[NOTE—The Courier Junior is ready
to take care of the stockings whenever
the donors desire to bring them in. It
Is hoped that a great many will be in
by this evening. However, the
donors are privileged to suit their own
convenience.]
The Courier Junior was the first
Christmas club in Iowa, or any of the
nearby states and was planned right
here in this office, December, 1906. Its
purpose is to make little children very*
happy at Christmas time. Then again
If we wish to give presents at Christ
mas time and do not want our friends
to know from whom the wifts come,
Santa Claus will deliver them for us if
we ask him. You all know that Santa
Claus does not always give useful pre
sents such as stockings, mittens, so
the members of the Christmas Stock
ing club can supply these needs. All
one has to do to become a member of
the club is to give a nice pair of well
filled stockings.
HERE IS THE WAY TO FILL A
STOCKING:
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also a toy, an orange, a pair
of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many of the Juniors fill both
stockings. On the card with the donor
name put the age of th© child fot whom
the stockings are intended.
We will publish the names of the
members of the club every day until
Christmas. Juniors and grownups liv
ing at distance can send a pair of
stockings also a sum of money suffi
cient to buy the candy, toys and mit
tens.
We are so glad to have the grown
ups interested in the olub. These gifts
may seem small but they bring untold
pleasure to many needy little children.
The stockings will be left just as the
donors bring them in, and will be dls
..trlbuted Christmas eve direct from
this office, among little children whose
parents are unable to provide any
Christmas cheer and to little ones be
reft of their parents.
The club membership up to 10 a. m.
follows:

BUCKET FALLING
MASHES MAN'S FOOT
William Test, living at 1018 Hayne
street, was severely injured about the
left foot Friday night at the gas works
on Vine street where he is employed.
Mr. Test was engaged in hauling a
heavy bucket of material above him
by the use of a pulley and when it was
a short distance from the top of the
lift, fell, striking him on the foot. The
member was severely mashed, some
of the toes being broken. The man

kaiser and a private soldier, which It

"It was at H., a little town in the
northeastern part of France," writes
Abter, "where our troops hr.d fought
a terrible battle against the enemies.
Twilight approached, and with it came
a rumor that the kaiser himself was
coming.
"Then the rumor became a certain

kaiser raised his hand to his helmet
and saluted. 'Good day, soldiers!"
'Good day, comrades!' 'Good day,
