CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART
It is Christmas in the mansion,
Yule-log fires and silken frocks;
It is Christmas in the cottage,
Mother’s filling little socks.
It is Christmas on the highway,
In the thronging, busy mart;
But the dearest, truest Christmas
la the Christmas in the heart.
—La Grange Graphic.
Merry Christmas!
Stay sober.

CONCERNING GROUCHES

Mike! let other folks alone.
If you have a grouch challenge
some big man for a fist fight.
Perhaps a good beating is what
you need.
Try a cold plunge.
Try going to bed early one
night in the week.
Try anything that is fair to

When you are as mad as a bull

The grouch throws all his as
sociates into desperate inconveni

Few business men can afford
to get grouchy when in company
with their associates, customers,
friends or when at home with the
family.

GOLF AND WORLD PEACE
A distinguished jurist address
in * a meeting in Chicago
asserted that the game is more
potent than any alliance to pre
vent international discord.
It is a sport that is played
everywhere under the same rules.
If one can play it or play at it
in the United States, he can tee
up on top of Mount Everet—if
he could get there—call “fore" and
shoot, knowing that nobody could
pull some new and unheard-of
regulation on hint.
. It is not necessary to speak the
same language as your opponent.
f he If will h€ fai,B know to exactly C0Unt hl what * atrokes you *
mean when you bring the fact to
Ms attention by the sign language
or by any other method indicat
ing suspicion and disapproval.
When you beat him he knows it
as well as he would if you told
him about it in forty different
tongues.
Pursuing the thought'of the cos
mopolitan character of the game,
the judge says:
“We hear every day of the
meeting of statesmen and diplo
mats on the golf links and we
golfers know what this means in
establishing good accord, for there
is something in the game that in
spires mutual confidence and gen
erous fellow-feeling. n
There may be something in the
thought, though we believe there
are in the present British cabinet
—which is accused of pulling a
good deal of rough stuff in Egypt
—a number of men who are quite
handy with golf clubs.
The game has not seemed to
diminish their international punch
and forcefulness.
Perhaps the Chicago explana
tion of this apparent departure
from the general theory of golf’s
soothing effect on the relations be
tween statesmen is that the Egyp
tians are known as the worst sort
of duffers.
Their exhibition may have ruin
r temeper.
Such a thing is possible and
should be taken account of ih any
thesis such as that outlined.
