train as far as passengers were con-
cerned, although we conldn't join in
their conversation However, we had
ssane amusement all or own watching
the various faces around US. There
was the usual collection Of human be-
ings found on q railway train. The
man whose trappings spelled drum
mer," and who apparently wasn't in
the best of humor at being obliged to
be on the road at Christmas time; the
woman with half . dozen youngsters,
each one evidently doing his best to
live up to the idea that you are never
young but once" One couldn't very
well scold on this evening of all time.
And. ,hen, there was the fat man who
filed and overffowed two seats-was
there ever a train full of people that
didn't include n fat man? This even
ing the person in question was being
entertained by small boy who ap-
peared TO be recounting n highly in
teresting tale. We, of course, couldn't
tell what he was saying, but when the
small boy measured off length with
outstretched arms, we confess that
our curiosity was aroused as TO wheth-
er he was describing TO the fat man the
length of the fish his father caught
last summer, or the stocking he was
going to hang up that night. Which
ever it was, the fat mzn looked polite
ny credulous.
When the train finally rolled into
Salida, We thought for moment that
the entire town was either going or
coming, such crowd was at the depot,
and such a happy, Laughing crowd, too.
We had very enjoyable visit of
two days and came home Monday
morning. And oh! hDw We hated to
come back to work But then, one
can't play all the time.

DO 1T NOw-NEGLECT OFTEN
CAUSES INCONVENIENCE

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
How many times, do we put off until
tomorrow some task which We could
do much better today?
Have you ever spent an hour hunt
ing for paper or magazine article
which you intend some day to read,
but you have forgotten in just what
magazine it was? That cake receipt
which some one gave you and which
you are now ready TO try, where did
you put it?
You always knew there was rough
place on the edge of that table and
it would only take q minute to fix it
and yet you did not attend to it until
after it had pulled the threads in your
best silk gown.
There was that storm door which
you intended to remove every day for
a week and which really only took
twenty minutes to do but you waited
until it had slammed and broken the
window in the door.
Every day that John was in the hos
pial you intended to run in and make
"a call but two weeks passed and he
was home again before you got started.
Every day we neglect little things
which we intend TO do sometime. The
neglect may cause serious inconvience
later or It may mean that the thing
is never done II It is worth doing and
should be done-do il now.-Mary

CHRISTMAS, 1929 A MEMORY

Once more the joyous Christmas
time has come and gone, and the
query, Have you got ysur Christmas
shopping done yet :" has been chang
ed to, What didJa get Christmas ~
The past few days since the 25th.
have been glorious outdoors and the
small boys and girls are having the
time of their lives with the shiny new
sleds and skates Santa left Christmas
morning.
Already we have started gathering
up the tree ornaments, and the holy
ribbons and wrappings. and the nut
shells and goodness knows what else,
that has been dropped over the floors.
Turkey doesn't seem to taste as good
as it did few days ago, and the
warlned-over plum pudding is getting
worked over time. But then, Christ
mas comes but once year, you know.
We spent our Christmas in Salida
with our sister. Went over on Friday
evening on 4 train that insisted on be-
ing late A binding snow storm was
in progress and continued until about
to Sargents, then quit Generally. we
don't fancy that long, cold ride over
Marshall Pass in the winter time, but
somehow everything seemed different
on Christmas Eve. When the moon
came out after the train was web up
on the pass. flooding the world with
soft, shimmering moonlight. one for
got all the discomforts of the journey
in the pretty scene fitting by the car
windows. Here and there along the
way the train passed stations and
ranch houses and from lighted win
dows, one caught n glimpse within Of
stage all set for Santa Claus.
We had plenty of company on the

Younger Set Pleasantly Entertained

Mrs. S. p. Spencer and Mrs. Mary
Lawrence entertained about 40 young
people at an enjoyable dancing party
Tuesday evening at the Lawrence
home. The party was in honor of
Miss Ruth Spencer, who is spending
the holidays with her parents. The
house was tastefully decorated in Xmas
greens and a handsomely decorated
Christmas tree, holding small gift
for each guest, was the feature of the
evening. Dancing was the order Of
the evening and about eleven o'clock
a delicious luncheon was served. The
young folks voted the party one of the
most enjoyable of the holiday season.

and henceforward they were the ~
cipients of the New Year kisses until
the ancient custom vanished alto-
Gether.
II II much to be feared that ths
abuse ef kissing customs has been
largely responsible for their falling
into disuse. though some Of them arc
certainly more honored In the breach
than In the observance.
One such. which used to obtain in
Oxfordshire, concerned the tenants Of
certain estates which they held on
condition that on New Years morning
they publicly kissed the parish pump
OF paid q drink fine to the assembled
populace.
As might be supposed. the tenants
almost invariably preferred to pay the
dne, but II Is on record that one mis-
guided. close listed individual actually
kissed the pump In order to keep the
0ne IN his pocket.
The populace were SO disguised at
his meanness and infuriated at the
loss Of the liquor that they held him
under the pump and pumped the wa
ter on him until he was almost washed
away.
The exchange of drink for kisses
was, In the bad old days. a not infre-
