the rich, and of the well-to-do, an, of the poor. It should be the birth. right of all children to be happy a. all times. Unfortunately this is none too generally the case. Well. then. since the world can't be made over in a minute, it should be the birth
 right of all children to be happy at Christmas. Presents, and Santa Claus, and surprises make the young happy for time at least. A poor child who
 is accustomed to few playthings
 might get more pleasure out of a lit- tie toy on Christmas than a rich child out of his score of gifts. The Loyal Order of Moose of this city thinks that all children should be remembered during the coming holiday season. They know that very nearly all lit- tie ones in this community have fath- CTS and mothers and friends who are able to lavish gifts on their own darl- ings and they gre glad that this is so. But they fear tha: there may be child ren not so fortunately situated, and so they are making an earnest appeal to all people who know of youngsters who are not sure of receiving Christ mas presents to give the names Of such children 10 the Moose commit tee. The Moose are not otficious in this matter, they are not advertising their benevolence. All they want is the names of little tots who ought to have a visit from Santa Claus and who seem likely to be overlooked. They ask the personal help of every man and women in Nome. All they ask of the public is the names of the children. They will do the rest. Ard no one, not even the little ones who are made happy by their kindly gen. erosity, will know anything else about it. TAere wont be any sort of show about the present giving. The little ones will get presents from Santa Claus and that will be all Any one giving in the name of a child, whose parents are in poor circumstances, need have no fear that anybody's feel ings are to be hurt. Nothing of that sort. Leave that to the tact of gen. tlemen of the committee. And what do the Moose get out of 1t, if they hide the light of their giving under a bushel? Nothing. Nothing what ever. except that joy which comes to those who unselfshly help the weak and needy.
