THE KEYNoTEs OF CHRISTMAS

Peace and goodwill are the
keynotes Of Christmas. IL IS d
hallowed thought that through
out the Christian world to-day
there is a spirit, expressed or i'm
piled, acknowledging that love is
the browning glory of existence.
To the child mind sweet gentle
peace and love comprise the en-
bodiment of all that is good and
pure. Therefore, in the inno-
cent life of children will be found
the noblest conceptions Of Christ
mas. Mirth, joyousness, thrill
ing anticipations Of the season
sparkle around the hearth stone
as visions Of Santa Claus fit
through their young minds.
To the mature mind Christmas
suggests a spirit of peace and
goodwill, as the fruition of love
ing and tender mercies. Cares,
worries and anxieties may, at
least for the time being, be
thrust aside and pleasures and
hopes be centered around the
child life.
In the busy busting world
amidst the rivalries and conten-
tons of business, illwill is so Of
ten engendered that, but for the
recurring seasons of peace and
goodwill, mankind would grow
very cold and heartless. The
mellowing influence of the mem
ory of the Christ Child and the
holy alteration that the season
inspires, turning the gaze of err
ing man to the Star of Bethlehem,
are potent factors in keeping in
dividuals and nations conscious
of the Divine Redeemer, and in
enforcing the precept that right
not might must rule under the
new dispensation.
Peace on earth and goodwill
towards mankind" should be the
wish and prayer of every Christ
ian heart to-day.
To our readers We tender the
compliments OF the season with
the hope that unbounded joy and
happiness may be their portion.

Further, there are two things he
knows every man should do; one Is to
earn a living, the other, to develop
within himself his latent possibilities.
He knows if he gives up farming and
undertakes to build up another bust
ness, that he loses by this change at
least fifteen years of valuable time,
since he has acquired many valuable
facts through experience and observa-
ton, which facts would be of no imam
cial value to him in another occupa'
ton. If he leaves the farm, he will
have to begin wholly at the bottom OF
the ladder again.
The Maryland farmers boy has
spent many hours, days, and months
studying and investigating conditions
on the farm. He has learned the es'
sentials of success, he can explain the
many opportunities in agriculture. He
has experimental with crop rotation,
He knows how to estimate profits. He
knows by experience the cost of farm
ing operations. He has had experience
with the necessary machinery to carry
on farm work. He knows how to han
die animals and what returns are re
ceived for them. He is not stranger
to the farm labor question. He has
acquired some knowledge of shipping
and marketing in a business way. He
is better acquainted with the laws at
fecting land and labor than those OF
any other occupation. He has kept
abreast of rural legislation and is fully
equipped to put in practice all of his
knowledge. AS the inventory Of facts
grows, the reasons are deeper and
clearer why he should remain on the
farm.
To sum up these reasons, the Mary
land farmers boy should remain on
the farm because he belongs there by
hereditary principles. He is needed
there to continue the work Of his fore
fathers in a more practical and profit.
able way. He knows that by not re.
naming he would lose many years OF
experience and take up an uncertain
proposition Of which he is In darkness.
He is confident that the soil is adapted
to his occupation. The climate is ideal
for his health and crop conditions. and
from the economical side Of the
proposition there is no state in which
he can practice farming more profit,
ably than in Maryland. He is con-
scious Of the fact that he can still be
a pupil at any of the agricultural col.
leges and thus avoid the many ruts
into which the old-time farmer fell
Finally, he knows that he will find
pleasure and enjoyment in making
two blades of grass grow where one
formerly grew and in trying out many
Interesting experiments on re.
sponsive soil.

is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

A few years ago a little girl,
who had been told by her friends
that there was no Santa Claus,
wrote to the editor Of the New
York Sun for the truth. This
was the answer she received:
Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been af-
fected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not be-
lleve except they see. They
think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensive by their
little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's, are
little. In this great universe of
ours man is a mere insect, an
ant in his intellect. as compared
to the boundless world about him,
as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole
truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists as GER
talnly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know
that they abound and give to our
life its highest beauty and ioy.
Alas! how dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa
Claus. 1t would be as dreary as
If there were no Virginias. There
would be no chiIdlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance, to make
tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, ex-
cept IN sense and sight. The
eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tlngulShed.
Not believe in Santa Claus.
You might as we'll not believe in
fairies. Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign there
is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the
world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing on
the lawn? Of course not; but
that's no proof that they are not
there. Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders that are
unseen or unseeable in the world.
No Santa Claus. Thank God.
he lives, and he lives forever.
A thousand years from now,

and years from now, he will cor

Road work nearing an end.

