CHRISTMAS IN THE COUNTRY.
Christmas in the country 1 Christmas
Day in the old farm homo! Whnt pleas
ant memories it reenlls to. some of us,
and what good times it will mean for
mnny of us this year. Thoro iB really
no place like the farm homo for Christ
mas good times and good eheer. Here,
if anywhere, prosperity and plenty
abound, and in family gatherings and
in neighborhood reunions, with an abun
dance of the fruits of our labor with
which to spread our bountiful boards,
old friendships may be renewed, new
ones made, and oven “the stranger with
in our gates” may be added to the list.
At Chrlstmas'tinio we nmy put into
practice the real principles of neighbor
ing. Living close togothor docs not al
ways make neighbors. Speaking acquain
tances ure not alwnys neighbors. To bo
real neighbors we muBt have tho spirit of
neighborlinoss in our hearts which
prompts us to get together once iu
n while, to gather around a well-laden
table and toast, and visit, and laugh and
joke, and hnvo a rousing good time. To
love our neighbor as wo do ourself we
have to know him pretty well, and there
is nothing like these neighborly reunions
as a moans of getting acquainted.
It may bo that somo of us will have to
do a littlo mental nnd spiritual house
cleaning before Christmas Dqy dawns.
We shall have to rid ourselves of all
tho old rubbish of grudges, dislikes, jeal
ousies and ill-foelings which we will dud
pigeon-holed away when wo bogin to
overhaul the accumulation of the years.
You will have to throw all this into the
discard'beforeyou get into the real Christ
mas spirit, because tho two will not mix.
If you have wronged your neighbor in
any way, Chrlstmns is a good timo to
make reparation. And if you feel that
you have been wronged, why, just forget
it nnd the Christmas spirit and tho Christ
mas “get-together” will do tho rest.
Christmas should be a time of pence nnd
good will to nil mankind, and not to a
fow favored friends. It should be a time
of reviving old associations, of renowing
old friendships, and of making new
friends, nnd the peace and good will, tho
neighborlincss and good fellowship thus
revived should not bo allowed to dio out
as the yule fires cense to burn, but should
flow out in-a plenteous stream to enrich
our lives through all’ the days tff the
coming year.
THE GLAD YULETIDE.
Talk about- the joyous May-time with its,
blossoms on the trees,
With tho strumming and the hnmming of
the little honey bees
Rioting ’mid the sweetness of tho orchnrd
over thore,
And the summer breezes talking littlo
love words everywhere;—
Yet there’s something more heart-thrill
ing in the Yuletide’s silver chime
Calling all hearts to be merry for the
joyful Christmas time.
0, tho sweetly scented summer with its
breezes soft nnd mild,
And the laughing little brooklet dancing
like a happy child,
And the shimmer of the sunshine over nil
the happy land,
Tousled grasses la the meadow, lenfy
wood so green nnd grand,
Make you think there’s nothing grander
—summer’s just superfine!
But it doesn’t stir your pulses like tho
happy Christmas time!
0, the happy days preceding, when
there’s secrets everywhere,
Love-light beaming in all faces, drowning
out our petty care;
There’s love and lilt and lightness that
no poet has expressed,!
There’s harmony and gladness that the
summer never guessed,
There’s something most appealing in the
Yuletide’s silver chime
That makes every heart beat happy for
the joyful Christmas time!
—Darius Enrl Mnston.

Omar Klayyam said he could dine on
a loaf of bread and a jug of wine with
Her beside him, nnd feel contont in the
wilderness—but he only meant that he
liked the desert nnd his old tin Lizzie,
and tho crooked roads' that make you
dizzy, that start any place and lead no
where, and just keep going and nevor
care. 1 He liked the mesquite and the
gronsewood smell and the long hot days
that feel like h—1; the red sunsets and
the cool moonlight, and the soft, sweet
air of the desert night—for Omar Klay
yam was a wonderful man, who lived bis
life on. an easy plan, with his girls and
his wine and a big silk tent—My, oh,
my! What a,life,ihe spent. . . The
-desert is here like it always was—but
you can’t Klayyam any more, bocuz
in these dry days when every, home brew
is on the list of things taboo, old Omar
Klayyam nnd his jug of juice would soon
got locked in the cnlabooso.—Salome

SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY.
It seems that whore one has grown a
little old the best and happiest wny to
eelobrato Chrlstmns is to do somothlng
for remembrance—in remembrance of
one’s own childhood, for Christmas is
really for tho children, aftor all.
It is for children more that for others
because it is a day that commemorates
tho birth of a child—that wondrous Christ
child that was born in n mnngor of a
stable in the little town of Bethlehom
2,000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcoly a child in
all the world who will not await tho dawn
of Christmas morning with a wondering
soul. It is tho dawn of that day when
the morning stars sang together, and
when “peace on earth and good will to
ward men ’ ’ were proclaimed from the
high heavens. But thoro will bo many a
child to whom Christmas will not bring
its dearly longed-for happiness, .
The children of tho rich will not bo
disappointed, nor should the children of
the very poor be disappointed. It is the
child who has rich or well-to-do’fdlks, but
who, at-the same timo, is not subject for
charity, who will bo veoy unhappy when
Christinas comes
And it is this child that you should
seek out nnd mnko happy—for romcm
broncos.
You see, it is a fnct that wo can mnko
a happy Christmas for ourselves only by
making someone olso happy. Do not
think you can mako a happy ChristmnB
for yourself any other way, because you
cannot.
Try tho way hero pointed out. Tho
child is easily found, and when you have
found that ono and have made it-happy,
t-ho very angels of God will envy you the
gladness that you will feel.
WHY THE CHRISTMAS KISSES.
Why should men kiss girls who stand
under mistletoe?
Becauso they like it and because cus
tom allows it. Every kiss'uridor tho mis
tletoe, however, is a kiss which eolebratos
ono of the most charming evonts in
Christmas tradition.
Tho romance goes bnck to tho days
of the gods of Scandinavia, when Bnldnr
tho Beautiful wns shot by Locke, the
Spirit of Evil, with an nrrow of mistle
toe. But his mother, Venus of tho North)*
restored him to lifo by saluting with
kisses all who pnssed beneath a branch
held aloft in her hand..
Thus it beenme nn emblem of lovo and
happy celebration. Ancient races held
tho plant in groat veneration, particular
ly tho Druids, who went in procossion
in tho forests to collect it.
After New Year’s Day it wns distrib
utod among the people as n sacred and
holy plant. If any part of the mistletoo
touched the ground it was regarded as
nn omen of impending evil,

CHRISTMAS.
Boys ’ World.
Whether wo shout it or sing it, wc
must bo sure to mean it; for if we really
mean it when we sny, “Merry Christ
mas, everybody,” wo will do nil in our
power to mako Chrlstmns a day of un
sullied joy for all those within reach of
our influence.
• Christ enmo into the world to bring
light, which brings joy. ..He .came to
bring deliverance to men; to inspire a
higher hope in tho spirit of men. That
is the causo of the deepest joy to man
kind. Yes, Christmas is a joyful day ns
well as a snored day.
It is a day for doing good deeds, ns
well as thinking good thoughts. It is
not a day for receiving gifts only. There
are so many opportunities for doing good
that we may receive joy a hundredfold,
with tho expenditure of juBt a littlo time
and thought. There are so many who have
little; many who do not know tho mean
ing of this day as yon know it; many
whoso spirits nro crushed by disnster.

CAN’T SUPPORT FAMILY A YEAR
ON $1.75.
I noticed in Tho Herald last week
that the County Commissioners will dis
pose of most of the county convicts,
abolish tho camps, and sell the mules
belonging to tho county—this step taken
to save expenses. I don’t understand
why the county cnn’‘t go ahead with
road work now at less expense than over
before. Labor and ovorything else is
cheaper, and the county must have money
for this work. No ono else has, nt any
rate. I had ten acres in cotton this year,
and realized just $11.75 from my crap.
The county got $5 of this sum us roud
tax. While the County Commissioners
are trying to save-money, why don’t they
reduce tho rood tax? At least, I wish
they would tell mo how I can support my
family for n year on the 51.75 left aftor
paying my tax to keep up tho roods.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Glad Christmas Day is hero again, with
loving word and deed,
When all got much they do not want, and
little that they need;
The baby’s jacket cousin sent wc can’t
get on at all,
And mother’s slippers are too large, and
father’s are too small.
Anil sister Zella got a hood sho’ll be
■ afraid to wear.
Because its color clashes with the color
of her hair;
And brother Henry got some books from
pious uncle Ned,
And after he had told him, too, he hoped
he’d send a sled.

ver and LaGrippe. It’s the most speedy
remedy we know.
