rapher's nimble fingers had constructed
a number of dainty gifts out of airy lit
tle% nothings found in her workbag.
The prettiest of them all was a pin
wheel cushion, painted with roses and
forget-me-nots, and stuck full of bright,
shining pins. This was for the miner,
who, she privately believed, used pins
occasionally in making his toilet, hav-
ing no one to sew on his buttons Per-
Ehaps it was for that reason she gave
him the. choicest of her little collection;
or, perhaps, she had other reasons. It
is so hard to tell why a woman does GER
tain things.
With her presents in a little basket,
she stole out into the hall where. by the

pity. Then and there he decided that
the nugget should go into her Christ

over her period Of enforced idleness
or to pay the little brothers passage to
Cheyenne.
All fthat day he thought about her
and the brave fight she was making to
support the boy and herself, and the
more he thought the more he longed to
take her into his arms and tell her that
henceforth his strong arms and willing
hands would fight the battles of life
for her. In order to do this the miner
would have to overcome his natural
timidity and fear of the gentler sex,
and it was doubtful if he could ever get
up sufficient courage.

A GREAT SCHEME.

How One Wife Managed in Christmas.
Presents for Her Husband.

who was outlining her campaign of
Christmas shopping.
"Why not?" asked her companion.
II bought his present four years ago.,
and this will be-let me see-the fifth
time have given it to him.
"Why, what do you mean?"
'WeH, I gave him half a dozen fine

they were altogether too good for
everyday use, so he asked me to put
them away for him. Next Christmas,
when I was wondering what [ could
get for him, I happened to think of
those handkerchiefs. There they were,
at the bottom of the drawer. took
them out and put them into differ
ent kind of box and gave them to him
on Christmas morning"
':And he didn' know the difference? p
''Bless you, no! He was perfectly
delighted. After he had shown them
around he asked me to put them away
for him, and, of course, he never asked
for them again.

because I've never had as much shop
ping money as I wanted, and these
handkerchiefs have been quite saving.
suppose he thinks he has two or three
dozen handkerchiefs put away some
wh ere, but he'd never think to ask for
them. They're too fancy for him."
well, I think it's shameful to treat a
man that way. You're almost as bad as

Christmas he bought her sofa for
Christmas present, and she declares
that he's the only person that ever used

mas thet they must all hang up their
stockings by the big hall fireplace the
boarders laughed.
The two schoolma'am from the
east were especially mirthful; the
young lawyer from Ohio unbent and
smiled broadly; the owner of the Sue
cess mine laughed aloud, big, hearty
laugh, and even the little stenographer
smiled. It was the first time she had
done so for week, for she had lost her
position. Her employer, for political
reasons, being obliged to give the posi-
tion to constituent, there she was,
hundreds of miles from home with a
slim purse and no certainty of getting
work for weeks at least. Truly laugh
ter and she were at outs. The mine
owner, casting sleeps eyes at the
stenographer, whom: he admired more
than any woman he had ever known,
said it would take all the toys in
Cheyenne's shops to fill his stocking,
and he wondered if she cared for him
enough to fill it. He was sole owner of
the Success, an empty honor SO far,
as the mine had only been successful
in Disappointing all his hopes of for

he found soon after purchasing the

His usefulness to cover every corner of the
land. 4S
I've noticed, as I've looked about on Christ
mas days gone by,
A lot of little children who have failed to
catch his eye, ss
Who when the Yule was at its height had
not single toy
Or bit Of peppermint to fill their little souls
with joy.
And there have been some persons who
have ventured to remark
OF credence in his being they had not the
slightest spark,
For had there been person of his kind
There'd be some signs of presents in the
novels of the poor.
Which is a point he'll have to meet, with
many of that sort,
If ever he shall find himself haled up be-
fore the court.
But I, WhO've always found him most at
tentive unto me,
Am certain that he does exist and works
most faithfully.
But certain too am that in these Christ
masses of late
He's found his work. unaided. for his
strength by far too great
And hence think that he'd do we'll to form
company, .. -,e
And everywhere throughout the land to
place an agency.
And all who love him for his labors in the
days now past ~,
Can put their names down in his books-the
stock should go right fast.
It doesn't seem that it could meet with
failure, just because
They must be few who would not take
stock in old Santa Claus.

"A year. a year, q: golden year is born!'
Then all the fecting shadows fade away,
And mid the old years twilight, dim and

And wish that every heart might wake and

Another year!
So full Of hope and trust the soul should be-,
So glad to feel newborn energy.
Yet those there are who tread the old-time

Remembering the griefs of vanished days.
Give such glad hearts, o Lord, Thy balm

And let them taste the joys of this new

The way is light: the happy bells now ring,
And every heart should gladly wake and.

But Once q Year.

Life is but game of chance,
Full of ups and downs,
Full Of dirge and full of dance,
Full of smiles and frowns;
One day full of gladstone cheer,
Next day full of ills;
Christmas comes but once year,
Then the Christmas bills!

Malaria Disarmed of It's Terrors.

Malaria, that fell atmospheric

A boy on passing John p Kline's
place of business yesterday, saw
what he thought good chance to
get him some pecans, as there was
"a big box full IN front as a
sign, and, seeing no one looking, he
took out a handful and started on,
but Kline was on the inside watch
ing his belongings on the outside,
and he made a dive for the boy and
the boy ran, but was soon oyertak-
en- and brought back anO compro-
missed by paying Kline a nickel.
This should be a good lesson to him
to keep his hands of things that do
not belong to him, and then he will
not have to run or be humiliated by
being caught and made to deliver.
