CHRISTMAS Day

Christmas tide has twofold in
terest, material and spiritual.
Some love it because it comes "but
once a year, and when it comes it
brings good cheer" and others be-
cause it is pre- eminently the season
Of universal reconciliation of "peace
on earth and good will toward men,"
Families may be scattered during
the rest Of the year, but at this
time their members strive to reunite
and, where this is impossible, the
exiled ones turn their faces longing
" towards hearth and home.
All the world keeps Christmas day.
From the land OF the midnight sun
to the sunny south of perpetual
summer is a far cry. But in the long
distance there is no land where
Christmas is not kept. Its cele-
bration is a part of the universal
history Of the human race. What
ever. may have been its origin and
whatever pecularities may have
gathered about it in its adoption to
different people and different cir
cumstances, it is to us Americans to-
day practically national feast.
To keep it was at one time, and
in our own part of the country, II
is true, penal offense. 1t was
thought to SAVIOR of prelacy and to
foster unpleasant memories of 20
litical servitude. But it has grow
with our growth and the broad
mindedness Of the American people
is seen at its best in the heart!

COLOSSAL AFRICA

Dan Crawford says: "Africa is
far, far bigger than you think. Give
me the whole Of India, and in ita
goes. Now, the whole Of China, and
in that goes, too. Plus India and
China, give me Australia, and in the
three go easily. And still Africa,
like Oliver Twist, asks for more. So
we will put in Europe. In it all
goes, and even than have what l
believe the Vanderbilts call marginal
millions. And yet you hear people
speaking, as if when you were In
Central Africa you could live the
life Of a sort of week-ender, and
just run out to see your friends the
Joneses or the Robinsons."

GIFTS OF CHILDHOOD

How dear to my heart are the gifts
Of my childhood,
When fond recollections present
them to view;
The old rubber doll with the whistl-
ing stomach
Which was such q miracle when
it was new.
The hand-painted sled and the twen-
ty cent jackknife,
The animal blocks and the little
tin train,
Brought JOY to our heart that
amounted to rapture,
A joy that we never will pass thru
again.
The fine jumping-jac and the model
pile driver,
The hose cart and engine that
pulled with a string;
The toy hook and ladder, the real
magic lantern,
The drum which my father would
burst the first thing.
Of course, nowadays, they would
seem sort of foolish
The things that old Santa brought
when we were small,
But when you consider the joy thai
they gave up,
The old fashioned presents wer'
best after all.

bob" BRECKIN-
RIDGE RETURNS

A man who said he was Robert
Breckenridge, son Of the late Col.
W. c. P. Breckenridge, for twenty
years member Of Congress from
Kentucky, last week walked into the
office Of Secretary Of State L. G.
Stevenson, at Springfield, ILL.,, and
declared that he was the man who
disappeared twenty-three years ago
while going to Europe in a ship that
was wrecked. Mr.. Stevenson said
he identified the man as Breckin-
ridge, his youthful friend, and dis
closed the story of a soldier of for
tune told by the man. Breckin-
ridges parents died in the belief
that their son was drowned when
the ship went down in May, 1891.
The man told Secretary Stevenson
marvellous story of travel and ad-
venture that circled the world. He
said that he had fought with the
Allies during the Boxer troubles III
China, with the Beers in Africa and
with the Federals in Mexico. He
told of gold mines owned in Africa
fortunes made and lost in Austrahs
and of business reverses that had
made him Mexican mercenary
solder.
The Breckenridge family in Ken
lucky was advised Of the mans re-
turn.
Upon his arrival ut Springfield
although greatly changed in ap-
pearance, Secretary Stevenson says
he recognized Breckenridge at once
His father and former Vice Presi-
dent Adlai Stevenson, father OF
Secretary Stevenson, were lifelong
friends.

WHEN SOME ONE CARES

When you meet some disappoint-
ment, an yer feeIn' kind-o-
blue;
When yer plans have all got side
tracked er some friend has
proved untrue;
When yer toiling, praying, strug-
Cling at the bottom NV the
stairs
1t is like a panacea-just to know
that some one cares.
Some one who can appreciate ones
efforts when he tries;
Some one who seems to understand
and so can sympathize;
Some one who, when he's far away,
still wonders how he fares
Some one who never can forget
some one who really cares.
It will send thrill of rapture
through the framework Of the
heart;
It will stir the inner bein' till the
tear drops want to start;
For this life is worth the Twin, when
some one yer sorrow shares
Life is truly worth the Twin, when
you know that some one cares.
Oh, this world is not all sunshine
many days dark clouds dis
close;
There's cross for ev'ry JOY bell
an thorn for ev'ry rose:
But the cross is not so grievous, ne1
the thorn the rosebud wears
An the clouds have silver hnin's-
when some one really cares.

 Among the younger authors America possesses no writer of fiction than George K, Baker, There are in "Halie- ia" properties suggestive of Ktpiing- not that any influence of Kipling is there discernibie. but for the reason that the story, while old as humanity itself, possesses something of the fresh ness that Kipiing brought to literature |30 years ago These properties make the story essentially new. Between the covers of this book the East and the West meet in Egypt, So vividiy has Mir, Baker presented his pictures that one feels the hot breath of the harem itself, where lived Haiiefa, the favorite of the "jaekal of the city, Sahim, Her love for Stephen Blair, a young English officer, the part she played in the Bedeuins plot against the government and her sacrifice, unite to make story that cannot fail to hold the most jaded reader under the spell of it's charm.

He Is an i'm placa ble foe of pebble skirts long hat pins and most millinery. His views on the woman question are enlighten- ing.
