j HER POINT OF VIEW
HE SPIlllT of Christmas ceitainly
pervades the air, even if the snows
of other yeats no mine bless the
seasons with their .soft benediction.
You feel it in the smiles which fall
upon you unintentionally: In the kind
glances and the forbearance of the
good-uulured ciowds. The tramp rec
ognizes it when lie comes to your
kitchen door these ftosty mornings and
leceives, instead of hnish words, a
bountiful breakfast. "I couldn't turn
any man away hungry at Chilsttnas
t.ime," piously rcmniks the kltehfii
divinity, and therefore the trump step-i
in under the cover of the Christmas
spirit. The children play together moiv
amiably and an- preu-r naturally good.
Stern people unbend and frivolous ones
take on a look of gentle earnestness In
their desho to make some other body
happy. It Is a blessed thing, this
Chiistmas of ours, even If it does drive
us nearly wild with wnriles and haste
to crowd three weeks' work and seal eh
into one.
People do kind acts now just from
the picvaience of the Christmas s;iiilt.
The other day the passengers In a
street car saw a man smile cheerfully
when a solid young woman who was
also standing in the aisle luiched heav
ily upon Ids toes. Any other time of
the year he would have fi owned at her
savagely. They saw an old woman
enter the crowded aisle and the prompt
action of a shabby little maid, who in
stantly arose and with fine grace and
courtesy exclaimed eagerly to the
stranger: "Oh, take my seat, now do.
It's tlit-some to be sitting so long and
sure I'd just as soon stand as not." The
weary old woman sank heavily Into the
proffered place, while the shabby young
ghl who stands all day long on her
two tired feet In a store, swayed cheer
fully to and fro, as she grasped tho
last strap on tho line. She would prou
ably have done the kind act any dav,
for it was In her quick, merry Irish
heart to think swiftly for others, but
the appreciation of the little scene was
Instantaneous at this time, when nil
hearts ate warmer and emotion lie
nearer the urface.
Thus It Is sad that the tendency of
the age is to abandon the dear old
myths, or the pretty folk-lore that used
to make childhood's days the happier
for the belief. Tho youthful intellect
must now bo Trained with a big T.
With the "muchness" of Ideas emanat
ing from creat brains It Is discovered
that we have all been on the wrong
tack. It is wicked to teach the little
folks iho myths und superstitions of
the dark ages, and hence Kris-Kiingle
must bo lelegated to obllvon along with
Cinderella nnd AVIlllnm Tell und other
delightful memories who are 'real
enough to most of us. It Is such a pity
to disturb tho clilldion'ii Kanta Clans.
Surely ho Is the saintly Christinas Sphlt
going about over tho eaith these last
days of tho dying year to console us
for tho losses of the past, tho disap
pointments and the soriows. Surely It
will not harm the children to see In
him tho tender, gracious spirit which
at this season slips Into most hearts to
soften nnd turn them towuul those who
have been shut out during tlio twelve
month. From tlio white-bearded, laugh
inr old man with his gifts for good
children their thoughts will gradually
grow to recognize the f.plrlt of unsal
llshnoss which at tho Christmas tldo
enters Into all hearts to multe otheis
happy,
Tho desire to mako the world more
material, to destroy tho sweet old be
liefs of nthor years, seems entirely too
aggressive, particularly In tlic most
popular form of literature for tho
young tho books concerning wild unl
mals. For this reason nlono I yvould
taboo tho stories of Ernest Seton
Thompsou those wimdeiful fnsclnnt
In .studies, with their exquisite Illus
trations, which make- real persons of
tho furry characters. No man has
any right to send a book Into a child's
lifo that will cause so many tears at
"Wild Animals I Have Known." The
brilliant author explains his attitude
In these beautiful stories by saying
thut Iho lives of nil anlmul.v end lit
tragedy and ub his Is a futthful por
tlvo forests.

There is no other disease so many
sided in Its "ill effects, so Insidious In
Its approach, so tenucious in Its hold
upon the system, as la grippe. Once
there, it stays until It is cured. I.a
grippe is one of the Ills that time will
npt cure.
The after-ell'ects of la grippe do not
locate in any pellicular organ. It
amounts to a general iiritablllty of the
mucous membranes of the whole body
a liabilities! and paleness of the mu
cous membrane. Komotlmi theie is
an over-amount of thin, watery mu
cous .'-ecH-ted, and at other times th -re
is a dryness of the mucous surfaces.
There Is no remedy In the world that
meets the conditions produced by In
gilppe better than tile remedy Perima.
l'eruna strengthens as It renovates,
.soothes while it stimulates, heals as it
expurgates. ""
Peruim is not a purgative, or cath
artic, or sedative, or stimulant, nor it
vegetable Or miueinl poison, ft reaches
the soui co of all diseases of the mu
cous membiaues by Its action on the
vaso-motor system nf nerves.
The following are snmpiis of the let
ters received by Dr. Ilnrtmnn concern
ing the cures Perun.i is making.
I lion. F. Simmons. United States
j marshal. Mobile, Alabama, speaks in
high praise of tile
-0
merits of retu-
na. lie says:
"After having
used l'eruna for
a slant time 1
find that it is the
most excellent
remedy for the
grip and catarrh
ever prepared. 1
can heartily rec
ommend It to
any one." F.

