ITO BE CONTINUED
Real Spirit of Christmas Giving

"Our hearts are usually very
much larger at Christmas than
our purses" writes Edward Box
of ''The Christmas that Remains"
in the December Ladies' Home
Journal. 'The desire is to re-
member everybody that we know.
But our means do not generally
allow us to do it. So we often
pass entirely by at Christmas
people to whom a simple Merry
Christmas and nothing more,
would mean a world of cheer and
Observation-Disclosures. Because we
cannot give what we would like to
we think that we should not give
at all. The truth is, whether we
choose to acknowledge it in so
many words or not, that we have
grown SO commercially and so
artifcially minded in this country
that thousands Of us are prone to
measure our Christmas presents
by the yardstick Of intrinsic
value, or by what the recipients
will think Of them. We seem to
have entirely lost sight Of the fact
that we can always give something.
And if we gave that something we
would really come closer to the
real spirit Of Christmas giving. A
few cheerful words filled with that
expression of strong good will,
that is like sweet perfume, have a
meaning that only few realize.
There is nothing So pleasant in
this world as the feeling that one
is remembered, and this a few
written words will often convey
more strongly than a gift. Yet we
invariably put the gift first. Our
remembrance must take some
form, we think, other than a mere
verbal or written expression. And
that is the artificial within us: not
the natural. We seem to refuse
to believe that it is the simplest
things we do that have the great
est influence. It is the simplest
Christmas that remains"

Thad was shown to the south
room at the head of the stairs, and
although plainly furnished, he
could not but notice how clean
and comfortable an appearance it
possessed. Thus pleasantly stu

AIS fastidious tastes in horse
flesh could not be satisfied in
Richmond, so following advice, he
deemed a trip to St. Paul neces-
sary. (St. Paul being a little
larger place than Richmond and
situated just down the river from
Minneapolis.)
After a couple of days spent
amongst the commission men,
learning some of the intricacies of
his profession, and suiting himself
in horses and vehicles, he returned
to his hotel. He soon came to
the conclusion that an hotel was
not just the place for him to
board, and it took a good deal of
advice and another couple Of days
to make proper selection of a
place to live. At the end of this
time he concluded that Mrs. Han

and Mr.. McToy, a local banker,
and that being thus introduced,
she believed him to be all that he
seemed, a gifted conversationalist,
a careful dresser, studiously cor
rect in politeness and habits. She
understood that he was about to
become one of our business men.
AL made it a point to become
quite generally acquainted among
the business men of the town, and
this acquaintance had soon ripened
into friendship with some Of them,
notably Mr.. g. Q. Reyes drug

the medium of the children with
whom he was on especial good

he knew that he had gained many
advantageous steps in the right

the stock is drinking we'll work
up a trife of clover for the sheep,

you didn't have that appearance.
You don't look as though you
drank, or ever got tight. Of course
we haven't anything against a
glass of cider now and again, but
we wouldn't feel just first-rate if
you made a practice Of drinking
anything strong. How is your
temper now, do you suppose you'd
get mad if a COW was to kick over
the milk pail just as you were
bout through with her? Would
you sick the dog on to the sheep
if one of 'em was to bunt you over?
Would you be right handy bout
the house on wash days? Would
you wait for your dinner a bit if
the parson was here? Do you
think you could hell me now and
again at odd times when you
wouldn't be doing much bout the
churnin' and chickens, and in

would you keep the cellar door
