Joy OF CHRISTMAS.
Spirit That Accompanies the Little
Gifts That Bring Glndncss to
the Heart.

A good part of the joy of Christ
mas consists in the thoughtfulness
and self-sacrifice that go into the
preparation of the gifts for that hap
py day. If you could look into hum
dreds of thousands of homes this
week you would see fathers and
mothers and brothers and sisters
planning how to make the gifts that
will gladden. the hearts of those dear
to them, says the Boston Waterman.
More often than not the eNpendi-
lures that parents make for these
purposes involve self-denial on their
part. They have to give up some
thing they would like to have in or
der to make the children happy. And
how the little ones who have man
aged to save trifle during the year
calculate upon spending it to the
best advantage. "Oh, dear!" they
often think to themselves, "how
many presents / should like to make,
but how hard it is to make the dol
lar go around" Some of the gifts,
however, that bring the utmost glad
ness to parents heart are the little
things wrought with love by the
hands of the children-the book
mark, or the crochet work, that the
girls work on in secret, or the tool
box or shelf that the boys make In
their spare moments. Such gifts fre-
quently have a quality that the most
costly presents lack. The aroma OF
some gifts cannot be bought with
gold.

"Who and what is he?" Mr.. Gennis-
ter demanded, sternly.
"Me son Johns littlest bye, sir, 60
in on four year old-an' come over
afore l knowed ye was comm home,
to spnd Christmas day wild his

would be caused by that ridiculous
myth-that cruel deceit of "Santa
Claus" Now, there was that little
chap upstairs
And Mr.. Gennister felt sorry, felt
positively uncomfortable as he
thought of the bitter grief which
would come to that child on his
awakening.
AT last he got up and put on his coat
and overeoat. 1t was not long walk
to the village and he felt, since he had
given Jane such short notice of his
coming, that he owed it to her to get
few toys for tf.e youngster - who
was really in no way 10 blame for
being there. But Mr.. Gennister did
wish that Jane had been less consci-
entious and had attended 20 providing
for the little chaps Christmas - even
if she had been obliged to leave those
fragrant mince pies unmade!

She was amazed, of course, ane
aghast that Mr.. Gennister should have
been so bothered by "the bye" And
she Immediately carried the child away
to her own domain--the kitchen. But
Willie had no mind to give up his new
found playmate, and watching his OPP
portunity he slipped away from Ellen
and reappeared a "AIitter Desnitter's"
side.
Mr.. Gennister put down his book
and looked with some amusement at
the persistent child. But Ellen had
missed him, and quickly arrived upoa
the scene, whereupon Willie set up =
howl and clung to Mr.. Gennister with
all his force.
There, there--leave him with me,
Ellen. He'll be good in here, and you
go get the dinner" said the master.
And the maid departed, marveling.
Oh, but Willie had a r,lyal time that
day, and Mr.. Gennister nad some good
eXercise-and some new sensations,
too! They dined together as they had
breakfast-d, with Noah and his family.
And then, after Ellen had everything
washed up and put away, she appeared,
all cloaked and ready to take Master
Willie home.
1t was difficult to persuade him to
'be good bye" and go; he evidently
was well content to stay where he was.
But finally the idea of showing all the
beautiful toys which Santa Claus had
brought him, to "mommer, pepper an
the chiller" prevailed, and Willie con-
sented reluctantly to have them packed
up and to go.
'Goo-by, Mitter Dennitter; Willie
come soon aden!" was his shrill fare
well. Then silence settled on the bach
elor's home, and with sigh of relief
Mr.. Gcnnister picked up his book and
settled himself before the fire.
But somehow he could not fix his
mind on what he read, and his eyes
would wander from the printed page.
Hello! there's poor old Noah or
one of his family! Iwonder if you feel
lonely, too?" he said as he picked up
the forlorn little figure and set it be-
fore him on the mantelpiece.
"Welcome back, Mr.. Gcnnister, aud
nope you We Hdu merry SnIlStHdS!
was young Mortimer's greeting<o his
employer upon Mr.. Gennister's re-
| turn.
Tom, the Office boy, laughed silently
and looked up to see young Mortimer
''annihi.ated; but to his amazement
Mr.. Gennister, after his first habitual
frown, smiled and actually seemed
amused.
"Well, most unexpectedly. I did
have, rather!" was the enigmatical
reply.
Later in the day he said to young
Mortimer: "You have children in your
family, ina gine?"
Young Mortimer laughed.
"We.l. sir. there are nine of us, and
I'm the eldest of the lott"
"Ah." Mr.. Gennister said. thought

Through the gllstening glory of moonllt air
When frost through the night was steal
ing,
rode to the rush of glorious pair
One night long ago, with my beautiful
Claire,
As the Christmas bells were pealing.
The night was sparkling sharp and still,
The snow held the earth in its keeping,
While under Its mantle o'er vale and hill.
BY the banks of each river and ice-bound
rill
The unblossomed flowers were sleeping.
Roy Griffith was out with his dappled grays,
And Fanny Cremorne in his cutter,
And wild Willie Ford with his blooded bays
And that dashing beauty, Miss Kate Du-
Pays
A trihe too utterly utter.
Now gray grows white and bay horse
fades.
But mine showed beauty and breeding,
For Ronald was black as the queen of
spades,
And Lais stll backer by several shades,
And bred with view to speeding.
And the face by my side was the loveliest
far
Like dream, through its fur wraps show
ing.
An never shone sun, nor moon. nor star.
And never broke wave over crystalline bar
With the light In those dark ewes glowing.
And never sang seraph a sweeter strain
Than the song of her ripping laughter;
And never field of golden grain
Followed the breeze like a soft refrain
AS her echolng smile followed after:
And never breathed spirit of light and air
win grace so winning and tender;
