jkT t If one *© going to give a Christmas prss
j[ 1 J ent it should be with a cheerful heart,
b&fwl You can’t give in this spirit do not
give at all. Sic give presents to our
friends at Christmas because they arc our
friends and because we derive pleasure from
such giving, liv the giving of Christmas pres
ents there should be none of that spirit which
suggests commercialism. Chcre should never
be any expectation of reciprocity. Che giving
of a Christmas present should be from the
heart. Che present itself counts for little. Che
spirit and motive which prompt the giving are
all important.
A QUESTION.
IF there isn’t any Santa Claus, who la
it turns your feet
Toward the shop where gifts, are smil
ing as you walk along the street?
Who is it sets you thinking, though
you’re busy as can be.
About the songs and laughter round the
children's Christmas tree?
Though you vow "this Christmas business
Is a nuisance anyhow,"
There’s an influence at work that clears
the frowning from your brow.
The small tin trumpet sounds a blast that
wakes your soul serene
To homage for the doll who Is a lady and
a queen.
And the once prosaic world where it has
been your lot to dwell
Is a realm of fascinations 'neath some
mystic fairy spell.
If there isn’t any Santa Ctaus, who is it.
day by day,
That turns our thoughts Christmas,
strive to shun it as we may?
Who comes at this bleak season armed
with telepathic arts
And by generous suggestion dominates our
minds and hearts?
CONSTANT CHRISTMAS.
Oh, never failing splendor,
Oh. never silent song,
Still keep the green earth
tender.
Still keep the gray earth
strong!
Still keep the brave earth
dreaming
Of deeds that shall be done
While children’s lives come
streaming
Like sunbeams from the
sun!
Oh, angels, sweet and splen
did,
Throng In our hearts and
sing
The wonders which attended
The coming of the King!
—Phillips Brooks.
CHRISTMAS TIME.
PEACE and good will toward men!
Blest Christmas time
That brings to famished thousands
a good meal,
While even those, immured in cells,
that steal '
From others—make their livelihood in
crime—
Now sit at tables with the best of fare.
Children, unused to luxuries and joys,
Now have are e'en blessed
with toys.
For ilid not Christ take such unto hi*
care?
The laborer sick, his family hungry, cold
Is now remembered; wood and coal and
rent
And flour and meal and fowl to him are
sent
By them that know the genuine use of
#ild,
Whose eyes have seen the shepherds watch
by night.
Who ve read the Sermon on the Mount
aright.
—Edward S Oeamei In. Brooklyn Eagle.

Investigating the Buzzard.
j Atlanta, Doc. 17th—Before an-
I Other hunting season is on, it
[ maybe that buzzards now protect
ed by the strictest laws, will
be the legitimate targets for rifle
j and shotgun. 1
Agricultural interests of vari
ous kinds throughout the state
are combinding in an investiga
tion to find out whether the pro
tection of the buzzard is not a
fallacy, and if the buzzard does,
not do a great deal more harm by
spreading hog cholera and other
diseases, than it does good as a
scavenger.
If allegations mgde against the
buzzard by the United States de
partment of agriculture are ver
ified by experiments in Georgia
a general slaughter of the buz
zard may be expected, and ijn
the course of years it may become
extinct in this country.
