iron A GIFT TO THE POOR Is LOAN TO THE
LORD"
"Then to morrow morning early, wife,
Before the neighbors are stirring about,
Send the basket over the way with John.
Twill he heavy you say Well, John is
stout.
Let him take bag Of potatoes along,
And grist' Of fiour-it's the stan OF lfe"
That night the widow read I'll Psalm:
''The Lord is my Shepherd, shall not
want"
And then she bowed her aged head
While Faith took wings foi' an upward
mount
As she prayed--"Give me my daily bread;
Oh, Lord, Thou knowest how poor am"
Next morn she was busy laying her plan
For little feast Of her own that day;
slice Of toast and a cup Of tea,
When step was heard in the passageway
And CHEEKY voice saying: '.It's only me;
The folks have sent you something down
To make you dinner, Widow Gray;
And best Of all there's nothing to pay.
This tent dollar bill--don't stare so hard
Squire said you could use it, he knew you
could;
And this isn't all, for out in the yard
There's taters and turnips ana Hour and
wood"
Then the widow knelt and meekly said:
Lord have more than my daily bread"
And John, as he turned to go away,
Saw her pale lips move and heard her say:
sits just like him--God bless the mani"
That night the Squire sat in his chair
Reading chapter before he prayed
While an unseen One stood with book and
pen
And wrote, while q smile on his visage
played:
"Blessed Is he who loveth his fellow men,
And scndeth an answer along with his
prayer"

silver threads among the gold
Since the early Christmas days.
He sat and counted the blessings over
That had come to him from the Fathers
hand
He measured his bursting cribs Of corn,
His well-filled barns and fruitful land,
And the heart In his breast grew soft and
warm
As he thought Of the helpless poor.
He thought Of the widow across the way,
And said to himself 81 have goods to spare,
The Lord has been very kind to me,
I'll tighten little her load of care;
II I'm alive tomorrow I'll sec
That she has happy Christmas Day."
Then he called to his wife, in the other room
She was busy baking tarts and pies,
While turkey lay stuffed on table near,
And he said; Let us give Widow Gray o
surprise;
II will make our dinner taste better, my dear,
Tomorrow afternoon.
"Fill basket full of something good,
Christmas comes but once a year;
Send what you think she will like the best;
Here's ten dollar bill her heart to cheer;
Send pair Of chickens among the rest,
And John can leave her load OF wood
What we send to her we shall never miss,
For gift to the poor is a loan TO the Lord,
And He's powerful prompt In paying back;
We have our security here In His word

SO guess We can take His promise for this

bread. There is a whole family starving
in the row where l came from. What
have you to give to thcm?"
Silas Marks was frightened: he looked
into the face of the uncanny child and
his dry lips formed one word:
"Nuthin'."
"Your Master, yes, Mr. Rich Man,
your Master said: The poor ye have al
ways with ye.' And He said: Feed my
lambs Have you done it?'
The voice seemed to have risen into
the air above his head. Every note was
as clear and distinct as bell.
"Shrouds have no pockets" continued
his strange guest. when you go-and
it won't be long, Silas Marks, it won't
be long-you will have to leave all your
houses and lands and gold. And when
you 60 to the judgment they won't ask
for your rent-roll but thcre'll be ques-
tions hard to answer. Can you answer
when the King shall say:
Twas a.hungered and ye gave me meat
was thirsty and ye gave me drink;
Twas a stranger and ye took me in"
Get right out, l tell YOU" shriefed
Silas, but he did not lay the weight of
his lean finger on the beggar child.
How will you meet that dear mother
who fed the hungry and clothed the
naked, and that other--I see her now
your poor, unhappy wife?'
Silas Marks turned in such mortal
fright that the candle fell from his
trembling hand and went out on the
floor.
"You have time to repent came the
voice, and it sounded supernatural in
the dark. Come down to the narrow
river streets tomorrow and find the
people who have no food and no fire
the little children with not enough to
eat and shivering in their wretched
homes-the sick and deformed and
wretched, whom God gives to you and
such as you for an Offering, in the name
of Him who was once homeless child.
1t is only what you give that you can
take with you beyond this life"
The door closed and all was silent.
Trembling IN every limb, Silas Marks
hurried to relight the candle. Yes, she
had been there. The miserable. rickety
basket with o crust Of bread and sod
den potato In 1t was left behind.

The next day Bessie Van polt was la.d
up on the sofa in the library at home
suffering from slight cold when mole
Silas walked in.
How bright an chcrfyl you do look"
he said, warming his numbed hands over
the light coal fire.
What's to hinder" laughed Bessie.
'Why shouldn't we be warm and coy
and comtortable?'
She was reading a new book and turned
the leaves with lazy satisfaction.
We'll, that's so, | s'pose; but then
re's-ahcm-some folks that don't

Uncle Silas.

CHRISTMAS WORRY.
Why the Holidays Are Burden and a
Wear to Mind and Body.

