(which are all too thin, apples and or

packages of food for sick mothers are
put into their hands.
Thus closes the happy day.
Looking up the deserted staircase, a

there, with a doll-her first doll, PROB

viii you ask your readers If there
shall not be other Christmas clubs thus
year? If all the children in every city,
every town, and every village, shall not
have one good dinner, n happy day,
every year?
Ifyou will do this, dear st. Nicholas,
I am sure | may give YOU the thanks OF
all the members of the Portland Christ

making their own hearts glad as to make

Let us skip the busy days of prepar
alton, when the secretary of the Chill
dren's Christmas Club recorded twelve
hundred names; when the Park street
school sent in the names of one hun
dred members who brought to their
teacher books, toys and clothing, TO be
sent to the City Hall; when comfortably
clad children came through the city
bringing in their sleighs, on their sleds,
in their arms bundles of clothing and
toys, baskets of provisions, books,
sleGs, skates-much that was dear to
them, given in the spirit of true char
ity.
One child could bring "only a plate OF
blscuits;" another a dozen apples for
the dinners" n had no toys at home,

And how were the children invited
those children who were to be the guests
Of the club?
Six hundred invitations were printed.
An invitation committee was formed tn
distribute these invitations with the
greatest care to persons who would be
responsible for every ticket; that is.
they gave no invitation to any child
without knowing the parents or some
thing OF the recipients history, and
writing the child's name on the front OF
the card, with the giver's name on the
back.

these little quests" could come to the

Let us look into the city hall at half

fitting day for this children's feast.

HANG UP TEE BABY's STOCKING.

Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget,
The dear little dimpled darling,
He never a Christmas yet
But I've told him all about 1t,
And he opened his big blue eyes,
And Pm sure he understands 1t,
He looks so funny and wise.
Dearl what a tiny stocking,
Il doesn't take mich to hold
Su b pink toes as baby's
Away from frost and cold.
But then, for babY's Christmas
IL will neve do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small
know what we'll do for the baby
Thought OF the very best plan;
I'll borrow a stocking ofera1dma,
The largest that ever / can;
And we'll hang II by mine, dear mother
Right here in the corner, so,
And write a letter to Santa,
And fasten it in the toe.
Write: This is the baOy's stocking
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen him Santa,
For he only came this year.
But he's JUST the blessedest baby
And now, before you go,
Just cram his STOCKING with goodies,
From the ton clear down to the toe.

I want TO do anything for these others:

PRINCIPLES which were: To be ready at
all times with kind words to assist chill
dren less fortunate than ourselves; to
make every year in Christmas week a
festival of some kind for them; to III
stead of carelessly destroying them; to
save and, whenever practicable, put in
good repair all outgroWn clothing; TO beg
nothing from any source, but to keep as
the keystone of the club the word

cents, and to make their first festival in
the City Hall on Thursday December

Then came the choosing Of Officers,
with the idea that the chief officers,
should be grown persons. His honor
the mayor of Portland was elected pres
ident of the Children's Christmas Club.
Others, ladies and gentlem n, were
chosen Tor vice president. treasurer sec
Ietary, executive committee, etc, etc.
The children then dispersed to meet
again on Saturday, at Reception hall.
Saturday morning brought to the hall,
first a meeting of grown persons, who
offered their stronger hands, wiser
heads and deeper purses in the work
the children had undertaken; butagreed
that all that children could do should be
left to them.
And a great support these "elders"
form, who stood ready in the back
ground to give Of their strength, who
Quietly inclosed their willing contribu-
tions to the executive committee, with
best wishes for the Children's Christmas
Club"
Instead of one hundred chi dren,
three hundred came to Reception hall,
eager to join the club. After addresses
by the president and others, children's
committees were appointed, and their
work explained to them.
As the children passed out in single
file, each was re gisteTed, and received
from the secretary a card Of member
