Christmas does not bring happiness
Ito everybody. Peace does not always
come and even good will is sometimes
difficult to entertain.
Robert Yates did not have a merry
Christmas, nor did his family. Pros
poets had been bright enough the day
before, and he had left home for the
days work with feenng of content,
looking forward in pleasure to the
giftgiving of the morrow. But as he
was on his way back in the evening,
laden with his share of the mysterious
bundles that are always seen on
Christmas Eve, he became suddenly
weak. Fierce pans shot through his
! head and body and he became so dizzy
! that he was hardly able to make his
way home. He was confined to the
bed and the happiness of that Christ
mas was destroyed for him and his
family
He continues the story as follows:
