ana the things of-~t}1e spirit-but,
above all. of affection. And when
Christmas came along it was, for
us children, the big thrill of the
year. a time of surprises. of un-
expected little gifts, and we hadn't
had so many surprises and gifts
through the year that we were
fed up. We experienced an emo
tion which ! believe is now more
or less obsolete. | mean gratitude.
However, we didn't regard
Christmas simply as a time when
we received presents. 1t was the
birthday of One we had been
taught to love.
Il remember the exciting weeks
that led up to- it. The Whisper
1ngs. the countless little sacrifices
the delightful odors in the kitchen.
The~hours we spent hesping with
the decorations in the church.
But the real excitement always
started at dusk on Christmas Eve
The Clarks were the rich people of
our paFish-the only family with a
coachman, an old colored man
named Thomas. Mrs. Clark new
er- forgot US children. Each Christ
mas Eve at about the same time
Thomas would drive up before our
house. Then-his knock on the
door, his broad grin, his shout of
Merry Christmas" s!"-and the mar
Velous basket he left behind! Long
before dusk we would haunt the
windows, watching for Thomas.
And when at last the carriage
turned our corner-that, tell you
was d big moment.
"Oh, of course, it was all wrong.
They should have paid my father
more money. But we never thought
OF that at the time. s.. We never
even hated the Clarks for their
prosperity. But then-there was
so little hatred abroad in the
world-in those days.
after supper on Christmas Eve
we trudged about town through
the snow. There were candles in
the windows of the houses, and
happy greetings, and the lighted
church on High Street was like
glazed post card. We sang carols
out of the past-our breath float
ing visibly before us in the calm
night.
And in the morning we rose to
find what gifts there were. 1t
took so little to please us--so pa
thetically little. recall one
Christmas when I had an orange
all my own, a one-fifth interest in
a box of candy, and a sled. All
through the morning l scarcely
dared leave the room where the
sled stood. 1 would run to the
kitchen and then creep back-to
come on it suddenly-for the thrill.
I'd give a hundred thousand dol
lars if ! 'puld get thrill out of so
little :. Id give even more
for a S.1ndchild who could thrill
so easily"
Ny host paused, for his wife
had appeared suddenly at the door.
"Oh, here you are" she said.

Will be Handled.

The meeting of the Young Mems

day as the state terminal matter will
be brought up and it may be that some
action will be taken right at this par
ticular time tending to offset Savan

morrow. 1T will be remembered that
the Chatham capital has invited both
branches of the legislature to visit that
city and the invitation has been ac-
cepted.
Just what will follow todays meet

thing out of the usual is expected. 1t
will be remembered that the move
ment lookin gto the sending of repre-
sentatives to Atlanta some time ago
on the terminal project eminated in
the rooms~of the club and if quick ac-

will prove equal to the occasion. At

followed brief speech by Senator
Clay, in which he declared that the

men who drew fat salaries for doing
nothing, and that the law was a joke
as well as a disgrace to the State of
Georgia. He charged that anybody
with a ffve-dollar bill could get a Ii

Car in Which Her Husband
Had Used and for Which She
Swore Out Warrant for Theft

While Mrs. Nora B. Lundberg did
not succeed in obtaining possession of
her four year old daughter, Marie,
on her trip in search of the little one,
she did get the car and returned to
the city yesterday afternoon in tow of
a Buick, evidently having engine trou-
BILE when near Brunswick.
It is stated that DR.. Lundberg aban-
doned the machine when only short
distance from this city and evidently
boarded train and left for a place
known only to himself. Information
received by Chief Register Thursday
was to the effect that the former
Brunswick druggist was then intWay-
cross, but where he and the little one
are at present does not seem to be
known.
1t is the general opinion that DR..
Lundberg, if there is any way possible,
will return to his old home, London,
England, where it is stated that he IS
highly connected. The divorce suit
filed by Mrs. Lundberg and the rapid
and sensational developments that fol-
lowed this action, has caused much
comment about the city and especially
anon gthose with whom Mr.. and Mrs.
Lundberg were acquainted.
