THE MORNING AFTER.
"There is no time fur mirth or
laughter ill the cold-gray dawn of the
morning after."
The above is nut original but it will
be appreciated by those of us who
have become so inoculated with the
Chi islm.-ts spirit that ve have blot
ted of the word "extravagance"
from our shopping "dou'ts."
Some men will spend money "like
a drunken .sailor" when the Christuu.s
spiiil gets into their system and the
same men oftentimes pose as a mar
tyr for the remainder of the year,
when in reality they arc just plain,
ordinary fool:;.
A philospher once said, "Learn to
he just before you are generous." lie
meant justice to yourself as well as
lo ll.e other fellow. It is poor sense
of justice which gives the child .1 five
dollar hill in December and denies
the same child a penny in May. It
is a queer rule of horse sense which
impels a man lo .spend more than he.

Across the English Channel where
the Gauls and the Franks and the
Northmen observed the stein rites of
the severe religion of a strong-hearted
race, trees formed an important
part in the festal observances of the
feast days. The pine tree ever in all
ages an object of deserved admiration
was greatly revered by the North
cm bilk. At the time of the mid-
Win ter celebration the North men
hung gifts upon the tree for their
gods. As is readily seen, when the
early fathers of the church came to
tliis fierce people with their mosaic
of peace, il was eay to change the
idea of gifts proffered to heat hen
licit ies into t he custom where offer
ings were made to the Christian liod.
Thus from such humble beginning!
began the cherished customs which

Hanging up the stockings uti

is of pui ely Christian origin and

years ago. It has become one of the
most cherished of the Christmas cus

SCHOOL AT PEORIA
IE
Ninth Grade Is te Be Atfdid
and Another Teacher Hat
Been Retained.
MATTER OF ESTABLISHMENT
OF BNION CCHOOL FAVORED
1300 Has Bean Rais4 for the
Erectita f Cymnaiium;
Rtusinf Kitting Hld.
Peoria, Or., Dec. 26. (Special to
Democrat.) Resulting in the addition
of the ninth grade to the course of
study and the retaining of teachers
for the Peoria school, one of the most
rousing school meetings in Peoria's
history was held here this week, when
it became known that $300 had been
subscribed for the erection of a gym
nasium, which the carpenters of the
town will erect gratis. This matter
of forming a union high school was
regarded with favor.
Rooms are to be fitted up for the
sixth, seventh, 1 eighth, a(iid ninth
grades and school will start again on,
January 5. The people of the comJ
munity have worked as a unit for thi
upbuilding of the town and never has
such spirit been shown. Much credt
is due Mrs. Anna Studley, principal
of the school, for her work in helpiig
to secure the subscription for tie
gym and assisting in various othtr
ways. She subscribed $50 to the funi.
The sum was raised in two weels
through the liberal donations of tie
patrons.
Supervisor P. E. Baker delivered an
address on the subject "From the
Reaping Hook to the Combine; From
the Stage Coach to the Flying Ma
chine; From the Pine Knot to the
Arc Light, and From the Log School
House to the Union High School."
Prof, Baker showed the transition
step by step in a clear logical manner.
He will repeat the lecture at the
Greenback school house at 1:30 p. m.
and at the Harmony school house at
7:30 p. m. next Tuesday, Dec. 30. The
patrons of those districts should turn
out in full force and boost the cause
along. Prof. Baker will have with
himc some able speakers who will
speak along educational lines.
After the business of the meeting
had been disposed of, the feasibility
of forming a union high school was
discussed. Prof. Baker showed by
figures that the union school could
be affected and carried on with but
little cost to the taxpayers. Those
outside of Peoria would get off with
less than 33 cents on the thousand,
and those in Peoria with about 99
cents per thousand, and pay for a
$6,000 building in twenty years. The
board, consisting of A. M. Taylor,
Gihhs and Howell are among the
chief promoters of the union.
During the past two weeks the prin
cipal of the school, Mrs. Anna Stand
ley, and a number of enthusiastic fol
lowers, have raised by subscription,
over $300 for the erection of a gym
nasium. The carpenters of the viciti
i'v have volunteered to build it gratis.
The building is to be 36 by SO feet and
is to be fitted for basketball, etc, and
may be used for r.ny clean sport.
