1 YOUR PRIDE IN THIS TOWN Your pride in this town is about the I best, kind of pride you can have. It is an unselfish pride. It is prfdc in your neighbor* and what" they have done. For they made this town— not only paid for 111- pavements and built the schoolliouscs but planted the trees and showed their faith in this pine- by making it their sonlething from a man besides pride. ' He ought to help it to grow and to improve. lie ought to do his share l»v keeping his house in re|iair. by aiding in movements for the towns good and 'j by voting good men 'into office who will 1 i b. -t ha.k after its interests. ' I Then, and not until then, will a citi- i zei, have a real right to speak of l.is! I j town with pride. It will lie a town in j :'«• making of which he liad a part, j : V -1 only will lie be proud of the town • 'lnil tli- town also will be pond of him.

HERE IS A MAN WHO NEVES CAN GO HOME FOR CHRISTMAS The American Magazine has been offering prizes for the best letters entitled "Going Home For Christmas," and the prize-winning letters are published in the December number. Following is one of them. It is from a man who for reasons explained in his j letter can never go home for Christ -j "The Black squares in the calender' of the year for me are the holidays, ' j *he days when ct-eryonc else is the j nappiest. And of all, Christmas is the 1 "I reside in a great Eastern city; all > abont me during December are Christ- 1 mas preparations: Christmas feasts. Christmas dances. Christmas parties,, succeed each other, the joyousneu of the season for my friends who live at I home. Sometimes I am invited by somexbig-hearted, whole-souled embodiment of the Christmas spirit who guesses at my lonliness. Not that I go; it would only be too vivid a reminder of 1 the old days. "But. most poignant of all. is to witness the bustle of preparation which accompanies the. real home-going of those who ari; departing for the little towns of their boyhood, where Christinas can only be really kept for tbem. ; I can picture each homecoming vividly. 1 "Friends of the past will greet him at the depot, each genuinely glad. But 1 more than these, more than brothers ' and sisters or nephews and nieces, will be his mother, her face^-jihining with _ joy. "But why rannot I go home for Christmas, yon ask* That's where the ] answer comes hard. Let's have it over ' in a word. Long ago. in a frenzied ! moment, I took a step which made me ' stand forth in my own little town, a defaulter, an embezzler, a betrayer of my trust, whatever you may 'choose to call mo. Whether I was a trusted employee. a banker, or a business man, does not matter, the best the pitying ; friends of my family could aav was the | characterization, 'A good man gone ; wrong.' Arrested, tried, convicted, I ; served my time and moved a thousand "miles away, to forget and be forgotten. "Not that I. the physical man, have f anything of which to complain. Find- ( ing employment in another line, I have succeeded in a quiet, unobtrusive fashion. — found my place in a rut as it were. I have no hardships, no t^Ie of persecution to recount. My -qfay '-^envelope. while not plethoric, is still sufli- ( cient to give me the comforts' of life. In a modest way I have made good, as any man of average intelligence and determination can. "But. even at Christmas. I can't go home. The episode is a elosed one and - vet', rightly or wrongly. I am not for- • given' or forgotten. My family, a good ^ e one. of position and standing, would s not wish to have me. Hi-en my mother. ; r loving me as I know she does, for she ( r remembers Christmas for me., would -'j r not desire my return. I am the blaek j g sheep. Did von ever read 'The Man', r Without a Country ♦' It is even worse-, r to be a man who can't go home. , "Is it any wonder tlint the Twenty- j s Fifth of IX-cemlxT is the blackest day , . in the year for one who lias seen real ■ - Christ inaaesT" j. r o : ( , WHAT ONE MAN DID ON j FOUR DOLLARS A DAY*.

"Every morning and every night all . summer long he worked, covering the , six miles to and from the city on a trusty bicycle. The frame went up.

every -day he was there, hammering 5 and sawing and boring. "He managed to buy lumber a* ha ^ needed it, asking no credit. Along ia the winter — times were dull — he wag „ 'laid off" at ihe factory, and wis planed in the trying position of having plenty of time to work on his house but nq lumber to work with. The enforced ( idleness did not last long, and with hil ' first payment he bought more timber [ a:id tackled his building again. _ * "Christie has bet® working on hia house five years.
