as big as the side of a house and as
awkward as a young calf. When he sat
down he looked as il he had been

This popularity mad earned him the
name of sloppy" He was boy to be
envied at Christmas time. for be held
more candy than any ten of the Others
But he was the only one of us who
showed no sorrow at the prospect OF
Christmas without trees, and we
couldn't understand it. Urged to ex-
f. plain his calmness in misfortune, he ut
tered, on the 18th day of December,
these memorable words: ''Fellers,
there'l be more Christmas trees in
Goose Falls this year than ever you see
before. You leave it to me-"
We left it to him because we couldn't
! do otherwise, and he showed himself
not unworthy of our confidence. His
plan was very simple. He went to Aunt
/ Sally Clarke, who was, perhaps, the
most influential person in the Unitarian
church

Dunno" replied Sloppy. HE had
an ak, and he chopped down tree
about the size of the one they had at
their church last Christmas But he
left it a-lyin' there. 1 guess he only
chopped it down for fun"
"Fun!" exclaimed Aunt Sally. well.

sloppy, but, somehow, think I'm
most too big"
Don't you worry about that, replied
Aunt Sally, promptly; the bigger the
boy the bigger the present he gets
at Christmas. That's my way o think
in"
Aunt Sally" said the gigantic young
humbug. you're my idea of Christian
woman. and Solomon want wiser nor
more just than you are"
II Is, perhaps. needless to say that the
story Of Deacon Hudnut and the spruce
tree was as true as Jack and the Bean
stalk" It IS also unnecessary to state
that everybody in town had heard 1t IN
side Of tweuty-four hours. The Meth
odists instantly decided 10 have tree,

an inducement to early piety, that candy
bags would be larger that year, and
that the contents would have more
''chaw" 10 ii than ever before This
news gave great satisfaction 70 the ris-
ing generation; and the feeling rose to
wild enthusiasm when it became known
that the Epworth league had decided
10 have q tree, and that its decision
had forced the Ch-iat:an Endesvorers,
the Kings Daughters, the Unity club,
the Masons, the Odd Fellows and the
Sons OF Temperance 10 take similar

boys might violate the dictates of their
consciences for the sake of few bags
! of mere transitory candy, but not 1.
/ This resolution was highly applauded
/ by my Sunday-school teacher, and I
figured that the state of her feelings
ought to be worth at least a new pair
| of skates to me. It was given out open
ly that every scholar should have some
thing on the tree, and that the tradi-
tional bag of candy, consisting largely
of musty popcorn, should not count as
present.
The tree festivities began in the
morning Of the day before Christmas,
and for thirty-six hours there were at
least three In simultaneous operation in
various parts of the town. Children
passed through the streets laden with
Methodist presents on their way TO get
some out of the Kings Daughters.
Orthodox children who thought it was
wicked to go into the Unitarian church
went in just the same, and the pros
pect of eternal punishment lent an
added zest to their employment of the
exercises. Our friend, Sloppy, after
visiting all the trees mentioned hither-
TO, discovered that the Cooking club
was entertaining the very smallest
children in the attic of the village
school building. The stairs groaned
under his enormous weight-augmented
by vast quantities of candy of three
different creeds-and he was so ex-
hausted with the ascent that they
hadn't the heart to turn him away.
Meanwhile had centered my virtu-
GUS mind upon one tree. / had run err
rands, and, in short, had done weeks
work TO make the Unitarian tree sue

largest boughs of the tree would be re-
quired to hold the rewards Of my virtue.
did not know the actual state of the
case; that it had been decided to give
educational presents TO those boys who
had nobody to buy them anything
worth having; that gaYrets had been
ransac6ed for old books, and that mine
had been selected by an old lady who
had lett her glasses at home and
knew no more than that the book had
pictures in it.
He won't care what It is" she said,
hell like one thing just as well as an
other at his age"
And 50 it happened that / waited till
Santa Claus had nearly stripped the
tree, and that shed some secret tears
of disappointment as skates, trumpets,

ures went Il boys who were already
laden with tributes from the other

Christmas day.
As for Sloppy, he had never had 50
good time in his life before, and the
day after Christmas he obtained per
