Welcome Santa Claus.
Do you remember, in those days
‘‘way back when —” how you used to
pencil your little notes to Sahta Claus,
asking him for this, that and the other
thing and assuring him that y ou
were a “real good boy” an^l loved your
father and mother?
Santa Claus is fast approaching
as a kid you should welcome him
aos a kid, you should welcome him,
now. Remember that Santa Claus is
a symbol of generosity, loving-kind
ness and virtue. At this time, with
his advent so near, check up on your
self. Have all your actions been
worthy? Kind? Intelligent? Have
you progressed .or fallen behind in
your work an^d in your spiritual
growth ? .
Correct your faults, resolve to live
to the highest in you, and when Santa
Claus comes you will be able to wel
come him properly, knowing that you
have lived in such a manner as to
merit the benefits' that he showers
upon you.
In this way you will receive, in ad
dition to the love and respect of your
friends and neighbors, a feeling of
aelf-respect that, once acquired, will
dignify and ennoble your entire life,
putting it on a higher plane and
bringing it nearer to the Divine.
Welcome Santa Claus!
Folly?
How Time changes the aspect of
things!
Alaska has been a part of the
United States for 61 years. On
March 30. 1867, this territory was
purchased from Russia. The average
citizen of the United States knows
little enough about Alaska. It might
not be amiss to mention several facts.
Alaska ia so vast that it would
cover 23 States and the Western third
of Lake Superior if it could be picked
up bodily and placed all over the
United States proper.
Its fisheries return an annual
amount of over $40,000,000, and it has
other vast industries. Since its pur
chase. its exports have amounted to
considerably more than $1,250,000,-
000.
The purchase of Alaska cost Am
erica $7,200,000. Time has shown it
to have been a very good purchase.
Yet in 1867 it was considered foolish,
and the transaction was called “Se
ward’s Folly,” because the Secretary
of State, W. H .Seward, advocated it.
Leaping Lena.
Mark Twain wrote “The Jumping
Frog of Calavaras County” and
started something in California. Ever
since then frog-jumping contests have
been the or,der of the day in the State,
and out of all the entries in the various
contests one frog emerged as a re-
makable champion— Leaping Lena,
owned by Mrs. Cravens, who broke all
existing records for frog leaping by a
jump of 8 feet 3 inches.
. Alas! Leaping Lena is no more.
She has made her last leap—into eter
nity. And immediately upon her de
mise, search began for a successor.
When the next contest was held the
entries included Valencia, El Parasito,
Woozy, Dusty, Sandy and Bunko.
The frogs were lined up and photo
graphed. Valenica won by jumping a
gkaltry three feet. The victory created
ho enthusiasm. Valencia, though the
winner, wag not dubbed “champion.”
Nobody could forget that Leaping
Lena had beaten Valencia by over five
feet.
And so there’s no champion! It
aeems as though it will take some
time before another Leaping Lena is
discovered.
What this country needs, it appears,
is a good jumping frog!
A certain preacher is said to have
remarked on one occasion that “Barn
well ia the back-door to Hell/' Per-
hia very diaparaging remark w/a
to the fact that both places are
with good intentions.