Why the Holidays Are Burden and a
Wear to Mind and Body.
When what was designed to he a
pleasure becomes n burden. it is time to
stop and examine it carefully. and see if
it is the thing itself which has grown to
he such weight, or whether it is sim
ply an awkward manner of carrying it.
Certainly there must be something
wrong in any celebration Of Christmas
which results in serious fatigue OF mind
and body. During the first three
months of the year nothing is moro com
monty given as Il reason for ill-hCalth
than an overstrain during the holidays
"Shc got so worn out at Christmas" or
"Shc worked too hard in finishing her
Christmas presents. or Tho week be-
fore Christmas she was tired out with
shopping" are excuses which appear as
surely as January and February come.
The question must occur sometime to
every one, whether all this worry and
wear of heart and hand and brain are
really worth while. Is there not
some better way of celebrating this
day Of days than for women to wear
themselves out in making or buying
pretty triflcs for people who already
have more than they can find room for?
Setting aside all effort Of eyes and fin
gers, the mental strain is intense. 1t is
remarkable fact that, although Christ
mas has been kept on the 25th day Of
December for more than one thousand
wears, its arrival seems as uncNrectcd
as if it had been appointed by the
President No one is ready for it, al
though last year every one resolved to
be so, and about the middle of December
there begins rush and hurry which is
really more wearing than May moving.
Above all things, if you give presents,
be more anxious to give something
which supplies want than to send
some pretty trifie which can only prove
in the end an additional care. There
are numberless things which can be
procured, without wear and tear of
mind and body which make the recipient
feel as David did of the water from the
well of Bethlehem, that what costs so
much was too valuable to be accepted

great iron safe-all right there. too.
Money, bank bills, gold, securities, bonds
- he gloated over them and petted them
with fond appreciation.
The door-bell rang and startled him
terribly; once, twice, then ting-a-ling
in rapid succession. 1t must be his man
OF business. He locked up his safe, cast
a careful eye around the room and went
downstairs. Undoing the latch but not
the burglar chain he peered out into the
night. Nobody there. He looked down
and saw something that in the lamplight
looked like miserable child.
'What do you want, elf?" he asked,
angrily.
"Somethin' to eat, please. I'm most
starved"
"Nonsense How dare you come around
here disturbin' folks at this hour of the
night?"
"Me mothers very sick an me little
sister has broken back
II don't believe it. What does your
father do?"
''Please, sir, he drinks"
"And you expect me to help you, do
you? Well, I'm poor man myself, and
don't drink, an | won't help any man
that does"
Hes blind and begs for pennies in
the saloons, an the nice gentlemen like
yourself gives him drinks to make him
sing"
Every time he tried to close the door
the elf, as he had called her, thrust
miserable, ragged arm in and prevented
him.
I'll ring for the police" he said, saw
agely, ''if you don't 90 away"
'Oh, please, sir, give me little some
thin to keep US from starvin'-a bit of
bread that's fit to eat, or dime to buy
loaf; the shops where live are open,
sir, yit.'
Late passers-by heard the curious dia-
logue and loitered. Silas Marks jerked
the door open and laid a rough hand on
the child. She cringed at his touch
''Oh, amt goin' to hurt you, ye beg
gar's brat. Come inside and let me sec
what's in that basket. I'll give ye
neither nickel or dime, but if there's a
crust left may throw you that
The child stood inside the hall, and by
the faring light of the candle seemed to
be about nine years old-a wan, childish
little creature, dressed IN rags; her long
thin legs encased in torn, black stock
ings, and miserable apology for a
shawl thrown over her head: her
straight, black hair hung in ragged
locks over her white face and that
looked almost CHASTITY in its setting Of
black shawl border.
''lf that bread amt no good | don't
want it. All our food is Il. 9. You kin
keep it."
"Well, baggage, do you expect mince
pie and plum pudding?' asked Mr.
Marks, in high sarcasm.
"Oh, sir wouldn't that be bu-fine.
Wese folks don't never get nothin' like
that-we DON'T
AN you won't git it here, and If you
won't take loaf OF bread that's good
enough for me you kin get out at once. "
He opened the door cautiously, but she
made no attempt to move. Instead of
going out she dropped her wretched
baske on the floor and drew her tattered
shawl closer about her.
"You won't give me nuthin'? You,
rich gentleman, offer me loaf of stale

of the last vestige of currant jelly from
his quivering chin he said:
81 wish every poor man had as good a
dinner to-day as I've had, and that's
saying good deal"
Poor mani" echoed his wondering
nieces and nephews, in chorus. "Why,
Uncle Silas, you amt poor man"
Uncle Silas chuckled hard, chinky
laugh that might have been tied with a
string, it SO resembled his own precious
money-bags in the hollow jingle 1t
made.
Hes right" said fresh, young voice
that had not been heard before; "Uncle
Silas is poor man."
"ADd how do you know, missy?" asked
the ola man, without anger and appar-
emily quite amused.

away to make you rich," was the cool,
calm answer Of Bessie Van Pelt, his eld-
cot niece. She WAS digging into . badly

A Deaf.Mute KiIIed.

Deaf people seem to have great par
tiality for getting in places where their
infirmity is liable to be source of dan
ger to them, at least so the railroad rec
ords show, for a big percentage of the
people run down while walking on the
track are deaf-mutes. Another case was
added to the number yesterday at Sum-
ner resulting in the death of man
named Rand. The switch engine was
working down the yards, and the engineer
seeing a man walking down the track
ahead, gave the customary danger s'g-
nails of ringing the bell and whistling.
The unfortunate individual did not turn
his head aside, however, and before the
locomotive could be stopped he was run
down and mutilated in a horrible man
ner, resulting in almost instantaneous
death. Beyond the facts that his name
was Rand, and that he was deaf and
dumb, no other particulars could be OBJ
zeined about him.
