THE SPIRIT OF XMAS.
Yes, GhrlMmn* la coming
Already the wonderful spirit of tho
day Is In the air. Already millions of
persons are beginning to think what
they enn do for other millions.
Little by little this wonderful spirit
will grow, until nearly everyone every
where will he seized with a feeling of
kindness toward others.
This, Indeed, Is the miraculous part
of Christmas —quite ns much n miracle
as the song the shepherds heard. For
at nil other times of the year It Is the
huhlt of ninety-nine per cent, of the
population to confine thoughts pretty
largely to self.
And now, at this season, everyone
seems to be trying to think ns much aa
possible of everything but self.
The transformation is so general that
we do not notice It ns we might If only
n few were thus changed. It Is not
until »( sit down to rend again thnt
perfect Christmas story, Dickens'
"Christmas Carol,' that we realize tho
extent of the change wrought by one
day set aside to commemorate the
birth of one child.
Even then we cannot fully under
stand It all For It 1s beyond (he reach
of the finite mind to grasp the wonder
of this yearly transformation The
most we con do Is to acknowledge that
It Is and to he thankful, very thankful,
In our hearts, for It.
As It conies over us this year, let us
think about II a little more than usual.
As we see our dislikes and hatreds,
our hitter feelings and enmities, our
disagreements and misunderstandings
■ nearly all our stumbling blocks nrs
misunderstandings l elng swept away
for the time by the oncoming bright
ness of this day, let us thing how easy
Is It to banish these things when we
stop thinking ul<out ourselves.
That, really, la about all there Is lo
It. We Just stop thinking about our
selves-simply change the direction of
our mental energy. Then tho miracu
lous happens. The minute we begin
to think what we can do for others, wo
begin to reap the rich harvest of ul
trulsm.
You remember live story of the two
friends who had committed great
wrongs and set out to find comfort,
each 1n the other. On the way they
met The one who first confessed was
astonished to hear a counter confession
from his friend.
"Our nouls are lost,' they agreed,
"but we will help each other to bear
the burden."
This they did valiantly, and so each
worked to soothe the other's grief each
found peace In this life, and the story
goes that when they died and stood
at the gate of heaven, csch was wel
comed.
“But how is it that I who sinned so
should he welcomed here?" exclaimed
one of them.
"Your sin was wiped out when you
stooped to lift your erring brother" was
the answer to each.
So It Is that at this season of lbs
year we loac our own unhappiness la
trying to bring happiness to others.
CAREFUL STATEMENT.
Two farmers met In ». certain town
a day or two after a cyclone and visit
td that particular nelghtmrhood.
"She shook things up pretty bad
out at my place." said one. stroking
his whiskers meditatively.
"By the way. HI," he added, "that
new barn o' youm get hurl any."
"Waal." drawled the other, 'i dun
no. 1 haven't found It yet.”

BILLY GOAT FRIGHTENS BILLY
PIG AGAIN.
One fine morning Billy (lout was
croßHlng the field when he .suddenly
thought he had not seen Billy Pig in
three days.
Hilly Goat looked In the dlrertlon
of Hilly Pig's house and caught sight
of something red coming down the
road.
"There he Is,” said Billy Goat. "I
would know Ids red coat a mile away.
He Is all right. I'll hide and jump out
when he gets along here.”
He turned to look for n good place
to hide and saw an old hogshead with
one end gone lying at ono side of tha
road.
llllly Oont went Into the hogshead
head first. He did not stop to think
he could not turn around after he was
In there, and ho was still laughing
when Hilly lhg came near to his hiding
place.
Hilly Goat walled until Hilly Pig was
dose beside the hogshead, and then
he began to make a growling noise, lie
could see Billy Pig through a hole in
the hogshead.
"O-r-r-r-r! G-r-r-r-r!” went Billy
Goat. Billy Pig stopped still and lis
tened.
"O-r-r-r-r! G-r-r-r-r!” came again
from the hogshead.
Hilly Pig looked al It and took a
step nearer, when a fiercer growl earn#
front the hogshead, ami Hilly Pig turn
ed and ran.
Hilly Goat thought it was time he
shewed himself, and he tried to get
out of his hiding place.
He tried to turn, and when he did
An Unanswered Christinas Appeal
(Editorial from (he Philadelphia North
American of December S 3, 190#,)
We withdraw for u few minutes from
the bustle of the holiday season rever
ently to consider the following letter
from a little girl:
Dear Editor. Please can you help
me out some way ? 1 did not know
»ho to write to until 1 thought of
you, <'an you help me some way?
1 will tell you what It Is about.
1 had two dear little rabbits that
1 loved dearly. One was a dear
little army rabbit. The other was a
dear little «ray one with a white
breast that used to heave with
lovlngnesa. ,
Tonight 1 went out with some
cabbage to feed them I called
them They iHd not eome. I railed
r.nd whistled, and still they did not
come I went to find them. 1 put
n \ hand tn their little house, lu
sh a«l of two warm little noses
there was a cold feeling. 1 took
them out .and tin s were DEAD 1
went In and cried for quite a white,
of course, that did not hrlug them
back to life. I could not eat, al
though we had a lovely cake for
dinner.
If any thing Is able to he done, 1
should he very happy. If electri
city or anything tun be applied to
on dear rnbhits m make their dear
little hearts beat once more
1 was given a 15 note for Christ-
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
the hogshead began to move. He
made another attempt, and this time
the hogshead began to roll over slow
ly. and then It went a little faster, and
Hilly Goat was first on his hack and
then on Ills feet, until he was going
so fast he did not know his feet from
his hack, and all the time he was call
ing for help as loudly as he could.
Hilly Pig ran a short distance, and
not hearing anyone behind him, he
stopped and looked hack Just lu time
to see the hogshead rolling down the
hill.
Knowing that whatever was In there
could not hurt him, ho ran back and
watched It roll.
lie heard Hilly Goat's cries for help,
but he did not recognize his voles
and ho did not know what the noise
whs, anyway.
The hogshead rolled on and on, and
finally landed beside a clump of hushes
by a stream of water at the foot of
the road.
Hilly Goat hacked out of his hiding
place and shook himself, lie was sure
Ills horns were broken and he did not
know but his neck was also.
lie stood up and found hts back
was all right, and then he saw the
water.
"I'll look in there and sec If I have
any horns left," he said, and then he
spied Hilly Pig standing at the top
of the hill looking at him.
Billy Pig had been so surprised when
he saw Hilly Goat back out of the
hogshead he had not recovered when
Hilly Goat saw him, and was still
staring and wondering what It could
mean.
"Hello. Billy Pig!” called Billy Goat.
"Gome down and got a drink of nice,
cool water. Sorry there isn't another
hogshead for you to come down in; It
ts great fun rolling down hill in one."
"What 1 cannot understand is why
you made such a noise." said Billy
Pig. "It sounded almost ns though you
were frightened, and once I thought I
heard you call 'Help! Help!'"
"Oh. no, 1 was not frightened." said
Billy Goat. "If I made a noise It was
because It was such fun; you know
we always make a noise of some kind
when we arc sliding down hill fast."
Hilly float trotted off over the field,
thinking he was lucky not to have
been killed, and wondering if Billy Pig
had any suspicion of what he had
really Intended to do in the first place.

