THE LEE COUNTY=.IOURNAL
VOLUME TWENTY-FIVE
Railroads must spend money to
save money, says President W. A.
Winburn, of the Central of Georgia
Railway, in a statement quoting in
teresting figures which show how the
publié welfare is served by well
planned ' expenditures for improve
ments and extensions to railway
facilities. Mr. Winburn argues that
railway earnings should be set and
kept at a rate sufficient to encourage
investment in railway securities,
since the investing public is the only
seurce from. which transportation
_mypanies can ocbtain money fore®en
. rrements and impzovements.

: «f (eorgia was 69 per cent
_ootes in 1922 than in 1910, but
‘s incerased business was handled
with a decrease in ‘the number of
freight train miles. If the average’
freight train load had been in 1922
what it was in 1910, the direct costs
of freight train operation (including
wages, fuel, lubricants and other
supplies) would have been $1,726,-
047 greater in 1922 than they actu-.
ally were. To bring about this re-l

Freedom from threats of premature

ORIGINAL SANTA CLAUS
‘He is believed to have been St
Nicholas, a bishop in the year 300. He
was famous for his kindness to chil
dren. - It is-said that one night, wish
ing te help a nobleman who was so
poor 'that “he ‘hlad no money for hig
daughter’s dowry, the good bishop
looked.in at the old man’s window and
saw him asleep by the fire. He then
climbed upon the roof and dropped a
gold piece down the ¢himney, thinking
. that it would fall upon the hearth.
But it fell instead in one of the gentle
man's stockings, which his daughter
bad hung up to dry beside the fise.
This started. the custem of hgnging
gtockings over the fireplace and the
legend of Santa coming down the
chimney. 3

Ted’s Gift to
the Christ Child
l ND there were in the same
. country shepherds abiding
. in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night.,”
Slowly and reverently the
; “minister read the beautiful
| old Christmas story to the
waiting congregation. Ted
! - settled snugly against the
back of the pew and listened. He had
listened to the story every Christmas
morning as far back as he could re
~member; but today it seemed differ
, ent!
| “And suddenly there was with the
angel, a multitude of the heavenly
host,” continded the minister.
Ted's eyes grew wide with wonder.
It was more wonderful, more beauti
| ful than any fairy story he had ever
read.
“And, 10, the star went before them,
and led them to where the young
child lay.”
“And they brought him gifts, gold,
and frankincense, and myrrh.”
Ah, those kings were rich; they
could afford to bring him gifts. He
‘pltied the shepherds. They brought
‘no gifts; they must have been poor
like him! Then he looked up quickly:
~ “And we, too, may bring Him gifts;
the poor, as well as the aged,” con
cluded the minister.
Ted’s breath came quickly and his
eyes shone with excitement. He was
a little child, and he was poor, and he
wanted to give the Christ Child a gift.
The people were trooping out of the
church 'now, in merry groups. No
body noticed the shabby little boy,
who, with flushed face and question
ing eyes, went slowly down the steps
and turned Into a side street. Sud
denly he remembered; the cloud left
his face and he dashed joyously down
the snowy sidewalk. A wonderful
thing had happened last night! Santa
Claus had paid a visit to his home for
the first time, although he had. hung
his faded, little stocking under the
mantel every Christmas eve. It was
so nice to have a Christmas gift of
his own; Ted thought lovingly of the
new top and quickened his steps.
“A little child may bring him gifts,”
the words rang through his head.
Well, he had nothing to give. Then he
stopped short—he had his top! !
The: next Sunday morning a little
boy in a threadbare suit slipped
quietly into a back pew of the great
church. He carried with him an odd
ly-shaped package, which he fingered
lovingly all through the service. Then
the organ played softly and he could
hear the clink of the money as it fell
into the collection plate. He held the
precious package close to him—the
plate was coming nearer—it had
passed into the next pew—now it had
reached him! He heard the package
drop with a dull thud into the plate.
Then he leaned back, unmindful ‘of
the curious glances in his direction.
A little, quivering sigh escaped his
lips; ' but his eyes were bright and
there was something glad in his heart.
The Christ Child had accepted Ted’s
gift.—Jennie M. Mills, in Farm and

