EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What 1t Is Remains a
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt.
Something happens at Christmas that,
If only for a 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.

VALUE OF A CHILD'S GIFTS
Those Made With Their Own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

II we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that
gift means more to the giver than it
does to him who receives. II it Is
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," a fact that is lost sight of in
an age Of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great edu-
cative value In their present giving
If it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however.
simply prepares some little remem-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
of the young giver And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really gift.
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving Of that
present.
On the other hand If the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider its very own, or, better still, II
it is enabled to earn pocket money and
Is then encouraged to set aside a por-
ton of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving Is
acquired. The sacrifice, the FORE
thought, the love necessary to make a
gift real gift are there.
The homemade gifts Of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing, raffia, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of max
ing gift, In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts.
and really never learned to sew we'll
until she was eighteen years of age,
the younger sister, a 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 are learned,
while the child is inspired with the
idea that "Not what we give, but
what we share; the gift without the
giver is bare"

ENOUGH TO MAKE PURCHASE

Game Fund Of the State Ample to Purchase
Buffalo for Big Reserve Near Custer.
Pioneer. Times: Although there has
been no public statement issued lately
regarding the condition of the state
game fund, 1t Is stated on competent
FOCAL authority that there is close to
$4,000 In the fund. This matter is of
interest in view of the fact that an
effort is being made to induce the state
authorities to devote part Of 1t to the
purchase Of the whole or part of the
Scotty Phillips herd of buffalo, which
will soon be disposed of at Pierre by
the executor Of his estate.
It is stated that during his lifetime,
Phillips demanded not less than $3.50 @
head for his buffalo, and declared he
would take no less even II the entire
herd we're sold. It is thot, however,
that this price will not be insisted on
at the sale which is soon to take place,
but in any event, the state game fund
is large enough to permit Of Q consider.
able purchase. At the price Of $3.50 q
head, $4,000 would buy forty. which 10
enough to form the nucless of herd
at the state game preserve near Custer.
The federal government started its
herd at the Wind Cave reserve with
fourteen head and considered that
number sufficient.
