AmnarcA,s OPPORTUNITY.

There are altogether too many
pessimists In this country who
are kicking about the effect Of
the European war on business
Coming as II did immediately
| after a period of depression Il
kindled anew In the minds Of
some people the feeling that
prosperity would not return for
long time. As matter of fact
the wars big cost will fall on
Europe and as soon as the final
treaties of peace are signed the
commercial and financial ascen.
dencycof the United States l.
bound TO begin--then we win
have to get busy and figure out
ways and means to fill orders
helping to rebuild Europe and
we will have no time to lament
over anything.
As. a result of the war there
has been a more or less disar-
rangement of business and A.
nance, but II is now well In hand
and will entirely stop as soon as
peace. Is In sight - and that
should be soon.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS CLOSING OUT
FOR WINTER.

The report reaches this office that
IA number of the country Sunday
schools will close out at once, and go
into winter quarters.
In some localities it may be difficult
for a few Sundays at n time, on ac-
count of bad weather and bad roads,
for small children to get to church,
but they do go to day schools, five
days in the week, through this same
weather and over these same roads,
and the men go to their work, and
come clear to town over these same
roads. But, strange to say, they can't,
any of them, go to Sunday school for
an hour, one day in the week. What
are our good roads for, and why were
they built? Some schools, right on
these good roads, are closing. The
trouble is not with the roads or the
weather. Scratch off the outside, and
down under the vest or the hat, OF
both, the trouble will be located all
right, which is, that We don't believe
deeply and truly in this Sunday school
business. If we did, we'd go after it
and into it just like we do the day
schools and our business. Well, it does
no good, it seems, to fuss about it
When springtime comes again the
schools will reopen, and go ahead
again.

THE HOGS WE'RE PUZZLED.

~ was horsebacking," says a st.
Louis man, through the woods in
that portion of Arkansas in which the
hogs still run wild. In heavily tim
bered tract came upon a big herd of
porkers that were behaving in the
most extraordinary manner. They
would run madly in one direction for
hundred yards or so, squealing Wig
orously and hopefully, then stop, sniff
the air, utter shrek OF disappoint-
ment and make an equally mad dash
at another angle. l watched them
some time without being able in the
least to fathom the mystery.
"Half mile further on, came to
a cabin in the woods. An old man
sat on an inverted keg inside the
doorway, smoking corncob pipe. The
quandary of the hogs was still worry
ing me, so, as soon as we had passed
the time of day, / said:
"Those hogs down in the brush arc
acting very strangely. How do yor
explain it?"
'Them's my hawgs,' same in :
stagew hisper. Il used to call 'em uT

HARRY THAW GETS
CHRIST M AS GIFT
u. S. Supreme Court Says He
Must Go Back to New York
to See Jerome and Courts.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The fight OF
New York State to extradite Harry
X. Thaw from New Hampshire was
upheld today by the United States
Supreme Court in an unanimous
opinion, reversing Judge Aldrich, of
the Federal district court of New
Hampshire. Justice Holmes. speak
ing for the court. declared the case
was "too clear for lengthy argument"
and swept aside as irrelevent all con-
tentions of Thaw's counsel.
Conspiracy to escape from Mattea-
wan insane asylum, to which he was
committed after killing Stanford
White in 1906, is the charge on which
Thaw stands indicted in New York.
On this Indictment, once the prisoner
is again in the hands of the New
York authorities, will begin anew
Thaw's battle against being returned
to Matteawan. Just what the line of
action then taken may be was not
known here tonight.

BELCIUM'S QUEEN
APPEALS FOR AID
Addresses Letter to the Ameri-
can People in Behalf of Her
Starving Subjects.

The following letter has been ad.
dressed to American people though
the ladies by the Queen of the Bel
gums:
l have learned with qualification of
the noble and effective work being
done by American citizens and Off
cials on behalf of my stricken people.
l confidently hope that their efforts
will receive the ungrudging support
which we have learned to expect from
the generous womanhood of America.
We mothers of Belgium, no less
than the mothers of America, have
Tor generations instilled in our chill.
dren the instincts and the love of
peace. We ask no greater boon than
to live in peace and friendship with
all the world. We have provoked no
war. Yet in defense of our hearth
stones our country has been laid
waste from end to end: the flow of
commerce has ceased, and my people
are faced with famine. The terrors
of starvation, with it's consequences
OF disease and violence, menace the
unoffending civilian populations: the
aged: the infirm: the women and the
children.
American officials and citizens in
Belgium and England, alive to their
ccuntry's traditions, have created an
organization under the protection of
their Government and are already
sending food to my people, and hope
thatt hey may receive the fullest sym
pathy and aid from every side.
l need not say that | and my peo-
pie Shall always hold in grateful re-
membrance the proven friendship of
America in this hour of need.

DON'T TALK HARD TIMES.

In these strenuous and troubled
days of Notwithstanding events it is be-
coming the habit of many people to
talk of poverty and failure and trials

Such talk is worse than useless; il
is criminal, because it is creating fear

A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS.

Twas the night before Christmas through
Not creature stirring, a mouse;
The stockings hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas would be there;
The children nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
And mamma in her kerchef and n my cap
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap
When out on the lawn there such a cater
1 sprang from my bed to what the matter.
Away to the window flew like FASH
Tore open the up sash
The the breast of the new-fallen
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick,
1 knew in a it be st. Nick
More rapid than eagles his courses they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and call them by
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet! Cupid! Donder and Blitzen
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now dash away, dash away dash away ALL"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they with obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up the house-top the they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys-and st. Nicholas, too
And then in a twnkling heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof.
AS drew in my head and turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas with bound.
He dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
i And his clothes all tarnisted with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack
His how they twinkled his dimples how merry!
His cheeks like roses, his like cherry;
H little mouth drawn up like bow
4 And the beard on his chin white the
j stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
i And the encrced his head like wreath.
I He had broad face and little round belly,
That shook when he laughed like bowl full OF Jelly,
II He chubby and pump-a right jolly old elf;
And l laughed when 1 him, in spite of myself.
A wink of eye and twist of his head
j gave know had nothing to dread
Il He spoke word, but went straight to his work.
4 filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk,
!, And laying his finger aside of his
u And giving nod, the chimney he
sprang his sleigh, to his team whistle,
h And away they all flew like the down of thistle;
h But heard him excam, as he drove out of sight,
II Happy Christmas to ALL and to all goodnight!
