WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS
THURSDAY, DEC. 81, IBM
WE WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW
YEAR
Old Father Time has moved things
on a stride. 1914 wiU soon be his-
tory and again we are facing the
dawn of a new year with iu possi-
bilities and ite restrictions. The year
1914 has been a happy one for many
and a sorrowful one for others. It
has found bright homes in our land
and ruined ones in the war ridden
countries of Europe; it has found
brightness in the hearts of some and
despair and bitterness in the hearts
of others; it has been a year of mo-
mentous happenings, happenings that
have shaken the foundations of the
whole civilized world and have caused
us to wonder whether or not there
really is reason in the minds and
hearts of sane men.
The year 1914 is long to be remem-
bered as having been one, at the close
of which, the United States was found
at peace with the world while foreign
powers were engaged in bloody strife.
Possibly at this time, we do not
fully appreciate how extremely for-
tunate we are, that we are not en-
gaged in the bitter warfare of Europe
which is fast rendering that part of
the world into wreck and ruin but in
the years to come and when our chil-
dren and our children's children look
back upon the momentous year of
1914, they will more fully realize
what the land of the free and the
home of the brave has escaped. Be
that as it may, a year has rolled by
and the beginning of another is at
hand and finds America ready to
grasp the possibilities that it holds in
store for us.
With the coming of the new year
let each and every one of us make a
mental resolve to give to the world
the best that we have in us. Let us
try to outdo the record that we have
made in the past year; to rectify the
mistakes we have made; to have our
lives written neatly in the book of
life on the clean pages of the next
365 days which comprise 1915. Let
us resolve to try to make the new
year a happy one, not only for our-
selves, but f°r some unfortunate who
is not so well situated as we may
nflnnan + , i.x
For the first time in years, Clare
more saw u white Christmas Eve und
I)ay this year. AH day Wednesday
the sleet fell steadily and Wednesday
evening it changed to snow which
covered the ground and we were prac-
tically assured of u white Christmas.
Christmas day dawned bright and
clear with the ground covered with
snow and the weather just cool enough
to keep the snow from melting*
It will be unnecessary to relate that
we all had a good time and a visit
from Santa Claus. The poor of the
city were amply fed by the different
charity organizations of the town,
notable among which was the local'
Elks' lodge which fed some 75
hungry and needy of our city and
would have fed more had they have
heard of the case. On the whole the
Christmas this year was one of the
happiest and brightest that Claremore
has ever seen and we do not doubt
but that each and every person saw
with regret the day close and the city
again wrapped by friendly darkness
which announced the close of the day
of feasting, peace and good will and
worship of 1914.
Christmas has gone and the new
year will soon be here and let us be
ready to greet the new year with re-
freshed spirits and a determination to
do our best and to make as many peo-
ple happy as we can in the year that
is swiftly coming and to lay behind us
the sorrows and worries of the year
that is gone.

MISS JOHNSTON ENTERTAINS
Miss Ouita Johnston entertained
few of her friends at a seven o'clock
dinner at the home of her parents or
Sixth street, Tuesday evening. Fol-
lowing the dinner a line party was
formed and the Electric and Lyric
theatres were enjoyed, following
which the party again adjourned to
the Johnston residence and dancing
was indulged in until a late hour.
Those present were: Misses Mary
Scott, Minnie Zinn, Ola Stephens and
Dane Hutchins and Messrs. Gwynne
Jennings, Kenneth Moore, Carl Chal
fant and Harry Kates. A very pleas-
ant time was reported and Miss
Johnston proved herself to be an ex-
cellent hostess.

If each and every one of us in the
year 1915 did just one kind deed each

all just one big family; our interests
are practically all the same. We
are all striving toward the same goal
to live and live happily and it is only
by the exercise of the little kind deeds
and words toward each other that the
ultimate possibilities of this goal can
be reached, that the sublimest de-

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP

tho kind mothers of the neighborhood
had brought for the occasion. To say
there was a bountiful supply for all
and some to spare would bc speaking
lightly of the affair, for the writer
was present^ with u box of pies,
cakes, turkey, pickles, and in fact
many other things good to eat,
which we enjoyed in our home at sup-
per with wife nnd babies.
After we hud enjoyed the dinner the
writer was invited to preach at the
hour of 2:;i0. After doing our duty

song, "Pass Mo Not, Oh, Gentle Sa-

May we long cherish in our hearts
the welcome we received at the hands
of these good people.

Reciprocity.
With a feeling ol sadaeas for the re-
cipient, Dorothy finally concluded to
pen a missive to her former hancee.
"Dear Harold." it read. "No doubt
you are aw^re that I am to marry
Mr. Anthony the coming month. 1
shall, therefore, appreciate It very-
much If you will burn all tho little
note. I sent you, assuring you of re-
ciproclty in regard to thoee you sent
me- Dorothy Bell."
Immediately upon receipt of above
the young man made this reply:
"Dear Dorothy: I shall certainly com-
ply with your request, and at once.
And, incidentally, as your new fiance
also holds a few notes of mine, I .hall
count it a great favor should you be
able to Induce him to burn them with
the rest. Harold Sawyer."
Long Unconquerable.
The ancient Berbers who still live
in the mountain territory of Kabyha
were never conquered by Roman.
Goth, Vandal, Arab or Turk. Tl*ey made
their first obeisance before the fire,
arm. of the French under the second
empire. Through all these millenniums
they have lived in their populous viW
lages perched high on the tops of
steep hills. Arouud them in all di-
rections is a zone of trees, with pas-
ture above, beginning at about three
thousand feet, and the oft-conquered
open valleys below. Here for unknown
ages the Berber has lived among and
from his trees. There are four sta-
ples of life in Kabylia—dried figs,
olives, bread and meat. For miles
there is one unending succession of
villages set iu this open forest of figs
and olives.
She Took Exceptions.
A woman was excluded from a
church In England because she sang
like a frog and spoke the responses
in what .he called the "Proteatant
voice." An English paper recalls in
connection with the incident the
story of Elizabeth Pry. the Quakeress,
who was once "testifying," as Quakers
allow women to do, until she came
to the lines in 1 Corinthians where the
apostle says. "Let your women keep
I silence in the churches." She closed
the book and said In a firm, clear
voice. On this point 8t Paul and I

Then light a Ore on the top of it, anc

One of the greatest difficulties It

telltale acents, so keen Is their sens#

and it Is best to smoke ^he trap over a

It may be asked In all serlousnest
how much longer tbs superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unscl
entifio and unprovable claim has long
held a place in the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach
