A LINE O. CHEER
EACHDAY o. THE YEAR
By John Kendrick Bnngs.

THE STAR IN THE EAST.
The Eastern Star shines in the
Heavens bright
And sheds on us a wealth of golden
light,
And seems to beckon us from sordid
things,
And bid us soar to it on spirit wings.
What joy 'twould be IL through the
coming days
As on it moves through its appointed
ways
We too might tread the path DER
which 1t goes
Up from the vale of tears and pres
sing woes,
And holding close unto its hints of
cheer
Keep Christmas in our hearts through
all, the year,

At Sea, Nov. %, 1906.
Dear Kermit:
We had a most interesting two
days at Porto Rico. We landed on
the island and were received by
the governor and the rest of the
administration. including nice Mr..
Laurance Grahame; then were given
reception by the Alcalde and peop,a
OF Ponce: and then went straight
across the island in automobiles to
san Juan on the north shore. 1t was
an sO-mile trip and really delight
iui. The road wound up to the high
mountains of the middle island.
through them, and then down again
10 the fiat plain on the north shore.
rhe scenery was beautiful. 1t was
as thoroughly tropical as Panama,
but much more livable. There were
palms, tree-ferns. bananas, man.
goes. bamhoos and many other
trees and muititudes of brilliant
flowers. There was one vine called
the dream vine with flowers as big as
great white water lilies. which close
up tight In the day time and bloom
at night. There were vines. with mas
ses OF brilliant purple and pink
mowers, and others, with masses of
"h'tC iio"cIS, WHICH at nlSnt
time smell deliciously. There we're
trees studded over with huge white
flowers; and others, the flamboyants
such as L saw in the campaign at
santiago, are mass of large scarlet
blossoms in June. but which now had

especially beautiful. The towns were
Just such as you saw in Cuba, quaint
brilliantly colored. with the old church
or cathedral fronting the plaza, and
the plaza always full OF flowers. OF
course the towns are dirty, but they
are not nearly as dirty and offensive
as those of Italy; and there IL some
thing pathetic and childlike about the
people. We are giving them-.a good

Such Is Life
As 1t Is Seen
By o. B. JOYFUL

The first squirrel that ever gathered
nuts for the winter eating did it for
his own stomach's sake.
He gathered enough to last him I'M
til he could harvest some grain from
the fields next summer. and no more.
1t never occurred to him to put up
nuts to sell to less thrifty squirrels
during the winter.
But every fall he got his own supply
stored in the old hollow tree, and
spent the cold days in well-fed COM
fort.
That's what all his neighbor squir-
rels did.
But along came a smart squirrel.
smarter than the rest. one who had
adopted a bit of the foXiness of the
fox.
One summer and fall he worked
harder and longer than his brothers,
carrying grain and nuts to his store
room from sun to sun. Often while
other squirrels were having a good
time this squirrel toiled. BY winter
he had enough nuts and grain stored
up to feed several squirrels
He ate sparinSly, while the other
squirrels stuffed their tummies
Long before time for grain to ripen
his neighbor squirrels began COM
planning of the nut shortage. And
they were hungry.

Squirrel said. iii let you have some
