A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION
Christmas is^iot too far away
to begin planning for it. Many
thousands of people are al-1
ready laying their plans for the
observance of that day of days.
There is so much about Christ
mas coming up with thoughts
of it that, if one were to write,
he could easily cover many j
pages and scarcely know it— j
and yet, the greater part of
this sweetest story would re
main untold. ;
What a happy thing it would '
be this year to find some one
you know who ordinarily will
not have a happy Christmas—
someone whose life is not all
“roses and sunshine;” some
body whose story has been
written with the pen rust of
disappointment and difficult
ies; someone who has under
gone some untoward turn of j
fate, over which he or sire has
had no control,.
Think a little and you will
see in your mind this man or
woman, or mayhap a little
child. Such are to be found on
every side. Perhaps it may be
someone whom you really “do
not like’, who comes to mind in
the moment; but do not let ‘
that fact discourange you from
doing what you might. If you
knew the inside story of that
man or woman you do not like
because of something or other; (
perhaps if you would draw a
little closer and raise the cur- j
itan of their lives, you would
stand back in amazement, and
then wonder why you had dis
liked them without knowing
just why. Perhaps—but why
go on?
Begin now to think of some
one to make happy this Christ
mas—somebody who in all
probability may be overlooked
in the glad rush of Christmas
festivities. It may even be that
this someone is not poor, but
well-to-do financially; it does
not matter, whether rich or
poor, make it a point to remem-'
ber some one more unfortunate i
than yourself.
SUPERSTITION
f
Many things thought com
monplace and customary seem
unusual and strange if by ]
chance they get into print. A
case in point is the recent re
fusal of a Philadelphia woman !
to transact business on the 13th j
day of the month and the re
sultant vital delay in recording
a deed, which action caused a
great many difficulties to oth
ers. Another case recently ap-\
pearing in the press concerned
the reluctance of a man to in
vest his money under an “un-!
propitious” sign of the zodiac.
There are thousands of peo
ple, both urban and rural, who
‘swear” by the almanac and
believe the number thirteen is
‘unlucky,” and yet to most
people it appears unbelievable
.vhen presented in newspaper
type. Many who deny being
superstitious also deny that j
•uperstition has anything to do :
with ‘‘believing in signs’ or in
planting the garden and trans
acting business by the signs of i
the zodiac. They place no crcd-!
ence in the supernatural, but i
never “make garden” without |
first consulting the almanac, j
To what proportion of the nat
ion’s population this applies is
impossible of estimation, but it
is plainly evident it is no small
minority.
After all, the end and not the
means is the thing to consider.
If all business transacted on
every other day of the month
fhan the thirteenth were suc
jessful it would be folly to do
business on the “unlucky thir
teenth,” and if the gardeners
i la zodiac always raise bump
er crops there is no reason why
hey should adopt some other
method.

DRESSING TO PLEASE
A few days ago much space
was given in the Outside journ
als to the claim that styles and
cuts in feminine rainment are
largely controlled by men.
Now it appears that, to a large
extent, women select and buy
men’s attire for store trade.
That make s it about 60-50 and
why not an admii'able arrange
ment?
As a rule, the object of fastid
ious feminine dressers is at
least to pass muster with the
male element at reviewing
stations, and with the mascu
line peacocks it is the feminine
observer whose praise is
sought. The matter standing
thus, it is a logical arrange
ment for women to wear
clothes that men have designed
and for men to deck them
selves in rainment that women
have selected.
Just for Fun
About the most expensive
thing on earth is money.
A man does not reap what he
sows unless he works the crop.
The hardest thing about loaf
ing is buying things on credit.

