THINKING OF OTHERS

AS the Christmas season rolls around again
this year, we might exemplify it's spirit and
meaning is no better way than seeing that
those around us enjoy Merry Christmas who
would be unable to do so without our help.
Christmas has been made great day for
children but many are the children who have no
one to provide for them at that time. Perhaps
their parents are not able to help Santa Claus,
perhaps they don't want to, or perhaps they are
sick and it is impossible for them to. These chill
dren would appreciate such gifts as we, who are
in better circumstances, can give them and the
giving would repay us many times in the salts
faction of knowing that we had brought happi-
ness to an otherwise bleak home.
Nor should the children receive all the bene-
fit of our thoughts This is an excellent time OF
the year remember old people and invalids.
No matter how we'll they are taken care of, they
will appreciate knowing that others think of
them and wish them happiness. And how much
more they will appreciate the same attentions if
they are poor and needy!
If all of us who can would in some way help
all of those who deserve it this Christmas, what
a happy time we all would have!

troubles of King Edward of England and the
death of John Ringing, internationally known
circus man.
H. L. Menken says that King Edwards affair
with a twice-divorced American is the biggest
news story since the resurrection. The story of
the life of John Ringing is not so unusual but
contrast of the life and customs of these two
men bring out principle that has its founda-

English speaking nations.

Oh, lovely flowerette, star of day,
Is it with age your hair is gray
Remember you some tale, untold,
Of buccaneers and vikings bold.
Of fearless knights and ladies gay,
Or monarchs robed in grand array?
Was it where you so blithely stand
That Indian hunters roamed the
land.
Or is your bed on some chiefs grave,
Long hidden by woodland knave?
You are a stingy elfin king,
Not to tell me anything.

GOLD ON BLACK PLATES

North Carolina is to have gold on
black license plates for 1887.
A kaleidoscope of color on the ma
TONS highways is promised for 1887
by the exotic hues chosen by motor
vehicle administrators for next
years license plates, the American
Automobile association reported.
Including such tints as Navajo red,
ivory, old. gold and Turquoise blue,
license plates in 81 states will have
entirely new color motifs. Fifteen
states and the District of Columbia
are retaining the same combinations
but will reverse them as to numerals
and background, while two states,
Arizona and West Virginia, will
make no change.
