Go H6me for Christmas CTOP at this busy Christmas season and think for a moment of the folks back home. Consider how much happier they will be if you are with them on this Christ mas day. Perhaps your parents are get ting very old now-perhaps they have only a few more Christmases to spend here. Cei> tainly your presence at the old home place would add greatly to their joy. Think of the days when you were a child~of the. Christmases, now gone forever, when your father and mother did so much to make you happy. A man's mother is the best friend he ever had or ever can have. One owes it to her to spend Christmas at her side and to devote the day to making her happy. But if we have no mother what would be prettier, what sentiment or act could be more beautiful, than to visit, her grave and make it green with wreaths and flowers on Christmas day? MPT LOU'S fFUNNYS QPOSEPC? FREDDIE was very fond of Aunt Lou and huif been saving up his pennies to buy her a Christ mas present. He had five when he climbed into his mother's lap to consult as to how the money should be invested. 1 After the conference it was agreed that Aunt Lou's present -should be a rose. The florist's was only Ave blocks down the street. In front of the little corner grocery store stood Bobbie, Freddie's chum, studying the wonder ful things in the window. > "Hello!" said Freddie. "Have you got a copper?" Bobble displayed two, and Freddie asked what he was going to buy." "Don't know. Come on; let's go In," ■aid Bobbie. On the counter was a box of white clay pipes with funny faces on them. Bobble's bright eyes spied them at once. "How much Is the bubble pipes?" be asked. "Just a cent," said the man behind tho counter. Bobbie bought one, and Freddie lin gered at the box. He asked, "How many would five coppers buy?" "Six." Freddie bought six. Freddie returned home, and mamma looked up from her sewing and asked, "Did ypu get It?" Six, mamma, six beautiful ones!" be cried excitedly. "Why, Freddie, yon couldn't get six for (5 cents," said his mother. "Yes, I did," said the little boy. "Juat look here!" "Why, Freddie, they're pipes, and Aunt Lou_ doesn't want pipes. Where Is the rose?" Freddie stood before her, speechless. He had forgotten the rose—forgotten all about Aunt Lou's Christmas pres ent! He wus u very little boy, but not too little to be ashamed. "Did you spend all of your coppers?" mamma ofcked gently, and Freddie nodded his head and gulped. "I don't think Aunt Lou will like pipes quite as well as a rose, do you?" mamma asked. "Never mind, dear; wrap up the pipes for her." "But Aunt Lou doesn't want pipes," Freddie said chokingly. "Didn't you b>-y them for Aunt Lou. dear?" mamma asked. "They are for *ne." said Freddie in a low voice. "And what have you got for Aunt Lou, who always gives you such a nice Christmas present?" Freddie crept very close and nkM "Will vou please give me 5 cents?" Church Bells Call You How many of us attend church on Christ mas day? And why not? Of all the days in all the year Christmas is the most appropriate for one to go to church and unite with his neighbors and friends in giving thanks and praise unto Him who died that you and I should live. Christ mas is His birthday, and above all things one should hear a short sermon and offer a prayer of. thanks for the fortunes that the past has showered on him and ask for givenessof all sins. One should go to church feeling that it is a pleasure and a privilege and not consider it a duty. It will furnish inspiration that will make one capable of better enjoying the day and at nightfall be a great deal happier. GRAHAM) N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER I "BTTBBT,® PIPES!" 8 HIS CBIED "Tbat would be. mamma's present, dear, and not yours. You saved the coppers for Aunt Lou. and If you have bought pipes with them you must give her the pipes." Christmas day Freddie gave the pipes to Aunt I.ou. Ills pnpn laughed. His mothrt* smiled, and a merry twin kle appeared In Aunt I.nu's eyes. She caught sight of a little red. mortified face with two blue eyes brimming with tears. That WHS too much L»r Aunt Lou. Not for worlds would she add to Freddie's distress. "Bubble plpea!" sht* cried Joyously. "Now. Isn't that splendid? Why. bub ble parties are all the rage now. I'll be able-to give a party myself tomor row afternoon, and you must all be sure to come." A little smile was beginning to dim pie rround Freddie's Ill's, aud he was blinking away the tear* that had gath ered. "One's broke," he said in a little, wavering voice. "Is It? Why. yes! And right close to the bowl! Isn't that fine? Why. lota of girls I know always curl their hair on plpestems and think they're far klcer than curling tongs." After Freddie had gone to bed mam ma told papa and Aunt I«ou all the story about Aunt Lou's present "You're a darling. P»P« aald as be kissed his sister. "I'm really ashamed of myself for laughing." Aunt Lou smiled. "Will you come to any bubble party?" she asked. "I'll do more than that" papa an swered; "I'll buy the prize for It" Actors on Christmas ;; There's lots of work. And there ain't no play, Bo what'a the use Of a Cbriatimia day? THAT little verse, paraphrased front oue familiar tu soldiers. Just about sums up the real Christmas sentiment existing among people connected with the the atrical business. No, that doesn't meun that the actor, the manager and t'le advance agent do not appreciate the giving and receiving of presents from their frleuds. But It does mean that people connected with the stage have come to look upon the Christmas time as a season of Bbort puy and bard work." ' It Isn't generally known, but It Is none the less true, that must actors have a clause In their contracts which calls for hulf pay the week before Christmas. Tills clause was inserted in the days when the week before Christmas really was a "tontfh" one in the theatrical business, ltut nowadays there ure many productions which pack the theaters to the doors the week before Christmas us wo!I us any other week In the year. Nevertheless some of the managers live up to that con tract and deduct the half week's pay. That is one reason why actors aren't particularly uierry at Cbristmus. There are other managers who make a practice of laying off their companies the week T>efore Christmas and some of them ten days or two weeks before, in that case there is no salary at all forthcoming. That, probably. Is another reason why the average actor cannot understand why Christmas is to occasion to be unduly Joyful. It was only last year that some of the managers came to the conclusion that stage people, like other human be ings. might like to spend some part of the Christmas holiday with their friends and relatives. Up to that year it had been the custom of all man agers to give a special matinee on Christmas day. That meant, of course, that about all the actor hud to do on this festive occasion was to rush to the theater almost as soon as be had acquired his regular amount of sleep, give an afternoon performance and then, if fortunate enough to have friends or relatives living In the city, to hurry through Ills Christmas dinner with them or leave before It was half over to go back to the theater to play the evening performance. - But a few of the managers changed that last year by omitting the Christ - mas matinee and giving It on the day following. There were other mnnngers. however. Who not only gave the Christ mas matinee, but acted on the sugges tion of their more cbailtable competi tors and gave tho matinee the day aft er too. However, this omission of the • A ram on artM ncrwuM rsaroaii MM Chrlatmaa tuntloee was confined almost exclusively to a few of the Brat clear theaters In New York city. On the road it la different. The at torn have to work Juat aa bard aa they ever did. and opposition from local managers will probably prevent the eilmtaation of the Chrlatmaa matinee outside of New York. Wltb eome companies Chrlatmaa la not the disagreeable occasion that H la wltb others. One or two owners make It a practice to Instruct the man ager with the comiainy to bare a Cbrlstmss dinner prepared at the ex pense of the Show. Sometimes a cater er Is called In. and the dinner Is served on the stage between tbe matinee and the evening performance. In that event tbe dinner nanslly proves proline of material for tbe bonse prose agent, and tbe affair la duly recorded In tbe dally papers. Sometimes It Is served on tbe stage after tbe evening performance. Other times arrangements are made ai some hotel. It waa one of these after tbe per formance affairs that came pretty near potting a traveling stock company oat of baelnesa In a town out In lows laat Chrlatmaa. This theater, by tbe way, boosts of tbe only dog eritle la exist MM, TMa W from the fact that If tba dog do—n't Uke • (bow be will ■tart to bowl, and be baa to la rt ■DOTad from tba theater before the per formance can be continued.

