Sled Shortage May
Cause Panic Among
Many Fond Parents

There are liable to be several little
folks in Mayshalltown who had their
heart set on having sled disap-
pointed when Christmas morning
comes. IL the frantic time that several
fond parents have been having within
the last two days Is any sign.
The sled market OF Marshalltown Is
in about as depleted condition as It
and coasters of every kind and quality
have been purchased by citizens and
residents of the surrounding territory,
according to statistics from hardware
and toy stores Iof the city.
One man was rushing about from
store to store Thursday night, bound
and determined to have sled for his
little girl. He was unable to find a
suitable one. All the hardware stores
are cleaned up, with the exception OF
8 few OF unusually large size, which
are quite expensive. There are also a
few cheaper ones, but the real sled, the
kind the ordinary boy wants. so that
he can take long run and then slide
belly buster as he rather inelegant-
~ expresses 1t, are all gone. One hard
ware store has been getting in ship
ments daily. and selling them as fact
as possible. Others have sold all the
way from seventy-five to over 200. The
toy stores are in the same predicament.

Christmas and the Children.

Once year at least we are all chill
world from which childhood should be
absent. If in any star among those
sweeping planets over our heads there
is one wholly inhabited by grownup
folk that must be quiet and grave
place, a place to shun, a place of lone
some dignity, robbed Of motive and Of
charm.
Our homes exist for the children.
They afford us our best reason for the
incessant toll, which is less curse to
the race than a blessing Their in
sistent claims on our care cannot be
put aside. Their joyful responsibility
is in contrast to our continual sense of
obligation. Like the birds and the
flowers, they bring song and bloom into
our lives, and their dependence on us
is as simple, their faith as sincere, as
ours ought to be on the great All Fa-
Their.
When Christmas comes their little
cups are full to the brim. Such small
things please them, too-the doll, the
train of cars the toy elephant, the pic
ture book. When we do not spoil them
by defrauding them of their share in
the giving as well as in the receiving,
how much pleasure they take in choos-
ing their presents; what wonderful
ideas they have of the possibilities of
a dollar: how they select the biggest
and most beautiful things without a
thought of the cost! Money is nothing
to a child. He has not yet entered
upon that sordid phase Of being when
expense obtrudes itself like a genie of
evil in the garden of roses. A child's
heart is as large as heaven. A child's
love is as wide as a child's life. At
Christmas we all dwell for a little
while under the beautiful scepter of
the Child In the Midst.-Margaret E.
Sangster.

Oh, come, all we faithful,
Joyful and triumphant
To Bethlehem hasten now with one &C

Come and behold him
Born the King of angels
oh, come, let us adore him, Christ the

Sing, chorus of angels;
Sing in exultation!
Jesu, forever be thy name adored,
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing.
Oh, come, let us adore him, Christ the

Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is always connected
with the senses whatever be the OBJ.
feet that excites it. The true strength
of virtue is serenity of mind COM
bined with a deliberate and stead
fast determination to execute her
laws. That is the healthful con-
dition OF the moral life; on the other
hand, enthusiasm even when excited
to representations of goodness, is a
brilliant but feverish glow which
leaves only exhaustion and languor be-
nind.-Kant.
