The pitch-pine fire lighted up his
bearded and deep-lined face, and made
patterns on the dusky cabin walls.
Outside, the snow swirled and roited,
and the wind piped an accompani-
ment to the dance. The mans body
was in little dreary gulch among
the Idaho Mountains. His mind row.
ed the Christmases of other years.
The corn-cob pipe fell with an un-
needed clatter to the floor as picture
after picture drifted past. the frug-
al, lonesome dinner of bacon, coffee,
and sour-dough bread was undergoing
the process of re-incarnation, and the
pleasant operat ton bred Renaissance.
Particularly vivid in memory was that
Christmas-tree in the church, when
for the first time his eye fell upon
Santa Claus corporeal. 1t came back
with such force as to be a reality. He
experienced again the thrill of seeing
the furry, bearded figure tumble
through the chimney. Crash!
He looked toward the little window
and for moment the confusion of
past and present held him inert.
There was the same furry body, but in
the place of the ruddy, generous
features of the children's saint, the
rickety sash framed the hungry red
mouth and cruel pig-eyes of big
Cinnamon bear.
The miner continued to stare in
astOnishment, until another move on
the part of the intruder brought him
to his senses.
With a blasphemous mixture of
prayer-words and swear-words he
jumped for bis rifle. The report was
deafening in the small room, but be-
fore it had ceased to ring in his ears
he saw the huge figure OF the CHINA
mon, rendered misty and terrible by
the smoke and freight, smashing his
way through the side of the cabin as a
man goes through a thicket. Knife
in hand, Mr.. Man flew for Br'er Bar
while he still had the advantage of the
situation.
And then the ball was on! The
mutually destructive elements rolled
and fought, struck, bit, scratched,
howled, cursed and roared, as suited
their different natures--in the fire
place and under the table; frying pans
and all the other loose household
utensils floating around like scraps of
paper IN a whirlwind, and swelling the !
unholy din withal.
Trapper Jones, coming to pay
Christmas visit, heard the uproar
quarter of mile away and made his
best speed against the storm. On
opening the door Il scene of wreck and
carnage offended his eye.
"Air ye hyer, Bill?"
"Oh, ya'as," came the slow response.
"Im here, all but N wrapper; that's
tored bit, an three of m fingers cum
off durin' the excitement"
"Well, what'n-was yer dom
here ali alone by yerself to raise a row
like that, yer old fool?" said Jones,
Indignantly. striking a match to get

"Well, scalp me-" Jones laconical-
~ expressed himself.

Glow Night Lamp!

II is an established fact that there has
never been night lamp on the market that
was odorless, aud most of the night lamps
that are sold to-day absolutely poison The
air in close room. In placing the GLOW
LAMP upon the market we claim to have
the night lamp that positively emits no
Odor when in operation, and is the only
night lamp that should ever be used when
il is necessary to burn light all night, as
for instance in the nursery or sick-room.
1t is miniature gashouse, gasometer or
gas-burner combined, automatically max
ing and consuming its own gas which, in
the ordinary night lamp, escaped without
being consumed, filling the room with
poisonous yapVr, which, 10 put 1t mildly, is
extremely injurious.
The GLOW LAMP is constructed on
scientific principles, and IL withcut question
the simplest, cleanest, neatest, and cheap
eat night lamp III the murAet; aud combin-
ed with its hygienic qualities, should COM
mend itself to popular favor at once. One
pint Of kerosene, at cost of ABOUT one
cent, will give pure, healthy, clehn light
for two hundred or more hours /. O.,
twenty ten-hour nights.
1t will give the greatest satisfaction in
the sick-room, nursery, bedroom, dark
corners OF closets, anu Is ornamental as
well as useful.
