2w listen, little chil'run, an 111 tell

An better you remember, 'cause it

An' if you heed th' lesson, then, when
Chris'mas time is here
You'll git a lot of pleasure, an a lot

Th' Lookout Man is walkin' when th
stars begin t' peep
To see if little chil'run air in bed an'
fast asleep;
An' all who act up naughty an' don'r
mind their ma's and pa's
Th' Lookout Man is watchin' an' he'ii
tell 01' Santa Claus.
I knowed a little feller wunst who got
real bad an' said
He didn't care fr Santa Claus, an'
wouldn't go t' bed;
Said that he didn't have t' mind O,
he wus awful bad.
An' didn't care th' leastest mite bout
makin' folks feel bad.
But when it come t' Chris'mus time he
didn't git a thing
'Cause Santa Claus had heard o' him
an' not a thing he'd bring.
He knew that bad boy's record bet
ter mind your ma's an' pa's;
Th' Lookout Man is watchin', an' hell
tell 01' Santa Claus.
I also knowed a little girl who this
just awful had.
She wouldn't learn her lessons an'
she alius sot so mad
If anybody told her t' be still an' hush
her noise
"Well, she was alius wishin' f r a lot
o Chris'mus toys.
But when 'twas Chris'mus mornin to
her wonder an' surprise
An empty stockin' hangin' in th cor
ner met her eyes.
You see, she acted naughty better
mind your ma's an' pa's;
Th' Lookout Man is watchin' an' hell
tell 01' Santa Claus.
Th' Lookout Man is peepin' thro th'
winders ev'ry night,
An' countin' up th' chil'run who air al
ius tfctin' right
An goin' off t' bed at wunst when told
it's time t' go ,
An' never poutin', rot a bit, or takin
"" clothes off slow.
He puts 'em in his good book, but th
bad ones in th' bad;
An' when he writes a bad one he looks,
O, jus' awful sad.
'Cause he tmows they won't git noth-
in' better mind your ma's an'
pa's;
Th' Lookout Man is watchin' an' he'll
tell 01' Santa Claus.

Argument
The Strange Peoples gathered under
the mango trees and gave a respect
ful hearing to the Serious Stranger In
their midst.
"I have come," said the Serious
Stranger, "to bring you a message of
peace and good wi.l. I am sent to
you because my peoplo love you with
an unselfish love, and would teach you
love, kindness, peace, good will and
all the neighborly virtues. I have "
"Pardon me. sir," said a leader
among the Strange Peoples. "But we
live at peace with all the world. We
have our schools and colleges. We have
built some "churches. We have artists
and artisans. We live in np.nno noirto.
only that others treat us as we treat
them; that they treat us as they them
selves would he treated. We take care
of our helpless poor and unfortunate.
What more do you do?"
"O, we do it differently. Our way is
a way we have developed for ouf
selYes."
"But Is your way better than ours?"
"To be sure."
"Have you less of woe and misery
in your country than we have in ours?
Are your public servants all honest
and thoughtful? Is your economic
system without flaw or blemish. Are
your lawmakers responsive to the will
of the people? Have you no selfish
interests that seek to profit by unjust
exactions upon the people?"
"O, we have dishonest servants and
all that sort of thing, but we are so
unselfish that we come to you with our
message."
"Well, vre welcome you, but we
must have time to think it over. We
must study your offer in all" of its
phases. We ask for time in which to
make investigation."
"But there is no time. You must
accept our offer and listen to the mes
sage of peace and good will at once."
,cWhy are you so insistent?"
"Because we have no time to waste.
If you do not accept our message of
peace and. sood will at once it will be
the. worse for you?"
"In what way." Queried the leader
of the Straiige Peoples.
"Just this way' said the Serious
Stranger. "Ill give you just seven
minutes to accept, and at the end of
that time If you are still stiff-necked
and obdurate, I will signal a gunboat
just around that point .of land, and
also wig-wag to the regiment of sol
diers just landed on the other side of
the island. At my signal they will
shell your village and devastate your
island."
"But I thought you came with a
message of peace and good will," said
the astonished leader of the Strange
Peoples.
"That's what I have." said the Se
rious Stranger. "But I'm due to de
liver the same message at another is
land tomorrow, and you must either
accept it right now or have it injected
Into your system with ten-inch guns
and Krag-Jorgensens."
Moral: There isn't any, but a whole
lot of men have been pretending that
they understood it
Christmas
This is the glad and festal time
When boys are making lot o' fuss
Because their legs are not as big
As some old hippopotamus.
Because, you see, were they as big
Their stockings would enormous be,
And Christmas morn tliey'd hold a lot
Of jolly Yule-tide ecstasy.
BreJn Leaks
Brave men are always afraid to do
Wrong.
Determination never shakes hands
with tdoubt. t .
Some men who think they are frank
are only rude.
You can not get close to God by
drawing apart from your neighbor.
History is very often only tradition
accepted because of universal credulity.
Wouldn't you rather associate with
a man who is narrow-minded but sin
cere than to associate with a man so
Tflend minded" that he has no con,
Tictloni at all?
Our Idea of a mean man Is the ona
who would delight in telling a child
the facts about Santa Claus.
We are very apt to dub a man a
crank If he refuses to give up hu
opinions and accept our own.
You can not catch the same rat twica
in the same trapbut you can a man.
This is no compliment to the man.
The strong man avoids temptation
the weak man flirts with it to pror
that he can withstand itand fails. "
Men often achieve fame because they
care venj little about it and do not
allow thoughts of it to take up their
time.
The heroes who die for their coun
try are not entitled to any more credit
than the herces who live for their
country.
Somehow or other we always feel
chilled when a salaried choir "stands
up to sing the invitation hymn after
a good sermon.
When, we hear a church member
complaining of something the preacher
said we are moved to believe that the
preacher is doing some good.
"Every boy must sow his wild oats"
is a quotation responsible for a large
share of the sin and misery of the
world. There is no more reason why a
boy should sow wild oats than that a
girl should put in a crop of the same
grain.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few Pplo Knew Hew Ural it it la
Prcssrvhaj; Sstlth asd baanty
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the mora
you take of it the better, it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects, the mouth and throat from
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather In
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath, and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is. that ro
popfible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking or
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas In stom
and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver
is greatly benefited by the daily use
of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores and al
though in some sense a patent prepara
tion, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal-in- Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than tn any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."