Your little friend,
ETHEL J. MoELROY.
126 West Ashmead street,
Uermantown,
December 21, 1909.
We want to thank you, Ethel, for
the ■ oufldencc you have shown in thus
coming to us for help In the first keen
grief of your little life, hi all the
flood of Christmas malt that flows to
our desk there Is none which we feel
o proud as of your letter of childish
love and trust. We value it for your
own sake, for yours. Indeed, Is a con
fiding heart. Rut we like to think that
In the simplicity of your sorrow you
| have expressed the faith and affec
tion of thousands of other children.
We wish to tell you that all the re
wards and honors that could ever come
u> vis would he worthless without that
faith and affection.
But howsoever much pride we feel
In the evidence of your belief In us.
It ts small beside our grief and awe—
grief that ue cannot rcileve your sor-

row, awo at the helplessness of man
before the great mystery of death.
You are standing before that mys
tery for the first time. But your young
innocence is not more powerless than
the wisdom of the most learned men
that live or that ever have lived. Were
they all gathered about your poor dead
pets before the fire, they could do no
more than you can do yourself. Their
gigantic Intellects could know no more
of the real truth than your young
mind knows, If, Indeed, as much. For
we doubt not that your loving heart
has taught you things that the wise
men can never learn from books.
The grief which you now feel, Ethel,
Is hut a figure of the griefs which you
will meet, If you aro spared to the
term of life which we hope for you.
And we do not hope that it will be any
shorter because w’e know that you
must meet with keener sorrows.
You loved your rabbits. But what
is that to the love which you will yet
feel for other beings to come into your
life, and which you now feel for your
father and mother and for your broth
ers and sisters, if you are so fortunate
as to have brothers and sisters? So
will your future grief be greater than
your present one.
But do not think that we would wish
you fewer days, that you may escape
those sorrows. They are part of the
eternal plan, and every life is richer
for its sliare of them.
You ask us to perform a miracle,
Ethel. How many millions of grief
stricken hearts have cried for that
same miracle since the world began!
How many millions of millions will
cry for It before the end!
Other pets will comfort you, dear lit
tle friend, for your present loss; other
and stronger loves will fill your heart.
Other and keener griefs will wring
from you again a cry for that same
miracle which you now sock in vnln.
Hut then your appeal will be to a
Higher Power, and In your mature
faith you may find the miracle which
robs the grave of victory and takes
tho sting from death—a miracle which
had Its beginning more than 19A0 years
ugo, on the first Christinas dny.

RAILWAY MERGER MEETING.
Cleveland, Ohio. —Efforts of the Gen

thwart plans of directors of the Lake
Shore Railroad Company to consoli
date with the New York Central Rail
road Company, failed today when
Judge Stevens of common pleas court
refused an injunction.
The merger meeting is to take place
tomorrow. The General Investment
Company alleged that officials of the
two roads sought to deplete the treas

laws.
ESCAPES WAR! MEETS DEATH.
Pittsburg, Pa.— After emerging un
scathed from a number of battles
while serving under a Russian color,
Joseph Kaminski deserted, made a
perilous trip to a seaport, boarded a
steamer as a stowawy and came to
America only to meet death three days
after arriving here. Kaminski was
employed at a coal chute and was
killed yesterday when he fell and was
buried under tons of coal.
A child’s imagination is lively.
It creates in miniature a world of its
own.
Wise parents take advantage of this
in toy choosing.
They select toys that have an educa
tional value, that stimulate the child’s
mind and keep it working in healthy
channels.
There are many such toys—for young
and old. some of them so interesting that
it will be hard to keep papa and grandpa
from monopolizing them.
Where to see them? At any of the
good stores.
And the way to the best store?
Full directions will usually be found
in the advertising columns of The Herald.
