Waiek Valley,
Yalobusha County. Miss
Festival for the Young.
Christmas, the celebration of the
birthday of the Divine Child, is
peculiarly the children’s festival.
And while it cannot, too, but be a
time of special rejoicing among
grown-ups, we realize after all,
that it has no other cnarm to com
pare with the pleasure we take in
some kiddy’s delight over the doll
or drum or picture book that our
special Santa Claus has brought
him.
This opportunity of making
some child’s Christmas one of sur
passing joy, of which he will curry
a gracious and ennobling memory
into after life,- years it may be,
after our direct influence for good
or evil will have ceased forever—
this opportunity of giving pleasure
is one of the best that life has to
offer us. And perhaps the great
est opportunity is his who in place
of home ties, has the wide, gray
world of homeless, loveless, un
happy childhood from which to
choose the most needy recipient of
his Christinas giving. The chances
of giving happiness in this way
are so many, the means so simple,
and the deed itself so worthy, that
no one of us should let the season
pass unimproved.—Selected.
Nothing on a Mule.
“Oh, doctor, I have sent for you,
certainly; still I must confess that
I have not the slightest faith in
modern medical science.'’
“Well, said the doctor, “that
doesn’t matter in the least, You
see, a mule has no faith in the
veterinary surgeon, and yet he
cures him all the same.— Exchange.
