Santa Claus certainly was good to us as will be attested by the long list of names here appended; averyone of whom either called personally or wrote most pleasant letters during the Christmas week. While it is a great pleasure to receive money—and everyone knows we need it—yet there are other things that bring joy to the heart of the editorial toller and the greatest of them is a word of appreciation of the work that keeps us everlastingly at it. A kind word costs so little and makes life so much more worth the while that the wonder is that everyone doesn't scatier them more freely. We are grateful indeed for these favors and trust that we will be able to merit just as many and more of them during 1906. Harry E. Johnston, Pittsburg; N.
