Thrice Happy.

He was a little ragged waif living in a
village Of southern Kentucky. A stran-
ger to actual comfort, it is not to be sup
posed that he was very familiar with the
pleasures of life. One Christmas eve he
was standing before n shop window with
his lean little face pressed against the
pane, %devouring with hungry eyes the
beautiful display within.
There was a lady in the shop, deeply
engaged in purchasing gifts for her small
nieces and nephews. She saw the waif ut
the window-ragged, half-clad, and with
out doubt ha%lf-starved as we'll.
Prudence" said she, in speaking Of the
matter afterward, Knight have suggested
food and clothes. But another idea had
taken possession of me. 1 determined
then and there that that boy should know
the blessedness of happy childhood for one
Christmas ut all events"
On the impulse she called him in. Toys,
a wagon, an iron horse with a flying driv-
er madly sounding a fire alarm, u drum
with gilded sticks, q tin horn, a pack of
frecrackers, things which his poverty
blinded eyes had never before looked upon

may have an incorrigible passion for neck
tiea, but to have his own wife 60 out and
pay out his own money for a tie which he
will wear only on dark nights and when
his coat collar is turned up is what he OBJ
jects to. The trouble being, probably,
that a woman buying something for a man
sees it merely as it looks on the counters,
while the man sees it in it's relation to
himself and to the uses to which it must
be put.
What is needed is Wives information

of the presents they would find accepta-

and weight. The wife would simply have
to join the bureaus subscribers, find her
husbands list, borrow the money from
him and give him a happy surprise on
Christmas. This scheme is worth consid-
ering. 1t ought to take a great burden off
the ladies' minds, anyhow.

Christmas Gifts for Mon.

1t is a great relief to note that some
philanthropic writer's throughout the
country are engaged in telling what sort
of Christmas gifts men would like. The
writers are not all successful, and they
reveal frequently the inspiration of wom-
ans ideas, mans innate modesty and self
effacement precluding him from speaking
for himself.
But somebody should speak for him be-
fore another Christmas has elapsed. 1t
is recorded in the seventh chapter of ..The
Autobiography of Pharaoh l." that the
monarch's'wife gave him for a Christmas
present n necktie which he could not wear
without inviting instructions in all

tie joke began, the Christmas cigar joke

Locomotive Building.

1t is popular belief that certain
shops can build locomotive in "a
working hours. According to Loco.
motive Engineering, however, while
it is possible to assemble the parts
of a locomotive in less time than
this, to build an engine from specifi.
cations requires much longer. The
record in this matter is probably
held by the Baldwin works, which
on their first great Russian order
turned out engines within four
weeks after the order was given,
when European builders, according
to this journal, wanted twice as
many months.
1t takes four pattern makers from
6 to weeks to make the complete
set of patterns for a mogul engine.
Two men will be 10 or 10 days max
ing the pattern for a cylinder and
half saddle and all core boxes, so
that locomotive builders are very
expeditions when they have an en-
CINE ready six weeks after the speci-
tcations have been received, espe.
clally with the diverse forms and
special patterns now in vogue.

He saw four soldiers carrying a

Cant that man walk with assist.

"Oh, no." said the men. He is
dying"
just then a shell exploded near
by, and the four men dropped their
burden and fled. The man who was
supposed to be wounded leaped to
his feet and ran even faster than
the others. Youths Companion.
