A Christmas Story.

Miss Gertrude Martin was what people
commonly call an old maid. She had
few intimate friends because few people
understood her. This may have been the
fault of the people, or it may have been
due to the disposition that Miss Martin
showed to attend to her own affairs with
out the interference of any one.
AS is the case with many wealthy peo-
pie, Miss Martin was besieged by oil
sorts of people begging money, aims,
gifts-gifts for all sorts of enterprises.
To most of the people, who came, beg
ging, she delivered very characteristic
address. 1t was short and to the point
and her manner, as we'll as her words
forbade any argument of the matter.

men in\ managing my house work, the
work of a man in attending to my bust
ness outside. Do your poor work SO
hard? do not believe in what they call
charity. 1t is sin against one of Gods
laws to give money away. God made
man for work: I'll give work. Charity,
as you call it, makes beggars, beggars be.

thieves, murderers. I will not be response
BILE for the turning of one of my fellow
creatures into a beggar. Good day."
Think over her theories carefully before
yon judge her harshly. I think her more
right than wrong.
She was very just. No one ever worked
for her who did not receive full pay for
work done. She hired work done simply
that she might assist the needy. Ga--
ments, stacks Of them, were made to give
poor women sewing yet Miss Martin
never wore those garments nor expected
to though she did not tell of this.
To-day. the Oath of December, she had
visited this store to procure some cook
ing utensils that were displayed al
"specialties.'
She had noticed while making her pur-
chases, the intelligent animated little
faces of four children who were standing
looking at the toys displayed in the win
dow.

Little three year old, had not been out
to play in the sand for several days, and
in the mean time there had bsen a heavy
rain which had washed it almost ali
away. She came in, after surveying the
ruin OF her sand pile, the dearest of all
possessions. and. though she struggled
bravely to keep from crying, she could
not keep back the sobs as she said:
'''You didn't let me play in my sand for
so long, and now it is ali healed up into
ground"

I. q
IKE to have some nice little friends"
sThis is Harry. He is our baby. This
is Tom. and this is Laura. My name is
Dora : am the Oldest" said the little
girl, touching the children and naming
them In the order of their ages.
"And where do you live. What is your
papa's name?
MY papas name is Thomas Barnet,
and we live at 124 West 4th street-but
indeed we did not always live there" re-
replied Dora heartily, who was afraid
their surroundings might prejudice the
lady against them. "We once lived in a
little cottage on Troost avenue till papa
was hurt IN the packing house, then we
had to leave that"
"And your mammals name was Dora
Arnold, wasn't it?''
Eyes, yes. Did you know mamma?"
i6ked Laura, eagerly. Because If you
I'D and will come to see her she will be
s, glad. You see SO many of our other
friends won't look at US in a ten'ment
house."
eff youth be glad to see me, too, I'll
come. I knew your mamma when we
were little girls. But tell me what will
Santa Clause bring you this year?"
"Not any thing" answered Dora brave
ly. "We know that papa has to pay for
all of Santa Claus toys, and he needs all
his money to pay for his medicine We
are going to do without and be happy
any way"
But suppose that your papa didn't
have to pay for the toys and it was a real
fairy who brought them, what would you
like?"

as he thought of the fun.

up and down on the walk.
Nov for Dora, what does she want?"

After some more pleasant conversation
Miss Martin left the children with the
promise that she would come to visit
them.
eff you will come tomorrow" said
Dora, SIT will be Christmas gift for ALL"
and so it was arranged.
| But that evening Mrs. Dora Barnet re-
ceived the following little note:
My Dear Friend Dora.-I did not know
till to-day that you were in the city.
Won't you let the children hang up their
stockings tonight just as we ueed to do?

same.
Let me know by messenger if you want
me to come. Yours truly,
Miss GERTRUDE MARTIN.
1929 Independence Ave.
Now, the jolliest part of this you may
just imagine. The ladies were old
friends. and Miss Martin was at the little
home at 124 early enough to witness the
JOY of the children over their stockings
treasures, and that, she said, was her
Christmas gift, from them. And she al
ways said that the fairy had the merri-
est Christmas of all and believe she did
too.

not occasioned by any of the causes as

Twenty three northbound express