letter, says:
"I cannot say anything else but good
of your medicines. For seven win'ers 1
had suffered with la grippe, and by
each attack was con lined to the bed.
In the winter of IS9S, I was attacked
a line which Invariably described the
end of the hero, the heioine, the fond
lover, the sweet wife, would soon n
come extremely unpopular. Are not
the pleasnntest books in our memory
those which "ended well," as we term
it? Should we recall Jane Eyre,
Ivanhne, David Cupperflld and all the
other dear people of lletion with half
the pleasure if Ave had stood by their
death beds?
Aie not they still living dentures
whom wo may call to our minds at
will? Wo like lo remember them us
.still alive with the hopes and ambi
tions and the chariK-leristlcs we sj
love. If their cieators hud compelled
us lo witness tho pathelio close ot
their existence wo should feel httlo
I-lc.isuro in calling them out of their
caskets.
Wo adored "Sentimental Tommy,"
but wish we had not been so curious to
find out what hurponed to him as lo
read "Tommy and fli-lmsl," we likj
lo recall tho stirring emotions awak
ened by "To Have and to Hold," but
"Prisoners of Hope" only leaves n
shadow where- there might huvo been
sun. We nru swift lo recommend ''Tho
Cardinal's Snuff Boc," but we are vo
ciferous In wondering why Mis. Cral
gte ever wrote such n dolsfully useless
book fis "Hubert qf Orange," Wo a'o
just like tlie childion who do not want
to hear that their fnviuitos tiro dead,
"Wnhb" Is a real creatine, and to veal
ot his sail end is to wepp, ovon for a
bear who has been naughty nt times.
The tragedy of Bobo's life Is n real
grief to nny reader. As for "Blnuea"
and all the other poor 111 Mo forest
folk, one small boy I know simply
howls nnd will not bo comforted when
tho Inevitable end of their brief story
is reached and so I say no author has
u right to bring so miiny tears to
children and gi own-tips, too, as this
greatest .student of animal life in
modern times.
Even tho little children may have
their minds so Imbued with tlio true
Idea of Urn Christmas spirit Incarnated
In Santa Cluus that the holiday muy
not mean all receiving, but a great
portion of tlio pleasure lie In giving.
So sweetly Is this Inwrought In some
youthful hearts thut it cannot but
weave a beautiful character, 1 know u,
little mil Id who had a blrthduy last
week. She was Just six, and it was a
great event, In that faintly tho chil
dren ure taught that on their birthdays
they must do some special act of kind
ness to somebody else, that because
they are glud to bo allvo and to have
their own loving parents and friends
they must think of others who may not

lemembranco thus mark the day as dif
feient. Tho small peison whose birthday
was to be celebrated with joy, and
with gifts nnd loving care, thought
much about the way she must mako

two friends who went away on a holi
day journey and never came home
again. She had missed them sorely, the
fnlr young girls with their bright hair
nnd laughing eyes, and tho tragedy
which met them on their way hud left
a deep Impression upon her childish
memory. So this blithdiiy of hers she
thought of those whom she would so
gladly greet, and as a consequence two
groves down In New England have
holly wreaths ubove them this Christ

every bottle, and I am glad to say that
It lias cured me. I shall certainly rec

Mrs. Jane Gift, of Hebbardsvllle, O.,
writes the following: "I think I would
have' been dead long ago if it had not
been for Peruna. Six years ago I had
la grippe very bad. The doctor came
to see me every day, but I gradually
grew worse. I told my husband I
thought I would surely die if I did not
get relief soon.
"One day I picked up the newspaper
and accidentally found a testimonial
of a woman who had been cured of la
grippe by Peruna. I told my husband
I wanted to try It. Ho went directly to
tile drug store und got a bottle of Pe
runa. 1 could see the Improvement in
a very short time and was soon able to
do my work. I continued using It until
J wa.s entirely cured.
"I have Induced a great many to try
the medicine nnd all have had the
suine result. I have used it In my
family for my husband and children
for colds and la grippe. I would not
be without it in the house. I really
think It has added years to my life,
and I feel I have no one to thank but
Cod und Dr. Hartman. Jf other suf
ferers are induced to try this wonder
ful medicine they will join me in hing
ing its praises." Mrs. Jane Gift.

having repeatedly heard of the value
of Peruna in such cases, I thought I
would try it. T
used it faithful

feel a change for
the better the
second day, and
in the course of
a week I was
very much Im
proved. After
using three bot
