At last 1t was all o,s.! Christmas, so long in coming, was past and the tired children were already in Dreamland living over again all the days pleasures and surprises and ex- elements.
 In a corner of the room stood the Christ mas tree, dim and desolate in the falnng light of the last expiring candles gaunt skeleton of what 1t had been earlier in the day. Save for the gittering strands of tin sell some inedlble pasteboard ornaments and a few candles In various stages of dissolution there remained nothing of all It's former splendor. That is to say, nothing except one more thing-a solitary Gingerbread RnbDlt, which dangled forlornly on his pink string and wondered what was going to happen next.
 The Gingerbread Rabbit cast his eye Che had but one. and twas made of purple candy) over this scene of desolation and he heayed n great sigh, a sigh in which regret and relief were strangely commlngled. He had enjoyed the day as much as anybody, All that brightness and glitter and the noise from tin trumpets and toy drums were so new and interesting to him that he had been kept in one continual thrill of excitement, twisting and turning on his pink string all day in his anxiety not to miss single thing. It was much like trying to follow the three rings in the circus at once, and besides the rabbit had but one eye.
 But oh, when it came to the stripping of the tree in the evening, how the poor little fellow trembled for his life! One by one he had seen all his friends md relatives pulled from the branches and actually devoured be- fore his very eye. The Gingerbread Man and bis Gingerbread Wife were the first victims, and then came the Candy Elephant and all the rest of that bright throng that had started out together so gaily in the morning. He had seen the Gingerbread Mans head disappear at single bite, two more bites had taken off his legs, and then-but no. 1t was too horrible, even to contemplate They were all gone. all except himself, and even he had been in imminent danger several times when Bobby ''boosted" up his younger brother, but the Rabbit hung on higher branch, just out of reach, and to this alone ho ouad his salvation

 This was too much for the Rabbit, and he snickered outright, but not wishing to hurt the Candles feelings, he recovered his seri- ousness and said: Now, listen to me, my friend, I want to give you a little advice. have had more experience than you; I've been on this tree all day and have seen something of the world. You have said that you were ambitious now, that's just your trouble. Why, heard of candle once who felt that same desire to do things, and who succeeded so well that he burned up the whole tree and himself, and there's no telling where the destruction would have stopped if 1t had not been for the timely arrival of the fire engines"
 "You don't say SOD calculated the Candle.
 "Yes, I do,' retorted the Rabbit "Now, if you had only been contented to shine your little shine to the best of your ability and to make the best of things generally, you would have gotten great deal more pleas ure out of llfe."
 "Well, guess there IS sometnlng Tn tnal' admitted the Candle.
 "Of course there is. Why, man, that's the whole secret of happiness! And as for dying-your end will be easy compared to mlne You are in no danger of being eaten up alive; though, come to think of it, have heard of Candles being eaten; but that was In Siberia or Greenland, or some such place. When your time comes you will simply melt away into nothing without knowing 1t, and then-well there will be lots of Candles after you just as there will be Gingerbread Rabbits after me. But, as l said before, shine your little shine, and make the best of things, and you will be happyp
 The Candle was impressed with this, ana after a little silence he brlghtened up and said:
 "Say, old fellow, I'm going to reform" E "I'm glad to hear it, replied the Rabbit, fervently, "and must say it's high time.
 'Yes, I realize now" began the Candle, but even as he spoke his end had overtaken him, and the rest of his words dwindled away in feeble sputter, and the Rabbit was left alone in darkness.
 "Well, well, poor little chap unused the Rabbit; "he reformed too late!'s

 The brownie was so shaken by his fall that he lay for moment unable to comprehend what had happened. He soon saw that he was free, however, and in joy at his sudden deliverance was about to scamper off, but A great desire to be revenged upon his tor mentor caused him to pause. Ills manly little breast swelled with indignation as ne recalled the shameful manner in which he had been treated, and I am sure he would have demolished the whole study had he been able.
 Ranged about the room on shelves were rows upon rows of bottles and jars, con taining toads, lizards, snakes and other hid- eous reptiles, and the brownie shuddered when he thought how nearly he had met similar fate On the walls were cases filled with brilliant-hued butterflies and moths. each pierced through and through with pin, and suspended from the ceiling were many birds, with outstretched wings and eyes of glass; Books and papers and

Again he sighed, this time with sigh of unadulterated relief. for he felt that for now at least he was safe, and as he signed ne seemed 10 hear behind him sort of plaintiYe snivel. as if In response to his own mournful breeding. Turning quickly he beheld-noth- ing more than an ordinary pink Christmas Candle or, rather, half one!
 Now he had never given the Candles credit for having any feelings or sentiments of their own, but regarded them merely as so many sticks of wax, destined only to give light for others and to burn up in doing so. He was not a little surprised, therefore, to hear the Candle remark the next moment, in soft, low, little volce 'Yes, it's terrible; isn't it? And at this great pink tear rolled slowly down the Candles cheek and con geaed at his feet.

 ''oh. I am so unhappy!' sobbed the Candle.

Why, when I was put on the tree with the rest of my brothers and sisters we looked so fine in our pink dresses that the other candles turned green with envy; yes, some of them even turned blue and purple.

Arrangements for the Leper's Merry
Christmas have been started by Wray

The program, as it stands at pres
ent, will consist of about five musical
numbers followed by an interval when
lemonade Will be sold. After this there
is to come a short dramatic sketch and
a two-act comedy, which will be per
formed by amateurs of this city.
1t is expected from the experiences
of previous years that there will prob
ably be very little expense in the mat

who are connected in the matter, have
always shown themselves very liberia

Stabbed by an Migrate.

Editor Advertiser: I saw an article
in the Sunday Volcano which ran as
follows: Sanford B. Dole is not an
American, never was an American, and
never will be an American. He is OPP
posed to democratic form of govern
ment. He is an enemy to the masses
and a champion of the classes. He is a
weak, vacillating man, untitled to DE
Governor of an American Territory.
Hawaii needs an American for Gov
ernor. President Roosevelt cannot too
quickly crafty the wishes of all Amer
leans on these Islands by giving the
Territory an American Governor. What
does President Roosevelt think about
it?"
beg to enquire if this is the same
Sanford B. Dole who pardoned the edi-
tor of the Sunday Volcano out of the
penitentiary where he had been sen
for libeling dying man? If so il
seems to prove the old saw thai the
easiest way to make a man your life
long enemy is to do him a favor.
