toy question:" thought Robert, "and
by the appearance of their clothes,
guess l can't go far wrong if l lay in
a complete wardrobe for the girls"
o sons and brothers who grumble
over Christmas shopping for mothers
and sisters, you can never experience
the zest with which Robert Allerton
started upon his first Christmas shop
ping tour. 1t was the realization of
the accumulated dreams of a dozen
years. When other boys had dreamed
of fame and tender romances that
were to come into their lives, Robert
had longed only to satisfy the heart
hunger of many mot herless, sisterless
years.
1t would be impossible to describe
the raptures of the next day, when
Robert Allerton let loose upon the un-
suspecting Robbins household a
pent-up Christmas enthusiasm of
years. For "a hours I'm going to
abandon myself to the pleasant fancy
that |, like others, am the center of
home circle; for one Christmas day
I'll have my Christmas rights"
1t was in the twilight of the Christ
mas day, as Robert sat holding Nam
ME in his arms, telling her for the
seventh time the wonderful story of
Saint Nick, that the child drew his
head down to her lips and whispered:
"Janie says you're only Christmas
day brother. 1t isn't so, is it? You're
an all-the-year-round brother, aren't
you"
He satisfied the little one with a
caress.
A little later when Mother Robbins
bade him motherly good-by, she
said:
you've been SO generous in your
gifts, dear boy, and made the little
ones SO happy, and I've nothing to
give you in return but the love I've
been saving all these II years for nv
own dear boy, who needs it no more.
I thought to lavish it on him in his
young manhood, but the Lord knew
better. It's ready and waiting for such
another brave, true son."
Perhaps, after all, this is more q
universe of law and order than I had
imagined" said Robert, as he looked
up at the Christmas stars shining
! steadily in their appointed places. "It
was surely something more than mere
chance that brought me with my long
ing for a mother to the one dear little
| woman who most needed a SON.

DRESSING THE TREE.
Eow 1t May BE Done to Secure the
Best Effects.

The Woman's Home Companion
gives some hints on decorating
Christmas tree safely. 1t is we'll
known that when tapers are fixed
tc the laden branches, after the
gifts are taken off the lightened
houghs spring up and often set each
other on fire. The mode indicated
here avoids all that.
First" says the Companion, "thir
cut the branches sufficiently to al.
low the gifts to show to good ad.
vantage. Then with an auger bore
holes in a spiral row about four
or five inches apart the whole length
of the trunk. Have some fat sticks
prepared, an inch wide and half an
inch thick, and of varying lengths.
Sharpen one end, and insert them
according to their graduated lengths,
giving each blow or two with a
hammer to insure it's being firmly
fixed. Paint them green. At the
outer end the candle holder is firmly
Exed."
To the topmost branch before the
tree is put up, affix the ''Christ-child"
the winged doll, secured by slight
rubber bands under the wings. Gilt
paper stars and crescents are pref
ty, affixed here and there to the
boughs. Gay silk and tarleton bags
tull of nuts and candy, oranges and
kpples, bundles of stick candy tied
with ribbons, little baskets and
,ornucopias of figs and raisins, gild-
60 walnuts, popcorn balls, strings of
popcorn and cranberries, candy
canes, paper chains-al these and
other things they will suggest will
decorate tree SO prettily that the
children for whose pleasure it is con-
structed will forget, in their delight,
that it is not weighted down with
costly gifts.

The Birds' Christmas.

In Norway. the cold northern land,
the kind-hearted people wish to have
every creature rejoice at the glad
Christmas season. and they think Of
the dear little birds; so there is al
ways sheaf of wheat fastened high
on pole in every farmyard. that
the birds may enjoy a good dinner
of grain. and the little Norwegian
children are Santa Claus helpers,
when they help to bring Christmas to
the birds.-Detr Free Press.