Who remembers when the
age of discretion was the par
entage?
Men worry a lot about their
hair—mostly after its half
gone.
Pete Wilson says that some
times a man gets so mad that
he quits being a hypocrite for
a few minutes.
The chap who pushed a pea
nut up Pike’s Peak with his
nose was foolish, but he sure
learned something about con
centration.
Teacher: “What were the dif- {
ferent ages in history?”
Willie: “The stone age, the
bronze age, the iron age—”
Teacher: “What age are we
living in now?”
Willie: “The hard-boiled!
age.”
A certain > small restaurant
keeper prided himself on his
cooking. He was amazed one j
day to hear a young salesman
criticize a pie ,one day.
“Pie,” he came back, Young
feller, I made pies before you
were born.”
“O. K.,” replied the salesman,
“But why seil them now?”
Songs for all Occasions
While walking the floor with j
baby: “All through the Night.” j
While peeling onions: “Why;
Should I Cry Over You?”
While sampling wifie’s bis-!
cuits: “Rock of Ages.”
When trying to tune in the
radio: “Silent Night.”
When "touching” a friend:
“Then You’ll Remember Me.”
Wihle looking into the gas
tank with a lighted match:
“When I Am Gone You’ll Soon
Forget.”
BIG TALKER,LITTLE DOER
“Well, boys,” said Uncle Tom,
“how are you getting along in
school?”
“I’m first in arithmatic.” re
plied Jackie.
I’m first in spelling.” said
Bobby.
“Fine! Now what are you
first in, Tommy?”
Pm first on the street when
its tinie to go home.”
ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspaper*
Of the Territory.
E. A. McHamilton, for many •
years a resident of Treadwell,
died recently in Seattle, where \
he had gone for a minor oper-:
ation.
The herd of buffalo turned;
loose last year near the Rich
ardson Highway, is still mak
ing its habitat in that section
and was seen recently in the
vicinity of Jarvis Creek. The
animals all-appeared sleek and
fat and a calf born last spring
is growing rapidly.
After 46 years of service in
the Coast Guard, Capt. C. S.
Cochran, who has been in com
mand of the Bering Sea patrol,
with headquarters at Dutch
Harbor, retired from the serv
ice October 28. Capt. Cochran
was for many years in com
mand of the famous old cutter
Bear.
The town of Solomon, on Ber
ing Sea, recently experienced
its worst storm since the great
hurricane of 1913, during
which the beach was swept
clean of all but a few buildings
and oil tanks, barges, boats
and lumber were strewn far
and wide over the tundra.
! Many families are said to have
left for the hills back of town,
fearing for their lives.
j Liquor violations are growing
precarious over in Ketchikan.
Judge Harding in the district
court recently sentenced three
national liquor law violators to
serve an aggregate of five
years and one month in jail,
in addition to paying $1,600 in
fines. Carl Hauptman was giv
en two years and four months
in the federal penitentiary at
McNeil’s Island, with a fine of
$1,000; Clint Griffith drew j
two years and four months and j
a $500 fine; and R. H. John-1
son was sentenced to serve 15 !

HYDER M. E. CHURCH
( By Rev. H. R. Cross, pastor)
“Through a dusty window
The whole world looks dull
and ugly.
Keep the windows of your soul
clean, and
Life will look wide and clear
before you.”
“Think smiles, and smiles shall j
be;
Think doubts, and hope will
flee.
Think love, and love will grow; |
Think hate, and hate you’ll
know. Think good and good is j
here!
Think vice, its jaws appear!
Think faith, and faith’s at J
hand:
Think ill, it stalks the land.
Think fear, with a brooding
mind,
And failure’s close behind.
Think this: ‘I’m going to win!.
Then you are a winning man! 1
Somehow these verses outline
the whole of next Sunday’s
program. For the Sunday
School hour at 10:30 the stor
ies and Bible lesson will cen
ter on the building of a strong
body All boys and girls and
others who are interested are
invited and welcome. 7:30
Evening Service. An extremely
interesting topic, “The Mon
arch of Thinking.” These vers
es suggest thoughts, but they
are not dealing with one which
has to do with the every day
life of the people of Hyder.
Things in the town suggest the
monarch of thinking. An edit
orial in the local paper last
week gives us an illustration of
the way we think. Let us see
how our thinking may be clar
ified and made more vital.
