Secretary Manser
Assumes New Role

Our popular and enterprlsing Cham.
Der of Commerce secretary, Mr.. J. 4
Manscr, showed a few evenings ago
that he is not only a good hand at
doing Chamber Of Commerce work,
organizing minstrel shows and drill
ling Dokcy teams, but also able 20
|preven, accidents.
In front Of the Builder jewelry store
a negro from the country drove up
with his wife and three little children
in a wagon and left his team of mries
standing unhitchcd while he went IN
side the store to get a pair Of spy,t-
acies that Mr. Budcr had repaired for
him. Just about that time "a small
boy came along and began making a
nuisance of himself by exploding fire
crackers. The noise frightened the
mules and they began TO pitch aud
muge, cudargering the lives Of tie
woman and her children in the wagon.
Mr. Manscr stepped from the walk
into the street, grasped the brides
of the mules firmly, commanded them
to be quit and prevented what might
have been a serious accident.
Two lessons were learned from the
incident. The first was that a man
Of quiet manner can be courageous in
time of danger. The second was that
it Is an infamous outrage for anybody
to be allowed to explode hrccrackeIs
where the noise is likely to cause
animals htchcd to vehicles to become
frightened and run away. Let tic

Europe. But there's fine place for

CHRISTMAS is primarily a
G~ time of giving,-in commences
H ration of the One who gave
Himself And that giving
which has in it no thought of
self and no hope or possibility OF
reciprocation,- is the giving
which most nearly approximates the
true Christ spirit. Our giving, there
fore, is not complete, nor is our par
ticipation in the true JOY of Christ
mas real, until we have given to those
whom we do not know and to whom
we are ourselves unknown. For if we
give only to our friends and loved
ones, what reward have we? DO
not even the publicans the same? y"
Moreover, Christmas is pre-emin-
emily the childrens time The thought
of the world centers about Babe
who was born in Bethlehem, and
about other babes and little ones who,
after Him, have brought sunshine and
happiness into the world, and who 'at
the Christ-time seem doubly dear to
us. And yet even as | write, and as
the children of our own homes eXult
in the Christmas spirit, countless
thousands of the little ones Of our
own and other lands are aliens to the
JOY of Christmas, and many are face
to face with the cruelest Of all deaths
starvation. 1t seems tragic enough
to US that any little child should
awaken on Christmas morning to find
no gifts left by the beneficent dis
penser Of gifts and JOY to children,
but how much more tragic to realize
that many thousands of children will
awaken on that morning to tor-
tulous existence with little or no
prospects Of relief from the gnawing
pain of a ceaseless hungerl
We cannot conceive of the tragedy
that engulfs a whole population in the
valley of the Nolga in Russia, nor
of the consequent destruction and
desolation of child life in that be-
nfghted region. In that famine swept
land for every child who is well fed
there are sixteen who face straya-
ton, and each day only serves to in
crease the staggering total of the
child victims. The few graphic para
graphs which follow. quoted from the
New Zealand nation, make it possible
to glimpse the horrors Of that striker
land.
