A dream had brought reality to me. No
more to sigh with the poet
"Oh, the little more, and how much it is!
And the little less. and what worlds away
The past is past. For as do my dole of
toll, it is no longer toll, remembering what
has been and is to be when the fair promise
of dream, fulfilled, shall clothe our lives
in radiancy of love. These bars of steel
that face my prison cell are but dry brittle
twigs, and not CRATE that shuts me in;
robbed of their temper by dream, mock
at them, and know that am free, for heard
not the song of perfect peace? O futile
bars, think to curb soul while God is
ranging over all the earth and herald angels
sing His Son! The years that dragged so
weary and so long have fled as did the night
before the day; the locks that grated as the
gnashing teeth of souls tormented, and so
tore my heart, are silenced in the chord on
muted strings plucked by the hand of
destiny; and all the little carking cares,
the bitterness, and the silent tears that
bathed the hours when sleep stood off aloof
and taunted me, are wiped away by vision
and by dream.
The past is past.-Beau Espasta.

progenitor of the deed and put forth an
effort to bring to gratifying fruition the
desire we have expressed.
The sad fact remains that the true
Christmas spirit is recognized more in the
breach than in the observance. A consist
ent adherence to the spirit of the day
would make of it not merely brief per-
iod of gladness after long intervals of
physical want, heart hunger, spiritual
need, but day whose sun would rise with
the dawn of the new year and go down
with the decline thereof.
Hoping that the future has in store for
us many Christmases when the. effulgent
glow of a lasting happiness will have cast
into dimly remembered shadows our pre-
sent misfortunes, we, in positive measure,
wish you each and all Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year.

with which Dame Nature decks this Joyous
Christ-tide spring buds OF hope; and the
fair fruit of promise beacons smiling to us
from each deeply bowling limb. There is
no fear within my soaring heart; the shroud
of doubt is slipped off my soul; and as l
thread the days, the little hours of labor and
of love sing merry mystic melodies, while
grim old care beats time with a grimace
that he must serve so sweet master.
Today heard the rattle cf the dawn be-
fole 1 woke, and in this field of dream it
came full charging from the distant east to
greet me. The darkness fled in terror at
the sight. leaving the new born day to reign
supreme. Pale stars hung trembling, like
a distant fringe upon the canopy of night;
streamed backward as she fled, and then
were gone. The sun, as regent cf the in
FAINT day, enthroned, arose above the misty
mountain tops, surveyed the world and
smiled, for what he saw was good,
l heard chord as of resurgent strings,
plucked by the hand of destiny, trembling
to muteness; and then, acrost the void of
silence slowly ran golden fame of sound
from one pure voice, soaring to scales no
mortal ear has ever heard, the limpid
melody of perfect peace. Higher it trilled
and higher till my soul was seized with fear
exquisite lest it reach tone too high for
me to hear; paused on the pinacles of
melody, and leaped downward in cas-
cade of sparkling tone until it filled heaven
and earth and all the vast between.

a child, and did not understand, sang in
my heart
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,

cumstances render every possible assist
ance to those in less favorable circum-
stances that they, if their positions were
reversed, would want rendered themselves.
This was the teaching of the great apostle
(PauD of Him in whose honor we observe
this day: ''They that are strong ought to
bear the inirmities of the weak
The spirit of Christmas is also consid-
crate spirit. eff thy fellowman be over
taken in fault, consider thyself also."
Consider your relative positions, what
would stir within you the latent forces for
good and direct your thought-stream into
cleaner, higher channels? Those are the
things you should do for the weak, the
erring, the unfortunate. What attidute of
your fellowman manifested toward you
would arouse within you the lowest animal
instincts and render less clear your per-
spective of right and wrong, lessen your
respect for those who hold superior posi-
tions, cause you to feel that Justice was
dethroned and that Injustice held high
revel? Those are the things which you
should refrain from doing in any manner
soever to your fellowman.
A due consideration of the other fellow,
his circumstances, his environment, his
individual peculiarities, his needs, and
then to place yourself in his position and
him in your place, outline in your mind
what, in those reversed circumstances, you
would expect of the better situated man,
and you will have gained clear perspec-
And if, then, you perform in his behalf
those acts of kindly consideration which
you feel would be his duty toward you
were your positions reversed, you will have
entered into the spirit of the occasion
which this one day in the year we observe.
This suggests this further thought
that the Christmas-Golden Rule spirit is
consistent spirit. In it's fullest office it is
not limited to the brief period of day,
nor does it recognize class or caste dis
tinctions.
Many organizations prepare at this sea-
son bountiful table where may gather
those who are an hungered and destitute
and enjoy the largess of the moment. But
there are 364 days during which our close
relationship to our fellows is in large
measure lost sight of, the light of brother
ly kindness grows dim, fickers and dies
out.

~ Thomas A. Edison s friends, who
Ia know how deaf the inventor really
- is, wondered at the success with
which he presided when the new naval
consulting board met at Washington last,
fall. AS matter of fact, says the New
York Sun, Mr.. Edison fooled every men,
Der of that distinguished body of men, in
cluding President Wilson and Secretary of
the Navy Daniels; he heard little that was
said, but he presided successfully because
his assistant Mr.. Miller R. Hutchinson,
kept him informed of everything by means
of a telegraphing finger tip that touched
Mr.. Edison knee under the table.
A few years ago Mr.. Hutchinson fell
victim to the whooping cough and lost his
voice temporarily. Mr.. Edison suggested
to Mr.. Hutchinson that he learn the Morse
code. He did so, and the two men COM
municated with each other by tapping the
dots and dashes with their fingers.
And SO when the inventor went to Wash
ingtou to preside over the destinies of the
new board, he took Mr.. Hutchinson with
him, and posted him at his right hand.
Mr.. Hutchinson tapped to Mr.. Edison ev-
erything that was said, sometimes verba-
tim and sometimes boiled down into few
er words. He was able to send Morse
message to Mr.. Edison at the rate of
thirty words minute, and, as the speech
es were delivered in more or less deliber-
ate fashion, he was able to keep up with
almost every sentence of every address.
Mr.. Edison and his assistant also work the
Morse code with their eyelids.-Ex.

URGE PARENTS TO
KEEP CHILDREN
OUT OF STREETS

Letters are being sent by the Com
missioners Of Public Safety to pas
tors OF the various churches in the
city, asking their aid In campaign
to stop children playing in the
street. The pastors are being asked
to point out to the parents from the
pulpit the grave danger OF accident
In the streets, and to warn mothers.
especially In the more coDgested dis
tricts, where children are numerous
and play space is scarce, to instill In
their children the need OF caution
when on the street.
Two children have been killed
and several injured on the streets
during the past two weeks. The
commissioners have investigated
and found that children from four
to seven years Of age apparently
have no sense Of direction, frequent
" darting right into the path of an
automobile. 1t is thought that an
effective warning to the parents will
result in an immediate decrease in
the number of street accidents.