The cold weather has caused a sus-
pension of work on most of the state
roads until next spring. If the wealth
er will permit there are two or three
links which will be pushed to compile
ton.
During the year just closing the
State Roads Commission has had under
contract or completed, including over
head expenses, nearly Sc, 900, 900 of
work which is about SO per cent. of the
Sc, 5000 900 appropriation made by the
last legislature for two years work.
This represents between 400 and 450
miles of road which have either been
completed this year or have reached the
stage of their construction in which
they will be completed next spring.
The commission is advertising and let
ting the remainder of work to be done
and expects to have practically all of it
awarded by contract within the next
80 days. The net result of this will
mean that the state system as now
mapped out will be practically complet-
ed by the middle of next summer ex-
cept as to some spurs and bridges for
which the money was not provided by
the legislature, and some work in Balti-
more city, including the Hanover street
bridge.

surveys and plans, grading, surfacing,
bridges and culverts, underdrains, in

eral average Of 1896 for the aggre-

In addition to the state roads proper,
the State Roads Commission is at the

EXPLAINED BY THE STUDENT
Absence OF Sunday Really Was Not So
Much of Mystery as It Seemed
to Soldiers.

Some years ago a troopship was
making its way across the Pacific,
bound for the Philippines, carrying
squadron of the Ninth cavalry (col.
ored) The ship arrived at the 18Oth
meridian on Saturday evening, and
there was no Sunday that week, the
calendar skipping from Saturday to
Monday. The colored soldiers were
much puzzled by this remarkable &C.
currence, and many discussions arose
among them as to the explanation. A
wise old sergeant sitting on deck
smoking his pipe, was listening to a
group of disputants discussing the
question from every angle Finally he
could stand it no longer, and spoke up:
IF yuh niggahs II shut up TO- min
ute, and quit 'splayin' yo' ignan'ce, I'll
splain de mattah to yuh, SOS even yuh
can und'stan' it," How Is it, ser

ABOVE SUCH LITTLE MATTERS
How Foreign Tour Affected the
Business Attitude of Brook
Ign Grocer.

A thrifty BROOKLYN grocer, who be-
gan his career of success driving a de.
livery wagon, became ambitious after
he had bought out his former en-
ployer and for two or three years was
doing far better than ever and thought
he would make European trip as
others were doing who hadn't as much
money as he had He arranged his
business for a three months absence
and sailed away on a big ship, says
the Argonaut.
In due course he returned, ana his
foreign experiences had pulled him w
amazingly. He stuck to his grocery
but he looked down upon it with dis
dain and never lent a hand to his
clerks as once he did,
One day was standing in front
looking over the arrangement of the
various articles usually displayed in
front of groceries, and lady came by
who was one of his old customers
She looked around a minute or so for
what she wanted and found it. "Oh,
Mr.. Blank she said, what are the
potatoes WORTH" But he made no
reply. Not he. John" he called to
a clerk inside, John, come out her.
and tell the lady what potatoes are
worth"

Was Very Much In.

The collector was after dead beat
and there were rumors that he was in
more serious trouble even than owing
debts. The collector was told to get
after him at once and run him down
before anybody else got hold of him.
So he chose a time of day when the
d. b. would be most likely to be at
home and went to his house and rang
the bell The mans wife came to the
door. Your husband is in?" he said,
sternly-he made statement rather
than a question of it. She looked scared
and answered. "Y-yes, sir" Il want
to see him at once" he went on, very
severely. "Why, you can't see him."
she answered He's in, and yet can't
see him? I'd like TO know why
can't" because he's in for six
months" she sobbed, and shut the door
