| Cheer Stove company, of What Cheer,
Iowa. In casting about for market the
Twin Cities were visited, and the man
ageMeM after investigating the grow
ing Northwestern field, DECIDED to remove
the whole plant, and the works arc now
busy day and night with orders, and an
enlargement of the establishment is con-
templated. The rapid movement of set
tiers to the vast Northwest country
tributary to this locality has created
large demand for house furnishing goods.
and stoves and heaters are among the
necessities of the well regulated house
hold in the North, and the What Cheer
people feel that they can help supply
the demand even with large Eastern
houses represented in the local trade.
Fred c. Genge & Co. devote tneir eff
forts to the making of upholstered furni-
. ture. occupying a large three-story
building, to which they have just COM
pleted a sidetrack from the Transfer, so
as to bring the cars for loading and I'M
leading right to the doors Of their fac
tory The firm makes all sorts of up
nolstered goods including parlor furni-
ture in leather, plush and silk, SOFA beds,
rockers, sofas, couches, ETC., of stand
ard styles and special unique designs to
order. No detail of workmanship, taste
and style is overlooked as they must
meet the styles and competition of the
older Eastern houses. With present adj
equate facilities and understanding the
needs of the market the firm is prepared
to execute all demands for staple goods.
1t was a venture when V. o. Whitcomb
and associates established the Northetn
Shade factory at st. Anthony Park. but
a belief in the locality and knowledge
of the business have won the concern a
well-earned reputation, of which S22GO9
order for goods from San Francisco is
recent evidence. The factory building is
ECO by so feet, of three floors, exclusive
OF two store houses and paint house.
Thirty persons are employed and the out
put is about 10000 yards week of cur
tains, ranging in width from go to 80
inches. Cotton goods are bought by the
ear load, and transformed into curtains,
representing no less than fifty different
colors, of which green in various shades
is the standard. Fashions change, how
ever, in curtains as in everything else.
Just at this time the call is buff and
gray for store windows, instead of blue.
An order came in recently from some
patriotic firm for q supply of red, white
and blue curtains. Red is the most ex-
pensive color. the materials used to Sc
cure a permanent red being more costly
than any other color. The lead-oil fin
ished curtain is the standard, but there is

coming as exhibitors or with their plants
will only be a question of time. The fact
already mentioned of Eastern factories
having already established branches here
indicates what may be expected. There
is an immense growing market tributary
to St Paul, the location offers qnsur-
passed railway facilities, not to speak of
the advantages to operatives to build
lip homes of their own. Midway between
two great cities, with ready access to
both, the manufacturers of St. Anthony
Park realize that the welfare and con-
tent of employees must be considered In
the development of their business. An
organizatio which has worked so har-
noniousIy together in a business way
and with such concern for all with whom
they are associated deserves success.
They realize, too, that great works are
not performed alone by strength, but by
perseverance,. They are not only gong
20 win success, but what is more and
greater, they are going to deserve 1t.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
Pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-cvery vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

thinks I have enough to do with the

The faded little woman heard a step
on the walk and hustled her treasures
back into their hiding place. The door
flew open and John appeared covered
with snow. He merrily kissed the wife
and boy and was duly presented to My
Lady, at which he subsidized in great
confusion. There was some little talk
about the approaching Christmas and
when a few momenrs later the wife
went out to put the boy in bed, John
said hastily:

things in the house.

warmly with moisture in her eyes.
Then she added hastily, "for the price.

compelled to seek the shelter of a cot

poorer district of the city, until the

the atmosphere was that of the most

cellent taste displayed, notwithstand-
ing all the cheapness, and everything
was neat and tidy and the atmosphere
was distinctly that of a home. All
these things suggested themselves to
her as she seated herself in the modest
little parlor. A sturdy boy of three,
seated at a table making marks IN a

during the next week and kept much
Christmas morning when Stephen
Wells rose he found a chair standing
close to his bed and from one corner
hung n of his socks. Investigating
in amazement he discovered crowded
into it two pair of knit socks and pin
ned to them was the following note:
Dear Stephen: i"1 wanted to give
you something that was my own hand
iwork and that cost me something of
time or sacrifice to get. I can do so
little that I could think of nothing ex-
cepting to knit you some socks like
grandma used to knit So here they
are-not much, excepting a love-token
from your wife,"
The man went to the window and
looked out into the vista of sparkling
nov for a long time. When he pro-
ceeded with his dressing there were
tears in his eyes. He went straight to
his wife and gathering her in his arms
kissed her again and again.
There were several surprises at the
Wells home that day. The formal
course dinner was supplanted, much to
the chefs disgust, with a genuine old
fashioned turkey dinner; the house was
resplendent with holly and mistletoe,
and in the evening there was the mer-
riest sort of a Christmas tree, loaded
with good things. The nieces from the
country voted that it was the %jolliest
Christmas they had w spent.

