Christmas morning most of US went
into the town of M, on pleasure

my chum, a neighbor boy from
New York state, was in about the
same state of homesickness that |
was. We didn't say much, but l knew
family back at home, and the warm
little farmhouse folded in among the
snowy hills.
What's the use of Christmas with
out snow?' he asked me, glumly, as
we strobe along.
Mothers can make Christmas out

street, with its rooted sidewalks. 1t
was unusually wide, and as we came
out into the residence section there
were double rows of live oaks, their
gray moss draping the red clay drive
way.
THE houses were set far back from
the sidewalk, within tall iron fences
or brick walls, and guarded by heavy
gateways. Box hedges fanked the
walks to the portico. Roses vined
and b1oomed about the doorways,
orange trees gave forth their fragrance
and mocking birds sang in the satin
leaved japonicas.

I'D have drunk blue vitriol if she
had offered it, but the eggnog was as
velvety as her sweet voice, and we

caps and feeling too shy for many
words of thanks.

Kindly Acts That Live.

The workman, while engaged in his
labor, sees but a small part of the pal
ace he is building. Its walls may shut
him in, but as he bends over his task
he sees them not. Its Workmanship
may be the admiration of other eyes,
but his hand is toiling elsewhere, may
be in some dark chamber, and in the
concentration of his hand upon his
work the beauty of yesterdays labor
is forgotten. 1t is but little of what
we build that we see. We behold only
that which Is Immediately before US.

Hall sYsTEM is plFFERENr.


The administration of the State
Banking Department under Harry T.
Hall is in striking contrast to that of
his predecessor, one Lattanner. There
is now no wrecking of solvent banks
in order to give jobs to broken-down
politicians in clearing away the wreck.
There are no junketing trips to Florida
or oregon by state officials on the thin
disguise that they are inspectors for
the Blue Sky Department, bent on
casting their eagle eyes over some
tract of land or other device of the
Evil One who is about to prey upon
some unsuspecting public No, there
is none of this. Things are quiet and
methodica1 at the Banking Depart.
ment, and the peoples interests are
being looked after without any buster,
graft or chieanery.
James B. Ruhl, prominent Cleveland
attorney and member of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee, in Colum-
bus, this week, said: There is no
doubt of the popularity of Governor
Willis in Ohio. His vote shows the
fact. His name was hard to find. but
the voters hunted for it to show their
approval of his efforts IN the in
terest of efficiency and economy. In
Cleveland he is stronger by far than
he was two years ago and will get a
much larger vote"
Referring to this adminisfration's al
titude toward workmen's compensa-
ton, Industrial Commissioner Elliott
said: "No blare of trumpets is need
ed from this department to show what
is being done and the workingman
knows it. The compensation depart
ment is receiving much money and the
work is being carried on to the salts
faction of every man interested in it.
