Its only four weeks until Christmas' and its really time to be thinking seriously about your shopping if }ou propose to do it in the easiest add best manner without waiting until -that last big rush. Filling station attendants should look with suspicion on well dressed strangers who get too friendly. During the past week several robberies have been reported over the state in which the bandit appears as a tourist and after a nice chat pulls a big gun and cleans up the station. •Seventeen republican Called States • senators who call themselves progn salves have announced they w ill oppose the seating of Vare, of Pennsylvania. and Smith, of Illinois. Oh, we thought they had these little difficulties all patched up. Qaeen Marie, of iioumania, is 110 doubt very capable and wonderful woman, but is hard to understand; how she can attend the banquets, I smile with every one and apparently! njoy herself if her husband. King Ferdinand is at the point of death as ic reported. La’er we may all under-1 stand it. ■ Now we shall soon know whether Doheny and Fall hail any thing to do with the alleged conspiracy to defraud the government, that is we 'shall know it legally. During the past four years we have heard on various ’o -casioas they had been suspicioned but of course until the jury determines the matter, that’s all stricken out. Peaches" Browning is getting S3OO a week with which to pay her "board and keep” while the divorce suit with h r "nut" of a husband is hanging Cre. The case is th be tried in Janu„ry and in the meantime the court has ordered the old man to pay the sum mentioned to his girl wife.

' we know they had less to be thankful for. They had found a Haven ot rest where they could worship as they pleased and they were happy. We still have that privilege and many others and we are the most prosperous nation in the world. Lets give thanks and lets mean it'.

Some Ijy ill-temper blast their own careers; One minute's folly saddens many years. Few, being tempted, pause to count, the cowt Vntil the cold, gray dawn, when all is lost. , Oh. son of mine, think this from day to day: What for this pleasure must I give away? Shall I be selfish and be scorned by all? Shall I let folly drive me to the wall? Or shall 1 pause, ere anything I do. To think its consequences through and through? Know this, my boy, when tempted by a vice. Not one of them is ever worth its price.
