SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT CHRISTMAS Mrs. Morris Tells of a Conversation She Had With a Little Girl About Santa Clans. MR. EDITOR: Now that the Christmas festivities approach, and soon will be heard the small boy with the whistle, or the boy with the small whistle, I do not know juBt how that is, and that most mys terious personage Santa Clous, will be stalking abroad over the land, I am reminded of a remark a little girl once made to me. We were inmates of the same house for the time, and she was the only child in the house. A fellow feeling of loneliness brought us to gether, and we soon became acquaint ed. She was eight years of age, partly German by berth, slender of form, with a wealth of flaxen hair, which fell below her waist, and the prettiest blue eyes—they made me think of the gen tian. Moreover, she had three tiny wrinkles which came straight down over her nose and teemed to be con tinually snylng: “We were bofrn of tribulation; we were bom of tribula tion.” Not altogether, however. There are children and children, and Lottie was of the class we suffer the second kind to belong. Often she grew quite at a loss how to amuse herself, and would frequently resort to my room. One day I told her to ask her mothqr if she might come'and sit with me for fifteen minutes each night after supper. She was delighted. The first evening she appeared she was unusually dignified. She was an invited guest, and she felt it. After engaging her for a few moments in conversation about childish things, I asked: “Lottie, do you love God?" 'Clicking her little heels over her chair, and carefully adjusting her skirt over her lap, she replied with much deliberation: "Mrs, N— I don’t know whether there is a God or not." Now, I had not thought of Lottie in the guise of a skeptic, and was much astonished at her reply. “Why child,”- I exclaimed, “lias no one ever told you of God?” “Oh yes,” she answered, clutching the back qf the chair with rigid fingers, “but, Mrs. N— they fool ed me abopt Santa Glaus, and they may be fooling me about God.” There, no wonder the little wrinkles seemed to ery out “tribulation, tribu lation.” She had had her earthly di vinity swept away, and how could she be sure ot her heavenly one? Is there not mucli food for thought in her reply. I found her amenable to argument, however, and in the evenings which followed she seemed to accept with simple childish faith the belief that God is however Santa Claus is not. ' On asking her what sort of a place she thought Heaven was, she curled her tiny hand upward and said: “I think it is a nice, soft place” Dear little one, I hope she will reach there. Siie hod not thp teaching of kind parents. The last I saw of her she was attending Sunday school and she assured me that she was still be lieving in God. I have often wondered if any other child looks at it in the same way. JENNIE STOVALL NORRIS.

K. • A SENSIBLE SUOQESTION. • A Suggestion hus been made to the legislature by E. C. Branson, of the State Normal College at Athens, as to the manner of rail ing more revenue for tho stdtfl without raising a higher tax that should be well considered. There are many forms of gain* ful occupation in Georgia that aro paying no taxes to the utote at present. Many ot these have little to tax in the way of property, but they are making money abundant* iy out of the privilege of doing business in Georgia. Make them pay a privilege tax to the state, They can afford it. Other states do it and receive thousands into their treasuries where Georgia re ceives nothing.
