Probably the most unique figure IN

following from Mrs. LoFollette:
Senator Robinson unhesitatingly
testified regarding the special inter

GIVES ENTERTAINING

Tuesday night at the Presbyterian
church the Sunday school gave their
Christmas entertainment, and a most
attractive program entitled White
Gifts for the King" was rendered, an
entertainment similar to the one Civ

school.
The program consisted of songs,
readings, recitations and responsive
recitations. and was really most en-
joyable program.
AT the foot of the pulpit was large
white cross, above which hung
white star, and each of the classes of
the school laid their gifts at the foot
of the cross. These gifts are for the
children's home in Jacksonville, and
for the Thornhill Orphanage at Gin

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LITTLE
THINGS

We love little things, and hate
little things, we fear little things; our
lives are knit up with little things
from the time we are born to the day
we die.
Big things draw us up to heaven or
crush us down to hell. Little things
live beside US on the earth. eat and
sleep, laugh and grumble with US,
catch the early train with us. or make
us miss it. irritate and appease us
never leave us alone for a minute.
That is why they are so much more
important than the big thingS-the
things that only come once in way
at long intervals and even then are
nearly always the result of hundred
and one little things combined.
To be crushed by large misadven-
ture is notural, but to fall a victim to
series OF petty misfortunes is hui
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once arr
for all by falling off a mountain. thai
to bruise their whole bodies and dislo-
cate their tempers by the daily stun
bling owe a molehill. It is the little
things that count-the satisfaction Of
climbing Mount Olympus is poor
sort of attainment if the scores and
scores of pleasant details which
wait upon success be absent.
