The boy who built the fortress it describes became one of the great men of the country, It is a personal letter, but the recipient presents it for the blessing that’s in it to those in Seattle who will miss something, or somebody, at Christmas time. My Dear ———: Enclosed is a Christmas article which I hope you will like, i We in our family have always, as I dare say you in yours have, made much of Christmas. Now that brother and father have gone, it some- how isn’t as full and joyous a Christmas as of yore, but whenever adversity or sadness comes into my heart, I remember a story my father once told me about his days of adversity, when * a child. He had built himself a fortress out of soap boxes and made little pasteboard soldiers. For hours ‘he’ worked, pasting the little parts to- gether, making little pedestals upon which the soldiers could stand upright, upright but shaky When it was completed, he sat back admir- ingly to reap the reward of his efforts. At that moment, his mother, with a long train, swept across the floor and knocked the fortress and soldiers down with one fell swoop. His lip quiv- ered:and the tears started to his eyes. Then he beheld one soldier left standing and, clapping his hands joyfully together, said: “Look, mother, there is one left standing!” The great lesson of experience teaches that there is always ‘‘one left standing,” and, if you look hard enough, you'may find two or three. And the first thing you know there may be a whole army left, if you think straight and love true, So at this Christmas time the thought that is helping me I send to you and yours—the thought _ of “THE ONE LEFT STANDING boom managers decide to cover Johnson's activities with a headquarters, Looks like Uiram’s already become pacesetter Real Hidden Money ‘A, MAINE lawsuit involves a man named Benjamin F. ap Smith.

Judge mt Gary predicts it will be a better year for business - than 1923. __ Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel, expects 1924 to be “a repetition of 1923, and that business con- ditions in the two years will prove similar.” _ Even more comforting is the fact that the habitual erepe-hangers are quiet.

Isn't 2 it wonderful how these big business men want to pay more taxes? At __ Teast that’s what Mellon said would happen if high surtaxes were reduced. 2 Help for Mother HE Association of Overworked, Underpaid Dishwash- ing Housewives mails a petition to every senator in _ Washington, urging less legislation for men and more for the patient mothers who toil at home, They need help, all right, but they’re knocking at the wrong door when they apply to politics.
