Santa Claus laughed, "TIa, ha, hal
What a very wise pony you arel"
But when 1t was dark, and all over
the Christmas tree the little candles
We're lit, Baby Louise did open her eyes
with surprise (she never had seen a
Christmas tree before.)
What will happen next?' she
thought, and just at that minute the
barn door opened and in ran Peter and
Ellen and the naughty monkey and the
funny parrot. And o. how Peter and
Ellen laughed and clapped their hands,
when they saw the Christmas tree in
the barn and the funny Santa Clausl
And little Ellen said, 90. we know
Santa Claus trimmed our Christmas
tree out here in the barn so that dear
Baby Louise could see it," And the
parrot put her head on one side and
looked at the Christmas trees and said,

that Santa Claus had written the let
ter, and they never dreamed that all
the day before Christmas Eve Santa
Claus was out in the barn, snug and
warm, with papa and mama or o, how
they would have wished they were out
there, too.
But baby Louise. the little white
pony, knew. All day long she stood
in her little stall and looked out with
her beautiful big dark eyes, watching
mamma and papa and dear Santa
Claus trimming the Christmas tree and
loading the green branches with pres
ents for Peter and Ellen and the
naughty monkey and the funny par-
rot.
Mamma laughed and said, 20, baby
Louise, II you could only talk you

splendid time you have had to-day.
Woulaht you dear?" And the little
Write pony tossed up her head and
whinhied loudly, which meant yes

for this, which consisted of at least 10
pales, and represented the larger part
OF each crop for three years, Mr.. Bobs
found that he was able to better HIM
self in many ways. A neighbor, equal
ly as prosperous, wanted to buy his
small farm, and he, having in view a
river farm in Baldwin county, which
he had coveted when a young man,
concluded to make a change. He had
Kin in Milledgeville, and when he had
sold his farm, after gathering his crop,
he and his sister. Miss Elviry, packed
up their belongings. placed them in
the wagon which had brought Billy to
their door and proceeded to Milledge-
Vile over Che same road that Billy had
travelled the year before. And the
wagon was drawn by the same mules,
which We're as fat and as sleek as ever.
1t seemed passing strange to Mr..
Bobs and his sister that no one had
ever come searching for Billy. But IL
was not strange at all. A search had
been instituted by Billy's mother and
uncle. and it had been kept up for
months, but they had never heard a
word of the lost child. They were told
of the wagon that had gone out on
the Eatonton road and they carried
their search as far as the ferry on
Little river, where the man who was
In charge assured them that there was
no child in the wagon that had crossed
on the day mentioned. He was sure Of
it, he said, because he had looked In
the wagon.
But the ferryman had only glanced
into the wagon. He was under the
impression that the driver was a fed
eral soldier, and he gave him q pretty
wide berth. He failed to ask him for
the ferriage, and it was perhaps as
well, for Ransom had no money. But
when the wagon crossed the ferry Bill
ly was lying under quilt fast asleep.
Finally, the active search was given
up and when this happened, at least
two of the household gave themselves

papa had a very large stove put up In
the barn and built a splendid big fire
in the stove, so 1t was warm and cozy.
All day long before the night of the
Christmas tree Peter and Ellen kept
wondering where mama and papa
could be. For papa had said: You
must be very good children all day
and not go out in the yard and be sure
not to go to the barn. Then we will
give you a grand surprise this even

Mama and papa were out In the barn
all day working with Santa Claus,
trimming the beautiful Christmas tree.
Santa Claus, dear, had written a LETT

A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE.

When Christmas Eve came mama
and papa planned a grand surprise for
little Peter and Ellen. Instead OF a
Christmas tree in the house, as chill

white pony so dearly they were never
quite happy. unless she was with them,
so darling papa and mama decided
that they would have the Christmas

you ask, wasn't it too cold in the barn
to enjoy a Christmas tree? Yes, 1t
would have been too cold but darling

SAD ACCIDENT.
Allan Blbb Shoots Hmself-WiII Prob
 ably Die.

Athens, July 24.-(Specia1.)-A sad ac- cident happened at Belle Nina in the low CT part of this county this morning. which will cost the life of very bright lad of fourteen years. Allan, son of , Captain Porter Bibb. prominent citizen of that section, while looking at his bro- ther's pistol, which had been left in the room accidentally discharged it, the ball entering his left side. passing entirely through his left lung and coming out at his back. He and the cook were the only persons about the place.
 The cook heard the report but did not think about any accident, but finally the lad came walking down the stairs and into the kitchen and reported that he had shot himself, but asked her not to tell his father. The cook at once sent a runner for the Captain, who was at his office a mile away eud holding court. He and the local physicians hurried to the home and every attention was given the wounded boy, but the wound is of such a severe nature that it is considered impossible for the boy to live through the night.
 The father of the boy is grandson of Alabama's second Governor and is a prominent citizen, an ex-member of the General Assembly and local justice of the peace. The family are prostrated over the sad accident as the child was the youngest of a large and interesting family of children.

MANAGER 6OLES TELLS
 ABOUT SCENE AT SELMA

Montgomery. July M.-(special)-In the game at Selma today Harlow was put out of the game because he took punch at Wilhelm. The latter was running to first and in passing the base brushed against Harlow. Harlow followed Wil- helm and struck at him as he was turn ing. Wilhelm hooked his arm around Harlow's neck and had him almost down when Martin separated them.
 Players and spectators crowded around and the police threatened to arrest Bir- mingham players. but did not do so.
 Fender at first refused to put Harlow out of the game. but when Brandt, who was umpiring declared the game forfeit ed to Birmingham Fender ordered Har- low off the grounds Cribbens. one of the umpires tipped off battery signs in the first inning and enabled Selma to make three runs they couldn't have made otherwise. Cline robbed us of the first two games by his yellow work.

pays small heed to the claims of health. He eats anything. anyhow, anywhen, and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts by any means nor spare his purse to i'll his stomach. The mistake lie makes IS in thinking that when man has hlled his stomach, that is the end of the bust ness of feeding. Instead Of beiug the end of feeding it's only the begihniiig. There is no value ill food unless 1t is digested, converted into nutrition and assimilated. These processes depend upon the healthfulness of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition. When these organs are dis eased they cannot extract the nutrition from the food. received into tine stomach and the body becomes weak through lack of nourishHent. One day thus wweakness" begins to find special de- velopment in soiue chief organ, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., to which the mau succumbs. The doctors certificate reads uheart disease,n kidney disease" fas the case may be.
 But the real reading of the certificate should be:
 STARVED TO DEATH.
 The truth of this statement is appar- cut. The body IS sustained by food diqested and assiinilated But the body is made up of its parts aud organs, and when the stomach is uweak," digestion imperfect. and the nutrition extracted from food inadequate to the needs of the body, the result is shared by every part and organ of the body. For this reason no man Is stronger than his stomach. and no organ sustained by the stomach can be stronger than the stomach. Therefore when we hear of rweak !" stomach we are pretty sure we are going to hear in time of cweak heart, "weaku lungs, vweak kidneys, or weakness of some other organ of the body dependent on the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition.
 Now these things being true when r,,au has heart trouble" i" liver vtrouble."

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
 to Accumulate Money.

There is certain fearful fascination about the stories of the tnisers of the past. The money they accumulated was of no more practical value to them than the trinkcts stolcn and secreted by some uagpie or jAckdaw. They hid 1t from the sight and use of men and in silence and secret gloated over the useless wealth. To gather it they lived on crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover them and fire to warm them, lived starved lives and in nor few cases died of starvation. That was the old-time nliser. The modern miser resembles this man of the past in the particular that he frequently dies of starvation.
