Thinking over our own faults makes
a. talk less about olher people.
The Spectator., 1914-12-22

On account of the bad weather the Gem Theatre will give but three shows this week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
 If advertising does not pay why are the merchants of other towns so persistent at it? They certainly do not advertise just to give the newspaper something to do. La no Sentiment cuts no figure in business these days.
 In this issue will be found sev- eral letters from the children to Santa Claus. The letters arriv- ed a little late for the Christmas Number, but Santa shall read them just the same. Almost all of the letters show the result of the holiday advertising, most of the children agreed to meet Old Santa at the train Saturday. c. w. & Roy Bells advertising was an undisputable success.
 Quite a large crowd attended the Santa Claus arrival and bal loon ascension, which our enter prising confectioner, Roy Bell, promoted last Saturday. The little folks were very happy to see Santa, and escorted him to Bells where they witnessed the balloon ascension.
 The show windows in Ozark are more tastefully decorated now than we have ever seen them. Carl Strong always has Strong X Co.'S. windows very ar- tistically decorated. Blackburn Drug Go. and c. w. & Roy Bell have very attractive windows on every day occasions, and they are especially pretty during the holidays. The Fair, Montague Co. Mullen & Chancey, Nichols & Wakefield, w. J. Glenn and several others have their windows filled with attractive displays of Holiday goods.

Comparative Troubles.

We are full of afflictions and complaints. Our salary is too low, our rent too high. Some body of less merit gets a better. Our investment has gone wrong Our children are disobedient and extravagant. The street cars are slow and crowded. The wheat crop has failed. Cholera gets the hogs.
 Every now and then, however, we get the real measure of these tributions. This neighbor is not worrying much about salary or rent, because the doctors have told him he must soon die of can cer. That neighbor finds no fault in his child, because it lies dead. The poor ventilation of our house seems quite tolerable in contrast With that Otner house where snow beats through the cracks and there is neither fuel nor food. Before such comparisons we are dumb and contented for day or a week. So in our national life: how manifold and poignant are the causes of complaint until we look across at those places in Europe where death, wounds and beggary are the common lot!
 Then-well, we shall complain as often and as bitterly as ever: but we shall whistle Hail Colum- bia! under our breath while doing 1t. Saturday Evening Post.

Carbohydrates.

The carbohydrates were % naDo4 because they contain much of the sub stances carbon and hydrogen. Carbon, which forms the most of coal and wood which we burn to heat our houses and run our manufactories, forms . great part of our bread and vegetables. and after being eaten it is burned up. or oxidized, in our bodies to mako tho heat which helps us to digest our tDo0 and stimulates our nesves to aetioa. to the giving out of the enorgy ror Quired in daily life.

Origin of Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree is supposed by great numbers of people to have orig mated in Germany, but from a re- liable source We learn that the Christ. mas tree came in the first instance from Egypt. and its origin dates from & period much earlier than the Chris tian era. The palm tree is known to put forth a branch every month. and a spray of this tree with 12 shoots on it was used in Egypt at the time of the winter solstice as a sym bol of the completed year.

\ CHRISTMAS CONSPIRACY
How Grandmother's Heart Wac Glad. dsned by Remembrances From
 the Children.

