What right had the authorities to tor

ing such factor into their service? A
train boy is always nuisance at his
best, with his impudent and constant
annoyance, his utter lack of delicacy,
his trespass on time and patience,
his presumption and intrusion on our
privacy. And by what law OF equity
should have my sensibilities panied in
a fretful sympathy for supposititious
misery? couldn't help it. What could
possibly do for the fellow even
though were to make an effort?
The half-smothcred sigh of the train
boy seemed to attract the attention OF
one of the commercial travellers; either
that or the lugubrious expression on
his face; for the traveller immediately
accosted him in a way peculiar to
knights OF the road in addressing an
employe, with whom all drummers and
railway men assume familiar ac-
quaintance.

lie no longer drooped, but sat erect in
his seat. His dough-colored face took
on mahogany tint. The dull eyes
were sparkling with new light. Hope
had given him back his manhood and
courage. He could appear before hia
humble family in the character Of q
protector and provider. He could re-
spond to the welcome home rs every
true man loves to respond with some
new comfort for those he loves. He
would come home with good tidings for
Christmas; for the jolly Samaritan had
sold enough in our car to insure his
hopes.
but here comes Rube, returning from
his labors with an empty basket and
but two volumes of the disreputable
literature which forms the bulk Of sup
ply for the trainboy-"The Mistakes OF
Noses" and Nance" There is smile
lurking beneath his mustache-I can
detect it by the dimples in each cheek
and there is sunshine In his eyes.
Six feet of you, Rube, and every inch

cynical may say you have made an ass
Of yourself; but that will not trouble
You, old fellow. Your face is aglow
with a brightness brought from heav-
emily places, that ridiculous cap on your
head is crown of glory to you, Rube.
You have preached for me an eloquent
sermon, a lesson Of uses. You have
shown me that sentimental emotion is
of no value or account. Benevolent
wishes are moral vaporings unless they
find their ultimate in doings. The gifts
you possess you have cheerfully laid on
the altar of charity, all unconscious Of
having done anything for your own
glory, delighting only in the joy you
have bestowed upon your neighbor-a

on the zenith altitude of the prema-

derby almost settled ON the shoulders
of the train boy.
Rube stood up fully six feet in his
shoes, and I should Judge would turn
the scale considerably beyond two hun

the absurdity Of the situation, and

Tho Spirit Of Living.

The great family life of America
does not represent opulence. II II
stands for anything it stands for com.
fort, but not for plenty. We can all
afford to recognize the Christ-like
spirit OF Christmas, which teaches us
to remember by some loving token
those nearest and dearest to us. But
only a few can afford to follow the
present method of extravagant and
senseless giving. Generosity is q
synonym the world over for the Amer
:ican; but true generosity is Of the
heart and of the heart alone. If one
has been more fortunate than the
other in the requirement of means,
and the will is present, then, l say, by
all means give largely and widely.
But let such giving be measured only
by true feeling and that spirit mani
tested as it can be, so that others, less
fortunate Of means, shall not feel that
they are obliged to do what really they
cannot afford to do. 1t will not harm
us If, in this respect, we go back lit
tie to the times that are past. No one
then heard all this talk about the
duty OF giving at holiday-time. People
gave because it was pleasure to
give; they liked to give, and they
gave what they could. A Christ
mas present then meant more than it
docs now, in that its only association
was the day and the spirit of the giver.
Times were simpler, 1t 10 true. and
wants were fewer. But II We have
progressed, and presents are possible

our forefathers, the spirit can 1T least

The travel was comparatively light

finish up their work and were already
rejoicing in the comforts OF home. OF

FIRST There were but four commercial
men that recognized as such on this
special train. and as usual they were
making the best of the occasion with
kts'ry and joaean merry conversation.
Hssving reversed one of the seats with
permission or aid of the conductor,
4 button hook saving all such ccre-
n4my, four of them sat facing each
o.,,er, forming u jovial group-more
sno!icea bic, perhaps, on account OF the
gloom which seemed to cnvclop the
a.ncr passengers.
There were about twenty-five pill
&. ms occupying he car, comprising the
us,aal varieties OF character to be found
urder the circumstances. The train
ocv had passed and repasscd through
with his burden of well-worn paper
cn~ered novels, or his basket Of
posthumous ripencd fruit, but his stock
had not appeared to diminish any in
spite of his industry. BY the weary
and discouraged expression Of his coun-
tcnance it was evident that trade was
not very lively. The train boy in this
case, as in most cases. was man in
years. but still short enough in stature

anyonc except their own near kin.
The train boy seated himself in an un.
occupied corner next to the group Of
drummers, and taking from his pocket
q meager handful of small coins began
70 count them over. He seemed to de-
rive little comfort from this occupa-
tion, for he soon replaced the money in
als pocket with an audible sigh.

Rube-I call him Rube because that
was the name his friends gave him
presented himself and stock in trade.
Apples, oranges, peanuts, bananas,

Florida for this identical train? Buy

Not to-day, thanks
"Of course not; knew you wouldn't
fool away money on this stuff. Twas
just trying to be funny, you know.
Men Of the world like you and must
relax little now and then; no offense,
I hope. l know you society men are
apt to be little stiff with strangers.
But most of you fashionable fellows
arc good-hearted, after all. And to-
morrow's Christmas, you know"
"Oh, understand; that's all right"
reAied the flattered youth.
"It's pretty gay sort Of life you
fellows lead, reckon. never was in

book, Society as l Have Found It.

the rage with the -Four Hundred, and
something you'd appreciate. I've got
one copy here, and I don't mind giving
you the first show for It,"
The young man seemed TO be gratifled
by these remarks, and did not conceal
the self-conscious expression Of his face
as he took the volume and turned over
the leaves.
"What does 1t cost?" he inquired.
"Well, the price marked on 1t is ffty
cents, but you know it's the last in the
lot and getting mighty rare. But I'll
let you have it for seventy-five cents.

Well, the young man bought the
book and probably had his moneys
worth, as he seemed deeply interested
in its contents from that time forward.

swell, cheer up, Jimmie. We all
strike hard lines some time or other,
and to-morrow's Christmas, anyway,
and don't you forget it."
That's what makes things worse,
says the train boy, evidently glad to
relieve his feelings by confiding in the
somewhat rough but not unwelcome
sympathy extended. "Ye see, there's
the old woman and tree kids waitin'
fer me at home, and they's all q lookin'
