The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing. rama. bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise sf max
ing a gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts.
and really never learned to sew well
until she was eightesa yeers q age,
the younger sister. girl of ten, in
spired by the example OF a small
friend, wished to make birthday gifts
for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet:
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient little seamstress
as one would want TO see.
Thus practical lessons arc harned,
while the child is inspired with the
idea that Not what we give, but
what we share; the gift without the
giyer is bare"

EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DA>
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What II 10 Remains q
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt
Something happens at Christmas that,
If only for day or two. does the
whole world good. What that some
thing is remains for many mystery.
A number of persons who feel the
renewing impulse are like Faust when
the notes of the Easter song arrest
his suicidal intent; they take and en-
joy the moments deliverance and con-
tinue to regard the source of the boon
as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti-
tious fears: they approach the great
season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; Marley's
ghost is after them, but, unlike
Scrooge. their new heart is only for
Christmas week. Another group sim
ply fall In with an ancient custom
and are surprised, and indeed pleased,
when the dry bones of their unbeliev-
ing minds come together, take on
flesh. and begin to live. A vast null
titude meet the great day with buoy
ant expectation, take with thanks its
new happiness, return to their work
In this exalted mood. and ask no ques-
lions about cause and effect. A few
philosophize on the phenomenon. and
they are willing to stake their lives
on the substantial truth of their In
sight.-George A. Gordon, in Atlantic
Monthly.

branches friend and stranger, vassal

The religious aspect of the mistle-

social symbol, and the idea OF simple
Hospitality developed into one of mer-
rynaking and somewhat riotous en-
tsrtainment.
The kiss of the Scandinavian god
dsss expanded into the custom of a
kiss given for every berry that grew
on the Dough. Small wonder that, in

after the crime was committed.
Now, here is where it started
from, it was a prohibition fight.
On September 10th two Cazier
boys came to the Meadow Fair
and during the evening got
drunk, by picking up a bottle of
whiskey over at the livery stable
and then on their way home they
met a farmer friend who had a
pint and the two boys drank all
of it, then went home to Bill
Anderson's ranch. In the morn.
ing Bill, thinking the boys were
poisoned by what they told him,
ran his car over to Bison for DR..
Walker and the doctor told them,
after seeing the boys, that they
had too much whiskey and would
come out Of it all right.
Mr.. Cazier, a prohibitlonist,
then went to Bison to have an
investigation held at Meadow,
which was held September 2lst,
five days after the boys got
drunk.
1t looks like Mr.. Cazier could
not believe his own boys and
that he had to call an investiga-
ton to prove to him that they
couldn't be relied upon without
being put through a process OF
law.
The investigation wentthrough
and it was found as above stated.
The boys got drunk on the bottle
found in the livery stable and
the one from the farmer friend.
Then one of the boys, whom
their own father couldn't believe.
said they were in the saloons in
Meadow on June 18th, 1913, on
their way to Bison. They held
another investigation at Coal
Springs a week later and brought
the rest of their party, who
were in the rig. to substantiate
what one of these boys said
about being in these places on

June 18th, for it was town talk
about the Dwyer & Wilson saloon

June 18th, for it was town talk
about the Dwyer & Wilson saloon
on that date, as the BOYS were
there as they went to Bison. So
if these boys could get together
on a ten minute deal and be in
Cliff Larsh's saloon that night,
the saloons in Meadow would be
put out of business. Don't that
look plausible, as they tried very
hard to vote the saloons out Of
Meadow in March and there was
considerable bitter feeling on both
sides, principally by the losers
from out of town.
John Anderson served t h e
summons at both inquiries and
was not put on the stand, as the
court proceedings show. Stanley
tells you now that Anderson told
him? Why did they have to hold
an investigation if they knew
this for four months? Were not
all the witnesses in Perkins
county at the time?
l will tell you why. These
witnesses swore that John And
erson was in the saloon of Dwyer
& Wilson the morning of June
the 18th and he was trying to
save himself. That is the reason
there was nothing done until
December 9Th, 1918. when A. 0.
Stanley made out the warrant,
Noble Helvig serving the same
on me. John Dwyer. of the firm
Of Dwyer & Wilson. was arrest
ed, waived examination, plead
guilty and was fined $10O. co,
thus saving Anderson from a lot
of expos sure. The firm
name is Dwyer & Wilso n
and the saloon IS still doing busi-
ness. after pleading guilty five
months ago. The county board
has met three times since then
and Stanley has not said a word
t. stop the place.

A REPLY

To States Attorney Stanley's
excuses as to unavoidable cir.
cumstances in the Larsh case,
and to refute reports that this
was to hurt Mr.. Larsh's candid
acy for sheriff Of Perkins county.
I'll tell you some facts:
Stanley was in Hettinger on
June 18th. 1918. not disputed; !;
but | was in Bison on the night
of June 18th, 1918, also, until
$50 p. m., and so was John
Anderson, as he swore to that,
in December be fore Justice
Wohl.
Now, if John Anderson had
reported to Mr.. Stanley that l
had been open on the night of
June 18th, any time before the
End Of July. 1918. as Stanley
says he did; why did he let the
County Commissioners grant me
license for the ensuing year,
when he knew | had violated the
law and was selling to minors
and was open on Sunday?
Why didn't the States Attor-
ney of Perkins county say a few
words to tn e commissioners;
that he intended to prosecute
me on what John Anderson told
MIN! You know that just one
hlnt from Stanley or Anderson
at that time would have put me
out of business. l could have
oeen prosecuted any time within
hree years for the offense; and
with the county board in the
frame of mind they were in on
July End when they refused to
grant licenses to men in Lem
mon on account of their reputa-
aons, that is all that would have
oeen necessary. Some of these
same men from Lennon had
oeen granted licenses before.
Gentlemen, ! don't think John
anderson told Stanley any such
ening at that time. and if he did,
ne States Attorney failed to do
MS duty by the people who pay
ulm and whom he is supposed to
project. He was at the board
ueetlng and looked over every
mans bond and Cliff Larsh's
was the first one he o. KID
'0f the board, and Larsh was
.ae hrst man passed ON by the
county Board. l think. l can
~'l you why Stanley is making
,Asuses now. It is to protect
'0an Anderson for not reporting