Fou."
1t did not take Robert more than
i've minutes to get directions as to
street and number, and all the time
he was doing some close calculating
as to the investment OF the ten-dollar
gold piece.
"A fine dinner you're getting for
your family" said the grocer, as he
packed the basket full of good things.
Are there many of them?" "Only a
mother and two little girls Robert
answered with blush, and yet with
feeling of satisfaction.
"Supposing should not like them ?''
ae thought, as he knocked at the door
of tiny cottage ON an unpretentious
street.
His first look into Mrs. Robbins
motherly, worried face settled that
question.
Il think there must be some mis-
lake, sir" said the little widow:
they're surely not for u.s." and her
| voice trembled as she looked down at
the two little daughters who were
lowering expectantly over the bulky
basket. "Are you the grocer's young
man, and are you sure you have the
| right NUMBER
YES" answered Robert, "it's lust
the right number and description: a
| dear little mother and two little maid
ems of three and ten"
For a minute or two Mrs. Robbins
feared she was harboring an escaped
lunatic, but Robert, perceiying her
| perplexity, hastened to explain.
AS he graciously listened to Mrs.
Robbins words of gratitude, he took
mental inventory of the possibilities
of the Robbins household with view
to a Christmas-day celebration. The

VVA they prepared to close the
office the night before
Christmas. "He said: Take that and
make a merry Christmas for your fam
ily'"
"Well, wasn't that a very appropri-
ate Christmas suggestion?" inquired
the cashier.
"My family!" said the young man,
fiercely. "You tell me where my fam
lily is, will you? Other fellows have
mothers and fathers and sisters to
single soul on the face of the earth,
30 far as l know, that could call my
family. What good is Christmas, or
ten-dollar gold pieces, or anything,
for fellow who don't belong any
where?" and Robert gulped down
something that sounded suspiciously
like sob.
"Cheer up, and come over to our
house tomorrow; We'll help you to
forget your troubles" said his tender
hearted companion.
at isn't merely good time 1 want
said Robert; Pm not a baby; it is to
have somebody that belongs to me to
make a good time for.''
''Why don't you adopt a family OF
your own for Christmas?" asked the
girl, with a sudden inspiration.
Robert stared at her in amazement
"But, really, why couldn't you?
There are thousands of people, young
and old, in this city, who never have
anyone to make Christmas for them
There's my car; sorry l must go
Don't get blue; take my advice, adopt
a family of your own for Christm s."
and the girl hurried away.
Adopt a family, great ideal" said
Robert to himself; but the idea still
fingered in his mind, and really there
was something strangely fascinating
in the thought of the ownership of a
real, live family.
He stood on the corner, undecided
where to go, because it did not really
matter to anybody where he went: a
bright-eyed, clear-brained. loving.
hearted youth, candidate for sonship
to some loving mother or father; pos
sessed with perfect passion for help
ing those weaker than himself; a
yOutn ~ mdhS d uOInST ) n6drG SQ-
preme1y happy, and father proud
and glad.
"Pm earning enough" thought Rob-
ert. II could support a mother and q
sister, too; and I'm going to be pro-
NOTED. Mr.. Wilkins, the manager,
told me so to-day. But what's the
use? 1t will only be a few more dol
lars to put away in the bank. 1t does
seem as if things were pretty well
tangled up in this world sometimes.
I'd give up my job any day if could
have family like John Witherbee's,
and yet he is always grumbling be-
cause he has to help at home"
As Robert walked aimlessly down
the street, he found himself uncon-
+; sciously scrutinizing every woman and
! child, with the idea of possible pro-
prietorship.
The door of a church stood inviting
ly open, and because Robert did not
/ belong anywhere in particular, he en-
| tered and sat down in a corner Some
thing unusual was evidently in prog.
!. ress. A man stood on the platform,
J and seemed to be acting as auctioneer.

School Notes.

The public school will render the Ma
tional Flower, an operetta Of unusual
interest, at the opera house on Thursday
evening. In connection with the school
entertainment, it is we'll to remember
that the net proceeds are used for the
public school library. There are now In
the school library $50 volumes Of we'll
chosen books, the result Of previous en-
tertainments. To see the number OF
these books that are taken out each
week must convince anyone Of the value
of this factor in educating our children.
Good books insure good thoughts, and
good thoughts insure good lives. A few
dollars spent each year in this way will
bri ing more fruitful harvest than almost
any other similar investment.
Graduating exercises will be held at
the opera house on Friday evening, May
q. No admission will be charged at
this time. A most excellent program
has been arranged for the occasion.