. ¥ ATSON was a “peculiar- hom
w bre”’—that was agreed be
tween all the boys at the
“works” where he put in
most of his time at small
jobs. In addition to being
“peculiar,” as his mates re
ferred to Watson's scoffing
: ' npature, Watson was not in
good health. "In fact, he admitted to a
“defective fly-wheel,” by which "he
meant that his heart was bad. :
Watson was a genius, in his way,
too, besides- being peculiar. He had
some conception of a rude kind of art.
His hobby was making molds and cast
ing little brass figures and designs—
having it done for him, rather, after
he had perfected the molds—and often
he would bring something new to the‘
};wonks for the boys to admire and pur
chage. . » ‘ :
- Among his objets d’'aft, as he called
‘the;n facetiously, were ash trays of
fangiful design, lamps, mirror frames l
and whatever ‘his fancy -suggested.
- His. lodging place was- close to the
works, and his room was-more than g
bedroom—it also was shop.and show
room: A little.bench, with vise, blowW
pipe, files, a burnisher, etec., occupied
a corner, and the p‘r'd(hlcts'oflgflsggemus
were displayed along the. svall on'the
other side of the room. ™ * .~ *
Watson had been complaining of his
infirmity just before 'Christmas, but
seemed to take rpore't}ian usual pridé
in the little érucifix which he had just:
completeds. The,‘boyé'v‘;lQQl;ed‘ at fon',éi

When Watson failed to report at the.
works the day after Christmas, ingniry
was made for him at his lodging place.
Finally forcing the door, the geéarchers
found the “peculiar hombre” kneeling
at his bedside in the position in which
he must havé surrendered. - "
In one naiid® was a Christmas card
from his mother in: an eastern state
and’a letter addressed to her in which
he said h& was sending“her a little
present which he had been unable to
get ready sooner. - .. i

the little image in-which-he hgd tdken

When Santa Claus
- Was Late
By KATHERINE EDELMAN
(®, 1923, Western Newspaper Unlon.)
. 4@ HERE are a few grown folks
G living yet who can remem
w ber the year they thought
| SRR Santa Claus had forgotten
* el f{lie children, for it was @
5 % ~Jong time after the midnight
A““u ¥ - hour ‘before the jingle of his
sbatidd sleigh bells was heard any
« .- where, When, finally the
jolly little man did appear all the
mothers and fathers in the world
heaved a deep breath of relief, for
there is no mother or father in all the
world that would not feel evén mqre
disappointed than .their children if
Santa failed to caome- at Christmsa
time. 4 i ’
Of course, it was not Santa’s fault
that he was late that Christmas—it
was qll due to his reindeers. He-had
been a bit impatient with them that
day, but his impatience was all caused
by the amount of work that lay before
him and because of his eagerness to
get to the children. But the reindeers
did not stop to think about this; in
stead, they planned to play a trick
on Santa Claus to get even with him
for chiding them. So, when they
started out to make their trip around
the world, they whispered among
themselves while Santa sat dozing in
the sleigh. He had ‘given them in
structions to wake him at the very
first stopping place on the list. But,
instead of doing as they were told and
keeping close to earth, the reindeers’
thought it would be a great joke on
Santa; Claus if they soared upward to
the nearest planet instead. So upward
they plunged, ag fast as their flying |
feef could carry them. and they had
nearly reached that far-off planet when |
Santa woke up with a start. Seeing,
the trick that had been played on him
he ‘became very angry and told them
how much unhappiness the little chil—.l
dren would suffer if their plans had'
carried. He then ordered them to make
for earth as quickly as possible, telling
them that there might yet be time to
distributé all the gifts. They were
very frightened now at the thing they
had done and’their hearts were full of
sorrow lest they- should be late with
their gifts, so they put on all speed
that it was possibée for them to do and
spun dizzily through the air. l
TFhey made the trip to earth in rec
ord time and not a little boy or gir]l
waß missed as they went swiftly fmm,l
house to house, nor did any of them
know how nearly they came to having
no Christmas at all, because of the
trick which the reindeers tried to play
on Santa Claus. £t 2% 2
