it Is amazing lhat 800 many people bolicvc the
chief end Of government is to lcgislnto and ao
few nccopi the view that It's chief end should
be to administer.
The Bryan brothers william j. and Charles

known, was scattered about over the andacapc
last autumn. 'Tlo undertaking Is a worthy one

Up to certain point a political catechism

j1he Call Of Christmas

4 INTO US a Child Is born;
~ In your hearts, while joys abound,
Christians on this blessed morn.
Let place for Him be found;
His dear Name Is in the greetings
. Friends with friends exchange today;
Let not gifts or festive meetings
Steal from Him your thoughts away.
Unto US Son is given,
Gods Eternal only Son;
Bonds of Sin by Him are riven;
Grace for man by Him is won.
He in love becomes our Brother,
Virgin-born Of Adams race; i
Truth and mercy meet each other;
Righteousness and peace embrace.
Unto us a Child is born;
Unto US a Son IS givens
Church and home with boushs adorn.
From our hearts all i'll be driven:
Go we forth with JOY to meet Him,
In His temples here below,
As the Shepherds went to greet Him,
Nigh two thousand years ago.

Distributing
the Gifts

A OING to the post-office Is a. jolly
VIZ method Of distribution. Paste
board and brown paper, aided
by judicious grouping of chairs and
tables, easily transform room into
post-ofice, and wisely selected
postmaster may make the collection
Of mail an occasion Of much merri-
ment. Have general delivery and lock
boxes, and at the general delivery
window see that each person is
properly identified.
: A Christmas hunt is always excit-
ing The clue, given at the breakfast
table, is written on slip Of paper
In some such words as these: Pass
che, parlor, shun the halb seek the
summer kitchen wall" In that
vicinity the gift will be found. wrapped
and addressed.f It adds to the fun if
the directions lead first to other
rhymes, three or four being followed
up before the hidden treasure is found.
Tie cobweb party is not new, but
is always good sport and is especially
adapted to Christmas festivities. The
tangled threads may lead to the laden
tree or to the bulging stocking hang
ing from the mantel-shelf.
Still another. hunt takes the form Of
a polar expedition and is great sport
in the country when there is snow
enough for 1t. Immediately after
breakfast the entire party sets out for
walk. When they turn toward home,
the host or someone selected as guide
informs them that supplies are hidden
along the way in various caches and
they will do well to look out for them.
Each cache is merely a mound Of snow
covering lightly a quantity Of gift
packages, securely wrapped. There
need be only three or four mounds
and the gifts should be divided
promiscuously among them. If the
walk has been long, the first cache to
be found-that Is, the one farthest
from home-may hide box of cook
les which will be, hailed Joyfully and
will make the gifts in the next cache
an even greater surprise.
The last cache to be reached may be
the centerpiece on the dining table.
Here it should be of cotton gllttering
with diamond dust, with the pole ris-
Ing from the middle of 1t, fat, squatty
