ALL RIGHT, I'M YOUR BUDDY

Experience is a mighty good
teacher. It has taught me some
thing this past winter. AS you
know, I have been making some
experiments by getting somebody
else to write part OF the not
stuff for The Fool-Killer. The
reason l did it, in the first place,
was because sickness in my fam
ilv made it hard for me to do the
writing myself.
So [ secured the services OF
Comrade W. S. Morgan, one OF
the ablest editorial writer's Id the
country, and a man who is widely
known. And there is no denying
the fact that Comrade Morgan
gave us some Of the best dope
that has ever appeared in The
Fool-Killer. He went after the
enemy with gloves off, and every
thing he said was III perfect har-
mony with my own views. The
readers and club-raisers respond
ed to it pretty we'll, but still there
seemed to be something lacking.
The general tone Of the letters L
got revealed thefact that the peo-
pie wanted my own writing and
were not going to be satisfied with
anything else.
Ofcourse lam glad, my friends,
that you feel that way about it.
[ like to talk to you through The
Fool-Killer, and from now on [
am going to fill it chuck full Of
my own Individual chat. With
the exception Of column or so
of short, breezy letters taken from
my regular correspondence, the
paper will be filled entirely with
my own sassy talk Most Of
you know what I can do when [
get my gab-mill going just right,
and / want you to introduce me
to all ofyour friends and acquain-
tances. If I don't give them
their moneys worth Of entertain
ment during the year, it will be
because they amt got no place
to put it, as Sam Jones used to
say.
Now, Comrades, you are my
only dependence. Without your
help | couldn't run The Fool
Killer another month. You have
never failed me yet, and [ am still
going to bank on you. Through
the winter months the subscrip-
tion business is always on boom,
but we are just now entering the
season that atisusually yvery dull. Let
us all resolve vetogether that it shall
not be dull for The Fool-Killer
this time. [ know times are hard
and money scarce, but that is all
the more reason whypeople should
J spend their money wisely. Tell
your friends to cut out their
costly papers and subscribe for
The Fool-Killer. Instead Of Civ
ing a dollar a year for ten cent
paper, here is a chance to get a
dollar paper FOR ten cents. Spread
the news and roll in the clubs,
Still going at ten cents a wear in
t clubs Of five or more.

The 7 en- Commandments
for Christmas Giving
By HARVEY PEAKE

THOU shalt love the giver Of the gift. because
he has sent the gift.
2. Thou shalt remember first the very young and
the very old
3. Thou shalt buy within thy mesns. remember
ing the spirit Of the gift and not the value.
4. Thou shalt not become party to the mere
exchange Of gifts. Let thy heart 60 with each
and every greeting or present thou sende't out
5. Thou shalt make such gifts as thy skill may
warrant. inasmuch as the work Of thy hands
gives added value to the offering.
E. Thou shalt he up no bitter remembrsnces with
gift. but only peace and good will.
7. Thou shalt have thy gifts ready several days
before the time Of delivery. that the immediate
days before Christmas may be filled with peace
and happiness. and not with turmoil and frenzy
8. Thou shalt seek the abodes Of the poor and
I friendles, with such wholesome gift, ma,
cheer and noursh their hungry bodies snc
hearts.

show thy gratitude in more sincere ways.
10. Thou shalt. at earliest opportunity. give writer
or verbal thanks for such kndnesses as th
friends may have bestowed upon thee a
Chnstmas.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp OF marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought.
Their Gloria In Excelsis
To earth the angels taught:
When in the lowly manger
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe OF heaven laid.
Born lowly In the darkness.
And none as poor as he.
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush OF hostile armies then.
But Just the budding sheep.
The angels singing OF the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame of conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star!

Weekly.
