'Tts grandma's Christmas from the boys.

With all the little ones at play.
And ne'er an ache or pain.

From all the nelghbors near;
Each sent note with wishes sweet.
Twould do you good to hear.
This easy-chair's from Brother Tom:
Jack sent this fur-lined hood:
And here's Bob's check from Michigan.
For winters coal and wood
And let me see-gold spectacles,

How often by the hickory fire
I've spun both wool and thread,
And only lighted candles, when

Who wore the Sleeps rough skin and

And d!ned upon the kid,
They want me, too, but bless their

And here / mean to stay.

Hallowed by smile and tear;

What love has made so dear
I'm fond of my old roekng-ehair,
Though brothers gift is fine,
For there once laid the silver hair,
That changed as fast mine.
And down the road a little way,
Then up the hillside steep,

Where father lies asleep;

Old Santa comes this way,
He brings a whole years happiness,
Wrapped in a single day.

Christmas. He had aways looked
forward to it with pleasurable an

the day had not meant so very much

he always had managed to give Han

discourage him and set him back.

That evening there was nothing
further said about Christmas be-

nine o'clock they were in bed. 1t was

be the holiday. As he lay there, Mr..
Bennett wondered what he should do

dened by the thought.
The day before Christmas was
bright and clear. There had been a
generous fall of snow during the
night and everything out of doors
was covered with the pure white
mantle. Samuel Bennett was out
shoveling paths when the expressman
drove along, with a well-flled sleigh

That afternoon about three o'clock,
a muffied-up little form trudged
through the snow and up the road to
the Bennetts' farmhouse.
"Why, Amy Darrow, what you do

Mrs. Bennett, as she opened the door
and saw the little girl standing on the
steps. "Come right in before you
