be very unhappy"
Claus was troubled, for her grief recalled
TO him the thought that his desire was to
make all children happy, without regard
to their condition in life. Yet while so
many poor children were clamorng for his
toys he could not bear to give one of them
to Bessie Bltthesome, who had so much al
ready to make her happy.
Listen, my child" said he gently; "aIl
the toys am now making are promised to
others But the next shall be yours, since
your heart so longs for It. Come to me
again in two days and it shall be ready for
you"
Bessie gave a cry of delight, and leaning
over her pony's neck she kissed Claus pref
thy upon his forehead. Then, calling to her
men-at-arms,- she rode gaily away, leaving
Claus to resume his work.
If I am to supply the rich children as
well as the poor ones" he thought, II shall
not have spare moment in the whole
year! But Is 1t right 1 should give to the
rich? Surely I must go to Necile and talk
with her about this matter"
So when he had finished the toy deer,
which was very like deer he had known
In the forest glades, he walked into Bur-
zee and made his way to the bower of the
beautiful Nymph Necile, who had been his
foster mother.
She greeted him tenderly and lovingly,

Claus was surprised, But he continued to
white and to sing until the cavalcade
drew up before him. Then the little girl
leaned over the neck of her palfrey and
said:
PLEASE, Mr.. Claus. I want toyr'
her voice was so pleading that Claus
jumped up at once and stood beside her
But he was puzzled how to answer her re-
quest.

he, and have all that you DESIRE
Except toys. added Bessie. There are
no toys in all the world but yours"
And make them for the poor children,
who have nothing else to amuse them,'
continued Claus.

The Songs His Mother Sang

Beneath the hot midsummer SIM
The men had marched all day.
And now, beside ripping stream
Upon the grass they lay.
firing of games and idle jests,
As swept the hours along
They called to one who unused apart.
Come, friend give US a songi'
He answered: may, cannot pleaset
The only songs / know
Are those my mother used TO sing
at home, long years ago."
''Slng one Of those" a rough voice cried,
I'VE are all true men here,
And TO each mothers son of US
A mothers songs are dear"
Then sweetly sang the strong clear voice,
Amid unwonted calml
Am soldier Of the cross,
A follower Of the Lambf ~
The trees hushed all their whispering leaves,
The very stream was stilled
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender memories thrilled.
Ended the song, the singer said,
AS to his feet be rose:
Thanks to you all: good night, my frlendsI
God grant you sweet repose.'
Out spoke the captain: "Sing one more"
The soldier bent his head;
Then smiling as he glanced around,
You'll join with me- he said,
'Tn singing this familiar air,
Sweet as a bugle-call,
All hail the power Of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall.
Wondrous the spell the old tune wroughts
AS and on he sang;
Man after man fell into line,
And loud their voices rang.
The night winds bore the grand refrain
Above the treetops tall;
The Everlasting hills" called back,
In answer, Lord Of all"
The songs are done, the camp is STILL
Naught but the stream is heard;
But, ahl the depth of every soul
By those old hymns stirred.
And up from many bearded Lip
Rises in murmurs low,
The prayer the mother taught her boy
At home long years ago.

Care ofthe Hand, in Cold Weather.

Any extreme temperature, or cit her very
hot or very cold water, is not good for the
hands. Warm water is more cleansing
than cold water. A dozen drops OF the
tincture OF bepzoin added to q basin of
warm water is beneficial to the hands.
Castillo, or one OF the fine toilet soaps,
should be used. A generous lsther should
be made and the hands thoroughly rubbed
with it. A rubber flesh brush is a great
comfort.
A little bran or oatmeal, II put In the
water, has a softening effect, and makes
the skin veivety and piiabe. Almond

my wife who is now eighty-seven

years from severe catarrh of the head,
which affected her sight and hearing.

In old age the mucous membranes be-
come thickened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as well as di-
gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes lifelong
standby with old and young.
