ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS
Dolls That Delighted Children of Rome
and Greece in EARLY Days Re-
Gently Excavated.

Rag dolls are as old as the hills and
SO are dolls with movable arms and
legs, toy dogs, rocking horses and a
host. of other things that bring de
light to the children on Christmas
morning.
Recent excavations in the ruins of
ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt have
placed the British, museum in posses
sion of an interesting assortment of
these relies of early Christian days.
some of which may possibly have
been given to- the children of the fol-
lowers of Christ at a time when the
observation of Christmas day was an
innovation.
In the nursery of a newly excavated
house at Behnesa, Egypt, a fairly well
preserved rag doll was found with
arms andslegs still intact and painted
face. The doll is by no means a beau
ty and does not compare with the
Christmas dolls of today, but neverthe-
less 1t must have brought joy to a lit
tie girls heart nearly 2,098. years. ago.
The jointed dolls of long ago were
made to sit down, stand up and move
their arms. but they didn't close their
eyes or squeak mamma Among the
toy dogs, horses and donkeys are some
made of stone and baked clay and
others carved out Of wood.

CHRISTMAS BELLS

II ~
Hark! Harkl hear distant bell,
And now chime-they softly ring:
What joyful tidings do they tell
AS back and forth they swing
IT'S mid of night-who rings those bells?
Perhaps sorge doves there nesting.
And while each little bosom swells.
And warm. they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and it feels
So incubated it would swing
To life, and wake the world with peais
OF gladness as for new-crowned King
Those midnight bells. how sweet they
chime;
The welkin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime.
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lo! now l see, from East afar
light shines through the steepie's
IT'S brighter than the brightest star.
1t giids the bells with golden flame;
There too, | see some cherubs cling
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they bel
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
."This is the Christ's nativity" =
Wake every heart, join in their song
Of praise to Christ, our newborn King;
To i'm our sweetest strains belong,
And his, our richest offering.
When wakes the god of day. and shines
Atnwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as we'll? With box and pines
And flowers CAV, yon house willsbe
Adorned, and while the anthem swells
With organ's voice, all Christendorn
Will vibrant be as are those bells.
That Christ's nativity has come.

Example Of Christ Should Inspire I'm
selfishness and Make Us Try to
Remedy Faults.

Christmas should inspire a world of
unselfshness. The example before US
is almost too perfect, for it rather
frightens us to attempt such divine
heights of self-abnegation, but we can
try. It will at least take US from the
depths of selfshness, where mos. of Us
now.are. Each Christmas day should
teach US something of the lesson of
the Holy Child's life.
IL we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years The
serious lessons of. self betfernent and
ennobiement it has to offer, how in
fniteiy better~it would be than just
to look on it as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for e1trava ganee and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two off on
Christmas day and give it up to retro
spective and sself-inspection. You will
each. find faults, If you Judge yourself
inapartially, for 10 one is peffect. Then
make a serious determination to try
to overcome those faults, for only try
ing to improve is there any growth in
character If you Dire satisfied with
Yourself you stay just as you are with
all your faults and virtues. But if
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing broad
er. This is the lesson which Christ
mas day has for each Of YOU.

a Christmas suppose.

We would not change the .children's
Christmas. But suppose all the grown
up people were to say to one another:
sThis year. instead of my giving you
a present and your giving me pres
ent, let us club together and give our
present to some poor child who will
not have any Christmas. There are
hundreds Of them somewhere. Or, If
wesdo not know of such child, let us
give our present to hospital for chill
dren, a home for crippled children, for
incurables, for the aged, the blind, the
feeble-minded." This to be, Of course,
in addition to what we usually give
to charities at this season. Why could
we not try this as an experiment, and
see what the result would be u? Chris

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery softness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silenced bell;
The sacred calm of a peace divine
Like benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
glimmer OF amber gray,
I walked with Margery home from church
On an old, old Christmas Day.
A bland, mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen a kindly mood
Like wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn.s plenitude.
With scarcely tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
As Margery walked from church with me
On Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left shadow OF tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry. hoydenish maid I'd known
For twelvemonth's flying space,
Had taken on that old Christmas Day,
A new and womanly grace.
AS through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years,
Whatever their trend might be,
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk TO the end with me-
Absently watching the velvet flakes
By the white gale set awning,
l breathe the spirit of other Years
While the bells of Yuletide ring;
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's ronping play,
Is the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old sweet Christmas Day.

ton of corn planters, adjustment and
use of disks and spike-tooth har-
rows, the manipulation of haying
tools, plows, manure spreaders, seed
ing machines; grain cleaning ma
hines, etc. The mechanics of the
tractor, and the tractor as part of
the equipment on the farm, also cost
of operation, will receive special at
tention Wednesday and Thursday.
An exceptionally practical program
has been worked out for farm wo-
men who will be at the University
Farm, December 10th to January Ord
Farmers and Home Makers Week.
As a sequel of the times, emphasis
will be placed on thrift-thrift in pro-
viding for the table, for clothing and
for comfort and pleasing surround
ings. Lessons will be given in pres
ervation of food, how to combat con-
tagious diseases, and other problems
relating to health. There will be
practical demonstrations in the home
making of millinery and the buying
of fabrics for clothing and house
hold purposes.
With the recent organization Of the
Minnesota Federation of Farmers,
Clubs, the constructive work which Is
be accomplished through this organi-
cation is more noticeable than ever
before. The strength Of the FEEDER
alton naturally depends upon the CO.
operation which the Federation re-
ceives from the individual farmers
clubs throughout the state. Stearns
county has three of four active farm
ers' clubs but this number should be
more than doubled during the coming
year.
The farmers clubs and the organic
alton of people ia any community
work for the Improvement of their
homes. and community. A, few FAM
lies working together may constitute
a very successful farmers club but
where-ever possible the club should
include the people Of a given COM
munity. A rural school district is a
suitable territory to be coxered by q
farmers club. Meeting can be held in
the homes Of members, in town halls,
or in school houses.
A good active farmers club viii do
for rural community practically the
same work that an active commercial
club will do for village OK city.
The farmers club, has tendancy to
secure the united influence of a COM
rlunity, to bring about any desired
improvement, and further it will
unite the community to oppose any
thing not for the best interest. We
can conceive of no way in which a
farmers club could possibly be detri-
mental to q community and there is a
great opportunity for the club to be
beneficial to the community in which

Touched His Heart. Not Purse.

A very ragged individual invaded
the Office of millionaire one Christ
mas eve and started describing his
woes and sorrows in so graphic man
ner that the millionaire was more af-
fected than he had ever been before In
his life.
At last, with tears in his eyes, he
rang the bell for his servant, and when
the latter arrived, said to him in a
broken voice: .John, put this poor fell
