Back For Christmas CARRIE a a. DEXTER

'These things he said, pointing to
N heap, ARE for supper tonight and
these for your dinner ON Christmas
day.
How many kind people there are in
your church! But how could any con-
gregation help being kind with such a
pastor?'
"And, Arthur" the clergyman con
tinued, speaking to the little boy, I've
got a nice present for you and n for
mamma, too, which l shall bring in
this evening before dinner that you
may have it Christmas eve and enjoy
it all Christmas day."
Mrs. Austin took great pains In pre-
pairing the supper, brought out a set
of china she had received as a we'd
ding gift and set an extra place at the
table for the pastor. 1t was dark be-
fore 8 o'clock, and she lighted the
lamps, and Arthur was delighted at
the smell of the good things coming
from the kitchen. He had forgotten
that the minister was coming and,
seeing the extra place, asked:
"Is that for papa?"
The mother burst into tears. With
all the comfort on this evening, bless
ed to all Christian families, the hus-
| band and father was still away per-

Its all ready, Mr.. Rice." But instead
of Mr.. Rice there was another, who
picked the boy up and held him to his
breast. The mother came from the
kitchen to see her husband standing In
the doorway embracing his child. Then
in a moment she, too, was taken to
the mans arms, and kisses from moth
err and child were rained on the artists
face.
Wife, he said, my fortune is

KEEP UP THE CHRISTMAS
SPIRITUAL WILL PROFIT,
Assist the Local Merchant In Having .
Merry Yuletide by Buying
From Him.

Christmas is a good institution. be II
examined from any angle. The Christ
mas spirit is one to foster and encour-
age. II means unselfishness, charity,
PEACE, liberality. good cheer, all desir-
able traits in themselves and all tend
ing to make the world a better place.
While the Christmas holiday is q
Christian institution in name, no one
religion holds a monopoly of the Christ
mas spirit. 1t is common to all reli-
gions. 1t means a striving to make
others happier. an effort to better con-
ditions for mankind, helping along
others who are aiding you. Home
merchants are looking for your coop
Grafton at this time more than ever.
Buy from them and cheer them.
Christmas means sharing your good
fortune, no matter how small the por-
tions may be. 1t is the essence of the
Golden Rule.
While one can do much good to 9TH
ers by the radiation of the Christmas
spirit, the greatest good is done to one
self. No mar can bestow a gift, either
material or spiritual, on another with
out benefitting himself. He must ele-
vate himself by the exercise of the
emotions that Christmas calls forth,
and this elevation must be more or
less permanent. No man can be much
different one day in the year from
what he is the other 364 days, and the
local dealer is always there behind the
counter waiting to be cheerful to you,
to greet you personally and not by
mail a thousand miles away.
So blessed be the spirit of Christmas
Exercise it during the closing days of
December, and you can't help but be
the better for it. and you can't help
but continue its benevolent influences
during the months that follow, and our
community can't help but to profit by it

"AE RS. AUSTIN" said the cler-
gyman, ''you are on the
committee ON decoration for

Christmas this year.

