Why He Is Polite.

The Philadelphia Press quotes a
hotel clerk as regarding to a dead-b beat
trick:
won't you leave your coat down
here before you go up to dinner? Let
nae take it." suavely hesought the
clerk of a country hotel of visitor
who had just come in. II will hang
it up" he continued politely. The
guest thanked him for his profuse dis
play of courtesy, and went up stairs
highly pleased with the trouble that
had been taken over him. 1--WE al
ways do that" said the clerk, winking
at bystander. 81 have only been in
the hotel business two months, but
that was the first trick learned. I
wanted that mans coat as security
for the payment of his dinner bill It
is the rule In many country hotels to

had decided to make no definite offer
of settlement. The communication in

Christmas and the Children.
Boston Traveller.

The golden gates that will soon
swing open for the festive season will
gladden. many hearts as the myriads
of favors are received. The children
nowadays value their gifts numeri-
cally. Last Christmas, one little girl
received over twenty presents. Now
the question arises does the child SO
richly supplied value the gifts SO east
~ obtained? The boarding and stow
ing away Of such things into drawers
and repositories, TO refresh the eye
with now and then. may lead to selfish
ness, whereas the little one who divides
with her less favored schoolmate is
doing the good that lies in her power,
and, by making another happy, is
bringing happiness to herself. There
are hundreds Of children to whom a
pretty little toy or little gift Of some
sort would mark golden epoch in
their yeung lives. A pilgrimage
through the lanes and alleys, with
the view of entering the homes where
some children are compelled to live,
would call forth benevolent feelings
into exercise, and the annual visit
would soon become periodical for
when the symphathies are thorough
~ enlisted in behalf of the suffering
ones, they reach through some ave
nue. Or other for the amelioration of
heir condition. 1t is worth trial.

THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

The Christmas day was coming, the Christmas
eve drew near:
The fr-treeS they were talking low, at midnight
cold and clear.
And this was what the fir trees said, all in the
pale moonlight:
''Now which of US shall chosen be to grace the
Holy Night"
The tall trees and the goodly trees raised each a
lofty head,
In glad and secret confidence, though not a word
they said.
But one the baby of the band, could not restrain
a sigh;
''You all will be approved" he said, ''but oh.
what chance haveI?
Il am so SMALL SO very small, no one viii mark
or know
How thick and green my needles are, how true
Few toys and candles could hold, but heart and
will are free,
And in NV heart of hearts know I am Christ
mas tree"
The Christmas angel lowered near; he caught the
grieviag word
And laughing low he hurried forth. with love and
pity stirred.
He sought and found ST. Nicholas, the dear old
Christmas Saint,
And in his fatherly kind ear rehearSed the fir
trees plant.
Saints are all powerful, we know so it befel that
day
That, axe on shoulder, to the grove q woodman
took his way.
One baby girl he had at home, and he went forth
to find
A little tree as small as she, just suited to his
mind.
Oh glad and proud the baby fir, amid its breth-
rem tall,
To be thus chosen and singled out, the first
among them alli
He stretched his fragrant branches, his little
heart heat fast.
He was a real Christmas tree; he had his wish at
last.
One large and shining apple with cheeks of rud-
dy gold,
Six tapers, and tiny doll, all that he could
hold.
The baby laughed, the baby crowed to see the
tapers bright;
The forest baby felt the joy, and shared in the
delight
And when at last the tapers died, and when the
baby slept,
The little fir IN silent night patient vigil kept
Though scorched and brown as need eS VI ere, 1t
had no heart 10 grieve.
ST have not lived in valn," he said, 'Thank God
for Christmas ever'

He admitted to several dealers
that the eggs were artificial and
were manufactured by a frm in

clear, transparent composition, and
the shape was perfectly modelled. The
portion surrounding the yolk was
made Of albumen, and the yelk itself
Of ground carrot and saffron. The
eggs were tested and found to scram-

BETHEL TOWNSHIP.

The following extract from the Ohio Edu
catioral Monthly pertaining to Township
High Schools is worthy the attention of
every reader of the GLOBE REHuBLIC inter-
ested in education:
One-third OF our high school is composed
of pupils from the country These pupils pay
about $3.50 tuition. This added to the town
ship tax makes very high school tax, and
shows in a strong light the inefficlency of our
| country schools. For less money and incon-
venience our township schools can have a
central high school. In a majority OF the
States and in tmsny parts of this State, the
country schools are organized and managed
on the same plan as city schools, and with a
saving Of one-sixth.-Covington (OhiO) Ga
Zette.
'The above touches matter of vital i'm
portsnce to the school interests of
our State. The conntry people of
Ohio are contributing largely
to the support of high schools in the cities
and towns. They are paying, in many cases,
very high price, and suffering great incon-
venience, for benefits which they might enjoy
at home at a smaller cost We have little
doubt that accurate statistics would verify
the statement that the expense incurred by
the country people OF the State for superior
school advantages away from home would be
more than sufficient TO sustain good high
school in every township. How much better
it would be to spend this money
at home. Many times the number
Of young people would seek to
elevate themselves by higher intellectual at
tanments, ii good school were within reach
Of their own homes; and many more parents
would gladly afford their children these priv
ileges il they could do it without the expense,
the risk and the Inconvenience of boarding
them away from home, and thus every COM
munity would become more intelligent, more
refined
ave are glad TO note that many townships
are moving in this matter. The time is COM
ing, and may ii soon come, when
every township in Ohio will have
its school of high grade to which
every child in the township may have
free access, as soon as it has made sufficient
advancement in the sub-district school. The
men of large means and influence in each
community should be foremost in this move
ment. Besides the advantages of living in
an intelligent and refined community, they
would reap advantages from the enhanced
value of property. Every good citizen pre-
fers a home where there are good schools,
and homes in such communities are always
in demand.

you to do. Study the question in all of It's |
