Christmas Observance.

In our country at present Christmas
is generally observed wisely and well
by Christians. Our churches are open
for prayer and praise on that day, and
of old customs, we continue to follow
only those that are symbolic, innocent
or eeautiful-such as gift-giving, the
Christmas tree, decking our homes with
evergreens and holly and the like. We
preserve, also, the time -honored custom
of serving up an abundant and rich din
ner on that day, which is we'll and COM
mendable, so long as we remember that.
this is only a part, and by no means a.
very important part, of our Christmas
rejoicing.
Let us eat heartily and give God
thanks for the excellent food and the
good appetite and digestion that enables
us to enjoy it; but let us not eat SO.
much as TO hurt our health or our tenn
per-so may our thanks be sincere and
heartfelt. 1t may be that the sight OF
our own abundance will move us to CALI
in to share our meal some neighbo1
whom God has blessed much less bouns
tifulfy than us in material things-that
would be a part. and a very good part,
of giving thanks. The proper observe
ance of Christmas should be a part Of
our Christian duty as well as anything
else Church and Home.

dies, answered Tina, leaning back in
the carriage.
''Oh. cracky,'' said Ben to himself.
81 never en- Dyed fare like this in my
life. ONE Nip and Tip, we will take
them home in style.'
For half an hour great CONSERVATION
had seized Maggie. Susan and the
parents of the children, who had all re-
turned and were instituting search for
them.
DIR. Benton had driven off to the
police station to notify the Chief OF
Police of the loss of two small children,
whom he infinitely described.
Mr.. Fare was trying to pacify the
two distracted mothers Susan and
Maggie had been sent to hunt in differ
ent directions. All of sudden a hack
ish, and the youthful couple descended
from it, looking as happy and demure
as two kittens, their arms filled with
bundles and their mouths with candy.
"Why. where on earth have you been,
childrenP' said Mrs. Earle, while Mrs.
Benton Rugged Ned to her bosom in
her delight at having him safe and
sound.
why. we have been out shopping, -
said Tina, in the. most innocent fash
ion.
''And we have bought some beauti-
full things, and no one must see them
until Christi mas, must they Tina?" said
Ned.
mo, indeed, they must not think of
il" answered the little damsel.
20 children, how you have fright
ened u.s. sobbed and laughed Mrs.
Earle.
Mr.. Earle had meanwhile inter-
viewed the driver of the hack and re-
queSted him not to obey Miss Tina's Or
ders again
mo, sr; / won't. But, you see, it
was such precious pair. / couldn't
spoil their fun, and I wouldn't have let
anything happen to themfor a thousand
dollars. |"
DR.. Benton. after stirring up the po-
lice to hunt for the children, returned to
find them safe and sound.
The children's parents tried to inn
press upon them the exceeding naught-
mess of their conduct, but could not
find it in their heart to spoil their happy
day by any very severe punishment To
be sure they had no butter on their
bread for supper that night. but that was
not so dreadful, as one had jelly and the
other marmalade.
Tina's papa promptly paid the driver
of the hack his ten cents, but he never
drove Tina out again without her man.

Ned was not so wise in his choice.

their success.

Ned.

''Driver." called Tina from the car
rage window.
Ben good-naturedly refined in his
horses and asked what the lady and
gentleman would like.
..Drive TO candy store" said Tina.
''Yes, marm,'' said Ben, chuckling
with laughter.
When they reached the store Tina got
cut. and looking up at the big fellow on
the box, asked in a very sweet voice if
he would please lend her ten cents.
''Why. you amt spent all your
money, have ye?'
Eyes we have; but you see we must
have some candy for the children" said
Ned, very much in earnest.

hand into his pocket and bringing out
ten cents.
The children disappeared, while Ben
cracked his whip in glee. IF that amt

The children decided that ten differ
ent sticks of candy would make the
greatest show. so they invested the ten
cents in that way.

such an air that he nearly choked with
smOthered laughter.

more. After dinner Tina said: Nov
we will go into the library and talk

library, and each taking large easy

Snip on his hind legs, and putting one
