City's Big-Hearted People Trying to Make Christmas Happy Time flor All

The season is rapidly approaching when all Christendom will commem- crate the greatest event in human history.
 It is the time when ruddy-facad, sEarkling-eyed boys and girls cast longing, lingering looks upon tho fairy-like display in the shop win dows; the time when parents eX- change meaning expressions, when the children are present: the time when grandpa cuts up "high jinks' behind closed doors, as he winds up a new fangled toy which is dessinsf t. gladden. the heart Of some young hopeful on Christmas morning.
 1t is also the time when sorrow is the keenest; when one can hear the cry of<the agonized mothers hear; as the silver chimes of the Christmas bells are waited upon the frlgld winds of winter to the lowly dwell ing, made desolate this merry, joy" ous Christmas time, by the chill hand of death, which has laid low the bread winner; the time of bleedin& hearts, when mother and children gather around a fireless hearth while the husband and father, i'll some prison, pays the penalty TOT some crime he ccmmitted; the time l when the mother and children watt | in cheerless home as the father and husband, with uncertain steps trembling hands and hectic iinsA 1 comes with curses instead of shouts of joy. ..,,
 It is the time of 'fPe2ce on Earth, good will toward men.
 It is the time when <hrlsflane pause in their happy, joyous 5iao- some reyelry and consider the pr" lions and suffering cf tle Wreeche' noor whose unhappy condition ca be ameliorated in great degree py 'he exercise of the Christmas splrh'
