HERolsM OF AFRICAN CAT
niaeienary Tells How Mother Feline
saves Her Kittens in Fierce
Hail Storm.

4 missionary to Africa tells this IN
,.restlne story Of the unusual heroism
- ! cat he once owned. One day q
terrific hail storm came, the sort con-
eerning which English and American
people know nothing. In quarter Of
81 hour hail covered the ground to q
depth OF two feet. Before the storm
becan the missionary's three cats
were outside playing; they were all
mother cats and had their kittens
with them.
Immediately two Of the mother cats
ran to shelter, never troubling about
the little ones, but the heroine Of the
etory stood her ground. As soon an
her master managed to go to her he
found that she had gathered not. only
her own four babies, but all the Others
q well, nine in all, and had stood
over them, keeping them warm and
safe, while she was nearly frozen.
She had nearly died In saving them,
for her poor sides were terribly
bruised by the heavy hailstones. Care
fully did the missionary wrap her In
blankets and then he nursed her till
he had recovered.

The origin Of the stock exchange
terms, bulls" and bears" has never
been satisfactorily explained. The
phrase is Of great antiquity and can
be traced to one Of Cibber's plays pro-
duced in 1720. It has been suggested
that "bear" Is reference to the sell
ing Of the bears skin before killing
the bear, while bull" is supposed
to be q Spectator who buys stock for
future delivery in the hope that the
price will rise so that he can sell ont

Dear Santa; Bring Us

We see once more the vision of Bethlehem-that
homely manger in which there came to us the
baby Jesus with wOnderOus eyes ilumined by the
soul of God. IT'S Christmas time-anOtherC Christ
mas, with others yet to come and pass into etern-
ity-and still with all the years there thunders
down the ages the message of the Saviour, peace
on Earth, Goodwill to Man. The message: now
remembered, now forgotten for the moment, but
growing in power and strength with each succeed
ing generation. 1t is the inevitable, it is THE
WORD, the avalanche of truth before which all
obstacles must resolve themselves into their
original elements to be merged into the current
of divinity that sweeps ever onward for the sal
walton of mankind.
How better would be our weak humanity were
we able to read Alright that word which came to
us in all its fullness. We ponder on that infant
child, we see the growth to manhood, we try to
sense the underlying and determined standards
into whose image we are destined to shape our
selves.
We resolve again and then again more properly
to reflect His great simplicity, His unconquerable
courage and force. Here was determination IN &C
ton, here was kindly sympathy in full expression
DuC mere 700 was OIdNSAJ ohO Oil NhNONPNOS
warfare on all that was hollow and a mOckery. We
fain would sense it, but we weakly fail.
Have we today one who lashes the money chang
ers from the temple, or do we rather compromise
with conscience for the cash? Do we lay up our
treasures immortal or seek to hide them IN the
safe deposit vault? Do we act in superficials and
only think in fundamentals?
What is this Charity that is left to us a heritage
surely but a guide post pointing down the lane
Of Justice which once Travelled leaves the signpost
far behind unneeded in the further march? Ah,
Christmas time has little meaning If we cannot
garner from it more than sentimental yearning OF
the hour.
II is the season of the child of cOurse-the time
for happv hearts-the strange enchanting mo-
ment that thrilled us in the years gone by IN the
land of toys and the mystery OF our Santa Claus.
Rut it is our season, too, even today. Aye, thlnk
in the scar and yellow leaf we are not too cold TO
write another letter, to watch with %slippered feet
bv the burning embers for the gift we would prize
so much. Then let us write:
Dear Santa: Bring to us bravery and give us
understanding of our great complexities. Wna'
We want most is strength to do, Courage to carry
ON. and Love for humanity, based on understand
ING. Bring us this holy gift, for this is Christina
time.

Christmas Is Coming

Yes, Christmas is coming, sometime. 1t is COM
ing when Christmas is a life and not a day; when
it is an abiding spirit and not a one day in the year
manifestation when it is conduct and not a SEEM
ing; when it is a habit and not an ~exertion when
it is something within us and not without.
Christmas is coming when at all times we love
to give more than we love to get; when we love to
serve at least as much as we love to be served.
Christmas is coming when not only some homes
but all homes are happy when the spirit of good
cheer girds all homes in its wonderful, warm and
inclusive radiance and good homes are no longer
bound within themselves.
Christmas is coming when all children can play;
when all homes are sunny and warm; when all
tables are spread with bounty; when all stockings
are full.
Christmas is coming when our associated char
tiles will no longer have to dispense dolls to the
little daughters of drunken fathers; when men are
not allowed to grow rich by robbing children and
mothers; by demoralizing weak fathers and hus-
bands.
Christmas is coming when men are brave enough
and true enough to help their brothers stand up
soldier-like and fight and sordid pawers that seek
their selfish pots of gold by bringing men to shame
and women and children to suffering and want.
Christmas is coming when we allow no one 10
c~aDitalize human weaknesses to beggar the lnol-
vidual and debauch public morals.
Christmas is coming when every laboror can
look forward to an old age without fear; wheI
widowed mothers do not have to live in dread les
some benevolent" asylum will rob her OF her chill
dren.
Christmas is coming when judges look for JUS
tico and not for loopholes and petty technical er
rOrs in the law.
Christmas is coming when men seek not TO Tax
unfair advantage one of another but dwell 1
harmony. learning to love one another as he urge
nc +o do. when men no longer suffer commercial
lied gambling places; when men no longer, VIII
s,nken ewes and fevered brain, clutch at eacn OH
er,s throats for gold; when stony faces no long'
sheer at breaking hearts; when men are no long
set adrift on the waters of misery by 1lcKle 10
tune; when their wailing voices are no longer ~
in the rumbling roar of greed.
Christmas is coming when trail human mo"

Christmas is coming when frail human
moths are no longer lured to flutter about
false lights and drop at last, burned and

DON'T WAIT UNTIL
EVERYBODY WANTS
A CAR.

. There have been many times
in automobile history when cars
were hard to get. We can re-
member seasons when used cars
were worth almost as much as
new ones. In such times the
real worth in a good used car
is recognized, admitted and paid
for.
Folks are buying more auto
mobiles than ever before. The
market is firm, to say the least.
These good used cars are just as
good as that much gold in the
mint. They may be worth more.
Anyway, you had better look
them over at an early date.
