TT MAKES ALL THINGS NEW

WHILE it seems impossible tc
W say anything new on the sub
ject of Christmas celebration, the
miracle of the season is that the
custom of nearly 1000 years makes
practically all times new. The ag-
ed become young again through
their rejoicing in the delights OF
the grandchildren with the things
that once made their own eyes
open wide in wonder-memories OF
their own childhood also come back
to them.
1t is not simply a jest that papa
also likes to play-even though he
may say it is just to test them
with the toys he buys for the
youngsters. Thus, while the holi-
day is particularly a festival for
the children, emphasizing the story
of the Babe in the Manger, it also
has for the elders its pleasures and
the wider significance of that world
inspiring event in Bethlehem.

My Dream of
Dreams
By D. MAITLAND BUSHBY
"The Desert Poet"
(Written for The MaiD

I see lane, twisting, curVing upon
itself,
Winding now out of sight in a syl-
van fastness
Of lordly pine, sturdy oak and my
raids of flowers.
Bright plumaged songsters fill my
heart with gladness.
A chattering squirrel scolds me
from nearby tree,
Startled rabbits run to one side and
stamp their feet
In mock anger, when I whistle to
them or laugh;
Then they forget me for a luscious
tempting sweet.
Here. a brooklet leaps playfully
beside the lane,
AS l watch, shining trout leap
at a foolish fly.
A snap of jaws and both sink in
the cool brook
Then are lost to sight in the twink
ling of an eye.
Now 1 take the last turn of that
wondrous lane,
At its end lies a little vine cover
ed cabin
Nesting there like a timid, trembl-
ing, baby bird,
Hoping to be unseen in this bright
hued welkin.
Hiding behind tree, I whistle
sharp and loud,
Silence, for a moment, then comes
two blasting barks
Followed instantly by two great
danes racing to me.
They pass me, but turn and tear
round me in mad Iarks.
Going on once more, 1 see a nina
ture corral,
My silver-gray charger, King,
prances impatiently,
And champs at an imaginary bit,
then nickers
To me and thrusts his head over
the bar, silently.
My wife and babe await me now on
the small porch.
The one stretches out tiny hands
to me with coo
The other, sweet and smiling, hap
PLY greets me;
And I thank God for things so
beautiful and true.

By c. B. HENDERSON
AN OBITUARY

Thomas Horton Moss was born
January 26. 1882, on farm near
Ranger, Texas. This was then the
frontier 1t was on these limitless
plains he grew to manhood, acquir-
ing all the virtues and few of the
vices of the old frontier.
In disposition he was cheerful
and optomistic, even looking on the
brighter side, and in his judgment
of others he was ever charitable.
Tom was a big man from every
angle, physically, mentally and
morally.
In the fourteen years it was my
pleasure to know him, l can recall
never having heard one person
speak i'll of him.
Early life he entered railroad ser
vice and was employed by various
railroads in the southwest, as fire
man, brakeman and conductor. He
had been a member of B. of L. F.
& E. since 1905, and of the o. r. C.
since 1916. Tom was liked by his
employers and fellow workmen.
Many an eye moistened when
they heard of his death.
Tom is dead, but the life he liv-
ed and the example he set others
will live through the ages. He had
hardly reached life's noon time
when he laid the burden down.
Dieing at Williams, Arizona. No
vember II, 1925, he is survived by
loving wife, one son, Henry, and