SEPARATION came there was another jolly
Christmas. My Lady had sent all the
materials for the most gorgeous dinner
that ever was served, from an eighteen
pound turkey to plum pudding and
loads of candy for the children, besides
a wonderful train of automatic cars for
the boy who wrote to Santa Claus.
Society wonders why it lost Mrs.
Wells and why the Wells gave up their
mansion on the avenue and moved to
the cosy home-like house in the
suburb. The business world wonders
why Stephen Wells retired so sud
denly from active business just after
making plans for widening and extend
ing his operations. A certain little
woman who used to look faded but now
is quite fresh and rosy wonders what
good angel arranged for the breaking
down of Mrs. Wells carriage in front
of her door and what there was in the
brief stay that gave the visitor such a
sustained interest in her affairs and
Johns. For John now occupies a very
important and well-paid position Sc

It is well worth the money, I assure
you, and your wife will be the happiest
woman in the world, l am sure"
A half hour later she entered her
husbands library and said: Stephen,
I have been thinking it over and I real
ly would like to have the girls down
for the holidays. I have decided to
decline all invitations for the Christ
mas week and I think we can make it
pleasant for them-and as you said,
they may bring some of the holiday
cheer into the house."

at her in some surprise, but evidently
pleased, 81 will write them tonight"
AS he rose from his chair he uttered
an exclamation: "Confound that rheu-
matism. l believe it is getting worse.
I half believe if I wore home-knit socks
like old Grandma Black used to knit
for me that it would help. This city
made hosiery never comes up to the
mark set by the old-time home-knit
socks"

Hunting for a Christmas present
For Zach blooming friend you know
Is a task that's far from pleasant
When your funds are running low.
It is hard to make selections

When you've got to make twelve sections

They don't know how ill they'll fare!

Christmas tide has come again and
all the little children are thinking
about Santa Claus, and some are won
dering if he will come to their house
this time. There is hardly any rea-
son for any child to believe that he
will not come. A good many things
change in this world, but on Christ
mas Eve merry old Santa Claus is al
ways heard of-his hair as white, his
nose as red, as ever; his bag of toys
just as full; his cry down the CHM
ney of ANY good children here?" just
as loud.
Kris Kringle is another name for
Santa Claus, and a very good name
too; and stockings are not the only
things that hold. toys. Little German
peasant children often set their wood
en- shoes on the hearth On Christmas
eve, pretty sure of a cake and a toy;
for children, however poor their par
ents may be, are made much of in
Germany. And in some places in Eu-
rope a curious thing happens. The
mother. the father, and the rest of
the family sit about the fire together
on Christmas Eve.
All the room is tidy. The children,
half hopeful, half terrified, draw close
to mother, father, or grandmothers, as
they hear a sound of trumpets or
horns outside. Then the mother says:
What can this be-" and opens the
door. AS she does so, a number of
very strange looking figures come in
amongst them one person dressed in
white, with wings, and a great basket
in his hand, and another in black,
with a bunch of rods.
God bless you all,' says the figure
in white. "Are there any good chill
dren here?"
care there any bad children here?"
asks the black figure.
my children are all pretty good,'
the mother
II am glad to hear it," says the
white visitor. II have gifts here for
good children"
"Stop!' the black figure cries; "they
are not good. Hans struck his broth
er yesterday. Gretchen does not know
her catechism, and Petra broke a
piece from the Sunday cake as it sat
to cool on the window-sill. I will
leave rods to whip them all with"
The children begin to cry. The
white figure spreads out his hands and
says:
THE little mes will be better next
year. Then he takes one of the rods
from he black visitor and drives him
out. The visitors play on the instru-
ments they have brought, and the
whole family sing Christmas hymns.
The angelic visitor then empties his
basket on the table, and leaves there
a great number of iced cakes, gilded
nuts, gingerbread horses, and wooden
toys, and then departs. The mother
tells the children to be good all the
year, lest the o should really be left
for them on the next Christmas, and
al. have supper and go to bed.
Christmas day is a happy one for
most children all over the Christian
world, and I hope that because this is
so they will remember that this day
is kept because eighteen hundred and
eighty-one years ago, Jesus, who said,

them not, to come unto me, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven was first

CHRISTMAS
JOHN CASTOR

My Lady rose from the table and
swept gracefully from the dining
room, statuesque and beautiful, as
always. At the door she turned and
said:
"Why certainly, have them down for
the holidays if you think they would
enjoy it.. My time will be so fully oc-
cupied, however, that I will not have
much of it to devote to them-and our
holiday atmosphere is not of the sort
they are accustomed to in the country,
I fancy" This with a smile denoting
well-bred acquiescence but absolutely
devoid of warmth.
The man behind her, gray and a
trife bent, with tired eyes, deep wrin-
kles in his face, inclined his head with
a half sigh and replied:
"Thank you, my dear, and I guess
you are right. It would be anything
but a merry Christmas, I fear, for the
girls here. We seem to have lost the
spirit of the season. I thought per-
haps they might bring a little of the
holiday cheer into the house-but you
are right, it would only spoil their
season." \
Insooth it was little of the holiday
cheer that the great house had ever
known. Long, long years ago, just
after they were married and when they
had lived in the humber home in the
suburbs Christmas had been a season
of holly and mistletoe, of love tokens
and surprises, of turkey and cranberry
sauce and plum pudding. Especially
after baby came there had been some
gorgeous celebrations with Christmas
trees and Santa Claus and all the
things so dear to the heart of child
hood. But when the little one died the
shock and sorrow and the disappoint-
ment and the "reminiscences were so
keen that it was simply impossible to
return to the old habits and ways of
which the little one had been so es-
sential a part. They had cven shrunk
from the ordinary manifestations of
mutual affection and companionshp,
which served as a poignant reminder
of the loss each felt so deeply in their
very different ways.
Something of all these things was in
the mind of each that December even
ing a week before Christmas as they
sat in the magnificent drawing room,
he half reading his newspaper and she
idly turning the pages of a magazine.
Presently she rang for a servant and
ordered her carriage.

shade of disappointment in his voice.

mittee. However, if you have other
plans it is not at all important"
"No," he replied, 81 have no other
plans. I have a trial balance to go
over, come to think of it."
But his eyes looked more weary and
more sunken as she left the room. AS
she turned to wave him a good-na-
tured adieu he arose to go to his Ii
brary and she caught the expression
and her eyes contracted with a puz-
zled look. -
