arose and went to the little window ara
looked out. Far up on the Rockies
barren heights were the vast accumula-
tons of eternal SHOWS. The sun, well
down the western slope, touched them
into dazzling opalescent colors. Some
thing of the beauty and sub!imity OF the
mountain scenery stirred the soul OIL
the little girl, and she murmured to her
self:
at is Christmas eve, and he was poor,
too-was born in a manger, the good
book says. But how lovely he has made

Then her thoughts returned to True.
'.If I just had something good fo1

The Meanest Man.

Bill Nye, the celebrated humorist,
was formerly a newspaper publisher,
before he got too smart to continue
longer at that business. His experience
was that common to the lot of us all,
and this is the way he expresses him
self about certain class of men: "a
man may be so mean and stingy that he
will use a wart on the back of his neck
for collar button he may ride in the
rear coach to save interest on his money
until the conductor gets around stop
his watch at night to save the wear and
tear; leave his is and It's without a
dot and cross to save ink; pasture his
COW on his mothers grave to save
feeding her-but man of this sort is
a gentleman and a scholar compared
with the fellow that takes newspape r
two or three years and when he is asked
to pay for it puts it back in the Office
and has it marked refused When
a man wants his paper stopped he
ought to pay up like an honest man
and inform the editor that it is no
longer wanted.''

Christmas Evergreens.


ing our houses and churches at Christ
mas with evergreens Is derived from an
Cient heather practices. When Druid
ism existed the houses We're decked
with evergreenS in December that the
sylvan spirits might repair 10 them and
remain unnipped with frost and cold
winds until milder season had renewed
the foliage of their darling abodes The
cutting of the mistletoe was ceremony
of great solemnity with our ancient an
CestorS.
The people went in procession. The
bards walked first, singing Canticles and
hymns; herald preceded three Druids
with implements for the purpose. Then
followed the prince of the Druids. ac-
co'npanied by all the people. He mount
ed the oak, and cutting the mistletoe
with a goldel sickle, presented it to the
otter Druids. who received it with great
respect. and on the first day of the year
distributed it among the people as sar
cred and holy plant, crying, "The mis-
tlet"~ or the new yearr
Because it was used in the pagan
rites Of the Druids, the mistietoe has
never been used in the decoration of
Christian churches, and it, therefore,
had its place assigned it in the kitchens
and halls, where it was hung up in
great state with its white berries, with
the charm attached to it that the maid
who was not kissed under it at Christ
mas would not be married in that year.

About O half mile from Buf1es' store

About half mile from Bufdes' store
she sat down on a rock by the mountain
trail to give her tears full vent. How
could she go back to True and report the
loss of Bonny? She knew the intelli-
gence would nearly kill him, so much
did he love the pony.
Down the trail came half dozen
horsemen. Their reckless manner of
riding, as well as their general costumes,
proclaimed them cowboys. They be-
longed to Murray's ''outfit," in charge
of a large cattle ranch over in Deer
Creek valley, and were on their way to
celebrate Christmas eve in roaring
style" at FINDERS saloon, next door to
Buffles' store.
Suddenly Jack Isley and Ben Spiker.
who were riding ahead, came to a halt.
Springing from their saddles they rushed
toward an object by the trail.
When their companions rode up they
saw Jack and Ben bending over a small
figure by the roadside.
'Wot is it,:

to cry bitterly

Those rough fellows knelt on the frozen
ground by her side and spoke soothingly
to the poor child. She became calmer,
and by degrees they succeeded in draw
ing the whole story from her.
When Ivy had finished the simple but
pathetic recital of her troubles, Jack
said:
"Fellers, man who'll treat leetle

For reply the cowboys tossed up their

So saying, Ivy was assisted to seat
behind Spiker, and they were soon riding
rapidly toward the settlement.
''Look hyerv' commanded Jack Isley,
as they approached the store, "don't let

When they reached the store they dis

Without turning her head to look at

With her young heart in q tumult Of
