Tomorrow there will be few men, women or children in the Christian world who will not feel and to a more or less extent reflect the Christmas spirit.
 We will give to our loved ones tokens of respect and memory, and many or us will SO without our own family circle and spread peace and joy, comfort and good will. We vii look for the less fortunate in life than ourselves, and for this day try aud make their burdens lighter, either by extending the helping hand in some financial act, or by 8 cheerful look or word of encour- agCmeut.
 Bur how different is this spirit from that which He taught.
 He who came to demonstrate "ou earth peace, good will toward men, " made the manifestation of the Christian spirit, the spirit of loy- ing and giving, daily rather than yearly occasion. It is not ChrisJ.s Christianity that the Christmas fires Of joy and cheer should burn bright ly one day and the hearth lie cold and drear with it's burned out ashes until another year has rolled around Even as the Master set aside the ritualistic canons of his tine by healing the man with tho uitEe.ed hand on the Sabbath day, 50 We need to break away from age-I0ug customs and traditions and let the CErist-loye, which is tender and compassionate, which suffer eth Icug, and is kiud," rule our hearts and lives, so far as our feI- Iowmeu are concerned, the whole year tbrough-a perpetual christ mas.
 Many occasions will arise from time to time during the year which call for the same spirit of brother lr love as is so dominant at Christ mas, so let us all resolve that we shall extend the joyous season, and stretch it over the year so that when t5e cycle is completed We will have a greater feeling of real Christmas and know that We have lived the ccmmand, "On earth peace, good will toward men"

SAVE THE SHADE TREES.

We regret to discover a disposition
on the part of some of our people not
to appreciate the value of shade trees
and to readily consent to have them
chopped down and removed from their
premises.
We appreciate the fact that some
of the trees in Denison have grown to
considerable size and may be
thought to be menace to the build
ings near which they stand, but we
think that they could be trimmed and
the tops even taken off so that the
trees themselves would remain with
out any danger OF iniuring the prop
erty. Nothing so beauties q city as
shade trees and everything possible
should be done to spare them and save
them for the shade they afford and the
characterization of the homes and
streets in the city.
DenisOn has been fortunate in the
large number of shade trees which
are scattl'ed over the city and it ap-
pears like attacking an old friend to
witness the destruction of the trees
We hope that more consideration may
be given to the question of preserv-
ing shade trees and that no one will
consent to remove single tree unless
it is absolutely necessary to do so.
. We frequently hear the remark
made by strangers who have occasion
to pass through Denison on the rail
road that it must be a beautiful place
because OF the large number of shade
trees. We hope the time will never
come when we will have fewer trees
than we have now. In case where
tree has grown SO large that there is
danger OF it's injuring property by
falling and q reasonable excuse is
offered for removing it. other trees
should be planted in it's place and in
that way Denison will remain city
of fine trees as we'll as of fine lawns
and homes.

into homes of their own until all had
left her except Mrs. Peters, who upon
her marriage. insisted upon Mrs Reed
er making her home with her and her
husband, and every since their mar
rage Mrs. Reeder has been the most
revered member of the household.
Several weeks ago she suffered a
general breakdown and another daugll-

A short funeral service was held on
Friday, March 10Th, from the Peters
home and Mr.. Peters took the remains

dear helpful presence Of mother and
grandmother.
There will be only one Friday, the
18th this year, and that will come in
August. Superstitious persons will,
however, continue to keep their fingers
crossed on other Fridays.

F. verybody's Colum n
The Review Solicits Communicet tons that
May be Of interest to Readers of this Column.

I retard the growth Of the spirit Of or
ganization.
| 1t used to be a common expression
that the farmers could not hang to-
gether, but they found that John Ad
ans remark about the cOlonists
that if they did not hang together,
they would hang separately" applied
in their case, but recent experiences
have shown that they can hang to-
gether and ltang the other fellows
separately and collectively if they wish
to do SO. They are today conducting
many of the best managed organi-
cations both small and large in the
country, and doing it with the greatest
good to themselves and the least harm
and often even benefit to the opposite
interests. We have in our own coun-
try ample illustrations of well managed
farmers insurance companies and
mercantile establishments. 1t is often
said that the farmer is a poor business
man. We believe we speak advisedly
when we say he is the best business
man in the country. With By far the
greater proportion of conditions out
side their control they are conduct
ing a business the magnitude OF which
completely dwarfs everything else, so
skillfully that the percentage OF fail
ures is less than twenty-five as COM
pared with seventy or over in other
lines OF business. Itwould indeed be
anamalous to say that an element that
had sfot all ages been furnishing the
brains for the world, had none left.
1t would be comparable to the thought
of the old man who when the doctor
told him his wifes mind was gone,
said he was afraid of it as she had
morning for fifty years.
But why laud farming and the men
who ennoble eir.ocupaton? 1t is the
right and duty of every tiller of the
