In .WthechiM as a plant, with in the soil of cireum- with peculiar tendencies of its own toward growth, naturally, gladly mantling outward and upward to what WM meant to be its blossoming. Then tell me which picture appeals to you as more nearly approaching truth. I have faith enough m human understanding lo believe that none will choose the first, but all the last, to hang in their gallery of ideals. How muoh simpler the beau­ tiful growing process than the harsh chiseling process! All that we who love the child nave to do, is carefully to keep in good codition its environment; to see that it gets its needed sunshine; to study most carefully its natural growth and nourish that, and perhaps gently and lovingly to prune it now and then. A Great Christina* Numbtti The Christmas number of The Satur­ day Evening Post marks a new depart­ ure in periodical literature-- the first successful attempt to give for five cents; stories, articles, and pictures by the same writers and artists who make the high-cost magazines. For example, the opening story in the Christmas Post is by Budyard Kipling, and. the tale that of Private Or theris and his dog, Garm; Joel Chandler Harris tells "Why the Confederacy Failed," a stirring story of the Secret Service; and Ian Maclaren, Justin McCarthy, M. P., John Luther Long, M. E. M. Davis and W S. Harwood contribute stories and ar­ ticle®. The verse in the number is by Edwin Markham. Frank L. Stanton, Mary E. WiUdns and Clinton Scollard. The half-tone page headings, illustrat­ ing Christmas in History, are by Charles Louis Hinton, Frank and Joe Leyen- deeker, W. S, Lukens, George Gibbs, F. L. Fithian, Emlen McConnell and Harrison Fisher. The handsome colored cover is by Henry Hutt. The Christ­ mas Post will be on all newa-gtaudfc December 21. y |fij| " , Advaneea Stop,. i,- • If you have been in the habit of taking pills for your constipation and with poor results, just try a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and you will be surprised at the results.

' / A Hifulne't Editorial An idea of the amount of editorial work involved in the publication of a magazine is gained by the knowledge that the regular staff of editors of The Ladies' Home Journal numbers twenty- six men and women.

Mrs. Kimball was known by all having spent the greater part of her life in this neighborhood, and will be greatly missed. The Masquerade ball held last Friday evening broke the record, over eight} dance numbers being sold and thirty- four dollars cleared by the Woodmen and sixteen by the R. N. otfthe sapper.
