PAUL'S NEW YEARS GIFT HE FOUND THE BABY YEAR IN THE
 LIBRARY.

Pauls little visit at grandpa's was at an end, and he had to come home. The butler oepned the door quietly, and looked down at him with twinkling eye, writes Marion Dickinson, in Youths Companion.
 Happy New Year, Jenkins!" and the small man skipped into the hall.
 Happy New Year, sir!' answered the big man.
 Paul tugged away at his rubber boots, but was glad of Jenkins help. See the skates grandpa gave mel" he said proudly displaying the shining treasure. Where's mamma: I want to show 'em to her right away"
 Your mother says you're to go into the library and wait until nurse comes; then you can go up to see her"
 But 1 want to go nowls Paul objected. Nevertheless, he went obediently into the library.
 Backing up to his fathers easy chair, he was just about to make himself comfortable, when there came small shriek from the hall and the rustic of garments, and some body seized him by the coat collar.
 Gracious goodness." nurse panted. "In another second you would have sat downi You gave me turn, Master Paul."
 Whats the matter?" asked Paul, rather indignant at this unceremonious treatment of boy who was old enough to own skates.
 Nurse laughed softly. Turn around and look at the chair," she said. Its another present."
 A large pillow filled the seat of the great chair. and on it lay soft roll of flannel. Paul backed away. What is its" he asked, sturdily.
 Nurse carefully drew down a fold of the flannel, and there was tiny pink face, with blinking blue eyes, mouth like a round O, and no hair to speak of.
 For an instant Paul stared with wide open eyes; then, with a whoop of delight, he dashed into the hall and up the stairs.
 Mamma, mamma," he shouted, ''eome down quick! The little New Years in the library"

AN AMATEUR SANTA CLAUS HIS LOT WAS NOT AN ENvIhBLE ONE
 BY ANY MEANS.

The man who had been selected to be the Santa Claus sat out on the top of the roof in the cold, cold night and looked up at the twinkling stars.
 live got a nice job, I don't think, growled Santa Claus. "I think when it comes to being nice, obliging young man l am certainly the easiest ever. The next time l go to a Christmas house party, why, 1 won't. O, yes. We just have to have a Santa Claus, Mir. Everts, to slide down the great, wide chimney in the hack hall. There is a ladder fixed there, and you can come down easy. The other men just won't do it, and hate to ask you, but you are so obliging.'
 Q, I'm obliging all right. I'm real sweet thing, and I'm just tickled to death to sit up here like north pole explorer on the warm side of an iceberg. All nice and warm downstairs and that idiot Fleming is dancing all over the shop with Miss Rob erts. The other fellows arc sitting on dark stairs and making goo-goo eyes, and I'm on top of the house playing Santa Claus.
 70, this is just too lovely for any use. I just dote on this game. But if anybody ever comes up sudden like in the night and asks me if it's nice to be Santa Claus, I'll tell them that when it comes to good things being Santa Claus is certainly the butt end.
 ''I wonder how many years have to roost up here on this perch anyhow. l was to sit near the chimney so that could hear that gang of trundle-bed trash howl that song about Welcome. welcome, dear old Santa Claus We'll, not sound do hear.
 "I believe this is one of those snipe hunt ing propositions. They get me up here and then skip. Wonder they don't set fire to the house to make it more pleasant for your nice old uncle Santa. Wish they would. It'd be warmer"
 A voice from the trap door in the roof: MT. Everts, Mir. Evcrts, we've been wait ing half hour and the children have sung until they're hoarse. Why. Mir. Eycrts, you're at the wrong chimney Chicago Daily Tribune.

A PLACE FOR SANTA CLAUS.
The Storp of the Old Saint should Be
 Told in Merru Mood.

With the approach of Christmas arises the problem discussed by modern mothers and child-students in regard to the fiction of Santa Claus. Is it wrong to deceive a child, and will he not lose faith in the par ent when he finds out that Santa Claus does not existg The best advice we have ever seen on the subject was an editorial printed in that excellent magazine for moth CTS as well as teachers, the Kindergarten Review. The editor defends Santa Claus. The trouble, where there is any, arises, she says, from efforts to give the old story a realistic setting and to reply to questions with too ingenious fbs. We put too little fun and fantasy into our telling of the Christmas tale," she writes; and again: Told as such tales ought to be told-in a merry mood, with laughing mien and won- der tone, with funny winks and shrugs us parryings of difficult questionable tale is harmless enough" When the child dis covers that santa Claus is not real, he need not feel shock any more than when he suspects that there Are no fairies or goblns. But the parents who raise this difficulty are usually those who disapprove of fairy sto- ries. We are glad that we have such au. thority for retaining the Santa Claus myth" for old and young enjoy the merry 'make-belicve." And when the child out grows it VIC can afford to let 1t go. One Christmas story more wonderful and super natural he can never outgrow-that Of the Babe and the Star and the Angcls.-Con- grcgationalist.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
They Should Go Only Where Our Hearts
 Prompt the Sendinq.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Edward Box writes in vigorous deprecation of the complicating of Christmas. Much as we need simplicity in all the phases of our iv- ing" he contends, 'sits greatest need is sometimes felt at Christmas. And 1t seems a pity that we cannot make a beginning there. We could if we would simplify this question of presents; if we would leave out of our consideration all but the natural promptings of our hearts. If ever material considerations should be dismissed from our minds and lives it should be in connection with Christmas. If ever our friends should see our hearts-our real inner selves-it should be on Christmas day. Not that we should be other than our real selves on other days. But as it is, we are not our actual selves on the day of all days when we should be. See how we strive that our present of this year shall surpass the one we gave last year. See how instinctively we think of the material value of what we give, and actually of what we receive, See how we wrong our
 selves by leaving needful things undone and inviting illness because we feel we must give something of our own making to friend, when really sigh goes into each stitch, instead of being frank with ourselves, and pleasing our friends infinitely more by being frank with them, and purchasing something at far less cost to our health. Every woman knows what I mean by this; the great evil of making things for Christmas presents when really neither the time nor the strength can be spared. In much the same way we complicate Christmas at the table" "

A Month of Celebration.

Perhaps no nation or religion enjoys New Years day more than the Chinese. They celebrate their feast in the early part of February, and the festivities last a month. Beating of drums and firing of crackers, with decoration of bunting and flags, usher in this day, when the people visit their joss houses, worship their gods, and with oriental ceremony shake hands with "A Happy New Year" In preparation for this event Chinaman tries to square his ac counts with all the world, and Chinaman who owes debts at the beginning of the New Year forfeits his right to be called a gentleman.

A Good New Years Resolution.

I have never been much of hand at making resolutions; still less at keeping them; but if were to throw some of my ideals into that form for a New Years gift to my friends, 1 suppose it would run something like this: Resolved, To live in the active voice, intent on what can do, rather than what happens to me in conse- quenee; in the indicative mood, concerned with what is, rather than what might be more to my liking; in the present tense, for the future; in the first person, criti- cising myself, rather than condemning others; in the singular number, obeying my own conscience, rather than the de mands of the msny.-William De Witt Hyde, in Boston Congregationalist.
