is recorded in the seventh chapter of 1.-THE
Autobiography of Pharaoh l." that the
monarch's wife gave him for 4 Christmas

first amazed England by pufing tobacco

joke has not-not IL the man knows it. He
may have an incorrigible passion for neck
ties, but to have his own wife go 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 worYan buying something for a man

He was a little ragged waif living in q
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 a 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 tls. waif at
the window-ragged, half-clad, and with
out doubt half-starved as we'll.
Prudence" said she, in speaking of the
matter afterward, might have suggested
food and clothes. But another idea had
taken possession of me. 1 determined
then and there that that boy should know
the lessedness of happy childhood for one
Christmas ut all events"
On the impulse she called him in. Toys,
a wagon, mn iron horse with Il flying driv-
er madly sounding n fire alarm, n drum
with gilded sticks, a tin horn, u pack of
tirecrnckers, things which his poverty
blinded eyes had never before locked upon
in the light of real possession, we're put
into his hands.
There was a kind of awe in his solemn.
earnest eyes," said the lady, 'as though
the joy of possession had stricken him
dumb.
ut was the day after Christmas that 1
came upon him again, hanging about the
streets with that same old look of "a beg
gnr about him. That is, in all but his
eyes; they, 1 think, were never quite the
same again. They fairly shone when he
lifted them to my face in recognition.

was aglow. The shades were thrown up
high and the soft lace curtains parted
wide. The tree in the great parlor of the
house across the street was larger and it
had cOstlier presents on it than my other
tree in the town. And most of the pres
ents were for the little girl in the white
dress and the big pink sash who could be
seen from the street dancing around the
tree, the happiest, sweetest little maiden
in I'LL the world md the light md life and
JOY of the house across the street.
This Christmas time all is dark and
silent and gloomy in the great house
across the street. There are no Christ
mas wreaths in the windows. no ray of
light comes from behind the closely
drawn blinds, no childish voice is heard
within the house. There is no bright and
beautiful tree, but on the spot on which
the tree stood last year there is some-
thing white and as beautiful in its silk
and satin and velvet finish as the skill md
wealth of man can make it. But the sight
of it brought a chill to the hearts of those
who saw it carried into the house on
Christmas eve, and when the eyes of the
mother and father fell upon it their hearts
bled anew.
The passcrsby who saw the bands of
white Guttering from the knob of the door
of the house across the street went on to
their own humber houses thanking God
that their own little ones were left to
them. no matter how little of wealth OF
beauty there might be in their homes.
The poorest house in which there was
the laugh of children was so much less
desolate than the great mansion across
the street in which the child's laugh was
forever still. 1t added to the melody Of
Paradise that Christmas morning. 1t