Christmas this year.
Indeed, Mr.. Rice, the others must
get on without me. / have no heart for
the work"
The good man turned away without
trying to persuade her. He knew that
there was a sorrow always with her
and intensified ON this Christmas ami
versary. Her husband, Edgar, had gone
away from her six years before and
had never returned. Every year her
little boy had asked, Mamma, isn't
papa coming home for Christmas"
and every year she had been obliged
to put him off by saying: Not this
year, Arthur dear. Perhaps he may be
with us next year" But she only said
it to tighten the child's disappointment,
for she did not believe he would ever
come.
Edgar Austin was an artist and had
an artists temperament. He had mar
ried a woman with a very practical
disposition, and when hard times came
on and he was not able to sell his pic
lures she had lost her patience at the
bardships she was obliged to endure
and had told her husband that he had
better leave such idle work" as ''daub-
ing, and take up something that would
bring more steady and practical re-
suits.
While Edgar was painting he forgot
the troubles that were always present
with her. 1t was her part to see that
the rent was paid and the other neces-
saries of life were provided. Since she
had little money for them she at last
lost all patience and upbraided her
husband. There seemed but one thing
for him to do to save himself from
breaking down under the strain-to
go away from her. One day he took
his little boy, who was then four years
old, In his arms and after a long en-
brace went out of the house and did
not return.
At times Mrs. Austin received small
donations from the clergyman. which
she supposed came from his p%arishion-
ers. On this and what she was able to
earn she managed to get on. She
knew that it was her want of sympa-
thy for her husband in his profession
during a trying time that had driven
him from her, and bitterly she rued 1t.
She would have called him back, but
she did not know where to find him.
The child had been his constant COM
panion. often playing in the studio,
and the artist said that he could al
ways do better work with his boy near
him. For six years the easel had
stood with IN unfinished picture on it,
and the studio remained In every re-
spect as it was when Austin left it. )
The day before Christmas the clergy
man came to the house with a large
basket on his arm and emptied it Oh
the kitchen table.

increased 1851 from 1900 to 1910.
The total number Of Chinese in the

LouvAlN COLLEGE IN ENGLAND


Cardinal MERCER has appointed pro
fessors from the University of Louyain
to orange for full courses of the fac
ulties of theology, law, science and phi
losophy at Cambridge, England, and
the proposal that the destroyed univer-
sity shall transfer its work there for
the time being is taking practical
shape.
Students at Cambridge have started
a shilling fund for the assistance of
Belgian students, and weekly contribu-
lions will be made ON behalf Of the
Louvain students. several hundred of
whom have started their work at Cam
bridge.
Cambridge has much more the ap-
pearance Of a garrison town than an
educational center. Students have mil
itary drill instead of games for recrea-
ton instead of rowing and football
drillmasters Of the officers training
corps put the students through three
hours Of rigorous military training ev-

GOOD ROAD COMMANDMENT.

The first and last command
ment in earth road maintenance
is to keep the surface well drain
ed. To insure good drainage the
bitches should be kept open, all
distractions removed and a
smooth crown maintained. Ex-
cept for very stony soil the road
machine or scraper may be used
very effectively for this work.
The machine should be used once
or twice a year, and the work
should be Gone when the soil Is
, damp so that 1t will pack and
bake into a hard crust. Wide
and shallow side bitches should
be maintained with'sufficient fall
and capacity to dispose of sur
face water. These bitches can
in most places be constructed
, and repaired with a road ma

To Keep Silsge.

A good way to make the ensilage
keep at the top of a silo when 1t Is
filled Is TO put part Of a load Of straw
through the silo filler just before 1t is
through the job; then sow a pail or
two of oats on the straw covering and
dampen them. This covering does
away with about half Of the spoiled
ensilage.

MINES SCARE Loss-ERs

1t may be necessary in the near fu-

import Holsters from America, as the
presence of mines In the North sea had
greatly curtailed the supply, while the
frequent explosions Of mines has so

breeding places there. 1t was said
Holsters were susceptible to sudden
shocks.
Recently English fishermen have in
certain localities run across numerous

since then many have abandoned work,
while the government prohibits fishing
in other areas.

PLoW WHILE SHELLS FLY
In the war battered district of
France one of the curious sights is
men and ONE at work in the fields
with hot fighting going ON so near by
that the toilers are not out of the dan
ger zone.
The dividing space between peace
and war is ~curiously narrow. Up to
the last moments before fighting be-
gins men and women are working in
the fields, and children are playing In
the streets among the soldiers and the
horses and the guns. Almost before
the sounds of the last shots have died
away they are out again in the air and
sunlight, looking at their damaged
homes-if there is anything but smok-
ing ruins left to look at-and once
more gathering up the threads Of ordi-
nary peaceful life; or, rather, except
for the hours when actual lombard
ment or street fighting is going on it
is more true to say that they never
drop their peaceful occupations.
