LITTLE MISS SURPRISED

Pirlie Glaspey was II years old
last Friday and from 200 until
400 in the afternoon the happy
event was fittingly celebrated with
II little friends as guests, one for
each year of her life. The affair
was a surprise for the little hostess,
who received many beautiful gifts
from her youthful admirers. Sew
eral novel stunts added to the enjoy
ment of the occasion, much merri-
ment resulting from the peanut
hunt" One hundred peanuts were
hidden around the Glaspey lawn,
and the child finding the greatest
number won the prize. The young
sters present were George, Roy and
Fay CARROTS, Lee and Harry Rob
bins, Edna and Richard Harton,
Robbie Cunningham, Nellie. DeLois
and Leta Glaspey.

PHOSPHORUS IGNITES-
FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT

The self-ignition of a can of phos-
phorus in the rear of Watts Phar-
macy Sunday night resulted in dam
age estimated at 5000, but caused
excitement that would have done
credit to a 100000 blaze Smoke
and fumes from the smouldering
chemical were first discovered by H..
D. MacVean, who was sitting in the
club rooms above the pharmacy. The
fire alarm was sounded and the re
fighters responded promptly, but con-
siderable difficulty was encountered
in locating the seat of the trouble
Every room in the block was filled
with the dense smoke and the fumes
made it almost impossible to enter
any of the rooms. The firemen and
a few citizens brayed the fun les, how
ever, and discovered the source of
the trouble, which was soon rem
edied. The greater part of the dam
age was occasioned by water, the
fire gaining but little headWay.
Hundreds of citizens were attracted
to the scene, and it was feared for a
time that serious consequences
might result if the fire reached ex-
plosive chemicals.

what any other nation ever gained in anything like the same length of time. We are not responsible for the role Fortune has assigned to us; but we are responsible for the spirit in which we play it.
 Christmas and New Years Day are always times for an open heart and for taking stock. Taking stock of ourselves this year, with an open heart, we should make the holidays of 1916 as unique as the situation in which they find us.
 We boast about benevolence far more than we practice it. We always give the poor more cheers than money, and usually indorse charity after some multimillionaire has signed the check.
 A good deal of our own prosperity has gone to those who were in a posi- tion to profit by it. To many Ameri- cans life this winter will be just the saem desperate struggle for food, fuel and clothing that it is every win ter. Look immediately round you at your own back door; across your own fence.
 No matter where you live in these prosperous United States, you will tind within reach of your hand, want and suffering that you can do much to relieve. The woman who comes in to do the washing can point it out. A post card or telephone call to or ganzed charity will disclose many cases.
 Give something. No one is so poor he cannot give something if he will The best, most helpful charity in the world is given by the poor to those who are still less fortunate Put gift for the nearby unfortunate at the top of your Christmas list.
 Do it now. As Carlyle said, the poor are your conscripts, drafted into the trenches of peace while you sit snug at home. Bebin today to give your debt to them a practical ac- Acknowledgement. Your Christmas Eve will be the happier for it.
 And then give largely to the vic tims of this war
