Were Too Useful.

They were talh4Ds about Christmas

when father came in. Then we
changed the subject just a little bit,
because 1t was fathers presents We
were discussing. Father sat down by
the stove and rubbed his hands-he
had just been out at the barnard a
queer expression slowly settled upon
upon his features.
Say, mother, and Ned. and GIRLS
he said. L don't want any on We to
get me any presents. 'Taint no use.
you know"
why, father?" said Lena, in an ag-
grieved voice, I'VE always get you use
full presents, don't we? l don't myself
believe in things that are not useful"
Fathers eyes twinkled. Yes" he
said, but l sometimes think they are
just a little too useful, you know"
Nell shrugged her shoulders impa-
Uiently, but mother said: Let father
have his little joke. What is it this
time, father?"
The old gentleman, having warmed
his hands, settled himself back COM
fortably in his big chair, and his eyes
twinkled more than ever.
