A Void TiMt Memory Fails to Fill
The mcst lonesome individual in all
Christer.dcrn, man cr woman, 13 that one
whese let is cast among sirarer3 at Christ
mas time. The memories of the stranger re
vert to" happier times, to hcurs with loved
ones and friends during the most joyous
hcurs of the entire year. Oppressed by such
thoughts Merry Christmas may enshroud the
stranger like a pall.
There is not much that may be said cr dons
for the stranger who may be in Klamath Falls
this holiday season. Darker moments may be
leavened for seme by invitations to hospitable
homes of friends and acquaintances. The
American people are noted for a fine custom
of seeking those who may be without the im
mediate circle.
But for the stranger who is utterly alone no
substitute may fully bridge his memories on
Christmas Day. He may have money, but ar
tificial cheer will give him no contact with the
sheer good times he knew when among family
and friends.
The delightful pen of Washington Irving
reyeals for posterity of ,all times his enjoyment
ofHft Christmas spent away from-home. But
why, for the sake of the stranger of all times,
could not Irving have been forced to spend a
Christmas among total strangers, alone with
his thoughts. Irving might have shown strang
ers how to live in memories.
Stranger, within our gates, Klamath Falls
wishes ycu a Merry Christmas, despite circum
stances, and a Happy Prosperous New Year,
to fill the void that you, a stranger, must sense
this Christmas.

Peflccted Credit on. Publishing Field
Scarcely any of us have not contributed to
the $20,000,000 left behind by Frank A. Mun
sey, and we got much for our money.
Most of this fortune was accumulated
prior to the advent of the Sunday supplements
of newspapers, in the halcyon days of maga
zine publishing. With only a borrowed $40
Mun3ey, founded Argosy, and with Horatio
Alger, Jr., as a contributor was on his way to
success.
In later years he manipulated newspapers
in deals involving millions, as if they were
checkers, and earned the title of "dealer in
dailies."
Ulterior motives were never attributed to
Munsey. His "urgings" were what he thought
was right. His life and policies were a credit
to publishing. He did much for his country,
and could have been ambassador to any court
in Europe had he so desired.
Those who knew Munsey's originality and
whimsicality will be . disappointed if a rare
document is not disclosed indicating what he
would like to have done with his fortune.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: S hat is
a person supponetl to do when
they really love somo one hut
knows It doesn't ray them to. I
odea thought I cared, or really
loved some fellows, but 1 havo
known a fellow for five years and
I lore him now. Ho wag in
gaged to a girl but broke the en
gagement and I hare been going
with him qulto a lot since. He
says be don't want a steady Rlrl
and I would giro anything to go
with him, and to know that I'm
the only girl ho goes with. I
hare been used to going away a
great many nights of the week,
but now I don't feel ll):e going
unless It's with him, but when I
stay at home I'm always thinking
of him. When he leaves me ho
never arks for another date, but
Just waits until he happens to
see me again and then asks to
take me sonic place. Would it be
all right for me to nek him to
come some certain night the next
time I'm with him, for whenever
he knows that I'd like to go somo
, place he always seems very anx
ious to come and take me? Please
tell me If you think I should try
to change my Idea of hlin. Il
seems as though 1 could never
enjoy myself with anyone else but
him, and when I don't sec him
for a couple of days I can't help
but go around downhearted even
though I try my best to keep from
It. I don't believe I can ever
forget him even though lie would
never come to see me. It seems
foolish for me to love him tho
way I do, when I don't IMIevc he
thinks any more of me limn uny
other girl, but that's why I need
help, for I don't know how to
keep him from knowing how I
lore him, I am afraid If he knew
how It wa ho would iilrop mo
altogether, so tell me what to do
either to win him or forget him
(which Is very, rery hard.) M.
You iliould not be so sure that
he doesn't care for you to soma
extent. You say that he always
seems anxious to take you to the
places you want' to go. It may
be that s.ime ttntiord o-c-.ir-rence
to hi relations with the
youn woman t. w.toti was
once engaged, has made him re
luctant to comrr.! himself to an
other. Yon could give him en
tonraReir.cnt without letting Mm
know the extent of your nfft-c-.tions.
If h lit not responsive,
then there li nothing for ynu ti
t'o hut erase him from yotir I;;
Do not soe him again, have nt
many friends and as many good
tines as you tan. and divert your
mind from him with other Iri
tererts. .

It was midwinter when Christo
pher Columbus set sail from Ihn new
world which he had discovered, and
started on tho voyage to Bpaln. Tho
sea hud been culm and balmy on
his trip over; It was lenipostunus
and angry on his trip home. The
rnllors were terrified, believing lhat
they had offended heaven by cross
ing the Impassable ocean.
As the storm grow worse and
worse Columbus cant about for a
mouns of snvlng his records should

memorandum nn parchment paper,
placed It In a barrel, sealed It and
tossed It Into tho slormy sea. A
map sketch he fastened securely to
the poop of tils ship.
To this day there is alive a hope
of recovering these tills of original
memoranda. As lale as lnr,j 8 ro.
port was abroad that the barrel con
taining the parchment roi-ord had
been found. Hut of course Hie re
port proved false. What valuable
bits for our museums such docu
ments would be!
