NOT THE EXTERN AL. It seems to be the spirit o f the times to be dissatisfied with what we have. Do we see someone with more than wo have, especially among our assoc iates. we want all that that person has, and entirely overlook others of our associates who have less and who in turn will become more dissatisfied when they see us milled to those who have more than they do. Did we wish only for the things which mean comfort for ourselves, for the things which make us better able to instruct others in a better way to live and for the things which would enable us to in some way make others happier, our wishes might be noble ones, but to have things merely for the ■ me purpose of making a display of j them is not only inelegant but is the underlying cause of the spirit o f du* -atisfuctioii and unrest. We not only 1 keep ourselves dissatisfied but we lr i ritutc those who wish to make a si in ilar display. We are led to make these remarks I by the case o f the man who has just I hou elected to the highest office within the gift of the people o f his native city, the same in which as a child he was the victim o f an accident which robbed him of his eyesight. Not having his eyesight, he probably did not note when he was not dressed as some o f his scholmates were dressed. He did not note that the furnishings of hif home won' more meager than the furnishings in the homes o f his friends. lie did not even complain that he was handicapped as none o f his mates were handicapped. lie did not com plain that his mates had more than wealth o f any magnitude could buy— the precious gift of sight. That such was the case is shown by the fact that he graduated from the grades and high school, not only with those o f his own age but with such honors that he won a university scholarship. It is most refreshing to thing that in this great democratic country it is possible for n lad without worldly goods and without eyesight to get an education equal to that available to the wealthy, and this thought in part recompenses for disgust with those whose temperaments are such that they can not absorb education if there be any lack of bodily adornment or the least clash m the appearance o f that adornment. Those who think have observed that only once in centuries i> a person re uiembered for the lavish raiment he wore, while the thousands whose names are an inspiration to greater effort are those of whom there is no reconi o f the kind o f clothes they wore, ex i Store Open Nights Until Christmas \hmhani Lincoln, whose clothes were quite iu contrast to those o f Beau Bru turne 1. It has been true for ages, it is true now. uud it ever will be true that w«• are remembered for the things we do and not for display o f wealth. The clothes which we wear now may up |H*ar hideous to those of another gen oration, but the thing* we think and the deeds we do will no» *.ut of style without regard to the number ot ages through which they may live. THE ABBREVIATED CHRISTMAS The Rainier Review takes up the cudgels against the “ Xmas” spelling o f Christmas*. In newspaper work, ot course, that kind o f an abbreviation is taboo, as it should be. Represent ing Christ with a cross, as The Review says, is unfortunate. He might have gone strouger ami called it inelegant and almost sacrilegious. The question in cur mind is whether or not the abbreviation came about in the manner The Review, uud many others with n commendable seal for improvement of our language, suggest. “ Christ’ * comes from a Greek word, the definition of which is “ the anointed. *’ The first letter of this Greek word is “ X .’ * It seems more likely to us that the nb brevintion comes down to us from a time when those who observed Christ mas were more familiar with the Greek language than are we today, and that the “ X ” never was intended to rep resent the cross. However, we are glad to join The Review in suggesting that the word be spoiled in full. If you haven't used the little Rod Cross stickers oil your Christmas mail you have not imbibed the Christmas spirit and are likely to make the recipients o f vour letters think you are either selfish or thoughtless Happy Christmas W e wish all of our friends and patrons a most enjoy able and happy Christmas and bespeak for each all that Christmas day implies É ' 1 Store Closed All Day Monday I'm the last mimiti' rush this store lias engaged extra help to itive you prompt attention in any way we may hr of service.
