The Lonely Old Ladys
Christmas Valentine

THE lonely old lady sat In the
i twilight as the evening star
looked through the window and
wondered why she seemed 30 sad.
The star was bright enough that
Christmas Eve to guide anyone to
gladness, but she who sat there
did not appear to know It. There
were yet q few sparks amid the
ashes Of the hearth fire. and
warmth had not wholly departed
from the room; there were points
of light In the maze Of memories
that kept the past alive, and at
heart the silent thinker was not
cold; but darkness was creeping
over solitude, and time was regis
tering age, and the old lady was
lonely.
There was a picture on the wall
of one who had been the strength
and Joy Of earlier days, but years
had passed over his grave In Q
distant land.
There were other pictures look
Ing down upon her with young and
happy faces, but they were pictures
Of children who had blessed other
homes. placed about to keep COM
pany with her dream children. and
reminding her now again that she
had none.
So the star might have known
that there was reason for pensive-
ness as 1t tried to penetrate the
gathering gloom and the mystery.
But whether 1t learned the secret
or not, 1t witnessed as 1t watched,
a light In the dim room. For she
had taken from portfolio her must
precious possession, and she was
smiling upon 1t. 1t was an old
valentine, the last that she had re-
ceived from him who had never re-
turned. It was inscribed ITO My
Valentine" Upon 1t sat Cupid. in
wreath Of forget-me-nots, holding
q high pyramid Of large roses over
large, circular spider web. with
two hearts entangled in It!
The star must have recognized
that 1t was shining upon the death
lessness Of love, and helping It to
share the Christmas fellowship and

TAXES GOOD INVESTMENT

Many people think of taxes as SO much money practically
thrown away. The fact is, in no other way does one get so
large a return for his money as by paying taxes. One pays
perhaps a ten dollar tax on a house and its furnishings, in
return, the strong arm of the law is thrown around it-protects
it even during the absence of the family. For another considera-
ton his lands are made inviolate from the usurper or the robber.
Some howl over the automobile tax, yet for eight or twelve dol
lars the permission is given to travel from coast to coast. A
few cents tax gives hard surfaced roads, saves time, saves ex-
pense on wear and tear of the car. 1t permits the family to
visit the beauty spots in places before unable to reach. The
paltry sum of a few pennies has opened a new world of glory
and vision. Add to these the benefits permitted by free public
schools, public libraries, and dozens of other institutions and
conditions enjoyed and the result is in favor of the taxpayer by
many thousands of dollars, because anyone of the above items
if purchased separately would cost many times more that the
average tax figures total for the entire year for any one indi
vidual. Are taxes high? No, taxes are low when the great
number of advantages are remembered. Who would trade them
for a paltry tax receipt?

HENS KNOW MORE

Certain students of divinity, raw material for future clergy
men-of the kind the Church gets for her sins-procaimed their
absolute determination not to defend their country, homes or
affairs under any circumstances. These most PROSTATE victims
of the alien policy of hamstringing the United States are to be
more pitied than censured, 1t is Quite probable that even
without their declaration they would have been just as useless
in national defense as they now wish to be. Men of their kind
usually are. We make exceptions, of course, for the red-blooded,
honestly born, American-hearted young fellow who has been
misled by a false idealsm; he will come out of it all the better
for the infection. But for the other kind, the natural coward
and selfish sulker who would screen his hide behind a readyto-
wear cloak prepared by the alien pacifists, we leave him to the
course of nature. If he succeeds in entering the Church it will
only be an indication of how rapidly the Church is disintegrat-
ing. And those whom he can harm will have left the Church
before he can go very far. Imagine in your pulpit a man sworn
never to defend his country, with it's liberties, its women and it's
children! Even a barnyard hen will defend it's young.
