The optimist sees the doughnut: the pessimist sees the hole in it. Which are you? The Christmas tree at the Baptist church Tuesday night was an event of the holidays much enjoyed by the little folk of the town. It will be a relief to many when the holidays are over, so trying to nerves and nights' rest is the continuous echo of high explosives. The night before Christmas was anything but "as still as a mouse" in Kingstree. The shooting and the yelling were kept up till the mid night hour. The alleged long distance telephone has moved its local office from the Kellahan to the Nettles Hotel. It's as hard to hear over as ever, it may be observed. A full attendance of the membership of the Presbyterian church at next Sunday morning's service is especially requested. Matters of importance will be presented. The editor returns thanks to all the friends who remembered him and his family at Christmas-time. These kindly remembrances do much to cheer the weary way-farer in his pilgrimage along the rugged pathway of life. This is our Christmas week with the paper. We gave our force holiday Monday and, while the paper has to be issued to complete our files, we are making no strenuous effort to fill it with nows, and we couldn't get the type set, anyway, if we worked up the usual amount of news.

"The Divine Plan ef the Ages." Every One Should Read It. Atluuta Constitution says?"This wonderful book makes uo assert ioni that are not well sustain^ by the Scriptures. It is built up stone bjr stone. and upon every stone Is the text, and It becomes a pyramid of God's love, and mercy, and wisdom.

"Bill Arp" says?"It is impossible to I read this book without loving the writer and pondering his wonderful | solution of the great mysteries that i j have troubled us all our lives.

A f?nap of miflouotation that has become chronic is revealed by a passage in Habakkulc. The passage really reads, "Write the vision and make it plain that he may run that readeth it." The vision was a warning and the reader was to run from danger, but Cooper misquoted it bv saying, "He that runs may read." signifying that it was easily read in haste, and this version has survived. Another instance of rewriting a quotation into something of entirely divergent meaning is afforded by the passage from Butler's "Hudibras," which really is. "He that complies against his -.rill is of the same opinion sti!!." "*iany a writer has misquoted that into "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still," as if a man that was convinced could possibly be of the same opinion as previously. Th? Lowest T?mp#raturr It is a curious fact that the lowest atmospheric temperature ever recorded by the thermometer was at j a ynint almost directly over the: equator. A balloon equipped with | a self registering instrument was sent up from the shore of Victoria Xyanza, in central Africa, and it rose to a height of twelve miles. The temperature at that height was nearly 119 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. It is possible that even greater cold might lie found twelve miles above the pole, but the weight of scientific opinion is that the upper air over the torrid zone is generally colder than over the arctic regions. Tracing a Resemblance. "Yes," the old farmer was saying, "in some ways a pig is a good deal like a human critter. You may never have heard it before, but a pig sometimes suffers from rheumatiz. same as if he was a man." "But how can you tell when a pig has rheumatism ?" asked the visitor. "Oh. he does a lot of gruntin' over it. same as a man does."?Chicago Tribune. The End of Romance. She?I haven't seen you for years, fully iive years, Mr. Grey.

What Has tha Telephone Wrought? The elderly stranger, by invitation of the superintendent, was addressing the Sunday school. "How many can tell me," he asked, "which is the longest chapter in the Bible?" Many hands went up. "This litile boy may arswer," lie said, pointing his linger at an urchin in one of the seats near the front. "Which is the longest chapter in the Bible?" "Psalm double one nine!" shouted Tom in v Tucker.?Chicago Trib une. Simplified Spelling. A lady asked her charwoman one day why she had taken her little girl from a certain school.