'Grandmother Jessup!"
 Stella's tone was distinctly ac- cusing; 1t was evident that grand mother had something to answer for. Grandmother, from her invalid chair, looked across at the girl who stood at her bureau drawer. She had en- dured years of pain and weakness; but they had not succeeded in quench- ing the spirit in the frail figure; her voice was as saucy as a girls.
 Not guilty-what Is it?"
 It's your handkerchiefs. How many dozen have you?"
 Seven or eight You see, have seven of the dearest grandchildren in the world. It's queer, isn't 1t, that your nose should be so especially honored when you grow old?"
 But Stella's gray eyes forgot to laugh back at grandmother's. Some thing had disconcerted her She put the handkerchiefs back, made some trivial excuse. and ran up to her own room, where her sister and cousins were holding Christmas conclave.
 T wonder" she burst out that grandmother can endure Christmas at al!"
 What under the sun do you mean?" Corinne and Isabella ex- claimed together.
 "Corinne, what did you give grand mother for Christmas last year!"
 "A box of handkerchiefs. Why?"
 And you, Isabella?"
 "An embroidered handkerchief with little weeny initials"
 "Mollie?"
 Two handkerchiefs," Mollie con- fessed There didn't seem to be anything else-except slumber slip pers. and Aunt Maria always knits those"
 And Laurie and I gave her hand kerchiefs. We always give her hand kerchiefs-because she's old. and they're the easiest thing to think of! Girls-she isn't old-she's as young as any of us down in her heart, and she loves pretty things just as much as ever. This year let's give her the biggest surprise of her life-a Christ mas that will make her really happy"
 But how-what-" Corinne stam- mered.
 What do ve like best-each of us?"
 "Jewels," "Books!" Hand embroid- ery!" Candy" Silk stockings!" The answers came in a laughing shower.
 Well, then. why not? Grandma'd love a bit of jewelry from us-chosen just for her. And books-not Thoughts of Cheer as if she were melancholy. but love stories that end we'll. And why not embroider her something? And if not silk stockings, then a pair of slippers with tiny vel vet bows. As for candy, she'd love to have 1t to pass round. even if she couldn't eat much herself"
 And let Bob and Archie send her their absurd jokes as they do to the rest of us? It doesn't seem-respect- full"
 But grandma doesn't want to be seemed-respectful-to." Stella declared. Shed just love to be counted in with the rest of us. little vanities and jokes and all O girls, try 1t once and see!"
 And that was the way the Christ mas conspiracy started. Grand mothers eyes on Christmas morning were proof of it's succese.-Youths' Companion. f%

MAPLE GROVE

We are having all sorts of weather except dry and warm and not much work of any kind being done that can be pos tponed.
 Brother Nolen tried to hold a meeting at Mt. Hope last week, but the weather was so bad that they quit.
 John Hartman, of Kansas, and his family came several weeks ago and will visit his fa- ther-in-law. J. D. Mathews. until after Christmas.
 Doug Council was in Ozark yes- terday and gives a glowing ac- count of the coming of Santa Claus.
 Fay Council and his family moved back from Oklahoma three weeks ago and will live with his mother on the farm where he was raised. He liked the cool winds and fine land in Oklahoma and he raised nearly six bales of cotton this year in spite of the drouth, but feed stuff of all kinds was almost a total failure where he was and he came back to Arkansas to raise something besides cotton.
 Albert Council has been on the sick list for several days, but is up and about now.
 Our school at Maple Grove is still going on, but a few of the little fellows dropped out when it showed and turned so cold.
 Nearly every body has killed one or two hogs for fresh meat {, and several have killed all the fat hogs they have.
 Fay and Nal Council went south of Ellsworth to a saw mill and swapped hay.for lumber and will build an addition to their residence as soon as the weather will admit it.
 The sun is shining clear and bright this Monday morning and wagons are passing, going, SUD- pose after Christmas supplies to fix for Santa's coming.
 We are wishing the Spectator great success and the editor and his family peace and plenty. and a merry Christmas and a glad New Year to all the readers.
 Yesterday we received a letter \ Nom Hugh Nichols, of Dallas. 1esas and enclosed was a Money Order for su ubsciption to The Spectator one year in advance. No chance to dun Mir. Nichols, he remembers the dates and has a P. o. M. o. here a few days early, every year.

Song of the Christmas By Gene Morgan

l come from northern forest lands
 Where men would tarry never. The seasons come, the seasons go,
 But l am green forever, The flowers of spring bloom at my feet The shadows always spreading Near by there runs a forest path
 Where watchful deer are treading The summer passes all too soon,
 And autumn winds are chilly Poor flowers. they wither, droop and die Amid the woodland hilly.
