Their lives are weary and sad"
Then up the busy and frosty street
Came hungry and sad little one;
Her clothing was ragged. her shoes were

She could scarcely walk or run.
Tho radiant child paused and took from her

The coin-It was all Of her store
"oh, take 1t and buy some clothing or
food:
I wish 1t were twenty times more."
md into the face Of the poor little one
Came gladness, as II from afar.
And II was reflected. I am very sure.

ARTEMUS WARD
Is he gone to a land OF no laughter
This man that made mirth for US all?
Proves death but a silent hereafter
From the sounds that delight or appal?
Once closed have the lips no more duty.
No NOR" rlearIres the exquls!t" ears?
Has the heart done o'eraowinG with beauty
As the eyes have with tears?
Nay II aught be sure, what can he surer
Than oarth's good decays not with earth? q?
And Of all the hearts springs none are
purer
T'on the springs Of the fountain of
He that sounds them has pierced the heart 8

The places wher" tears are and sleep:
For the foam-fakes that dance In Iife' 5

Are wrunE from Mes deep.
He came with heart full OF eladness
From the Glld-hcarted world OF the West
Won our laughter, brt not with mere mad
ness:

For the man IN our heart fingered after.
When the merrimen~ died from our ears,
And those that were loudest In laughter
Are silent IN tears.

eTHE CHRISTMAS STAR
fair little maid, with curls Of gold.
Came mcrrily down the street
She held in her purse one shining coin.
To be spent as ehe thought meet.
For this was the Joyous Christmas time.
And she looked at dolls and toys.
At candy and games. at books and sleds;
EpCh ona OF them had its Joys,
Then silently, like gentle voice
From Bcthlchem's hills afar.
1r,o tho heart of the little child
Fell the light Of the Christmas star.
"You have food and gifts the whole year
through;
You are we'll and warmly clad;
But others, aiasl are hungry and cold;

FOUR WAYS TO GET MONEY

There are four ways to get money
earn it, steal it, inherit it, or beg
It. Begging and stealing have their
drawbacks. Inheritance is the luck
of few; hut earning is the one way
open to all.
But it. not primarily the earning
Bower of man that shows his char
acter-it is using what he earns most
wisely. Bread lines are recruited
from the ranks of men who could earn
money but couldn't save it. Anyone
who puts a few dollars away each
week is doing more than merely saw
ing money-he is accommodating char
acter-he is laying by peace OF mind
he is paying the smallest possible
price for independence that makes a
man his own boss, even though he
works for salary-he is buying a
front row seat for the worlds biggest
show-SUCCESS.
A mans reputation is the plaything
of the many-his character is the one
thing that he makes for himself
The relation of money to character
is close-as close as that Of parent and
child, but the full value of each is de-
veloped through moderation. There
is no room in our present life for the
spendthrift - he pauperizes himself
without benefiting the whole. Meth
err is there room for the miser, for he
sacrifices his character for money and
adds nothing to the good of the world
The real power in our present life is
the man who saves consistently, spends
wisely. and lives on the scale that his
earnings warrant.
Dollars saved are a better indication
of a mans worth than his wealth
There is bank near you. 1t will pay
you interest. Why not get your share
by starting an account next pay day
