V Bardett on OhriitmM iteeerasto me--and it isn't my taolt that the sunset is fairer and lovlier than the snnrise--that there was something more Christmasy about Christmas when I was a boy, writes Robert J. Bnrdette in the Christmas number of The La lim' Borne Journal in an article on "Christ­ mas W hen 1 Was a Boy " Its pleasures were simpler, its gifts were heartier. At least, I cannot remember to have read, save in these latter years, articles in family journals and magazines bewailing the burden of toil and worry and expense in the planning and making, or purchas­ ing of Christmas presents. "Krismus gifts'*, we called them when I was a boy. It. didn't and doesn't have much refine­ ment of culture in the spelling and the sound thereof. But the people who made them didn't rush into the papers to tell how mnch It cost them, and how glad they were that it was all over for another year. But last, year and'the year before I read such articles In print. 8o did you. Wherefore it seems to me that we kill^-d Kri>* Kringle a fnll century too soon.

PROBABLY no civil case tried in our Circuit Court in the last two years, has attracted more attention than the abovt ea^ tried at the last January term, be­ fore Judge Kellum, and a jury. Mrs Murray rented Mrs. Cooney's farm in HarMand ior one year, and then brousrht suit because there was not a good snp- »iy of water on the farm, claiming Mrs. Oooney verbally agreed to furnish water. The trial in circuit court lasted three day s, and was stubbornly contested on both sides, C. H. Donnelly add V. 8 Luml»\ ppearing for Mrs Murray, and C. P. Barnes and Frank Spitz «r for Mrs. Coon- ey. Under the ruling of Judge Kellum the jiicy returned a verdict in favor of VIrs.' Murray, for $ 180 00 and costs. A new trial being refused Mrs. Cooney, her attorney's carried the case to the Ap­ pelate court, at Ottawa, III., which turt has gi ven her a new trial, holding that the rulings of Judge Kellum are lontrary to law. This is a great victory 'or Messrs. Barnes and Spitzer, and add*> >ne more case to the many won by Mr Barnesin the A ppellatecourt.--Deipocrat. * It la Hard to Believe. That a man loves God with all his heart who ta<k« like a saint on Sunday ind lives like a heathen on week days. That a woman is as near heaven as she >ught to be, who cries her eyee out with ••iivy every time she sees another woman < earing finer clothes than she can afford. That, a man who won't do right un- ler a!l circumstances is a safe man to put in charge of a Sunday school. That preachers who hardly ever have my thing to say about the gospel of Iesus Christ in their sermon know much about it by experience. That a chnrch whose leading members are stingy and fault finding whenever t he object of money is mentioned is do­ ing very mnch to help people on their •vay to heaven. That peop'e who are all the time look­ ing toward the devil, are not also walk­ ing tbe same direction. That any man loves his neighbor as himself who is always trying to get tbe best of him in business. That a mm loves God with all his st rength who never lifts an ounce toward participated.

IT is an easy matter for ns to lay ont lines of duty for another fellow to work upon, bnt. do we not often expect more from some one than we are willing to perform? Let ns bold a short self-ex amination, and we think many of us wil' be startled at our own shortcomings When we hear a point, made in a lecture we are too prone to say: "I wonder how Mr. A. or Mrs. B. liKed that.
