Story Of Christmas.
DY CLAUDE II. JULIAN.

Once upon time, when the ground was
covered with snow, and the wind was blow
ing cold and strong, and all the trees were
bare. and the flowers looked like they were
dead. MIR. Jack Frost had been biting them
with his sharp old teeth that 60 in Johnny's
fingers and toes and make him cry. john
ny was jumping about and once in while
would peep into a great big basket and pull
out stick of candy, and go and give it to
the cat, and then cry for more. After
while johnny got tired of playing in the
house., 80 he thought he would go out and
hit somebody with SNOWFALL 80 off he
started but Jack Frost was listening through
the key hole and wishing he could get in
and catch one of his fingers that he had
stretched out before the fire. But when he
heard Johnny talk of going out doors, he
thought he would have some fun too. So
he hid beside the door, and just as Johnny
came out he jumped ct his fingers and
caught hold of them and bit his fingers so
much that it made him come screaming into
the house, and he thought he wouldn't 60 out
any more that day, and he didn't. I think
