COLLECTIVE JOY

CHRISTMAS ME
BY W. W. WAT.SOX
Standing humbly alono In Library
park, It was a beautiful Municipal
Christmas tree, Jtwolod with tokens
of love, brilliant with lights of joy.
Sllhouetod ngalnst a dark curtain of
cloud that xliiit out tho twinkling
sparks nf the Milky Way, It graceful
boughs reaching out toward tho
gloom beyond, it stood a gloaming
shimmering symbol nf jienco on earth,
good will toward men. At Its portal,
with folded wings, knelt Spirit, with
n mossngo of gratitude for tho purity
of tho chlld-hoart which imparted to
this happy ovent Us;sacrod moaning,
For a moment of hush without sus
pense, a sllonco that yet seomod to
whlspor lAto, tho great throng owalt
ed tho minister's prayor of iledloatlou,
The soul of tho multitude, was In
and about tho tiee. Imparting to It an
ntmosphoro of holiness nnd embody
ing It with an aura of singular beauty
and Intelligence So strong and pure
was the spiritual sentiment Investing

plica of the Star of Bethlehem sus
pended nbovo tho ipilet throng as
upturned 'faces, expressing In feat tiro
a prayer of lovo, appeared to utter
In consonance a sonno of dlvlno re
lief. The beauty of tho Inspiration and
tho joy of expressing In a communal
manner n recognition of Its cloquenco
In a silent appeal to spiritual sense
were not lost In the minds of two
thousand children present, many of
whom whispered tholr admiration ot
tho simple uonuty of tho tree. Oau
dlucfls was not there to awaken in
their minds the thought of noisy dem
onstration, as on occasions of grosser
entertainment, and yet tho solemn
Joy of tho celebration was oxprosscd
freely In happy, becoming exultation.
Tho Municipal Christmas tree, In
its Initial appearance hero, wns a
marked success. It proved to be a
concentration of tho proyors of Joy
upon tho solo object symbolized in
tho exaltation of tho Star, rather
than the divided sense of belief un
dor a limited temporal government of
solitary creeds. Tho full import of
tho sprlt-vlslon created was found
In Joyous oxpresslou ot tho purity of
childish faith, rather Uiun In vain
outburst or enthusiasm over the suc
cess of competitive dlspluy In many
pliicos, '
Tho words of tho dedication and
bonodletlou were fervently spoken;
and the songs of tho children weto
rendered with unfelgnd Joy and grati
tude. I

bonutv, amplifying our Inspirited per

Two automobile collisions ycsler-j

the auto drivers squarely up ngatnst!
the real thing In tho matter of obe
dience to tho road laws and the city
ordinances relative thereto hereafter.
Thero will bo no further lenloncy nnd
no further explanations asked for vio
lations of tlieeo laws. Arrests will
follow and heavy fines will bo Impos
ed. This statement Is made on the
authority ot Chief of 1'ollco Hlttsou
nnd Police Judge Gay.
The maximum flno for exceeding
1G miles nn hour on tho strcots of
tho city nnd eight miles whtlo passing
street Intersections Is $no. If offen
ders In futurogct tho limit, they mny
chnrgo It to 'their disinclination to
abide by tho lawful regulations ot
BiHjed on the highways.
Joe WIIboii, of Talent, last evening
ran Into the automobile of II. C. Oar
nett, on tho turn at Klversldo and
Main street, tearing up both cars con
siderably, but not seriously Injuring
their occupants.
Tho cars of Iloudlnot Connor nnd
O. Y. Myers collided last evening at
tho name corner, resulting In break
ing both machines rather seriously.
In tliis coso no ono wns sevoroly hurt.
lloth parties In each enso will bo
arrested, so tho authorities have
said, nnd tho offenders fined.
In addition to dlBobodlonco of
speed nnd road laws, many drivers
are ignoring tho regulntlous against
"cutting tho corners," leaving tho
machines tn the streets without lights
nnd many times, in tho residential
district, on the -wrong sldo of tho
streets, whero Uioy nro permitted to
stand for one or two hours.
Life on the streets Is seriously en-!
dnngored by this sort of carelessness
and It Is both tho duty nnd tho pur-1
pose of the proper authorities to pro
tect It by enforcing existing laws. I
