I never 'hear the organ roll,
In Lohengren’s Grand March
nut I feel a new and wonderous home
Has bloomed in two lone hearts.
When this grand zero-hour has come. (

This man and gentle maid are One.*'
The query comes. Which #One?

It doesn’t require any further reminding for the lalej
Christmas shoppers that the time is mighty short to finish the.
job. They realize it all of the day and part of the night.

v If the present winter keeps up the gait it has started torj
the first week of Desember, we’ll be abld to report that we I
have had some real winter weather by the end of February. |
./ Brown wood has shipped a ear load of mistletoe to parties
in Philadelphia but we can almost imagine it being too cold
Way up there to do a great deal of Christmas kissing.
i ' -------
The prediction of a wet Christmas, we take it, is merely |
meant to mean that the weather will likely he a bit damp lor
the holiday.
Moat sections of the county now’ have enough moisture,
to complete land breaking programs, and the stirring ol the^
soil will be on in earnest immediately after the holidays.
The old farm hen that can get out and lay an egg a dayj
in changeable weather during the holiday season is worth two
of the kind that are loafing now and will lay to beat the band
When the bottom drops out of the price of eggs.
Attorney General Claude Pollard will run for Governor,!
he says, if Dan Moody doesn’t. The routing these days seems
fe bd from Attorney General to Governor and from Governor
to United States Senate, with possible slip-ups along either
froute.
She Helped Everett Do
His Christmas Shopping
pOR weeks pretty Glare Reynolds,
r the new girl of a busy insurance
office, worked directly nrWbss ihe table
from live re*, t Moore without having
drawn c-v»-u a glance from him. And
this was unusual for Glare.
llvereit seemed glued to Ihe sheet
before him, hut Glare, dr-lemoned not
to be the Ice cracker.l waited and
hoped that sornelime. somehow, some-
thing would happen to force Idfn to
look up and speak to her. She liked
thl«i good looking, earnest-working
chap In spite of Ids ill ter indifference,
uinl just had to steal a fnlile glance
at him occasionally.
It was? Christmas eve and not a
word Jra'ff'pasted between them. He
was still oblivious of her presence.
Kariy in the cftPinoon Clare put
away her things and was putting on
her wraps when some one questioned :
"Leaving; us, are you': ’
“Yes, the boss is letting me off to
finish tip my Christmas shopping.
I—”
"Shopping! Shopping!” almost
shouted Everett Moore, looking up.
startled, anti f<>r the first time, catch-
ing Glare's eye. She felt her cheeks
flame. "Say, are you going Christ-
inas buying, Miss—ah—Miss—"
“Reynolds,” she replied. ‘‘Yes. Is
there anything 1 can do for yon':”
"Well, I should say! 1 lmd forgot-
ten, really. Could J trot along with
you and get you to help me make n
couple of purchases? X .never know
what to buy for a woman.”
Glares heart was beating wildly
"Sure, i’ll help you. I rather like
spending somebody’s money.”
Out they went together. The sharp
wind whizzing around Hie corner sang
a Joyous tune to Glare. Everett held
her firmly by (be arm and deftly
guided her among the busy kale shop-
pers, aud within a very short time a
floor lamp for his mother and an atom-
izer for his shder had been decided
on and or^fred delivered at once
They then went to a tea room for re-
freshments, and there, over Ihe tea-
cups, theyjjjjbally became acquainted.
It was hard for Everett to leave her,
hut she had problems of her own to
solve and time was getting short.
Christmas morning a bunch of red
roses with a note attached from Ever-
ett was among Clare’s most highly
treasured gifts. The note read:
“From an admiring friend. Why
didn't we know each other long ago?”
And Clare also wondered why.—

hearted women with checks. Such a woman picked up a
newsboys on the streets, bought him a pair of now shoes for
four dollars and had him to throw away his old ones that were
bidly worn. She offered a check, for $24.50 in pay-

■“Oh. dear! I heg your pardon.
Have I killed you?” she cried.
‘‘Not nt all," he replied serum Ming

“But your head is cut: it's bleeding.
Come in stud let mo bandage it.” The
young man entered the room and Ma-

.“And now won't you stay and eat
Christmas dinner with me?” she
asked.
The man smiled. "I certainly will.
I was smelling your plum pudding
when you opened the door. It smelled
like those we used to have when I
was a hoy. I was hungry and was
thinking how wonderful an invitation
to dinner would be.”
"My aunt sent me the dinner. I

Otis Rogers, husband of the girl made famous by her

be aent to the electric chair rather than sentenced to the;

• penitentiary to mingle with prostitutes and criminals. Then
! he said he could take her body and bury it along with his
dreams. The young man probably did not mean it all just as:

left no stone unturned to get the verdict set aside. It made

knew that a statute had been broken that carried a severe
penalty and they probably argued among themselves that Christmas Card Custom
