If all the little fctious, fairy tales
and fancies dear to children were to be
given up, what would become Of the
imaginations Of the coming genera
ton? We have been called a practi-
cal people. So we are. II anything,
too practical AS we grow older the
realities OF life crowd thick and fast
upon US. Why then seek to destroy
one OF. the most beautiful ideals OF
child life?
Let the little ones hang up their
stockings on Christmas eve. Let them
believe lin the dear old white bearded
man who is one Of their happiest IL
lusions, and, above all, let them be
real children while they may. not min
iature men and women, tired OF the
ideal side of life before they leave tho
nursery for the schoolroom.

truest mother can with perfect JUS

(For the Children.)

The Barnes children couldn't have
any Christmas this year. They live
in the country, and there were trees
enough, to be sure. But there was
nothing to put on one to make it look
"sparkly," as tree ought to look, and
there was not a penny to spend for
tree trimmings.
The Barnes children, however, had
a jollier time than they had ever had
with a tree. Joe said so, and George
said so; too; and Grace and Winnie
agreed with them. This is how it
was done. A delightful young auntie
lives with them. They call her the
Ladyswith a Bright Idea. She always
has new bright idea just in the nick
of tlmFt but this year it did seem as if
the idea Was brighter than ever. It
fairly shone.
"Wem give the presents in funny
way" She said to the children. eyes.
We'll give them in two or three funny
ways. You'll see!" y.
There was very mysterious feeling
in the air Christmas morning. Every
body leked at everybody else, and then
they al smiled. Something good was
going to happen. When the breakfast

PICKING PLUM PUDDINGS. -
lions of dear children, and-a secret
Santa Claus is in as much of hurry
for Christmas eve you are.
The plum pudding orchard had hun
dreds and thousands of trees in it. The
way the trees came to bear plum pud-
dings was this: They were grated.
The bread-fruit trees furnished gratis
for plum pudding dough, and gratis
from rasin grape vines, citron trees
and current bushes supplied other
"fixings. The birds brought oak and
holly leaves and Christmas berries for
decorations. The sun Drowned the
puddings just right and the leaves on
the plum pudding trees turned snowy
white just in time to furnish plum pud-
ding bags-one for every pudding and
not one to spare. The stems grew into
pudding bag strings. The trees bent
low with their weight Of puddings. The
air smelled as sweet as a thousand
Christmas dinners all in one!
When Santa Claus had pulled all the
puddings from the trees new ones
sprouted-for birthdays and next
Thanksgiving.
Jingle, jingle, tinkle, tinkle! Santa
Claus reindeer stamped their little feet
until all the bells on their harnesses
jingled and tinkled again, while wait
ing for Santa Claus and the thousand
fairies who helped him to load the
puddings into his sleigh to carry them
to the Boy Proof Pantry Of Ten Thou
sand Shelves. Some fairies, when the
first sleigh load was on it's way to the
pantry, gathered the small piles of
puddings into one great heap. Then
along came the bad boy fairy, tied two
dozen puddings together by the pud-
ding bag strings and fastened them to
his kite, which drew the long string Of
puddings away up into the sky.
One fairy, leaning backward to watch
the kite, lost his balance and fell
against the small mountain Of pud-
dings. They began to roll and roll
and chased each other and chased us,
hut they were not hurt one bit. Santa
Claus laughed louder than ever when
he came back and saw the fun and ne

1--WE had very good house that
night and felt little encouraged. AS
I stood looking out of the peephole in
tho curtain, the property boy brushed
against me.
Beg pardon he said, hurriedly,
but I've been workin' so hard an
nothin' to eat so that I'm as weak as a
rat. I've had no supper ~s -

supper, said.

a sandwich
He took the money with a grateful
look anu disappeared.
THE play went On. So did he, for
that matter, for he played two parts,
poor little soul!,
AT the end of the third act he
knocked at my dressing room door.
Say, you're Miss Hallett, amt
yer?' II
Yes
We'll, got somethin' want to say
to yer on the quiet
II finished dressing and came out.
You certainly was good to me- he
said with grin, an now it's turn
about.
What do you mean?'
Just this. The boss-the manager,
l mean-just sent me up to the hotel to
get five dollars changed into pennies
an nickels an ten cent pieces
We'll, what has that to do with
me?'
:. Plenty! He's a-makin- up salaries
out front in the Office, an he's a.
langhin' with another feller. He's go
ing to pay you your salary in pennies
an nicltels an dimes
II cont believe it,
well, you can. l heard him tell
the, other feller, an they think it's a
great joke. He's down on youfor some
reason or other. Don't gimme away.
And SO he disappeared again.
$50 this was the managers con-
temptible revenge.
Twenty dollars in nickels and pen
nies!
II called the stage manager.

Clarke I said, for shant go on until

An Item for Shoppers.

Ladies who go shopping have little
idea OF the cost of their trip, even IN
such q minor detail as the cost o1
paper for the packages they have sent
home. a Baltimorean has recently
compared the weight Of paper with the
food supplied to the purchaser. In one
days purchases it is said that the
paper wrapping amounted to about 10
per cent OF the total. In a list OF sup
plies costing about $1.40 he found that
the paper which was weighed with the
provisions cost 14A cents.

CHRISTMAS VERSES.
(FOr Little Folks.)

If I Were He. and He Was Me.
IT were only Santa Claus.
And Santa Claus was me,
I'd show to him just what good
Old Santa I'd be. =
I'd always bring the kind of toys
And story books for him;
I'd find his stocking ev'ry year,
And fill it to the brim.
This year I'd bring book or so
On how we conquered Spain,
Or how boy pursued his foe
Across the Klondyke plain.
And boxing gloves-and, say, guess
A pistol would be fine
The Appeal., 1899-12-23


To Klondyke with. And then-oh, yes.
A wheel for ninety-nine.
I'd bring leather suit and hat
The kind that cowboys wear.
OF bowie knives and things like that
He'd have a lot to spare.
I'D fill his stocking then with all
The candy it would hold,
And where the packages were small
I'd fill in round with gold.
And when they saw how good l was,
How happy folks would be
II were only Santa Claus
And Santa Claus was me.
Little Sisters Dilemma.
Now, I like things to run with, and
things to swing and pound,
And you like dolls and dishes and
things for sitting round;
And every year there's books for you,
for me a jolly game,
Just how did Santa Claus find out we
didn't want the same?
1t isn't till we're sound asleep that
Santa Claus begins,
And wouldn't look very diff rent with
the blankets to our chins;
