All Have Desire to Make Fellowmen Happy by Gift or Words of Greeting. NEITHER hatred, nor envy, nor de ceit, nor all the legions of ugly human passions that assail the heart, nor rancor between Individuals, nor nntlonal lust for power, can extin guish It. They may dim but they can not quench the spark In the heart of man which Impels him, as every wan ing year brings the Christinas, to try to make a few of hfs fellowmen a lit tle happier. Often It Is by the method of the gift, perhaps something that costs hundreds of dollars, maybe only a penny card bearing an Inscription of good cheer.

FRESH GROCERIES FOR THE CHRIST MAS TABLE. A. S. EBERHART Broad Street, Next to Post Office. SANTA CLAUS Headquarters We have made great preparations for the Christmas Holiday Trade. Our Store is Chock full of everything for the little folks and the grown-ups too, consisting of Dolls, Doll Beds, Doll Carriages,, Tea Sets, Pict ure Books, Pictures, Balls, Horns, Trains, Bicycles, Tricycles, Drums, Wagons, Wind ing Autos, Air Guns, Toy Animals, and in fact any and everything imaginable to make a suitable Christmas Gift and make the lit tle tots happy for Christmas. All are rea sonably priced. Make this store your headquarters; we have what you want. thing Intangible, the whole-souled word of greeting to the old lady In a shawl who sells you your paper, or the smll of comradeship which you give the conductor who punches your ticket, or the elevator man who takes you up to your office (fellow workers all). It Is not giving that counts, not the bestowal of something valued In dollars and cents, the transference of something from your hand to anoth er’s. That Is a purely mechanical process, which may or may not cre ate happiness. No; It Is the longing to give, the desire to be the cause of another’s happiness. To wish to help others Is* the oldest passion In the world —even a little older than the impulse to overcome others. And It Is the deathless pas sion as well. It needs no Christmas day to keep it alight, but as long as Christmas continues to provide fuel to make the flame of good fellowship burn brighter, that day will continue to be the richest 24 hours in all the year. ©he Httttor Nrutß Santa Claus’ Books WHEN the evening shadows gather and the time Is eight o'clock You can hear, if you will listen, Mr Sand Man's gentle knock. Then you’d better hustle lively -time your evening prayers were said And each boy and girl well tucked In their cory. downy little bed. For when Mr. Sand Man’s knocking sounds the signal, you may know Santa Claus Is closely watching from his palace built of snow. And the children that are naughty and don't mind their ma's and pa's Get their names down In the “Bad Book” that Is kept by Santa Claus. Boys who never split the kindling, and the girls who always cry When they’re asked to wash the dishes— Santa Claus has got his eye On such boys and girla, and watches with a sad ar.d soiiy look As he wrires each name in sorrow on the pages of his book. And the girl who never hurries, but lets mamma do the work, And the boy who's always scheming all his little chores to shirk— They may think no one pays notice when they dor. t help ma’s and pa’a But their names are on the “Bad Book” that Is kept by Santa Claus. But old Santa keeps a "Good Book"—lt’s the bestest book of all, Where he writes the names of children who are prompt at duty's call, And the boys who split the kindling and \ the girls who never shirk But rise early In the morning and help mamma with the work; And the boys who never grumble when there's work for them to do. And the girls who help their mammas till the housework Is all through— Oh, they needn’t ever worry when It’s Christmas time, because All their names are In the ’’Good Book” that Is kept by Santa Claus. Is your name down In the “Bad Book?” Well, there Is still a chance for you. And If you will listen to me. I will tell you what to do. Don’t act naughty, don’t talk rudely, don't be noisy, be polite; Get up early In the morning, and into bed early at night. Cheerfully perform each duty, do your work before you play. Never put off till tomorrow work that should be done today. If you do these things, dear children. It will please your ma’s and pa's. And your names go In the “Good Book” that is kept by Santa Claus.

When we re ceive u gift nicely wrapped with tis sue paper and decorated with pretty Christmas seals, there Is an added pleasure. This is especially so when we realize that the sender has spent time and cleverness to give this little touch of personal thoughtfulness. Many varieties of Christmas seals may be purchased, but a little original ity will not come amiss even in these small details. There are seals for the outside package and the heading to be used on the note paper, conveying the good wishes of the giver, or on the little card of greeting. These two In each set match. This gives another touch of the unusual, which Is always sought after. Have a piece of carbon paper, place it over the note paper, card or seal, and on top of this one of the designs. Carefully trace with a sharp pencil the entire outline. An exact duplicate of the design will be found on the note paper or seal ready for tinting. This may be easily done with water colors or wax crayons. Polnsettia should he colored a warm, bright red. with yellow centers and dark green stems. Holly, the special emblem of this season, has berries of vivid, fiery red and glossy leaves of dark green. * A dainty basket of forget-me-nots would be pretty colored yellow, the Iflftweta a faint light blue and the bow kpot of pale pink. Now we huve the hlystfc sign of the holidays, borrowed from, the Druids, the mistletoe. The berries of this plant are a pearly white and the leaves a yellowish green. Spend a little extra time giving the Christmas gift this novel decoration, and the pleasure it afford* will never cause you to regret having done so. Economy Is to be considered at Christmas time. Our purse-strings hnve bpen stretched to the breaking point purchasing gifts for relatives nnd friends. To put this fascinating bit of handiwork upon the Christmas package costs comparatively nothing, aside from the time you spend doing It. This fact founts very little when we add to the enjoyment of others. These few suggestions will probably cause endless ideas for the Christmas package to present them selves to you. Make your gifts radiate the holiday spirit; give this little bit of [retsonnlity and attractiveness to as small a thing as the Christmas seal. HOW UNKIND “Fred is getting nearsighted.” “It doesn’t follow that there Is anything the matter with his eyes because he can’t see one under the mistletoe.” Christmas Packages. A woman whose Christmas pack ages never fall to reach their destina tion In safety says she always writes the name and address of the recipient upon the Inside wrapper of the box containing them. Packages sometimes lose their outside wrappings, but if the postal clerks can find the address on the inside wrapping all will be well. This woman also ties up the In side wrapping securely before putting on the outside cover. Christmas Program AT THE < I Strand Theatre FRIDAY. DECEMBER, 16.
