The PnnxfHitnwnoy Spirit mndo Its
ajH'Bi-anre 1nt wi'ck looking ns mnt as
a new pin. It hiw Ix-en rnlnrpod from
a tlx to a seven column, clcht-)np,e

new drop of typo. Tho Spirit lins
always lieeti nn nttrni'Mvo pnper. but
with Its stylish nppi'nninoo now It will
be mora attractive lVojjfresslvonoas Is
tho motto of tho Spirit.
Tho sulwcribor who comes In these
days and ptiv tho printer Is blessed and
in the kingdom to como will bo given a
high place. Ills name will bo written
at the top of tho column, next to pure
reading matter, and nothing In the
house will bo too good for him. He
will got "comps" to all harp recitals,
have a reserved seat beside tho editor,
while all the delinquent subscribers will
have to carry water for tho performers
and sit up In the gallery, says an ex
change. Christmas, with all Its gaiety and
sometimes revels, has never entirely
lost its distinctively Christmas charac
ter; it does much to help the most of
us keep our hold upon the higher and
better things of life; the annual cele
bration brings nearer and makes more
real to us all the great events it com
memorates. It Is well not to forget the
real significance of the day; tho re
membrance of what it Is and what It
does, ought surely to make its joys all
the more joyful.
It is difficult to predict the future
work In the magazine field. No one
would have conceived, ten years ago,
that a thirty-five-cent magazine would
ever contemplate the uso of expensive
lithographic processes In printing.
But a ten cent magazine has put in a
large and complete lithographic plant
with the avowed purpose of furnishing
a certain amount of color work every
month. Tho first rosnlt Is the repro
duction nf a water color, drawn by Rossi
for the Cosmopolitan, and redrawn up
on stono by the Cosmopolitan litho
graphic artists, and printed upon the
Cosmopolitan lithographic presses.
Work upon even a more extended scale
Is promised for the January number.
In the mind of Christendom the
Christmas season has for centuries been
set apart as a time of peace and good
will among men. To the religious feel
ing originally prompting this distinc
tion has been added a sentiment culti
vated by the social customs and usages
of tho people of all Christian lands. It
is the time of gift-making, of reconcilia
tions, of reunions, of the overcoming of
resentments, and the burying of feuds
and enmities. It is the season when
men try harder than at any other time
to cultivate the spirit of happiness and
peace. It is because of this effort, be
cause of this prevalent fouling that the
Christmas season is generally associated
with what is tonderest, sweotost and
holiest in human life, that it is so
pleasant always In anticipation und so
delightful -in recollection. Who can
doubt that each recurring Christmas
tide does leave the whole world posi
tively better than it found it, a gentler,
kindlier spirit among men, more lovo
and more sympathy.
Tho man whose ha! ha! reaches from
one end of tho street to the other may
be the same fellow who scolded his wife
and spanked the baby before he got his
breakfast, but his laughter is only the
crackle of thorns under the pot. Tho
man who spreads his laughter through
his life before a late breakfast when
he misses the train; when his wife goes
visiting and he has to eat a cold supper;
the man who can laugh when he finds
a button off his shirt, when the furnace
fire goes out in the night, and both of
the twins corne down with the measles
at the same time he's the fellow that's
needed. He never tells his neighbor to
have faith; somehow he puts faith into
him. He delivers no homilies; the
tght of his beaming face, the sound of
his happy voice, and the sight of his
blessed dally life, carry conviction that
.words have no power to give. The
blues flee before him as the fog before
the west wind; be comes Into his own
home like a flood of sunshine over a
meadow of blooming buttercups, and
his wlfo and children blossom in bis
presenoe like June roses. His home U
redolent with sympathy and love. The
neighborhood is better for his life, and
somebody will learn of him that laugh
ter la better than tears. The world
needs this man. Wby are there so few
01 tnemr can be be created? Can he
be evolved? Why in he not In every
loAise, turning rain Into shine and
venter into summer all the year, until
