Christmas is the poor man's Nemesis. You are rolling along well, got most of the old bills paid, figure maybe you're going to have a little money in the bank next month, and then here comes Christmas, with its thousand and one demands, and knocks all your dreams of easy affluence into a cocked hat. You got to go out and buy a lot of presents for people that ain't goin' to like 'em when they get 'em. At the same time, a lot of folks are out busy buying you neckties mat yon wouldn't wear and cigars that you couldn't smoke and a lot of other trash, and yet you are supposed to be happy about it all. It wouldn't be me if I didn't get this wildeyed view of Christmas off my chest and tell fy to my friends. Now that's ot(bt ! c*n really talk seriously. Who is there, rick man, poor man, beggar man or thief who would want to do away with Christmas? The Christinas spirit, the real feeling of peace and goodwill toward all mankind which dominates the season makes it to me the most hallowed of aH the holidays. It is the one season when all men are equal, for Christmas cheer penetrates the very atmosphere. No matter now busy you are, no matter how large your affairs, or how small, the Christmas spirit gets us all. If there was nothing else to recommend it we could not forget the bright, happy faces of glad children at Christmastide; their joy and their happiness at this time is pure and unalloyed. It is a great day and no matter how many sacrifices it may cost us, it is worth it all, for alike in the lands where the sleigh bells ring out their message, or in the summer climes where roses twiife about the door at Christmas time, there is no difference in the Christmas spirit, for always and ever at this glad season it is Christmas, Christmas everywhere. Let us enter into the joyous spirit of this beautiful season and let all be gay and happy in its observance.

And to break the strain the relief workers had occasionally resorted to stories and laughter as they faced their hard tasks. One story was about a little boy who was being taken to a hospital following an accident. Like all boys, he was suspicious of the hospital. His mother had recently come home from one with a new-born baby. He was thinking of that when they lifted him out of the ambulance, and he turned to the interne and asked whether he had to go in there. "Yes, little man, but don't worry," assured the doctor, "the hospital is a fine place ,and we'll fix you right up." "All right, doctor " he answered resignedly, "but I don't" want a baby--I want a pup." Phone 126-3^ - Reasonable Rates A. H. SCHAEFEB Draying .
