a CHRISTMAS VISION.

BY John Kendricik Bangs.
In the Christmas (December) Scribner
On Christmas Eve mid all the joy
Gus glee
That in my Righteousness surrounded
me,
1 happened by some chance to turn
mine eye
Out through a window-wreath that
hung near by.
And as / glanced through it into the
night
seemed to see, lit by some holy
light,
A childish face with wistful,' smiling
That thrilled me to my very finger
tips.
Two eager hands stretched forth call
ed. as In stress
To me to carry help to Helplessness,
And in the sad eyes of that child
In all it's loveliness the Christmas
Law
Not a command, no everlasting must
Upon Reluctance for it's teaching
thrust.
But just a pleading hint to him who
That all who suffer are Gods Little
Ones!
Ane then the picture in the wreath
was gone,
And in it's place the Eastern Star
beams shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wisemen with their
heavenly glow;
And cen as they l wandered through
the drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer. and give release, and pay
my due
Unto my Lord thro' them that suffer
rue.

aim at when it comes to throwing
bouquets at themselves.

themselves.
Some Women-Feel that they don't
know how to take a man, even before
he offers himself.

MAIDEN MEDTTATIONS.

Some girls are so fond of being
waited on that they will stand by a
revolving door until some man comes
and gives it the necessary impetus.
When a girl with wistfu! blue eyes
tells a man she is afraid Of him ned
better be afraid for himself.
When an idle rumo' gains currency
make sure that 1t was not idle in tar
ryin" by the wGyside
The man who takes a woman's ad-
vice is either fool who won't profit
by 1t or strong man who does not
need it.
oh. Love may laugh ut locksmiths-
So goes the ancient rumor-
But it takes itself too seriously
To have a sense of humor.

Cool Brinkley - A Sum
 mer Health Resort

The weather in Brinkley during the past two weeks has been a source of joy to all stay at homes.
 The hot. dry spell was broken by cool and refreshing showers two weeks ago and ever since that time we have been having it nice. It is so cool that 1t IS necessary for coats and wraps Tn the evenings. Of course Brink leyites who are away at some "cool spot paying a pretty high rate at hotels where even the high rates doesn't get them the comforts and conveniences of their own homes, don't know how very cool and pleasant it is back in dear old Brinkley" or else they'd hike it back home.
 Since the recent general rains and these 14days of cool wealth CT, it is a sure thing that the back bone of the summer is broken and the remainder of the summer season will prove most delightful.

James M. Howard

One of the saddest Of all sad events was James NJ. Howard departing to his Heavenly home from a burning building, at Fisher, Ark, at 3:l5 q. m. Thursday, Aug. 6. Just how lit happened will never be known by his grief stricken relatives and friends.
 The building where he was boarding was on fire at three o'clock. He was sleeping on the second floor, with other boarders, all of whom made their escape safely and thought he had made his until they missed him while the building was burning.
 So sure then that he had made his escape safely that they searched and re-searched the whole town for him, but to no avail and on returning to the burned building they could see t h charred remains. The supposition is: He went to a friends room to call him, not knowing he was safely down. stairs, and on opening the door met the flames which killed him instantly, as his remains were found underneath the friends room about two hours after the building caught on fire.
 James. son of Mir. and Mrs. 0. Howard. was born May l3, 1891 at McDaniels. Ky, and with his parents. brother and sisters moved to Hunter, Ark, their present home, few years ago.
 While his fate cast a gloom over the entire community, the life that he had lived gave to his loved ones and friends full assurance that he had entered into the joys of his Lord.
 His life and death brought a
