MILLION LIVES
THE CHRISTMAS GUEST
By CLARENCE I1AWKES
The Blind Poet of Hadley, Massachusetts
(Written for the United Tress)
lie came and stood before the great front door,
In angry words they bade him go away.
He passed from sight, they saw his form no more.
For they were busy, as 'twas Christmas Day.
At eve he sought another door instead,
And asked the servants for a bit of bread.
Most graciously they bade him come inside.
And spread a goodly meal of bread and meat,
And as he ate appraisingly they eyed
His face and form, c"cn to bin hands and feet.
They knew not whom they entertained that night,
His voice was kind, his face was full of light.
"This is a goodly bouse," ho said, "and fair,
Yet something lacks of kindliness and joy."
"It is the very dungeon of despair,"
A servant said, "and all its gold alloy.
For love's not here, but arrogance and pride.
Where love is lost there's nothing else beside."
" 'Tis so," he said. "I know such people well,
In days of eld they called them Pharisees;
Of all their pomp and power they love to tell
I saw them oft across the seven seas.
A blessing on this house I freely give.
May they forget their gold and learn to live."
Awhile he spoke, the room was full of light,
And in each heart there came a wondrous peace.
These servants poor had fed the Lord that night.
And be had caused their doubts and fears to cease.
Thus oft He seeks in vain the palace door,
But sups in humble homes where men adore.
Christmas clay guests, Mr. and Mrs.
A. H. Jones, of Weeping Water. The
ladies are sisters. Miss Dorothy Goer

Baaaed Two Coyotes

Mrs. James Mill, recently was able to
catch two coyotes in a steel trap

in Lincoln Tuesday of last week,
where they had business matters to
look after.
Ole Olsen is opening a new stone
quarry on the land of Fred Reh
meier between Weeping Water and
Wabash, the operation of which will
give employment to a considerable
number of men.
The Wabash elevator has been re
ceiving a goodly amount of new corn.
Some of the grain has been trucked
to points further west, but there
still remained a considerable amount
to be shipped to market, and several
cars have already been loaded out.
Koses in December
A bunch of roses came through the
mail to Miss Myrtle Woods, rural
mail carrier, from Portland, Oregon.
She placed them in a bowl of water,
which refreshed them and brought
back their fragrance and beauty, they
being admired by all who came to
the store.

was rendered and there was a Christ

Road Bein? Surfaced
Crushed rock is being hauled from
the Arthur Wiles farm and spread
from the intersection two miles!
north of Elmwood west to Alvo, a
distance of five miles. Due to the
bad bridge that crosses the railroad
and the Weeping Water creek south
west of of Wabash (where the Sattler
car was wrecked a month ago) the
rock is being hauled thru Wabash,
making an increased distance of
two miles for the loaded trucks. Re
turning empty, they come that way,
but approach the bridge with ut
most care and precaution. So far,
there has been 110 further accident
at that point.
It will take sonic time to complete
the job, but when finished there will
be an all-weather road running east
out of Alvo to connect with the
gravel north of Elmwood.

WATERTOWN, Wis. (UP) This
"Goose City" has done its bit to
make Christmas merrier.
Shipments of fat geese, arriving
here from neighboring farms, have
been sent to markets throughout the
country. Prepared by a special forced
feeding method, brought to this city
by early German immigrant-, the
bird3 sometimes weigh as much n
38 or 40 pounds.
Orders were received from th
usual eastern markets, O. C. Wert
heim, one of the leading commission
men here, said. In addition, many
of the fowl will find their way to
the festive boards of Hollywood movie
stars, for west coast orders have in
creased over previous years.
The fancy fowl cost tlie consumer
about $1 a pound. The meat itself is
not eaten, for the forced feeding
makes it overly fat. The liver is the
principal product of the process. It
becomes exceptionally large and i
used in making pate de fois gras
which will grace the menus of lead
ing hotels at Christmas time.
