Christ tuns lias passed, mid the usual scene of bustle and worry In the shops and drug store is at an end. In every village and hamlet in the land from the snow-bound mining camp to the loggers' settlement in Michigan or the cross roads general store it) the Louis-ana sugar district, there has been the same bustle and worry in the selection of holiday gifts, l'or weeks the industrious feminine, both old and young, have been spending hours In Rolitude conjuring with their fair hands some mysterious article for the delight of the masculine heart on Christmas morning, The great American public bows down before the universal custom of exchanging gifts on this sacred holiday. Sometimes a retiective-minded person stops to consider this custom. He begins by a mathematical computation of the enormous sums of money annually expended in these gifts, the bulk of which, measured upon a commercial or utilitarian standard, are practically worthless. Then he reasons that were this sum expended in the relief of the distressed, in gifts of charity to the unfortunate, how much better the world would be.

Another ill ponder upon the sacred meaning of the day and of the great result to mankind caused by the birth of the meek and lowly Jesus. The life of the man, righteous in all 1 1 is ways, His teachings, creating a new dispensation, 1 1 is death, a martyr to the truths I lo propounded to a world who knew Him not, mark an era in the history of mankind upon this earth. And then, contrasting this sacred theme with the present day observance of Christmas, the conclusion sought to be drawn is that all this lavish ostentatious display Roll of honor VnpiU wither ul)eiit, tardy, truant or corporally jmni.il.al. over Mm l'liilipiiiiiiK it in alwas cabled grunt victory, but tlm Philippines are tlio victors it in always a llu(ly lliatiSacre.

Bays a London dispatch: "English economists express the opinion thai the war situation is likely to revive Eryauism in the United States mid si lengthen his chances for Mm presidency next year." This no doubt is line. a pretty candid admission coining from tlio very citadel of the Cold Trust. There was anything hut Merry Ohrisi.nias in many an English and Iioer lioinu, and the English will not, be made happier when the responsibility of their government for un unjust war is considered. The above has application also, to conditions in the United Stales and this Philippines only in lesser degree perhaps as to avoid-ability. While we have pcen in business here only a short time our prospects grow brighter every nay.

Our business has increased woudcrlully in the past month, and our siibscrption list Is growing rapidly. For our succss so far we thank you all and will always be found trying to merit your continued favors, Hiid ish yon all a happy and prosperous New Year.

Whenever we can make an hour of happiness we thereby benellt the whole of mankind. Hut Christinas joys do not end with the day. They live to revive anew the faitli in mankind without which life becomes hopeless and dreary. The very fact that in mature yearB we continue our observance of the day as wo knew them in childhood, demonstrate the all-providing power of the day. So let us take down our "Christmas Carols" and read again the story of "Tiny When we have done this we are then in a proper mood to Join him in the earnest toast of Christmas-tide.

Webster defines the word "Century" in the most common signilicntinn as "a period of one hundred years." llegiu-ning with the llrst day of the year 1, It was necessary that a full one hundred years elapse before the second century could begin, therefore, according to pur present method of computing time, immediately after li o'clock, midnight, December III. we enter upon the twentieth century. If ucshould begin 1 1 to twentieth century Willi January 1, there will have been but years elapsed between the close of the eighteenth century and the begiuliig of the twentieth.
