DOESN'T WANT MUCH.

He doesn't want very much
At Christmas time his year;
Just a few little things
To boyish hearts so dear.
He'll be content with just a few
OF all the hosts of toys
That Christmas morning ought to bring
To all good little boys.
He only wants a rocking horse,
A trumpet and a drum,
A shiny sword and leather belt,
Some candy and some gum,
A train of cars, and engines, too,
hat round the playroom roll,
A fireman's hat, a ball and bat,
And a police. patrol.

sleighs hat he had seen in Dunkirk's
store the day before Christmas. "But
they are a dollar and fifty cents,' he
said to his mamma, "and I have only
20 ive-cent pieces in my bank"
IF I give you ten more fve-cent
pieces" said his mother, smiling, how
much will o have them"
Zone hundred and fifty cents" cried
Archie, laughing aloud. May 1 go
and buy the sleigh now?"

SOM of those lovely red berries 1 saw
in the wood yesterday. They would.
look so nice among the evergreens.
And besides, grandma and your aunts
love them So"
"Ill bring you a lot" said Archie.
In a few moments he was running
down the road toward Mr.. Dunkirk's
store.
AS he passed a tiny cottage on the
way a very small boy pushed open
the window and shouted:
Santa Claus is going to bring me a
sleigh tonight"
How do you know, Dick?"' asked
Archie.
ELLEN told me So" said Dick.
Archie had never seen the little fell
lows face look so bright and happy.
He knew that Dick lived alone with
his sister, who, though only fifteen
years old. worked hard all day long
in the big silk factory to support her
self and her brother. And as Archie
walked toward Mr.. Dunkirk's store he
thought a great deal of Dicks happy
face.
AS he turned a corner suddenly he
ran against a girl standing in the
road. 1t was Dicks sister and she
was crying.
what is the matter?" asked Archie.
Why don't you go homer
"I-can't bear to see Dick. I prom
ised him a sleigh and l spoiled a lot
of silk to-day and have been dismissed
from the works without my weeks
pay"
The tears were in Archie's eyes as
he went on his way. When he reached
the little cottage on his return he
stood still behind a great bush outside
Of the gate. Little Dick was still peer
ing out. Archie watched the eager
face for several moments, then, when
the child left the window, he stole
softly through the little garden up
the rickety steps. Then, fastening the
rope of his beautiful new sleigh to
the door knob, he gave three loud raps
and raj away.
He heard Dick open the door and
shout:
ooh! oh! oh! See what Santa Claus
has brought me"
1t was eight o'clock on Christmas
Eve and at Arches house his mother
stood at the door looking white and
frightened. His father, with a Ian
tern in his hand, stood in the road.
Archie had not come home.
81 have been to Mr.. Dunkirk's store"
said Archie's father. "He left before
dark. Now 1 will search the wood"
Some one shouted, Hello! hello!
hello!"
There he is now!" cried Arches
mother. "I am so glad!" and she ran
down the road toward the voice.
The first person they met was Ellen,
pulling a beautiful new red and green
sleigh over the smooth snow and on it
was little Dick. and Archie with his
arms full of red berries.
ooh, where have you been?" said
his mother, as he ran to meet her.

Here is a good story of William Col
lier. for which that distinguished COM
edian's press agent solemnly vouches.
1t also serves to illustrate the fact that
force of habit is occasionally very
embarrassing element in everyday life.
After the long run of ION the Quiet
had closed last June at the Madison
Square theatre Mr.. Collier retired to his
summer home at St. James, L. l.,
where he keeps a handsome yacht. 1t
is Necessary to the proper understand
ing of what followed TO remember that
in the last act of "On the Quiet Mr..
Collier makes his exit over the side of
a yacht; and, having done so nightly
for about 100 performances, the force
of habit was not easy to shake off,
even in the quiet Of his summer re-
treat. The very first time that the COM
edian tried to leave his real yacht so
the story goes, he absent mindedly
walked over the side, speedily realiz-
ing the difference between the canvas
sea of Madison Square and the genuine
article supplied in SmithtOwn bay. Col
