ered about putting-round things m

we naa aiaicuuy in learning' na
applying: this to hnman character
The, world demands mnch of . us
We may think if Is tolerant,' but
It is Imperative. ; It is a hard task
master, - and despite all alleged
philosophy to ' the contrary, only
the fittest survive. The man who
Ls weak, the man. who vaccilates.
the man who cannot say "no," is
the victim of his own credulity
and - weakness. The man who
stands up four-square and looks
the world In the face, will always
succeed If his determination forti
fies his ability. The race is to the

XOTWASTB
V Complaint - Is made that cutting
of Christmas trees is waste In that
the young stock la taken- We take
it that the evergreen tree performs
its best purpose when It is used
In Christmas exercises; In add!
tion to that there were thousands
of young trees, almost millions ot
them growing in the . fir regions
and -they need thinning out. There
is no economic loss in cutting
these trees, and certainly a fir tree
could perform no nobler, purpose
than to use to gladden the homes
of the country;- l '- " ; ; 5 . ;
Ot course there must be econ
omy ot all our forests, and ft is
dangerous to kill young things.
but we can afford to raise these
trees for the express purpose of
using them for .Christmas decor
ations. ,
FEELING POLITE
The best definition of a lady is
a woman who makes anyone feel
perfectly polite all the time. This
definition was recently given by a
school girl, but its application is
so ; general that i t does not even
need to be applied to women. We
must confess that we do not have
at polite age. : The subtle refine
ments of life are rudely jostled by
what is commonly called good fel
lowship. -.The few really polite
people are at a premium' because
they .bend, neither , forward .nor
backward. . It ls almost as bad to
be too rigid as too lax,; but the
happy medium, the -upstanding
man or' woman, has a softening
and. mellowing effect upon every
community in the country. .
A SUGGESTION
; In many places where a public
nurse Is regarded as an experiment
and not accepted as a fact, ' the
Metropolitan Insurance company
has paid half the expenses ot a
public nurse. If there Is any dis
position In Marion- county to be
little the work of a public nurse,
this big insurance company which
knows can, be relied upon to help.
If - finds it' profitable ' to employ
nurses to help Its policy holders.
XO OXE NEGLECTED
If -anyone in Salem was ne
glected Christmas, the fact has
not been made known. Never has
the Christmas spirit been so wide
spread in this city, and never have
so many people labored personally
to - see that - Christmas cheer was
carried Into every , home. Salem
does' not have slums but; It, does
have many people who appreciate
the .neighborly- kindness- that was
extended yesterday
The volume of mall this year
has broken,' all . records, which
means that the people are getting
close? te each other all the time.
A. Christmas greeting is Inexpen
sive, tut It certainly carries a' lot
of good cheer wherever It goes.

smoking lust before Christmas' to
prevent his wife giving him cigars

counting on Fred's dumb, shyness
to keep him from speech on the

after she had left Cold- Spring.
That she cared no whit for Dicky
or his future'opinion of her, Jf she
could gratify her. vanity, and her
petty grudge against me., by mak

was sure. si. knew, also, that she

PROBLEMS

: I looked squarely at her for a
tense instant, then glanced away
quickly. And though she looked
back ' at me as unwinkingly, there
was an expression which flashed
into-her eyes before she could con
trol and banish it which told me
that I had scored. . And I was ex
tremely glad of the interruption
which came just then from the inn
proprietor, Kronish, for I was con
tent to .let the silent, controversy
between us rest just where it was.

A Telephone Message.
: "The coffee will be ready very
soon," the said. "Will you drink
it when it is ready: or wait for the
others?"".;-.
i "We will wait ten minutes. I
decided swiftly. "Then if they
have not come, back you may serve
tbosewho are here." -
i f Thank you, madame," he said
quietly, and went back to his ta
bles, once more the placid, effi
cient inn host, as calm as though
aahort , time before he had not
been Involved in a drama ot life
and death.'
.-"What's the great idea?" Bess
Dean demanded, with laughing
face but eyes narrowing in a pe
culiar facial trick she has. "Any
one would think; you V were the
mysterious heroine, or famous de-tec-ative
or something equally In
teresting to watch that old fellow.
I expected to see him hit his head
three "times on - the " floor and ' to
crawl out backwards, he was bo
deferential."-
"He's a bit upset by so much
excitement," , I returned, non
committally. ; "But let's - go over
and talk to Pa Cosgrove. He looks
as if he were marooned on an is
land." . " ; -i . r:-'"-
The shrill of the telephone punc
tuated - my suggestion, which had
been made .to avoid any further
conversation ;- with. Bess Dean
alone, j And under so , tense a
strain was every one in the room
i and on the veranda ' that every
"voice ceased and every - pair . of
eyes were on Kronish as he took
down the receiver, i ) .
"Yes. This is Kronlsh's place.
No. Col. Tra vers is not here. Who?
Nobody but them. They are all
here' with Col. Travers. ' Who?
Mrs. v Graham? The lady who
drove the car? Yes, she's' here."
- He beckoned me ' to i the tele
phone," and as I walked quickly to
it I was conscious of Bess Dean's
eyes .boring, into the back of my
head, and knew that she would
have given much to have been in
my place. ' Her curiosity is over
weening, her desire to be the cen
ter of things as inordinate.

Travers must know at once. Crow

enough to say that Smith was the
man who atruck him down, I think
Crowley has a lot more to tell, but

"Gone to get I did not finish-
the sentence, for into the room
rushed Col. Travers, Dicky and

to tell" me that Smith had man

Lots of boys -take all-sorts of
care of theitoys the first couple
of days after Christmas, and then
let them go to the dickens. What
I want ' to ask you to do is this,
use a little common sense. If you
got an electric train or a mechani
cal train, don't try to take ifall
apart because you'll break it, sure
as billy goats have whiskers. '
If you have skates or a bicycle,
don't take them, apart either. They
will both need care; a little oil
now and then, cleaning, and. in
the case of the bicycle, pumping
the tires. ; -V:: 0: v:
If you got a sled, there Is one
thing you can do to It without
hurting It. ' If you want to make
it go faster and easier, take some
rery fine-emery paper and use ; it
on the under aide of the runners.
This will take the paint off and
leave a smooth surface of polished
steel. ' When the paint is off, rub
a little oil on and nib It good and
hard. Doing all -this will speed
up your sled a" whole Jot-and will
not hurt it. ;."rv(. : :V
, Whatever you received, or did
not receive as a present, act happy
over it, because the folks who sent
you things probably thought that
they, were giving you just what
you wanted and they sent a lot
of love along with the present, al
though you. can't see the love very
well on the outside, . ,
Write the folks who sent yon
presents a little note thanking
them. It doesn't take hardly any
time to do this," as the note can
be as short as you wish It to be,
but It does make, the people who
sent you the presents think:
"Well, he's a pretty fine boy. He
appreciates the thing I sent him
enough to thank me for it." As
for thanking mother and dad of
course, it's . impossible to do It
well enough, but try it Just the
same. ".'''"

The Republican party came Into
power pledged to reduction and
equalization of federal taxes. That
pledge is being faithfully -kept
The first year of this administration
the Republican Congress enacted
a federal tax law which has result
ed In" fe'llevinr f ederal taxpayers of

i A1 ""analysis i" of the. returns of In

which has the smaller income and

In all of tlie agricultural states
the reduction in Income tax under
the Republican law. has been In
excess of 50 per cent as compared
with collections under the Demo
