THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
BY PEARL c. MILLER.


The whole world is a Christmas tree.
And stars its many candles be-
The spirit of Christmas should be
one of love, charity. sympathy and
hospitality. Christmas means the an
niversary of the birth of Christ. and
only the best impulses of the human
heart should characterize the season
of rejoicing and giving.
Perhaps, when we are puzzled and
worried about our Christmas gifts, we
may not be wholly unselfish our
selves, or we may be striving to give
TO him that hath. II you are doubtful
about the appreciation your little gift
may receive try giving IL to someone
more needy. and the doubt will quick
ly vanish. Oftentimes the gifts most
easily selected and bestowed express
the truest spirit of giving. Cease to
give when IL becomes a task, for II Is
Not what we give. but what we share.
For the Gift without the giver Is bare.
Is there a Santa Claus? The Ger
man named Krist Kindlein. Christ
child. finally became corrupted into
Kriss KringIe. a being now Identified
with Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas. a
synonymous term, was Greek, who
died about 343 A ID. He was con
sidered a patron of the children and q
good genius of the gift season. Santa
Claus means the spirit of Christmas.
The custom of hanging up stock
ings on Christmas eve originated In
England and was brought to this
country by the Pilgrim Fathers
Decorations and music are indispen
sable for the Christmas season. an6
these are within the reach of all. II
is an ancient belief that the mistletot
contains medicinal properties. and Il
was supposed TO have the power Il
dispel any evil spirits.
Since Christmas symbolizes tn
birth OF the Christ child what n griev
Gus custom IL Is to make the contrac
ton Xmas stand for all that Il %
good and beautiful. Surely we car

Never was as closely a matched and
phenomcnally fast a field OF low fence

Simpson and Jack Eller appear to have
an outside chance In the low hurdles, 1t
would not be at all surprising to see
Simpson rise TO the occasion and show as
grand form over the low sticks as he
does over the tall timbers. Jack Eller,
one Of the greatest low hurdlers that

y%oungster never had shown form that
warranted his being classed AS a crack
sprinter. The week before the Western
tryouts Williams was clicked In better
than 9t-5 seconds for the 100 in q
practice burst, but something was
thought to be the matter with the
watches. But williams conclusively
proved his class by his clean cut vic
tory over Drew In the 100 at the West
ern tryouts. Experienced watch hold
ers clicked him in 94-5 seconds and
that shows his victory over Drew was
no fiuke.
Drew was so ~disheartened over mis-
defeat by the Spokane youngster that he
failed to answer h call to post In the
eco yard championship. Williams hal
little or no competition In that event.

Mexico on the south is the trouble

north the agreeable one. Blood will
