Decd y an Unknown.

bundles.
An expression Of bitter dependency and
an empty trouser leg pinned to his side told
the story of his pitiable condition Often.
he was jostled by the hurrying crowd, but
did not move or remonstrate.
A bronzed-looking man with q soft hat
stopped short as he noticed the cripple's:
face, and, after regarding him moment.
said:
Where will you pass Christmas, my
man7"
With wave Of his hand toward the:
street the cripple answered the question
=. His QuesttOner looked at him few mo-
ments in silence: and then said:
Come with me, old fellow. I'll buy you a.
Christmas present. . ...
A curious crowd followed the cripple and
his benefactor. They were rewarded, for
q few minutes later the cripple was in a.
state street store being fitted with an arti-
nc1al limb. AS luck would have it, one was
found which met requirements and the
cripple left the store with a substitute for
the limb, the loss Of which accounted for
his condition. And in addition he clasped a
hve-dollar note in his hand and wore an
expression of renewed hope on his face.
The cripple spent the day in q lodx1ne
mouse, but Christmas gift had brought
with 1t hope and comfort that brighten
even those surroundings, while his benefac-
tor had gone his way, refusing to tell his
name or the motive which actuated him to

the days of kits boy reaches the age
when he yearns with his whole soul after
any toy or contrivance that will test his
muscular skill or endurance. At this age
an appropriate present would be a rawhide
or rope lariat, such as is used by the Buff
falo Bill riders. A pair of hand or arm
stilts will be received with equal favor,
and in the same category comes a new
fishing rod, snow shoes, tennis racket, golf
clubs, good bell, lamp or cyclometer for
his wheel, or even a live pet, a new dog, a
pair Of rabbits or guinea pigs something
that he can pet and train for all his own.

learned no lesson from life, and seemed to
have exhausted in their youth all pleas

Nothing is more deplorable than life
with no object to live for. The fact that
we have tasks each day to do. something
