However if one can afford it, there is nothing more pleasant than to remember the one who has contributed daily to our comfort. Most every one can afford to do this, however, most of The problem of Christmas giving us must be t.ontent t0 wish these will aways loom up as an import- persons a Merry Christmas when the Jint one in the. lives of some persons. ,!ay arrives. Most of us with limit There are in this world those or- ed means make a sad mistake by derly folks who begin preparing for Upending too much money for one one Christmas just as soon as an- Kjft. and then running short when it other one is over. Some there are comes to others. who are already for Christmas, have What we would like to give and their gifts bought or made, wrapped what we can afford to give are two and labeled weeks and even months different things. There is no surer before the arrival of the date itself, way to spoil you,. Christmas than to Most of us however, are not so or- K've far beyond your means. Sure derly. We can not seem to get the '.V it is the thought hack of the gift spirit of the season until the time ae-i'hat makes it real. Some people tually is quite close at hand, then we never feel they are really giving a dash madly about, trying to decide ; worthwhile prese.it unless it is pur what to give to our friends and in I chased in a shop. What a mistake, spite of the rush, getting a lot o when it is the gift that breathes the fun out of it. Aside from the fact giver that has the greatest value. The that one should shop early in order not to rush the store clerks at the last moment 1, personally like the Christmas hustle during the last two proper gift usually has no great mon ey value but it tells of true friend ship. Please dont despise the home ly, inexpensive gift and feel it is too weeks before the event. There lsjnumoie tor you to present to your something thrilling about the hurry j friends, for the person who fails' to nnd confusion. It is so unlike any other holiday in this respect. Any how to return to the problem of Christmas giving Why should it be ap roblem? After all, Christmas is intended as a time when, one rhould exhibit a spirit of good will and generosity towards all men. That sounds simple enough dosen't it and yet most ofl us make of this occasion something approaching and irksome task. That's because we have lost Eight of the real meaning of Christ mas. Of course it would be proper to remember those who have been friends, but this does not mean to give the friend an over expensive present. The Christmas card has come to mean much in the way of helping us to give appropriately at the holiday season. As a rule Vfell bred persons do not give presents outside cf their close value a small gift for the thought that is hack of it is the greatest loser and not the giver. Let your Christmas giving reflect the warmth of your heart- and not the dimensions of your pocket book. Monday of last week Capt. Sam Nelson while out fishing was forced ashore by his crew which rebelled and I suppose would have almost caused mutiny on board had ke done as he wished to; but the sea grew so bad that he came in and has not been out since.

SPORTS IN PROPER PLACE In r" By ANNA DEMING GRAY ' VKUY land has Us Christinas customs anil superstitions, lut It is only since lie Christian era tiiut the spirit of kindness and good will lias prevailed all over. The I'hrltttmus stocking originated In Italy, and the legend goes that good old St. Nicholas of l'adua Is responsi ble for It. He hud habit of going nlout the windows of the poor and slyly throwing In knitted purse of money. After a time the purses were hung just outside the windows, so that he might skip no one. In northern Italy it was so cold that a stocking was substituted and huug by 'the chim ney place, and slipping down the chim ney be would put his gift there. The Russian children till their shoe with hay ten days before Christmas and place them outside the door, so that St. Nicholas may have food for his horse, for this is the time be makes the rounds to find where the khmI children live, before going out to tal.e the gifts. The Bulgarians think that the ani mals talk with each other Christmas niirht; the sheep walk In a procession about the place, and the bees hum In their hives. In Sweden and Norway, thirteen days are given over for the Christmas I fosthal and are called "Yule days," I or "Trellen Yule." For days the house I mother is busy making everything spotlessly clean. Houghs from the i juniper and tir trees are spread upon j the floor. The family go, in turn, to ilio bake bouse, which has been made j warm, and here each takes n good wash from bead to foot. This is eon I sidered an important part of the cere monies, for in many cases it is the only hath taken until next Yuletide. The children of today, nnd of all I be years to come, w ill lie glad that the Itoundhends of Oliver Cromwell's time, and the Puritans of New Eng land, did not succeed in losing Christ mas off the map. as they tried so hard to do. The Kay Polony of Massachu setts did prohibit the making of mince (iles, for a time, and declared that trimming the house with greens wni a wicked nnd pagan custom. But we have good authority for even this cus tom, for Christ's only day of public honor on eartli was marked by the Mrewing of palm branches before Him, C. H.
