill a bottle with sugar
syrup that has been favored with
vanilla, raspberry, orange or other
extract. When melon is just
nicely ripe, but not too ripe, he
takes a strand of yarn, puts one end
in the bottle of syrup and by
means of a darning needle runs the
other through the stem of the mel.
on to be favored. In dry weather
he reports that the melon will alb.
sorb from a half pint to a pint o.
the liquor, which will give it a de
! licious flavor.-Lewistown Record