' Now, tlila same manager had con cluded to give hla company a dinner on the stage after the performance. In the courae of the play the dog was ' brought out and tied to the well. Everything went all right until the dog anlffed the turkey and the other good things at the aide -of the atage, and without waiting for the finish of the act he made for the food, dragging the "heavy rock walled well" behind him. This action ah the part of the dog crlUc-actor dlaturbed things generally. CHBISTMAS TlilK VOIt STAGE CIULIJUKX. for the villain had Just been arranging one of his confederates to rid himself of the hero of the play by toss tng him down the aforesaid Well. Tin villain, after the laughter subsided, ar ranged bis part of the plot by cancel lug the order to have the hero tossed down the well and Instead to have him tied to a railroad track. However, the audience refused to take the play seriously after the well dlyippeared. There Is probably more real Christ-' mas sentiment lb plays that have to carry children as a part of the produc tion than In any of the others. With these shows there Is usually a Christ inas tree between the matinee und the evening perforata we In which every one joins in and makes merry.

Share Your Fortune A MID all the happiness and joys of the ** merry Christmas season think of those less fortunate--of those on whom the sun of plenty has failed to shine during the past twelve months. Think of the heart aches that will, be theirs on Christmas morning; think of the tear-stained eyes of the little children weeping 'because Santa Claus could not call at their homes. Half of your pleasure at Christmas will be de rived from making others happy, from sharing youf good fortune and sowing seeds of kindness wherever you happen to be on Christmas day. Give something, be it ever so trifling, to the little child to whom Christmas otherwise would mean nothing. You can keep tears of sorrow from those eyes and brighten the day a hundredfold for yourself. Try it. Keep down the weeds. Whitewash the oow stables. Keep the dairy barn sanitary.

If you can't give in this spirit do not give at all. We give presents to our friends at Christmas because they are our friends and because we derive pleasure from such giving. In the giving of Christmas pres ents there should be none of that spirit which suggests commercialism. There should never be any expectation of reci procity. The giving of a Christmas present should be from the heart. The present itself counts for little. The spirit and motive which prompt the giving are all important. % deilrfcble xoit.
