Tomorrow Saturday. will be
Christmas when countless thousands
will on Bonded knee pay homage ana
tribute to the Saviour Of mankind.
The day will be one Of gladness
and happiness, particularly to the
young who have been living in an
xious anticipation Of the occasion
As usual Christmas Day will bring
great Joy aad happiness. to the more
fortunate ii the worlds goods while
the poor will see it come and pass
with many h ,arta hes.
From a religious standpoint, how
ever, the rich and poor, the high and
lowly, will on ,mmon ground w,r-
ship as one at the shrine Of the Nest
High.
Those who are fighting in the
trenches and on the battletields IL
Europe will know no Christmas save
simple prayer 70 Heaven pleading
for an end to the bloody conflict
From a worldly standpoint their
Christmas will be the kindly remem-
berance OF those at home.
10 General in this country where
speacs and ssppiness prevails in the
homes fortunate enough to enjoy the
true spirit Of Christmss, there will be
first the attendance at Divine Ser
vice, afssrwhich the young will
reyel in innoce 1t joy and mirth, sing
ing the praises of good old St. Nick
and enjoying the day IN many and
various ways. The old folks will
gather around the hearthslone, watch
ing the spn king yule logs, will grow
young in rem niscences Of their owr
childhood.
In less fortunate homes, the IN
mates will be saddsned BY lack O
worldly goods, but will celebrate the
occasion by humble prayers to ths
Most High in thanks for health anc
fr the salvation Of their souls,
Ia all homes, there will rise pray
or of thanks that we are at peace
with the world and not part Of tbs
bloody conflict raging across th'
ocean. All will join in singing tha
joyful anthem sGlory be to God Of
High and Peace on Earth to Men 0
Good WILL" With the tolling o
bells and the ringing IT Christina
chimes a temporary change will
hover over the people, usually at thl
season OF the year all over the world
but this year at least lii our owr
country. For the time being thu
earth will assume a new form aLt
man will join the spirit OF the short
lived change. There will be true
sincerity in mems dealings with one
another. No shallow pretense will
be decernabl. in ones activities ana
feelings towards one another. Hatred
and jealousy will be wiped out and
kindness and happiness prevail
charity will replace greed and all
rivalries in the various activities Of
life v ill be subdued and buried IN
the background. In short all men
will join as one in peace, happiness
and brotherly love. There will be
n union Of hearts ard m nds where
strife and petty jsalously know no
place.
The Maryland Independent wishes
and extends to its patrols, friends
and in fact all the people Of the
county true and Merry Christmas

GETS 2-cENT MONEY ORDER
Two-Cent Balance Is Paid Through Es.
press Company by Kansas
Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express
company was given to a woman to pay
on an account owed to a mail-order
house. according to a Blackwell story
printed in the Ardmoreite. The wom
an had received letter from the mail
order house notifying her that she
owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail a bill
for two cents, the woman decided that
post office stamp would not suffice
and that only a money order would do.
The fee for the order was three cents
and the postage stamp necessary to
carry 1t cost two cents more. SO that
with the two-cent postage stamp that
carried the bill to the woman seven
cents was expended in collecting q
two-cent debt.-Kansas City Journal.

Compensation Law May Cut Down
School Revenues.
Denver. = The authorities of the
school districts of the state have
awakened to the fact that unless they
obtain permission to carry their own
risks / per cent of every dollar dis
bursed in school payrolls must be paid
into the state fund for compensation
insurance on teachers and other school
employees.
The Colorado workmen's compensa.
tion law went into effect Aug. l, and
protests against its operation with re
gard to schools began coming in to
the Industrial Commission from every
part of the state. 1t is contended by
the school authorities that in view of
the minimum risks attaching to occu,
patton in the schools, the rate of ]
per cent is excessive and will tend tc
compel the schools to help insure
more hazardous occupations.
The law, however. is specific in that
it fixes the rate to be paid by the
school district, the state itself, coun
ties, cities, towns and all other taxing
units, while the rate on other occupa
tions is determined by the risk ex
perience of those occupations. Thir
teen counties and towns have also
filed their protests. but the most Wig
orous comes from the schools.

.I had been troubled for some time
with my heart. which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse
steadily.
Sometimes 1t would beat fast. and
at other times very slowly. SO that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and IL
I walked up hill. 1t gave me severe
pain.
Il had no idea Of what the trouble
was until friend suggested that per
haps 1t might be coffee drinking. /
tried leaving of the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change came
quickly. I am glad to say that I am
now entirely free from heart trouble
and attribute the relief to leaving on
coffee and the use OF Postum.
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned coffee and have taken up Post.

Reference of Medical Bill Denied.

Denver.-Following formal hear
ing lasting several days, Secretary of
State John E. Ramer rejected the pc
tition to refer to the voters of the
state the medical bill passed at the
last session of the Legislature. The
referendum petition was backed by
osteopaths, chiropractors and other
practitioners. 1t purported to contain
upwards of 10000 signatures, although
but 1895 bona fide signatures were
required. The hearing developed the
fact that many nonresident signatures
were on the petition. Many testified
that they had not signed, but that
their signatures had been forged, and
various other Irregularities prompted
the action of Secretary Ramer.
