doing to-day, they can mold popular opinion
at will Which is why they kick so hard

Christmas Giving.

You know, and ! know. that to thou
sands of rs Christmas has become
season Of the year the coming of which
we actually dread. Years ago our fore
fathers looked to it with delight. They
thought of it months before. We do,
too. only in a different spirit. Our main
idea of the coming of Christmas nova
days seems to be what it IS going to
cost us. ChriStmas-giving, once regu-
lated by the heart, is in great danger
of being very soon almost entirely regu-
lated by the means-if it has not already
reached that deplorable state. We
have made an actual business of Christ
mas-giving Formerly it was consid-
cred a pleasure to give; now we sit
down and think out our presents as a
matter of duty. We have to give: we
consider it an obligation to give So
and-sO a certain present at Christmas.
Not that we want to do 50: we simply
feel that we must. 'She will give me
something. and. of course. | must give
her sOmcthing,' is the way we coldly
calculate the matter. And then when
we receive the present the first
thought, in nine cases out of ten. Is
whether we have received as much as
we gave. If we have not we feel pro-
volled at our own generosity, and coolly
make d mental conclusion that next
year we viii give Iess.-Ladies' Home

me think so is because IT was such a
good one to Aunt Mildred and Uncle
GeOrge-thOugh he was not my uncle
yet, then-and they say if it hadn't
been for me they wouldn't have had
such a good Christmas. And | reckon
if | hadn't been so anxious to work and
earn something, things never would
have happened just as they did. My
pa died when | was just little fellow,
and my Aunt Mildred earned nearly
everything we had after that, teach
ing music, for my ma was sick nearly
all the time. While my pa lived we
had plenty, but everything he had was
invested in a bank, and the bank failed
soon after he died. People said that if
he had lived the bank wouldn't have
failed; and they think the man that
was in with him cheated my ma out of
what ought to have been hers.
For the last three or four years |
have been earning nickel whenever |
could by carrying parcels or running
errands, or something of that sort; but
last winter l just made up my mind
that great big boy eleven years old
could do something harder than that;
SO Wflen Il Dig SHOW ltlI al week OF TWO
before Christmas | started out to shovel
snow for people. There was Mrs. Bron-
son, living upon Fourth street, that had
always been mighty good about giving
me little Jobs to do. and | went to her
first She let me shovel the snow off
of all the walks for her, and paid me a
good price for it: and then she went
and brought out an Overcoat of Mr..
BrousonS that she said he would not
wear any more. though it was real
good, all but on the sleeves and on the
edge of it. and wanted to know if my
ma could not cut it down for me.
knew ma could do it, for she had made
lots of things for me out of pas old
clothes. and | needed an OvercOat, too
but hated to take such a thing from
a stranger. and my face burned like
fire. But She offered it in such a nice
way. like she was afraid of hurting my
feelings. and her face looked like i
was burning. too, so | thought mayb,
I'd better take ii. and told her | would
take it if she would let me do some
thing to pay for it didn't feel like
could take it for nothing, ii seemed 5,

rick up the stove wood that had been
hauled and thrown in there. so 1t would
not be SO much in the way. | went and
piled up the wood, and she wrapped up
the coat III big paper, 50 no one could
see what it was-I thought that was
nice OF her-and | took it home with
me. When l took it to ma and told her
about it she cried a little. but She said
| did right to take it, and she went
right to work ripping it up to
make over for me. She was ripping
away on it, when all at once She said:

to Mr.. George Bronson, that has worked

Sweet Bells of Christmastide

Christmas bells, chime out triumphant
over land and over sea.
Send your happy tidinES floating
on sweet waves of melody;
Softly tell your tender story,
DER and Ger and Ger again,
GLORY in the highest glory.
Peace on earth, good Will to men.
To some doubling, weary spirit,
Bring gentle. holy calm:
Nav Your notes, on hearts SOre-Wounaed.
Fan like cOn,cCruted balm.
To some Iifc's storm troubled waters
May they whisper Peace, be stun.
And our sleeping souls awaken
With glad, eNultant thrill
On your wings Of music. sweet bells,
Bear our thoughts to Him above.
Teach our hearts to time their pulses
To the rapl rouS psalm of love.
Oh ring out all strife and malice
With the story Of Ills birth.
Ring in Faith, and Hope, and Love.
And peace on earth.

For dear little girls and jollieSt boys,
All that ever were sung or told,
Could into a one big gift be rolled
All the holly and evergreen too
I'd bring the bundle TO you, my dear,
The whole of it straight to you.
Selfsh-to wish it all for one,
The gathered beauty of all the year
Never, never,-for when it was done.
What would you do, my dear:
All, ah how swiftly your thoughts would
go
Out to the little ones far and near,
Who never have seen and never can know
The taste of holiday cheer.
Think Of the million wiStful eyes
That soon would brighten with glad sur
prise
When 1 should bring ii to you, my dear,
To do as you pleased to do.
WOolly wee dogs and china kittens.
All the raclets and bulls and bats.
Baa. baa lambs and purring cats.
Scarlet muffierS and worsted mittens:
All the dollies in all the world,
Blue-eyed, brOwn-eycd. friZZlcd and curlcd:
All the books with pictures. rhymes,
Telling of merrieSt Christmas times
All the story OF peace on earth,
Coming to US with a Savour'S birth.
Yes, will bring it all to you,
The crown Of the closing year.
And when the little beSceching hands
Were held to YOU from lands ana lands,
Your bundle would melt so fast so fast,
That soon we should reach the very last.
So now, have | answered right. my dear
Guessing what YOU would do:

around Aunt Mildred, holding her fast.
She gave little sort of a scream and
tried to get away from him when came
in, and yelled out: " burglars. Help
and picked up the poker and ran at him;
but Aunt Mildred said: stop, stop,
Harry" Then he let her go, and She
sort o laughed and blushed and said:
Harry, this is not burglar, but a
man that is going to be your uncle be-
fore long"
You see, it was this way: They got
to be sweethearts five years ago when
Aunt Mildred was at boarding school,
and Mr.. Bronson-Uncle George it is
now-was tending law school in the
same place. They wanted to marry.
but grandpa said Aunt Mildred was too
young to marry, but he let her CORE
spond with Uncle George after they
both left school. But when Uncle
Georges brother forgot to give him
that letter he waited and waited, and
then he thought Aunt Mildred had quit
writing to him and he went off out
west. He had never told his folks any
thing about having a sweetheart, and
they didn't know what was the matter

/ pocket with other letters, and when it
slipped down out of sight he never
thought of it again.
Aunt Mildred was just like Uncle
George: she thought he had quit writing
to her, and she never said anything
about him. Grandpa died about that
time, and she came to live with us, and
all the money she had was put into the
bank with pas, and lost the same way.
Well. YOU see when Mrs. Bronson got
hold of that letter she sent it to her
brothcr-in-law- [ ncle George.
YOU know-and told him how boy
named Harry Floyd had found it in her
