A BEAUTIFUL CHRIST
MAS LEGEND
Entertain The Poor or Orphan
Strangers.
The Germans have a legend
that on a cold winter night two
children were sitting by the lire.
They heard a timid knock. A
tiny, stranger, barefoot and
ragged and shivering with cold
was brought in and warmed. Hi
shared their supper, slept in
their bad while they slept on a
hard bench. In the night they
were awakened by sweetest
music from a band of children
clothed in shining garments
Suddenly the little stranger
stands beside them clad in
silvery light and his soft voice
says: “I was cold, I was hungry,
I was tired and ye helped me, I
am the Christ child wandering
through the world to bring hap¬
piness to good children. As you
have given to me, so may this
tree every year give rich fruit to
you.” So saying he broke a
branch from a fir tree, planted it
and disappeared. The branch
grew to be a great tree and now
the Christmas tree bears fruit

THE MURRAY NEWS, FRID AY, DECEMBER 18, 1907
A Letter.
As I have never written to this
paper I don’t hardly know how
to begin, but I am going to try
(if the Editor doesn’t object) to
give my ideas of the Center Hill
school. Although I have just
taught one month I find that the
children who came were real
good but l can’t tell anything
about those who were at home.
First I feel it my duty to
thank the parents, who were so
willing and kind in helping me
to build up the school, by send¬
ing their children and asking
others to send theirs you did
all you could, to build up the
school and I can’t blame you one
bit; but to those that I visited
and insisted on sending their
children and they could find such
good excuses to keep them at
home and out of school l want to
say that you are only throwing
stumbling blocks in their way,
that will keep them, from going
higher in future years.
This day and time the world is
after the learned people (al¬
though I don’t profess to know
anything I wouldn’t take this
whole wdrld today for what little
I do know) and when one is
found to have no education they
are always being trampled on
and are always meeting up with
some one who wants to trade
with them so as to get all they
have if they have anything.
It is a parent’s duty to send to
school and if they don’t of course
they won’t come after they grow
older and childhood days and
school days are too short to be
thrown away in hunting as I find
it this way near Center Hill;
some of them are too busy kill¬
ing rabbits and squirrels to
think about coming to school.
It doesn’t differ about their
clothes; they are not going to
school to learn how to be a dress
maker of any kind if you had on
silk and didn’t have any educa¬
tion do you think you would ever
be with learned people. Your
clothes do not make you, it is
your character and principle, if
it were the clothes how hard ev¬
ery one would try to look better
some one else.
I took the Center Hill school
to begin in a strange place think¬
I could do better than near
home, but I found out that where
I was best known I was wanted
most.
I feel that I did my duty as a
teacher and I do hope that the
people around Center Hill will
do all they can to help build the
school up for the next teacher,
whoever it may be.
I gave it up of my own free
will because 1 couldn’t get
enough scholars to entitle me to
pay board and stay away from
home.
I was not put out or didn’t
quit because I couldn’t manage
the school for I never saw a bet
ter managed school anywhere. I
quit because most of the people
didn’t take any interest in the
school, I mean those who didn’t
send, not those who did for they
did their duty.
I was worried and did not
know what to do hut on getting
a letter from home I was made
to feel good to hear that a trustee
of the school at my own home
where I am a member of the
church was asking for me to
come there to teach.
I just thought that in my dis¬
couragement at a strange place
how nice it was to know that my
neighbors held me in that high
esteem. I felt very discouraged
but stood it as best I could.
We all have dark paths to
travel and they are awful dis
couraging at the beginning, like
it was with me as it was my first
school.
At Mr. Taylor Osborne’s,where
I boarded, I found a warm wel¬
come and to them 1 can’t express
my heartfelt thanks for they
were so kind in helping me in
way possible to encourage
and pursuade children to come to
school. I would not want a bet¬
ter place to board if I should
teach all my life,
1 gave the children their prizes
just as if 1 had taught the five
months for I knew it would
make the little girls and boys
feel so disappointed if I didn’t.
I could not do those bright little
fellows that way for I can re¬
member how bad it was to be
disappointed when I was a child
going to school.
I owe to a number of the
people around Center Hill a
hearty thanks and I cannot say I
am sorry I went there but I can
say i am sorry that thore people
have let the school go down, so
please try to build it up is my
advice as it is to your interest as
much as to a teacher, for a teach¬
er can get another school, but
still your children are growing
up and not getting their rights,
for you are having to pay a tax
for a free school, but who is to
blame not the children or the
teacher, it is the parents. Please
think the matter over and don’t
blame somebody else but blame
.yourself and get the little girls
and boys a book and start them
to school regardless of their
clothes.
Well. I will clcse, hoping the
school will bo built up and the
children get a good education
