There is a pretty sight awaiting
to greet tho visitors to the Christ
mas tree in Arctic Brotherhood hall
tomorrow night. With the hall and
the tree gorgeously dressed, toys
and presents, sacks of candy and
popcorn bursting in plentifulness,
everything Is in readiness to show
er delights upon the children and
satisfaction upon the grown ups.
If the Arctic Brotherhood never
did other good than create hap
piness at Christmas lime, it would
deserve the name of a great organ
ization. Lodges, as well as individ
uals are measured by the amount
of good they do to others in the
world That is the only lasting
test of greatuess. Men spring up
and flourish like a green bay tree,
dazzling the community and per
haps themselves for a time with a
?elfish flourish of wealth; but a
stroke of the scythe puts them un
der the turf where they are speed
ily forgotten
It doesn't take humauity in the
aggregate long to detect the merits
or demerits of an association. Any
society founded upon selfishness Is
foredoomed to failure. Sometimes
In the Past a people's necessities
have impelled them to band together
for mutual protection, and their
organizations have flourished so
long as the necessities lasted, but
they have always disintegrated
when the cementing force was no
longer applied.
The force which seems destined
to fertilize and make prolific the
organization of Arctic Brothers, is
charity and good will toward men.
True, it has its highest manifesta
tion of goodness at Christmas time,
but the stringers from the mother
lode of kindness extend more or
leas defined throughout the year,
all of them carrying pay.
Alaska today is better and her
people happier because of the lodge
of Arctic Brothers, and in giving
much the A. B.'s have retained
much.
All of charity is not embraced in
the giving of presents or in reliev
ing material needs. The sensations
that give delight, or harrow the
soul, have lodgement in the con
sciousness. It is a thousand times
more charitable to refrain from say
ing a harsh word that might cause
unbappinesa, then to give away
millions with a sneer.
If you are Christians, now is the
time to show it. All mankind are
brothers, and the person "who call
eth his brother a fool is In danger
Ot hell fire. " Express your charity
in good thoughts, good and en
couraging words. You can't love
(tod and at the same time hold an
unkind thought against one of His
creatures. To hate another but
shows your littleness.

j CHRISTMAS EVE !
i IN POVERTY ROW ;
i ??
WAS the night before Chrlstmaa.
and all through the street
Swept the cold wintry blast and
A the fast falling sleet.
No voir* of kind greeting the grim
silence broke.
From rooftop and chimney there Issued
no smoke.
No window was red with the tire's warm
glare:
No odor of garlands was borne on the air;
No shop where the splendor and blase of
the light
8hone out on the gloom of that chill win
ter's night.
There was darkness above, there was
darkness below.
On the night before Christmas In Poverty
row
For warmth, light and comfort, alas, there
wits not
In the fhelterlese homes of that desolate
spot.
\Vh?re the storm and the wind might en
ter and roar
Through broken down window or half
fallen door!
No children who lived In that poor.
wretched place
Could you And with a bright and a sun
shiny face.
No stockings were hung there; no glad
ness or mirth
Could be found on the eve of the good
Saviour's birth.
No carols were sung In that region of woe
On the night before Christmas In Poverty
row
"jro stuck ijios wama hvno mil "
In the fancy of childhood what Image ao
bright
Aa fur trimmed St Nick, the good genius
of night.
With his broad, ruddy face akd klad. lot
In* eye.
As bright as the sunshine of midsummer's
aky;
With his jolly red cap and the btr laden
pack.
Which he merrily bears on hta broad,
sturdy back!
Can It be that St Nick has forgotten the
poor | ? ?:
Or the homes that are barren and drear
as the moor?
Has he gifts for young Croesus and none
for poor Joe
On the night before Christmas In Poverty
row?
Ah. St. NlcK, there's a spirit? the spirit ot
steep
That co; i.-s to the child who but wakens
to ?eov
WWn In l.< -11s he beholds a great tree
all bedight
And from Its flr boughs seems to some s
great light I
Then the roles of ths Waster Is heard to
decree.
"Thou shalt suffer ths children to ooine
unto me."
Ah. If we but follow his prscept I ween.
We would all be St Nicks and send well
laden team a
With presents and gifts that would banish
all woe
And make happy ths Christmas In Pov
