It's a good sight easier to git a fishhook in, 'n 'tis to
git it out.
If I’ve done anything I'm sorry for (in a hoss trade),
I’m willin’ to be forgi’n.

I reckon it’s a sight easier to have faith on meat an’
potatoes ’n it is on corn meal mush.
I guess tbe’s about as much human nature in some
folks as the’ is in others, if not more so.
A reasonable amount o’ fleas is good fer a dog—
keeps him from broodin’ over bein’ a dog.

Hosses don’t know but dreadful little, really. Talk
about hoss sense—wa’ll, they ain’t no such thing.

I’ve been wuss stuck two or three times by church
members in good standin’ than anybody I everdealed
with.

A thing 's hard, I reckon, because it’s harder’n some
thin’ else, or you think so. Most things go by com
parin’.
My experience is that most men’s hearts is located
ruther closter to their britches pockets than they are
to their breast pockets.

A hoss-trade ain’t like anythin’ else. A feller may
be straighten'n a string in everythin’ else, an’ never
tell the truth—that is the whole truth—about a
hoss.

“Bus’nis is bus’nis” ain’t part of the golden rule,
I allow, but the way it genally runs, fur's I’ve found
out, is, “Do unto the other fellow the way he’d like
to do unto you, an’ do it first.
Many Special Events Occupy Our Minds—A Joyous
Time for Youn? and Old- Much Time
Allowed for Festivities.
Writing up the events connected with our Christ
mas holidays each year is always a pleasurable ex
perience, but it has one drawback: It is difficult to
tell just where to begin, just the exact date on which
our yuletide observances started. With many of our
people preparations for Christmas began quite a while
back, but we think it fitting to begin with the Sun
day before, as Miss Eakin and the Y. M. and Y. W.
C. A. organizations gave pleasing programs on that
day. In the evening the choir gave the traditional
“Christmas Pageant” in the auditorium, and it was
in every way most pleasing. In this work Mrs. Tur
ney had the assistance of Miss Gunn, and Mr. Kun
kel played a lovely violin solo as an atmosphere
feature.
On Monday evening all were treated to a presenta
tion of the cantata for youngsters, “A Joke on Santa
Claus.” This work was under the direction of Miss
Judd and it was in every particular most interesting.
Since presentation much praise has been heard of this
pleasing feature of our holidays schedule.
On Christmas Eve the various dormitories about the
grounds were the scenes of “tree” parties. Pleasing
programs were given just previous to “stripping” the
trees of their gifts. Many employes attended these pro
grams and enjoyed them as much as did the students.
About thirty of the Catholic high school students
attended Midnight Mass in Salem Christmas Eve. A
Southern Pacific bus was chartered to take the students
to Salem, and return them to Chemawa after the ser
vice. The arrangements were made by Miss Roddy
and the party started from her home. All report having
had an enjoyable time.
Early carol singing by members of the choir awak
ened many people about the campus and in this way
was Christmas Day ushered in. At 5:00 in the morn
ing Father Gall said mass and gave Holy Communion
to his charges of the Catholic faith. At the conclusion
of the regular service he gave a brief, but interesting,
discourse on the inscrutable wisdom of the Creator.
At noon all assembled at the students’ large din
ing hall and enjoyed a splendid dinner.
We must
all give’Mr. Bond and those who assisted him the ut
most credit for the wonderful dinner provided the
students. The decorations, too, were lovely.
As
usual, the orchestra played during the meal and many
employes were in attendance to help if needed.
In the evening all repaired to the auditorium for
movies. A real treat awaited all, for “Simba” was
the attraction.
